| Lyrics | [Verse 1: Ozi Batla] Woke with a heavy head from last night's revelry Trippin' momentarily off what I said, was that me? Now lets see; shit, shower, and shave Stave off hunger pains, explain to the guys toast for lunch again Nah not today, I just got paid So I'm walking up the corner store as if I got it made Hey, what can I say? it was a lovely day Just a shame that some cats don't let their love display So anyway I'm in the store and I'm grabbin' bits and pieces This girl down by the door is giving me a look that says 'freeze kid' Thought 'Jesus, is this lady sales or security?' Scrutiny is new to me in my community I said 'excuse me uh what does this cost?' She decided staring at me like I'm totally lost What? did everybody stop speaking while I was sleepin' Or do my words appear to her like bubbles from the deep end? In that case I'm freaking out, without a doubt But I don't really think that is what we're talking about I had a similar situation down at the train station Peak hour carriage hard enough to stay patient This screw face is using his suitcase to nudge me But I didn't budge see cause he ain't above me Said nothing when I told him that he pissed me off I lock my feet beneath the seat and so he missed his stop [Chorus: Ozi Batla] When you're asking how you doing and not just the price Could it do with being human? ("and it ain't nuthin' nice") Man it's really damn hard to say hello twice Could it do with being human? ("and it ain't nuthin' nice") When your pizzeria givin' you beef with each slice Could it do with being human? ("and it ain't nuthin' nice") Na na na it ain't nothing nice, no way ("and it ain't nuthin' nice") [Verse 2: Ozi Batla] So I got off and I'm walking to the club, Feelin its all love I got a pocket full of rhymes, and a few new dubs That I am oh so keen to bust and I'm dusted But trust the bouncer to do his job with so much gusto "Sir, you intoxicated?" "What? You know my face kid, I could sleep for five days and I'd still look Wasted" He said, "No way." So I called my friend Who said "there's a fight inside!" And I walked right in So we're getting to the end of the night, Been all right Dance floor live as a riot, And not one mic fight Until this kid who's having trouble sittin' says 'Can I spit in?' I said "man unless you mean Tobacco I'd say your kidding" And next thing you know we're telling anyone who'd listen That he was a mad fan and then I stepped up and dissed him What? Tonight my stars are out of line I can't stay No cab to pick me up so I'll walk the whole way You might also like[Chorus: Ozi Batla] When you're asking how you doing and not just the price Could it do with being human? ("and it ain't nuthin' nice") Man it's really damn hard to say hello twice Could it do with being human? ("and it ain't nuthin' nice") When your pizzeria givin' you beef with each slice Could it do with being human? ("and it ain't nuthin' nice") Na na na it ain't nothing nice, no way ("and it ain't nuthin' nice") [Scratches: Chasm] "Jalick, Jalick ya wind up ya hip" |
