i¡¯m just a curbside prophet
|
with my hand in my pocket
|
and i¡¯m waiting for my rocket to come
|
i¡¯m just a curbside prophet
|
with my hand in my pocket
|
and i¡¯m waiting for my rocket y`all, hey
|
|
ya see it started way back in nyc
|
when i stole my first rhyme from the m.i.c.
|
at a west end avenue at 63
|
the beginning of a leap year, february, ¡¯96
|
when a guitar picked up in the mix
|
i committed to the licks like a nickel back of tricks
|
well look at me now
|
look at me now
|
look at me now, now, now, now
|
|
i`m just a curbside prophet
|
with my hand in my pocket
|
and i`m waiting for my rocket to come
|
i`m just a curbside prophet
|
with my hand in my pocket
|
and i`m waiting for my rocket y`all, hey
|
|
well you¡¯re never never gonna guess
|
where i¡¯ve been been been
|
and i have no regrets
|
that i bet my whole checking account
|
because it all amounts to nothing up in the end
|
well you can only count on the road again
|
will soon be on the radio dial
|
and i been payin close attention to the willie nelson style
|
like a a band of gypsies on the highway while
|
as i¡¯m a one man wishin on the california skyline
|
drive up the coast i brag and i boast
|
because i¡¯m pickin up my pace and makin time like space ghost
|
raising a toast to the highway patrol with the most
|
but my cruise control`s on coast
|
cause i`m tourin around the nation on extended vacation
|
see i got Elsa the dog who exceeds my limitation
|
i say, i like your style, crazy pound pup
|
you need a ride? `woof`
|
well come on, girl, hop in the truck
|
|
with the curbside prophet
|
with my hand in my pocket
|
and i`m waiting for my rocket to come
|
i`m just a curbside prophet
|
with my hand in my pocket
|
and i`m waiting for my rocket y`all
|
i`m just a curbside prophet
|
with my hand in my pocket
|
and i`m waiting for my rocket to come on
|
i`m just a curbside prophet
|
with my hand in my pocket
|
and i`m waiting for my rocket y`all
|
|
see i`m a down home brother, redneck undercover
|
with my guitar here i`m ready to play
|
and i`m a sucker for philly
|
got a natural ability to give the freestyle
|
look at my flexibility
|
dangerous on the mic
|
my ghetto hat`s cocked right
|
all the ladies say, "yo, that kid is crazy"
|
we got the backstage betties taking more than they can get
|
|
they say, "what`s up with m-r-a-z?"
|
|
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
|
something`s different in my world today
|
well they changed my traffic sign to a brighter yellow
|
hey, hey, something`s different in my world today
|
well they changed my traffic sign to a brighter yellow
|
i`m just a curbside prophet love
|
a curbside brother love
|
a curbside brother love
|
a curbside oh come on
|
i`m just a curbside prophet and i`m waiting for my rocket
|
i`m waiting for my rocket to come
|
