Humble Mumble (feat. Erykah Badu)

Ah, I stank I can, I stank I can

The funky engine that could

Ooh, ooh, yosky, wosky, 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-**** 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 told ya

Life is like a great big rollercoaster

Everything in life don't always happen like it's supposed to

Trials and tribulations make you stronger, live longer

You wanna reach the nation, ****, 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?

Sloppy slipping in your pimping, ****

You either pistol whip the **** or you choke the trigger

You've gots to follow through, struggle to complete your dreams

"No Weapon Formed Against You Prospers", 54:17

From Isaiah, lay a **** down and spray 'em

If the dealer dealt a fucked up hands 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 living for the lotto, never hit it

I met a critic, I made her shit her draws

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 dis-crimahate '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? "Whoo"

To put that bitch in slower motion, got the potion and the antidote

And a quote for collision, the decision is

Do you want to 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

And 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 dry and gray, it's 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

And 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 gotta re-route my dreams

Y'all can't harm me, it's over

Shhh, hush

Shhh, hush

Shhh, hush

Shhh, hush
