Don't Let me Be Misunderstood, I'm feeling good because of Nina (No biters Please)

its just begun
its just begun

Im having sextets with jazz
horny for the brass
getting my woodwinds blown
while taking drags from the sax
tapping on toms
same time Im strumming strings
shooting bullets over drums
call me the bb gun king
I give a so what to what you think
get this through your system
different heads do different things
and me I ride the coltrane of thought
to many places and spaces
racking in more miles than davis
having daydreams
of being on the mainstream playlist
as the average joe poster boy
for mindful entertainment
fly as donald byrd
I'll take you higher than ripperton
no moanin' like mingus did
Im live sidekicking it
with me and my messengers
manifest viz, embodying that 4 letterword
d.o.p.e
dont believe me?
well check the cd
even steely dan fans
will clap their hands to these three emcees
deeper than my dads love for beegees
something that the blind eye cannot see (like stevie)
try to read me like the eisleys between sheets
and if you get it
my hi hats going off to ya
or anyone down in the lounge
digging doo wop
naa dont let the truth stop
dont let the truth stop
gotta let em know
(yo you gotta let em know)
that theres so much more to hip hop
than just biggie and tupac
yes you got so much you need to learn
but first things first
lets boogiedowndown to the groundwork
scratch the dirt off the surface
and sound the red alert for all the fools
who dont seem to know who kool herc is
no past equals no purpose
so if youre not willing to dig
well then sorry kids you dont deserve this
give it up, learn to groove
pay your dues, or turn it loose
to a generation of more murda mooks? (naaaaa)
iF i WAS YOU Id walk on by like isaac hayes
kick kick back relax
on some billie holiday
fine and mellow
like kirby on the cello
break it down then bring it up with a crescendo
then watch the spot get blown
like the cheeks on gillespie
when I get more animated
than bebop and rocksteady
and funkier mosquitos tweeters (but)
dont let me be misunderstood
im feeling good because of nina
so all praise due to the original
reasons of how we came about
before the digital-age
turned crates to graves
and one takes to one too many
on the ball? yes ya'll
eye keeps rolling mike jelly
morton with more in store
for the foreign listeners
so little kids listen up
get in line and ill be sure
sign a copy of your favorite cd
with a time signature
that goes:
1 for is the boom
2 for the bip
3 for the bap
and four/for something like this
