ANDY MINEO

7

Uh, ramen and rhymin′

Thought it was over but no, it's God timin′

New York to Haneda, we gotta fly-inI know why I'm here, on assignment, yeah

Ramen and rhymin'

I mean, like, eat puto and onyx

They both warm my heart like good conscience

Nothin′ like good ramen and rhymin′

Eatin' [?] with [?] playin′

I kinda, sorta bouillon and rhyme-sayin'

Went from the futon, the dude is full-time

They discount me like coupon, but yet I move on

How you suburban critiquin′ GMC's in the Yukon?

You should be slow to squeeze like glue guns

And they know I′m New York, always, it's like Sufjan

I could do this all day when I turn the juice on (Ayy-o, ayy-o)

God is real, I'm from the ′Cuse

But still got love for Yukon

Tap you on the jaw, you gone

Float like a butterfly

Yeah, ramen and rhymin′

Wait on it, it's God′s timin'

New York to Haneda, we gotta fly in

Two things I know, I know, hmm-mm

Ramen and rhymin′

I mean, like, eat puto and onyx

They both for my soul like good conscience, mm

Ramen and rhymin'

Are we on the air?

Yes, you are

Uh, I′d like to hear a new beat

Ayy, yo!

Hi, my name is Andy some of y'all still don't know me

I be Uptown, mayo, ketchup, dippin′ for the tostones

And I do this for the Rock, I ain′t no jabroni (Shut up)

Growin' up, it was carciofi and macaroni

"Mangia, he′s a grown boy," that's what Grandma told me

Me and my fellas gettin′ rings like matrimony

Now it's gettin′ cozy, I need some extra room

What's courtside? (Ayy-o) I been to the empty tomb

And they hate but never show face, MF DOOM

Conversations 'bout havin′ kids, I′m delayin' it

The workaholic inside of me been afraid of it

Plus, who I′m gon' call to babysit, huh?

Money, green grass up in Amsterdam is a favorite

Get the bagel with the locks, I ain′t talkin' Jadakiss (Ah-ha)

Eatin′ in New York can get dangerous (Ha)

I wouldn't state you wrong, gotta stop at L&B's

Gotta get this spumoni and get a half o′ sheet

I always wanted abs, but, dang it, I like to eat (Eat, eat, eat)

Eat, eat, eat and feed (Ayy-o)

There for lunch, breakfast, dinner (Bonjour Papi!)

Imagine just hearin′ this

*Yells*

Others laugh*

Out a window

That's great

In Japan

Yeah

They used to laugh ′cause I ain't have the Jordans

′Cause I took all my cash and I put that in recordin'

And even though I had a stash, I knew I could afford them (Ha)

Never care about the Flash, guess I care more about Gordon

Whether first class or if I′m in the tourists

I always feel the same 'cause I know what's more important

Who I am when I′m home, not who I am when I′m tourin'

Now that I′m gettin' grown, my homies gettin′ divorces

Don't happen all at once, combinations and choices

Who you keep in your circle, who you sit at your boy′s is

And when they call you out, do you try to avoid 'em?

Or they try to slow you down but you keep goin' forward?

And you can show the way, ain′t no way you could force ′em

'Cause then they take your love and mistake it for poison

Am I wastin′ breath? I don't know anymore, man

Lord, we need direction, would You send the coordinates?

I wanna be, uh

Happy, happy, happy, happy, joy, joy

Uh-huh, uh-uh

Happy, happy, joy, joy

But right now, all I hear is the noise-noise

Come holla at your boy, boy, alright

Oh, oh-oh, ooh-ooh

Hey

This is [?] to Andy

They don′t know my name and

They don't know my songs

[?] this thing around

Snoop Dogg thinks he′s cool

You see, he looks like my old beagle that I had

Snoopy, Snoopy, Snoopy, Snoopy, Snoopy dog
