(4 Times)

Remember "Lady of Guadeloupe"

the times mother made mole and

after mass we would get home

the girls running to the phone

and in my bedroom, the 45 on my record player was

"we're in this love together"

at the time I never realized how songs

haunted the ones that I heard, I played because I wanted

drawing on my wall from time to time coolin'

making creatures come alive with no schoolin'

Intro

No one looks as foolish as the excitable ones

but then again there's no one who has as much fun

"X" amount of action, "X" amount of game

for years again I tell you the same, ooh ooh oooh

Verse 1

Once I met a man who made nearly no mistakes

he would never bet on a longshot

and he'd never bet on a break and

he's condescending and talks gossip galore

but the dude was definently such a bore, hear me now

Verse 3

you're unmotivated, you're sorta faded

but the real man is not the one hiding behind the gunshot, boom!

Riff A

Time travelin through my memories

there's a younger Doug gazin' at the galaxy

space trippin' vato of the stars

searchin' for UFO's from Neptune and Mars

ode to an alien, I know you're out there

cosmic lonely heart, tell me if you care

I'm listening for your sound, here on the ground

I'm listening for your sound, here on the ground

Verse 4

When I'm on the microphone

the method that I make is much patience

the method that I make is much patience

I wait for the beat and then I make sense

in comin' in hot forgot, you definently got no clue

in comin' in hot you got, you definently got so rude

boy actin coy but you got nuts like almond joy

I tell ya, this is a tribute

(This time play slowly and let ring at end)

cause fly on by, you can if you want to

the method that makes sense is patience
