Foolin Lyrics

    Who you foolin.. only foolin (2x)

    [dove]
    Yo, i stay cousin to this, introducing mr. dave banner
    Scannin proper with my sight muscle
    This rap shit, is just my night hustle
    My j-o's to stay fearin of my g-o-d
    Whether what may, meet me at the front door
    See the pressure got a nigga knockin shit off his desk
    Cause of the stress i stack words make cats bruise they neck tissue
    Stay pertinent to the issues
    Cut your tag too close, display these verses tight, virtuals
    Sort of like we supposed to, pantyhose raps you run
    Stay (?) like black folks some (?)
    Mostly fakin it, to make it

    [pos]
    I play low-key til it's time for you to know me
    Stir my lime with light, drink it down slowly
    Holy shit! now look what i get
    A whole string of party people wanna run in my mix
    In my world they wanna fit like melanin in a tit
    Jam tight, they ain't my fam alright? they ain't my people
    Them niggaz screamin fam til they rank measure equal
    Then vote, without leavin a note, and that was all she wrote
    Arranged produced my slang's obtuse
    But some distort, tellin stories like mother-the-goose
    My true fam's (??) back since with vince mason
    We'll draw on three, leave that body for the tracin
    Ultimate high, like them drugs you be lacin
    Coulda stood next to me, at the top of the key
    But you had to play gutter, didn't want to climb
    Now you find yourself talked about in my rhyme

    [dove]
    While you fools claim corners, we gon' claim theories
    Y'all some stickball niggaz, we the world series
    Been here, just pleadin the same case
    Ever since we spaced about "3 feet"
    Pinchin your ears, inchin for years
    But you still stuck at the mezzanine and
    We at the penthouse level with the same old rugs
    Same old tubs, same old tables and same faults
    Same crew and the same old train of thought

    Chorus: de la soul

    My guess you need to head west (who you foolin)
    Thought we'd fall for your phonyness you're (only foolin)
    Yourself, thought you were down - it takes more than a smile
    And a couple of pounds to be crew
    Man you bound to get your tail caught (who you foolin)
    Spreadin yourself thin see you're (only foolin)
    Yourself, thinkin all you need is the wealth
    You need to peep your whole circle out

    [pos]
    Yo, since jam master jay been rockin without a band
    And that sister k.d. lang been sexin without a man
    We brought our ultimate plan to birth
    Put in work for this game, it's not a game to me
    We've been furnished the props
    Now we out to furnish properties we own
    That's right (so) cats might know we ain't home
    My throne's threatened by fiends, try to do dirt
    Play tony randall - have that ass cleaned

    [dove]
    Unveiled i see your exhibition, y'all need to cover that
    Fatherless styles, y'all really need to mother that
    Same expose, different page
    But when you see me in it it's the same old dave

    [pos]
    Y'all silly, you're just a civili', i'm a soldier
    Troopin in this path til the death won us over
    So if life is a party begin, to understand
    Just like the dj, we stayin to the end

    Chorus: de la soul

    How you think you gon' get away? (who you foolin)
    Changin faces on the regular you're (only foolin)
    Yourself, big top status, paintin your face
    Who you think you really gonna fool huh?
    We watch, what we got so (who you foolin)
    Around on my premises you're (only foolin)
    You, into thinkin you can break in too
    My place, and not have to face, our position

    Who you foolin.. only foolin
