Passin' Me By - The Pharcyde[00:00:00]
Now in my younger days I used to sport a shag[00:00:25]
When I went to school I carried lunch in a bag[00:00:28]
With an apple for my teacher 'cause I knew I'd get a kiss[00:00:30]
Always got mad when the class was dismissed[00:00:33]
But when it was in session I always had a question[00:00:36]
I would raise my hand to make her stagger to my desk and[00:00:39]
Help me with my problem it was never much[00:00:42]
Just a trick to smell her scent and try to sneak a touch[00:00:44]
Oh how I wish I could hold her hand and give her a hug[00:00:47]
She was married to the man he was a thug [00:00:51]
His name was Lee he drove a Z [00:00:53]
He'd pick her up from school promptly at three o'clock[00:00:55]
I was on her jock yes indeedy I wrote graffiti on the bus[00:00:57]
First I'd write her name then carve a plus [00:01:02]
With my name last on the looking glass [00:01:04]
I seen her yesterday but still I had to let her pass[00:01:06]
She keeps on passin me by [00:01:12]
When I dream of fairytales I think of me and Shelly[00:01:32]
See she's my type of hype and I can't stand when brothers tell me[00:01:33]
That I should quit chasin' and look for something better[00:01:37]
But the smile that she shows makes me a go-getter[00:01:39]
I haven't gone as far as asking if I could get with her[00:01:42]
I just play it by ear and hope she gets the picture[00:01:44]
I'm shootin for her heart got my finger on the trigger[00:01:47]
She could be my broad and I could be her (ni**a)[00:01:50]
But all I can do is stare [00:01:53]
Back as kids we used to kiss when we played truth or dare[00:01:56]
Now she's more sophisticated highly edu-ma-cated[00:01:59]
Not at all over-rated I think I need a prayer[00:02:01]
To get in her boots and it looks rather dry[00:02:04]
I guess a twinkle in her eye is just a twinkle in her eye[00:02:06]
Although she's crazy steppin I'll try to stop her stride[00:02:09]
Cause I won't have no more of this passin me by[00:02:12]
Time for me to voice my opinion of not even pretendin she didn't have me[00:02:15]
Strung like a chicken chase my tail like a doggie[00:02:18]
She was kind of like a star thinking I was like a fan[00:02:20]
Dude she looked good down side: she had a man[00:02:23]
He was a rooty-toot a nincompoop[00:02:26]
She told me soon your little birdie's gonna fly the coop[00:02:29]
She was a flake like corn and I was born not to understand[00:02:31]
By lettin her pass I had proved to be a better man[00:02:35]
She keeps on passin me by [00:02:40]
Now there she goes again the dopest Ethiopian[00:03:10]
And now the world around me be gets movin in slow motion[00:03:12]
When-ever she happens to walk by - why does the apple of my eye[00:03:15]
Overlook and disregard my feelings no matter how much I try [00:03:19]
Wait no i did not really pursue my little princess with persistance;[00:03:21]
And I was so low-key that she was unaware of my existance[00:03:24]
From a distance I desired secretly admired her;[00:03:27]
Wired her a letter to get her and it went:[00:03:31]
My dear my dear my dear you do not know me but I know you very well[00:03:32]
Now let me tell you about the feelings I have for you[00:03:35]
When I try 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 that I love you so[00:03:43]
And if I was your man then I would be true[00:03:45]
The only lying I would do is in the bed with you[00:03:47]
Then I signed sincerely the one who loves you dearly PS love me tender[00:03:49]
The letter came back three days later: Return to Sender[00:03:51]
Damn [00:03:55]
She keeps on passin me by[00:03:57]
