I'm broke in pieces  though my body's getting skinnier. But um
 I know some kids who want to hear them drums and plucking strings
 The Famous Players from the days with all them fucking things
 I got static in more ways than seventeen
 For DJ so & so and plus for the grafitti scene
 The shitty kids who don't like being told the way to dress
 I ain't even gonna say the names but you can probably guess
 No free publicity for stupid mister you-know-what
 The sheep in the meadow trying to dis 'cause of my hair cut
 I don't look nothing like the fashion pages' angry faces
 'Cause I do my shopping in the second hand clothing places
 That's all I can afford, not that the money's gone
 But I got more important things for me to spend the dollars on
 Especially vinyl, to be taken home and later played
 After I put groceries in the fridge and all the bills are paid
 Yeah, I'm making records how I think that they're supposed to sound
 A little deeper than what most people think is underground
 I'm not the type to drop spaghetti sauce and yell a slogan
 Flipping beats for people dancing in the clubs and voguin'
 Nah, this is dedicated to the dirty rats and scum
 Out there in gutter pipes, that know just where I'm coming from
 There's a better place for us to go an chill
 And be like doing our own type of thang-thang and still...

 This is a joke
 But many rappers wouldn't know
 This is a joke
 But most producers wouldn't know
 This is a joke
 A lot of DJs wouldn't know
 This is a joke
 I got your daughter sellin' watermelon


 Still rated hardcore X and still not carin'
 Down with the television set and Gil Scott Heron
 We got more important issues to address and settle
 Johnny Rockwell on the wheels that are made of metal
 Getting sick and taking home all the contest money
 The other challengers are wack and I think it's funny
 I take time out of my day for long distance calls
 Even though the phones are tapped and flies are on the walls
 I got like stress levels out of control because of cold-hearted
 Snakes and backstabbers are out here acting retarded
 Yeah, I know I shouldn't let them get the best of me
 'Cause when it comes to making it happen, I got the recipe
 Soup or nothing, I'm dropping old fashion science
 For the new recruits we got regular clients
 I'm guarantee'd to always hit the hammer on the nail
 I took a test to become an MC and didn't fail
 In fact, now I got the qualifications for me to teach
 And people come and pay to sit and listen to me give a speech
 Now I'm on the corner, beatboxing and whatnot
 All I want is to be able to be on a record label
 Fuck that! I don't even like the way them people look
 They wanna brainwash me, I don't like the way them people look!
 Back in the days with bass, the excitement lasted
 I left the fellas open, all the girls were flabbergasted

 This is a joke
 And many people still don't know
 This is a joke
 The boys and girls will never know
 This is a joke
 The senior citizens will never know
 This is a joke
 I got your daughter sellin' watermelon
