Mr. Lif, Insight - Status lyrics

[Mr. Lif, Insight - Status lyrics]

I was mad dipped butterfly collars and shit
Chains from the slave ship
Dreads with the wave kit
Bifocals and wing tips
Velvet pants and a velour coat
Looked in the mirror "Damn, I look dope"
Folded up the singles in my loot-clip
Put a sock in my pants
On some Uncle Luke shit
Dressed to impress, now I'm ready to go
The club is twelve blocks away
And I got no loot, so
I walk ten and take a cab for two
Black duct tape over the hole in my shoe
I've got the hottest dance steps
Running Man, Cabbage Patch plus The Robocop
Then I'll bring back The Wop
Jaws will drop and all the ladies will flock
Brothers thinking
(What he got that I ain't got?)
I'll tell ya, fella
It's written in my bestseller
It started to rain shit, I got no umbrella
The walking turned to running
Still, I look stunning
Covered 'nuff ground before my
Taxi was summoned (Hey, taxi)
Got to the spot and hopped out at the front
Tripped over the curb, limping
'cause my toes were stubbed
Then I tried to give pounds
To people I didn't know
(Yo, what's up, y'all?) like Lucy and Joe
My destination was the back do'
Not because the bouncer told me
Not to come back
I'm just sneaking in the club
Because I got it like that

I remember when you used to be broke
Ignored when you spoke
And people would take you for a joke
You used to go to the club
And look like a scrub
But couldn't afford the admission
From outside, you're looking in
Waiting for a chance to slip by
You slide through the back door
But, you wasn't supposed to be there
You'd look like an idiot if you got caught
But, you didn't care
Just as long as you got your groove on
It was smooth sailing
They was playing the Thong Song
You're feeling shorty with the boots on
Cutting through the crowd sideways
It's time to move strong to cool kick it
Say something slick off the top
Flash your jewels, fix your suit
Fidgeting with your wristwatch (Mhmm)
But right when you was in the
Corner acting a big shot
They threw on some hiphop
People got on the dance floor
And a bouncer saw you standing at
The corner near the door (Hey, you)
He started walking your way
To muscle you out since you refused to pay
So there was nothing for you to say
When he blew up your spot
(I told you not to come back here)
And threw you out the front to the floor
Past the bar on the right
Through the double doors
You mumbled and swore
Stumbled and tripped on the pavement
(Goddamn) people in line started laughing
When they threw you hat then
Screaming that you wasn't allowed back in
But that was back then
Acting like nothing happened
You patted your Tims off
Depressed from embarrassment
It could have been fresh
It would have been lavish
One day you'll make it and won't
Have to deal with this madness
