Jenifa Taught Me (Derwin's Revenge) Lyrics


Access to her code
Lovestruck was my mode
Took a look, dropped my textbook
Jenifa, (oh!)
Breakfast, broke it fast
She was in my english class
Asked for notes, rocked my boat
Jenifa (oh!)Jenny
Lost her favourite penny
So I gave her a dollar
She kissed me
(And I hollered)In a flash the school bell rang
Jenny grabbed on to my hand
Took me home and said, trugoy just
Swing and swing and swingThe downstairs, where we met
I brought records, she cassettes
Lost the breaks, found her shape
Jenifa, oh jennyTranscripts showed more than flirt

"I love daisies" read her shirt
Grabbed my jeans, jimmy screamed
Jenifa, oh jennyMarvelous
Shaped like a vase
No one can live their life for pos
Found a house, aroused my joust
Jenifa, oh jennyHer clothes, I did shuck
Just like dan I strictly stuck
To the punt, she cried "kick it"
Posdnuos was inJenny
Only thought about jimmy
But asked was I a virgin
Like some kid named derwin?She said "let's try it in the bathroom"
But 'dnuos is way above sinks
So to the kitchen she did dan
And came back wrapped in saranNow wait a minute! little derwin got something to
Show us that jenny could never do, listen)Hey look at little derwin, look at him go, look at him go!
Aw, babyPositions, muscles flexed
Dove was lost in a ghana hex
Passed her test, felt her teddy
Jenifa oh jennyNotions
Soothed the mood
Dove was lost in de la heaven
Screwed plug two, did the do
Jenifa oh jennyJenny
Teased my homeboy granny
In fact she teased so many
She was known as a garden toolNo more
I dispatched
Was it jimmy had met his match
Or could it be the realisation
All girls owned a jennyFor normal health
I had fought
A valuable lesson she had taught
Don't flaunt that the candy is good
Unless you came with plenty

De La Soul is a massively influential hip hop group, hailing from Amityville, New York, United States. They are best known for their eclectic sampling and quirky, surreal lyrics, and their contributions to the evolution of the jazz hop subgenre. They are the best known of the early alternative hip-hop acts. The members are Kelvin Mercer (Posdnuos, Mercenary, Plug Wonder Why, Plug One), David Jude Jolicœur (Trugoy the Dove, Dave, Plug Two) and Vincent Mason (Pasemaster Mase, Maseo, Plug Three). The three formed the group in 1987, while still in high school and caught the attention of producer Paul Huston (Prince Paul) with a demo tape of the song "Plug Tunin'".

Their debut album, 3 Feet High and Rising (1989), was a critical smash that saw the group labeled hippies due to the message of peace and love. They quickly became prominent members of the Universal Zulu Nation, along with A Tribe Called Quest, Black Sheep, Queen Latifah, Jungle Brothers and others. They were also members of the famed Native Tongues Posse and mentioned the group often in their music (though they have since left the group for various reasons). "Me Myself and I" became a huge hit, further cementing the group's popularity. However, rock group The Turtles sued the group for sampling "You Showed Me" without permission on De La Soul's "Transmitting Live from Mars". From that point on, sampling required permission from the sources before it was released.

After 3 Feet High and Rising, De La Soul was pegged by audiences as hippies and were expected to continue creating the same type of music. This greatly agitated the group, as they always envisioned their career as a constantly changing style. This would influence their next recording sessions.
De La Soul's second album, De La Soul Is Dead (1991) was a much darker album. It featured skits that criticized the direction that hip hop was heading in at the time, though it still managed to maintain a light sense of humor. While the album is a fan favorite today, it received mixed reviews and did not sell as well as 3 Feet High and Rising.

1993's Buhloone Mindstate and 1996's Stakes Is High saw the group evolve a new sound which - though it still failed to garner commercial success - cemented their position as mainstays in the alternative hip-hop movement.

Four years later, De La Soul announced that they would release a triple album series entitled "Art Official Intelligence" (or AOI). All three albums were intended to be released within a year, beginning with the release of Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump. This was followed by AOI: Bionix in late 2001. After this, however, the public saw no release of the third and final album in the AOI series. For the next two years, the only De La Soul releases were singles or remix compilations. Jolicœur (Dave) stated in an interview that it usually takes about four years for the group to record an album, promote it with advertisements, touring and so on. The group was having trouble finishing the last AOI installment for many reasons, one of which being an ongoing struggle with Tommy Boy Records, who had been releasing their albums ever since their debut.

In 2004, De La Soul ended up releasing a new full album: The Grind Date on Sanctuary Records. Although it was not the new AOI album their fans had been anticipating, it was released to some critical acclaim and was well received by most fans. The album also receives recognition for being the seventh studio album from the group.

In 2005, they were featured on the Gorillaz single, "Feel Good Inc." and on the LA Symphony single "Universal" They also made an apearance on superFast Jellyfish on the album Plastic beach by Gorrilaz in early 2010
