YES! |
|
Everybody gather closer |
|
Welcome to the Fish Outta Water |
|
Move your body, pack this party |
|
Focus closest let's get focused |
|
Welcome to my hairbrain meeting |
|
packed like some economy airplane seating |
|
try to compete and get your fair game beating |
|
but I set off alarms if you share the same greeting |
|
discretion if your eyes are timid |
|
sky's the limit |
|
first impression as it applies to gimmicks |
|
I'm old school like my gram's old shovers |
|
...like a manhold cover |
|
Rap ... |
|
Keep 'em hanging like plastic straws or strapless bras |
|
We make 'em sizzle like devils in damn rain |
|
The king, like Martin Luther or Evelyn Champaign |
|
Dirt hustle with a hurt muscle |
|
I watched hip hop escape from New York like Kurt Russel |
|
it spread west like a virus airborne |
|
and it's heard best when it's supplied in rare form, yeah |
|
Hey |
|
it's been a long time comin' |
|
a strong rhyme and some Cheech and Chong mind numbin' |
|
pidgeon-holed by people who hate change |
|
This isn't broken and can never be maintained |
|
and now I estimate or purplex the bait |
|
or how they investigate and suppress the hate |
|
Mistaken these fake fans for great friends |
|
They secretly shake hands and straight grin |
|
collateral damage... |
|
they splatter your cabbage and your cadaver can vanish |
|
but hear what (what?) |
|
I spill emotions while making you feel the same shit |
|
you rappers are sweeter than pixie stix |
|
I'm screamin \"fuck George Bush\" like the Dixie Chicks |
