De La Soul - Potholes in my lawn

Tekst :

Yo, something s wrong here. No, not again!)
(Get the daisies for the...)
Potholes in my lawn
DOVE:
Everybody s sayin
What to do when suckin lunatics start diggin and chewin
They don t know that the Soul don t go for that
Potholes in my lawn
And that goes for my rhyme sheet
Which I concentrated so hard on, see
I don t ask for maximum security
But my dwellin is swellin
It nipped my bud when I happened to fall
Into a spot
Where no ink or an ink-blot
Was on a scroll
I just wrote me a new mot
But now it s gone
There s no
Suckers knew that I hate
To recognise that every time I m writin
It s gone
(Yodel-a-hee, Yodel-oh-hee, Yodel-a)
(Yodel-a-hee, Yodel-oh-hee, Yodel-ee-hee-hee-hee)
Potholes in my lawn
POS:
I ve found that it s not wise
To leave my garden untended
Cause eyes have now pardoned all laws of privacy
Even paws are after my writer
See, I ve found that everyone s sayin
What to do when suckers are preyin
On my well-guarded spreadsheets
Oh why, hell does it send up fleets
Of evil-doers through the big hole
To get to evil-doers who dig holes
Which leaves my lawn with lawn-chew
I think I d better plant traces to give clues
Or better yet call 911
And when they get here I inform them I m the Plug One
Open a chair and let them realize the reason
For concern of the Soul,
Cause we ve come down with a case of potholes
(Yodel-a-hee, Yodel-oh-hee, Yodel-a)
(Yodel-a-hee, Yodel-oh-hee, Yodel-ee-hee-hee-hee)
Potholes in my lawn
(Who stole, who stole, who stole the cookie
from the cookie jar?)
DOVE:
Now you got the message
What to do when you die
The death that I predict in Plug Tunin
It s a shame that you deny to claim
That you stole my words of fame
That I wrote in my rhyme sheet
Which I concentrated so hard on, see
I don t ask for a barbed wire fence, B
But my dwellin is swellin
It nipped my bud when I happened to fall
Into a spot
Where no ink or an ink-blot
Was on a scroll
I just wrote me a new mot
But now it s gone there s no
Suckers knew that I hate
To recoginse that every time I m writin
It s gone
Potholes in my lawn
(Yodel-a-hee, Yodel-oh-hee, Yodel-a)
(Yodel-a-hee, Yodel-oh-hee, Yodel-ee-hee-hee-hee)

    Trail of insects

    Maggots feast, eternal whisper
    eating through your soul
    in your head their bodies glisten
    the stench of death is foul
    riot inside you
    swarming around and through
    crucified
    a trail of insects down your spine
    vermin inside you
    control you

    On the edge

    Lonely children they cry, out of the dark
    but why don’t we hear
    The world we leave ‘em behind is droning in blood
    that’s spilled in a war

    And we get used of terror in here
    we only close our eyes

    All...

    Waiting to see

    The darkness of these starlit skies sets down upon my tired eyes
    And I’m waiting for the last uncertainty
    I’ve walked across these streets before and it always seemed outside your door
    The heaviness subsides so I can breath

    And I’m waiting to see you. Waiting to be you. Waiting to see.

    CHORUS
    If I can...

    Steel invaders

    Vengeance will be mine
    Riders from hell
    Black on black
    The magic will never cease
    The metal troops will increase
    Believers of the holy flame
    Fools are no part of the game
    Nothing is gonna stand in our way
    We fight forevermore
    Until the last man will fall
    Time to start the war
    Raise the metal fist in the air
    Brothers everywhere
    Raise...

    Into the abyss

    Standing on the edge, and I m looking down
    Into the darkness, everywhere and all around
    I see people fall and lose their grounds
    Another war and another thousand deaths
    Everyday the streets are painted red
    So many homeless without a bed

    I can t believe it s true
    The end for me and you
    O, Lord please...
