Slap me Daft, we sat down in the back of the class
To seize knowledge we donīt need, I forgot my late pass
But Iīm early to a arival beatbox, you got raps?
Meet me on the football field, donīt sleep on field, the quarterback
No one clapped when we locked in, it was removal of our class
But my flag got captured and I fell between the cracks
My tool for inspiration turned into a handicap
No matter how I tried, I just couldnīt fill the gaps
Those whipper snappers, they got trapped old chap
They lost the way, they never had the right map
Needed a sneak attack to slap the demons off my back
So I packed for the schddle dreamed big I wouldnīt settle
Put the pedal to the metal and returned to fundamentals
Iīll never forget running through the hall with all yīall rebels
Roaming through the high land, young bucks invincible
Echoes in my brain, if kids report to the principle
Substance dulls the mind
Traife wine clouds the heart
You canīt sew a stitch with one hand
While youīre taking it apart
Bright lights might look nice
But they sure wonīt make you sharp
You canīt sew a stitch with one hand
While youīre taking it apart
Yeah, misty morning and my mumīs a mess
To make matters worse dog my pops is stressed
Life is a test, make the grade or catch an F
Now death is all thatīs left to ponder
I wander off hoping to catch my breath
Yeah, misty morning and my mumīs a mess
To make matters worse dog my pops is stressed
Life is a test, make the grade or catch an F
Now death is all thatīs left to ponder
I wander off hoping to catch my breath
And hold it, mold my memories from untold scripts
And roll up in a tornado twist, now Iīm certain
Thereīs a pertinent reason Iīm on this earth
Seasons change in white plains, but we remain alert
When new school years appear, fools fear for a failure
And crawl away in tears
I play Popeye the Sailor and stay with spinach
We walk the halls with a grimace
Yeah they gossip in groups
I try to mind my business and tell the truth
For instance, I listen, see it all with basketball court vision
Ignoring ignorance in fields of fiction
We lean back in the calmest position
And embrace the honesty found within our tension
Whatīs good?
Substance dulls the mind
Traife wine clouds the heart
You canīt sew a stitch with one hand
While youīre taking it apart
Bright lights make you blind
But they sure donīt leave you sharp
You canīt sew a stitch with one hand
While youīre taking it apart
Trapped in the elevator of your mind
Is it real, what will you find behind the door
Your imaginations put you in a bind
Around you thereīs a cloud of gloom
Swallow the key, lock yourself in a room
Canīt see outside of your Universe
No more war, there wonīt be anymore hunger
No jealousy, not even competition
Let go, release, you hold the keys
Time we evaporate into the breeze
We are nothing, we are something
Let go, release, you hold the keys
Itīs time we evaporate into the breeze
We are nothing, weīll be something
Welcome to the desert of my soul
You can stay if you like
Thereīs room for one more
Thereīs room for one more
