Yeah...
This is the story 'bout a one and only mother
There never was before and there never'll be another
Heck-a motor scooter, so fine U wanna shoot her
Dressed like butter, holdin' a cup o'glass cutter
Glass cutter
Oh yeah
This is the jam about a purple fantasy
Every man know it's how it's s'posed 2 be
So sharp (sharp) make a brother heart go flutter (flutter flutter)
Dress holdin' onto a cup or glass cutter
Glass cutter
This about as hard as Arabian math
Water drops jumpin' when ya takin' a bath
The towel unraveled till it looks like gravel
All a brother can do is just laugh, uh
But under his breath he gon' mutter
But under his breath he gon' mutter
But under his breath he gon' mutter
"Baby got a cup o'glass cutter"
This about a mother got a brother sprung
I looked up the word "heaven", saw a picture of her tongue
If she was a song, she'd be sung
'stead of rhyming I'd be a singer so I could brung
A parmesan, cheddar cheese
Please, U better believe she'd get what she want
Cuz I want just what she got
I'm a new car, and she's a lot, a whole lotta woman
Girl got a case'o 2 fine
She got it bad and that's good
I'm gonna tell her 2 her face, cuz another brutha wouldn't
I don't wanna make her heartbeat go flutter
Dressed like butter, cup or glass cutter {x2}
U make my heart go flutter, glass cutter {x3}
{scatting}
Who will be a guest in your tent?
Certainly not the ones who don't wanna repent
And keep giving guns 2 the poorest of our nation's sons
Who is gonna call U by name
With no confusion, trinity or preacher's vain?
Who says it every time (Every time)
And opens up the eyes of the blind?
Who will be the one in his bed?
Certainly not the one who put the thorns on his head
And wished him dead while they took his daily bread
Which one is of value 2 U? (2 U )
The one depletin' the oil supply
Or the one that renews it
And keeps the peace (Keep the peace)
Like the groove in Sade's "Sweetest Taboo"?
CHORUS:
Give it 2 me, give it 2 me
The Sweetest (the sweetest {first chorus only})
Give it 2 me, give it 2 me
Give it 2 me, give it 2 me
The Sweetest
Can I groove a little bit?
Let me groove a little bit
Who will be a guest in your tent? (Who dat...?)
Are U gonna be happy with how your life is spent?
Did U have open arms 4 each and everybody U met?
Did U let them die in the rain, (In the rain)
Endless war, poverty or hurricane?
It's time 4 another groove
Like Sade's "Sweetest Taboo"
CHORUS
Come on, come on
CHORUS
Oh, yeah
Turn it right down
Be cool, everybody
