The Roots, John-John - Baby lyrics

[The Roots, John-John - Baby lyrics]

Slow down when you're hitting them corners
Fuck around, spill this 'gnac on my
Two hundred dollar suit
(stop being a backseat driver man)
(turn him up)

Your ma don't like to jitterbug
Said this unholy music
Hip hop just so ridiculous
Everything sounds so confusing
Nowadays ain't nothing like it was
One thing that showed the blues
Is this system so mysterious
Can't let that stop the movement
Can't get no satisfaction, they all laughing
Glad it's happening
All ringside for the main attraction
Acting a fool with a lust for action
Young girl caught in a crime of passion
Sitting there crying in designer fashion
Didn't blow, didn't have time for asking


"Somebody call for the ambulances", girl

Baby, baby, baby
Baby let me live, please, girl let me slide
Baby, baby, baby
Baby if you let me go, I swear I'll change
Just change your mind

Your old man don't like to jitterbug
Said this old dirty music
Hip hop just so ridiculous
Them stories too confusing
Nowadays he ain't loving you like he was
And you ain't there just for using
Could have sworn that was
Him with another girl
And they wasn't out just for cruising
Can't get no satisfaction
He out late nights, probably smashing
Leaving a trail like trolley tracks
Or the train on the ground
Downtown Manhattan
Everybody seen him run around and
You bound to catch him
The condoms, you found and asked him
Was all this just for practice?
He didn't realize what he had
Now your heart got fractured, girl

Baby, baby, baby
Baby let me live, please, girl let me slide
Baby, baby, baby
Baby if you let me go, I swear I'll change
Just change your mind

Baby, baby, baby baby, baby, baby
