Looking Out for Mister D
You see him everywhere these days
flashing that dazzling Mister D smile
fixing up famous, rolling up jays
still slicking down that Mister D style
I don’t know what’s become of me
I’m looking out
looking out
looking out for Mister D
Didn’t I catch you making the news
taking a hard line every last time
how come you always get to choose
casually raking up every last dime
never been broken, nothing’s for free
so I’m looking out
looking out
looking out for Mister D
Ladies in linen, babies in black
the sins of the flesh are bred in the bone
balling up everything, balling the jack
stone after stone after stone after stone
it’s nothing like they show on TV
that’s why I’m looking out
looking out
looking out for Mister D
