"I was talking-, I was talking to a cat the other night"
He said, "Why everybody is looking for this?
What everybody's lookin' for today?"
"They're looking for escapism"
(Ha, ha)
"Ain't it good to you? (Yeah)
You know what? I love to get down, Jack (yeah)
And when I get down, you understand?
I don't have to go into no funny bag
Say, ah, I do this, I mean, say what I want, man, I can
Do you understand? That's the way I feel
You know, I feel like you're done right about here (right on)
Byrd, if I get down, hey, you know
Byrdy, Byrdy (man, Byrd's gotta-)
Byrdy gotta-, Byrdy gotta-, I mean, Byrdy's got an out of sight tune comin' up
We gotta record Byrd right here, you know (yeah)
So we're trying to get our thing out of the way before Byrd can get into it"
"Byrd, can we get down before we-? (Yeah) is it all right? (Yeah)
Byrd, do you think it's gon' be a hit, Byrd, you good? (Oh yes, it's gonna be a hit)
Is it, you think it's gonna be a hit? (Yeah)
Well, I know it's a smash, I know it's a smash
'Cause you're in the bag, man, you're saying where it's at
You know, it's gotta be a hit (yeah)
You ready, Byrd? (Yes, sir)
Get down"
"Huh, ain't it good to you?" (Yeah)
(Yeah, ha-ha-ha, yeah, that's a hit)
"Ain't it good to you?" (Yeah) (huh-huh, yeah)
"Ain't it good to you?" ("Yeah, I got somethin' too about that, yeah")
Ha-ha-ha-ha, huh (yeah, yeah)
"Look at here, what you say, Fred?"
("Man, you know, we better take it on the lam")
"You better watch the man
I don't think they heard, what you say, Fred?"
("I said, we better take it on the lam, right here") huh
"You better watch the man"
"Byrd (yeah), come over here, brother, let me tell you somethin'
You think we're talking too loud? (Hush, that fuss)
Huh, I ain't got no dust, huh
I don't have to take it on the lam"
("Better watch that man") ten
Huh? ("Better watch that man")
"Watch him, yeah, all right, you're right, yeah, yeah
Coming from some funny places, what you say, bro?"
("What's happening, Brown?")
"Huh, trying to get down" (yeah, yeah, yeah, ha-ha, yeah)
"Well, you know, look here
We can't help it" ("that's right, right on, yeah")
"Ain't no alcohol, man, I don't dig it" (ha-ha)
"What you say, uh, Jasaan?"
("Say, don't be so mean")
"You know I'm clean now" (yeah) (and on the scene)
"Excuse me, cap', while I rap"
