Open Mike Eagle - Rap Protection Prayer lyrics

[Intro] Note the trees cause the dirt is temporary More to mine than fact face Name and monetary Beat the skins and let the loose lips kiss you clean Quietly pour out like light, Like light when answering Cross the street from the storefront cemetery Hear me hailing from inside and realize I… [Hook 1] May the universe strengthen my character So when it's deep I can be a submariner Hope I never have to keep me a derringer Cause I would challenge everybody like I'm Aaron Burr [Verse 1] If you see me wearin' ferret fur And a herringbone Wearing cologne Made of grizzly bear pheromones I fell victim to the smell of the marigolds Disregard what I yell in my baritone Let alone falsetto I'm nervous in the booth hittin' notes all ghetto Trying to hit that next so-called level But my flow talk tastes like a low salt pretzel (And my Mohawk's special) It's an excellent punk aesthetic But mine's orange So the rest of 'em lump together Ask Vibe, I'm the best of the sunken treasure Right next to Kid Fresh and his hunting feathers [Hook 2] May the universe strengthen my character So I can handle any props that my merit earns I can walk my own road without careless turns And never follow and holler 'til my larynx burns [Verse 2] Rocked from Paris to Harrisburg And all the hairpin turns in between The biggest nerd on the scene Since the emergence of Ween Immersed in detergent I'm clean but I surf in the dirtiest ravines With courteous thirty-somethings at grown folks' functions Got Tone Loc bumping Sipping funky cold medine We never learned to do the shoulder lean Or the super soaker thing We're more in tune with what they doing over seas Than this music for the teens We do know what it means With the constant junior rumors On my new computer screen Young famous do your thing To the nation you're a king But don't expect the older generations to agree [Intro]
