Encyclopedia Black and the Case of You Lyrics

Like Encyclopedia Black I'm tryna solve this case of you

It's brand new mystery for a kid detective to investigate

Like a Hercule purple Poirot prequel

Backing into blue

As the beat inside my head begins to syncopate

But love is already funky

So when you go to paint it

It don't need no nothing extra

If you try too hard that ain't it

I drop the needle for the first surprise

I gotta wait and wait and wait for track 9

Right out the gate she say she alive alive alive

And all she want is to get up and buggy jive

I could do that

Brandi says the shampoo line repulses her

It's the line she loves to tell us that she loves to hate

I get it, girl

But I'm about that dulcimer

Cuz hold up

This ain't no Dorothy DNA

Cuz love is already funky

So when you go to paint it

It don't need no nothing extra

If you try too hard that ain't it

If you try you got to fight it

So be cool like Mrs. Parker

If you keep the loud parts quiet

Then the quiet parts hit harder

The quiet parts hit hard

The quiet parts hit hard

She is cellophane

Cellophane

Cellophane

This is your obsession

I go on about her too much

Have you learned your lesson

I am tender to the touch

Have you solved the crime yet

Sherlock Homeboy's on the case

Have you lost your mind yet

I've only lost my faith

The crime is all mine

But the quiet parts hit just in time

Got to get some

Got to get her

She got a mo betta blue

I just gots mo meta

She got hers and I gots mine

And she's in my blood like holy wine

So just the facts, ma'am

I'm tryna solve this case of you

Just the facts, ma'am

I'm tryna solve this case of you

I swear I swear I ain't tryna do what you do

I'm just a kid detective tryna solve this case of you
