well back in the days they told me hip hop pays so i says i strays aways from L.A.`s average cause C.k-in` and B.k-in`* was bein` a savage (* refering to Crips and Bloods maybe?) and M.C.-in` and DJ-in` was bringin` the cabbage now it ain`t like a nigger talking hella late in the game i`m talkin `80 ace deuce nobody think about truce no Menace no Boys In The Hood no Juice it was more like Coolie High and niggers truly die like they do when i found out you got to choose your path i knew not red and blue the blackness is true my tactics was new that`s when the practice grew and i flew i wanted to be a rapper so simple and plain from Los Angeles city of the big bang theory where everyone is leery now a whole mess of MC`s fear me but it`s important everybody hear me as i tell you about the unwanted man who got blunted and took what he can and he ran from city to city and town to town bouncin` around like he`s about to blow the world up cause his mind`s not dormant anymore his door`s ajar and his jar`s full of somethin` else now everyone knows that scarecrows w/velcro hair ain`t real yeah but if your psyche is likely to be spilled ain`t no tellin` you`ll be sailin` across the seas like Magellan way out your range and since i don`t speak greek stranger i`m a (?let me?) give it to you in layman`s terms so you`ll learn i paid the piper i`m gon` pick the tune but i don`t listen to music like that so
