Beat by DJ Sam Pull + DJ Drop D

lyrics

LYRICS:
she was a world map fiend, perfect imperfection
a renaissance woman, taught a bunch of lessons
she was a book, an herb, my speaker of truth
if she was liquor she would be 150 proof
she took me quick to back in the day to that oldschool
feeling of a sunny day, groovin to funk tunes
somethin like Parliament Funkadelic
she's my personal DJ, and i love what she's spinnin
see approachin her, was a difficult task
her presence was an experience that would hardly last
never enough! she was like a planet always on the move
never knew were loving her would lead me to
on a quest to express a little piece of linguistic expression
not trying to impress. No, no. just a word or two, a moment of her time
maybe an hour or three, if so she's inclined
to tell her that "mafi metla" (there's none like her)
and tell her that "heyeh aljamal" (she is beauty)
she's the reason the pirates took to questin the oceans
she's a lost city that's golden, for her im' runnin!

"When we speak of the word fragment, we know that we're talking about a piece, that has been broken away from something that was whole"
(Reverend F.L. Brown from Making It On Fractions - ABC/Peacock label 1974)

she got smarts like kings do decrees
she got a hold on me like Moses on the Red Sea
she's a rare wine from southern Spain
one sip of her and I could deal with any pain
physical or spiritual, she's like a magic drug
a delicacy sought after like Persian rugs
Van Gogh left her his ear, wanted to love her
she's the one McCartney and M.J. fought over
the look of love on Jimmy when he met his first Fender
so beautiful that reality could not render her eyes
Mona Lisa smiled at her with interest
cus her eyes distract god mid sentence
she's the smile an old man wears when he sees another day
the cosmic girl that abducted Jamiroquai
truthfully she's much like Bonnita Applebaum
I want her like the earth wants the sun
for her i'm runnin....

"When we speak of the word fragment, we know that we're talking about a piece, that has been broken away from something that was whole.
it's not the whole piece, but its only a fraction, from something that was whole"
(Reverend F.L. Brown from Making It On Fractions - ABC/Peacock label 1974)
