Nowalaters Lyrics - The Coup

Well if you thrust, eventually you gonna gush 

And I'm implyin' I ain't had no business cryin' 

'Cause we used the rubber twice 

And we knew that shit was dyin' to bust 

Well, we was only seventeen 

But you was older in between 

And in my fresh Adidas fits 

I used to come more clean than Jeru 

Jerkin' off in a can of chlorine 

Sophisticated with the game I was spittin' in 

A nymphomaniac was with it 

That's just a clip, more experience 

Be on my chest when I was put to the test 

You said, "Goddamn nigga, that ain't how ya get it in" 

Dashboards for the leverage 

Tall cans for beverage 

The weed can make you courageous 

Make a Honda Civic seem so spacious 

Make five minutes seem like ages, anyway 

You smelled like care-free curl and nowalaters, baby 

Said you liked high-top fades and Jesse Johnson's crazy 

Seventeen, all on you like chicken and some gravy 

Learned a lot, thank you much, today I'm still campaignin' 

The lake don't smell so bad now, do it 

Don't trip off ya hair, baby, just re-glue it 

The windows is fogged up, can't nobody view it? 

Put down the O E and turn up the Howard Hewett 

And some more, we had things to discuss 

Like how we do it, we got amniotic fluid 

And a baby floatin' though it 

Hey, imagine if it look like us 

It was me up in the vaginary 

And I'ma love my kids whether real or imaginary 

Quit school, work well depends at the mall 

Next to Fashion Berry, operation cash and carry 

Manual labor from six to noon 

Makin' six kabooms 

Got a baby that's fixin' to bloom 

And he befits the groom plus grips the spoon 

So let me twist the ploom 

And inhale and emit the fumes 

You smelled like care-free curl and nowalaters, baby 

Said you liked high-top fades and Jesse Johnson's crazy 

Seventeen, all on you like chicken and some gravy 

Learned a lot, thank you much, today I'm still campaignin' 

I was composed, I didn't even crack a frown 

I was supposed to let my parents fall down 

And show my ass when I found that the baby was 

Four months early and around ten pounds 

I heard a lot of bad things about teenage mothers 

From those who don't really give a fuck about life 

She said, "It ain't so much that they startin' out younger 

It's just they supposed to be more like a wife" 

Meanin' you ain't shit without a man to guide you 

If ya mama tried to feed you that she lied too 

Make ya grab any motherfucker that ride through 

If jobs are applied to knots can get tied too 

Plus I know that you must have been scared 

It made it easy when the feelings were shared 

Flashback to 20/20, I know you waitin' for the dollars 

'Cause you knew I had funny money 

Yellin' all loud like I'ma tear the whole hood up 

Don't tempt me 'cause the real daddy stood up 

He said, I was a mark for believin' in you 

Now it's more that I'm seein' is true 

There's a few things I'd like to say in this letter 

Like I wish I would've seen him grow 

And ask my wife I learned to fuck much better 

And thank you for lettin' me go 

Yeah, thank you for lettin' me go 

For real, thank you for lettin' me go 

You smelled like care-free curl and nowalaters, baby 

Said you liked high-top fades and Jesse Johnson's crazy 

Seventeen, all on you like chicken and some gravy 

Learned a lot, thank you much, today I'm still campaignin'
