All I Ask.....

$1 not $2 tips at open bar
keep it that way
there's nothing wrong with partying
keeps the drinks going

who's that?
is that your girl? you with her
she looks like everyone else here

c'mon
they're not like me
(that's a shame)
baby they're not like me
and anyway you know it's not easy
just to come across a girl like jean
oh no


c'mon it's not like me
and anyway you know they're not like me (so what's up)
and baby you know it's not easy (uh huh)
just to come across a girl like jean
oh no (got a light y'all?)

pardon my composure
saw ya
had to approach ya, move closer
confidence or the courtesy of the mamosas framed perfect
like a picture with the sharpest image
from the lips of a cherub cherry red
henny breth
let me guess

queens is ur area
see jean can read by the lean
and the tilt of the cap in your drink, I'll be filling that
I need some good conversation
love
these hood rats be making up the game
plus they ain't even fully developed
insane

see if we could start a challenge
and balance most delicate matters
involving plans
including sitting in carriages
wait
too far
maybe we could shoot a little hoop
or just chill on my stoop
I don't like a lot of hoop-la

me and you sedude deuces and spike juices
and stove some backwards roll backwards
and keep it that good
so write your name
oldschool
pen on the back
there was a good time tomorrow
I don't stall
Holla Back

C'mon it's not like me
and anyway you know they're not like me (so what's up)
and baby you know it's not easy (uh huh)
just to come across a girl like jean
oh no (got a light y'all?)


You see I walk up different on em
Talk slang often
Bought dinner on dutch
while most women do the wallet clutch

Never ask the wrong question
Make jokes interestin
Wear more clothes and let their eyes do the undressin
A little sarcasm and tar
Argue about reasonable doubt and Illmatic
Car traffic iron
We can walk in summer laughing
Cry when they giggle
splitsizing and curse
the magic that's in between us boy

Jean a fiend for the love-feeling
we crush dreamin and after lush green
and a sun shinin and enough beach for a lifetime
or maybe that's just mine

poppin in at hathaway
wandering gay and rewind
play a little chess strip
see but nothing
I read a lot
beam you a little sixteen or something
I cook well
sip on drinks and just chill
a malt liquor and MOP
tell me what you feel

C'mon it's not like me
and anyway you know they're not like me (so what's up)
and baby you know it's not easy (uh huh)
just to come across a girl like jean
oh no (got a light y'all?)

See we could be for life even
for nights freed and heavy and steaming
from polite greetins to late at night face smashin
taste passion and race plays baggage
my faith placed back in maybe marriage
I hate slackers
Jean love the chillin
leg out, sometimes stick out

We'll find an open bar
I'm not impressed by payouts or starters
Play out your cards
We can splay out on the top of cars
And pick the constallations
While playing the Best of Debarge

Making me not agreein
Patience is all I'm needing
Face it, I'm not your average girl
Or close to it even
Most original and trance like a physical stance
I've got a lot
but we could chill

It's all I ask

Are You DOWN?

  "Not Like Me" from Jean Grae's   'This Week' album.
