Yo this is the rock kicking it with the refugee camp[00:00:00]
And you're bout to smell what the rock is cooking[00:00:03]
Yo this is strictly a club record[00:00:06]
Dedicated to everybody who used to stand outside in the cold[00:00:08]
When the FLEX was spinning at the red zone hooded down[00:00:12]
And these tired bouncers would not let me in[00:00:17]
You know what I'm saying[00:00:19]
Yo yo yo[00:00:20]
I got fifty Bentley's in the west indies[00:00:21]
It doesn't matter[00:00:24]
I got a pocket full of cheese and a garden full of trees[00:00:25]
It doesn't matter[00:00:28]
I just won the bingo bought a crib in Rio[00:00:30]
It doesn't matter[00:00:32]
Cause if you ain't sharing people ain't caring[00:00:34]
Come up in the hood and they take everything you wearin'[00:00:36]
Back in the days it was all about the clubs[00:00:38]
And the so called thugs used to dance the break for love[00:00:41]
The girls they wouldn't say hey[00:00:43]
Unless you bought em champagne like it was they birthday[00:00:44]
Me I used to stand outside[00:00:47]
Hustling my way in I'm on the guest list plus five[00:00:48]
Who's performing tonight he said shabba[00:00:51]
Mister lover daddy he be the selector[00:00:53]
Someone jump the rock's up in here[00:00:55]
Disrespect emcees and catch a smack in your left ear[00:00:57]
Light up like Vegas when it's time to gamble[00:00:59]
Girls scream for me like I was part of the Beatles[00:01:01]
But I'm not honey but I could be your Paul Mccartney[00:01:03]
And ebony or ivory into my jacuzzi[00:01:05]
Foundation like kool herc or DJ red alert goes bezerk[00:01:07]
The needle ain't skip the record jerked[00:01:10]
Cause y'all jumping too hard[00:01:11]
Hey hey hey hey hey[00:01:13]
I got fifty Bentley's in the west indies[00:01:16]
It doesn't matter[00:01:18]
I got a pocket full of cheese and a garden full of trees[00:01:20]
It doesn't matter[00:01:22]
What I just won the bingo bought a crib in Rio[00:01:24]
It doesn't matter[00:01:26]
Yo' cause if you ain't sharing people ain't caring[00:01:28]
Come up in the hood and they take everything you wearin'[00:01:30]
Yo rock I just bought a fresh Bentley[00:01:32]
It doesn't matter you just bought a fresh Bentley[00:01:34]
How many of y'all ever been to a barbecue[00:01:37]
And you always got an aunt or uncle[00:01:39]
Wanna show you how the old dances go[00:01:41]
And they start it off like this[00:01:43]
Electric slide on the dance floor[00:01:45]
Freaky deaky like studio 54[00:01:47]
Girls until the irs raids it[00:01:49]
Drug money get converted into music[00:01:52]
The d**e man becomes an entertainer[00:01:54]
Leave that crack alone I told the customers[00:01:55]
I'm into bigger and better things Mr fiend[00:01:57]
You want a hit give me a guitar and a drum machine[00:02:00]
And the crowd will scream loud when the bass thump[00:02:02]
I can smell it in the air the smell is funk[00:02:04]
Excuse me I gotta cough[00:02:07]
Girl you in so much ice you could freeze New York[00:02:08]
You're man must really love you what does he do for a living[00:02:10]
He works on wall street he's only home two nights a week[00:02:12]
That's when she said a little too much conversation[00:02:14]
Think she want to indulge in lyrical masturbation[00:02:16]
So I proceeded with the conversation I said[00:02:18]
Can I offer you a glass of Merlot Mrs no name[00:02:21]
Let's get it straight huh my name's Veronica[00:02:23]
She had the a** the size of south America[00:02:25]
She said ain't you that kid that sing guantanamera[00:02:27]
Way before Ricky Martin sung living la vida loca[00:02:29]
What hood you come from[00:02:32]
I was raised in Brooklyn but did my studies in Jerusalem[00:02:33]
The new Jerusalem yup that's short for new jersey[00:02:35]
Checked my watch it was a quarter to three[00:02:37]
Slid to her crib when we opened the door[00:02:39]
Her man was on the bottle waiting for her with the 44[00:02:41]
Now what it look like it ain't really that[00:02:43]
It doesn't matter[00:02:46]
So he cocked the gat at my top hat[00:02:48]
It doesn't matter[00:02:50]
Are you crazy you was married[00:02:52]
It doesn't matter[00:02:54]
Cause if you ain't sharing people ain't caring[00:02:56]
Come up in your hood and they take everything you wearin'[00:02:58]
Yeah that's when shorty walked up to her man[00:03:00]
And she said I gotta go I can't be here no more[00:03:04]
And she said this[00:03:07]
Take me home to the place[00:03:08]
I belong at the refugee camp[00:03:12]
And the booga basement[00:03:16]
That's where I live oh[00:03:18]
Come on[00:03:21]
Yo rock I sold like seventeen million records[00:03:24]
It doesn't matter how many records you've sold[00:03:26]
Alright I'm with you yo check it out[00:03:28]
It doesn't matter if the rock wants to go get diamond rings or not[00:03:32]
Man listen listen[00:03:35]
