"Straight Outta Webb" Lyrics: SCOTTSKY: Listen up cuz we don’t lie Richie G’s our man, he’s the nicest guy Getting this award ‘cuz he so cool 52nd time in the history of the school Got to achieve more than most Richie G is the best, we ain’t boasting So what he do? What he about? Just sit back, chill, and have no doubt BLINDBABY: Born in 55 to Arthur & Beverly 3 sibs kickin it, quite a nice family Grew up on the sound, lots of time to play Studied real hard coz thatʼs his way Went to Webb, but yo, didnʼt we all? Acting so straight and standing so tall Thought he could coast like back in high school Reality hit - whatʼs this Bernoulli's rule? Roomed with Roy for all four years Ainʼt no drama, just a lot of warm beers Loved it, specially Norm & Doc Joe Sounds like them when he put on the show Forged Doc Joeʼs comments on poor Gregʼs report Dated a girl and almost landed in court Crushed his thesis, won an award A brain like that? Musta been bored Graduation came, gotta say good bye Loved him so much, made his roommate cry Richie G is one heck of a guy And yʼall know here that it ainʼt no lie SCOTTSKY: Listen up cuz we don’t lie Richie G’s our man, he’s the nicest guy Getting this award ‘cuz he so cool 52nd time in the history of the school Got to achieve more than most Richie G is the best, we ain’t boasting So what he do? What he about? Just sit back, chill, and have no doubt STAMEN: Where to go, what to do, how did he proceed?

What he about? Just sit back, chill, and have no doubt
