Lyrics
0:26Slap me Jack
0:27We sat down in the back of the class
0:29To seize knowledge we don't need
0:30I forgot my late pass
0:32But I'm early to a rival beatbox
0:34You got raps
0:35Meet me on the football field
0:36Don't sleep on field the quarterback
0:37No one clapped when we locked in
0:39It was removal of our class
0:40But my flag got captured
0:42And I fell between the cracks
0:43My tool for inspiration turned into a handicap
0:46No matter how I tried
0:48I just couldn't fill the gaps
0:49Those whipper snappers
0:51They got trapped old chap
0:52They lost the way
0:54They never had the right map
0:55Needed a sneak attack to slap the demons off my back
0:58So I packed for the shtetl dreamed big I wouldn't settle
1:01Put the pedal to the metal and returned to fundamentals
1:04I'll never forget running through the hall with all y'all rebels
1:07Roaming through the Highlands young bucks invincible
1:10Echoes in my brain if kids report to the principle
1:13Substance dulls the mind
1:15Traife wine clouds the heart
1:18You can't sew a stitch with one hand
1:21While you're taking it apart
1:24Bright lights might look nice
1:27But they sure won't make you sharp
1:30You can't sew a stitch with one hand
1:33While you're taking it apart
1:36Yeah misty morning and my mum's a mess
1:38To make matters worse dog my pops is stressed
1:41Life is a test make the grade or catch an F
1:44Now death is all that's left to ponder
1:46I wander off hoping to catch my breath
1:48And hold it mold my memories from untold scripts
1:50And roll up in a tornado twist now I'm certain
1:54There's a pertinent reason I'm on this earth
1:56Seasons change in white plains but we remain alert
1:59When new school years appear fools fear for a failure
2:02And crawl away in tears
2:03I play Popeye the Sailor and stay with spinach
2:06We walk the halls with a grimace
2:08Yeah they gossip in groups
2:09I try to mind my business and tell the truth
2:11For instance I listen
2:13See it all with basketball court vision
2:15Ignoring ignorance in fields of fiction
2:17We lean back in the calmest position
2:19And embrace the honesty found within our tension
2:22What's good
2:23Substance dulls the mind
2:25Traife wine clouds the heart
2:28You can't sew a stitch with one hand
2:31While you're taking it apart
2:35Bright lights make you blind
2:37But they sure don't leave you sharp
2:40You can't sew a stitch with one hand
2:43While you're taking it apart
2:53Trapped in the elevator of your mind
2:58Is it real what will you find behind the door
3:06Your imaginations put you in a bind
3:13Around you there's a cloud of gloom
3:17Swallow the key lock yourself in a room
3:19Can't see outside of your Universe
3:21No more war there won't be anymore hunger
3:25No jealousy not even competition
3:27Let go release you hold the keys
3:31Time we evaporate into the breeze
3:33We are nothing we are something
3:36Let go release you hold the keys
3:39It's time we evaporate into the breeze
3:42We are nothing we'll be something
3:45Welcome to the desert of my soul
3:48You can stay if you like
3:49There's room for one more
3:52There's room for one more
Slap me Jack We sat down in the back of the class To seize knowledge we don't need I forgot my late pass But I'm early to a rival beatbox You got raps Meet me on the football field Don't sleep on field the quarterback No one clapped when we locked in It was removal of our class But my flag got captured And I fell between the cracks My tool for inspiration turned into a handicap No matter how I tried I just couldn't fill the gaps Those whipper snappers They got trapped old chap They lost the way They never had the right map Needed a sneak attack to slap the demons off my back So I packed for the shtetl dreamed big I wouldn't settle Put the pedal to the metal and returned to fundamentals I'll never forget running through the hall with all y'all rebels Roaming through the Highlands young bucks invincible Echoes in my brain if kids report to the principle Substance dulls the mind Traife wine clouds the heart You can't sew a stitch with one hand While you're taking it apart Bright lights might look nice But they sure won't make you sharp You can't sew a stitch with one hand While you're taking it apart Yeah misty morning and my mum's a mess To make matters worse dog my pops is stressed Life is a test make the grade or catch an F Now death is all that's left to ponder I wander off hoping to catch my breath And hold it mold my memories from untold scripts And roll up in a tornado twist now I'm certain There's a pertinent reason I'm on this earth Seasons change in white plains but we remain alert When new school years appear fools fear for a failure And crawl away in tears I play Popeye the Sailor and stay with spinach We walk the halls with a grimace Yeah they gossip in groups I try to mind my business and tell the truth For instance I listen See it all with basketball court vision Ignoring ignorance in fields of fiction We lean back in the calmest position And embrace the honesty found within our tension What's good Substance dulls the mind Traife wine clouds the heart You can't sew a stitch with one hand While you're taking it apart Bright lights make you blind But they sure don't leave you sharp You can't sew a stitch with one hand While you're taking it apart Trapped in the elevator of your mind Is it real what will you find behind the door Your imaginations put you in a bind Around you there's a cloud of gloom Swallow the key lock yourself in a room Can't see outside of your Universe No more war there won't be anymore hunger No jealousy not even competition Let go release you hold the keys Time we evaporate into the breeze We are nothing we are something Let go release you hold the keys It's time we evaporate into the breeze We are nothing we'll be something Welcome to the desert of my soul You can stay if you like There's room for one more There's room for one more
