Im just a curbside prophet, got my hands in my pocket and im waitin' for my rocket to come. Im just a curbside prophet, got my hands in my pocket and im waitin' for my rocket, y'all.
It started way back in NYC when i stole my first ryme from the MIC at a west-end avenue at 63. The beginning of a leap year in Feburary, '96, found a guitar, picked it up in the mix. I committed to the licks a nickel-bag of tricks. Look at me now, look at me now! Look at me now, now, now, now!
Im just a curbside prophet, got my hands in my pocket and im waitin' for my rocket to come. Im just a curbside prophet, got my hands in my pocket and im waitin' for my rocket, y'all.
Well, you'll never-de, never-de guess where i've been, been, been, and i have no regrets that i bet my whole checking account because it all amounts to nothing up in the end. Well you can only count that on the road again we'll soon be on the radio dial and i'll be paying close attention to the Willie Nelson style, like a band of gypsies on the highway, wild. Im a one man wishing on the California skyline. Drive up to the coast; i brag and i boast, because im picking up a bass, making you tired like Space Ghost, raising a toast to the highway patrol, at the most. Put my cruse controls on coast, 'cause i'm touring around the nations on extended vacations. See, i've got Elsa the dog who exceeds my limitations. I say, "i like your style, crazy pal, pup! You need a ride? Well, come on girl! Hop in the truck!"
With the curbside prophet, got my hands in my pocket and im waitin' for my rocket to come. Im just a curbside prophet, got my hands in my pocket and im waitin' for my rocket, y'all. (X2)
See, im a down home brother, Redneck under cover with my guitar here, i'm ready to play. And i'm a sucker for a filly, got a natural ability. Gear to freestyle. Look at my flexability. Dangerous on the mic, my ghetto hats Cocked right and all the ladies say, "Yo, that kid is crazy!" We got the backstage bettys taking more than they can get, they say, "Whats up with M-R-A-Z?" Well, hey, hey, heyyy. Heyyy! Something is different in my world today. Well, they change their car, traffic sign to a brighter yellow. Well, hey, hey, heyyy. Heyyy! Something is different in my world today. Well, they change their car, traffic sign to a brighter yellow. I'm just a curbside prophet, y'all! (X4) Im just a curbside prophet, and i'm waitin', yeah, said i'm waitin' for my rocket to come.
One of the best songs ever written!
