RICHEST MAN IN BABYLON

Verse I: Cursor
Put down the axe; So why don’t you sit down and relax; Here is a pen and a pad and some Konica; Life has its twists, but it ain’t half bad when most Saturdays are best spent chillin out at the lab; Kind of glad we too the time to calculate the math; Put strategy behind every single advance; Put my life down on tape and dedicate this take to my dad; Who once said and I quote,” You can be the richest man alive, and still be broke”;

Verse II: Sweet-1
Safe to say yesterday I was a little younger; Full of hunger, positivety and wonder; Like why is the sky blue? What can I do, to talk to girls without them knowing their being lied to? Try to hide the voices inside my head; If you ain’t livin then you are already dead; Abide by rules made by fools who were spoon feed; If you ain’t livin then you are already dead; Send my apologies; Sorry for the Confidence; Sorry for the Heartache and all the broken promises; One day we will look back and laugh as the past grows older and fades to black; The lines been cast, not sure if I’m the bait; Sank for the dead wait of not having my head straight; I hate to be a pessimist, but how can I resist; Walk away slowly, you know you will be missed; Walk away slowly, you know you will be missed; She walks away slowly and blows me a kiss;

Verse III: Menu 8
Keen senses drop fresh with the nice approach; I deliver on the ease with the extra note; Come with the daily really on the really; Patrick to the Swazie; America’s getting crazy; I walk from curb to curb grind gears disturbed; Seen people get hurt exchanging words while I’m observing birds; Losing nerves and understanding you cant’ plan them; Look forward and smile, you’ll learn to stand them; Improvision at its best, the life’s test; Read the newspaper the other day and I got depressed; A hot topic, I fly like a rocket; Spacely sprocket futuristic I’m slightly autistic; I’m first to get blistered while blazing in the sun; Put extra stuff in songs to get your ears sprung; Bottom dollar I’m worth you cause; Bottom dollar I’m worth you cause; Is she worth your cause; Is she worth your cause; She said that I was blessed, she read it in my cards.
