One For The Griot lyrics

Artist  : J-live 
Song : One For The Griot



 Send "One For The Griot" Ringtone to your Cell 

 
I like how, when you turn the intercom up



Like all that little background noise



When the beat comes in



That's real smooth man



Fuck studios, just happen to be here



Aight, whatever







[J-Live]







Yo,



He woke up in a daze, back achin'



Breath smellin' like liquor, dick smellin' like
sex



Head throbbin' like the bass from the club last
night



No idea how he left



Needless to say, perplexed



As he looked around the room that he never been
in



Candles all around the bed, sheets quite
feminine



Bucked naked with his kicks on



Breakaway jeans, drawers and sweater were all on
the bedroom floor



He heard singin' from the shower from the
bathroom door



Sounded like Melvin Moore but he couldn't be
sure



She had a sexy ass voice but she was so
off-key



Couldn't 'member how she looked, couldn't wait to
see



Hopin' that it was the girl, third floor of the
club



The one that let him grab her ass when they
twisted the dub



Or perhaps it was the dime from the guest list
line



Either one and several others would've suited him
fine



From the bed to the bathroom, a voice said
"come in"



Gradually now, he starts to remember



Peeped through the shower curtain, like bachelor
number three



Pleasantly surprised to see that it was the
bartender



And tender was the operative word



She had a body like a cello with legs, I mean,
the ass was absurd



Long neck, smooth skin, pretty face, kooky
nipples



Eyes wider than hips, full lips between
dimples



She said "how did you sleep?"



He said he didn't know



She asked "was it good for you too?"



"I think so, but I really can't remember
what went down last night"



She told him "take off your shoes, we can
replay the highlights"



Stepped out the shower in a daze, legs achin'



Breath short from the ???, dick wrapped in a
hat



Wide open cuz it was the last from a
twelve-pack



Spit four in the shower till his tire went
flat



She thought he was all that



She said "I don't have to work today



Take a little nap so we can do it again"



No sooner than she said it, keys jingled, door
slammed



He said "please baby, please don't let it be
your boyfriend



For the love of basketball, Mademoiselle, look



I ain't Biggie Smalls, I don't even want a story
to tell



I'm a lover, not a fighter, alright"



But then a girl walked in



Saw him naked and said "What the
hell?"



Time stood still as he thought to himself,



"This reminds me of a beer commercial back
in the day"



She's too young to be her mother, so he asked,



"How you doin'? Would you care to join
in?"



She said, "nigga is you crazy?



See this ring on my finger? That's my wife you
was fuckin'



My name ain't Ronald ???, don't try to play me
out"



She reached in her purse for the little pearl
handle



He splashed her in the face with the wax from the
candle



The 'tender ran back into the bathroom,
screamin'



Slipped on the condom wrapper, broke her pretty
little neck



The burnt-face wife pulled a gun on the dude



Famous last words: "I ain't mean you no
disrespect!"







[Talking]



Wow! That was crazy



Yo J, that was cool and all (uh huh)



But what's up with the violent ending, man?



Is it possible for it to end a little more
pleasant?







[Chorus]



What if the story woulda ended like this?



I'ma kick it again but only with a slight
twist



It goes one for the griot



Two for da gods



Three to flip the script, cuz it ain't that
hard



Check it out







Time stood still as he thought to himself,



"This reminds me of a beer commercial back
in the day"



She's too young to be her mother



"Would you care to join in?"



She was butt naked under her coat



He was amazed at the second wind kickin' in



Thinkin' 'bout the fact that he almost didn't go
to the club



Woulda been wack



If he missed out on the greatest love of his
life



Imagine if he stayed home with his wife



Cuz girl two,



Yo her body made the 'tender look like a fender
bender



The three of them together turned the bed to a
blender



He left like five hours later with a permanent
???



And feels he will ever remember







[Talking]



C'mon J,



There's no way my man got laid quite like that



It just don't happen



It's like a porno or somethin'



And what about his wife?



She didn't even say nothin'?



She didn't page him?







[Chorus]







Time stood still as he thought to himself,



"This reminds me of a beer commercial back
in the day"



She's too young to be her mother, so he
asked,"How you doin'?"



She said "Eww! It smells like somebody been
screwin'!



I hope it wasn't y'all"



Then she started laughin'



He said "What's so funny?"



She said "You don't know the half"



She was starin' at the joint with a fucked-up
smile



She said "I can come back if you gon' be
here for awhile



But between me and you, and my roommate too



What I'm 'bout to say might just be a little
snafu in your plans



She used to be a dude!" (Yeah, how's that
for a plot twist)



He asked the 'tender was it true



She said "Shit, I told you last night, my
man, I thought you knew"







[Talking]



Ewww, shit! (Hahaha)



For real? (Yeah, man)



Uh uh, man you're sick (Hahaha)



For real? You got dat homie, I'm out
