Now the time flew by and it was soon July And the days grew funky and hot Now me and Spoon, we played it cool and I taught him how to shoot pool Til he could soon shoot three in one shot I kept him under wraps 'til he had mastered craps And could deal a winning hand We would practice all day then at night we would play Poker, (?), and (?) Soon Spoon got good at his own new livelihood And now we were ready to deal There was money to be made in this hustler's trade And soon it would be for real We gave (?) a ring the day before the thing And let him know that we'd be there But it was early in the morning, cousin Grit was still yawning And all he could say was yaaaaahhh Me and my man Spoon, we went shopping at noon To cop us some fronts for the set
We needed some vines that would blow their minds Plus give us all the finess we could get We went to a tailor named Wong, who sold soap from Hong Kong And could sew a suit on your back I copped me a four bu*ton robe, (?) Then we split in our (?) Cadillac We went to Baby Blues to cop our shoes Some comforts for toes and kings Blue smuggles and ships and mix overseas trips While hustling big company lames We rapped for a while, then left Blue's in style Sporting our brand new kicks Went to a hatter named Max, and copped some straw diamond blocks The split 'bout a quarter to six We winded and dined and prepared our minds For the task that lay ahead Jumped super clean and split to the scene Smoking Panamanian Red
