lyrics

(Verse 1)
Let the umm
Dark chocolate mocha spark my chakras and unclot the spot thats clogging my thought process
Hop out of bed to unblock my inner prophet
Lock myself in a room until my health is a tomb
I want my soul to glow through every solo that I blow I focus in like a pose in a dojo
I might ball like nike mojo just toss me a cup of jo and I drop into my zone
I got the power to tackle a hundred foes while I'm shackled in a hole with an elephant on my skull
People are ants, I'm a tarantula
Feeling like every track I craft is a masterpiece on the roll
Like my caravan when I jump it over a mega ramp and pull the E break to slip back in my gypsy camp
That's my kumpania
Gather round I'll drop the scoop on ya

(Verse 2)
I really dig it when I really dig into my subconscious combine everything I ever thought at one time
And when the planets align
I walk on the pacific sea like Jesus sandals were mine
I'm too unspecific to see what I actually want to be
Come listen to me I'll confuse you too
Stick two words together then perform some voodoo
Let you view it and now I got a hand in your mind
Somebody stop that raggedy rad kid rocking loafers and rags from brainwashing us with his pantomimes
Got stressed depressed but now I'm fine still I can't recline
Ask me any question I probably answer in rhyme
Matter of fact, I pry open my third cataract
Spark the chakra with the dark chocolate mocha now that I shine

(piano solo)

(Verse 3)
My dad told me my bars were too cerebral
I told my dad his cerebral was too barred
Two bars in I'm about to be too far out the realm of the radar I guess I'll just cruise farther
Intellect kicked raspier than chewbacca
Celebrate the outcome like booyaka booyaka
I clocked into work paper back under my arm
Find myself in a novel exiled by Mustapha
Swapping literature on the railroad tracks where you'll find me when the world finally cracks
Matter of fact I'm bending words like the sword on Count Duku's
Kick the system like McMurphy when he flew over the Cuckoo's nest
Yelling look who's back and look who's just alone at home reading just to look my best
I've been looking for new hobbies because rapping's a synch
Conduct myself with the character of Atticus Finch
Avoid a brainwashed culture like the savages did
It's not A Brave New World it's an enslave you world
I'm Bobby Pendragon fluming in to save the world
I'm John Mayer waiting on someone to change the world
I'm myself
By myself ninety percent of the time unintentionally different
Been depressed since 5th grade thanks to Lemony Snicket
Now when life hands me lemons I start snickering after I vanish from view of the telescreen
Those dagnab thought police been trying to vaporize me for 33 years consecutively
They haven't caught me yet
Second time I felt a threat I fled to Ankeny alley grabbed some voodoo doughnuts declared myself as a scalawag
Ran a couple vocal numbers with O'malley then ran across Burnside without stopping to check
