Can’t Wait Lyrics

[Intro: Dave Rockin' Reel, Roz Noble & Redman]
Possibly a lot of rain this afternoon, with thunderstorms, highs in the mid eighties and lows about seventy-five degrees
It's 11:30 a.m. on WFDS, We're From the Darkside Radio
This is Dave Rockin' Reel, as we take a caller
Caller, you're on the air
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and this is Roz from Newark and I wanna hear that tune by Redman, "Can't Wait", that tune the bomb, yo
You got it, coming from The Darkside Radio, this is "Can't Wait"
Woo, yo, yo, yo, comin' to you live
Smokin' mad Phillies with my niggas from the Hoodaville section
And all my niggas from the Weequahic section, word is bond
Somebody said Jamaica, Queens in this motherfucker
I don't give a fuck, we gon' set it off like this
Jersey in the fuckin hid-ouse, for your mid-outh


[Verse 1: Redman]
I'm like rah-rah, like I had cerebral palsy
My flows be's wet like all you girls' drawers be
Crack the Phill's, spread the buddha then the hiddash
Roll it up and then ask, "Who chipped in for the ten bag?"
Et cetera, I roll my blunts with two textures
Pick up fifty bags and then I smoke all the extras
It's the truth, like vodk' one-eighty proof
Don't drop your drawers, I'll fuck through your daisy dukes (True)
Put your fingers up in the air if you're high (High)
I walk by (By), so f' a drive (Drive)
I swing up in it, batting average is half as
Good as Reggie Jackson's, that's why you talk backwards

And, uh, chumps be on some Bogart shit like Humphrey
You couldn't beat me if you ran with 21 Jump Street
Or 90210, fuck it, yo

In the movies I'm the nigga puffin' buddha in the back row
[Chorus: Mary Jane Girls & Big Daddy Kane]
I can't wait to get it on
(Check it out, y'all)
I can't wait to get it on
(You don't stop, keep on)
I can't wait to get it on
(Check it out, y'all)
I can't wait to get it on
(You don't stop, keep on)
I can't wait to get it on
(Check it out, y'all)
I can't wait to get it on
(You don't stop, keep on)
I can't wait to get it on
(Check it out, y'all)
I can't wait to get it on
(You don't stop, keep on)

[Verse 3: Redman]
I said I, catch the A-train, to the left (Aha)
Smoke the choc', I set shit off like Boba Fett (Aha)
Big up to all my niggas in the housing projects (Woo)
I'm runnin' up in ya, continue to split your guts
Grab the rail, if you get scared of my lines when I rock well
Got Whit's like Pernell, shit's the bomb like Akinyele
Rickety rocket, mind deep as the Loch Ness
Waste niggas like toxic, wet like galoshes
Can I handle my biz'? (Yes, you can)
I cause chaos, and bring a lot of Def to Jams
Yes I can, now act stupid, I'll pop the trunk, cla-clunk
Now give me a ba-bump, ba-bump
Ooh cool, smooth like two blue suede shoes
Y'all faggots slept on my Huffman and Koos
Word to Dan, Tan, Pillow, and Cool B
Switchin' speeds like Bruce Lee ridin' a Fuji in a movie
I drop it on the one, fuck the two, three
Funky like a box of coochies on loose leaf

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Based around a jazz loop from “Caribbean Nights” by Bob James and a sample from the Mary Jane Girls hit “All Night Long,” Redman’s “Can’t Wait” was released as the second single from his second album. It peaked at #94 on Billboard’s Hot 100, #11 on the Hot Rap Singles, and #5 on Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales charts. Erick Sermon produced the song and said the following about its influence:

Mike City, who’s a famous producer for Brandy and Sunshine Anderson, said that record is how he started producing. He said it gave him the formula to do Carl Thomas' single “I Wish,” because of the one-two of it. Mike City did “Full Moon” for Brandy, and again, those are songs that [were influenced by the production on “Can’t Wait”].
