The Pharcyde
Passin’ Me By
[Verse 1: Bootie Brown]
Now in my younger days, I used to sport a shag
When I went to school I carried lunch in a bag
With an apple for my teacher 'cause I knew I'd get a kiss
Always got mad when the class was dismissed
But when it was in session, I always had a question
I would raise my hand to make her stagger to my desk and
Help me with my problem, it was never much
Just a trick, to smell her scent and try to sneak a touch
Oh, how I wish I could hold her hand and give her a hug
She was married to the man, he was a thug
His name was Lee, he drove a Z
He'd pick her up from school promptly at 3 o'clock
I was on her jock, yes indeedy I wrote graffiti on the bus
First I'd write her name then carve a plus

[Verse 2: 2-D]

We've got no camera to see
Don't think I'm all in this world
The camera won't let me roll
The verdict doesn't love our soul
The digital won't let me go
[Chorus 2: 2-D]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll pay
When tomorrow
Tomorrow comes today
