"Delancey Street" Lyrics

5.0 / 5
Song updated, review now!
Next stop: Delancey Street<br />
<br />
Step lively, and ah - watch the closing doors<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[ VERSE 1 ]<br />
<br />
I can't express it any plainer<br />
<br />
That I'm a entertainer<br />
<br />
People call me Dane, but my real name is Dana<br />
<br />
I've came here just to put you on<br />
<br />
Cause I'm taking the rapping world by storm<br />
<br />
In the rap I've made a change<br />
<br />
A change that no other out there can claim<br />
<br />
Now what I've done will make you laugh<br />
<br />
So don't you ever be offended by the words I pass<br />
<br />
I'll make you tickle, make your butt wiggle<br />
<br />
You'll tell your friends, and they'll chuckle and giggle<br />
<br />
Now this little story's called Delancey Street<br />
<br />
It's the place where clothes are bought and people meet<br />
<br />
Each city has a place that's quite the same<br />
<br />
Even though it might go by a different name<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Delancey Street<br />
<br />
Delancey Stree-eet<br />
<br />
Delancey Street<br />
<br />
This story can't be beat<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[ VERSE 2 ]<br />
<br />
Well, I went to Delancey Street to buy some wears<br />
<br />
Even though I already had on fresh gear<br />
<br />
Go into the store to buy a Kangol<br />
<br />
I took out my wallet and my fat money roll<br />
<br />
When three females walked up to me<br />
<br />
There was a white, a black, the other Chinese<br />
<br />
The white girl said, "My name is Dawn<br />
<br />
And I love your gear by Louis Vuitton"<br />
<br />
The black girl said, "My name is Jane"<br />
<br />
And she couldn't keep her hands off the fresh gold chains<br />
<br />
The Chinese girl, her name Sushi<br />
<br />
She was foggin up the '86 Guccis<br />
<br />
I thought they wanted to conversate<br />
<br />
Then they all pulled out a six-shooter trey-eight<br />
<br />
Three fresh females, who would have thought<br />
<br />
Cause they tried to rob me, I almost got caught<br />
<br />
I stood there for a minute, tried to concentrate<br />
<br />
I tried to think of a way for me to escape<br />
<br />
No one in sight, one thing to do<br />
<br />
(You mean you ran, Dana Dane?) Damn right I flew<br />
<br />
Up the block and through an alley<br />
<br />
Yo, I cold dogged my fresh new Bally's<br />
<br />
I ran through some water and some dog -<br />
<br />
But I don't give a damn, I wouldn't be their vic'<br />
<br />
Oh no, not me, not while I have feet<br />
<br />
So then I dipped over to Orchard Street<br />
<br />
Around the corner, past the brick house<br />
<br />
And right in back of me, droolin from the mouth<br />
<br />
Yes, them three females at hot pursuit<br />
<br />
Then all of a sudden they began to shoot<br />
<br />
I flundered, blundred, all the shots thundered<br />
<br />
(Where did you run?) That's what I wondered<br />
<br />
So confused, my head still in the wind<br />
<br />
A sign up the street that read (dead end)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
[ VERSE 3 ]<br />
<br />
Now here they came, just as plain as day<br />
<br />
Runnin down the street like _Three The Hard Way_<br />
<br />
I approached the stop, the temper grew<br />
<br />
And then the girl screams out: (Yo, damn it, don't move!)<br />
<br />
They continued strong like the quiet storm<br />
<br />
"Lover boy, run everything that you've got on"<br />
<br />
"Run your Gucci, your Louis and your fresh gold chains<br />
<br />
And your Bally shoes, we want it all from you"<br />
<br />
Now max this move, what could I do?<br />
<br />
Nowhere to run, no one to run to<br />
<br />
The girls just didn't know who I am<br />
<br />
But I knew a way to get out this jam<br />
<br />
I stood in their face, took on the loud racket<br />
<br />
Opened up my ??? jacket<br />
<br />
Printed on my shirt, yes, there's bold and plain<br />
<br />
'I'm not the one, the Rapper Dana Dane'<br />
<br />
Well, the girls caught the message, it was plain to see<br />
<br />
They might as well have said (Dana Dane, you're free)<br />
<br />
Cause Jane came by, she winked her eye<br />
<br />
And Dawn came over, grabbed me at my fly<br />
<br />
And that's about the time when Sushi came near<br />
<br />
She kissed me on my cheek and blew in my ear<br />
<br />
Each one of them tryin to grab my hand<br />
<br />
Screamin "Leave him!," to the other (Dana Dane's my man)<br />
<br />
I knew it: they'd blew it<br />
<br />
Punches were thrown, they got into it<br />
<br />
They rumbled, battled, wrestled like cattle<br />
<br />
"She made me do it!", they began to tattle<br />
<br />
Swollen eyes and busted lips<br />
<br />
Cause I think all of them got pistol-whipped<br />
<br />
But I don't care, do you hear what I say?<br />
<br />
I just wiped off my Bally's, went on my way<br />
<br />
And they're still not friends till this very day
