The Grouch - Once Upon a Rhyme lyrics

[The Grouch] Follow me, follow me I'm goin.. on a little, excursion Check it out Won't you take me away, sweet music Take me away.. Never lead me astray, I use it To get through the day.. Like fiends use d** and, cars use gas I'm one with the beat but how long will it last I, once had a vision that, every flower dies so now I ride the rhythm without pride I used to have a gray Sanyo, the kind with one speaker No antenna I used tinfoil to help me pick the weaker powered Stations of my sh** was set on cable, bumpin Pause record to press just in case I caught somethin I always did, just a kid and that's literal Daddy used to tell me turn that sh** off if I didn't he would get a fool I turned it down to dub it, listened to it later He knew how much I loved it, but rather I'd be a skater Or a baseball player - c'mon dad, let me just hear it I said no! - It's only five more minutes, please please - Slick Rick's about to come on Go to your room! So now I'm sixteen, tryin to f**in mix things No money in my pockets just desires and some big dreams My homey got an SP, I really want to freak it but he won't let me Let's see, what am I to do? I waited for school to get out then I scrounged together big bank Put mine with Jelani's went in halves and now the beats crank if only for a second though for it was a Mirage And that's a pun intended in the garage we pretended and meet I recommend it, strugglin independence An apprentice not a pro from the get go Music so genuine, don't even have to speak on it Got it in my veins but, I'ma let em bleed Won't you take me away, sweet music Take me away.. Never lead me astray, I use it To get through the day.. Like fiends use d** and, cars use gas I'm one with the beat but how long can it last said I, once had a vision that, every flower died so now I ride the rhythm without pride What the hell's a Journeyman? Hipped me to the game Katie brought em by and life would never be the same What you say is what they said, pushed my head towards a new realm Seldom ever seen, now we clean, call them crews? and you out what I do through a tape and tryin to captivate live Met up with MPX, Sidol-P, and MOS and felt the vibe We let it ride one, season to the next And then we took it, worldwide, came back and couldn't rest Was so impressed when I met Eligh, And the man to make you really see why You shouldn't speak up in a battle, that'll bring us next to Mister Nomemono man, do you feel diversity The Universe MC was next to perfectly X Acute a freak of nature, and Bizarre's on the fader We major, our music's major Won't you take me away, sweet music Take me away.. and never lead me astray, I use it To get through the day.. Like fiends use d** and, cars use gas I'm one with the beat but how long can it last said I once had a vision that, every flower died so now I ride the rhythm without pride I said I once had a vision that, every flower died so now I ride the rhythm without pride
