Humble Mumble (feat. Erykah Badu)

Ah, I stank I can, I stank I can

The funky engine that could

Ooh, ooh, yosky, wosky, pisky, wisky

All aboard the Stankonia Express

The underground smell road

Everybody's lookin' for an excuse to let loose

What's your locomotive, the Chatta-**** choo choo?

Humble as a mumble in the jungles

Of shouts and screams

That's the way the cracker crumbles

So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams

Humble as a mumble in the jungles

Of shouts and screams

That's the way the cracker crumbles

So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams

Back on the microphone, your number one controller

I rock the microphone like a blizzard; I'm so cold I'm tryna told ya

Life is like a great big roller coaster

Everything in life don't always happen like it's supposed to

Trials and tribulations make you stronger, live longer

You wanna reach the nation, ****, start from ya corner

Everything don't always happen like you plan it

Demand it; overstand it then you handle it

**** wishing, you missing the ambition on your mission

Now you switchin'

Why you quittin' 'cause it's heated in the kitchen?

Sloppy slipping in your pimpin' ****

You either pistol whoop the **** or you choke the trigger

You've gots to follow through, struggle to complete your dreams

"No Weapon Formed Against You Prospers" 54:17

From Isaiah, lay a, **** down and spray 'em

If the dealer dealt a **** up hand of cards you've gotta play 'em

Humble as a mumble in the jungles

Of shouts and screams

That's the way the cracker crumbles

So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams

Humble as a mumble in the jungles

Of shouts and screams

That's the way the cracker crumbles

So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams

Yeah, too Democratic, Republic **** it

We chicken nugget, we dip in the sauce like mop and bucket

Blue-collar scholars, who'll take your dolla, and wipe my **** with it

You living for the lotto never hit it

I met a critic, I made her **** her draws

She said she thought Hip Hop was only guns and alcohol

I said "Oh hell naw!", but yet it's that too

You can't discrima-hate cause you done read a book or two

What if I looked at you in a microscope, saw all the dirty organisms

Living in your closet, would I stop and would I pause it? Whoo

To put that **** in slower motion, got the potion and the antidote

And a quote for collision, the decision

Yeah, do you want to live or wanna exist?

The game changes every day, so obsolete is the fist and marches

Speeches only reaches those who already know about it

This is how we go about it

Humble as a mumble in the jungles

Of shouts and screams

That's the way the cracker crumbles

So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams

Humble as a mumble in the jungles

Of shouts and screams

That's the way the cracker crumbles

So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams

I'm wild, just like a rock, a stone, a tree

And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows

And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain

And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky

And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked

And dragged away and thrown away

And then one day, it turns to clay

It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way

And there it lays, until the rain and sun

Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows

And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding

And it's beautiful, that's life and that's life (Ahh)

And that's life and that's life

Humble as a mumble in the jungles

Of shouts and screams

That's the way the cracker crumbles

So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams

Humble as a mumble in the jungles

Of shouts and screams

That's the way the cracker crumbles

So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams

Humble as a mumble in the jungles

Of shouts and screams

That's the way the cracker crumbles

So I guess I've gotta re-route my dreams

Y'all can't harm me, it's over

Shhhh

Hush

Shhhh

Hush

Shhhh

Hush

Shhhh

Hush
