[00:00.00]Passin' Me By (Explicit) - The Pharcyde
[00:12.79]Written by:John Boone
[00:25.58]Now in my younger days I used to sport a shag
[00:28.70]When I went to school I carried lunch in a bag
[00:30.82]With an apple for my teacher 'cause I knew I'd get a kiss
[00:33.38]Always got mad when the class was dismissed
[00:36.55]But when it was in session I always had a question
[00:39.29]I would raise my hand to make her stagger to my desk and
[00:42.10]Help me with my problem it was never much
[00:44.53]Just a trick to smell her scent and try to sneak a touch
[00:47.32]Oh how I wish I could hold her hand and give her a hug
[00:51.38]She was married to the man he was a thug
[00:53.50]His name was Lee he drove a Z
[00:55.31]He'd pick her up from school promptly at three o'clock
[00:57.68]I was on her jock yes indeedy I wrote graffiti on the bus
[01:02.05]First I'd write her name then carve a plus
[01:04.05]With my name last on the looking glass
[01:06.48]I seen her yesterday but still I had to let her pass
[01:08.96]
[01:12.45]She keeps on passin me by
[01:15.77]
[01:32.18]When I dream of fairytales I think of me and Shelly
[01:33.93]See she's my type of hype and I can't stand when brothers tell me
[01:37.09]That I should quit chasin' and look for something better
[01:39.14]But the smile that she shows makes me a go-getter
[01:42.36]I haven't gone as far as asking if I could get with her
[01:44.98]I just play it by ear and hope she gets the picture
[01:47.67]I'm shootin for her heart got my finger on the trigger
[01:50.53]She could be my broad and I could be her (ni**a)
[01:53.84]But all I can do is stare
[01:56.27]Back as kids we used to kiss when we played truth or dare
[01:59.02]Now she's more sophisticated highly edu-ma-cated
[02:00.89]
[02:01.95]Not at all over-rated I think I need a prayer
[02:04.46]To get in her boots and it looks rather dry
[02:06.76]I guess a twinkle in her eye is just a twinkle in her eye
[02:09.82]Although she's crazy steppin I'll try to stop her stride
[02:12.57]Cause I won't have no more of this passin me by
[02:15.23]Time for me to voice my opinion of not even pretendin she didn't have me
[02:18.17]Strung like a chicken chase my tail like a doggie
[02:20.47]She was kind of like a star thinking I was like a fan
[02:23.66]Dude she looked good down side: she had a man
[02:26.47]He was a rooty-toot a nincompoop
[02:29.09]She told me soon your little birdie's gonna fly the coop
[02:31.71]She was a flake like corn and I was born not to understand
[02:34.52]
[02:35.12]By lettin her pass I had proved to be a better man
[02:37.65]
[02:40.71]She keeps on passin me by
[02:44.52]
[03:10.60]Now there she goes again the dopest Ethiopian
[03:12.16]And now the world around me be gets movin in slow motion
[03:14.90]
[03:15.48]When-ever she happens to walk by - why does the apple of my eye
[03:19.03]Overlook and disregard my feelings no matter how much I try
[03:21.35]Wait no i did not really pursue my little princess with persistance;
[03:24.94]And I was so low-key that she was unaware of my existance
[03:27.74]From a distance I desired secretly admired her;
[03:31.05]Wired her a letter to get her and it went:
[03:32.59]My dear my dear my dear you do not know me but I know you very well
[03:35.90]Now let me tell you about the feelings I have for you
[03:38.42]When I try or make some sort of attempt I symp
[03:40.72]Damn I wish I wasn't such a wimp
[03:43.09]'Cause then I would let you know that I love you so
[03:45.65]And if I was your man then I would be true
[03:47.06]The only lying I would do is in the bed with you
[03:49.05]Then I signed sincerely the one who loves you dearly PS love me tender
[03:51.58]The letter came back three days later: Return to Sender
[03:55.64]Damn
[03:55.75]
[03:57.93]She keeps on passin me by
