Me’Shell NdegéOcello - Priorities 1-6 Lyrics

I hail from a suburb
Outside southeast
No, I ain't the type
I don't like to run in the streets
And I ain't really into none of that, ah
Pimp and thug mentality
But I like to smoke some weed
And get close
And set my mind free

Can I hang with you?
I ain't gonna pay your rent
All I've got is love
And time to spend
I ain't gonna pay your rent
'Cause all I've got is love
And time to spend

Can I hang with you?
Tell me
Can I hang with you?
I want to hang with you

Yeah
I got a nice car
So what?
Yeah, and I got a nice house, too

Come here
It don't mean a thing
Without someone there
To share
Give my love to
And I think that's you

I just want to talk and get to know you
I just want to talk and get to know you
I just want to talk and get to know you
Before I touch you
Learn to love you

Can I hang with you?
I ain't gonna pay your rent
All I've got is love
And time to spend
I ain't gonna pay your rent
All I got is love
And time to spend
I want to hang with you, baby
Can I hang with you?

Yeah
And yes, you know you fine
Yeah

I ain't gonna pay your rent
'Cause all I've got is love
I ain't gonna pay your rent
'Cause all I've got is love

Give you
What you really want
I ain't gonna pay your rent
'Cause all I've got is love

What you really need
Tell me
Can I hang with you?

I just want to talk and get to know you
I just want to talk and get to know you
I just want to talk and get to know you
Before I touch you
Learn to love you

Tell me can I hang with you?

I just want to talk and get to know you
I just want to talk and get to know you
What you really need
I just want to talk and get to know you
Before I touch you
Learn to love you

Can I hang with you?
I ain't gonna pay your rent
'Cause all I got is love
And time to spend
So tell me
Can I hang with you?
I ain't gonna pay your rent
'Cause all I got is love
I want to hang with you
Tell me can I hang with you?

I just want to talk and get to know you
I just want to talk and get to know you
I just want to talk and get to know you

Before I touch you
Learn to love you
Can I hang with you?
