NOTE: This is unfinished; will post finished one plus a link to a live recording when I am done. Every word like "chorus" "bridge" are part of the lyrics except stuff in <...>. To set you mentally, think of Lauryn Hill's rendition of (Bob Marley's) 'So Much Things To Say' (or Method Man's rendition); think of guitar acoustics ...

Feedback, very much welcome.

Lyrically, I'm Pablo Picasso
Paint abstract while popping calypso
beats, crazy Caribbeanly, livin la vida, loca
or somethin; anything to keep it extra hot
Hot like the time i turned on cold shower
Ha, I laugh hotter like Annie shakin
and Chewing Gum, umm, wait are you askin?
Questionin' my answers? i didn't think
so, or imma haveta wear a pink mink
coat on my pinky while quoting quotas
of Quotable lines from Fight Club gangstas
Man are queens of New York
Mannequins in trunk sippin on Heinekes
drunk to the right,so I brake for Meinekes
Or screech till I'm Gone in 60 seconds or till
November then I'm Gone, cos I Got 'til It's Gone
Son of a Gun, you know you ain't got none
Yawning, but I got some in the morning
At least, so I wish right about now
The closer you look, the less you see how
So you step back only to meow
the niha the sit-u-ation's like SWV:
Sistas wit Ginas in H umvees
at DMV waitin for When it rains my noir dick pours
Like uh, damn too much info?
No? Oh, I thought I heard you Say Yes
Like Floetry told you to, but you doubt Mr. Thomas
Crowne Mr. Judas, down Mr. Prime Minister
Why you gotta preach to your country ppl like we a ministery?
Mockin us like this a minstrel show
Stretch that bow, till the arrow
pierces one of your sheep better known
as your constituents, stressin, givin us stretch marks
from here to Denmark
As I make you Hit The Freeway
You know imma make you sing-rap like Freeway plus a tuplet
Rat Pack that trap, tripple Sam-tap slap that drama off your
afro and freeze frame the flow like freon in refri-gerator

Chorus

As a young boy you may catch an eye lash
Pick up and smile then make a grand wish
As a young man you may catch an eye lash
Pick up and laugh cos life's been harsh

As a young gurl you may catch an eye lash
Pick up and smile then make a grand wish
As a young lady you may catch an eye lash
Pick up and laugh cos life's been harsh

Verse II

Keep the bullets down,
lets keep it to fiction on wax-a-dasical diction,
Doesn't take much to shoot,
hence why it needs all the amplification
of a glock to make an impact, POW!
Now, you a Prisoner Of War
witchurself, nature and your nuture
Suturing wounds on Gray and Grey's Anatomy
Monotony for Ray's four senses
Five fingers in the air,
so you squeeze these
into a ball of strong fists
No Reese's
Pieces to grease this
No peace lives
Fuck peace
We need peace
Won't be no peace
So you pick up a piece
And glock glock over cheese
From our backyards to overseas
From Alabama to D.C.,
we march like, Luther King
<brief cynical laugh>Oh now I'm name dropping the usuals
like Malcom to add peace fightin' cred to this lyrical piece: <brief but more cynical laugh>Jesus
When's all i'm saying is the wars out there in the middle .. east
or west is a reflection of our internal wars with .. ourselves
and next door neighbors, therefore
Oh, oh, oh

Chorus

As a young boy you may catch an eye lash
Pick up and smile then make a grand wish
As a young man you may catch an eye lash
Pick up and laugh cos life's been harsh

As a young gurl you may catch an eye lash
Pick up and smile then make a grand wish
As a young lady you may catch an eye lash
Pick up and laugh cos life's been harsh

Bridge

If the defense and prosecutor say they tell the truth,
then fuck it, take my hands off the bible in court
better yet, take all the bibles outta the court sytem
cos if we told the truth when our hands are on the bible
then for the most part, we would not need the proceeding arguments

So back to Chorus

As a young boy you may catch an eye lash
Pick up and smile then make a grand wish
As a young man you may catch an eye lash
Pick up and laugh cos life's been harsh

As a young gurl you may catch an eye lash
Pick up and smile then make a grand wish
As a young lady you may catch an eye lash
Pick up and laugh cos life's been harsh
