lyrics

At the core of it, we're thinking of an applenum
we mac pro on any bonita macintosh
this that guy called best, don’t get it wrong
put me on like those jeans of yours or your favourite song
when those days are long and all you do is daze along
while your playlists and your make-up are fading off
itunes into you and you give me pause
do it off the record, then recline and rewind it all
do i mind it? naw, honest the reason
yuh, i’m done shuffling, i’d rather repeat one
get with the program and update you now
cuz casual OSX softwares me out
full of punchlines, but really it’s serious
looking for an answer, wish i could siri us
they hardly use their pads, on the real
like some thick old models has em spinning their wheels

perusin’ YouTube tryna find some new...boobs?
don’t need no B.S., i think i mean a new ‘boo’
tradin’ in my Fubu for whatever dudes do
to get a nice steal like records up at Zulu
thinkin’ that some new shoes improve my game
like, should i buy new Jordans? ladies love cool J’s...don’t they?
the image of me today
is stupid singin’ ‘bout women like B2K
so if this love’s a game, these players would know
we’re endin’ up board, we’re messin’ with x’s for oh’s
We get more down, a pass for the next goal
we hail Mary’s but we end up in the friend zone
she said so, i’m playing it dead wrong
now i gotta reboot, need Andraia to my Enzo
now did you get the memo in the innuendo?
i’m a nice fine fellow and just lookin’ to mellow, so hello

but past the hormones and all of the corny poems
i'm on the floor alone listening to Norah Jones
girl i couldn't pick up, our connection’s broken so
all my lines were twisted way more than a corded phone
in a dorky tone, no cojones, hoping no
shoes, no shirt, i’m at your service, check ya open clothes
hopeless - i'm calling singles with my Solo phone
runnin’ after women with my English, call that Lolo Jones
jones on the track, thinkin’ bout marryin’
one photogenic as Jones, so duh/soda i'm picturing
to drink her in thinkin’ that the prob with it is
there's no magic, if she thinks i'm just looking for tricks
so i’m singing Me and Mrs. Jones low into my bedroom wall
got a jones for you, mighty gone ‘til the break of dawn
a daft punk, no odds getting a lucky doll
that dating game's bingo, there's some numbers that are never called

then i'm goin’ Crazy playing K-Ci & JoJo songs
like if fly chicks fly away i'm supposed to yell "YO-YO" 'til she's in my palm
like i ain't a man if i ain't backstage at the pro-bono show
After raisin’ the roofie, rockin' mad logos, holdin' a Solo, with Jo Jo pouncin' on my PoGo bone
singin’ "Started from her bottom!" while yelling YOLO
gettin’ brains thinking she's a dodo
and gettin’ frisky risking the Maury show
oh no
I think I found my Carmen San Diego
