The nightcap was exiled steadily profiled

as the underachievin non believin can't stand to reason

Where's your daddy boy to categorize the drinker

Misunderstood to make the ordeal linger

They label me a problem child who can't cope

Hangin by a thread yes a very thin rope

Inevitably can never be the man can I tell ya

Visualize and memorize him in a cellar

Well tally ho, pip-pip, my fam's gonna catch a fit

My father lookin like he wanna bust my lip

But that was never good for my health

So I take the shovel out my pocket and dig myself

Now when I look at the man in the mirror

I see things much more clearer my Lord

I'm not that popular, less than a dollar

but the ? I pack can make you holla

I said, what you don't know could make a whole new world

Man.. listen! I'm set to sabotage premonition

Your propaganda, crooked type of version

Some of the things I bring, you're babblin non-person

Imbedded in my character, rebel nostalgia

Uncommon valor who'd rather

have no man-made religion or sect

But try to believe what you conceive may be half correct

I shed light, to show the path in sight

Cause a man who can't treat you right can't teach you right

In front of your eyes, what a surprise, and let the nature

rise, just for the girls and the guys

A Phi-Slamma-Jamma when you wear a bandanna

Peace to Pop Dukes, and long live Nana

The formula's reality, Pete Rock's the storm

Together, forever, yes G we got it goin on
