I’m like Malcolm Gladwell, pseudoscientific

My cat swell hit it til the cat swell

Did it like Nina did to Jacques Brel

Or not quite but yo yo, yo yo yo

At least I’m not white right?

Nah, who cares, language is fatal but who’s scared?

Elevator to the top, I don’t do stairs

See me with Demi Moore, Afeni Shakur

Hey yo I’m lamping from Havana to Panama

I got Remy to pour

Check your pores, why you sweating me for?

Yo, get out the kitchen, why you checking the recipe for?

I step in the door and it smell like a medicine store

Advil, aspirin, Tylenol, Excedrin, more

I’d be telling you more, but my melon is sore

Yo, whoa, no, my melanin’s sore

Young riddle-me-this type

Black on white knife to fist fight

I’m at the People’s Temple reaching for that purple stuff

Brian Jones couldn’t massacre half as raw

Nah, my math is off

Cop me a calculator plus a spaceship, I’m blasting off

Drunk on Youtube, Hasselhoff

I’m signing autographs for German rap fans with flash cams taking snaps of my rap hands

I’m ham-handedly grabbing the cash as fast as I can

I don’t even know how long it’ll last, man

This too shall pass and that too shall pass and um

Throwing your Tascam in the trash can

Run your kicks, plus your 606

Yeah, run your gate, I mean, wait, your grapes

Plus your 808s, that’s exactly, yo, 808s, right?

Tame jerks trying to box me and lock me like I’m James Kirkland

No who cares, language is fatal but who’s scared

All around the world same song, brain gone like a Scarecrow

Wiz kid path narrow, fly like high like sparrow, young black pharaoh

Ahaha, yeah yeah yeah, young black teenagers, I got three pagers

I don’t see haters, haters don’t see me

I’m just a mp3, empty three b-e-e-r-s up into the gullet

‘Cause fuck it I’m in the forest, I’m in the forest

Call me George, I’m georgous, I mean I’m gorgeous

The human orchid, racks on racks stacked on backs of tortoise

Scorpio but still flourish like a Taurus

Multi-seasonal see me in all meals

A-do-do-da-da-ding-ding-ding

Hunters Point, nigga, I’m nasty V, but Alameda actually

I’m Elian Gonzalez, I’m being honest

My politic too organic to understand it

I oughta quit, maybe I oughta not

Thought a bit about it for a second, so probably not

Cold but sweet like an Otter Pop

Know a lot of tricks but nut(?) a lot

Say hello to all the chicks up in the parking lot

Aha, used to spark a lot, in the parking lot

You could’ve called me Sir Sparkalot

Yeah, operation Peter man, I mean Peter Pan man child, exactly that

Man, if my granddaddy could see his damn grandchild wonder what he would say and shit

I know, I know, I talk a lot but it sounds like I ain’t saying shit

I don’t how to feel about the game but I’m playing it

Think I’m doing OK and shit, I’m saying shit

Fools be like "yo, how you do that, bro?"

I don’t even know it’s just natural

But actually that’s not even the question to ask though

But what’s the question to ask? You might ask though like I’m teaching a class

No, I’m just letting your ass know

Collect a couple bills, sit still, watch the grass grow

Man, just don’t let them snipe you on the tax though

They treat you like a child make them wipe you on the ass too

You could laugh, they could laugh too

And who laughs last and who’s who?
