I Wish For Peace
Between The Races Someday We Shall All Be One
Why Fight Yourself
This One's Called Rectify There's Something
Coming To The
Surface There's Fire All Around But This Is An Illusion
I've Seen Better
Days Than This One I've Seen Better Nights Than
This One Tension
Is Rebuilding Something's Got To Give
Someday We Shall
All Be One
Jesus Christ
We're Nice
I don't see things
quite the same as I used to
As I live my
life I've got just me to be true to
And when I find
that I don't know about
Just what to
do
I turn and look
within to see what I should do
Now I'm not
sure what it takes to be hip
A lot of people
making music that to be ain't shit
So I ask creation
For rhymes for
this jam
Gimme lickle
solo and I'll take the mic stand
Love vibe
As the earth
spins into brand new day
I see the light
on the horizons's not fading away
Gonna shine
from within like a bright white sun
No need to hide
and no place to run
Got the vibrations
of the music
Bringing light
to your mind
So you can move
and groove
And feel the
beat of the time
Sense the power
in the air as it starts to move
You get a real
good feeling that you just can't lose
Contemplation
time, intuition time
Evolution time,
resolution time
Free your mind
it's time for good times
And let yourself
move it's a time to shine
Spread your
wings in the sky, feelin' good inside
Breaking fool
with no need to hide
I got the music
cuttin' throught me
Takin' control
of my soul
I can't hold
back I've got to let go
Stand together
people come together now
It's about time
we've got to get together y'all
Pow
Who is the man
coming down your block
It's me you
see with the funk in my walk
'Cause I'm doin'
just what I like to
Today is my
day and I'm a get nice too
You gotta keep
movin' and you can't say nothing
I'm a keep bouncin'
and bumpin' and stuffin'
One thing you
ought to know---I am the maestro
(Speech)
I feel like
Rufus Thomas
The crown prince
of dance
I'm Mike D and
I'm known for romance
I'm the crazy
baldhead with the part on the side
And I'm riding
down the block
Like I'm on
a water slide
'Cause it's
the type of day
I feel like
pressing my luck
'Cause I got
nothing to lose
'Cause I don't
give a fuck
See I'm a player
I play
Don't play to
win I play to show
I am the maestro!
(Routine, then
speech)
Who is the man.
Well,
Back to the
beat y'all,
Down with the
sound so sweet y'all
Just how fresh
can you get y'all
Those that are
blessed say yes y'all
'Cause I'm a
come inside and do my thing
I'm gonna take
off my drawers and let myself swing
Tantalize my
tummy with a boo boo snack
But now I got
to get back
Gonna break
it down to the nitty grit
Gonna tell you
motherfuckers
Why you ain't
shit
'Cause suckers
like you
Just make me
strong
When you're
popping that bullshit all day long
I'm gonna bust
my shoes I'm gonna bust my socks
I'm gonna spread
my word
>From standing
on this box
This drive through
world it just ain't right
Gonna run to
Joe and Tony's
And get my hair
cut nice
Well come on
y'all and let's work it out
I'm trying to
get up
So don't you
get me down
Life I love
you now give me a pound
Up from the
frying pan into the fire
Look within
and try to admire what's going on
I Ride On The
Bus Into The City Everyday
I Sit On My
Seat And I Dream Myself Away
I Dream I'm
On An Island With That Foxy Lady Too
But When I Awaken
I Must Be Mistaken I'm On Third Avenue
Won't You Take
Me Away And Take Away Me
Well, I got more
bounce to the fuckin' bump
And then you
want to know
Why it's cause
I'm motherfuckin' truckin'
I'm in the pocket
just like Grady Tate
I got supplies
of beats so you don't have to wait
'Cause I'm the
master blaster
Drinking up
the shasta
My voice sounds
sweet 'cause it has to
So light a match
to my ass 'cause I'm blown up
I'd like to
thank the people for just showin' up
But now I want
y'all to move it
Put your point
on the floor and just prove it
And I'm smurfin
not rehearsin' gettin' live y'all
A little puffy
so you know what I'm doin' right
'Cause that's
the kind of frame of mind I'm in
I got a feelin'
that's back again
So don't touch
me 'cause I'm electric
And if you touch
me you'll get shocked!
You've got the
boomin' system
But it's blasting
out doo-doo
You think it's
chocolate milk
But it's watered
down yoo-hoo
I've been through
many times
In which I thought
I might lose it
The only thing
that saved me
Has always been
music
We've got our
own studio the son of the G
It's no question
life's been good to me
'Cause life
ain't nothing but a good groove
A good mix tape
to put you in the right mood
This one goes
out to my man the Groove Merchant
Coming through
with beats
For which I've
been searching
Like two sealed
copies of expansions
I'm like Tom
Vu with yachts and mansions
The logo I sport
is the face of the monkey
Union made Ben
Davis quality it's no junk see
My chrome is
shining just like an icicle
I ride around
town on my low-rider bicycle.
So many wack
M.C.'s
You get the
T.V. bozack
Ain't even gonna
call out your names
'Cause you're
so wack
But one big
oaf whose faker than plastic
A dictionary
definition of the word spastic
You should have
never started something
That you couldn't
finish
'Cause writin'
rhymes to me
Is like Popeye
to spinach
I'm bad ass
move your fat ass
'Cause you're
wack son
Dancin' around
like you think you're Janet Jackson
Thought you
could walk on me
To get some
ground to walk on
I'll put the
rug out under your ass
As I talk on
I'll take you
out like a sniper on a roof
Like an M.C.
at the fever in the D.J. booth
With your headphones
strapped
You're rockin'
rewind pause
Tryin' to figure
out what you can do to go for yours
But liek the
pencil to the paper I got more to come
One after another
you can all get some
So you getter
take your time
And meditate
on your rhyme
'Cause your
shit'll be stinking
When I go for
mine
And that's right
y'all don't get uptight y'all
You can't say
shit
Because you're
biting what I write y'all
And that's wrong
y'all over the long haul
You can't cut
the mustard
When you're
fronting it all
A butterfly floats
on the breeze of a sun lit day
As I feel this
reality gently fade away
Riding on a
thought to see where it's from
Gliding through
a memory of a time yet to come
Smoke paints
the air
Swirling images
through my mind
Like a whirlpool
spin beginning to unwind
And I stand
at the edge cautiously awaiting
As time slips
by
Carefully navigating
by the stars in the sky
And I sit
And I think
to myself
And on the horizon
the sun light begins to climb
And it seems
like it's been so long since he shined
But I'm sure
it was only yesterday
A cold chill
of fear cut through me
I felt my heart
contract
To my mind I
brought the image of light
And I expanded
out of it
My fear was
just a shadow
And then I voice
spoke in my head
And she said
dark is not the opposite of light
It's the absence
of light
And I thought
to myself
She knows what
she's talking about
And for a moment
I know
What it was
all about.
