Catch That On The Corner Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, baby
Am I glad to see you
Catch that out on the corner
She passes where a moment ago
She probably thought and went
Somethin' cool, maybe green
Do you see her?
Rap to me

[Verse 2]
Come on baby, what you see?
The light don't change fast, you know?
Start from the top, go to the toe
Natural a comb, or coc-a-line?
What's on the corner?
Come on baby, rap to me

[Verse 3]
She's young, right?
I can tell, she ugly?
Don't matter a damn to me I guess
Just curiosity
Come on baby, what you see?

[Verse 4]
Boy, she's a might thing
Offered a pencil once and chewin' gun
Should have heard a "no thank you"
Low and warm like ala-keser
Molasses to a country boy like you
Come on baby, rap to me

[Verse 5]
Are you hip to what you see on the corner?
That's the bitch of my dreams, Jim
And you know what I'm gonna do?
Perfume's my jane, too
And she lays it on
I'm gon' make my move, in a day or two
My picture pellin' days are almost through
Now that I got almost got that diploma
Now I almost got that job downtown in dog
That good old fake job downtown
This ivory cane has it's advatages too
Like I say, I'll make my move in a day or two

[Verse 6]
She drinks beer during the week
She's alone, dig, a-lonely
Drinks gin on Saturday and Sunday
Never heard her stagger, though
What's on the corner, Jim
Come on baby, rap to me

[Verse 7]
To the neck is where she hangs around
Probably up at o'Ree's
Hear about got a new owner
We'll go dancin' and everything
Utis Boy been showin' me
Come on baby, what you see?

[Verse 8]
He could buy the slim jim
Don't know why I waited so long
Yeah, waited so long
Utis Boy says I'm a natural
What's on the corner?
Come on baby, rap to me

[Verse 9]
Speak up a minute or something'
What's he wearin', dress or skirt?
Pants? Must be a style
But I'll stop all that wind
She's my woman

[Verse 10]
Come on baby, rap to me
Tall, short, fat, skinny
Rap to me
You got lockjaw or somethin'?
The cat got your toungue or somethin'?
Give me all the details
Come on baby, rap to me

[Verse 11]
Ain't but one detail
What's that supposed to mean?
You some new kind of comic or somethin'?
What's that got to supposed to mean?
Come on junebug, you supposed to be my friend
Remember when the shit hit the fan?
And the man wanna know which way you ran?
And questioned me that I couldn't see
I stood by you, junebug
Come on baby, stand by me
Come on baby, don't play
Be my eyes for me, take this away
Quit kettin', junebug
I'm swearin' to god it ain't funny
Baby, come on in
You have to be blind as me
Rap brother, rap
What you see standin' out on the corner
Speak up or somethin'
Come on baby, rap to me
Come on baby, rap to me
Come on baby, rap to me
