Brother brother brother Lucien you're like no other
Listen very close 'cause I don't like to boast
Instead I'll tell the tale of a French who prevailed
Through the Mr Crazy Rabbits who were always on his tail
When in on sale your roomie starts to wail
"Get caught with stolen goods and you will go to jail
If you go to jail then who will pay the bail
They'll put you back to France on a ship with a sail"
Escargot Lucien you eat snails
Hey yo tip what's wrong with snails
From the Zulu nation from a town called Paris
Came to America to find liberty
Instead of finding pleasure all you found was misery
But listen Lucien you have a friend in me
Oh luck luck will drive you butt baddy
Next time you get some wheels make it a caddy
In terms of doing good I know you wish you really could
But listen brother man I really think you can
Succeed with the breed of the brothers on your back
It's the creme de la creme and you can bounce with that
It'll take a minute Rice so take my advice
Trust in us so thus you trust in your life
Lucine Lucien Lucien Lucien you should know
Are you ready Lu This one is for you
Comin' from a true-blue fits like a shoe
Come on start and stand or "Comment-allez-vous"
Lucien I'll leave it up to you
Voulez vous endez vous coo-coo les poo-poo
Watch that lass gonna backlash fast
Can you get a grip on the crack head dip
Sold you a paper bag guess he saw you comin'
VCR from a neck-bone bummin'
10 dollar brother he was hummin' and strummin'
Only had 20 he was livin' like ya slummin'
Gave him the money well I thought that was somethin'
Lookin' like a kid who was lost in crumbin'
Don't worry about a thing I won't get specific
This is a song that is long and prolific
Think of the stuff that I said if you can
Figure it out compute understand
No problemo I'll help you with your demo
If you go to the store for me
Lucien I'm just kiddin' you should know
You gotta get a grip on the missions you'll be takin'
Not so much the mission but you got crazy ignition
Sure the sugar-babies wanna give you a chance
With the French "Savior Faire" and the sexy dance
But is she really fly or is she a guy
I won't ask why 'cause I know that you try
You try too hard is that the answer to the riddle
Instead of doin' so much why don't you do just a little
Boy what a cad I guess we shouldn't treat him bad
In fact it would be nice if we understood him like
A case of positionin' and the feet in the shoes
Sympathetic reason in the case of the blues
Lucien is blue even though he's really brown
I had to make the sound his life is too profound
On the up and up he's somethin' like a little pup
Young and naive it's hard to believe
As long as you're strong
You can quest with the questers
Jolly like a jumping bean or a jester
Lucien Lucien Lucien Lucien
You should know
