I welcomed everybody I invited to the crib.
|
It was good to finally see them,
|
So I asked them how they been [fine]
|
They answered fine, but worried about the changing time
|
I served them tea and then I kicked an herbal rhyme
|
Disciples got me paranoid, I can't avoid
|
The scriptures got me down as the paperboy [paper paper]
|
So as I travel through stone sand and gravel,
|
I pay no mind to babble, gossip and what have you.
|
'Cause who would want to tamper with the book of rhmes pages? [pages]
|
Whatever had been written shall be shown to all stages [stages]
|
My destiny was fatal so I played it to the utmost, [utmost]
|
The daily news came, but it wasn't the New York Post.
|
Hallelujah, a baby is born, her name is Dijon
|
Now that's a sign and symbol that it won't be long
|
|
It was the
|
book of rhyme, book of rhyme, book of rhyme pages (x3}
|
|
Some see the end, but then some see nothing
|
The pages keep on turning and my DJ keeps on cutting.
|
My constant high on life combats stress and strife,
|
But there always comes a time when you must sacrifice
|
So my cells ripidy pop as the lovely lyrics drop
|
I'm never going back; I'm over stocked with stock
|
Cops and thiefs both practice same beliefs
|
So I run and make my own
|
So I don't need grief
|
Now I'm shakin' the rhythm up
|
I always drop chance
|
Cause in cups chance on gettin' goin' down
|
Chance on gettin' goin' up
|
Fun and games need not be played
|
Cause you make the wrong move and you will get slayed
|
Confused by thevoices of your spiritual choices
|
The jungle is a place that holds a many of forces.
|
Good and evil
|
Ragged and regal
|
So read book of life and make sure that you see to
|
|
Book of rhyme, book of rhyme, book of rhyme pages (x8)
|
|
Emcees want to compete with my book of rhyme pages
|
As a Zulu, how shall we teach the lessons and the stages
|
There's four developing stages in the art of hip hop
|
And most of them developped from the snap crackle and pop
|
The first was the usage of an actual band,
|
The second was a drum machine made by a man,
|
The third was the human beats box and percussion
|
The fourth in line was samplin' and the the boof of rhyme bustin'
|
Some say it is illegal,
|
but according to my scriptures,
|
These are the tools that I'm to use
|
To help me paint my pictures,
|
To brag and boast is just a higher level of description
|
What only matters are the facts not the fictions
|
'Cause anything is possible in the book of rhyme pages
|
Good frame of mind is what you need to make a split decision
|
The answer's in your face, so be sure to use your vision.
