Stetsasonic - The odad

Say when mi was a youth mi have to stay with granny

And when mi out of hand she whipped mi fanny

Now some like it dry, I like it wet

And some of them like it anyway they can get

I'm the Odad that you can't forget

I'm the Odad that you can't forget

With di mic in mi hand, mi crew by mi side

Let's take a ride, I'll be your guide

Words start flowin like a lyrical tide

Girls start movin dem big backsides

Mi lay down mi law and you will abide

And if you're drunk, then you will be tried

Me pon di stand, mi can't be denied

Mi a-fi Ebony Chief, me a-fi bonafide

Now some like it dry it, I like it wet it

And some of dem like it anyway dem can get it

I'm the Odad that you can't forget

I'm the Odad that you can't forget

Say when mi at home always get mi wish

Mi wife cook a dish of planters and fish

Mi listen to di sound of di compact disc

And when mi have a stain wash it out with whisk

Mi voice a-fi clean, mi mic a-fi crisp

Mi motherland is what I miss

Dem youth round mi way mi always diss

Cause knuckleheads always get me pissed

Now some like it dry, I like it wet

And some of dem like it anyway dem can get

I'm the Odad that you can't forget

I'm the Odad that you can't forget



Ease this selection

Under close inspection

This one in a Stet perfection



O to y-double d-a-D

Yes it's me dem call Ebony

[Name] mi long to see

And I'm down with S-t-e-t

Mi brethren, the R.O.D.

Don't forget the DBC

Fruitkwan and the Mix Machine

And Prince Paul, him cut real clean

Mi Daddy-O and him a rhymin fiend

And I'm here pon di scene

Him doesn't like gamblin and go ramblin

Him a-fi toured from Miami to Camden

And in a New York town dem be jammin

And when him rhyme to the beat him be slammin



Bo! Bo!
