Black Thought - Mad Nice lyrics

I ask questions later Villain, the invader in a mask for the paper Spent the cake on a light rice bowl Wouldn't waste a wait on a date off the lice pole Dice roll, it's like he know magic, hat trick Writing flows that make little Mikey go spastic It's so drastic, pa** the cash quick Don't get your monkey-a** kicked for no plastic Take it all back in a tall pack, don't stack, bozack Hit him if you need some more crack, go pro-black That's the price for a tad of bad advice At least he got fat 20's and he mad nice
