Postin' High
(专辑: Take A Look Around - 1990)
Here we go, we're on the
late night tip Master ace with a
tight grip Tight enough to hold the
crowd, control the
loud People, they gather to hear a
rather proud Brother, originator of the
third power Action the
posse grows just like a
flower Check it out, here's the
scene The
nightclub, you know what I
mean The
dancefloor nuff heads Gucci girls, a
few tuff dreads Homeboys dipped in silky Leatherseats in the
benzes often milky Cuban link, a
lotta moet to drink Cash spent as fast as you blink And all you hear is (do-si-do-do) None of these folks are livin low They're livin on the
(high) (High) You're postin high Yo, look at slim (word) she's soft as satin Livin on the
upper westside of manhattan She's paid, I
mean bucks She's got a
maid and her butler wears a
tux And look, look at the
car that she's driving Before we leave here tonight, watch me get live, and Swing it, rope it up and string it Open up and sting it... O-oh, what's up, you think I'm jokin? Just because I'm broke and I
came here by a
token? Yeah aight, sleep and keep snoozing Give me a
week, in her benz you'll see me cruising I'll be like, "yeah, what up, yo?" (Yo) "want a
lift to the 3
train?" (yeah, man...) no Call a
cab to come and getcha Cause I'm too damn fly to be seen witcha I
be chillin, livin like the
most guy Lookin fly, cause I
know how to post high (High) I
be postin high Ah, master ace, and how are you? Enjoy the
party? word, yo, I
am too So what's your name? hm, that's kinda different I
must say hard to spell, I
trust hey! Is that a
diamond in your gold front? Cute so is that custom-made gucci suit Cost a
lot? damn, that's kinda steep Oh yo, I
think you got a
beep The
payphone is right oh, you got a
carphone? Go right ahead, I

bar alone Hurry back, okay? hurry back Cause as I
look around, these other girls are very wack [*humming to the
music*] Damn, hey yo, what's takin her so long? I
want us to dance, they just put on my song (Yo ace, there she is) hey yo, who's that she's with? (That's merlin, he drives a
sterling, he's kinda swift) Oh, it's like that? well, go head, miss fly I
see how you're livin, you're livin on the
high Post (High) Yo, she's postin high Alright, alright, maybe you are right I
need to stay down off the
post, because the
hype Might make me light in the
head, so instead I
stay down on the
ground where they frown, cause they're fed Because they wanna live a
life with glamor They hope and hope and hope, but like a
hammer Reality shatters every single hope So what they do, is simply try to cope But who can be happy livin in the
state of poverty Watchin the
next man live greater? All he ever does is wish for a
chance Wishin he could buy the
suits and the
silk pants And all she ever does is pray That one day she'll have a
full-link mink, but hey They want somethin for nothin You gotta work, jerk, it's not that tough, and Wise up, rise up, and then you can size up to the
fly And wear the
clothes of those that post high (High) Postin high Post high but keep a
level mind Post high but never live blind Post high but never make that The
most important whisker on your cat Post high but never put the
next man down Post high but keep your feet on the
ground Post high -but don't forget your friends While you're doin laps in your benz Postin high Dj steady pace is postin high Mr. cee is postin high Craig g
