Original style
("….where's the money? Where's the cash? ....ok, I can play now, sababa…")
Hi, hello, good evening!
Thanks for inviting me!
Very wise move on your part.
Honestly, I mean it- cuz, you know
I rule! I kick ass! I rock the mike like no one before me.
So let's just get this out of the way- I'm amazing, second to none, I'm the man!
I am a man of original style
Streaming and flowing down the current from here to the river Nile
You try to imitate me punk? You can't, it aint worth your while
Guess what? You're on candid camera asshole, smile!
I am a man of original style
The one who taught karate kid to smash all them tiles
When you listen to me flow you're gonna love it- Lyle
So incredibly amazing they ought to put me on trial
File me under miscellaneous like piss
Or Swiss cheese you can smell me from a mile, child
Aussies from down under like me better than crocodile
Dundee when Germans see me they yell-
Hiley selase to my African friends
It's highly recommended if you ask me to visit France
Au café ole silvouple madam missie
Madam tusso musse dorce no parle france' today
I'm the cheeky mother fucker with shik fit for sheiks
The sneaky fother mucker with a squeaky bed and stained sheets
Like a dog in heat with stinky feet I roam the streets capiche?
I'm not afraid of anything except for the po police
Please officer the light was green officer
I swear I'm clean officer and yo! That's not
Marijuana it's Israeli mint called nana
What do you mean I'm under arrest?
Police today! I must confess I'm extremely unimpressed!
I am a man of original style
Rocking and rolling down the road from here to river Nile
Try to imitate me punk? You can't it aint worth your while
Guess what, you're on candid camera asshole, smile
I am simply original
The one who showed snoop how to doggy dog style
I sing I rap I piss I crap I'm very versatile
If I'd burp really loud now does it mean I'm infantile?
Give any beat in the world- no matter how jazzy
I'll spice it up like curry make it razzy matazzy n' snazzy
You see me I've been spitting rhymes on mikes for over a decade
I once had a show in front of women butt naked
Take it from me there's no competing with me – word!
Oh damn, shit, I just stepped in dog terd -typical-
Whenever I feel on top of the world something's going to drag me down
So I never exactly know if I am cool or a clown
A genius or a jerk a player or a perk
A smile a smirk a Greek or a Turk
This verse is taking directions that I never intended
I better pick up the trombone so I can finally end it
I am a man of original style
Getting high on every highway from here to river Nile
Try to imitate me punk you can't it aint worth your while
Guess what? You're on Candid camera!
I am a man of original style
As persistent as Liz Taylor as she's walking down the aisle
I'm old and I'm fat but I still have my smile
So I grin till I begin to feel stoned and senile.

Times of peace
The sea was high
Wind was blowing through my sails
Don't know why
Haven't seen no land for days
Hoping time will calm the anger
Of hours yet to come
And skies will release in ease
Times of peace
The sea was high
Wind was blowing through my sails
Don't know why
Haven't seen no land for days
Hands are reaching holding on to
Cries of souls who've yet been touched
Singing threw the cracks of time
"We are free"
Clearly not enough time south of Lebanon
Dealing with day to day, way no way
Try to stay, pray, try to say
Years will come, tears will fall
Sea will always come to shore
Reminds us ways of acceptance
Delivery of peaceful days
Knocking on our door
Coming to our shores
Since yesterday till morrow.
The sea was high
Wind was blowing through my sails
Don't know why
Haven't seen no land for days
So many songs about redemption
And a change has yet to come
Too many songs too many people
Lost at sea.
