technique reaches a peak like Doug E

could it be so simple? yet like a whimper

this enters the subconscious as if montrous

apparatchiks tried to inflict backflips

while some skip along their merry way

on to meet a pleasant lady name Faye

"if Faye had twins..." so begins a new dialog

some slog through the week seeking a paycheck

next door to the corner store we implore those

who nose around where they got no biz being

start seeing clear vision precision bass guitars

by Fender render most competing brands with off-hand

dismissals while some fizzle out before starting time

dissect each line for a reminder the enjoinder

coined a phrase in the lexicon while some battle

on and on like a song Badu made at her own request

on the first track of "Mama's Gun" when Erykah asked:

"why cain't we git along?"
