This song is as true of a representation of Funky DL and his love for jazz as it could get. An ode to the fairer sex and with true jazz chops all taken from Amyâs â(There Is) No Greater Loveâ. DL states âthe drums were actually borrowed âfor want of a better wordâ from Questlove of The Roots and his YouTube channel âqoolquestâ and sampled directly from YouTube, but with some snare drum tuning and toning to make it at least somewhat differentâ. The interaction from verses into chorus is a tight fit and works to make this joint a jazz-filled and energetic piece.
lyrics
[Uh, yeah]
So sweet yaâll, so sweet yaâll,
So sweet, swe-swe-swe-swe-sweet yaâll [x3]
So sweet
Chorus
Youâre the sweetest thing that Iâve ever known [x2]
Verse One
Minding my business on my way to work
Had a late night so I wasnât too alert
Then my eye caught on this pretty looking girl
Iâmma step to her talking this, that the third
Word, now she looking back at me
Asked âwhere she from?â she originally from Hackney
I said me too but Iâve never seen you
Quick smile then I had to say I donât mean to be too forward
But can we meet up?
Cinema flick or restaurant eat up?
Thinking her response might be quite generic
It was kinda nice cos she gave her numerics
Wow, what a way to really start a morning
Hoping, I get a connection when Iâm calling
All in all she ten out of ten
And all throughout the day the only thing Iâm thinking is⦠that
Chorus
Youâre the sweetest thing [so sweet yaâll] that Iâve ever known [x2]
Hook [x2]
Verse Two
2 weeks later we a little deeper
Call her Dibiase cos she put me in a sleeper
Hypnotized by her feminine charms
Girl so hot that she setting off alarms
Sophisticated garms and means no harm
The kind of woman any man would want on they arm
She always laid back and relaxed so calm
Wouldnât hesitate to introduce her to my Mom
Another two weeks now itâs been a whole month
Probably disagreed but didnât argue once
And I love everything about her
Business mind little entrepreneur
Pays attention to the things I prefer
I pay attention to the things that occur
All in all she eleven out of ten
And all throughout the month the only thing Iâm thinking is⦠that
Chorus
Hook [x2]
Verse Three
One year later, we pretty much the same
Moving to the place where she get my last name
Now we look back to the day that we met
Something reminiscent of a soul silhouette
Someone to love and someone to trust
Two individuals playing for team us
No substitutes and no referee
All that means is itâs her and its me
Two ingredients sound perfect to me
Everything invested was worth it to me
Personally comes first and for me
Aint no way it can worsen to me
Got everything that a young buck needs
So what we got is bound to succeed
All in all she a twenty out of ten
And all throughout the year the only thing Iâm thinking is⦠that
Chorus
Youâre the sweetest thing [so sweet yaâll] that Iâve ever known [x2]
