Passin' Me By (Brixton Flavour) - The Pharcyde[00:00:01]
Now in my younger days[00:00:25]
I used to sport as shag[00:00:26]
When I went to school[00:00:28]
I carried lunch in a bag[00:00:29]
With an apple for my teacher[00:00:31]
'Cause I knew I'd get a kiss[00:00:32]
Always got mad[00:00:33]
When the class was dismissed[00:00:34]
But when it was in session [00:00:36]
I always had a question[00:00:37]
I would raise my hand[00:00:39]
To make her stagger to my desk and[00:00:40]
Help me with my problem [00:00:42]
It was never much[00:00:43]
Just a trick [00:00:44]
To smell her scent and try to sneak a touch[00:00:45]
Oh how I wish I could hold her hand[00:00:47]
And give her a hug[00:00:50]
She was married to the man [00:00:51]
He was a thug [00:00:52]
His name was Lee he drove a Z [00:00:53]
He'd pick her up from school[00:00:55]
Promptly at three o'clock[00:00:56]
I was on her jock yes indeedy[00:00:58]
I wrote graffiti on the bus[00:01:00]
First I'd write her name[00:01:02]
Then carve a plus [00:01:03]
With my name last [00:01:04]
On the looking glass [00:01:05]
I seen her yesterday[00:01:06]
But still I had to let her pass[00:01:07]
She keeps on passing me by [00:01:12]
She keeps on passing me by [00:01:18]
She keeps on passing me by [00:01:23]
She keeps on passing[00:01:29]
When I dream of fairytales[00:01:31]
I think of me and Shelly[00:01:32]
See she's my type of hype[00:01:34]
And I can't stand when brothers tell me[00:01:35]
That I should quit chasin'[00:01:37]
And look for something better[00:01:38]
But the smile that she shows[00:01:39]
Makes me a go-getter[00:01:41]
I haven't gone as far as asking[00:01:42]
If I could get with her[00:01:44]
I just play it by ear[00:01:45]
And hope she gets the picture[00:01:46]
I'm shootin for her heart [00:01:48]
Got my finger on the trigger[00:01:49]
She could be my broad [00:01:50]
And I could be her nigga[00:01:52]
But all I can do is stare [00:01:53]
Back as kids we used to kiss[00:01:56]
When we played truth or dare[00:01:57]
Now she's more sophisticated [00:01:59]
Highly edu-ma-cated[00:02:00]
Not at all over-rated [00:02:01]
I think I need a prayer[00:02:03]
To get in her boots and it looks rather dry[00:02:04]
I guess a twinkle in her eye[00:02:07]
Is just a twinkle in her eye[00:02:08]
Although she's crazy steppin [00:02:10]
I'll try to stop her stride[00:02:11]
Cause I won't have no more[00:02:12]
Of this passin me by[00:02:14]
And I must voice my opinion of not[00:02:15]
Even pretending she didn't have me[00:02:16]
Strung like a chicken [00:02:18]
Chase my tail like a doggie[00:02:19]
She was kind of like a star [00:02:21]
Thinking I was like a fan[00:02:22]
Dude she looked good [00:02:23]
Down side: she had a man[00:02:25]
He was a rooty-toot [00:02:26]
A nincompoop[00:02:28]
She told me soon[00:02:28]
Your little birdie's gonna fly the coop[00:02:29]
She was a flake like corn [00:02:31]
And I was born not to understand[00:02:33]
By lettin her pass[00:02:35]
I had proved to be a better man[00:02:36]
She keeps on passing me by [00:02:40]
She keeps on passing me by [00:02:46]
She keeps on passing me by [00:02:51]
She keeps on passing me[00:02:56]
Now there she goes again [00:03:10]
The dopest Ethiopian[00:03:11]
And now the world around me be[00:03:12]
Gets movin in slow motion[00:03:14]
When-ever she happens to walk by[00:03:15]
Why does the apple of my eye[00:03:17]
Overlook and disregard my feelings[00:03:18]
No matter how much I try [00:03:20]
Wait no [00:03:21]
I did not really pursue my[00:03:22]
Little princess with persistance;[00:03:23]
And I was so low-key[00:03:25]
That she was unaware of my existance[00:03:26]
From a distance I desired [00:03:27]
Secretly admired her;[00:03:29]
Wired her a letter to get her [00:03:30]
And it went:[00:03:32]
My dear my dear my dear [00:03:32]
You do not know me[00:03:33]
But I know you very well[00:03:34]
Now let me tell you[00:03:35]
About the feelings I have for you[00:03:36]
When I try [00:03:38]
Or make some sort of attempt I symp[00:03:38]
Damn I wish I wasn't such a wimp [00:03:40]
'Cause then I would let you know[00:03:42]
That I love you so[00:03:44]
And if I was your man then I would be true[00:03:44]
The only lying I would do[00:03:46]
Is in the bed with you[00:03:47]
Then I signed sincerely the one[00:03:49]
Who loves you dearly [00:03:50]
PS love me tender[00:03:51]
The letter came back three days later:[00:03:52]
Return to Sender[00:03:53]
Damn [00:03:54]
She keeps on passing me by [00:03:57]
She keeps on passing me by [00:04:03]
She keeps on passing me by [00:04:08]
She keeps on passing me by [00:04:14]
She keeps on passing[00:04:19]
