Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Darker than the East River, larger than the Empire State
Where the beast who guard the barbed-wire gate is on the job, not my fate
Tired of the wait till the villain bring deliverance from the dire straits
Fire at a higher rate, while they make the liars' fliers scatter
Buy a plate, isolate the wires
Try the straight pliers
If not, the vice grips
A real price-saver way to acquire nice whips
What a steal for real on wheels of steel
Stunner, a funner summer number-one, meal-deal bummer
A bizarre phenomenon
Is your armor on?
Take your cash, karma, or break your fast, Ramadan
Transaction drama, aw, come on, Barney
Clack clack, pardon me, wack rap con carne
He came to feed the childrens like Sally Struthers
After that he's goin' back to Cali, where's the
[Verse 2]
(Love is)
Wilder than the Nile
Hold power like the great pyramids of Giza
And stay leanin' like the Tower of Pisa
Give him something he can feel that's soft to squeeze-a
Raw with the pen and on the mic off the heez-a
Get shot off that wide-eyed talk
And if he had a pot, he'd still piss on the sidewalk
You can't take the street out the street person
Lookin' for the perfect beat, coercin' into heat burstin'
They couldn't spot him on a spot date
Got the only tape that come with a free hot plate
Whoever do get to see me sing
With the 3D ring, sittin' stationary like B.B. King
Can see how it really sting, it ain't no front row
Standing room only at the motocross stunt show
The roughest ain't up to Snuffleupagus
Me and Sub is like the brown Smothers Brothers
[Verse 3]
(My love is)
Vaster than the seven seas
Bigger than Mount Kilimanjaro
If they don't know, fill 'em in tomorrow
On the horror show
A mental note, return Bob's record
Swear to God, before he gets a job, he robs Eckerd
Blessed with a hot flow, tested it, got dough
Invested in stress, the best to finesse a opto
As I reminisce, never forgot when I was very broke
Shot the Henny straight, couldn't afford to cop the cherry Coke
Or should I say broke with wealth?
To know enough to give 'em just enough rope to yoke they self
Plan B, before I take the ring and pawn it
The long arm of the law couldn't even put they fingers on it
Doggone it, do the statistics
How he bust lyrics is too futuristic for ballistics
And far too eccentric for forensics
I dedicate this mix to Subroc, the hip-hop Hendrix
