The Crystals
He Hit Me
[Verse 1: Zin-Zeta]

Our engineer's lazier than a muh-f*cka
Quick to take money, but slow to conduct a
Studio session for less than $50 per
And that money thurr' wasn't worth the sh*t we'd heard
What we'd heard when we got the last track back
Plus, it's worse that we got a slow turn-around
Cause we'd write to new beats on the fast track, black
And, when we got it back, we'd been spread the word around
The beat had become old news and so did the buzz
So, we looked for a producer who we could trust
Found a n***a named Dub-Z with lovely beats out the ass
Plus, the first session was free
So, I went back to my producer/engineer
And told him I could never get used to his slow service
I needed someone quick-actin'
I tried to tell him more, but that's when...

[Hook: The Crystals]

He hit me, and it felt like a kiss
He hit me, but it didn't hurt me
He couldn't stand to hear me say
That I'd been with someone new
He hit me, and it felt like a kiss
He hit me, and I was glad

[Verse 2: Zin-Zeta]

Now, you know I had to yap the n***a back, right?
Lay the boy out and snatch the n***a's jack, right?
He's lucky I didn't crack him with the bat
In a way my gully uncle would've acted in his past life
A swing here and a swing there
Swinging like a monkey in the jungle... Upton Sinclair
Lucky I didn't bear arms up in there
(Unless you count the second right I threw at his chin hairs)

[Hook: The Crystals]

Yes, he hit me, and it felt like a kiss
He hit me, and it felt like a kiss
He hit me, and it felt like a kiss
And, when he hit me, he made me laugh
