lyrics

SAVOIR FAIRE
Ola Onabule @ 2004

Look at you, where did the honey go.
Tell the truth, something I did not know.
So they laugh, what is your beef with that.
Check where your head is at.
get even don’t get mad.

Many reasons why they’d wanna get at ya.
A crazy fascination for making good life harder.
Take the bad karma, turn it into light.
drop the peace and put up a fight.!

So when they see you coming
they wonder about your savoir faire
you get a slick vibe humming
Then you wear it like you don’t even care
Savoir faire

Crying shame, with half of what you got,
In my game, they wouldn’t win a lot.
Still you can’t see, just where the aces are,
Ain’t gonna get you far,
Further than where you are.

Cos I’ve heard them talking, that stuff that’s cheap
In a lifetime of it, aint a thing you’d keep,
Yet you come all charming, like you always been
Kill the nice, it’s time to get mean!

It’s time to show us what you’re made of
You got savoir faire

So when they see you coming
they wonder about your savoir faire
you get a slick vibe humming
Then you wear it like you don’t even care
Savoir faire

Mmm! it’s time to tell em where to get off
Hey! and when you don’t even doubt it

So when they see you coming
they wonder about your savoir faire
you get a slick vibe humming
Then you wear it like you don’t even care
Savoir faire
