[Eyedea] Everybody grab the mic but dont know what to do With it but they got a ego thanks to their crew Telling them theyre dope but nope I just tell them the truth MCing aint for everyone Yall hear that? Now, thats some truth right there I aint even trying to front Motherfuckers be telling me Just straight up tell the truth Ima defy the laws of gravity on this But most motherfuckers cant defy that shit Shit just pulls you down, you could be going down I dont get that shit sometimes You know what Im saying? [Verse 1 Odd Jobs] I can see through that ski mask Mirage and silk stockings I see that youre a nervous wreck Like you pillpopping why you still talking? Blocking a brothers train of thought But this train dont stop better return that brain block Youre still singing the Macarena when I drop it rains up Never back wack rhymes cause We drinking from the same cup I cant stand them cheeses[?] only rapping for the money But sometimes I listen, you can learn a lot From a dummy or a mannequin you cant stand to win Im dismantling kids like packages Plus tax, shipping and handling Jesus panicking when this man begins to rhyme hot None of yall can see me, as if I was a blind spot Times got worse before they got better But you couldnt set it off if it was a motiondetector You pocket protector, second guesser, depressant Question adolescence and steppin in the section? Then reload your weapon or I get you open like eyelids is You host talk shows I host irises My mileage is already at its full capacity I put in so much work that other states are taxing me [Verse 2 Eyedea] Man, thats not understandable Youre fruitier than a cantaloupe Your tired ass needs an antidote Give a man a jolt like a can of coke Im intangible my rhymes should be guidelines Damn, Im dope enough to have Starting players laying on the sidelines Its a sport to watch so of course you jock Verse is short and hot like Webster wearing A sweater in the sun on a porch in Compton When the door is locked now pass out On the asphalt that tore your socks On the shoeless, useless pilgrimage Around your block to get some props Listen, hop when the bitchin stops Youll see I leave emcees feeling empty Like daycare centers at six o clock You got a simple combination of words But I prefer to pick your locks You sniffle snot cause you realize Im fresher Each measure I apleasure putting pressure on your dome Til that overgrown pimple pops Get the knots out of your tongue I fracture drums provide a cap for some Theyre in fraction months So I laugh at the chump [Chorus Odd Jobs and Eyedea] Im not half the man I used to be But twice the man youll ever be So whys your career going downhill? I dont know, I dont know Im not half the man I used to be But Im twice the man youll ever be So dont defy the laws of gravity and try to flow [Verse 3 Eyedea] Ever since I rolled in a baby carriage Ive been very arrogant Its a gene my parents seemed to carry So I guess its inherited Im restless like marriages Between two dope fiends in holding cells Going through withdrawals Yelling divorce arrangements through the walls I enforce derangement Im more than strange but Im sorta sane Forced to aim towards your brain like pouring rain A dormant pain Will change a boring day into a horrible holocaust Inside your mind Im unignorable Youre so adorable when youre falling off You cant see me, hear me, feel me Taste the beef or smell the flavor Cause your mentals short of change Youre the lamest employee, boy, call me boss Toy, guard your jaw Ill start your naw[?] Part your bra in front of a whole Mardi Gras Its martial law to card you all Drinkin out the party ball You aint smart at all walking into a fire pit With a heart of straw? My recitals rip your title quick Dude, Im telling you fix your shit It aint hard at all man, here goes some elmers glue [Verse 4 Odd Jobs] Youve been ate by someone who dont Consider himself an emcee You cant touch me like elfs feet On a tenspeed so either raise the pedals Or lower your standards The only thing I forget when Im battling Is my table manners and cable channels Watch me to kill time Im pouring rhymes And overflowing you dont even fill the lines So bill my mind for all the punitive damages And numerous bandages you and your management Couldnt handle this Even if I rap for love its still to my advantage, kid Im making sandwiches out of heroes People poor Curiosity killed the cat My rhymes killed most of the force And of course Im scared using a jiffy Like your moms hairdo in the fifties And I dare you like a striptease To take a firm to the back dude Ill burn you in traction Even your perm will be laughing Im turning and asking this man on my left Why this kid on the right side of mes On the wrong side of tech[?] [Chorus Odd Jobs and Eyedea] Im not half the man I used to be But twice the man youll ever be So whys your career going downhill? I dont know, I dont know Yo, Im not half the man I used to be But Im twice the man youll ever be So dont defy the laws of gravity and try to flow Im not half the man I used to be But twice the man youll ever be So whys your career going downhill? I dont know, I dont know Im not half the man I used to be But Im twice the man youll ever be Man, dont defy the laws of gravity and try to flow
