[The Grouch]
Follow me, follow me
I`m goin.. on a little, excursion
Check it out
Won`t you take me away, sweet music
Take me away..
Never lead me astray, I use it
to get through the day..
Like fiends use drugs and, cars use gas
I`m one with the beat but how long will it last
I, once had a vision that, every flower dies
so now I ride the rhythm without pride
I used to have a gray Sanyo, the kind with one speaker
No antenna I used tinfoil to help me pick the weaker powered
stations of my shit was set on cable, bumpin
Pause record to press just in case I caught somethin
I always did, just a kid and that`s literal
Daddy used to tell me turn that shit off
if I didn`t he would get a fool
I turned it down to dub it, listened to it later
He knew how much I loved it, but rather I`d be a skater
or a baseball player
- C`mon dad, let me just hear it
I said no!
- It`s only five more minutes, please please
- Slick Rick`s about to come on
Go to your room!
So now I`m sixteen, tryin to fuckin mix things
No money in my pockets just desires and some big dreams
My homey got an SP, I really wanna freak it but he won`t let me
Let`s see, what am I to do?
I waited for school to get out then I scrounged together big bank
Put mine with Jelani`s went in halves and now the beats crank
if only for a second though for it was a Mirage
And that`s a pun intended in the garage we pretended and meet
I recommend it, strugglin independence
An apprentice not a pro from the get go
Music so genuine, don`t even have to speak on it
Got it in my veins but, I`ma let em bleed
Won`t you take me away, sweet music
Take me away..
Never lead me astray, I use it
to get through the day..
Like fiends use drugs and, cars use gas
I`m one with the beat but how long can it last
said I, once had a vision that, every flower died
so now I ride the rhythm without pride
What the hell`s a Journeyman? Hipped me to the game
Katie brought em by and life would never be the same
What you say is what they said, pushed my head towards a new realm
seldom ever seen, now we clean, call them crews ? and you out
what I do through a tape and tryin to captivate live
Met up with MPX, Sidol-P, and MOS and felt the vibe
We let it ride one, season to the next
And then we took it, worldwide, came back and couldn`t rest
Was so impressed when I met Eligh,
and the man to make you really see why
you shouldn`t speak up in a battle, that`ll bring us next to
Mister Nomemono man, do you feel diversity
The Universe MC was next to perfectly X
Acute a freak of nature, and Bizarre`s on the fader
We major, our music`s major
Won`t you take me away, sweet music
Take me away..
and never lead me astray, I use it
to get through the day..
Like fiends use drugs and, cars use gas
I`m one with the beat but how long can it last
said I once had a vision that, every flower died
so now I ride the rhythm without pride
I said I once had a vision that, every flower died
so now I ride the rhythm without pride
