I raise the roof like Luke and smack u wit my tactics
Impact u like the tooth u call the
wisdom
Shirley Chisolm from the boogie down to b.k. in my pumas and kappas
Tarsha Vega's a
dapper rapper I expand with Frank Zappa
Beta kappa on the mic like MC Lyte drink
cappuccino
We flow at casinos from Las Vegas to Reno
Cause life's a slot machine of dreams
and
I'm a verbal fiend been rockin'
Scores of metaphors since I was only a teen
I
think I'm winning but I'm losing again
I find religion in a pad and a pen
I plant a flower
in the desert
Then I'm back to Coney Island in the middle of the summer
I'm so high
Coney Island high
Walkin' on the boardwalk w my baby tonite
I'm so high Coney Island
high
Beats and cotton candy in the summertime
Tarsha Vega like Suzanne who sang the
Luca
Divine like Pink Flamingos
Got'cha searchin' for my lingo
Ridin' on the wheel they
call the Ferris like the Buhler
Circle is the motion like the hoop they call the Hula
In the
cycle of a lifeless tomb a crackhead's womb
Build a bridge across the River Phoenix
Impend
the doom while I'll eclipse ya like the lunar
Use your wisdom it's ya essence
Got the
lessons like a professor at the college flipping knowledge
I dig the silence as u holdin'
my hold
I dig the rhythm of the waves on the sand
I see the hard knocks on the boardwalks
pushin' rocks
And that's why families don't come to Coney Island
I flip the script like
David Kelly on the tele
Then take ya round the corner score some ginseng at the deli
Melle
Mel was like the message but it's all been convoluted
Love the pictures of the boardwalk when
the shit was not polluted
