Jerk Ribs Lyrics

And my ear drum, reminds me
His name was just way down in my feet
And this moment, well, I can't breathe
You can't control, something that's getting free
And the rhythm's, exciting
Oh when I start this road full of streets
I'm glad you get this one for cheap

In Harlem, where I started to breathe
Your beat was like a soundtrack to me
I was the girl, my daddy was the world
He played the notes and keys
He said to look for melody in everything

It feels just like it should
I wake up, this, this is what it looks like
So don't miss this, this is what it looks like
So call on me, it feels just like it should
So call on me

The best favorites, go through me
I press the strings, I love everything
Hurtful pain, forget the time and keep staying
Hold the doors, dance and give it away
Just around me, I hear it
And melody was right over me
But whistleblowers happened for me

It feels just like it should
I wake up, this, this is what it looks like
So don't miss this, this is what it looks like
So call on me, it feels just like it should
So call on me

In Harlem, where I started to breathe
Your beat was like a soundtrack to me
I was the girl, my daddy was the world
He played the notes and keys
He said to look for melody in everything

It feels just like it should
I wake up, this, this is what it looks like
So don't miss this, this is what it looks like
So call on me, it feels just like it should
So call on me

Jerk Ribs

The first single from Kelis' Food album, this was released on January 28, 2014, but it had previously been available to download for free from the singer's website since April 2013.

Food was produced by TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek. Speaking about the album's title, Kelis told HipHollywood : "We recorded in a house. It was Dave's house and he lives really close to me. It was a huge band, so people were there, and people are hungry. So we were eating, and recording, and singing, and eating some more and it was a lot of that. It wasn't the plan but that's just what it ended up being because that's just who we are. It was really natural and it felt really good and it tasted really good too."

The Food title is thematically appropriate to Kelis' own skills. She trained part-time as a chef in the late 2000s, eventually graduating from Le Cordon Bleu culinary school. Her Saucy and Sweet show premiered on The Cooking Channel on February 25, 2014.

The eclectic video sees Kelis posing for photoshoots and performing at a garden party. "This song is the cornerstone of my album," she told Time magazine. "So I wanted the video to look like my life, my love - back to the beginning."

This was originally named "Call On Me" before Kelis reverted to the random placeholder title Dave Sitek used to describe the song in the studio.

Rumble Lyrics

It's the strangest thing
To have you back in my face
With all those years passed
I guess I just got used to my space

I don't know how to feel
This whole thing seems so surreal
So you keep one foot out the door
I know I said 'leave' but, baby, don't go

We got so much history
I hurt you, you hurt me
No, we don't need therapy
What I need is you here

And even though I know I'm right
Just like some lapse in my memory
You're back to me, hand on the door
I want you, baby, don't go

I'm so glad you give back my keys
Oh, I'm so glad you give back my keys
Oh, I'm so glad you give back my keys
My keys

You got so many issues but I guess I can top me, too
I'm just fine by myself
But I don't know who's gonna help you
I'm not no secretary, I'm nobody's Major D

But like a lapse in my memory
I want you, baby, don't go
Baby, don't go, baby, don't go
Baby, don't leave, yeah
Stay the night, baby
Don't go, baby, oh, hey, baby, don't, baby, don't go

I'm so glad you give back my keys
Oh, I'm so glad you give back my keys
Oh, I'm so glad you give back my keys
My keys

I'm so glad you give back my keys
Oh, I'm so glad you give back my keys
Oh, I'm so glad you give back my keys
My keys

Rumble

Perhaps referencing her marriage breakup with Nas, this Funk-Soul torch ballad finds Kelis in emotional turmoil as she yearns for her ex despite kicking him out. "No we don't need therapy, what I need is for you to leave" she croons, before pleading soon afterwards, "baby don't go."

Friday Fish Fry Lyrics

I said, oh my daddy, game's over
I said, oh my daddy, game's over
I said, oh my daddy, game's over
I said, oh my daddy, game's over

I said I'm making you peace
I'm down on my knees
Give me what I want
Give me what I need
I said, I'm begging you, please
I'm down on my knees
Give me what I want
Give me what I need
I said, I'm begging you, please
I'm down onmy knees
Give me what I want
Give me what I need
I said, I'm begging you, please
I'm down on my knees

You said: that's the thing
And I just don't want to fight
See, the bottom of what I said
Is that, take that man, take that man to bed
On the contrary
I know who to sit
I know you ain't right
You ain't right

Give me what I want
Give me what I need
I said, I'm begging you, please
I'm down on my knees
Give me what I want
Give me what I need
I said, I'm begging you, please
I'm down on my knees
Give me what I want
Give me what I need
I said, I'm begging you, please
I'm down on my knees
Give me what I want
Give me what I need
I said, I'm begging you, please
I'm down on my knees

'The idea sounds nice but
Darling, you're not even my type, you see'
Hey, you, yeah, you, yeah, you
I need ice, cold water
I need ice, cold water
She needs ice, cold water
She needs ice, cold water
She needs ice, cold water
She needs ice, cold water

'No, not too close to me

Give me what I want
Give me what I need
I said, I'm begging you, please
I'm down on my knees
Give me what I want
Give me what I need
I said, I'm begging you, please
I'm down on my knees
Give me what I want
Give me what I need
I said, I'm begging you, please
I'm down on my knees
Give me what I want
Give me what I need
I said, I'm begging you, please
I'm down on my knees
Give me what I want now, baby
Give me what I want
Give me what I need
I said, I'm begging you, please
I'm down on my knees
Give me what I want
Give me what I need
I said, I'm begging you, please
I'm down on my knees
Give me what I want
Give me what I need
I said, I'm begging you, please
I'm down on my knees
Give me what I want
Give me what I need
I said, I'm begging you, please
I'm down on my knees
Give me what I want
Give me what I need
I said, I'm begging you, please
I'm down on my knees
Give me what I want
Give me what I need
I said, I'm begging you, please
I'm down on my knees
Give me what I want
Give me what I need
I said, I'm begging you, please
I'm down on my knees
Give me what I want
Give me what I need
I said, I'm begging you, please
I'm down on my knees

Friday Fish Fry

This call-and-response nod to Rockabilly is one of six songs on Kelis' Food album that have culinary-themed titles. Kelis told The Sun that she never specifically decided on a food theme, they just all came together that way. "The titles of the songs were put on as working titles, then the title of the album came later," she said. "Someone asked me what I wanted to call it an flippantly I was like, 'Food.' And then I thought, 'You know, that's a perfect name - I'm gonna keep it.'"
