most quick to go because i'm equipped to flow a script

i will just slay and disobey

i will display banana clips

that slaughter with the words and the herds of the verbs

i gots the urge to splurge

like a bosnian serb

a-drift i means a-draft i means i riff i means i raff

rap's ca-tas-trophe

don't want no brass tro-phy

so okey-dokey folks

most provoke me? so hold your?

was willin

cause i'm strollin with the quotes

like shakespeare

mark twain

or edgar allan poe

but since i'm a ne-gro

i flows like maya ange-lou

no banja-lo was played

i means banjo betrayed

so the guitar

had to take the bitch off

and slay

you might think i'm a rookie or an amateur

but put me

on a panel or a channel i'll dismantle like the vandal-er

i meants to say the scandalous

vandalous

handle this

like my man emilio

what y'all should really know

you couldn't get the picture

if you was in an orchard

or fortress

now get loose

and just rock heartbeat showin you got juice

and have fun have fun

have

have

have fun!

picture this as i get rugged with the scrpiture

evacuatin scenes

spreadin thoughts like a drifter

i exit through my state of greater elevation

unifying

grains through the force of the imagination

you dig

what i'm saying? but i see your mind's playing tricks

you thought you got the channel but you couldn't get a fix

upon my mental -- i keep it complicated

explosion of the spirit cause i opened up my soul and created

so now you dig the flavor

you're tasting what i gave ya

seeping through the cellar cause i be the freak of nature

with

the images that i hold in my head

i be the kid from the fifth

so y'all holding what i've said

i've said

i be the omnipresent factor from the void

fatter is the flow

so my styling is employed

i'm ragged

pants worn bagged

and umm

the ghetto be my home so i shouts to the slum

come

the misfit's got a tale

take you on a mad trip

the thoughts unveil

i'm too deep

you sinks down

i creeps round

the lowest

of the levels

the positive raps that kill devils

the abstracts

right and exact

knapsack's on the back

rip poetical flows upon the track

my thoughts escape onto a tape

you'll play it back

and listen

i brought to your mind what's missing

now get loose

pazi plant get loose

and just rock heartbeat showin you got juice

and have fun have fun

i'm hip to release ill units

i displays major soul

the? out

so soul stays rhythmatic

to the static when it plays

levels from the bass

they chase but they'll never catch my patt-er-ns

soul surrounds this plant like the rings upon sa-tur-n

yo

i'm fatter than many

came to kick away any job

umm

cat

conniver if it's abstract i'm liable

take portion cause i'll fly that head?

dig the jazz that's closets from the paz be-low bugged

groovy like the nickel bag of love

slidin

through the groovy fuzz

plants is the buzz

mad abornmal

much confusion

enhanced in

my scenario's too advanced'n

for duplication

if it's violation

soul power

defenses now you're falling

and crawling

cause your styles are infantile not poetically correct

to test i'm laughin at ya

introducing lyrics for the year of ninety-three

the black brainchild is about to kick the groovy

speak out the head

provided for the hardrocks

here to resurrect the ghetto beats for the blocks

you can dig the styles cause the styles are for the digging

a fat sack of soul

that's how the sector roll

never making fake material

why should i?

the mind is so equipped to rip

so why would i

give you less than that

you in fact

this is where it's at

cause lyrics i've provided is about to swing the bat

and shake up the levels from new york to montego

it's all about the lyrics

it's not about the ego

quick to make a jam and slam sound like the pro that i am

it's profound

like the kids from the underground

every single lyric is prepared

in the hunt for the metro

with scoops of fat loops and funky lingo

level's being felt

all over in the fifty states

breaking more beats than my moms breaks the china plates

transmitting

hitting areas we freak with funk

when we come to planet earth

with a trunk of fat

soul

alert doing work on the everyday

here to bring the swing like my man donny hathaway

just

follow the dotted line

and do what we do

because you gotta get a grip

if you want your shit

now get loose

get loose

lord akil get loose

and just rock heartbeat showin you got juice

and have fun have fun

have

have

have fun!

umm

from the southern side of philly yet of the roots

there comes me

who?

the janky little brother of mr. bruce

a jazz kickin kid who flows

like the river jordan

not fond of honda scooters

but i'll take an accord and

zoom right through your borough

because i'm crazy thorough

no offspring running 'round but no my penile is not sterile

collects the crazy papes from

selling crazy tapes

umm

big heads be gettin swollen

i crush em just like grapes

the level that i'm zoning

the one that's on the third

eatin buds or mad grass that gets you higher than a bird

kinks

be in the head

cause i leave the curls to jheri

got mad souls out the ass with shit

fat like william perry

a poor black kid with rhythm

a eye for jazzy beats

straight from the underground

found new life on the south streets

we? off the jams that will uplift the people's souls

cause the objects that are foreign

the kids with baggy clothes

are the cats that i'm coolin with

when we be together

two and two equals four but foreign objects be forever

so

just let me flow as i reach up to the next plateau

and then you'll give me my respect

uhh

cause i'm a foreign object

now get loose

get loose

a.j. shine get loose

and just rock heart-beat showin you got the juice

and have fun have fun

have

have

have fun!

first off

i'm burstin off shots of gab

and gettin lifted by the gift

i start to jab

the rhymes that i grab send schools to the slab

as i write scores

the funky orator's gone

on some next ish lookin

for the next fish with a wish that used to be a duck

but now you're stuck dumbstruck

trying to hang but you can't swim i think you're fucked

you traded in your blues for boom

tap shoes

i do shows and change all opposing views

i get down

i go up as i blow up

cause i got this o.m.b. rhyme you can't defuse

yeahhh

here to rock all of you rockers

when i carry the ball

i stay be-hind my blockers

i move swift

i needs no lift

i don't have to riff because i shift the gift

and now my name is joseph simmons

but i'm not run

with the mic in my hand

i've only just begun

to hold mine

i'ma goldmine plus a ton

the way i shine

i be the rising sun

huh!

how many times must i have to say

this i never miss yo when i display?

from styles i paint the funky picture i portray and

before i hit the court i made it my forte

cause i got this

you can come and get this

cause my

method is the most and i boast so you can bet this

is like the best of the rest of the flock

and now you're walkin down the hallways of the always jock

abbreviated a.j. here for the day

bustin rhymes in your face while i'm fadin away
