I jumped on the planet and I on both feet Tippy-toed across the continent, on the dope Settled in the ghetto by the sand trap Rocked to a handclap I got my band back Thoughts came in a ball of confusion A of belusion it's all so amusin I laughed at the pain sometimes a straight face Just another case, you control your fate Ace! walks down the lonely road turned path paved Bask in the cascade, grey circle me Tuned to the so their energy will work on me All in the cut surgery and burnt to the third degree internally, avoid an story 40 and slip of tongue, tryin to bring the poison Step in the spot like I'm not popular like binoculars, I'm so Hip-Hopular Been on the air since Greg had a Mac Now they all CrackerJack, a fact, smell me How can you tell me what I haven't heard Forty-three, 43rd, and observe First flew the coop when they tried to cage a rocking Lookin for the truth in the booth when I Never clip the wings if they seem a out of touch Let 'em fly free please, try to box 'em up
