lyrics

Chorus
Im a U-N-D-E-R
A-C-H- I ever, forever
Yeah I know I can do better
Yeah yeah I know whatever

Verse1
New Jordan tennis shoes, on couch watching comic view
Coffee table coated in the chronic residue
spinning on the turntables, Eating up all the fruity pebbles
Big Mama in the back checking her sugar levels
Head barely above water like submarine periscope
All day at home waiting on government envelopes
Sitting so cool smoking my mentholated Camels and Kools
Drinking kool-aid at the neighborhood swimming pools
Cooler than church fans with funeral homes on the cover
Cooler than a naked headed lover under covers with no rubbers
Ramen noodles and hamburger helper in abundant portions
Sickle cell, HIV and late-term abortions
The horses under my delta 88 lets me know that im great
My Forces were worn by the greatest players in 1988
Moses, Dantley, Moncrief
My flow and my talent is beyond belief


Verse2
Now heres some food for thought, you do the dishes
I got an appetite for destruction, fast money, and bitches
A reciepe for death, Invation to procrastinaton
Never one to bust my ass like masterbation
Don’t tell me you like my charisma and swagger
You might as well drill me in the heart with the dagger
Cause without a focus that shit don’t matter
Without drive and purpose your worthless
A disservice like jack n the box drive thru workers
Cursing your orders, putting spit in your burgers
Cursing your seeds for infinite lives like the contra code
Up up, down down, left right, left right, B A so
I skeeball my way thru the game of life
My flow is destined for heaven cause I know im nice
A giant amoung men, a man amoung mice
Its time to get it right and make it come back twice

Verse 3
People always afraid of criticism scary
So what my voice don’t carry
My voice mix match the tempo and marry
The beat like my cousins andre and terri(RIP)
Or her parents my auntie gwen and uncle larry(RIP)
So today I decide to climb out of your prisons and bury
all these crabs in barrel, hanging on to the slab as I barrel
Down the avenue, brother I aint even mad at you
Nobody criticizes the moon for taking the suns shine
So im what im saying is….son…shine
Shit go get yours, get mine, leave the non believers blind
Make em respect your mind
The green devil not only comes from bottles of absinth
let the green in your eyes be hollow and absent
let go of the hate, let go of the malice
Kings of this rap thing, who’s palace?
