Salt Water Taffy (Slo Jam) Songtext / Lyric

[Chorus (4x):]

Let me rip into a slow jam*

[Verse 1: ~Mondo~]

I wasn't always cool

I used to freestyle on my BMX bicycle

And just like any brother Michael Jackson was my hero

Bet the boogie got you bangin'

Oh you was the one to diss?

Well now your grand pops be slangin'

Honeydips in the Walkman, walkin' feelin' fine

Three dreadlocks, baggy slacks, the whole nine

It's the unconditional, type of slang we must display

Bouncin' off?

Until your stomach come to me

While freeze tag was in session

I was on the mic

While your brother wore his doo rag

I was on the mic

If there was a show goin' on at night

I was on the mic

Whenever Jane call my name

I wasn't on the mic

But I was damn near close

And spiritually you felt me

You should have felt the vibe and yo the way the joint held me

Was the bomb, now I'm cheesin', I'm pleasin' the crowd

Piecin' up my puzzle got my horse in the muzzle

Taste the honey now you bounce with it

You're reduced to sweat

Your ears are locked tight I might explode from the threat

Boogiemonsters in your area

Or Mondo in your dome

Your sister bought the single now there's Boogie in your home

[Chorus] [x8]

Let me rip into a slow jam

[Verse Two] [Vex]

I'm comin' for your mind

I'm comin' with the rhyme

Oblivious to pain

Oblivious to time

The sun won't shine till the moon goes down

I move it in the cycle of the universe astound

Get the pound and pull a little for the brothers off the path

Keep on studying the spirit and smilin' through the wrath

We gotta send a shout to our peeps across the land

Chewin' Salt Water Taffy, snappin' with the dance

Say, "Ohhla ohhla ohhla"

(Ohhla ohhla ohhla)

Hot damn, let me rip into a slow jam

Man, Boogiemonsters on a route

My mellow, my man Mondo McCann help me out

[Mondo]

Comin' through you like water

In my physical form, I ought ta

Tie my Tims and grip my nuts but then it'll be a slaughter

You can't front on the Salt Water Taffy

Kick you to your dentures

It's the adventures of the Daffy

In this ocean modulation I have the big lips

Chocolate simulation that stimulates your hips

Avoid the pit falls

Enjoy all that life has to offer

And realize the only piece of mind is in the water

(Dip dive)

We movin' through the battle like a spear

There's a natural mist floatin' through the air

The master of the rear so what you want stylist?

I give you that ole' uptown funk (AYO!) in the mix

[Chorus] [x4]

Let me rip into a slow jam

[Verse Three] [Vex]

Well it's the caramel kid and I'm ready to get spunk

On that, a one two, a one two like Biz Mark

Or DMX yes this is Vex rippin' on the 45

Slippin' down to 33 cause maybe it be soundin' live

And speakers turn to dust

I'm leavin' sets in ashes

When I hear the dusty record will the static in the gashes

I am what I am cause I can't be nothin' else

I be Coolin with my J though I guess I +Rock The Bells+

My psychedelic chat call me Saul

If you want butter never front and I still be comin' off

So pour it on the track, from the crates and I get Daffy

Chewin' up sweet music like it's Salt Water Taffy

[Chorus] [x8]

Let me rip into a slow jam
