Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I beat a bad rap when I skip a soul trap
Just trippin' and laughin' at the crap
Dap is what I get, the best skins that I hit
You know we rock a fucking joint and we split
Singin' and rhymin's what I'm better for
When I describe, I'm a scribe with a metaphor
I use a simile lightly 'cause that shit's played
The common way most rhymes are made, ya know
I rock like this, I flow like that
But all those comparisons are just that
Kickin' different styles, I'll be right here
Today, tomorrow, next week, and next year
I always say what I feel and that is a promise
Nothing in life is above being honest
Sauna is cool compared to being on stage
But that's the way it's gotta go in the stone age
[Verse 2]
The fame in my game, I name rapture
Like a polished rock, I'll make it shine for sure
Word is that I've traveled, I become unraveled
I been around the world, baby, give me an apple
[PreChorus]
Be your boogie man rather than Son of Sam
What I am is what I am
Though we don't have long to love, a day, a night
We only love those who love us back, right?
[Chorus]
The kid is smart, the kid is clever
Stompin' in jack-o'-lantern's weather
Backpack strapped 'cause the world is cold
Headphones pumpin', don't you know?
The kid is smart, the kid is clever
Stompin' in jack-o'-lantern's weather
Rocks his hood and plays it mellow
While maple leaves change into yellow
[Verse 3]
And, yo, shit, damn, homie at it again
Tryin' to beat my high score, but since the age of ten
See my high score flash on the back glass
I was malcontented Doug in gifted class
Now here's the deal, we came to heal, we gonna rock in Rio
Oh, no, it's not a joke, it's how we feel
Put to test like a Sugar Ray scientist, come on
I'm always dancin' in my Sunday best
[PreChorus]
I'm betting on my bliss, and my path is lit, see
The microphone is live, I'm rockin' my body
Smooth like Reggie Miller in an airborne freeze frame
Funky like the kung fu that can put you to shame
[Chorus]
The kid is smart, the kid is clever
Stompin' in jack-o'-lantern's weather
Backpack strapped 'cause the world is cold
Headphones pumpin', don't you know?
The kid is smart, the kid is clever
Stompin' in jack-o'-lantern's weather
Rocks his hood and plays it mellow
While maple leaves change into yellow
[Bridge]
Uh
Can't stop, got, gotta walk, man
A one time
A little, little something like
You goin' to it quick, I pick it up lit
[Verse 4]
I'm like, hey, wait a minute (Hey)
Give a check, one, two, then I'm ready to begin it (Check, one, two)
With a boom, boom, bap, comin' out your trunkies (Boom, boom, tip, uh)
Give a fat shoutout to the Phunk Junkeez
Stricken like a cancer, takin' chances
But I love to see the girl windin' like a belly dancer
Standin' up front with a tight stomach showin' (Showin')
Me on stage, singin', flowin'
We just kickin' it live, we just kickin' it live
'Cause if you can't kick it live, you gon' die
'Fraid so punk, quit talkin' junk (Punk, junk)
You need a live show like ball player needs a dunk
