The nightcap was exiledsteadily profiled

As the underachievin non-believin can't stand to reason

Where's your daddy boy - to categorize the drinker

Misunderstood to make the ordeal linger

They label me a problem child who can't cope

Hangin by a threadyes a very thin rope

Inevitablycan never be the man can I tell ya

Visualize and memorize him in a cellar

Well tally-hopip-pipmy fam's gonna catch a fit

My father lookin like he wanna bust my lip

But that was never good for my health

So I take the shovel out my pocket and dig myself

Now when I look at the man in the mirror

I see things much more clearer my lord

I'm not that popularless than a dollar

But the ? I pack can make you holla

I saidwhat you don't know could make a whole new world

Man.. listen! I'm set to sabotage premonition

Your propagandacrooked type of version

Some of the things I bringyou're babblin non-person

Imbedded in my characterrebel nostalgia

Uncommon valor who'd rather

Have no man-made religion or sect

But try to believe what you conceive may be half correct

I shed lightto show the path in sight

Cause a man who can't treat you right can't teach you right

In front of your eyeswhat a surpriseand let the nature

Risejust for the girls and the guys

A phi-slamma-jamma when you wear a bandanna

Peace to pop dukesand long live nana

The formula's realitypete rock's the storm

Togetherforeveryes g we got it goin on

Internal affairsflippin hollywood squares

In search of the mecca many travel in pairs

Walked the slave ship? ? the side of ningamora? ? 

To support a short order when I freak it on a corner

Five-oh cruisindecide to pull you over

Beefin"where's the coke? " I said"a six-pack of soda? "

The rookie's lookin thirstybut everything's mental

A baseball batto smack shirley in the temple

Agreed to meet the maker so I yelled hail mary's

And flew that headto hit the house on the prairie

But the past can never choose my future correctly

I found a greater source directly

On and onkeep it onyou chant the

Boppin simonizedpullin you clockwise jammie

To quickly skip the minimal tipI dap for the wise I dip

Can anyone seephenomenallyto the last degree? 

I capitalize subliminallywreck for positivity

Yes my little chickadeeready to flow with me

Nevertheless I blessfollow me and see

Predominantlycl'll beall in the family

God bless marky blackknow we go way back

The lyrics I pack is like a needle in the haystack

Cl and pete rocksmooth like dom perignon

Never tornword is bondwe got it goin on
