Rhymes That Took You Years To Notice

[My Girl is Bow Legged]

"Keen senses ever since I was a teen on the benches every time somebody like Ennis was mentioned"

I never knew wtf jay was talkin bout here until I read Decoded recently and he said he meant Ennis Cosby. It would've helped if he didn't pronounce it like pENIS

 

[ATLien81]

Here's one small example that I just realized after 15 years of misunderstanding the lyric:

"and If you like fish and grits and all the pimp shyt, everybody lemme hear you say oh yayer".
I always thought it was "and if your life is the grits and all the pimp shyt...."

It makes so much better sense now !

 

[FlyGuy]

my do(ugh) flip like tae-kwon

 

[mcellas]

Oooo baby I like it raw-ODB

Didn't realize til i started having sex and knowing those terms but as a 4th grader I associated Raw with something cool

 

[ManBearPig]

big pun -beware




" I'm not the one you should be underestimatin'
Come test your fate an' I guarantee I'll be under investigation "

that wasn't even complicated

 

[mortuus est]

"Jigga Man's the Diesel when I Lift the 8 Up"

Jay-Z Has a million of these for me....

[Don Dada Barbosa]

Or for example in California Love for years and years I thought the chorus was saying "California, no time to party" instead of "California, knows how to party".

shyt I thought I was the only one

 

[Roberto Dinero]

shyt I thought I was the only one

I thought I was the only one too!

 

[DeuceZ]

All me, no ghost, no 16-bit like sega genesis

I always got the 16-bit part but never equated it to the ghostwriter/biting rhymes part
