lyrics

The Straw

Chorus
You stepped on a crack and you broke a brother’s back
Reapa blade sharp and he cutting off the wack
Stealth like a ninja, what you never saw
Camel back broke, I am the straw

Verse One
There’s a needle in a haystack, ‘bout to break
Incipient reality that’s exposed as fake
Where Murphy Law rule and it’s ‘bout to go wrong
And the Glad bag filled with your trash ain’t so strong
Playing Sudoku, you trying to get nine
Better hook up with the brother change water to wine
Two up in the bush, with no bird in the hand
Your Survivor episode filmed at Custer’s Last Stand
Smoke, no fire, penny earned, not saved
Nothing to give, so now receive what you gave
The green grass neighbor be the Astro Turf
And you’ll be soft in the head, like the crew at New Birth
This time the worm’ll beat the early bird
Humble pie and the crow, now the dinner is served
Eat some now and you can save some for later
The Silence of the Lamb be the Greatest Debater.

Verse Two
It’s mind over matter
You don’t matter and I don’t mind
Deadly poetry in motion, coming with the dope line
Heard you saying stuff that should never be said
Got a gap up in your head band,
Oops upside your head
He who laugh last, half-assed, be outcast
When my verbal gat take a notion to blast
Grade school, dumb fool, LP dropped
You ‘bout to get me pissed son, so get up off the pot
Bad Daddy dramatic, emphatic with them acrobatics
Clark automatic addict, chilling all the static
You been winging it, but never really bringing it
Now I’m slinging it, got your baby girl jingling
This track’s a killer, like MJ’s Thriller
Goes down smooth, great taste and no filler
So sit back, relax, enjoy the skillz and ride
Shrapnel is removed from the emcee backside.
