Album: Human Conditions

Check The Meaning Lyrics

Say my name baby

 We love you RB

 Check you everyday on MTV

 Who da man, Who da man baby

 

 When I was young

 I was a class clown with glasses

 Y’know the type That you could burn mad ass with

 Got no romance

 I was a joke to look at

 So I had to be the funny man – Like who da man

 But on my 1st day I watched my car break down – had to be the missing pounds for petrol

 I was petrol, we both had to push the car up the hill

 To Kentucky fried chill

 All the people on the bus died laughing

 Ain’t that Richard Blackwood, boy you weren’t mackin’

 One day I’ma make you eat your words

 In the back of my mind I heard

 

 CHORUS

 Mama used to say take your time young man 

 Mama used to say don’t you rush to get old 

 Mama used to say take it in your stride 

 and live your life 

 

 On the comedy circuit they were telling me to do what the Americans do

 According to who…

 Is that a real Soul II Soul stay true

 And my uncle used to say stay you the brave crew

 

 Now I’m getting pounds and hugs from the people I check for

 From Birmingham to Brixton and more.

 Did ‘enough shows, with no dough, no podiums and only 2 people in the coliseum

 Can’t go from 1st to 5th gear

 Looking in my rear cause I’m bound to hear

 One day when I had you back where’s my drink at

 There you go tap water – Thames finest

 Its only natural from a minus, who went to a plus

 UK Black bound to bus- only cause I knew who to trust

 

 CHORUS

 Say my name baby, We love you RB

 Check you everyday on MTV, who da man baby

 You da man big boo, no matter what you do we got love for you

 Say my name girlfriend – Ohh We love you RB

 Check you everyday on MTV

 

 Look son if you wanna front on me

 I’ma single you out everyday on MTV

 And if you want more Channel 4 know the score

 Rollin with the Richard Blackwood show – Where to go !

 Sky’s the limit, and my light you can’t dim it

 On the silver screen I’ma get up in it in a minute

 It ain’t about a beamer or the Benz

 I wanna raise the flag like Loose ends – What !!!!

 

 CHORUS

 What y’saying – heh

 Say my name, say my name
