about

there are only a few other raps that I know of that have been written and performed in 5/4 time. I was excited to set myself this challenge because of my drumming background which was rich in jazz... but I've never had the guts to try it again!

lyrics

You maintained a claim that you were dope but where's the evidence at?
I keep my credentials safe underneath this medicine hat
Bakayaro, you'll drop like a ton of bricks, drink
Tea of the rose hips and today the sun's eclipsed
Once terrific, persona-non-grata
Self-propelled, dead in the water
Connection made, send and recieve
Carrier dropped, bend and retrieve
Never meant to believe, incredulous
Unable to grasp what's been said to us
Lazarus project, resurrected in Nazareth
Call me mister synonym for hazardous
Gather us together, transport in cattle cars
We'll write our names on one another in battle scars
..Out for the fame, recognition
Advance Dungeons and Dragons, second edition
Wrecking magicians, hunting bakuretsu
Fronting hard like no attack will get through
Said to be invincible, or at least a bad ass
Focus on the family, word to Natas Kaupas
Show us courtesy, give us our daily dose
Lunatic P, Neptune and Helios
Mares eat oats, but Ginzu3 already told you that
And went on to twist it into a vulgar rap
Holler at me, pigeons and scrubs alike
Make your own de-cisions, for the love of mike
Suffer the slings and arrows of fate
Outrageously close, a narrow escape
There I was, nape of my neck exposed
To vampires, and had to wait for the next episode
Same bat time and bat channel, guys
Rock it in five and find yourself analyzed

(George Carlin: Occupation Foole; "He's good, God damn!")

Once terrific, persona-non-grata
Self propelled, dead in the water
Connection made, send and receive
Carrier dropped, bend and retreive
Never meant to decieve, unfortunate
Tugging at my sleeve, importunate
Quit forcing it, let it flow
You heard it but don't get it, though
Partisan politics, different ball of wax
Wait until you've got all the facts straight
Master Ace, a walk in the valley
Eighty-Eight, rocking the Ballys
Kangol, Cazals, Adidas
Visited our private hells and freed us
Off of the pointed stick into the campfire
The Rebels can be as bad as the Empire
Strike that iron while it's hot and malleable
My philosophy is not infallible
Animal . impulses
The robot . convulses
Thin skull syndrome, not strong
A prisoner in your own dot com
Listener, you've fought long for this
But tell me it's not ominous that
Things are starting to fall into place
I assembled the great pyramid from Kinder Eggs
Win the race to lose your ego and your
House was built by Ivo Shandor
(4/4)
Candour reigns mainly on the plains of fascination
Premature emasculation from the strains of adulation
Trust exaggeration, I think I may have lost you with
Invisible kissable huggable squeezable lovable feasible postulates

Lost your wits? Please don't hesitate
To borrow mine along a straight and narrow line
Oh Carolina, raas bumba claat
Espousing misogyny cause your tongue to rot
Understand son, you're not equipped
In this neighborhood, run your hockey stick
Three fingers sticky from the honey pot
Get ready, here it goes - that's the money shot
