The 'Yippie-Yi-Yo,' that's everybody's happy, right? 'And everybody was having a ball.' Life was going great. The lyric of the song says, 'The party was nice, the party was pumpin'.'

So I keep my 66 strapped on my side, ready to stab or lie down in the lair, So, follow closely to what's being said, and you'll find my lines be more than words that rhyme,īut, to the god of this world, it's very scary, wishing he could set fire to my library, where my notes and quotes reside,

Strongholds -I'm breaking, and kingdoms - I'm taking by force, To those dwelling in the body, it be strengthening, To the unconscious being, it's a spiritual awakening, So I sit and create a tape that variates in styles and sounds, but keep it underground,Īttracting the red, the yellow, the white, the black, the brown as I'm breaking down barriers, exploring new areas in a fade,Ĭreating skill that, when bumped, use your brush like a bungee jump, Now a vibe is a feeling, and a feeling is an emotion.and I know emotions are unstable like the ocean, Turn it up and let it bump when you ride. Turn it up and let it bump when you ride, That lets me know what I wrote didn't stick in their soul, 'cause if it did they'd already know my vibe. Why they stare, trying to figure out what makes the hood tick? Yeah, that's the ingredients to my flavour, my peculiar behaviour,īe keeping them in a daze, straight lost in bewilderment, Got to make that cabbage to pay my rent.but first I'm breaking off God with his ten percent, 'cause I'm obedient, With a abstract style, just like Lenny Kravitz, I got the whole crowd tripping off the rhymes I be flipping up like a tossed pen, Man, when I go to sleep I be dreaming of beats or a spotlight shining on me when I rock this mic, which I grip tight, Not a fad or a phase that'll fade away, but I breathe in holy hip-hop every day,Īlways snapping a finger or tapping my feet, So I stay prepared, 'cause this is my nine to five, Never know when my thoughts might drop something live, Homie's got a notebook and number two pencil, I got that hip-hop, the bosom singing trunk hard,Ĭooling out with my dogs in the front yard,
