Rap is Where It's At


jump in the game no here to complain being busy as a bee in a land of make believe we shoot for the top but it ends in the flames let me be the first to explain I'm staying in the game this is my time May shoot to the top in my prime or stand in line Sugar is sweet like honey but I'm going to be the one who brings home the money Life is funny in its twists and turn one soul soars while the other one burns we can each learn from our teachers it's not a walk in the park late night double feature we got to learn to stick close together no matter what the weather see each of us has a gift we must use or its forgotten thank God we got to kill that thug Ben Laden search your heart you got great rhymes inside don't fall away or try to run away & hide go slow at first to take up the pace some folks may think your from outer space yet what do they know there just jealous you see many don't even know there A.B.C's stop spreading the disease it will knock you to you knees look toward the ocean while you use your magic lotion take a shot in the dark & someday you will find you will never be left behind it all comes down from within deep inside look at the junkie in the gutter the mother who doesn't have enough to pay her bills she turns to cheap thrills to do what she has to do have we bitten off far more then we could chew kick it in the shower its your hour of power in the end you get to make the final decision it isn't found in some fake front wishing Rap is where its at your going to make me have a heart attack the signs are painted all around listen as you'll hear it's nasty sound
