Strange Behaviour Lyrics

I can't quite remember the month nor date
Nothing was gwan and I was jammin' round my gate
Started feenin'for a Dragon but had no cash
I had no choice, the piggy-bank got trashed

It was me and my bold self with five bags of coppers
Splashed out on the counter at PJ Patel's
He's far from happy with my method of pay
I shrug my shoulders, I'm like what can you say?

It's money, ain't it? I ain't begging you jack
And mood I'm in, I might just give you a slap
I grip my Dragons and I leave in peace
As I stepped through the door he heard the kiss of my teeth

Minding my own business, rolling down the street
I swear I heard a female voice call my name
I stopped for a second, Lawd! It's Charmaine
Some sis I used to park with from way back when
We weren't on no bone tip, just real good friends

We on some hug up and kiss, boy she looking neat
Head to toe in new garms and two new gold teeth
I said, "What you want?" And she says, "This and that"
"Well, come around my yard and let's crack this six-pack"

Back at my yard we heavy chilling, killing time
Exchanging views and getting thoughts off the mind
For three whole hours everything was cool
Around quarter to twelve they took the strangest twist

I'm looking in her face, I swear it looks off
She's sweating like she dipping in some horse's trough
Then she flips out, screaming quick, I hit a last
Trying to kick this brown but it's busting my arse

Seems like the planet gone mad
What you staring in my face for?
I told you dudes, I can't save ya
What the frigg is with this strange behavior?
Strange behavior

Charmaine the headstrong, proud Miss Missy
Fell for the local fluff dealer, she were living the high life
Sitting in the luxury's lap
Little did she know she were braving a trap

Cause the thug that she loved was a two-bit thug
The notes that she speed with were dripping blood
She were mesmerized by the rude boy charm
Two years had passed, she thought she's safe from harm

But the past has strange way of rearing its head
Just when she think it were dusted and dead
It's like petrol bombs come flying through the window
Cause there's a ten grand price on his life

Ready to be cashed when his heartbeat ceases
All that he tried, he can't get no peace
Cause he's running from the beast, running from the crims
After all's said and done it's the beast that wins

Whylin on borrowed time, soon to get nabbed
Two keys of fluff that he just did grab
When her man got nicked, Lord knows she couldn't cope
Started hitting the bottle, started tying the rope

Now she's trapped in the chains of the oldest trade
Flashing her vag' in my face and I'm far from keen
I don't got business with no drugsman's queen
Nahmean?

Seems like the planet gone mad
What you staring in my face for?
I told you dudes, I can't save ya
What the frigg is with this strange behavior?
Strange behavior

Seems like the planet gone mad
What you staring in my face for?
I told you dudes, I can't save ya
What the frigg is with this strange behavior?
Strange behavior

Seems like the planet gone mad
What you staring in my face for?
I told you dudes, I can't save ya
What the frigg is with this strange behavior?
Strange behavior

What the frigg is with this strange behaviour?
