Absolutely Positively..... Practical Jokes
MC Lyte

I play practical jokes just to get a laugh

I put roaches in my neighbor's bubblebath

But anyway, one day she called upon me

She said, Lyte, it's an emergency

My next door neighbor had an errand to run

I said, Why Ms. Davis, ask your son

She said, Ricky's at his grandmother's

I said, Well, what about Tommy, the younger brother?

She said, See, umm, he's at the pharmacy

I said, He'll be back soon how much longer could it be?

She said, C'mon, please, it's just a trip uptown

If you leave right now, you'll be back before sundown

Hurry up, there's not a moment to spare

It absolutely positively has to get there

Umm, I contemplated then I played a good Samaritan

Started the car, then she threw the package in

It absolutely, positively has to get there

It absolutely, positively has to get there

It absolutely, positively has to get there

It absolutely, positively got to get there

Pumpin' out the music on the FDR

Not far behind me was a DT car

So I eased up selector, 55 the digit

But on the FDR, 40 is the limit

Here they come, sirens on

I could see myself in jail 'til the break of dawn

But they rolled right by, it wasn't me they was after

A little red corvette, they was tryin' to capture

Dread I feel sweat so I set down my jacket

Look up ahead, now that's what I call traffic

Dipped to an exit and I made my way through

Couldn't believe when I hit First Avenue

On a Honda's ass, just about to crash

Looked at the gauge and the shit said no gas

Zero, nada, nothing in here, see

In car terms the shit was on empty

Got out and pushed the shit to the side

Hailed a cab then I caught a quick ride

To the house of inflation, yes, the gas station

Gave a little tip to show my appreciation

Got back to the ave where I left my car

It wasn't there but it couldn't have gone far

Damn, I must have got towed

Tried to figure out how much money I owed

Went to the pound and I paid my debt

Think that was the worst, you ain't heard nothin' yet

Bumped into that crackhead Sam, I used to see

And like always, hand out, give me money

In my tank was a dollar's worth of gas I had to get to a nice machine fast

It absolutely, positively has to get there

It absolutely, positively got to get there

It absolutely, positively got to get there

It absolutely, positively has to get there

As I left the bank to walk back to the BM

Couldn't believe what my eyes were seein'

Looked at the back tire, it was flat

While the other three were so damn fat

A brother walked by and offered his help

Ordinarily I woulda did the shit myself

But he changed it quick, so I passed him a ten

Here I go on this journey again

Went to the gas station to fill it up

When a crackhead from nowhere grabbed the pump

I said, Look, I don't need your help today

And I scared the motherfucker and he was on his way

Oops, a cat, shit, scrat

Fur on my tires and all that

What's this, a stroke of bad luck?

But at this point, I don't even give a fuck

I got to get the package to the destination

No matter what the confrontation

I arrive, bag in my hand

Lookin' for a woman named Pam

She opened the bag, it was wrapped tight and snug

But in that bag, yo, in that bag

45, guess what, it was a box of Q-tips

A box of fuckin' Q-tips, man
