Play With Bootsy

0

Yeah, this one go out to me posse inna Berlin City!
Seeed ya !
But me need someone to help me to do this
So I a call Bootzilla!
Oh yeah Bootzilla here along with Eased (ya mon!)
Yo E? (Bootsy?) I think we better plant the Seed
Cause a mind is a terrible thing to bleed baby!

A life for da sweet thing
To live a life for da sweet thing (Say what?)
A life for da sweet ting
To live a life for da sweet thing

If you dedicate your life to da sweet thing(sweet)
Pick de apple when it´s ripe but then eat it
And when you eat you can be sure
That the time that you´ve endured
Made the sweetness more than pure
And your joy can be assured -
Even more
A Life for da sweet thing
A picture at it´s fullest resolution
Seduction in it's highest celebration
Perfection oh what an errection (oooh watch out baby!)

A life for da sweet thing
To live a life for da sweet thing
A life for da sweet thing
To live a life for da sweet thing

Perfection is a thing you´ll always seek but never find
Me say for sure
Mi tell you this for sure (now think about it)
To accept this is the only way to keep your peace of mind
You better know and you'll see more

Watch out and take your time
Cause the seek can make you blind for the things you could find
All around left and right some of the things you´ve left behind
It´s up to you but my brother better clear it up your mind
And time don´t forget - you´re running outta time

The higher the level the bigger the devil baby (time is up)
Magnetic levitation running wild all across the nation, baby
But dig (now think about it)
Who's gonna carry the load
If all those little cares (kid´s??) explode? Ask bootsy
Now who's gonna carry the cross
When everybody run around lost, baby?

Hit me

A life for da sweet thing (Sweet)
To live a life for da sweet thing
A life for da sweet ting (Yeah)

Open your eyes in the dark
Take a deep breath after that
Open your ears and hear a smell that you can feel
Only you can prevent forest fires, baby (Ask bootsy)

Open your eyes inna dat
Take a deep breath offa dat
Open your ears and hear a smell that you can feel

Open your eyes inna dat
Take a deep breath offa dat
Open your ears and hear a smell that you can feel

Open your eyes inna dat
Take a deep breath offa dat
Open your ears and hear a smell that you can feel

A taste of this a taste of that
Next thing you know I don't know where I'm at

A taste of this a taste of that
The next thing you know I don't know where I'm at

A taste of this a taste of that
The next thing you know I don't know where I'm at

Ah, where am I baby and why am I smokin'?
(Did I do that!)

Bombaclot, you standin right in the middle of a mindfield!
(Get ready to explode)
