Do you ever see that stuff that be…
when it get cold that ice that you can’t see?
See that s–t happens sometimes.
Yep, black ice.

Big Gipp Verse 1:

Now you know and I know I done bumped every hole in the wall y’all
did you catch that phone call most of y’all didn’t met me
thought I was tall, Get flipped like a dip
slipped fell on da black ice
did you think twice, homeslice came and he went
satisfied got bent bars ain’t s–t
Mutant coast to coast yeah laughed and boast man do-si-dos
too many coming close cause

Chorus:
Touched what I never touched before, seen what I never seen before
woke up and seen the sun sky high, sky high

Verse 2:

Circulate like a Sunday paper
capers caught long time with cheap flicks
good picks pay hard watch the hard turn sideways
clip the tale for real sales to the who lose cash

[Cee-Lo]
Mmmm.. this particular song right here is..
dedicated to the black woman
And it doesn’t pertain to all black women
because some of y’all disrespect y’allself
because you don’t know who you are in the first place
This is out of common respect, for all women period
Word up, like this song, yo

Yo, I’m quite single, and occasionally I mingle
But aside from all the rest, she sparks my interest
No, ma’am, I don’t know you
Just offering the common respect I feel I owe you
Also, some conversation, companionship, common-ground and common-sense
There’s no such thing as coincidence in, me finding you here
And I really hate screaming in your ear, so some other time, OK?
I waited a day *phone rings* Hello?
