Testo Hit Me Where I Live - Teena Marie
Testo della canzone Hit Me Where I Live (Teena Marie), tratta dall'album La Dona
On the Venice rocks, yeah
Just me, the master, and my box
Blues in sounds, decibels high
I fly above this hood that wears me
Venice calling, baby
So you can shake it
So you can shake it
I know a guy, his name is Doug
He plays the bottom, cuts the rug
I love to hug that jitterbug
He swam around in circles 'til
He found the inside of my well
And now no secrets left to tell
He said, "Shame's what the people say, penny for your thoughts
She came from below, that's below the funk
She drive across town and she teach me how to give
She be in deep places and it hit me where I live"
Hit me where I live, I'll tell you something (Tell you something)
That I love my rhythm mixed up with my blues (Bop, bop, bop, bop)
Hit me where I live, I'm trying to tell you
That we're joined here at the hipper side like glue, ooh
Chocolate sister, name is Mick
So artistic with her tricks
She holds my notes, sings on my lips
Ruby's yardbird, we be fed
Collard greens and sweet cornbread
Let's hide the bruise under the bed
She said, "Shame's what the people say, penny for your thoughts
That's Brooklyn bubblegum, he bring the sauce
He came from Chi-town and he makes my sh— real good
He be in deep places and it hit me where it should"
Hit me where I live, I'll tell you something (Tell you something)
That I love my rhythm mixed up with my blues (Bop, bop, bop, bop)
Hit me where I live, I'm trying to tell you
That we're joined here at the hipper side like glue
Take me to the bridge (Yeah)
It's just over the ridge
If you don't, ain't that a bitch?
'Cause I need to scratch this itch
Now you choked up on this chron'
I ain't never been no punk
Just like two skunks in a trunk
Gonna drop you off and do some funk
Yeah
I'm sending this one out to Chocolate City
And all its vanilla suburbs
We do be working music all night long
We do be working
We do be working music all night long (We do)
So you can shake it
Hit me where I live, I'll tell you something (Tell you something)
That I love my rhythm mixed up with my blues (Bop, bop, bop, bop)
Hit me where I live, I'm trying to tell you
That we're joined here at the hipper side like glue, glue
"Shame's what the people say, penny for your thoughts"
I came from Venice, bathed down by the rocks
I been around the way, legend in my hood
I be in deep places and I know that it's all good
We do be working music all night long
We do be working
We do be working music all night long (Yeah)
So you can shake it
Yo, Mick, remember that time we went to see Tower of Power?
You had on that three-piece suit and
The sprinkles went across your face?
Girl, I loved you then, love you now
Big ups to you, you'll always be my boo
Flyest afro on the west side
