|
[verse 1 - The Third Eye] |
|
For the first third |
|
I had to borrow three words from Stevie for the issue |
|
For what it's worth I'm calling this official |
|
To live and die for you is to live and die with you |
|
If what we got ain't superficial or artificial |
|
I feel at home with you if I share my dome with you |
|
Develop your mind to understand mine and grow with you |
|
It's hypothetical I have yet to meet you |
|
But all it takes is time well spent alone with you |
|
?? could move along to reach the 8th rank |
|
To resurrect with the grace of a queen she will receive and reflect |
|
Knowing just what I mean when I claim that I protect my useful land |
|
like the fearless grown man that I am |
|
With the plan to expand it's painstakin' |
|
Like feedin' food for thought and regulatin' mental bakin' |
|
Correcting each other when we're mistaken and debatin' |
|
Turns to arguing but other ?? leads to the best earthquakin' |
|
But still in all I needs no reminder |
|
that God will be the maker and owner but not the finder |
|
So in this wilderness I will reserve the Best Part |
|
For each queen I meet I make it known from the start |
|
When I tell ya like this..... |
|
(Chorus w/ same background scratching as the intro) |
|
"You can get the third; |
|
eye or the leg or the finger if deferred |
|
I know what's on ya mind so sis ya need to say the word |
|
Eye or the leg or finger if deferred |
|
Imma tell ya like this, you can get the third |
|
eye or the leg or the finger if deferred |
|
I know what's on ya mind so sis ya need to say the word |
|
Eye or the Leg or the Bird..." |
|
[verse 2 - The Third Leg] |
|
I set the speed in which you twist upon ya axis |
|
From changing ya thoughts to turnin' over on the mattress |
|
The fact is the culture that I practice |
|
prescribes me the father of the civil so most muthafuckas lack this |
|
More often than not the type of woman I attract is |
|
lookin' to discover just another piece of steel |
|
And you can test my heart ?? |
|
but see I can't be trapped by my magnetic field |
|
To bring it down to earth I'm talking bout your sex appeal |
|
You've got the good ?? and yes you know I know tha deal |
|
Not even too concerned on who's the last and next to feel |
|
cuz the sword that a weild sports a lubricated shield |
|
The only problem is you never take the time to build |
|
and then you've got the nerve to say I treat you like a freak?! |
|
I try to chill and conversate with you but ?? don't stop |
|
and that's my spot yo we hardly even speak |
|
So get to know the mind behind the dick that I'm slingin' |
|
Next time when I'm done yo try not to fall asleep |
|
But still in all I really can't complain about ya "brain" |
|
cuz you're the first on my mind when the time comes to creep |
|
That's why Imma tell ya like this.... |
|
(Chorus w/ scratch of "my dear my dear my dear you do not know me") |
|
"You can get the third; |
|
eye or the leg or the finger if deferred |
|
I know what's on ya mind so sis ya need to say the word |
|
Eye or the leg or finger if deferred |
|
Imma tell ya like this, you can get the third |
|
eye or the leg or the finger if deferred |
|
I know what's on ya mind so sis ya need to say the word |
|
Eye or the Leg or the Bird..." {*echoing*} |
|
[verse 3 - The Third Finger] |
|
I could've been chillin' with peeps |
|
I should've been spending more time relaxing asleep |
|
I woulda been pushin' up on girls like the first two |
|
but instead I was wasting time fuckin' with you! |
|
On some bottom line shit I know I played myself in retrospect |
|
Givin' you the respect of a top choice select |
|
On some "never again shit" I expect |
|
I chalk it up to trial and error but I can't say I'm over it yet |
|
Out of sight mind and body could've sworn you were the best of both worlds |
|
in my eyes yo, you had no flaws |
|
Then I learned it was to good to be true |
|
so now my two favorite records are "Wildflower" & "Truly Yours" |
|
I can't front though, you had me for a second |
|
I was caught up in your words overlookin' your ways |
|
Truth was seen but not heard you was lyin' for days |
|
just to find yourself lost in your own damn age |
|
Now my vision's clarified like Windex |
|
you get the peace sign without the index |
|
From ex to next--too complex? |
|
I'll translate: FUCK YOU |
|
clean bill of health still I wish I never stuck you |
|
Claim to be my Earth but you too trife |
|
more like Mercury you came close but too hot to sustain life |
|
So now ya cast out far out like Pluto |
|
three strikes through ?? but the choosen few |
|
So Imma tell ya like this.... |
|
(Chorus w/ scratch of "my dear my dear my dear you do not know me") |
|
"You can get the third; |
|
eye or the leg or the finger if deferred |
|
I know what's on ya mind so sis ya need to say the word |
|
Eye or the leg or finger if deferred |
|
Imma tell ya like this, you can get the third |
|
eye or the leg or the finger if deferred |
|
I know what's on ya mind so sis ya need to say the word |
|
Eye or the Leg or the Bird (*scratching of "Passin' Me By"*) |
