One Not Two

Left a note taped to the fridge
I'm staying with Josie
Should have slowed before the bend
But instead we took it coasting
Think you know just what I mean
Tho so far it's been unspoken
Lets take a little time
To get around the roaches
One not two
I'm not fine
Talk it through
Take your time
Took the dog out for a walk
Bumped in to Mrs Bacon
She asked me about how you were
It was an awkward conversation
Now I know what people mean
When they say it's no solution
Not broken up but in between
I need a resolution
One not two
I'm not fine
Talk it through
Take your time
Lost my lighter, lost my keys
It might as well be Monday
Used to tell you all these things
Now I save 'em up for some day, one day,
Maybe, who knows..
One not two...

Don't Ditch Me Dean

Don't ditch me Dean,
Been bathing babies since the age of 16
You think you're ready for a lady more lean
But you ain't ready
Don't ditch me Dean
I may be grey but my valley is green
May not be limber as a string bean
But I got moves like them bitches ain't seen
Don't ditch me Dean
I won't be flavoured in collagen spice
You look to upgrade but that ain't right
And Papa you know you can't last the night
Papa, tell me what you're thinking
I'll be your Hillary Clinton
Your Etta over Beyonce
I do it better in my own way
Don't ditch me Dean!

The Man From Amsterdam
04:18

He was a lonely man
Moved out from Amsterdam
Nobody paid him mind
A skipped over storyline
Tongues let their gossip loose
But i wouldn't know what true
He was a lonely man
Taking my own advice
I walked with him once or twice
He learned then forgot my name
Asleep on the 7 train
And everyone knew the truth
That I was in love with you
He was a lonely man
Come out from Amsterdam
Shopped at the salad bar
For almonds and caviar
He was the man from Amsterdam
An open day waiting for someone
Hang around, hang around
The lonely child knows where it comes from
Run along, run along
He was a lonely man
Shipped to New Amsterdam
Nobody knew his name
A bird in a hurricane
Coming around the block
I'd like to take a walk with you
Left work and took a ride
Down to the riverside
We cheered when Obama won
And everyone had so much fun except
The man from Amsterdam

Scarlet & the Impala
03:08

Hit by an Impala
Racing down Fifth Avenue
Was my neighbour Scarlet
While walking her Tzitsu
She was on her way to buy a monkey wrench
We live up in Harlem
And ever since last April
Scarlet has been arguing
With our landlord Nathan
She thought that he tried to charge her too much rent
Keen as mustard,
Scarlet was rash
She would have been busted
For not covering her tracks
And everyone knew the beef between these two and it
wouldn't be a slow react
That morning in the street I'd
Seen my neighbour Scarlet
She told me a secret
Said I had to guard it
Then she asked me for the nearest Home Depot
Scarlet planned to wait till
Nathan was at church then
Gather up his suits and
Roll them in the dirt then
Try and put them back before he returned
She was a little crazy this I learned
Fate rolled the dice or to be more precise
A two door Impala then took Scarlet's life
And ended the feud and no suits were filed
Or defiled, I guess...
