《Vapors (Best Of )》歌词

[00:00:00] Vapors - Biz Markie

[00:00:00] Radio TV and even the press know the meaning of vapors

[00:00:05] The meanin' of this word without no doubt

[00:00:08] Means nobody wants to be there when you're down and out

[00:00:10] Once you're established and got a lot of money

[00:00:13] Everybody wanna be your buddy and honey

[00:00:15] Like tall buildings they call skyscrapers

[00:00:20] Can you feel it

[00:00:22] Nothin' can save ya

[00:00:23] For this is the season of catchin' the vapors

[00:00:26] And since I got time what I'm gonna do

[00:00:28] Is tell ya how to spread it throughout my crew

[00:00:31] Wel you all know TJ Swan who sang on my records

[00:00:33] Made the music nobody beats the biz

[00:00:35] Well check it

[00:00:36] Back in the days before this began

[00:00:38] He usually tried to talk to this girl name Fran

[00:00:41] The type of female with fly Gucci wear

[00:00:43] With big trunk jewelry and extensions in her hair

[00:00:46] When swan tried to kick it she always fessed

[00:00:49] Talkin' about baby please you work for UPS

[00:00:51] Since he wasn't no type of big drug dealer

[00:00:54] My man TJ Swan didn't appeal to her

[00:00:56] But now he trucks gold and wears fly valley boots

[00:00:59] Rough leather fashions and tough silk suits

[00:01:02] Now she stop frontin' an' wants to speak

[00:01:04] And be comin' to all the shows

[00:01:06] Every single weekend

[00:01:07] To get his beeper number she'd be beggin' please

[00:01:09] Dyin' for the day to get skeezed

[00:01:12] She caught the vapors

[00:01:17] She caught the vapors

[00:01:27] She caught the vapors

[00:01:33] I got another partner that's calm and plain

[00:01:35] He goes by the name of the big daddy Kane

[00:01:37] A mellow type of fellow that's laid back

[00:01:40] Back in the days he was nothin' like that

[00:01:42] I remember when he used to fight every day

[00:01:45] What grown ups would tell him he would never obey

[00:01:47] He wore his pants hangin' down and his sneakers untied

[00:01:50] And a rasta type Kango tilted to the side

[00:01:53] Around his neighborhood people treated him bad

[00:01:55] And said he was the worst thing his mom's ever had

[00:01:58] They said that he will grow up to be nothin' but a hoodlum

[00:02:01] Or either in jail or someone would shoot him

[00:02:03] But now he's grown up to their surprise

[00:02:06] Big daddy got a hit record sellin' worldwide

[00:02:08] Now the same people that didn't like him as a child be sayin'

[00:02:11] Can I borrow a dollar ooh you're a star now

[00:02:13] They caught the vapors

[00:02:18] They caught the vapors

[00:02:23] They caught the vapors

[00:02:29] They caught the vapors

[00:02:34] Now I got a cousin by the name of Von Lee

[00:02:37] Better known to y'all as cut master cool V

[00:02:39] He cuts scratch transform with finesse

[00:02:43] And all that mess

[00:02:45] Well I remember when he first started to rock

[00:02:46] And tried to get his job in a record shop

[00:02:49] He was in it to win it but the boss fronted

[00:02:52] Said sorry Mr. Lee but there's no help wanted

[00:02:54] Now my cousin Von still tried on and on and on

[00:02:58] 'Til the like break of dawn

[00:03:00] To put this job in effect

[00:03:02] But they'd look right past him and be like next

[00:03:05] Now for the year of 88

[00:03:07] Cool V is makin' dollars so my cousin's like straight

[00:03:10] He walks into the same record shop as before

[00:03:12] And the boss'll be like Von welcome to my store

[00:03:15] Offerin' him a job but now he don't want it

[00:03:17] Damn it feels goo to see people up on it

[00:03:20] 'Cause I remember when at first they wasn't

[00:03:23] Now guess what they caught from my cousin

[00:03:25] The vapors

[00:03:35] They caught the vapors

[00:03:41] They caught the vapors

[00:03:46] Last subject of the story is about Biz Mark

[00:03:48] I had to work for mine to put your body in park

[00:03:51] When I was a teenager I wanted to be down

[00:03:53] With a lot of M.C. deejayin' crews in town

[00:03:56] So in school on Nobel Street I say can I be down champ

[00:03:58] They said no and treated me like a wet food stamp

[00:04:01] After gettin' rejected I was very depressed

[00:04:04] Sat and wrote some def doo doo rhymes at my rest

[00:04:06] When I used to come to parties they'd make me pay

[00:04:09] I'd have to beg to get on the mike and rap that day

[00:04:11] I was never into girls I was just into my music

[00:04:14] They acted like I wanted to keep it

[00:04:15] Instead of tryin' to use it

[00:04:17] But now things switched without belief

[00:04:19] Yo biz do you remember me from Nober Street chief

[00:04:22] We used to be down back in the days

[00:04:24] It happens all the time and never ceases to amaze

[00:04:27] They caught the vapors

[00:04:32] They caught the vapors

[00:04:37] They caught the vapors

[00:04:42] They caught the vapors

[00:04:48] They caught the vapors

[00:04:52] They caught the vapors

[00:05:39] The vapors

[00:05:44] The vapors
