…[Verse 1]
Got a ragtag crew on a battered ship, never learned names, we just colour code instead
On my birthday I can start…
…of my mind?
A little movement in the corner catches my eye
Oh it's just Blue, I'll guess we're fine
He's been kinda quiet today
I'd…
…here in time
We won't be blown to bits but now the other's might have died
I went to call a meeting but found to my surprise
That the…

…The flipside of that gentle melancholy feeling
Plays in the half light
Just before the dawn
To the ragtag remains…
…of some enchanted evening
The last few fallen leaves, then
Gathered by the wind
But if you hold me in your arms
Forget your baby's gone…
…know I'm not leaving
The flipside of That Gentle Melancholy Feeling
Plays in the half light
Just before the dawn
To the ragtag…

I've been writing at home nuh-nearly all winter
But now the sun's up, I'm Sun Tzu, jump through your sunroof
Belly…

I grab my nuts like I'm 2Pac
With his finger up for the cops that were looking…

…[Verse 1]
You can't eject the new soy bomb
Boiled tongue that hop out the foil swan
Clock in, pull a coin from the koi pond…
You're a pull-toy, bon voyage
Yeah, boy, I'm a lame from the paint chips
No slave to the grain of the trade winds
Phase in, deflate the…
…amass the too trashy
Ragtag, rad to the last Boo Radley
Bad back and limbs that don't act right
Still flap with the bats in the…

…[Verse 1]
I never don't float with the four winds
Sweat cold, piss warm, make war films
No doors on the forcefield, radio ahead
I…
…log any palpitation of the web
Whether aphid or angel of death
Entertainment or threat
By the end, you're a savory crepe
Models…
…an imbalance ignored
Seems like even the ragtag grab bag
Raise eyebrows when your rat pack quack quack
Spitfires that kiss the pitch dark

Warpspeed to the new scenario where we roam
Our tiny planet…

From greed and anarchic conquest
The final operation, based ideas and proposals
Involving privateers, serving…

To constellation patrol just to overthrow
And obtain supplies for the side that they ride for
Privateer raids on the…

And on the cool check in
Center stage on the mic
And we're puttin' it on wax
It's the new style
Four…
…and three and two and one (What up!)
And when I'm on the mic - the suckers run (Word!)
Down with Ad-Rock and Mike D. and you ain't
And I got more juice than…
Smurf
Taxing all females from coast to coast
And when I get my fill, I'm chilly most
We ragtag girlies back at the hotel
And then we all…

Found a book of rap verse in my suburban apartment
How much is that old style worth on the market?

Purchased for dirt at a Leimert Church auction
Cause it's covered in birdshit and smells like an armpit
Sure the…

Goin' once
Goin' twice
SOLD
To the cat in the back four rows with the black cornrows
SOLD
To the ragtag…

…in Yankee caps
Who get to know the neighbours every time they tip the ladle back
Ragtag cats and canines
Who catch phat tags on the…

All work, no play
Dull boys rotate

Throws up coffin nails, off the…

Born bathed in a tornado of claws and tails
Got skulls on his sails

Let's start by slinging some insults. John Lennon was a rubbish musician. He took an interest in performing music during the…

I met a Guy Hanes out of atomic clock contrivance
The lighter-pliant tyrants line the highlands like the…

A pious riot ferments where the ulcers first denied it
Then sheep dipped where Stygian catchwords usurp the finance
I race a thin line…

To Monday pulling Warlocks out the psyche through the cardboard…

…[Intro]
Coked up rich bitch
Coked up rich bitch
Ain't no telling what the future hold? I'll tell you
Fun and money, women…
…extravagant living
And bodegas in the gully where I launder dirty linens
Come through like osmosis and I'm strapped up with the…

Gathered all the mush and
Poured it down the sewer
Shit you not, no manure
I am sick, I can't stop
I'm the gore connoisseur
Blood no problem for the…
