lyrics

Why hello there man. Mind if I stand?
Take a wee listen, cos I am a fan
He did not speak, just looked straight at me
I'd never heard a voice sounding so free
When he finished & spat, scratched at his tatt
I happily clapped, threw some coins in his hat
"My name is Luke, pleased to meet you."
I was from Oz, he was from Santa Cruz

I found him in the lowdown playin' blues
And all the while it seemed he couldn't lose

So LA was his muse, he kept singing the blues
I was taking his cues & feeling very loose
I bought him a scarf & a bottle of blues
Before very long I was spitting some truths
Razza-matazz, a chorus in jazz
A psychedelic rant about a dog named Baz
Respectfully mourned, as our partnership spawned
My heart was warmed, our friendship was born

So you know now how me & Slippery V
Met on Hollywood Boulevard, two likely freaks
Lost in the moment, found on the streets
Quick in the lip & so light on our feet
Right at the curb, pulled up a Merc
Just as Slip had to split for work
Selling VR from the back of his car
Out of the Merc stepped a hip hop manager

So we got us gigs, they paid pretty big
Slip bought a wig & I bought us our digs
We feel divinely guided, the kids are excited
The fame's coming fast but we ain't gonna fight it
Record a hit, video clip
Hang ten in a thong on the wave of our wit
Homosapien D, I tribute this to thee
I'm Luke Velu, this is Slippery V
