Humble Mumble (feat. Erykah Badu)

I stank I can, I stank I can The funky engine that could Yowsky, wowsky, pisky, wisky All aboard the Stankonia Express The underground smell road Everybody's lookin' for an excuse to let loose What's your locomotive The chatta nigga choo choo? Humble as a mumble in the jungles Of shouts and screams That's the way the cracker crumbles So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams Humble as a mumble in the jungles Of shouts and screams That's the way the cracker crumbles So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams Back on the microphone, your number one controller I rock the microphone like a blizzard, I'm so cold I'm tryin' to hold ya Life is like a great big roller coaster Everything in life don't happen like it's suppose to Trials and tribulations make you stronger, live longer You wanna reach the nation nigga? Start from ya corner Everything don't always happen like you planned it Demand it, over stand it then you handle it Fuck wishing, you missing the ambition on your mission Now you switching, why you quitting 'cause it's heated in the kitchen? Stop ya slipping and ya pimping nigga You either pistol whoop the nigga or you choke the trigger You've got to follow through, struggle to complete your dreams No weapon formed against prospers 54: 17 From Isaiah lay a nigga down and spray 'em If the dealer dealt a fucked up hand of cards you've gotta play 'em Humble as a mumble in the jungles Of shouts and screams That's the way the cracker crumbles So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams Humble as a mumble in the jungles Of shouts and screams That's the way the cracker crumbles So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams Yeah, too democratic, republic fuck it We chicken nugget, we dip in the sauce like mop and bucket Blue-collar scholars, who'll take your dollar and wipe my ass wit it You livin' for the lotto never hit it I met a critic, I made her shit her drawers She said she thought hip-hop was only guns and alcohol I said, "Oh hell naw!" But yet it's that too You can't discrimi-hate 'cause you done read a book or two What if I looked at you in a microscope, saw all the dirty organisms Living in your closet would I stop and would I pause it? To put that bitch in slower motion, got the potion and the antidote And a quote for collision the decision Do you wanna live or wanna exist? The game changes every day so obsolete is the fist and marches Speeches only reaches those who already know about it This is how we go about it Humble as a mumble in the jungles Of shouts and screams That's the way the cracker crumbles So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams Humble as a mumble in the jungles Of shouts and screams That's the way the cracker crumbles So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree I'm free just like the wind the breeze that blows And I flow just like a brook, a stream, the rain And I fly just like a bird up in the sky And I'll surely die just like a flower plucked And dragged away is thrown away and then one day it turns to clay It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way And there it lays until the rain and sun Then I breathe just like the wind the breeze that blows And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding It's beautiful, that's life and that's life And that's life and that's life Humble as a mumble in the jungles Of shouts and screams That's the way the cracker crumbles So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams Humble as a mumble in the jungles Of shouts and screams That's the way the cracker crumbles So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams Humble as a mumble in the jungles Of shouts and screams That's the way the cracker crumbles So I guess I've gotta re-route my dreams Y'all can't harm me, it's over
