Tame That Fickle Fox

[Intro] (Yeah-yeah) Ba-da, boom-bap, let it knock like that (Oh, work it now) Kick drum talk, bass pop in my hand (Yeah, yeah) I slide in smooth, old-school in my walk Snap to the beat while the congas talk [Verse 1] Saw her walkin' in the neon glow, slow motion in that dress so tight Every brother in the room turned cold, tryna warm up in her light She got circles, little planets round, every dude just orbit her name But I'm vintage, baby, I don't chase, I just step up in the game [Pre-Chorus] She spin like a record, never land on one Every eye upon her when the night’s begun But I got that rhythm she ain’t heard before Gonna turn that maybe to a metaphor [Chorus] Tame that fickle fox, I’m the hunter of the night Got that old-school charm, got that groove that feels so right She can play them boys like a deck she likes to shuffle But I’m the one who’ll break that spell and end the hustle Tame that fickle fox, watch her claws turn into touch When I lay this funk upon her, girl gon’ feel too much Tame that fickle fox, let the others fade to black When she hears my heart go boom, she ain’t ever lookin’ back [Verse 2] She be dancin' with a different man, every chorus, every song They be flexin' with their borrowed shine, but the groove all feelin' wrong I just lean up on the bar so cool, finger-snappin' with the band When she catches how my bass line talks, she gon’ reach out for my hand [Pre-Chorus] She spin like a record, never hit repeat Little wild fire runnin' through these streets But I got that swagger, that unshakable tone Gonna show her how it feels when a king takes the throne [Chorus] Tame that fickle fox, I’m the hunter of the night Got that old-school charm, got that groove that feels so right She can play them boys like a deck she likes to shuffle But I’m the one who’ll break that spell and end the hustle Tame that fickle fox, slide her closer when we dance When she feels this pocket hit, she won’t need another chance Tame that fickle fox, let the rest just fade away When she hears my funk talk sweet, she gon’ choose me anyway [Bridge] (Timpani roll) Boom-boom, thunder in my chest, can you feel that sound? Sax cry, slide high, let the world spin round You got a jungle in your heart, runnin' wild and free But you’re slowin’ down, girl, when you look at me (Timpani speak) Boom-bap, boom-bap, drums crack through the haze Sax sing, bend notes, set your heart ablaze All those numbers in your phone, they just lose their shine When the thunder and the honey hit your soul like mine [Breakdown] (Yeah) Fox in the corner with the gold in her eyes Trumpet pop quick, cuttin’ through the lies Falsetto float high, say "come this way" I’m the only groove that can make her stay [Chorus] Tame that fickle fox, I’m the hunter of the night Got that old-school charm, got that groove that feels so right She been runnin' circles while they trip over the chase But I’m the one who slow her down, put that smile on her face Tame that fickle fox, watch her claws turn into touch When I lay this funk upon her, girl gon’ feel too much Tame that fickle fox, let the others fade to black When she hears my heart go boom, she ain’t ever lookin’ back [Outro] (Yeah-yeah) Boom, snap, slap, let the bassline talk (Oh, fickle fox) Step by step ‘til we leave that flock (Yeah, I’m your man) Old-school player with a brand-new spin When the night goes quiet, girl, I’m still your win (Oh, tame that fox) Tame that fickle fox, let the groove lock in
