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
Lyrically, I'm Pablo Picasso Paint abstract while popping calypso
