The Undercard

Sixth floor walk-up work off the gut
Two steps at a time apartment E9
Whaddup whaddup they're cooking dinner
Garlic onion ginger duck in the back room
Settle up
The new shit wild, got me ready to bust a nut
Pardon eat like I'm starving small
Talk the clock ticks
I gotta split gotta gig nah it's nothing big
Don't get up see myself out
Breath in the doubt sip fear from chalice
Pushed a Ton with no Malice
Turned the corner like Kennedy in Dallas
Emptied out Phnom Penh
Sat alone in the palace
Illiterate so they put his name in ballads
Words spinning in my head
Verses unraveling into threads
But that re-up stay stuck to the glass
Like a big neon sign screaming TAKE THE CASH
Hit the venue nondescript
They don't know the half pounds all around
When I get to the back stage
Pacing animal in a cage
Somewhere between let me at 'em
And let's get this over with
Declined the spliff they took it as a diss
Like I waved away picks
But never one to bite my tongue
Professor Griff put my bag by the steps
Hit the stage and crushed the
Place like that's it!
And never once did I take an eye off my shit
