lyrics

What is it that which you want
There be no need to flaunt
Get on back to your haunt
What exactly do you need
Don’t brigade a stampede
In worn leather and tweed
What is it that which you seek
Why not take a sneak peek
At the havoc you wreak
What is it that you believe
Secret fell out of sleeve
Tad too late to retrieve
Saunter around aimlessly then you go right on talking
Wonder aloud why you don’t just keep on walking
There ain’t no call for you to come around a knocking
Find a new pier for your ship to dock
Why is it me that you rap
Can’t you manage a map
Discern this thing from that
Why must you be a kill buzz
Is it simply because
What’s now isn’t what was
Why Do you seek to permit
Cannot deem how it’s fit
File appeal to acquit
Why don’t you just go take off
Grab your draft and then quaff
Dig yourself a new trough
& yes I can see that you will still be a joking
Prettily poised preened and mightily provoking
Tell from the haze that you probably were smoking
Step up on stage then decide to choke
Soon coming to a head
Feet dragging out of bed
Recalling what you said
Practically half dead
Think I’ll be drawing the line
Tiptoeing it yeah oh so fine
Keep the beat right on time
Maintaining the rhythm and rhyme
Mosey under the sunset
Heeding it to be a safe bet
If I am summoned to vet
Hire a supersonic jet
Then I see you lurk around with your smile surmising
Situation I don’t find all that surprising
Easy to wean through the veil that’s been disguising
Metal detect right through all the lies
Why don’t you scurry along
Reflect what’s right and wrong
Readjust your sarong
Why don’t you plan what is next
You can expect a text
For a balance and cheque
Why not disarm and resolve
Process how to evolve
Around you don’t revolve
Why not go exit vamoose
Sever the red caboose
Get on up and bust loose
