Album: Carmen (MTV's Hip Hopera)

Black And Blue [Mos Def, Mekhi Phifer]

[Mos Def]

Hey, you don't like me

That's alright I like me

I got something to say to you

I see you standing on the side

With your smile and your crooked eyes

Actin' like a man

But a chick frontin' in disguise

Pokin' on some thicker thighs

Smokin' on a blunt of lies

Tradin' in they badge

For a sash sayin' "SUCKER, HI!"

Lookin' at her son now

Probably make a mother cry

Should've listen to that song

Telling you to walk on by

But you didn't, now your washed up

Like a cup of Tide

Let me know I got the heat

When you think it's time to dry

[Mekhi]

Who you think you talkin' bout?

Mistaking me for some other guy

Need to buy a watch

Cause ain't no shorty gonna give the time

Day or night, birthdays, Kwaanzas or Valentines

Big talk, really small

But you ain't a friend of mine

You ain't even genuine

Sweeter that a cin-a-bun

[Mos Def (Mekhi)]

But with five fingers in a fist

I'm deadly as the Pentagon

YOU DON'T WANT BEEF WITH MILLER

CAUSE I'M ILLA

(Or you because you bout as criminal as killa)

Ooh ha, I see you slick with the words now

Gash cause you got a chick with curves now

Calm your nerves down

You was locked, Carmen Brown

Jaws had hers now, scored on the first down

Yeah so get your keys out your purse now

Run to your car 'fore you laying in a hearse clown

(How you sound, yo you dirtier than jurors now)

(Extortin all that money thought you'd have a couple furs now)

Huh, watch your speed

I ain't one to play around

You got your heads in the clouds now

I'm 'bout to bring you to the ground

There's something that you need to know

(They got you on video?)

SIKE, but your girl Carmen Brown is a silly ho
