Lyrics
Brick wall dedication
Mos Def affiliation
Adequate representation
This is the phat presentation
De La is the foundation
Common Sense collaborations
Peace to all of ya Haitians
Check it out
If money makes a man strange, we gots to rearrange that
So what makes the world go round
If love is against the law, listen I don't know
Gotta change how it's goin down
If money makes a man strange, we gots to rearrange that
So what makes the world go round
If love is against the law, listen I don't know
Gotta change the way it's goin down
Fell in love with this fish who got caught in my mesh
But yo she burned my scene up like David Koresh
I guess a diamond ain't nothing but a rock with a name
I guess love ain't nuttin but emotion and game
It's a lesson well learned so praise is well due
I'm sendin off from Big I, to Kenny Calhoun
And add a reservation for the resident crew
And yo get your bowl cuz we cookin up stew
See them Cubans don't care what y'all niggas do
Colombians ain't never ran with your crew
Why you acting all spicy and shiesty
The only Italians you knew was icees, niggas price me
I'm keepin it clean, like a washing machine
And yo, get your locomotion running to full-steam
I'm sending out a greeting to my man Daseem
I got a child so I gotsta get the green, right right
If money makes a man strange, we gots to rearrange that
So what makes the world go round
If love is against the law, listen I don't know
Gotta change how it's goin down
If money makes a man strange, we gots to rearrange that
So what makes the world go round
If love is against the law, listen I don't know
Gotta change the way it's goin down
Itzsoweezee, it's gettin hot this year
Itzsoweezee, it's gettin hot
Itzsoweezee, it's gettin hot this year
Itzsoweezee, it's gettin hot
Itzsoweezee, it's gettin hot this year
Itzsoweezee, it's gettin hot
Itzsoweezee, it's gettin hot this year
Itzsoweezee, it's gettin hot
I own the deeds to some acres in the West Indies
Where my pops is building residence to house my seed
Now here's the lead, y'all niggas pray to hot rods and not God
While Versace play you bitches like Yahtzee
Crackin jokes like you Potsie
(When's the last time you had Happy Days?)
Blazin up your herb to escape the maze, but the problem stays
Think big get it big is my motto
You can go and play your lotto, I'll be singin like baby won't you be mine
You'll be pressin rewind, you can never see mine
Keep your eyes focused, you can't touch this or quote this
Style is crazy bogus so you can't try to approach this
Stomp you out like roaches, pullin on my coattail
Like some horses pullin coaches, whoa your roller coasters
It's hotter than the temperature that's cookin in your toasters
While the heat'll put you deep into hypnosis (its gettin hot y’all)
If money makes a man strange, we gots to rearrange that
So what makes the world go round
If love is against the law, listen I don't know
Gotta change the way it's goin down
If money makes a man strange, we gots to rearrange that
So what makes the world go round
If love is against the law, listen I don't know
Gotta change the way it's goin down
If money makes a man strange, we gots to rearrange that
So what makes the world go round
If love is against the law, listen I don't know
Gotta change the way it's goin down
Itzsoweezee, Enola in the area
Itzsoweezee, Timbo King's in the area
Itzsoweezee, Maseo's in the area
Itzsoweezee, ninety-six is in the area
Itzsoweezee, lord lord lord
Itzsoweezee, lord, lord lord lord
Itzsoweezee, lord lord lord lord
Itzsoweezee, lord lord
Itzsoweezee, yeah
Itzsoweezee
Itzsoweezee
Itzsoweezee
Itzsoweezee
Itzsoweezee
Itzsoweezee
Itzsoweezee

RIP Trugoy, one of the creative game changers in Hip Hop and always kept it real with his lyrics. He never let the industry change him. RIP Dirtsman (the one who says Hot This Year in the sample and the older brother of Papa San for those who don't know or might not have any Dancehall Reggae knowledge) and RIP Guru from Gang Starr in the music video, another legend we miss and wish was still here. Salute!

Another one of my favorites from the mighty De La Soul. How hype Monie Love was delivering "the only Italians you know is Icees" line makes me laugh everytime. Trugoy looking back at her is priceless. 😂 RIP Dave the 🕊

There have been a lot of Artists or Icons I looked up to that have passed, as sad as it is, it never compared to what I felt with Dave passing. It's crazy to me that Dave's passing had such an emotional impact on me, even months later. I first thought, "wow, how can I be so down about someone I never met? What's wrong with me? Maybe I'm just in a down mood in general and Dave's passing just triggered those emotions"...Then, once their albums were released on streaming I realized why Dave's passing was so impactful. Yes, I grew up with but De La and their music was the soundtrack to my life - but they had this ability to make me feel like I was part of their inner circle, it felt like I was part of their music. As if I ran into Prince Paul at school and he said, "yo blackstacie, come over to my crib and hang. My friend Dave, Posdnous, Mace, Newkirk, Qtip, LONS, Dres, and others are going to be hanging, making music and smoking". When I arrive it's all open arms, love and goofy. Their music was in invitation to just be vulnerable, be fun, clever, and curious which only leads to an authentic form of creativity. So Dave's passing was really losing a long time good friend - a friend I never met in person but connected with spiritually through good vibes.

To be a teen in the 80’s. To be a twenty something in the 90’s. What a time to absorb music.
