The Sweetest Thing
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 Amy's '(There Is) No Greater Love'. DL states “the drums were actually borrowed “for want of a better word” from Questlove of The Roots and his YouTube channel “qoolquest” and sampled directly from YouTube, but with some snare drum tuning and toning to make it at least somewhat different”. The interaction from verses into chorus is a tight fit and works to make this joint a jazz-filled and energetic piece.
lyrics
Hook
[Uh, yeah]
So sweet ya'll, so sweet ya'll,
So sweet, swe-swe-swe-swe-sweet ya'll [x3]
So sweet
Chorus
You're the sweetest thing that I've ever known [x2]
Verse One
Minding my business on my way to work
Had a late night so I wasn't too alert
Then my eye caught on this pretty looking girl
I'mma step to her talking this, that the third
Word, now she looking back at me
Asked “where she from?” she originally from Hackney
I said me too but I've never seen you
Quick smile then I had to say I don't 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 I'm calling
All in all she ten out of ten
And all throughout the day the only thing I'm thinking is… that
Chorus
You're the sweetest thing [so sweet ya'll]that I've 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
Wouldn't hesitate to introduce her to my Mom
Another two weeks now it's been a whole month
Probably disagreed but didn't 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 I'm 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 it's 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 I'm thinking is… that
Chorus
You're the sweetest thing [so sweet ya'll]that I've ever known [x2]
