Pharcyde, The - Passing Me By Lyrics

Romance is all we need in rap song, isn't it??
Soul of Mischief, De La Soul, The Pharcyde, Fugees, Common, Grand Puba, The Roots, 2PAC (he's actually written many romantic/love/warm-hearted poems such as "Temptations" or "Ratha Be a Nigga", and of course, " Dear Mama") , and some famous G-Funk rappers like Warren G or Nate Dogg (RIP)


Oh. Big Pun!! Wish he would be alive today.


Ain't no Christian, but I turly believe love/respect/loyalty should be taken as a rap's theme once again.

Back when rappers actually rapped😜

I love this group and song!!!! 🔥🔥 listening Dec. 2019 who else on here?!!!

Real underground, original thrue rap.Yo!

Slow motion yet mouthing lyrics is perfect timing

Adam Sandler.. Big Daddy! can still remember watching that trailer for first time

Also, I'm pretty sure this is the only hiphop song in history which uses the word "nincompoop".... LOL

😂😂😂

Or the dopest Ethiopian

The best Pharcyde track ever... So forever musically and lyrically relevant that it will never sound old. Absolute definition of classic!

Glad I grew up in this era of hip hop and not today’s shit..👊🏽

Kids now a days don't know real hip-hop how sad

If you're not with the one you really vibe with, you're feeling this song.

I'd like to know who's the woman in the first few seconds

reminds me of someone I saw gettin' into her Volkswagen real agitated with a bottle of white wine in front of a nightshop in my town - I was standing on the opposite side of the road more or less feeling like I was outta place again, this time 'cause I felt as if I was a kid - don't know why - this happened another time as well, when another woman I'd seen driving by got my attention & I was wearin' a borrowed bomber jack too big for me.

just a couple of years ago I think it was, not sure how many but after the Mayans spoiled it for us

INTELLIGENT Rhymes... That's what's missing now.

I'm proud of you Youtube recommended list...you came through with heat this morning.

Memories of high school fr

bringing back to my younger days miss the music like this, not so much high school,lol

Gay lil pump better

This was a different level of art. Forget hip hop for a second and focus on how good this record was.... this right here, this was one of the greatest records ever recorded in music history. Of course its hip hop based off the rhymes but this had something special, it was different from what you heard at that time in the 90's... It was fresh, new, innovative, lyrically sound, sonically sound, it was a masterpiece. The video with them upside down? Then in black in white? Pure Vintage, Classic, classic, classic.. all their verses were good but the last one? That verse made the cypher complete ⭐3:10
That was the perfect verse

Yea, man. They had the formula down. A simple and catchy hook. The verses were melodic and memorable. Great storytelling from everyone. It's a timeless piece. I've been hearing and singing along to this song since I was a kid, but I think right now is the first time I actually listened. Shame on me

first listened to this on acid. shit changed me

CXlassic cut and perhaps there best

When the weather rainy i play that

Any recommendations for songs like this??

Artifacts - Wrong Side of the Tracks
Ahmad - Back in the Day
Tracks like these?

ANNA warum hast du da sgemacht ,..=

Straight fucking DOPE!!!!!!!

This is my group, I'm still a fan

Anyone jam to this everyday? It’s a fucking wake up slapper

why do I have the feeling like Chris Rock is rapping on this one?

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 Id 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,

Hed pick her up from school promptly at three oclock

I was on her jock, yes indeedy I wrote graffiti on the bus

First Id write her name then carve a plus,

With my name last, on the looking glass,

I seen her yesterday but still I had to let her pass

She keeps on passin me by...

When I dream of fairytales I think of me and shelly

See shes my type of hype and I cant stand when brothers tell me

That I should quit chasin and look for something better

But the smile that she shows makes me a go-getter

I havent gone as far as asking if I could get with her

I just play it by ear and hope she gets the picture

Im shootin for her heart, got my finger on the trigger

She could be my broad, and I could be her (nigga)

But, all I can do is stare...

