Yacht Club
Written by: Christopher Portugal
[Thes One:] You know, when I'm not out performing San Francisco Knights with my posse, I enjoy playing the stock market, driving my rally car, and taking the yacht out of the yard most of all… check it out…
Cruising down the bay like an Old Man Loot
Laid back, Bird Larry tie, rocking a suit
You might think I was a good friend of Al Capone
Eating scones on a yacht while talking on cell phones
Got a white lounge chair with a suit to match
Golden-bordered anchor on the captain's hat
GPS, they can't trace Thes unless
You got an address, need to repress the test
Got a lathe in a sea-cave with no fleas
In the sand off my land in the West Indies
([Spoken sample:] So I got that..), and we can fix the skip
Jump back on the ship, head back to the slip
Cut an extra dub plate for my yacht club mates
So we can bump it up late while we throw down eights
Playing Gin, drinking gin, eating shark's fin soup
Dropping classic hip hop and playing "Name That Loop"
It's just a lifestyle I'm living 'cause I'm trying to get mine
'Cause being broke all the time sucks
([Spoken sample:] That's right, it sucks!)
It's just a lifestyle I'm dreaming 'cause I deserve mine
I'm tired of this underground grind
But, hey, you wanna exist that way? ([Spoken sample:] Okay, fine!)
I wanna live life to the fullest and get mine
Not riding the bus with hip hop on my mind
Let's try to find the balance, yo, and raise the bottom line
But you wanna exist that way? ([Spoken sample:] Okay, fine!)
I'll get what's mine, and you can do it for the love
I just hope you got a plan, man, when push come to shove
([Spoken sample:] When you're finished…
Why don't you drop by the yacht club?)
While me and the Judge'll be sitting, getting shoe shines
Removing a smudge, reminiscing 'bout good times
Like the eighty year regatta and a debutante ball
Placed third overall, tennised up last fall
It's all known, I hit the bathroom, it's all chrome
Got the Johnson's baby powder and the Polo cologne
Yes, fresh dressed, like a million bucks
Throw on the Bally shoes, tip the dude five bucks
Hey, stepped out the bathroom door ([Rap sample:] Oh no!)
Runnin' late for my tee time date, it's at four
Just enough time to get the golf cart front line
A pint of hefeweizen and a twist of lime
I shot par, let's tell the valet to get the car
Back to the yacht club, so we can chill at the bar
I got an open tab, crack a crab leg, you can have
Whatever you want, it's a five-star restaurant
([Spoken sample:] Top notch! Top notch!)
Let's not watch while they get fat
Off this hip hop, and all we get is some props
Some a-y'all are too satisfied with pats on the ass
([Spoken sample:] Well, I'll tell you what's real satisfying: cash!)
Yo, you wanna exist that way? ([Spoken sample:] Okay, fine!)
I wanna live life to the fullest and get mine
Not riding the bus with hip hop on my mind
Let's try to find the balance, y'all, and raise the bottom line
But you wanna exist that way? ([Spoken sample:] Okay, fine!)
I'll get what's mine, and you can do it for the love
I just hope you got a plan, 'cause when push come to shove
([Spoken sample:] When you're finished…
Why don't you drop by the yacht club?)
[Spoken sample:]
[Lacey Underall:] Looks like you're gonna make a lot of money when you're older.
[Danny Noonan:] Yeah? When? How?
[Lacey Underall:] Could be in the market… or on a gameshow!
[Thes One:] To all you little hip hop dudes…
[Spoken sample:] No offense!
[Thes One:] I know it's not about the money…
[Spoken sample:] No offense!
[Thes One:] I know it's really in this for the love
[Spoken sample:] No offense!
[Thes One:] …but…
[Spoken sample:] When you're finished…
Why don't you drop by the yacht club?
[Spoken sample:] So I got that..
[Spoken sample:] When you're finished…
Why don't you drop by the yacht club?
