Judo Flip

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Asheru] I am the stone that the builder refused I am the visual, the inspiration that made lady sing the blues The spark that makes your idea bright The same spark that lights the dark So that you can know your left from your right I am the ballot in your box, the bullet your the gun The inner glow that let you know to call your brother son The story that just begun, promise of what's to come And I'mma remain a soldier till the war is won The streak that's in your drawers, sting of a hunger pain One to call out your flaws, the thing you don't wanna claim Pride and joy, your baby boy, your inner child's toy Your saving grace, the winner of the race, the b-boy A new age scholar, with millennium mind state Master of education, doctoral candidate And no, that ain't analogy of me through rap That's a true that, and for real a brother really judo flip [Chorus] Chop chop chop, a judo flip They say chop chop chop, a judo flip But once you hear the capital A, rap it'll stay With you for a while, and it won't go away Chop chop chop, a judo flip They say chop chop chop, a judo flip But once you hear the capital A, rap it'll stay With you for a while [Verse 2: Asheru] This is the tale of two cities, from to the hood to the woods Away from the nitty-gritty, to the now we all good No more, corner to corner liquor store and check cashing Now it's wall to wall shopping mall to spend cash in Lush greenery, beautiful scenery A quiet environment, no sirens or machinery And seems to be so peaceful and non-threatening But there goes the neighborhood as soon as we get get settled in I guess it's true the way the sayin' goes: You can change a wardrobe, but not the man under the clothes And you can walk a mile in these inner-city shoes But you still won't understand my inner-city blues Give thanks for the things that mean the most to me My family and all my other people that are close to me From the curb to the burbs, the gutter to the butter I'mma tell you how it is and tell you how we judo flip [Chorus] Chop chop chop, a judo flip They say chop chop chop, a judo flip But once you hear the capital A, rap it'll stay With you for a while, and it won't go away Chop chop chop, a judo flip They say chop chop chop, a judo flip But once you hear the capital A, rap it'll stay With you for a while, and it won't go away
