Dangerous Dame - Subject of Importance lyrics



Let's do this

I used to be a person overlooked in the hallway

But now the girls are jockin and they're jockin me all day

I dropped the J-u-m-p-i-n-g LP

And I had was tapes, but yo, it sold a lot of copies

It was summertime, and all the tops was down

They was slammin "My Name Is Dame" with "Jumping" in Oaktown

The real thing, they couldn't believe I was comin up

But now in 1990 it seems like I'm runnin stuff

But back to '89 when school was in

I'm in the halls again, now everybody's my friend

I wonder why, maybe it's because of my fame

In '88 I was Damon, but now I'm Dangerous Dame

I didn't change, I'm still the same old me

But they be treatin me different because I r-a-p

And when the girls step up, man, it just puts me to shame

(I just want you for you, not cause you're Dangerous Dame)

Get out my face, now do I look like someone you could play?

Find another line, because that's somethin that they all say

I used to break my neck to try to get at this one girl

Don't even think that she acknowledged I was in the world

In '89 she was peepin me, bro

I used to be a ghost, but now she's givin me love notes?

(I heard you used to like me) I said: yeah, exactly

'Used to' because now you got too fat for me

She was mad, but yo, I had to break her

Because I hate it when a girlie catch the vapors

They offer me love but I don't want your body

I couldn't have it a year ago, so step off, hottie

They couldn't stop me, cause dissin em was like my revenge

Now I can say what I wanna because I'm makin my ends

They crazy, they try to say that I'm ample

It's hard to explain, so here's an example

What's up? (What's up?! What you want it to be?)

Oh god (Just cause you rap you think that you can talk to me?)

I didn't say that (You ain't nobody, you think that you're just too good)

That's when I slapped her like a normal nigga would

But see, I'm livin the life of an entertainer

It wasn't even smart for me to bank her

But I can't win for losin, I'm a man in the spotlight

Everything I do, they say that it's not right

It's not fair, it's just plain ignorance

And this is a subject of importance

(Yo Dame, I think I know what you're talkin about

But it might be a little complicated for the people to understand

So won't you break it down a little bit better for em, would ya?)

See, just cause I'm a rapper lots of people like to watch me

Broads clock me, fellas even jock me

But girls, they step up to me like I really need it

When I refuse it, they say that I'm conceited

But when I give em some play they turn wack

And start trippin, see this is how they act

(Girl, I seen Dame goin down MacArthur the other day, he so fine)

Watch this

(Well girl, I just got to phone him

he ain't nothin but a everyday nigga to me)

See what I mean?

Somebody tell me, what could be the reason for this attitude?

Why can't you treat me with respect and gratitude?

You disrespect me cause I'm comin from the hometown

I need support, not someone to bring me down

You get the message? (Yeah Dame, I see

But why it's so important, though?) Because it's important to me
