Eye Know Lyrics

[00:08.40] Greetings, girl, and welcome to my world of phrase
[00:11.16] I'm right up to bat
[00:12.34] It's a Daisy age and you're about to walk top-stage
[00:15.56] So wipe your Lottos on the mat
[00:17.23] Hip-hop love this is and don't mind when I quiz your
[00:19.76] Involvements before the sun
[00:21.46] But clear your court 'cause this is a one-man sport
[00:23.89] And who's better for this than plug one
[00:25.87] Now you don't have to worry about me squashin' other deals
[00:28.86] 'Cause they've already been squooshed
[00:30.27] Freeze a frame about moods the same which we can continue
[00:33.16] Right behind the bush
[00:34.82] You'll stay with me
[00:35.51] Eye Know this
[00:36.35] But not because of all my earthly treasures
[00:38.85] Or regardless to the fact that I'm Posdnuos
[00:41.79] But because
[00:42.86] (Eye know I love you better)
[00:45.24]
[01:01.10] May I cut this dance to introduce myself as
[01:03.42] The chosen one to speak
[01:05.79] Let me lay my hand across yours
[01:07.74] And aim a kiss upon your cheek
[01:09.98] They name's Plug Two
[01:11.16] And from the soul I bring you
[01:12.83] The Daisy of your choice
[01:14.07] May it be filled with the pleasure principle
[01:16.88] In circumference to my voice
[01:18.65] About those other Jennys I reckoned with
[01:21.26] Lost them all like a homework excuse
[01:22.77] This time the Magic Number is two
[01:25.35] 'Cause it takes two, not three, to seduce
[01:27.46] My destiny of love is brought to an apex
[01:30.12] Sex is a mere molecule
[01:32.30] In this world of love that I have for you
[01:34.54] It's true
[01:35.75] (Eye know I love you better)
[01:38.09]
[02:02.14] Now it's time to let this rhyme style
[02:04.59] Get somewhat poured in the mold
[02:06.84] Hold my hand and we'll pick my plantation
[02:09.32] Of Daisies for a bouquet of soul
[02:11.45] Life will begin at the cut of a rim
[02:13.81] Take it as filled to the rim as in brim
[02:15.98] Squeeze your stoop like Betty Boop
[02:17.18] We'll make Campbell's Alphabet Soup
[02:18.92] And spell Plug One's within
[02:20.04] Forward march is the say when transistors will play
[02:22.72] Come into bed is the mood
[02:24.52] Dolby sound will be then top crowned
[02:27.20] When I put the needle into your groove
[02:29.21] I got a good thing and in full swing
[02:31.54] I show this in gifts, words or letters
[02:33.88] But even without those three
[02:35.06] Eye know you'll be close to me 'cause
[02:36.83] (Eye know I love you better)
[02:39.56]
[02:55.03] It's I again and the song that I send
[02:57.48] Is taking steps to reach your heart
[02:59.59] Any moment you feel alone
[03:01.81] I can fill up your empty part
[03:03.93] We can ascend 'till we reach De La Heaven
[03:06.16] And in a spin we'll hit the Top Ten
[03:08.46] Then we will meet Mr Stuckie and Pos' brother Lucky will preach
[03:11.50] Let the wedding begin
[03:12.62] Shot by an arrow of cupid through the string of a G-clef
[03:15.59] My dear, I claim you're def
[03:17.08] And if you can hear me, by golly gee
[03:19.26] Trugoy is ready for what you posess
[03:21.93] We could live in my Plug Two home
[03:23.73] And on Mars where we could be all alone
[03:26.05] And we make a song for two, picture perfect things and I sing of how
[03:29.77] (Eye know I love you better)
[03:32.66]
