Metaphor in Context
[Verse 2: Q-Tip]
Zulu Nation, brothers that's creation;
Minds get flooded, ejaculation --
Right on the two inch tape.
The Abstract poet incognito, runs the cape.
Not the best not the worst and occasionally I curse to get my
Point across. So bust, the floss
As I go in betweeen, the grit and the dirt.
Listen to the mission, listen, Miss, as I do work, umm,
As I crack the, monotone.
Children of the jazz so, get your own.
Smokin' R&B cause they try to do me
Or the best of the pack, but they can't do rap
For it's Abstract, orig-inal.
You can't get your own and that's, pitiful
I know I'd be the man if I cold yanked the plug
On R&B, but I can't and that's bugged.
