Lyrics
I saw a friend of mine today
I encountered a friend today.
In an ad sayin' what would do my body good
Saw an advertisement suggesting what would benefit my body.
I told him he was wasting time I say
I informed him that he was wasting time.
If God wanted milk in me
If God intended me to have milk, the breast I suck would have a waiting line.
The breast I suck would have a line around the hood
Expressing a humorous notion that if milk consumption were intended, there would be a queue around the breastfeeding area.
