have you seen the shirt yet?... it says "I want a Claire Huxtable" on the front of it...
There's been a lot of talk about this Claire Huxtable t-shirt recently... so here's the word... the shirt was made as a promo t-shirt for "Shad" (www.shadk.com). Shad's a young hip hop artist from london, ontario (canada!)... and "I want a Claire Huxtable" is a line from his track "Out of Love".
Check the lyrics:
Out Of Love
Written by: Shad
Verse 1 -
Now I'm supposed to be cool under the collar
A student of the dollar
A proven scholar in a school of commerce
A dude whos smooth and stalwart
Who'll never lose his calm or
Drool and slober like a fool
And fall for a doll like Julia Roberts
But still they get to me
Like destiny's child don't drive me wild
Intellectually, but they fresh to see
I guess I'm being a misogynist
And I acknowledge this
The problem is
I just don't see all girls as goddesses
"˜cause so often of them I think less
Like Princess, why's this silly pseudo-pimp
Pressed against your pink dress?
When he drinks Ex, does his stink breath impress?
Cuz he has no genuine interest and he only thinks sex
Not your heart, soul, or IQ - and why do I know this?
Oh miss, I try boo but I'm a guy too
And so I'm qualified to say
That what a lot of guys display
Are just some hollow lies devised to get play
But I wont apologize "˜cause most of ya'll ain't slow chicks
With no wits, so when a pro approaches you should know this
It's easy decoding the motives of these horny guys
You're roses but the thorns you expose keep me torn inside
And keep me writing poems devoted to my corny side
So I'll probably still be home with my folks when I'm 45
But"¦ I'm Out of Love "¦
Verse 2 -
So I'm not quick to give props to cute
Chicks though they're hot "˜cause dude
The awful truth is when it comes to love
They ain't gots a clue
Like how does Pretty Woman constitute a romance?
Some old man that's got some loot knockin' boots with a prostitute?!
So homie don't be lead astray in any way
When women say they want a man
they mean a wallet and a wedding day
still them girls with extensions in their hair
and pretentious inner wear
they leave me all defenseless in their stares
but they don't care for my attention
which is senseless "˜cause I swear
