[Intro]
2
(Uncle Lupe)
3
Alright it's time to go to sleep
4
(Hey Uncle Lupe)
5
What?
6
(Can you please tell us a bedtime story?)
7
Ugh, it's late man
8
Okay, okay okay, check this out, listen
9
[Verse 1]
10
Cold killer, bold old guerrilla
11
Bold as a font with the thickness
12
Old as yellow gold in a Chevrolet with a stick shift
13
The story goes his mother left him on a church step
14
First step was out the front door then the first left
15
Down the block to the spots where the worst kept
16
Thirty years later got a thirty tier caper
17
To shoot up the scene and scheme
18
Plot, broken all down to two rounds of scotch
19
A pound means now and we too down to stop
20
Say ya got enough round for two thousand cops
21
Military grade, these things shoot round the block
22
Shh threat, check
23
The dame will hang out like chains round the neck
24
He ever seen her before, her face don't connect
25
No, so keep it on the low, go
26
Seizes her by the arm
27
Looks right into the eyes cause these be the charms
28
Sheba, King Tut suite at the Khalifa
29
Tied to a chair getting burned by Cohibas
30
A well dressed thug who run clubs in the Koreas
31
The room smells like fresh hand made tortillas
32
He recognized the tattoos of a real big Maui brother
33
Known for bad news when his cash rules
34
Are you familiar with the shell of the cashews?
35
As he holds the needle up to the light bulb
36
White girls enter drunk, he stands up runs to the window and jumps
37
Aim for the pool... splash
38
The impact from that almost split him in half
39
Voice from the past asks did he enjoy the bath
40
Laughs with his arm in a cast, hold up
41
[Hook]
42
Never what it seems, everybody wanna be seen
43
On the cover of a magazine
44
Everybody want big things
45
Everybody want big dreams
46
Everybody want bling bling
47
Everybody wanna be the king
48
Everybody bling
49
Everybody sings
50
Everybody wanna big thing
51
In the valley of kings and pyramid schemes
52
It's never what it seems, everybody wanna be seen
53
On the cover of a magazine
54
Everybody wanna sip lean
55
Everybody want a big dreams
56
Everybody want bling bling
57
Everybody want C.R.E.A.M
58
Everybody wanna have a team
59
Everybody wanna be the king
60
Everybody want a big scheme in the land of pyramid schemes
61
[Verse 2]
62
As he tried to do the math with Smearcon the fed
63
The contract states from here upon you're dead
64
The girl at the bar is an underworld star
65
Settling on debts with north Zanzibar
66
Your name's on the list, kitsch
67
A hundred million dollars worth of high grade fish
68
Tuna, Tokyo cartels worlds biggest consumer
69
A rumor bout a schooner off the coast of Montezuma
70
They say you slit the throat of a well known kahuna
71
Then torched the boat and fled into the Dunya
72
You're hated more than a Kalua pig at a Jumu'ah
73
They want your head on a platter, not right now but sooner
74
I got you a .45 and a Mitsubishi tuner
75
Wait, wait I've never been to Costa Rica
76
And then it all comes back
77
Just as Smearcon falls with a ninja star in his head like..huh
78
Then they slowly enter the room
79
I grabbed a .45, the ninja stars resume
80
I catch him in the cast and answer them with a blast, blow
81
Three more shots for good measure
82
Only exit is another window, pfft, whatever
83
Short fall to the roof of the car
84
Then I get in, left arm covered in ninja stars
85
Then a zero to a hundred baby real quick
86
Look around the car for something else to kill with
87
Lamborghini headlights in the rear view
88
These Parisian streets not meant to veer through
89
Especially with just one hand
90
I let go to shoot back but the gun jams
91
Mitsubishi not built to outrun Lambs
92
So they gaining, heavy raining
93
Rear view explodes from deadly aiming
94
Arm paining, blood draining
95
Pains, head for the Louvre
96
Drive right through the glass pyramid with dope moves
97
A little shook from the landing
98
Driving through the Louvre in a rally car with great handling
99
Was at the Mona Lisa
100
Stop the car right in front of the Delacroix and have a breather
101
Press play on the radio, voice from the speaker
102
Says get to Belgrade and take an ad out in the daily Politika
103
They says for a good time call this Ecuador slash Venezuelan chica
104
Next day at the airport meeted by a greeter who looks Corsican but Greeker
105
A little older wearing Michael Jordan sneakers
106
But I follow the leader
107
1995 S. Class, in the back seat is a dead man whose car I just crashed
108
Smearcon's alive, audience now wonders how Smearcon survived
109
Let alone not be hurt, he taps a metal plate in his head from his Afghanistan work
110
What Visine for red retinas, what else would you expect from head predators
111
Ex-lecturer, at Exeter, the dean too secular
112
So now I'm totes hecklers, everywhere
113
Now Smearcon's on the team, so everybody's down for the scheme
114
[Interlude 1]
115
(The final chapter in the incredible [?] saga)
116
(Smearcon's back!)
117
[Verse 3]
118
Now it's time to finish this, getting too late for international syndicates
119
To which the driver reveals his membership
120
This won't end well, he pulls out a grenade and says
121
(Damn you all to hell!)
122
[Interlude 2]
123
(Wait, what happened? Uncle Lupe what's going on?)
124
Go to sleep
125
(But what happened? I don't understand)
126
Nope
127
(Please finish the story please)
128
Storytime's over
129
You asked for a story I gave you one
130
Take it, just take it
131
(This is the worst bedtime story ever)
132
Bye
133
[Verse 4]
134
Psych sucker, Smearcon is back
135
You really think that he would go out like that?
136
They're under attack, MAC under the back...
137
[Outro]
138
I'm just playing, it's really over
139
It's the end of the tape
140
Thank y'all man
141
Pharaoh Height two thirty, Yeah
142
Shout to DJ Busy
143
