lyrics
(Chorus)
[The Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose]
Oh, if you have true love
take a tip from a man in misery.
Don’t ever be lonely, poor little fool like me.
Don’t ever be lonely, poor little fool like me.
Don’t ever be lonely, poor little fool like me.
Don’t ever be lonely, poor little fool like me.
(Verse One)
I stare upon the wall. . . like “Yo!
Who the dopest of ‘em all?”
I use microphones. . . to break mirrors
screamin’ “Can you hear me?”
cuz I feel all alone in this rush to claim space
where everyone wants a little taste of the stage and the fame.
And they show face
grinnin’ with they gimmicks.
It’s an artificial showcase.
I’m like, “Oh wait,
don’t miss the bus and catch truancy,”
cuz usually these g’s—
well they really ain’t g’s—
wanna be’s—
lookin’ for a string stuck up in a butt crack.
They flow is booty Jack!
About as hardcore as Cinemax booty slaps.
They got mouths built just like a booby traps
that they feet keep on steppin’ in.
Check the method, Kid.
I never said I was the best M-C.
Good enough to spread a little love
and break—free.
Not a Grandmaster but I Flash back
to see what hip hop used to be,
rockin’ a crowd so I don’t feel so lonely.
(Chorus)
[The Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose]
Don’t ever be lonely, poor little fool like me.
Don’t ever be lonely, poor little fool like me.
Don’t ever be lonely, poor little fool like me.
Don’t ever be lonely, poor little fool like me.
(Verse Two)
How does the story go?
Wildfire the way the love grow.
Wildfire flares and fades,
comes and goes,
leaves just as quick as it came.
Man, look at me smashed, shattered sick from the pain.
Damn, lost in this lonely bed I still feel her frame.
Got her name stuck, stained on my breath, yep.
We used to hang—
chill and play games—
free styling during sex intermissions.
She knock the beat-box.
I be like, “Check, listen, listen. . . .
When I get you back in the bed
I’ma tongue-touch you girl ‘til you beg.”
She would stop the beat box, pause, like,
“So you wanna see these boots knocked, huh?”
I’m like, “You know, I’m always trying to kick it!”
Exhibit, how we talk-touch for a couple of minutes.
Then we hop-hibbit,
bounce like bunny rabbits back into bed,
laughin’ tell we asthmatic
cuz we back at it again,
and now she’s gone,
and I miss my best friend.
(Chorus)
[The Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose]
Oh, if you have true love
If you have true love.
take a tip from a man in misery.
Oh, if you have true love
If you have true love.
take a tip from a man in misery.
Don’t ever be lonely, poor little fool like me.
Don’t ever be lonely, poor little fool like me.
Don’t ever be lonely, poor little fool like me.
Don’t ever be lonely, poor little fool like me.
