Cosmik Debris |
|
The mystery man came over |
|
And he said "I'm outta sight!" |
|
He said for a nominal service charge |
|
I could reach nirvana tonight |
|
If I was ready, willing and able |
|
To pay him his regular fee |
|
He would drop all the rest of |
|
His pressing affairs and devote |
|
His attention to me |
|
But I said "Look here brother |
|
who you jiving with that cosmik debris? |
|
Now who you jiving with that cosmik debris? |
|
Look here brother, don't waste your time on me" |
|
The mystery man got nervous |
|
And he fidget around a bit |
|
He reached in the pocket of his mystery robe |
|
And he whipped out a shaving kit |
|
Now I thought it was a razor |
|
And a can of foaming goo |
|
But he told me right then when the top popped open |
|
There was nothin' his box won't do |
|
With the oil of Aphrodite, and the dust of the Grand Wazoo |
|
He said "You might not believe this, little fella |
|
But it'll cure your asthma too" |
|
And I said "Look here brother |
|
Who you jiving with that cosmik debris? |
|
Now what kind of a guru are you, anyway? |
|
Look here brother, don't waste your time on me" |
|
*(Don't waste your time)* |
|
"I've got troubles of my own", I said |
|
"And you can't help me out |
|
So, take your meditations and your preparations |
|
And ram it up your snout!" |
|
"But I got the crystal ball", he said |
|
And held it to the ligh |
|
So I snatched it, all away from him |
|
And I showed him how to do it right |
|
I wrapped a newspaper 'round my head |
|
So I looked like I was deep |
|
I said some mumbo-jumbo, then |
|
I told him he was going to sleep |
|
I robbed his rings and pocketwatch |
|
And everything else I found |
|
I had that sucker hypnotized |
|
He couldn't even make a sound |
|
I proceeded to tell him his future, then |
|
As long as he was hanging around |
|
I said "The price of meat has just gone up |
|
And your old lady has just gone down!" |
|
And I said "Look here brother-who you |
|
Jiving with that cosmik debris? |
|
Now is that a real poncho or is that a Sears poncho? |
|
Don't you know, you could make more money as a butcher? |
|
So, don't waste your time on me" |
|
Don't waste it, don't waste your time on me |
|
*(Shante)* |
