Curbside Prophet

[00:10.91] I'm just a curbside prophet
[00:12.57] With my hand in my pocket
[00:13.79] And I'm waiting for my rocket to come
[00:16.09] I'm just a curbside prophet
[00:17.79] With my hand in my pocket
[00:19.12] And I'm waiting for my rocket, ya'll
[00:22.34]
[00:32.43] Y'see it started way back in NYC
[00:35.09] When I stole my first rhyme from the M.I.C.
[00:37.85] At a west end avenue at 63
[00:40.85] The beginning of a leap year, February, '96
[00:43.80] With a guitar picked up in the mix
[00:46.19] I committed to the licks like a nickel bag of tricks
[00:48.72] Well look at me now
[00:50.48] Look at me now
[00:51.65] Look at me now, now, now, now
[00:54.12] I'm just a curbside prophet
[00:55.61] With my hand in my pocket
[00:56.92] And I'm waiting for my rocket to come
[00:59.29] I'm just a curbside prophet
[01:01.07] With my hand in my pocket
[01:02.15] And I'm waiting for my rocket, ya'll
[01:05.42]
[01:15.74] Well you're never gonna guess
[01:17.11] Where I've been been been
[01:18.45] And I have no regrets
[01:19.70] That I bet my whole checking account
[01:21.78] Because it all amounts to nothing up in the end
[01:24.86] Well you can only count on the road again
[01:27.48] We'll soon be on the radio dial
[01:29.24] And i been payin' close attention to the Willie Nelson style
[01:31.88] Like a band of gypsies on the highway while
[01:34.52] As I'm one man pushin' on the California skyline drive
[01:37.75] Up the coast I brag and I boast
[01:39.96] Because I 'm pickin' up my pace
[01:41.41] And makin' time like space ghost
[01:43.15] Raising a toast to the highway patrol with the most
[01:45.35] Put my cruise control's on coast
[01:48.13] 'Cause I'm tourin' around the nation
[01:49.78] On extended vacation see
[01:51.04] I got Elsa the dog who exceeds my limitation
[01:53.49] I say, i like your style, crazy pound pup!
[01:56.02] You need a ride
[01:57.54] Well come on, girl, hop in the truck!
[01:59.08] I'm just a curbside prophet
[02:00.45] With my hand in my pocket
[02:01.63] And I'm waiting for my rocket to come
[02:03.83] I'm just a curbside prophet
[02:05.58] With my hand in my pocket
[02:07.05] And I'm waiting for my rocket, ya'll
[02:09.35] I'm just a curbside prophet
[02:11.07] With my hand in my pocket
[02:12.32] And I'm waiting for my rocket to come on
[02:14.72] I'm just a curbside prophet
[02:16.41] With my hand in my pocket
[02:17.64] And I'm waiting for my rocket, ya'll
[02:20.16] See I'm a down home brother, redneck undercover
[02:23.12] With my guitar here
[02:24.42] I'm ready to play
[02:25.63] And I'm s a sucker for a filly
[02:27.21] Got a natural ability I'm geared to freestyle
[02:29.97] Look at my flexibility
[02:31.62] Dangerous at the mike
[02:32.93] My ghetto hat's cocked right
[02:34.03] All the ladies say, yo, that kid is crazy
[02:36.69] The backstage Betties taking more than they can get
[02:39.45] They say, what's up with M-R-A-Z?
[02:41.70] Hey, hey, hey hey!
[02:43.34] Hey! something's different in my world today
[02:47.39] Well they changed my traffic sign
[02:50.07] To a brighter yellow
[02:52.48] Hey, hey, something's different in my world today
[02:58.18] They changed my traffic sign to a brighter yellow
[03:03.20] I'm just a curbside prophet
[03:06.33] Curbside prophet now
[03:09.17] Curbside prophet now
[03:11.86] Curbside oh
[03:14.46] Come on! I'm just curbside prophet now
[03:17.11] Waiting for my rocket
[03:18.94] Waiting for my rocket to come
[03:21.42]
