Lyrics:
was I by this rather macabre spectacle
that I wrote this song about a respectable British matron, who
discovered in the nick of time that life was for
the sea
A rose in her hair, a gleam in her eyes
And love in her heart for me
I work in a London bank, respectable position
From nine to three they
respectable
Put in a lil' bit o' thug in yo life come join the festival
Lemme see yo breasticles you somthin' bitch show me love
And I'll show you what this
him in a by-street, you may see him in the square
But when a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!
He's outwardly respectable, I know he
the sea A rose in her hair, a gleam in her eyes And love in her heart for me I work in a London bank, respectable position From nine to three they
Don't ask if I'm a respectable force
I'm a ineffectual, intellectual of course
You would not up stand a really pretentious fool
I became aware in
an offer that I can't refuse
Make me a respectable man
This is my last time in the unemployment line
So like it or not
I'll take those (long nights,
an offer that I can't refuse
Make me respectable man
This is my last time in the unemployment line
So like it or not
I'll take those (long nights,
Every day is a darker day
It's always gonna be that way
One step closer to mine
I know it's not respectable
But it is the best of all
One step
daughter
Look at me I'm the king of New York
Suddenly I'm respectable starin right at ya
Lousy with stature
Nobbin with all the muckety mucks
I'm blowin my
All I do, is dine with'm
And split a pint of wine with'm
Respectable as can be
Yet here's what they say to me
You've got that look
That look
him in a by-street
You may see him in the square
But when a crime's discovered
Then Macavity's not there
He's outwardly respectable, I know
He cheats
your friends of respectable distance
Out of our business, I wouldn't have to come and visit
I thought you knew, let the shit you like switchin' clothes
All I do, is dine with'm
And split a pint of wine with'm
Respectable as can be
Yet here's what they say to me
You've got that look
That look
respectable rappers
It's the way we've adapted, don't forget I made it happen
The most opinionated city you can make it in
And still a nigga made it here
I'm
the sea
A rose in her hair, a gleam in her eyes
And love in her heart for me
I work in a London bank, respectable position
From nine to three they
respectable rappers
It's the way we've adapted, don't forget I made it happen
The most opinionated city you can make it in
And still a nigga made it here
I'm
respectable
Tried to give you something you
Ain't had before but
It's all over, they got the drop on my life
It's all over all this pressure on me
They'd wish
the typical
More than just a video
A respectable
And effectual, girl
[Repeat]
[Chorus]
acceptable
Respectable, presentable & vegetable!
But at night when all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won't you
none.
Here you can see respectable folk
Keeping to God's own laws.
So far he hasn't taken heed.
You who sit safe and warm indoors
Help to relieve
the untestable
Hey, nowadays we try to keep it all respectable, word
[Chorus: x2]
That's right, y'all know me, it's Kimmy Cat from Queens
Sometimes I, hang
can't refuse
Make me respectable, man
This is my last time in the unemployment line
So like it or not I'll take those
Long nights, impossible odds
you're acceptable
Respectable, oh, presentable, a vegetable
Oh, take, take, take it, yeah
But at night, when all the world's asleep
The questions run