Back as kids we used to kiss when we played truth or dare

Now shes more sophisticated, highly edu-ma-cated

Not at all over-rated, I think I need a prayer

To get in her boots and it looks rather dry

I guess a twinkle in her eye is just a twinkle in her eye

Although shes crazy steppin, Ill try to stop her stride

Cause I wont have no more of this passin me by

And I must voice my opinion of not even pretending she didnt have me

Strung like a chicken, chase my tail like a doggie

She was kind of like a star, thinking I was like a fan

Dude, she looked good, down side: she had a man

He was a rooty-toot, a nincompoop

She told me soon your little birdies gonna fly the coop

She was a flake like corn, and I was born not to understand

By lettin her pass I had proved to be a better man

She keeps on passin me by...

Now there she goes again, the dopest ethiopian

And now the world around me be gets movin in slow motion

When-ever she happens to walk by - why does the apple of my eye

Overlook and disregard my feelings no matter how much I try?

Wait, no, I did not really pursue my little princess with persistance;

And I was so low-key that she was unaware of my existance

From a distance I desired, secretly admired her;

Wired her a letter to get her, and it went:

My dear, my dear, my dear, you do not know me but I know you very well

Now let me tell you about the feelings I have for you

When I try, or make some sort of attempt, I symp

Damn I wish I wasnt such a wimp!

cause then I would let you know that I love you so

And if I was your man then I would be true

The only lying I would do is in the bed with you

Then I signed sincerely the one who loves you dearly, ps love me tender

The letter came back three days later: return to sender

Damn!

She keeps on passin me by.

Yall b saying shes a hore or a bitch ca she slept out on u. I know people have to do what they have to do to survive emotionally if that what it takes to save ur life wha again das why it is written a u one inna dis it goes for dudes too obviously when people stop listening that a where u will buk up on ur own réalisation dont b a slave to the things that u know ca u learn everyday thats probably why she keeps passing u bye

Nothing like this nowadays.

You can tell the voice in the first verse is not original. Sounds like a fag to me😈

So I put too much salt in the rice. Maybe I was feeling salty

The one hip-hop song I can relate to............

2019 this joint goes harder than ever

Easily in the top ten hip-hop songs ever recorded.

Who needs cigarettes when u can smoke this joint. Big up Erica Badu

This is about a creep! And I am one so I feel better

nostalgia😙❤💛💙💜❤

atypical?

DAMN I miss those nineties.

Mid 90s
Anyone...?

I wonder if the youngsters think they'll be listening to any of their rappers 25 years later.

from this to trap and cardi b...........damn..
how tragic

Back when saying nigga was going too far..

I like the vibe in this song

90s was the best

This is HIP HOP! The stuff today is HOP HIP!!!

Who is here because of the atypical soundtrack? Bomb

Old school shit was hard on the life and on the streets never gonna be the same again. Honor the past the greats and giants that brought the streets to the masses. Celebrate the present for having the confidence to continue it. And hope for the future so our tales can be retold long after we die

Peace

what happened to this era of alternative hip hop and rap???

Who else came from Atypical season 1 end of episode 2 😄🔥🔥

Underrated Group

Friends from College/ sample from
Joe- Stutter

I always feel like I'm the only person listening this kind of music in 2019. But then I read the comments and recognize I'm not alone. Thank God!!!

The early nineties were the best period for timeless hip hop music imho. Outstanding beats, plain and relaxed rapping without all this overproduced fuss. The Pharcyde, Souls Of Mischief, A Tribe Called Quest, Naughty By Nature...my favourite artists when it comes to hip hop, I never get tired of this. You're definitely not alone, just take a look on the comments here.

NBA 2K9💀💀

Man I barely listen to my era of music. The 90’s give me the best vibes🥴

J’aime manger ma merde

The song and video were so deep. I didn't pick up on it back in the day but I see it clearly now. A classic, to be sure.
