[Verse 1] "Fool" - defined in Webster's Open up the book, read it, read it Turn the page, see what it says Read it to me will you, please (One who acts dope doltishly So what? What does it mean to me?) That's you (How's that?) ‘Cause of the way you act (Huh?!) Standing on the corner sellin' jumbos (What you talkin bout?) Scaring your friends and also your foes What's the matter wit'cha boy? (Ain't nuttin wrong with me, mother...) You big galoot (Huh?), you nincompoop (What?) What's wrong wit you? You can't compute (Yes, sure I can compute) Don't fix your lips to tell me you can Standing on the boulie playin pusherman What you got to do with yourself? (Oh what?) Can't you be somebody else? (Sure) Look at you, described to a tee (Huh) You're a fool of many in society (Crazy) I know some more, I shall go on And continue in the song, fooled the fool "Fool" - scratched by Ali Shaheed Muhammad (Man I don't know what you're talkin bout callin me a fool I've been out here for twenty-some-odd years Doin' my thing, I ain't no fool, man You crazy or something?

[Verse 2] The girl I talked to she's sort of neurotic (Yeah) Her crazy ex-boyfriend is really psychotic (Uh-huh) Scares the girl by threatening her life (word) Says "Girl, you're dead if you're not my wife" (Oh man) Beats in her public, beats her in private (Yeah) Tried it 'round me, almost a riot (What you gonna do?) Said "Forget him, don't you know he's a loser Who would love a woman turn around and abuse her?” Only a fool as described by the Tribe Here's another one who's on the fool vibe (Okay) Gonna make it short, gonna make it quick (Why?) For this situation makes me sick (Oh) See your brother man, with the female (Yeah) He's crazy ego tried to show he'll prevail (Uh-huh) In any situation, lady luck's on his side (Word) Emotions run free, nothing he will hide Why I remember one sunny day (Yeah) Took my cousin to the park so we can play (Yeah) On the way, a couple resembled The one I just described, everything a**embled Another young man walked in their direction (Yeah) Bumped him a bit, excused his imperfection (Mmm-hmm) But the man with the lady grabbed the other by the neck (Mmm-hmm) Demanded an apology and also respect (Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm) The young man aggravated grabbed him back and smacked him The girl just laughed and laughed and laughed at him (Oh, man!) He felt ashamed for what he had done It looked like a fool to everyone (OH!) These are three stories from the naked city (Yeah) Reality, is sometimes saditty (Yeah, uh-huh) Like Rod Serling from The Twilight Zone Earth to your brain - is anyone home? (What you talkin bout?) I see ya there, tryin to make amends Try to make some friends, but now my story ends (Oh, man!) On the note, that I just wrote Stay afloat on the reality boat (Oh) Slow down and think and take it cool And try to avoid the description of a fool [Outro dialogue] Man, Tip, you think you all that now that you on wax Or something that you can tell a brotha what to do? You know I'm older than you? I'm your senior, brotha Man, you better go someplace with that old fool nonsense I'm gon' keep doin' what I gotta do And survive the way I gotta survive, know'm'sayin'? You can't do nuthin', can't do nuthin', man Know'm'sayin'? I've been out here too long doin' my thing…
