Show You the World
The Grouch:
From my corner of the globe let's probe, let's go
Gonna take you on a ride _ give it, breath slow
Echo my intentions big horns, new porn
Fornicate with your fate
Show a great many form to me
I know a record store in Tokyo it's okie doke
I'm talkin other plains like mother rain and chokey smoke
Lets speak of folklore, legacy and legend
And it what it means to stand for somethin
A mans head in the right direction
Leads more than a horse to water
It follows his dreams, models
Kings supports daughters and sons
Cause toddlers are young, but so is 21
You ain't really seen shit yet but guns
And spinnin rims, synonyms for candy
Gotta brush your gums but flossin comes in handy
Yea that shit was hot and you ain't got to ask Randy, Paul or Simon
I'm a diamond in the rough just standing
My lost friends, and my baby girl
I'm a show you the world
MC's, DJ's and fans
I'm a show you the world
My own mother im a show you the world
Just like you showed me the world
To my wife, my cousins and Brent
I'm a show you the world
Raphael Saadiq:
Sometime it's kinda funny to me
How life can take you on a funky turn beat
But I don't know what you pretend
I'm gonna show you, expose you to what you need to see, to be
Come take a ride with me
I'm gonna take you on..
I just wanna show you my world
The Grouch:
Sunsets and Zuma beach
Sea turtles you can reach
Steep hurdles I can leap
Deep purple and shades of green
They ain't never seen, not a flat screen
Thats nature nurturin murderin a max _
What I'm doin'? But don't worry bout what I'm doin'
It's congruent to love, language and your fluent
I gotta lot to learn, new rocks to flip whips to turn
Baggage to drop and fresh listeners to earn
Go on spin the wheel let's peal
We can do it local with an international feel
Like _ 14th street or Fairfax
There, that's the spirit baby, let down your hair
Contrast it with the whites of your eyes
Your innocence speaks to me uniquely as creation applies
Only dummies believe Darwin, lets go hard then
Juggle the stars and tug on the skies
Artsy people I'm a show you the world
Hyphy people I'm a show you the world
Zion I we goin show em the world
Raphael we goin show em the world
Livin Legends we goin show em the world
One Block we goin show em the world
Mike Neezy we goin show em the world
Fat Jack we goin show em the world
Raphael Saadiq:
We got somethin for you
We got somethin for you
But you gotta listen (you gotta listen)...
But you gotta listen (you gotta listen)...
