Luck of Lucien

Luck of Lucien - A Tribe Called Quest

Written by：Kamaal Fareed/Ali Shaheed Muhammad/A Tribe Called Quest

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'

V C R 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
