3027282, What is Slick Rick saying on 'Ocean Prime'?

It sounds dope, but I must admit I have no idea what that verse is about. Could a smarter person please transcribe or explain this verse to me?

I hate Busta's "I want to scream but I don't want to wake up anybody sleeping in the room next door" inflection.

It's so odd, there has to be a something to it. Like a word or two replaced with one other word makes it work, or removing a couple words, or he's saying it backwards?

(Genius' transcribe job)


First paintbrush at us, toss it, floss, kid, send the deposit
And to us with, and watch us slip, mount top castrophic
Hump in public, cops be boppin', stop, cannot us
Steamin' hot as volcano ash get, no one can stop us
Walkin' down the street, my jewels neck drop 'cause
Admires black, eloquent, this, how fucked does us have?
Roll luxurious with ain't her, discuss us
Not the patch, got Wallabees lit, minus the profits
Educate 'em sacred, morals above it
Is I was scared, eventual kid come out as pashas
