Put down the linoleum!
cause those pants are 2 new for you to get a hole in them
And I know I'm not the only one
to stay around cyphers all day
Like the beasts that patrol the slums
peace to young and older suns, moons, stars
whether you large or starvin living out ya used car
you are a chosen one
now get out ya shell & shine
you can bounce. whatever fine
just without embellished rhymes
without a doubt no better time than now
don 't be stagnant
there's not a moment passin that'll go with no reaction
if you think you're so enchanting that your show's the lone attraction
then move over fast cuz no one lasts
(you know) you're over acting
don't be so dramatic over nothing,
getting [ralled] up
being the man on stolen land is not much to be proud of
