Delancey Street Lyrics

Delancey Street lyrics

Next stop: Delancey Street



Step lively, and ah - watch the closing doors







[ VERSE 1 ]



I can't express it any plainer



That I'm a entertainer



People call me Dane, but my real name is Dana



I've came here just to put you on



Cause I'm taking the rapping world by storm



In the rap I've made a change



A change that no other out there can claim



Now what I've done will make you laugh



So don't you ever be offended by the words I pass



I'll make you tickle, make your butt wiggle



You'll tell your friends, and they'll chuckle and giggle



Now this little story's called Delancey Street



It's the place where clothes are bought and people meet



Each city has a place that's quite the same



Even though it might go by a different name







Delancey Street



Delancey Stree-eet



Delancey Street



This story can't be beat







[ VERSE 2 ]



Well, I went to Delancey Street to buy some wears



Even though I already had on fresh gear



Go into the store to buy a Kangol



I took out my wallet and my fat money roll



When three females walked up to me



There was a white, a black, the other Chinese



The white girl said, "My name is Dawn



And I love your gear by Louis Vuitton"



The black girl said, "My name is Jane"



And she couldn't keep her hands off the fresh gold chains



The Chinese girl, her name Sushi



She was foggin up the '86 Guccis



I thought they wanted to conversate



Then they all pulled out a six-shooter trey-eight



Three fresh females, who would have thought



Cause they tried to rob me, I almost got caught



I stood there for a minute, tried to concentrate



I tried to think of a way for me to escape



No one in sight, one thing to do



(You mean you ran, Dana Dane?) Damn right I flew



Up the block and through an alley



Yo, I cold dogged my fresh new Bally's



I ran through some water and some dog -



But I don't give a damn, I wouldn't be their vic'



Oh no, not me, not while I have feet



So then I dipped over to Orchard Street



Around the corner, past the brick house



And right in back of me, droolin from the mouth



Yes, them three females at hot pursuit



Then all of a sudden they began to shoot



I flundered, blundred, all the shots thundered



(Where did you run?) That's what I wondered



So confused, my head still in the wind



A sign up the street that read (dead end)







[ VERSE 3 ]



Now here they came, just as plain as day



Runnin down the street like _Three The Hard Way_



I approached the stop, the temper grew



And then the girl screams out: (Yo, damn it, don't move!)



They continued strong like the quiet storm



"Lover boy, run everything that you've got on"



"Run your Gucci, your Louis and your fresh gold chains



And your Bally shoes, we want it all from you"



Now max this move, what could I do?



Nowhere to run, no one to run to



The girls just didn't know who I am



But I knew a way to get out this jam



I stood in their face, took on the loud racket



Opened up my ??? jacket



Printed on my shirt, yes, there's bold and plain



'I'm not the one, the Rapper Dana Dane'



Well, the girls caught the message, it was plain to see



They might as well have said (Dana Dane, you're free)



Cause Jane came by, she winked her eye



And Dawn came over, grabbed me at my fly



And that's about the time when Sushi came near



She kissed me on my cheek and blew in my ear



Each one of them tryin to grab my hand



Screamin "Leave him!," to the other (Dana Dane's my man)



I knew it: they'd blew it



Punches were thrown, they got into it



They rumbled, battled, wrestled like cattle



"She made me do it!", they began to tattle



Swollen eyes and busted lips



Cause I think all of them got pistol-whipped



But I don't care, do you hear what I say?



I just wiped off my Bally's, went on my way



And they're still not friends till this very day
