[00:00.95]Yeah, Kool Keith should keep it real
[00:02.74]He should rap about space and Mars
[00:06.38]Yo, I'm tired of looking at everybody, same boots, skully hats in
[00:10.83]90 degree weather, looking to get into clubs for free
[00:14.42]I'm not smoking blunts, or looking for jazz records at the Roosevelt
[00:18.04]I left New York, the city itself was stress depression
[00:20.70]High boots and urban beats, that wasn't my direction
[00:23.58]Producers filtering join in with R&B
[00:26.27]A million rappers, some clones trying to sound like me
[00:28.92]Biting my space styles, biting my horror core
[00:31.63]All I saw was Kool Keiths on my thaw
[00:35.22]Record companies had G'd off all my royalties
[00:37.02]Watching vinyl spin, local groups' wack MC's
[00:39.79]Some try to rap with that perpetrate mobster crap
[00:42.41]Karl Kani jeans, fat stomachs in the limousines
[00:46.03]Mixtapes by wack DJ's adds doo doo play
[00:47.87]I'm on the turnpike, the city drifting down the highway
[00:50.65]Like a mirage, the style there is all illusion
[00:53.32]On videos out of town, peoples buy confusion
[00:56.92]Rolling high with cash pulled over down my eye
[00:58.78]Since I've been out, y'all can't see
[01:01.49]Is the world made of plastic?
[01:04.10]Is the city buried in dreams? Yeah

[01:12.26]Is the world made of plastic?
[01:14.99]Is the city buried in dreams? Yeah
[01:17.62]Watching TV so bored, while imbeciles hold the mic cord
[01:20.38]Graffiti playgrounds are played out, yo how'd that sound?
[01:23.18]Army fatigues are weak, is for the minor leagues
[01:25.86]No rapping cyphers or brothers in the rented Benz
[01:28.53]Crews on stage, acting hard with a thousand friends
[01:31.23]I saw the place turn plastic, crackers looping beats
[01:33.94]People with no deals, walk men rappin' on the streets
[01:36.67]I turned my back, 90 percent of the city sounded wack
[01:39.35]Payola scams switched DJ's like a rubber band
[01:42.09]Everybody clear with beats trying to be Premier
[01:44.78]Clearing samples, your SP-12 fake examples
[01:47.43]My money grows with green from my own label
[01:50.16]While you act rich with no cash on the bigger label
[01:52.90]Your tri state ways are shut down by barricades
[01:55.67]In fact I packed my bags, and listened to E-40
[01:59.28]Mac Mall, C-Bo, and other rappers you don't know
[02:01.01]You're narrow minded and styles of mind you won't find it
[02:03.77]My sound proceeds with moog and undertone bass
[02:06.40]No comic gimmicks with beats rapping in my face
[02:09.15]I come back real, solid rock razor steel
[02:11.84]Taping your program, show the world I'm the man
[02:14.55]You copy Poppa Large, the industry is large

[02:38.98]As I do see sorta rugged wack beer commercials
[02:40.76]Some rappers are bought and puppeteered like the Ninja Turtles
[02:44.32]From Manhattan I heat up, yo light up Times Square
[02:46.17]I make noise like open high hats on your cheap snare
[02:48.82]No promotional shows, girls wear corn rows
[02:51.56]People with hooded sweaters on crack keep me on my toes
[02:55.20]I walk with straw hats, fake glasses in the projects
[02:57.07]Bring my ghost image so tense on the line of scrimmage
[02:59.73]Playing my numbers, waiting for the five to come
[03:02.46]Spaghetti out the window, people acting dumb
[03:05.16]Fire hazards wake the neighbors, your family's nosy
[03:07.81]I come and go as I please on blockhead MC's
[03:10.59]You bought new sneakers, no car, scrambling on the corner
[03:13.23]I'm not the star you are, the city's fallen far
[03:15.92]By mechanism, you're on my tip
[03:18.67]Stay off my penis, you've duplicated me for years
[03:21.32]Yeah, yeah, yeah, you are the one
