Hip Hop Excerpt: The Mask

This super-dee-duper verse comes from one of the greatest (male or female) lyricist of all time: Lauryn Hill. Oops, Ms. Hill. The flow is mad crazy too! To my ladies, if you ever been to a club just a few times in your life, the last two lines will connect with you on a totally different level! You should really check for the song. Don't you dare judge the crazy L-Boogie because she spit that stuff that turns a candle on!!!

I thought he was the wonder, and I was stunned by his lips,
Taking sips sipping Amaretto sour with a twist
Shook my hips to the bass line,
this joker grabbed my waistline,
Putting pressure on my spine
trying to get L-Boog to wind,
I backed up off him then caught him with five finger to his face,
I had to put him in his place,This kids invading my space,
But then I recognized the smile, but I couldn't place the style,
So many fronts in his mouth, I thought he was the Golden Child,
Then it hit me that's Tariq from off the street around Grams.
I haven't seen him since fifteen, when he got booked for doing scams.
I tried to walk away but he wouldn't let me leave,
He ran up quick behind me asking, "Yo what happened to my nigga Steve?"
Steve was like this kid I went with back in Grammar School.
I chuckled knucklehead, I seen him yesterday he's cool,
He's busted, "so who you checking for now?"Probably some intellectual.
I kept the conversation straight and he kept trying to make it sexual.
Then his old lady tried to play me waved her hands up in my face,
Yo I told her check your man cause b**** you acting out of place!!!
