Wake up in the morning
Press the Colgate
Brush my teeth and I'm hitting the streets to meditate
Went outside and the sky was rather gray
But I paid no attention, kept moving up on my way
Went down the block and skanked a little further
When this kid rode up, he said what's up with Emcee Mur...
That was then son
This is now
I live in the moment like a why to a how
Wow, the profound just bring that down
That's when I proceeded to show him the pro to the noun (I said)
I found, instead of trying to be what I was
I'll be what I is which makes us the wizard of us
Plus, I'm really sick and tired of complaints
Of hip-hop this, rap that, and what it aint
I'd rather do a dance
Find some romance
Or pray to my father in heaven to get a chance
He glanced down, he looked rather dissapointed
And then he looked up he look ra-rather annointed
He said, "Emcee Murd..." they wait for the man
And the master of the cerimony that was unplanned
Damn, You quick kid, you know
Plus I grab microphones from here to ridoe
I keep my mind still like the art of tabloe
And no matter what they say I go on with the show
We laughed, and gave each other a pound
Exchanged numbers (Greetings)
I said "Kid, see you around"
Continued with my stroll for that lazy afternoon
But then out from the sky I heard a great big BOOM
Hey, yo, I couldn't tell you why
But purple rain straight started falling from the sky
I started to cry
I thought it aly
I prayed for my mother "Oh Me, Oh My"
You should've seen the people jumping and crying and screaming, believing the seasons was changing the rain was the pain of the nature and running and coming and going and low and beholding and wishing the sun was golden and hoping it wasn't over, damn
Now people to this day can't tell you what I saw
It was raw
It broke every mortal thought
Every law
Yo, in awe I was
A buzz, then a light, and it said to me right
"We be them rap kids from galaxy a far
And it seems that maybe your rhymes are up to par
So if you wanna live on within this universe
You have to kick a dope verse, and don't curse"
Oh, hey, well, what do you know
My life came don to how well I could really flow, so
I thank god for this magnetic stage
I dropped that rhyme on the corner and it went this way
I take it to the limit, infinite, I been it, commited to fit it
I did it and if they bit it, I heavy hit it to get it
This record of water is thought of sort of immortal thoughts that borders on orders and can't thought of the bought by cash, K-dash
Flash, I'm gonna last
What is the task, you ask
And what alien form is this man talking, is he human or vulcan, escaping or stalking, or walking away from the rhyme by sledding down white hills of snow , tobaggening, Canadiana, my granny Georgiana, and my brother stays in Atlanta
I rock over cabanna but intelectual manners
You get hit by the gamma rays sort of the David Banner
Now the mind is a terrible thing to waste
Even worse is the great void of infinite space
That extends beyond time
Beyond all math
You watch can only measure the second that just passed, but
That doesn't matter
I'm just a B-Boy
That gets mad excited when the crowd makes noi...
