Badu

Metamorphosis , Habeas Corpus for my Sarcophagus

Anarchist Arsonist conspicuous contortionist....

 

 

Pessimistic of the western Pacific and hemispheres

More advice than rice ...raising it to twice the price of Ice

 

But i'm Polar , and my solar is hova

which means my styles colder than a republican voter

 

with Bail outs like GM motors

and them banks that turning us down

Hitting us wit taxes upon this Axis

that keeps turning around

 

Is Roof really the truth ..why they be burning them down

Black Churches we gotta resurface and start learning them clowns

This not a circus..we got a purpose in town

To spread the good news of the heavenly Crown

I wanna hear the good news and Heavenly sound

 

They dip our heads inside water, but we will not drown

We were born swimmers...born winners....not born sinners

Then we became 5 ...and Jive became born In us..........

 

This not just Blackman talking..It's Blackman walking

From Marathons in Boston To the river banks of Austin

The reason I stay Flossin

Cause I don't come here that often

It's like I played poker wit Bram Stoker

and he placed in a coffin....

 

Now they.'re calling me Dracula, Mr. spectacular in my Accura

With teeth razor sharp and the heart of Marcus Smart

A Celtic from the start

Hardwood or in the park

As soon as my Mic spark

the scene gets night dark
