“Your nine spray, my mind spray” - Sample from Jeru the Damaja - “Come Clean” (x3)
[Verse 1: Chubb Rock]
I can
Taste your sex appeal, ready for the sweet sperming
Bank accounts all full, love interest be earning
Ben Franklins determine if you get that higher learning
The Million Man March starring Mark Furhman (It can happen)
Lyrical lawn is the charm for the rapping
Give spliff aromas, cause many fetal comas—no blood donors!
I credit diabetics who drink sodas
While in the pens lie the roughneck soldiers—what happened?
Niggas must have napped! What happened to all of that
Malcolm X shit before he got trapped? Before he got capped?
What I mean “capped”? When they put his name on all those cute little
Spike Lee hats and then they say, “Black is back” way when
Niggas now only care about the rent
And how to pay rent and how their trife squad spend
Black powder nose, Land Cruise or Range Rove’, why you
Running for when you’re 4Running? Nigga, who drove
Your mind?

[Verse 2: Chubb Rock]
From the inner sanctum that embruised my medulla, you can
Praise Buddha or you can hail Don Shula, you can
Change a religious title or go praise gold
Idols. No slug, just go read your bible
I’ll insinuate the hate that made the hate kids fight
Whether you’re Muslim, Christian, or Israelite
We monitor who really praised Hanukah. The
Power that I amp will make you blow your Yamaha. To
All ya, don’t let me scream up to call ya
My Flatbush dushies or the kids down in Somalia
While we’re up here, trying to wiggle to “Boombastic,” you’ll get
Hemmed up and cut down in Park Jurassic, you’re crazed
From that beer juice, acute angles become
Obtuse. Four white kids was the first rock group
Not! Rabblerousing in with the chime
Laced with the fat rhyme tunneled through my mind

[Verse 3: Chubb Rock]
Now from
The minds of Minolta, from the nickel-plate poster, from the
Average jack wack crackheads with Oprah, as for
Safe sex with rubbers, as for rappers turning mothers
As for 2Pacs on the covers, as for Million March brothers in ‘96
While we pinpoint the “Crooklyn” Spike joint
Three kings of the break of dawn become vocal pawns
The circumference of the Bedouins, or is it the thespians?
For the past three years, I’ve been eating more than lesbians
Lyricists get fist, twist, careers become tears
Easy gold records but with no publishing shares
When I bellow over a hardcore track with a cello
Lyrical structure, bass theme from a fellow. Hello! Street nucks
Can’t knuckle. Billboard chart bullets? We chuckle. A&R
Stars become bourgeoisies but subtle. Why
Is it the master can’t behave with the slave chime?
Or is it over the domes of weak minds?
The mind

Ahhh! Ahhh!
