Poison

(album: Poison - 1990)

[Michael Bivins:] Yeah, Spiderman and Freeze in full effect
[Ronnie DeVoe:] Uh-huh
[Ricky Bell:] You ready, Ron?
[DeVoe:] I'm ready
[Bell:] You ready, Biv?
[Bivins:] I'm ready, Slick, are you?
[Bell:] Oh, yeah, break it down

[Verse 1: Ricky Bell]
Girl, I, must
(Warrrrrn yoooooooooou)
I sense something strange in my mind
Situation is (seriooooooooous)
Let's cure it 'cause we're running out of time
It's oh, so (beautifuuuuuuuuul)
Relationships they seem from the start
It's all so (deadllllllllly)
When love is not together from the heart

[Hook:]
It's driving me out of my mind!
That's why it's HARD for me to find
Can't get it out of my head!
Miss her, kiss her, love her
(Wrong move you're dead!)

[Chorus:]
That girl is POISOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON...
Never trust a big butt and smile
That girl is POISOOOOOOOOOOOOOON...
[Kool G. Rap:] ("POISON! ")

[Verse 2:]
[If I were you I'd take pre-]
(-cautiooooooooooooon)
Before I start to meet fly girl, you know?
'Cause in some (portiooooooooooons)
You'll think she's the best thing in the world

She's so (flyyyyyyyyyyyy)
She'll drive you right out of your mind
And steal your heart when you're blind
Beware she's scheming, she'll make you think you're dreaming
YOU'LL fall in love and you'll be screaming, demon, HOO...

[Rap Verse: Ronnie Devoe]
Poison, deadly, movin it slow
Lookin for a mellow fellow like DeVoe
Gettin paid, laid, so better lay low
Schemin on house, money, and the whole show
The low pro hoe she'll be cut like an aaa-FRO
See what you're saying, huh, she's a winner to you
But I know she's a loser (How do you know?)
Me and the crew used to do her!

POISOOOOOOOOOOOON...
[Kool G. Rap:] ("POISON! ")

[Mixing of Kool G. Rap's "POISON! "]

[Michael Bivins:]
I was at the bar, shake, breakin and takin 'em all
And that night, I played the wall
Checkin out the fellas, the highs and lows
Keepin one eye open, still clocking the hoes
There was one particular girl that stood out from the rest
Poison as can be, the high power chest
Michael Bivins here and I'm running the show
Bell, Biv DeVoe [Ronnie laughs]
... now you know!
Yo, Slick, blow...

[Hook]

[Chorus]

[B.B.D.: adlibs]
Yo' fellas, that was another Dope one...
You know what I'm saying, Mike?
Yeah, B.B.D. in full effect
Yo', wassup to Ralph T and Johnny G
And I can't forget about my boy, B. Brown
And the whole NE crew

POISOOOOOOOOOON...
