Priority Records - Delancey Street lyrics

Next stop: Delancey Street Step lively, and ah - watch the closing doors [ VERSE 1 ] I can't express it any plainer That I'm a entertainer People call me Dane, but my real name is Dana I came here just to put you on Cause I'm taking the rapping world by storm In the rap I've made a change A change that no other out there can claim Now what I've done will make you laugh So don't you ever be offended by the words I pa** I'll make you tickle, make your bu*t wiggle You'll tell your friends, and they'll chuckle and giggle Now this little story's called Delancey Street It's the place where clothes are bought and people meet Each city has a place that's quite the same Even though it might go by a different name Delancey Street Delancey Stree-eet Delancey Street This story can't be beat [ VERSE 2 ] Well, I (um) went to Delancey Street to buy some wears Even though I already had on fresh gear Go into the store to buy a Kangol I took out my wallet and my fat money roll When three females walked up to me There was a white, a black, the other Chinese The white girl said, "My name is Dawn And I love your gear by Louis Vuitton" The black girl said, "My name is Jane" And she couldn't keep her hands off the fresh gold chains The Chinese girl, her name Suchi She was foggin up the '86 Guccis I thought they wanted to conversate Then they all pulled out a six-shooter trey-eight Three fresh females, who would have thought Cause they tried to rob me, I almost got caught I stood there for a minute, tried to concentrate I tried to think of a way for me to escape No one in sight, one thing to do (You mean you ran, Dana Dane?) Damn right I flew Up the block and through an alley Yo, I cold dogged my fresh new Bally's I ran through some water and some dog - But I don't give a damn, I wouldn't be their vic' Oh no, not me, not while I had feet So then I dipped over to Orchard Street Around the corner, past the brick house And right in back of me, droolin from the mouth Yes, them three females at hot pursuit Then all of a sudden they began to shoot I flundered, blundred, all the shots thundered (Where did you run?) That's what I wondered So confused, my head still in the wind A sign up the street that read (dead end) [ VERSE 3 ] Now here they came, just as plain as day Runnin down the street like _Three The Hard Way_ I approached the stop, the temper grew And then the girl screams out: (Yo, damn it, don't move!) They continued strong like the quiet storm "Lover boy, run everything that you've got on" "Run your Gucci, your Louis and your fresh gold chains And your Bally shoes, we want it all from you" Now max this move, what could I do? Nowhere to run, no one to run to The girls just didn't know who I am But I knew a way to get out this jam I stood in their face, took on the loud racket Opened up my ??? jacket Printed on my shirt, yes, there's bold and plain 'I'm not the one, the Rapper Dana Dane' Well, the girls caught the message, it was plain to see They might as well have said (Dana Dane, you're free) Cause Jane came by, she winked her eye And Dawn came over, grabbed me at my fly And that's about the time when Suchi came near She kissed me on my cheek and blew in my ear Each one of them tryin to grab my hand Screamin "Leave him!," to the other (Dana Dane's my man) I knew it: they'd blew it Punches were thrown, they got into it They rumbled, battled, wrestled like cattle "She made me do it!", they began to tattle Swollen eyes and busted lips Cause I think all of them got pistol-whipped But I don't care, do you hear what I say? I just wiped off my Bally's, went on my way And they're still not friends till this very day
