Thoughts of an Old Flame

Lyrics

[Intro 1:] [clip from Guilty & Madlib "OJ Simpson Intermission #1"] "Uh, uh, uh... gyeah..." [overlapping samples] [documentary narrator] "Moving back and forth, from Chicago to Detroit, it is indeed ironic that the two men who would go on to capture the public's fancy as visitors from another planet..." "The old fashioned way, earned it." [Robin Williams clip] "God, man, what are the people doing over there?" "Don't ask..." heh, obviously... Peter was like... smelling it, and it's like, the first time I come into contact with this big ball of marijuana smoke, goin' *SPLLLCKK* "what does that do--wowww, I'm real hungry, I dunno why???" [SNL skit: Chevy Chase & Richard Pryor] If I said "dog" you'd say...? Tree "Colored"? Redneck! "Jungle bunny?" Peckerwood! "Spear chucker?" White trash! "Jungle bunny!" Honky! "Spade!" Honky, honky!!! "...Nigg*r!" DEAD honky! [Intro 2: soul sample, (Guilty Simpson "Intermission" clip)] (O.J. Simpson...) "is gonna last... foreverrrr" (Yeah, yeah – gyeah.....) [Verse 1: Guilty Simpson] She had a coke bottle frame and a random name I can't remember; however, when I ran my game She was so into what I was saying and shit Back then it was so hard to stay with a chick 'Cause I was pulling every pretty face giving me the play But this one makes me wish I would've went and stayed I believe in "don't call for days, playing strong Then drop by, pretending like doing this wasn't wrong" I apologize, I told a lot of lies All for lust, 'til trust was compromised And after me, I heard she did a lot of guys Scorned, and resorted to camera-less porn Every pair of jeans is flashing the thong All she know is "fuck a dude, get cash, and be gone" In and out of bars, in and out of cars, trickin' hard Call girl, not the basehead on the boulevard Ten piece, no question, but it's quite wild I feel responsible that she chose the lifestyle It was the winter, but I played her colder than December A time that we vowed to remember [Break: soul sample] "A vow... that's gonna last foreverrr..." [Verse 2: Guilty Simpson] She had dark brown eyes that can hypnotize I still remember, a lot of times I made them cry I never meant to be what they told you I was Sobering now, I'm probably blowing your buzz You probably paved over them potholes in your soul When a chick finds her boyfriend's in whore mode But I was young, you feeling me? I didn't understand relationships, responsibility Heartbreaker, went and did her dirty for another broad Found another girl, didn't take another call Cold turkey, remember when you said "don't hurt me," Now I'm acting like you ain't worthy Years later, I saw her with a dude in the mall Cashing out for clothes and new shoes Face to face with the monster I created Looking through me with hatred I couldn't say it at the time, how I wish I could've handled it better At this rate, it's like you gonna be mad forever – damn... [Refrain: Guilty Simpson] (Yeah... for real... check it...) Whatever your name is, whoever you are I'm sorry that I gave you scars Whatever your name is, whoever you are I'm sorry that I gave you scars [Outro: cartoon clip] "...check!" "I'll gather my posse and head them off at the pass" "What?!?" ("What???") "What'chu talkin' 'bout?" "That's what they all say in the movies" "Okay, men! You all got your assignments? Let's move out! Hup-two, three-four..." [overlapping voices complaining] "Hey, wait for me!!!"
