Phife Dawg, Lyric Jones - Residual Curiosities lyrics

People come into your life
For a reason, season
Seventeen years and shorty
Still got me cheesin'
Twenty-third birthday
How could I not remember?
Gloomy, foggy day, twentieth of November
Train delays galore, three hours at LaGuardia
Son, take a shot,  now we well out to order
We got a show in the Great Lakes scene
With Serena, boy, you gotta love the D
Twenty thousand seat
The home of the Red Wings
Show sold out, gotta do the damn thing
Reggie Noble on the bill
And De La makes it insane
Shaheed Muhammad said
"Better bring your A-game"
So 313, represent, represent
Detroit city, represent, represent
Crowd bum-rushed


The front in less than a sec
ATCQ, that's what I call respect, yo

So I been curious about the reasons
That people come in life
That different seasons
(Over and over again)
After all these years went by
Still been on my mind
(After all these years went by)
Wish I can run it back again
One time, one time

Honeys backstage, got my eyes all of them
Few attended MSU, others U of M
Some rep the D, Flint, East Lansing
Hi, my name's, wanna be my Cookie Johnson?
After spot Saint Andrew's
We drinkin' and a-dancin'
Somethin' 'bout the that just
Seems so enchantin'
One was Juanita, twins named Salita
Fell in love with Tribe
When they first heard "Bonita"
Finally figured out
Why they were bangin', no doubt
But what made them stand out
Where they would be girl-ed out
As I watched Salita hard
I watched Juanita even harder
Door-knockin' earring
Plus her dookie rope was larger
Can say Slick Rick, Daddy Kane, and LL
Fifty-four eleven Spandex, yeah, well
Some MC like word-for-word Nases
Ain't hard to tell
She says
"Come visit me at school
I wanna get to know you well"

So I been curious about the reasons
That people come in life
That different seasons
(Over and over again)
After all these years went by
Still been on my mind
(After all these years went by)
Wish I can run it back again one time
One time

I left for tour a few weeks
We stayed in contact
Made a few calls
But shorty didn't chirp back
Had a show at Sacks State
Ran into her sister
Gave her a hug, on her cheek, I kissed her
Was still with twin, called her
But no callback
Said Juanita passed
Christmas Eve, fuckin' carjacked?
I stood frozen, still consoled her sister
Damn, what I'd do just to kiss her
I said, a nigga stood frozen
Still consoled her sister
Damn, what I'd do just
To kiss her (Just to kiss)

So
I been curious about the reasons
That people come in life
That different seasons
(Over and over again)

Uh, yeah
Check it, what?
One, two, three, four
As the sun (Uh, Phife)
Makes it's way up in the (No, no)
What? No?
Let the professional do it

As the sun
Makes it's way up in the clouds
Rays of light show us how
Ain't no coincidences
I wish I could run it back
Run it back again

Nigga, that ain't how it go
October 4th, 2008
Yo, what's up? You ready?
Yeah, no doubt
Let me check my messages right quick
Ayo, the Jets win last night?
Hey, Malik, this, get well soon
We love you down here in VA, bye
Thanks, doc, 'preciate it
Yo, what up, Phife?
This is Michael Rapaport, man
Yo, I'm checking in on you, man
Seeing how you doing after this surgery
Man (Did they win?)
How you feeling, man?
(Did the Eagles win?)
How's that kidney doing, man?
Yo, time for you
To get your shit together, man
To come back (Word)
On some Rocky 2 shit
Alright?
Yo, hit me, man
Funky diabetic with the brand new kidney
Hi, boo, it's me
I'm here at home recuperating
Waiting for you to come home
(Yo, take me straight to the studio)
So hurry up and get home (Don't say shit)
Stop throwing IV poles
And giving the nurses trouble
(Word up, she's cray)
Hi, dear, this is mom
(Uh-oh, it's moms)
I was hoping to get
To talk to you, you know
But I figured that maybe
You're sleeping or something
But think positive
Pray to that kidney, praise that kidney
(Sleep? I'm out of here)
Thank it for being in your body
Wish it well
