On The DL Lyrics


So here it is
Fuck it
Friends or no friends I had enough bullshit
To last me clear to the ends of my term
I hate worms
So I'ma bring in the fish
And induce my backhand
To refrain from my fist
Yeah I wish that I change
Then I could shed all the (main)
You trippin' on my ego
But all my shit is sustained
Order order
I cross the border for a spot in the sun
I'm so down with myself
Bitch I could chill as a bum ho hum
Drum
I'm so burnt that I'm beat

I got my fears on my nerves
And the crowd on my feet
The only one who has my (back) is me
In reality, see
I'm constantly fighting heavy
When we journey through the sea
Oui oui monsieur
I'm true to the game
I believe my friends you (slip) me
I might have the ego but you'll tell me who're trippin'
I know
And it shows
I can look at your nose
And just tell that you're effected by the e-g-o
On the down low [Repeat: x3]
I woke up in the mornin' to a girl who's butt's soft
Gotta brush my teeth
Clean my nuts off
Put on the gear that I'ma wear throughout my day
But before I take a shower I ain't ashamed to say
When I think of the night before, and the heat of passion
Your big brown booty
My mind starts flashin'
I'm lookin' in the mirror with my cock on rock
Should I pursue to do you
Or just stroke my knot
While my girl is asleep
I'm caught in a jam
Went to the bathroom
With cocoa-butter in my hand
Closed the door behind me
Locked it very tight
Thinkin' of all the naughty things we did last night
Slipped out my underoos sat on the toilet bowl
And let the hand I hold the mike with
Take control
Closed my eyes tight so it would seem more real
I'm thinkin' about the crazy ways you made me feel
As my thoughts get deeper
And a little more intense
If you don't know what comes next
Well you're just too dense
On the down low [Repeat: x3]
(man you Pharcyde ya know what I'm saying dude, this is it
Man damn, Tre)
He's chasin' me
Scrapin' my knee on the cement
Is what I did
What dug
Look under the rug
And I got it
Hit him in the heart with my (night struck a) slug
But no
This nigga had to go
Peep this
I was asleep
He climbed in my window
Grabbed me around the neck
Said scream and you're dead
I thought it was the devil
'cause his face was glowin' red
He was a brother
But this brother had the devil in his eye
He was out to get I-m-a-n-I
First I (took) my trigger finger with a wiggle
The devil jumps into my eyes and then I giggle
In the back of my head
You know Imani feels no shame
I've got my nine I said
With my millimeter go bang
I got him
He's crippled so he crawls across the floor
He's bleeding everywhere and now he's reachin' for the door
Bang bang bang
Yep I got 'I'm again
His story's soundin' sad
Like the movie Ben
But um
Anyway I'm just protectin' my shit
'cause if it wasn't me he's killin'
Then my moms mighta got it
It's on the downlow
Don't tell nobody I killed him all right?
[Repeat: x2]
On the downlow
On the downlow
On the downlow
'cause you should know
Flip fly caught you soaring sky high
But a
Fly slip wash you up fly drip my
Eyes cry
Tears fear
A baby eagle seagull shit falls quicker than a local hero
Zero from zero leaves nothin'
Now ain't that somethin'?
And all this time you been wantin' somethin'
For nothin'
The crew has pushed your button 'cause your frame is on recall
The homeys kick the (fact) 'cause its wack to let you fall
(why doesn't what) you're rolling in the 'hood
So niggas that don't want ya
And you're fucked
Crazy fucked
Like the slut Heather Hunter
(with me) the one that punches shit
I know you'll get the pick
With the cars and the girls
And the ego and the loot chief
I'll make this brief
I'd be lying through my teeth
If I told you you was dope
And your benefits was weak
From my ego
Those (libro) kids are creepin' with the steel
And you're cappin'
'bout this rappin'
And they're cavin' in the grille
On the downlow [Repeat: x3]
'cause you should know
'bout the downlow
On the downlow
On the downlow
'cause you should know

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
The Pharcyde is a West Coast underground/alternative hip hop group. The group was formed in 1991 in South Los Angeles, California, United States, where the group's members grew up. The group was one of the most well known of the first wave of alternative hip-hop acts.

