Scrolls to lyrics to bust I roll 'em up with the papyrus, funk sealed, in God we trust I laid it down from circumference to dry space And now I'm back again, quite lyrical, to kick my bass Energized by another plane By logical fanatics, when trying to examine my brain They can't beat me, so they try to eat me! They can't keep me, so they try to freak me Positive sin, again and again, degrees in a spin Verbs all your silly mortal g-g-grin Make you feel you could drown in some godly waters Take control of your body like the farmer's daughter And as you beg for control, what's the reason? What's the reason?
