About "1 Thing" & Lyrics

Back in the day, when I was dancing professionally, one of my fellow hip-hop dancers told me about how she met this guy online. She explained how great he was...and also how he always wore baseball caps in all his online pictures.

They end up going out on a date and low and behold, the baseball cap comes off and all of a sudden, she gets a shiny surprise.

Needless to say, she wasn't into bald-headed guys and even though everything was great, she just couldn't get past it. And so, that was the end of that.

Her story and Du Damage's beats inspired my lyrics for "1 Thing". The song is pretty straightforward, but there are a few words or phrases that you might not get. Here's a little help...

LYRICS

Ah. Yeah.
Ah. Uh uh.
Ah. Yeah.
So get a load if this...

I was walking down the street
Passed the whoo whoos and the whistles
This guy looked krispy clean
So off I went to kizzle Jizzle

He was into me so quick
He hit me with them hazel eyes,
Pulled me close, he was so hot
So was his breath. It made me cry (Ewww! Oh no!)

BRIDGE:
It's just too bad (bad)
When it seems so right (right)
The perfect thing you had (had)
Just got messed up by that 1 thing (1 thing)

No second chance (chance)
Your target was in sight (sight)
But you just had to pass (pass)
'Cause he was messed up by that 1 thing (1 thing)

CHORUS:
OH oh oh (Oh)
Yeah ah ah (Yeah)
You've been had by
Just that 1 thing (By that 1 thing)

OH oh oh (Oh)
Yeah ah ah ah ah (Yeah)
You've been had by
Just that 1 1

Sweatin ellipticals at the Gold's
Lookin fly in my UA threads
See swole-ass stud from the rear
Poppin max glutes on the tread

Switched up to make my move
Faked a trip to catch his eye
Then when he locked his eyes on me
He rocked a uni, aye aye aye (Ech! Hell no!)

BRIDGE:
It's just too bad (too bad)
When it seems so right (so right)
The perfect thing you had (perfect)
Just got messed up by that 1 thing (that 1 thing)

No second chance (chance)
Your target was in sight (in sight)
But you just had to pass (I'll pass)
'Cause he was messed up by that 1 thing

CHORUS:
OH oh oh (Oh oh oh)
Yeah ah ah (Yeah ah ah)
You've been had by
Just that 1 thing

OH oh oh (Oh oh oh)
Yeah ah ah ah ah (Yeah ah ah ah ah)
You've been had by
Just that 1 1

I was surfin the social networks
Spotted hottie, straight bill capped
He had a certain style and he wore
His jeans just below the crack (Ooooh!)

So we met up on a date
Make-out session fast ensued
As we donned both our birthday suits
His hat fell off. Combover...oooh. (giggle)

S.U.B. of Tha Pak:
You sexy, and I'm sexy, too (What?)
I can show you what sexy do
Suit, Pepsi Blue. My sex is right
I'm fresh to death and afterlife

And, we don't have to fight
We can chill to the morning, come back to life
I'm a dude that you have to like
And did I tell you that I have a wife. Is that okay?

BRIDGE:
It's just too bad (bad)
When it seems so right (right)
The perfect thing you had (had)
Just got messed up by that 1 thing (1 thing)

No second chance (chance)
Your target was in sight (sight)
But you just had to pass (pass)
'Cause he was messed up by that 1 thing (1 thing)

CHORUS:
OH oh oh (Oh oh oh)
Yeah ah ah (Yeah ah ah)
You've been had by
Just that 1 thing (by that 1 thing)

OH oh oh (Oh oh oh)
Yeah ah ah ah ah (Yeah ah ah ah ah)
You've been had by
Just that 1 1 (Just that 1 thing)

Do you want some gum (gum)
Maybe a mint (mint)
Maybe you should stop (stop)
Smokin on that stick (stick)

Do you want some gum (gum)
Maybe a mint (mint)
Maybe you should stop (stop)
Smokin on that stick (stick)

Get offa me unibrow
Ima take a Weed Thrasher to that thing

And you!
Whatchu savin those last strands for?
Shave it off!
Own it
