OCTOPUS

It hid and it hid in his bedroom
Psycho killer teen dream action film
Gonna show you how we get down in my hood

Bubbling, bubbling cheap champagne
Leyendecker hole wrecker feel no pain
Lying face down when I swing your way and what?
What's my name?
What's my name?

Mary Anna said it's a no-go
She don't feel like
She don't think so
But I don't know why I feel like crying
Well, come on
come on
Say come on

They ran and they ran from his classroom
Roll another 40
Make them scream
Gonna show you how we do things in my hood

Tripping and a-tripping erase all tapes
John Wayne Rob Roy feel no pain
This is the point where you look the other way

You
Done
Lost
Your mind

Mary Anna said it's a no-go
She don't feel like
She don't think so
But I don't know why I feel like crying
Well, come on
Come on
Say come on
Come on

STRAIGHT THRU CRU

She likes my voice, but I'm not dumb
When we're talking sweet in her brother's room
Under her dress is nothing at all
It's just words and words and words

She knows the faces on the door
Make the city shake
Make the city roar
What the hell did she ask me for,
If you knew what I would say?
And you know what I'm gonna say

Don't sweat it, don't sweat it
Don't sweat it, don't
This is what it feels like to win

Don't sweat it, don't sweat it
Don't sweat it, don't
This is what it feels like to win

She says I don't care about the way thing were
'Cause you're here tonight and that's the way things are
Don't be a bore or an open wound beause it's tired
And you're making me tired

Let's pretend that it's just a game
As we set controls to go all the way
Uptown
Downtown
Williamsburg
It goes on
And on and on...

Don't sweat it, don't sweat it
Don't sweat it, don't
This is what it feels like to win

Don't sweat it, don't sweat it
Don't sweat it, don't
This is what it feels like to win

And we won

There's a lifetime of bad karma
And it's waiting here for us
And you swore it would be different
And you swore it would be cute
But today's the day you learn
It's time to give up

LEAN

We took a room down by the sea
Where one day at a time
We learnt to be free
I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me

It's easy
Stay easy
Stay lean

If you really want to do this
Then come correct
Keep telling me stories
And I'll keep making you laugh
I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me

It's easy
Stay easy
Stay lean

There ain't nothing on this Earth to be afraid of
The only truth we had, it's in our bodies

It's easy
Stay easy
Stay lean

There ain't nothing on this Earth to be afraid of
The only truth we had, it's in our bodies

BLACK CROWN

"Because it's the rules"
Teacher said to boy

"Not my rules"
He said
"No"

Talking in Ebonics
Talking in italics
Talking talking talking talking
Just remember

That you wear a crown
Oh-oh, oh-oh
That you wear a crown
Oh-oh, oh-oh

"Because it's the rules"
Policeman said to boy
"Not my rules"
He said
"No"

Who will love the prophet?
Who will love the madman?
Who will-, who will-, who will love the genius child?
Just remember

That you wear a crown
Oh-oh oh-oh
That you wear a crown
Oh-oh oh-oh

Angela Davis
Charlie Parker
Cassius Clay

"Not my rules"
They said
"No, no, no"
"Not my rules"
They said
"No"
