"Dreams Of The Funky Towel" lyrics
(from "Joe's Apartment" soundtrack)
[Dove:]
In rap goes apartment leave your chart bent off of hits
And catch mad love with a mix
Scream on fire like grits, and make sure the shine spits
Do away with all ignorance
Look out for the roaches and the pits Mr. Burns beware
[Mos Def:]
I be the Mr. Bern like the Bernstein Bears
Keep it Sloppy like Joe, 'cause Joe don't care
But as long as I maintain savoir-faire
And the bums on the street chump change I spare
Keep it slick like James Brown hair do
Keep it raw like the Z Ave crew, true
The temperature's high up, or H-D
If the last thing's a booger you can't count on me
I'm a give a cockroaches, Mos-Def-initely
[Posdnuos:]
Now the apartment is getting kinda hot up in here
I guess a De La Soul jam's been placed in your ear
Added sugar to the thoughts of the inner-city circle
Who might have to hurt you on a night that's late
When you're in the wrong town picking up your date
I guess your date wasn't set on having you for a mate
[Dove:]
Sweet dreams are made of these
Who am I to disagree?
I travelled the world and the seven seas
And everybody, say it's gotta be funky
[Posdnuos:]
We be the Suns party people rotate around the fun
(It's Plug One) One never played no guns
I specialize in never putting wool over the eyes
This is the tower of stain that wouldn't be surprised
If you didn't apply it to the ordinary skin
I'm a MC in love with the way-back-when
Match pens to pad, I be Ayamo's dad
Doing laundry to clean up on reality's fad
[Dove:]
Now we in a sticky situation but we make it funky
And bring it back to the days of watching punky
Brewster used to be in L.I. flats
With the bricks, jibbing this and that, upon tracks
[Mos Def:]
We came to thank kids, not the blankets, but the towel
Shed love with the verb and the vowel
Move grooves like a bowel, De La representer
See funky is the way we keep it setting in your dreams like that
[Dove:]
Sweet dreams are made of these
Who am I to disagree?
I travelled the world and the seven seas
And everybody, say it's gotta be funky
Sweet dreams are made of these
Who am I to disagree?
I travelled the world and the seven seas
And everybody, say it's gotta be funky
Yeah yeah, gonna keep it real for the apartments in your area
Yeah, gonna move it like this everybody just funk in your area
Pos One's in your area, Maseo's in your area
Too much Plug, Two much Plug
Plug Two's in your area
De La's in the area
Attic entertainment
Peace
