Children's Story

[Verse I]

It sounds nice – but it's disgusting...
It's like
Roast beef to a vegetarian
Melanin to an Aryan
Or a bonus check for a fucking politician !
Huh -
It's bullshit listen
I can smell the stink from outside of the kitchen
“What you cooking up ?”
Bog ? Dog ? You hog !
My thoughts are digital
But my mind is analog
Rogue
In vogue with my natural instincts
In sync with
The opposite of scum bags and dim lit nit wits
Whoa !
Slow in the brain
I guess it's hard for them to sit and
Roll in this train
My team tweak on higher levels
Buzzing
RIP to my cousin !
Rebels
That's right
We smash the status quo
You wanna threaten me ?
I got the Gladys – go !
She ain't no metaphor
We never met before
I ain't your average Joe Blow bro
Just get to know
I'm moving on another plain
You're limited by your chain
No wonder you're getting slain !

[Hook]

Now here's a little something that needs to be heard
Because he's so kind at heart they think he's easily scurrd
So this goes out to all the big bully cats
Who keep pushing him back
Until he's forced to react (x2)

[Verse II]
You're looking at me like I'm clinically insane
Like I'm stuck in the 90's
Like I'm fucked in the brain !
I know you think it's strange
That I'm still able to exist in this frequency range
This ain't no
“Retrofit”
“Classic shit”
“Wanna be hip”
“Get with the new times for relevance” ...
He said;
"You better quit while you're ahead
Mozart - or you going to write your own requiem in your bed!"

You talkin' to me ? x2

I'm like;

“Fuck you and your thoughts !
Who appointed you the judge in my court !”
Huh ?
“I've been writing this dramatic opera since 99'
While all these one hit wonders get left behind
I'm still here !”
Yeah !
Getting Swiss money like “oh yeah”
I look around for the haters and they ain't nowhere !
Yeah !
And the chicks love me like “oh yeah”
I stay in tune with my vision ‘cause it is so clear !

Knock 'em out the box Root !
Knock 'em out Words ! x3
Knock 'em out the box
Knock knock 'em out the box !

[Hook]
