Pharrell Williams - Maybe (Remix) lyrics
[Intro: Maybe {original} bridge plays fast; "Hold it now" scratches] [Beat changes to Maybe {Remix}] [Pharrell talking] This for all the...all the connoisseurs of fine rhyme you know? I dug deep in the cellars of my mind for this I love y'all n***as I just wanna air some things out Dear hip-hop, ya know? Dear hip-hop Dear hip-hop [Verse 1] I got a cult following, N.E.R.D. is far from pop G No radio, light spins since the video drop see I'm the tourbillon of this sh**, like Mozart and Bach be I'm-ma show you n***as what time it is, n***as watch me My falsetto's been hot, like the Sopranos five seasons Alto beats, Grindin' soundin' like Frontin', n***as is reachin' I pimped across that stage n***a tipsy off that reason Snatched that Grammy, when I joke I call it the G-Thing Ask Robin Leach. How many V-somthins up in my fortress Like Russel Crowe in Gladiator, so many f**ing horses Porsches, Maranello that's white, I call it Ghost Phantom named Nightmare, black scares people the most I introduce BAPE to the world, 400 n***a out fast Favorite group White Stripes, R. Kelly, Kanye, and OutKast A R&B producer, I was sittin on the shelf A Ralph Laurenic nerd then Noreaga gave me helpp But my samples wouldn't clear, and I couldn't roc-a-wear And I didn't have pimp cups, and dancin wasn't my gig But shoulder brushin, blazers, and trucker hats I did And the only n***as I ain't work with was 2Pac and B.I.G Ha ha [Hook] You and me BAPE, Ice Cream and BBC (yup) Just because we skate down the road (n***as) Don't mean we can't slam Phantom doors (b**hes) You and me BAPE, Ice Cream and BBC Just because we skate down the road (love y'all man) Don't mean we can't slam Phantom doors (you have no idea) [Verse 2] Now er'body keep asking me about Kelis She's dope with or without me til I die thats what I speak I never run to the tabloids and run around here grinnin' I'm a peaceful, Rolls Royce drivin' black John Lennon Psychedelic beats, medals on my soldier jacket f**in the baddest b**hes in fashion, n***as can you imagine? Ma, why you even breathin? Why you even talkin'? Put my big bang in your black hole, I'm Stephen Hawking If the mind is full of water, can you believe I'm walkin' On your thoughts trust me n***as what I've achieved is awesome Mind readers you think you know me, proceed with caution Ohup! Eternal sunshine of a spotless mind you lost him I cried when my grandma died, Bob says Josh says If Josh short for Jesus, then I'll sing what Bob says Oh small diamonds are blasé blasé Remember 20 carat solitaires can not be paveyed And while my heart has lots of scars hidden My beats is star ridden, givin' trucks and jeeps and cars rhythm Accompanied by 40 bars spittin, not from the prospective of narcissism But as N.E.R.D goes as I start pene-trating minds unlikely fitting Ghetto girls and thugs liking the album guitar driven, yup Ghetto girls to girls from the valley From n***as that skate to n***as that pump crack in they alleys I'm the black Carl Sagan, Timothy Leary, John Lennon lookin for my Yoko Hopin my wife hears me And maybe she'll have more Interscope and won't be a Virgin Who bought my album, and who will prefer the regular version that goes [Maybe {original} Hook plays fast] See, maybe [Haha] There was something wrong [Hooo!] And you were telling me no wrong [What up black radio? Daddy loves you] See, maybe [Ahhhhohhhhhhhhhh!] The laugh's on me [Yeahhhh] And life was telling me a joke (joke joke joke) [Maybe {Remix} scratchs back in] Owwww! [Hook] You and me BAPE, Ice Cream and BBC Just because we skate down the road (mean what?) Don't mean we can't slam Phantom doors (n***a n***a) You and me BAPE, Ice Cream and BBC Just because we skate down the road Don't mean we can't slam Phantom doors (n***a n***a) [Pharrell talking] Love y'all P.S. daddy loves you
