Shes Gotta Have It by Ozi Batla Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I woke up in a strangers apartment
Well let's call her Amber for the sake of argument
Playing the roots if I'm not mistaken
Mixed with the sizzle of eggs and bacon
She's making coffee -- how do I take it?
I mumble black cuz' I'm not awake yet
I feel pretty -- pretty vacant
I think she had fun -- or did she fake it?
Hey wait a minute, how did this happen?
Cuz' the last thing that I remember doing was rapping
I pull my shoes -- I went to ask her
"Was I a sleez yo?" cuz' I was blasted
She just laughed and said "same,"
"I'm sorry hun, but I forgot your name."
I told her as she filled the cup
She said "Don't worry boy, I picked you up."
[Chorus]
Girl! you've got me callin'
To see if you respect me in the mornin'
But I'm guessing you've got naught to say
Unless I'm coming over to play
[Verse 2]
I knew this girl, let's call her Heather
When I was in town we'd get together
And when I wasn't yo, not my business
She had emcees on her hit list
Hey that's me, that works out nicely
Lived in a pad that seemed quite pricey
"Gift from a friend" is all she said
Plus the car artwork or post of bed
If I enquired, she'd get mad
So I let her pay for dinner and a cab
And after that, straight to the club
Cuz' this "uh" lady needed lost of love
And she sit back and instant that
I bring back a nice lass from a three way chat
Rolled her up, home life was boring
"If you're not coming over then bother calling."
Oh man, I'm going to get in so much trouble for this track
[Chorus]
Girl! you've got me callin'
To see if you respect me in the mornin'
But I'm guessing you've got naught to say
Unless I'm coming over to play
[Verse 3]
One more tale that I should mention
Started out with the best intentions
Deep discussions over email
This was one clued up young female
I made a joke, she misinterpreted
Thought that she was being flirted with
No response, I thought I'd blown it then
I should've known it
Sending photos, talking dirty
The next level up from being flirty
She said she'd put me through my paces
Whether backstage or public places
I'm not lying man that's the story
It's not just men that are predatory
This ex, she won't live to regret it
She gotta have it, won't let you forget it
[Chorus]
Girl! you've got me callin'
To see if you respect me in the mornin'
But I'm guessing you've got naught to say
Unless I'm coming over to play
[Outro}
"Hey!"
"Hey"
"Good show tonight."
"Thank you."
"Whatcha doing now?"
"Uh, probably going to head over to Ele-?"
"Come on, I'll buy you a drink"
"Ah... I probably shouldn't"
"Just one!"
"Mm.. (smacks lips), I don't know"
"What are you, don't you like girls?"
(laughs)"What?" "No."
"Come on, I'm not Bi"
"Okay..."
"Great show tonight"
"Alright"
"I like how you wear shorts on stage"
"What?"
"It's really hot"
"Oh"
"Relaxed"
"Oh yeah, relaxed"
"Come out, my friends want to meet you!"
"Um, well.."
"You should come out with us"
"Well... maybe, mabye"
"Promise I'll treat you well"
