Do This My Way

Lyrics

I be the first ever Asian astronaut
 Blastin' off, castin' off
 The ties that bind like a smashed guitar
 Rode a mastodon out Jurassic Park
 Chased by a fan in a Tyrannosaur mask
 Trampled the traffic cop
 Past the spot
 Where the ostrich got all the props for the ocelot
 What I couldn't of bought
 'Cause they wouldn't a popped it y'all
 Just for me to cop it one
 So I had to be up
 I'm going gradually up
 Into the galaxy bus
 Until I can't feel my lungs
 I pass the family up
 I see an enemy's bus
 Saw the anatomy up
 A cast of ballerinas
 Now I was walkin' down this one block
 Didn't hear a gun shot
 Smellin' hell of nature
 Pickin' fruit off of a kumquat
 Tree, another day up in this life under the sunspot
 Light upon my innervision, searchin' for an answer
 Heredetory, man-in-glory, days of the missle fury inventory took
 And while I raise
 Rain began to fall from the verbal dance I did amaze all the natives
 And the ladies said "You're crazy, would you love to have my baby?"
 And I plays with the chief of the Mohicans and the Sheikh
 And travelled everywhere from Delaware way up to Mozambique
 Was givin' praise with the Deacon at the steeple
 Spirit-seekin' on the weekend with a tea can and a pair of old shades
 It's such a beautiful thing
 This musical thing
 When I can do it my way
 And shootin' no blanks
 I just refute what you think
 A quite unusual thing
 Yes it's a mutual thing
 'Cause it's the root of all things, and we aims to be
 The venomist, instrumentalist, syllabal-mystic man traveller
 Skippin' through the brakes on a Wednesday into a city plaza
 Tryin' to make it 20 out of 15 pennies on the after
 The cold hearted world creepin' on my destiny like salamanders
 Enchanters, 'cause I run their goose and I be the gander
 Cleanin' out the digestive tract of hip-hop like cranberries
 Shinin' like amber
 All of the children told me "Damn you're an
 Answer to our ears and deadly threat that's posed by cancer"
 On Prancer, on Comet, on Cupid, I'm Santa
 Got more flow than Flo Jo, while I laugh Ho Ho Ho, Got jo jo dancer
 Punchlines, I'm a Crunchtime Casper, and a one-time champion for it
 A hundred lifetimes in the hereafter, and for the reincarnation tranform
 What the heck I'll come back for it
 Gotta handle chores now, and discuss all of that with God afterwards
 We goin' bobsled off the Himalayas
 With the bottle of bop-shoo-bop blended with Baileys'
 In a big ol' box full of the latest compilations
 And then we won't stop til we hit the Appalachians
 To the Bulletts Bargain Basement
 Then 'cross the Baltic ocean basin
 Then ride 'cross that Oakland bay bridge
 A drop deposit in the drop tropic Caymans
 Bakin' cakes that taste like theacrine
 Makin' eggs, potatoes, raisins, plaintains, M&M's, Peanuts, grape juice
 I'm savin' my pay checks to get my plane fixed why's that?
 We goin' fly all night, stop the propellors and
 Jump out of the side with umbrellas and
 Let's make them all night the caterpillars that
 Take us to the top the Himalayas
 It's such a beautiful thing
 This musical thing
 When I can do it my way
 And shootin' no blanks
 I just refute what you think
 A quite unusual thing
 Yes it's a mutual thing
 'Cause it's the root of all things, and we aim
 A lot of people follow shallow fellows, hollerin' indeed
 About to lead 'em all to battle upon the bottom of the beat
 And plant a seed of thought that sproutin'
 Like a balance like a teeter-totter
 Seen a lot of freedom bound to feet and 'bout to beat the drama
 Now he began to dis
 Until the nurse, the passengers had grabbed his shirts
 And nothin' happened assured the captain and the person
 But the pressure had expanded, and inertia burst, the cabin burst
 And all 'em burgers, blankets, rations, animals and drinks
 They flew out
 Fleeds a lot of band
 Climb upon the wall like Peter Parker
 Meter of the creed of darker regions
 Darker seasons
 These are not the reasons for the grief
 And now proceed to outer-reaches
 How to keep styles from seepin' outta me
 They flew out
 The fusilage
 Had blew in time
 It stupid to have
 The attitude
 When you would dive
 Into the ground
 Now if you'd have thought
 Of suicide
 If you would try
 But you would tie
 A parachute
 Onto a slide
 And took a dive
 Now who's alive?
 It's such a beautiful thing
 This musical thing
 When I can do it my way
 And shootin' no blanks
 I just refute what you think
 A quite unusual thing
 Yes it's a mutual thing
 'Cause it's the root of all things, and we aim
