lyrics

[parts i, ii & iv are taken from a March 2010 piano improvisation / freestyle, Nefisa Studio, USA]

iii) Down [Rap spit by Mr. Mego Misdaq]

.....down into:

“I’m a stunna / I do it for the fun-a / White robes flow, I’m a regal brotha / And a lover, there never be another / I buy a mansion for my mother / Cash 4 Gold, cheap like bad presents / But your soul is gold you can’t sell your essence / Pawn your presence, you can’t redeem / Poo-poo brown (it could never be clean) / Yoshi tellin’ you the things to do / You can listen or keep goin missing on youtube / And you wonder where the time goes in the day? / You got a lotta nerve to be thinking that way (ha!) / I’m a preacher, always been a teacher, I don’t give a ‘cos I’m a spit like me sir / I wear robes, I walk in the thawb, I saw wise-things then I run in the globe / Keep travelling, keep unravell-ing / I dive in while you’re on the fence, straddling / (your balls hurt) / You’re still babbling / I break thru, I’m a gold-tipped javelin / Divine adrenaline, give my thoughts feelings, it’s kinda like a dance-floor that’s also a ceiling / Mix much, make it magic and magnificent / I don’t give a kiss if you see me as insignificant / Pink lips, can’t help but
talk / Pink brain in a wasteland of weakness / Wackness is you saying, ‘it’s okay, I’ll keep this.’ / No greatness, a pond of pasty meekness / [Puffy] ego’s full of air, can’t stand the steepness / .... /
