LIKE A BOTTLE OF BACCARDI (she made my life a party)

Six years in Lisboa,
guess I sort of
burned out my welcome
my friends coming by seldom
my presence was bigger than paycheck
was wanting to disappear like thumbtack into haystack
no transport to escape on regular basis
moved out of the city to a place called Oerias
didn't know none of the local kids
lived between the projects and the bourgouis pigs
couldn't relate to the northside betinos
I kept to the south with my new crew of amigos
Believe Posse was the group to see
they had a cool sound, Bodycount meet MARLEY
and the bass player's sister they called,"Mloa"
had a radiant angola mocha glowa
first time I seen Mloa was outside of the store
wearing a red kimono hair wrapped around a bone
living walking example of style and grace
curvy little figure with unusual face
whom I saw was the girl of my life
a girl who could maybe someday be my wife
gotta gotta good thing going
the vibe don't stagnate
the love keeps rolling
SHE'S ICECREAM ON MY PIE
THE KETCHUP ON MY FRIES
TWO SHOTS OF EXPRESSO
BEFORE THE SUNRISE
LIKE A BOTTLE OF BACARDI
SHE MAKES MY LIFE A PARTY
the vibe don't stagnate
the love keeps rolling
gotta gotta good thing going
the vibe don't stagnate
the love keeps rolling
She'd had 18 years of living in a crowded crib
Two bedrooms stuffed to capacity with growing kids
Bairro das Caixas the zone she from
saturated with smack and mud
and everything else under the sun
On my out been on the other side a long time
Wanna come back to LA my eccentric valentine?
Si, quero ir contigo
the answer was yes
Took her Moms to Palmeiras to eat Chinese
told her as calm as possible,
your daughter's coming with me
to the City of Angels to make a fresh start
leave the zone. the dope. and pursue a career in art
gotta gotta good thing going
the vibe don't stagnate
the love keeps rolling
SHE'S ICECREAM ON MY PIE
THE KETCHUP ON MY FRIES
TWO SHOTS OF EXPRESSO
BEFORE THE SUNRISE
LIKE A BOTTLE OF BACARDI
SHE MAKES MY LIFE A PARTY
the vibe don't stagnate
the love keeps rolling
gotta gotta good thing going
the vibe don't stagnate
the love keeps rolling
comin back to Cali without a nickle to our names
I was parking cars and she waitressed and Jane's
Using fake name, numbers and fake papers
Do what you do to get paid for labors
We kept the faith, we was not hopeless
We laughed away three years of brokeness
Laughing at ourselves, laughing with each other
giving the rest of the world hell
just us against them others
Finally we starting to live out our dreams
Doing our projects and doing some traveling
I wouldn't want to do it without her
She wouldn't want to do it with out me
gotta gotta good thing going
the vibe don't stagnate
the love keeps rolling
SHE'S ICECREAM ON MY PIE
THE KETCHUP ON MY FRIES
TWO SHOTS OF EXPRESSO
BEFORE THE SUNRISE
LIKE A BOTTLE OF BACARDI
SHE MAKES MY LIFE A PARTY
the vibe don't stagnate
the love keeps rolling
gotta gotta good thing going
the vibe don't stagnate
the love keeps rolling
SHE'S ICECREAM ON MY PIE
THE KETCHUP ON MY FRIES
TWO SHOTS OF EXPRESSO
BEFORE THE SUNRISE
LIKE A BOTTLE OF BACARDI
SHE MAKES MY LIFE A PARTY
the vibe don't stagnate
the love keeps rolling
gotta gotta good thing going
the vibe don't stagnate
the love keeps rolling
