lyrics

Heal Up Wheel Up Bring it back Come Rewind
Poppa Got Some Gear On That Reflect the Time
Pick is in his hair and my Momma is a Dime
Neither is Aware what they about to find
In the satin sheets is where they both'll climb
7 Steps to Heaven ~ Miles running down the line
7 steps from Heaven I'm runnin down the line
The trumpets blow in stereo announcing my decline
No tears shed upon my departure
I shot a glance at my Heavenly Father
He nodded acknowledging forthcoming collaring
I had to smirk told em soon i'll be hollerin
My fellow angels laughed dapped up and raised glass
Sounds from the stage I'm caged in start to play as
Drums start to drown the sounds from all around
I nestle in ~ Mom's hearbeat Pounds

Rites and Rituals ~ Life's a Bitch but Wow
We All Addicts til we Kiss the Clouds
Clinging to the Curtain ~ Don't End my Earth Game
I'm Come to Conjure Nirvana Amongst these Birdbrains

It was 11/12 Months after Summer Sam
Hello Mrs. Gary it's the stork with a telegram
You've been chosen to guide this little boy to man
And you are in for a ride he got them older ancestors in Em
From beginning ~ Poppa had a funny feeling
Notha rhythm ~ Suttin Different ~ Nothin like them other children
We better get to gettin ~ Split before the gutta get em
This city make you to a star or sap your love for livin
No Prophecies over me when I was born my Momma Screamed
Doctor smacked me in the face and told me welcome to the Dream
Birth of a recurring theme ~ Earth ain't never what it seem
Swore I had the crown til they told me I was Burger King
Sprintin out the gate I got tripped up upon the hurdling
Take me back to Heaven Lord I hollered no one heard a thing
This place it looks absurd insane prolly bout to burn in flame
Momma holdin me she think it's sweet but I got her to blame

I like this life more with eyes closed than open
I wake in fear of that which can't be spoken
My limited vocab and these primitive folk have
Driven me to disagree with all the wisdom my soul has
How do you convey to folk you know more than them
When you look in they eyes and realize that they are all pretend
No more real than cartoons or Jim Henson's Muppets
I just left the master clearly you all play the puppets
Truth is ~ Although i piss on myself and toothless
I'm sheddin my tears cause it appears you fittin my neck for Nooses
And you callin me the Nuisance
Nah ~ I just got New Sense
Or maybe I'm an ancient
Chosen from the thrown but forced to face initiation
Left behind the Palace for some bunk beds in the basement
To Rise again a wiser man todays the Coronation
