Big Daddy Kane - Vapors lyrics

[Verse 1] Can you feel it, nothing can save ya For this is the season of catching the vapors And since I got time, what I'm gonna do Is tell you how it's spreading throughout my crew Well you all know Nate Dogg, who sings on my records "Never Leave Me Alone", "Ain't No Fun", now check it Back in the days before Nate Dogg began He used to try to holler at this girl named Pam The type of female with fly Gucci gear She wore a big turkish ??? with a weave in her hair When they tried to kick it, she'd always fess Talking about, "Baby please, you out here serving stress" Since he wasn't no type of big chronic dealer The homie Nate Dogg didn't appeal to her But now he wear boots that match with his suits And push a Lexus Coupe that's extra cheap And now she stopped fronting and wants to speak and Be coming round the Pound every single weekend To get his beeper number she be begging please Dying for the day to eat these [Hook] She caught the vapors (Repeat x2) [Verse 2] I got a little cousin that's kinda plain He bring the heat with the beat for the Dogg Pound gang A mellow type of fellow that's laid back But back in the days he wasn't nothing like that I remember when he used to scrap every day When my auntie would tell him he would never obey He wore his khakis hanging down with his starks untied And a blue and grey cap that said the Eastside Around my neighborhood the people treated him bad They said Daz was the worst thing his mom ever had They said he would grow up to be nothing but a gangster Or either in jail, or someone would shank him But now he's grown up to their surprise D-A-Z got a hit record slanging worldwide Now the same people that didn't like him as a child Bumping Dogg Food, Doggfather, and Doggystyle [Hook] They caught the vapors (Repeat x2) [Verse 3] I got another homie from tha L-B-C Known to y'all as DJ Warren G He cut, scratch, transforms with finesse {scratching} and all that mess I remember when we first started to rock He tried to get this job at Calvin's Record Shop He was in it to win it, but the boss fronted Said "Sorry Warren G but there's no help wanted" Now my homie Warren still tried On and on and on til the like break of dawn To work at tha V-I-P would be the lick But they looked right past him so my homie straight dipped Now for the year after Regulate Warren G is having papers so my homie's like straight He walked into the same record shop as before And the boss be like "Warren, welcome to my store" Offering him a job, but nah he don't want it Damn it feels good to see people up on it Cause I remember when at first they wasn't Now guess what they caught since he busting The vapors [Hook] They caught the vapors (Repeat x2) [Verse 4] Last subject of the story is about Snoop Dogg I had to work for mine to show I was a true hog When I was a teenager I tried to be down But since they wasn't trying to hear me I made the Dogg Pound I saw a crew on 2-1 street and said, "Can I be down champ?" They said no, and treated me like a wet food stamp After getting rejected, I ain't run off the set I sat and wrote some Dogg doo-doo rhymes at my rest When I used to go to parties, they'd make me wait Would have to beg to get on the mic to set MCs straight I ain't never love no hoes I was just into my music They acted like I wanted to keep on hanging with the juzi But now things switched from West to East "Yo dog do you remember me from 21st Street, G? We used to see Daz back in the day" It happens all the time, so brother don't be amazed [Hook] You caught the vapors (Repeat x2)
