Sipping Muddy Water
We down here in Chi Town tonight
that’s right, we undercover, in plain sight
because we cain’t find a lover, that’s right
one’ll give us enough of how we please
ones who knows how we bees
Been searching churches, Trailways coaches
back alley bars, bus stops, parked cars
Got the green and gold threads
the dreads hanging out’n our heads
gold chains, sweet come-on lines
we strolling, extolling our plight
looking to find someone insane enough
someone to put up with us
But there ain’t nothing shaking
’Cause some say we been sipping muddy water
sipping muddy water more than we ought to
Say we darker within than outside
got no pride, we empty inside
So, we looking to hook up, dance you up
drink you up, anything you can think up
talk to your momma, do anything you wanna
to make you like us, so don’t deny us
But, see, we be been sipping muddy water
dealing chemical feelings more than we ought to
Get a real job? No, we spank crank and blow
can’t get with the plan, you know
don’t need no fine crib, one point two kids
Can’t do no good in the World, like working for the man, understand
the street’s just fine; it’s where you find us
We doing what we can, to find a nice girl to share
we really care, we really do, Mr. Magoo
listen up, take this number
beeper us, we ain’t so droll, give us a call
that’s all we asking
Gotta go, make some scratch, check some (natch)
call us if you find one with class, one with lots of brass
We be cruising around in downtown Chi Town
sipping muddy water more than we ought to
