You Be Illin'

[Dupree]

I just asked my rather sheltered friend if they'd ever heard the song 'You Be Illin''. He asked me if it was a Mozza song...

Can you imagine that?!

How bizarre/exciting/scary would that be?

For those of you not in the know, 'You Be Illin'' is a song by Run DMC. The lyrics are as follows:

(One) day when I was chillin' in Kentucky Fried Chicken
Just mindin' my business, eatin' food and finger lickin'
This dude walked in lookin' strange and kind of funny
Went up to the front with a menu and his money
He didn't walk straight, kind of side to side
He asked this old lady, "Yo, yo, um...is this Kentucky Fried?"
The lady said "Yeah", smiled and he smiled back
He gave a quarter and his order, small fries, Big Mac!
You be illin'

(To)day you won a ticket to see Doctor J
Front row seat (in free!) no pay
Radio in hand, snacks by feet
Game's about to start, you kickin' popcorn to the beat
You finally wake up, Doc's gone to town
Round his back, through the hoop, then you scream "Touchdown!"
You be illin'

The other day around the way I seen you illin' at a party
Drunk as skunk you illin' punk and in your left hand was Bacardi
You went up to this fly girl and said "Yo, yo, can I get this dance?"
She smelt your breath and then she left you standin' in your illin'
stance
You be illin'

(For) dinner, you ate it, there is none left
It was salty, with butter and it was def
You proceeded to eat it cos you was in the mood
But holmes you did not read it was a can of dog food!
You be illin'

Right now I'm listening to First Of The Gang... and trying to imagine Moz singing You Be Illin' is rather odd.

Maybe he should do 'Still Illin''?

STILL ILLIN'

Spoken intro: "Yo yo yo. This be Da Mozfather in da house. Huh? Yeah..."

I decree taday dat life
Is simply taking an' not giving
England iz mine - it owes me uh living
But ax me why, an' I'll spit in yo' eye
Oh, ax me why, an' I'll spit in yo' eye
But we's cannot cling ta da old dreams anymo'
No, we's cannot cling ta those dreams

Does da body rule da mind
Or do da mind rule da body ?
I dunno...

Under da iron bridge we's kissed
And although I ended up wiff sore lips
It just wasn't like da old days anymo'
No, it wasn't like those days
Am I still illin' ?
Oh ...
Am I still illin' ?
Oh ...

Does da body rule da mind
Or do da mind rule da body ?
I dunno...

Ask me why, an' I'll die
Oh, ax me why, an' I'll die
And if ya mus', jet ta werk - tomorrow
Well, if I wuz ya I really wouldn't bother
For dere iz brighter sides ta life
And I should know, cuz I've seen dem
But not very often ...
Under da iron bridge we's kissed
And although I ended up wiff sore lips
It just wasn't like da old days anymo'
No, it wasn't like those days
Am I still illin' ?
Oh ...
Oh, be I still illin' ?
Oh ... peep this shit

To the delight of my coworkers, I regailed them with this story today. Instead of being mildly amusing...they asked me to sing them 'You Be Illin''.

So I did.
