Thotiana, real name Tatiana (Okay)
Body like Rihanna, but she not Rihanna (No way)
I make the pussy wet, she need a mop-iana, (Ooh)
When she bust down make her buss it like a Glock-iana (Grrt)
She love it when I eat the boxi-iana (Ooh)
Make her body jerk, legs lock-iana (Ooh)
BEAST mode, motherfuckers ’bout to get hit
with so many foul lines, you’ll think I’m a FREE throw
figured it was about time for people to EAT crow
you about to get out-rhymed, how could I be DEthroned?
I stay on my toes like the REpo, a beHEmoth in SHEEP’s clothes
from the EAST Coast to the west, I’m the ETHOS and I’m THE goat
who the best, I don’t gotta say a fuckin’ THING, though
’cause emCEEs know
My granny 88, she had my uncle and then
A miscarriage back-to-back every year for like ten
Pregnant with my moms, doctor told her it was slim
Was bed rode for nine months, but gave birth in the end
Pops turned 60, he proud what we done
In one generation, he came from Africa young
He said he met my moms at the Century Club
1998年7月21日リリースの名作『Confessions Of Fire』は,後のディップセットのボス=キャムロン(Cam’Ron)のデビュー作です。NYCはハーレム出身。ハーレムと言えば色んなラッパーの出身地です。ディディ(パフ・ダディ),メイス,ビッグL,ブラック・ロブ,Qーティップ,J.R.ライター(ナツい!),そしてまさに「今」をきらめくティアナ・テイラー(先週金曜日にカニエ・プロダクションのアルバムをリリースしたばっか!),そしてキャムロン率いるディップ・セット軍団です。
このようにハーレムは素晴らしき数々のラッパーを輩出してきたヒップホップ聖地です。
そのキャムロンのデビュー作でもあり,名作と呼ばれる『Confessions Of Fire』より,楽曲「Horse & Carriage」から,以下の歌詞を引用します。
Aye yo, I pull to the hotel with my shit on blast
Tell the valet “Motherfucker don’t hit my Jag”
Seen the bell boy, nigga he can kiss my ass
Just show me my room nigga, and get my bags
So the girl, that’s my hon, almost dropped his glass
I guess he was shocked when I touched her ass
It really wasn’t nothin’ she was peedy aight
“Does that say Harlem World?” yeah you readin’ it right
And we havin a party, be there tonight
Like Phil Collins have her in “The Heat Of The Night”
Cause Cam rocks the party (All Night Long)
‘Til when? (‘Til the early morn’)
It don’t stop (and uh) it don’t quit
(and uh) drop six (and uh) we pop Cris
Right now too tipsy to drive
But I got my horse and carriage right outside
