You know I'm ready, yes to rock steady,

And I'm what you might call a heretic

Yes, and I am from Nebraska

My girl is satisfied, you can ask her

You know I've never visited Alaska,

Huh, where the oil was spilled

That drunken captain should be killed

For polluting the sea, an atrocity

But he still walks free, well

This one goes to all the birds that drown

Nick:

Just ***ed up bull*** too many *** fears an panic

It's time to throw down and so I said it words of

Wisdom that will keep you guessing cause

I'm tired of laying and I'm tired of messing around

Who put down what we do

Rollin with the rhythm rhymin' while I'm rollin

Go blast the parasites when they start to spaz

SA:

Nicholas hits hard he's got the jazz

Now the B-boy rocking breakin' moves on the floor

311's stepping loud have them yellin for more

Go on hoping, I'm poetry in motion

When I fire I spray just how I'm hopin'

P-Nut, the bass storm is booming

And in your mouth the rhythm is booming

P to the N to the U to the T

Just *** the has-been's and their stupid-ass rapping

Promising bull*** you can't come through with

Do it in the basement no complacent

It's time to kick the *** in

Begin to win no sin and then

Share it, declare it in the public domain

Refrain

---> Play Riff 3 over:

Nick:

I'd be perfectly sad if rap was a fad but it's not

So I thought I would come out with a shot

Stupid dumb lyrics make you think I'm a clown

Nineties, all that
