Act 1


She said she never fell in love with a superman
Christian, Muslim, Protestant, Lutheran,
I told her that being a mortal is a portal to the true nature of growth; the Christ like Buddha man
That's why I never spit the traditional garbage of a night fight, bright lights, white ice to the fans
The radio is just a stereo, like a house and a home, a chair is just a chair, ask Luther Van
Go to work; go to church let your dreams die
Bow tie, final call, and a bean pie
yarmulke for Hanukah, wish list for Christmas
This is the jist of the life that we lead, why?
So you can fit in, with the close minded in the sit-ins, and clothes lined ed-end
I could care less about a plaque and Benz and get Punked on TV by my friends
Don't get a nigga wrong, I get tempted by the rewards that all come along with nigga songs
But what does it mean if I'm a Muslim and you a Jew and because of that alone we don't get along
And when you talk like this, and try to walk like this the radio stations'll never put a nigga on
Just Mims, just 50, just Wayne, just Jeezy, Dem Franchize Boyz, and Jimmy Jones
Fuck that, fuck rap this God-hop,
King-dom mu-sic for the hard rocks
Imma spit it till TRL get it and Hot97 hear the nigga with a bomb drop
Ask Flex, ask Slay, ask Who Kidd
Just blaze said Jay is the new kid
I took Eternal Sunshine and I looped it
No drums no hook just new shit


ACT 2


The handling of a heart is a very delicate art cause it's paper thin
One irrelevant thought, that started out as a spark, could be a poisonous dart, that leaves a permanent mark, that's ice cold in the day, and burns in the dark, and makes you never wanna see her face again
Tee-hee what a place I'm in
Lead me to the sta-ti-on
A one way ticket, don't look back
One cold tear that froze and cracked
A whole lot of pain I'm holding back
Shaft said "F that roll the sack"
I said If my skull was cracked
and blood ran out to the cul-de-sac
That could not match me where I'm at
My memories flash me there and back
Yup, there goes me right there in black
Holdin hands not starin back
She starts cryin i start denying that it's my fault and I'm aware of that
Man. in hindsight signs be glarin back
Where's the map to show you where you at
I could hear the crowd yelling, i could smell the tire smoke, i could hear the starter pistol where's the track
Ring, no answer, came home late
Jane told Dick she had a date
But they just chillin
and at that moment the right brain said to the left just kill em
Make the headlines, make the front page, wild out in the court house manthrill em
They'll say the boy dead wrong but i feel em




Act 3 Voodoo man

Voodooman, chickenbone chickenbone
And I can make a thunderstorm from a light rain
My ears start ringing
My nose get bloody
I feel a lil' bit of pressure on my right brain
Intermission transmission
Put me in submission
Glistening trapped in a light prison whistling
And then christ told me come closer to the light man
I went blind woke up infront of a mic stand

Voodoo man, tap-dancing in the French Quarter
Walking on water with a scroll in my hand
The bluerprints for disc shape like a vessel
I was chiselled out of metal off the coast of Japan
Fastend on the top of a mountain I went to postland
Saw a shiny object floating out of the ocean
I'm sort of like a postman
You can get the message if you want to understand
From the raps of the man

Voodoman, civilize the savage
Criticize the parish
Spreading false doctrine
terrorise the cleric
for carrying on nonsense
specialised lies to paralyse the conscience
Voodoman
Chit chatter
Abra cadabra
Spitting out matter
While i'm shitting out data
Hmm, chew em up shitting out rappers
Sipping Pelegrino while i'm giving out matches
Set yourself on fire
Let the wisdom of Elijah
To purify to take your nigga higher
Sold your soul to the highest buyer
Now you're on a wire
You talking about 2-foot tires
Saying you sell crack
Clapping at cats with Macs
But you are lying
Your pants on fire
Same old rugged cross
Different crucified messiah


Last Verse



While you blowing X amount of dollars on the bracelet
The sovereign nation of France was opening their files on the UFO phenomenon I.E. spaceships
This just the facts jack may as well face it
Every rhyme i write the seal get cracked in the chapter of revelations
A atom get cracked in the blackness of meditation
Mysterious shit
Call me Jay Dogon I'm on some Sirius shit
Scholars wonder why do he bust
Allah blessed me with a mighty Midas[e] touch
Everything i lay the hands turn to Ethiopian gold
Shiny and buffed
I got a firm understanding on the minus and plus
So I ain't got time to argue with a rapper about how he aint got rhymes that's fuckin with mine
I'm trynna kill Lucifer
So if i have to break case a rapper in my face telling me that he the great
You could get a shiny nickle i'll blast his mother fuckin ass way past Jupitar
You couldn't be stupider
Fuckin with the nuclear
Mayan, Aztec lion
Asiatic black man from Zion
Quetzalcoatl supreme
Letting off steam
Dimethyltryptamine make a man dream
But ya'll would much rather hear me rappin about trash
The size of Erykah's ass, blunts, and cash
We need savin
Minds are consumed with swine we need bathin