The original members of the group are "Slimkid3" (Tre Hardson), "Fatlip" (Derrick Stewart), "Imani" (Emandu Wilcox) and "Bootie Brown" (Romye Robinson). The group is best known for their hit singles "Passing Me By" (which crossed over to alternative rock radio) and "Runnin'", and their debut album Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde.

History

1991-1996

After a live performance of their song "Ya Mama" for Delicious Vinyl record execs, The Pharcyde signed a record deal with the label. "Ya Mama" was released as their debut single in 1991. The foursome, with producer J-Swift, recorded their debut album Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde, released in November 1992. The album was highly acclaimed, and became one of the most praised and influential Alternative hip hop albums of the 90's. Sales were moderate-to-good, the album was certified Gold by the RIAA in 1996. Their second single "Passing Me By" became a minor Billboard hit, peaking at #52 on the Hot 100. The song was later featured in the hit movie Big Daddy and was also a crossover Modern Rock hit. Problems between the group and producer J-Swift began during the recording of the debut. Swift split from the group before completion of the album [which is why the final recording, "Otha Fish", is the only song not produced by J-Swift]. Swift started a crack habit, which he is still trying to recover from.

After the Bizarre Ride album was released, the group began touring with A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul, culminating at an appearance at the Lollapalooza show in 1994. In 1995, The Pharcyde released their sophomore effort, Labcabincalifornia. The album received mixed reviews, due to a different musical direction from the light-hearted playfulness of their debut. The album included another big crossover hit, "Runnin'", peaking at #55 on the Billboard Hot 100. This single was later featured in the movie 8 Mile, as well as the More Music from 8 Mile soundtrack. Labcab featured production from future super-producers Jay Dee and Diamond D. Album sales this time around didn't fare as well, the group wasn't able to reach Gold status again. Problems between Fatlip and the other MC's began to rise after this album, resulting in his split from the group. In a video interview with director Spike Jonze, featured on the bonus DVD from his solo album, Fatlip stated that he started sniffing cocaine, he was kicked out of the group due to his addiction to cocaine.

1997-present

The group was largely missing in the Hip Hop scene between 1997 and 1999. The three remaining members returned in 2000 with an EP titled Chapter One: Testing The Waters. They released a full studio album later in the year titled Plain Rap. The album was received with a luke-warm reception, critically and commercially. Soon after the release, member Slimkid3, now going by his birth name of Tre Hardson, split from the group to pursue a solo career. In 2002, he released his solo debut "Liberation".

The two remaining members, Bootie Brown and Imani, continued on with the group name, and released an album in 2004, Humboldt Beginnings. The album received even less attention critically and commercially than their last effort. Former member Fatlip released his solo debut in 2005, titled The Loneliest Punk. A Pharcyde compilation was released in 2005, titled Sold My Soul-The Remix & Rarity Collection, featuring a number of remixes and rare songs.

In 2003, Bootie Brown was featured on the DJ Danger Mouse and Jemini the Gifted One Ghetto Pop Life album track "Medieval".

In 2005, Bootie Brown featured on the Gorillaz track "Dirty Harry".

2007, Fatlip featured on Chemical Brothers track "The Salmon Dance."

On Delicious Vinyl's official YouYube page, it is said that more music from Tre Hardson, Fatlip, J-Swift and St. Imey are expected to be released early 2008. It also calls these artists the label's 'Dream Team'.

On April 22, 2008 it was announced that The Pharcyde would be reuniting for the annual Rock the Bells Festival Series. The first performance was Saturday, July 19 in Chicago.[3]
Remixes of The Pharcyde's "Runnin" and "Passin' Me By" appear on Delicious Vinyl's 2008 release, Rmxxology.

The Pharcyde toured Australia in February 2009 as part of the Good Vibrations Festival, and played in Sydney, Melbourne, Gold Coast and Perth, which was headlined by Fatboy Slim.
