Once Upon A Rhyme lyrics

[The Grouch]

Follow me, follow me

I`m goin.. on a little, excursion

Check it out



Won`t you take me away, sweet music

Take me away..

Never lead me astray, I use it

to get through the day..



Like fiends use drugs and, cars use gas

I`m one with the beat but how long will it last

I, once had a vision that, every flower dies

so now I ride the rhythm without pride



I used to have a gray Sanyo, the kind with one speaker

No antenna I used tinfoil to help me pick the weaker powered

stations of my shit was set on cable, bumpin

Pause record to press just in case I caught somethin

I always did, just a kid and that`s literal

Daddy used to tell me turn that shit off

if I didn`t he would get a fool

I turned it down to dub it, listened to it later

He knew how much I loved it, but rather I`d be a skater

or a baseball player



- C`mon dad, let me just hear it

I said no!

- It`s only five more minutes, please please

- Slick Rick`s about to come on

Go to your room!



So now I`m sixteen, tryin to fuckin mix things

No money in my pockets just desires and some big dreams

My homey got an SP, I really wanna freak it but he won`t let me

Let`s see, what am I to do?

I waited for school to get out then I scrounged together big bank

Put mine with Jelani`s went in halves and now the beats crank

if only for a second though for it was a Mirage

And that`s a pun intended in the garage we pretended and meet

I recommend it, strugglin independence

An apprentice not a pro from the get go

Music so genuine, don`t even have to speak on it

Got it in my veins but, I`ma let em bleed



Won`t you take me away, sweet music

Take me away..

Never lead me astray, I use it

to get through the day..



Like fiends use drugs and, cars use gas

I`m one with the beat but how long can it last

said I, once had a vision that, every flower died

so now I ride the rhythm without pride



What the hell`s a Journeyman?Hipped me to the game

Katie brought em by and life would never be the same

What you say is what they said, pushed my head towards a new realm

seldom ever seen, now we clean, call them crews ? and you out

what I do through a tape and tryin to captivate live

Met up with MPX, Sidol-P, and MOS and felt the vibe

We let it ride one, season to the next

And then we took it, worldwide, came back and couldn`t rest

Was so impressed when I met Eligh,

and the man to make you really see why

you shouldn`t speak up in a battle, that`ll bring us next to

Mister Nomemono man, do you feel diversity

The Universe MC was next to perfectly X

Acute a freak of nature, and Bizarre`s on the fader

We major, our music`s major



Won`t you take me away, sweet music

Take me away..

and never lead me astray, I use it

to get through the day..



Like fiends use drugs and, cars use gas

I`m one with the beat but how long can it last

said I once had a vision that, every flower died

so now I ride the rhythm without pride



I said I once had a vision that, every flower died

so now I ride the rhythm without pride
