Status Lyrics - I Phantom - Mr. Lif

I was mad dip 

Butterfly collars and shit 

Chains from the slave ship 

Dreads with the wave kit 

Bifocals and wing-tips 

Velvet pants and a velour coat 

Looked in the mirror 

"Damn I look dope" 

Folded up the singles in my loot-clip 

Put a sock in my pants on some Uncle Luke shit 

Dressed to impress 

Now I'm ready to go 

The club is twelve blocks away 

And I got no loot, so 

I walk ten and take a cab for two 

Black duct tape over the hole in my shoe 

I've got the hottest dance steps: 

Running Man, Cabbage Patch 

Plus the Robocop, then I bring back the Walk 

Jaws will drop, and all the ladies will flock 

Brothers thinking, "What he got that I ain't got" 

I'll tell ya fella, it's written in my best seller 

It started to rain, I got no umbrella 

The walking turned to running 

Still I look stunning 

Covered enough ground before my 

Taxi could summon 

Got to the spa and hopped out at the front 

Tripped over the curb, limping cuz my toes were stubbed 

Then I tried to give pounds to people I didn't know ("yo, what's up y'all!") 

At Lucy & Joe's, my destination was the back door 

Not because the bouncer told me not to come back 

I'm just sneaking in the club because I got it like that 

{Insight} 

I remember when you used to be broke 

Ignored when you spoke 

And people would take you for a joke 

You used to go to the club, and look like a scrub 

But couldn't afford the admission 

From outside you're looking in 

Waiting for a chance to slip by 

You slide through the back door 

But you wasn't supposed to be there 

You'd look like an idiot if you got caught, but you didn't care 

Just as long as you got your groove on 

It was smooth sailing, they was playing the Thong Song 

You're feeling shorty with the boots on 

Cutting through the crowd sideways, it's time to move strong 

To cool kick it, say something slick off the top 

Flash your jewels, fix your suit 

Fidgeting with your wristwatch 

But while you was in the corner acting the big shot.? 

They threw on some hip-hop 

People got on the dance floor 

And a bouncer saw you standing at the corner near the door ("Hey you!") 

He started walking your way, to muscle you out 

Since you refused to pay 

So there was nothing for you to say 

When he blew up your spot 

And threw you out the front to the floor 

("I told you not to come back here!") 

Past the bar on the right through the double doors 

You mumbled and swore, stumbled and tripped on the pavement 

("Goddamn.") 

People in line started laughing ("Haha!") 

When they threw you half-ass 

Screaming that you wasn't allowed back in 

But that was back then, acting like nothing happened 

You patted your Tims off, depressed from embarrassment 

It could have been fresh, it would have been lavish 

One day you'll make it and won't have to deal with this madness
