The Party

Verse One
I didn’t have no money
But my friend called me and he told me bout’ a party
Whose going? He told me everybody
So I put on my Pierre Cardin cardy
I gave a quick call to Charlene
But her sister picked up told me that she’s busy sorry
I made my way to the party
Nuff’ people inside we packed like sardines
They playing Talib Kweli
They played Bob Marley and even Gnarles Barkley
Now they playing “Ladi Dadi”
We don’t cause trouble we don’t bother nobody
Bre’s’ acting like they just joined the army
I spotted three girls sitting in the corner calmly
All dressed up like Barbie
The middle one was Asian and she had a nice body
Sipping lime and Bacardi
I’m looking in her eyes they’re saying “charm me, charm me”
So I said “pardon me
I love the way you smile girl you’re sweet like honey”
Her friend said “don’t waste your time honey
She doesn’t speak English only speaks Guajarati”
“don’t she understand a word I say?” “Hardly
Plus she got a boyfriend and he’s over by the bar see
Now there’s no need to worry
But the is a boxer kinda’ like Muhammad Ali”
“you taking me for Laurel and Hardy
What’s the worst he can do? Feather and tar me?”
I don’t really gotta leave in a hurry
But I just step even though it’s kinda funny
Now I’m on my solitaire
Brock’ pocket acting like a millionaire
Searching for my friend but don’t see him anywhere
Probably went out to get fresh air
So I pulled up a chair
And kicked back like the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Feeling kinda’ fly in the clothes that I wear
Had some fresh Nike–Air and my Pierre Cardin
I get recognised by a bre’
Trying to talk to me on some reh teh teh’
He was kinda’ boring me like Tony Blair, Blair, Blair
So I listened to him then I told him “yeah, yeah, yeah”
Am I bothered? Do I care?
Looked at the time and the time was weird
It said 14:20 oh my watch ain't repaired
Then I felt like a beer
Double check my pocket but there ain't’ no money there
It only made me more aware
I need to work harder just to have a better year
Cos life ain't’ easy when you’re broke man I swear
