1
[uncredited spoken word poet forms the song's intro]
2
A tall, handsome, chocolate syrup colored kid
3
In a fresh boxcut hairstyle.
4
Quiet manner was more in tune with his, well-heeled patrons
5
Than with his hip-hopping friends.
6
"Who hooked you up man?Yo' momma?!"
7
[Aceyalone]
8
I wrote a poem the other day
9
I hope you like it
10
[Chorus]
11
Roses are red, and violets are blue
12
Sugar is sweet love, but not as sweet as you
13
Boogers are green, and doo-doo is brown
14
Life is uphill but, not when you get down
15
I said roses are red, and violets are blue
16
Sugar is sweet love, but not as sweet as you
17
Boogers are green, and doo-doo is brown
18
Life is uphill but, not when you get down
19
[Aceyalone]
20
Sticks and stones, flesh and bones
21
+Organic Electricity+ chromosomes
22
I'm home alone, but not by choice
23
I pick up the phone and I hear a strange voice
24
Hocus pocus, boogedy boo
25
Abra-cadabra, what's a nigga to do?
26
Back and forth, and open and closed
27
And if you can't see through it then poke you some holes
28
It's like glass and dirt, water and sand
29
Things tend to burn the hotter the pan
30
Left and right, and right and wrong
31
Wrong and guilty, convicted and hung
32
Young and old, and old and new
33
Knew and never knew and tellin the truth
34
It's like black and blue, and battered and bruised
35
And if you get away from this one then, that'll be news
36
I said
37
[Chorus]
38
[Aceyalone]
39
Jack and Jill, and +Jill+ and +Scott+
40
Scotch and soda, a twisted plot
41
Bums and cops, covers and quilts
42
Pillows and blankets, cottons and silks
43
Mind so heavy hope the bed don't tilt
44
Cuts and welts, and screams for help
45
Eat and sleep, shit shower and shave
46
Work and play, cradle to the grave
47
It's all for nothin, or nothin at all
48
It's all for one, and one for all
49
You better look up at me like I'm ten feet tall
50
Cause you're lookin down at me like I'm two feet small
51
Hopes and wishes, wishes and dreams
52
It's ugly and dirty, I wish it was clean
53
Win or lose, smoke or booze
54
And if you get away from this one then, that'll be news
55
I mean
56
[Chorus]
57
[Aceyalone]
58
Ready or not, sweaty and hot
59
Tired and hungry but haven't forgot
60
Guns and shots, runs and drops
61
Or buried alive under tons of rocks
62
A beautiful day, a wonderful night
63
A suitable pasttime just rockin the mic
64
A day in the life, a life in a day
65
You know when they comin so you might get away
66
Space and time, nickels and dimes
67
Bass and rhyme that tickle your spine
68
A brand new mind, a fresh design
69
One of a kind, seek and you find
70
Homies and crews, weapons and tools
71
Lovers and haters and teachers and fools
72
Just try walkin one day in my socks and shoes
73
And if you get away from this one then, that'll be news
74
It's like
75
[Chorus]
