KISH - I Rhyme The World In 80 Days lyrics

rate me

I'm going on a voyage, to rock the globe

As I rome, I return, after a long journey home

From nation to destination, it ain't a vacation

So let me bust a conversation

Top spinners, I went globe-trotting

So I grab the pen and the rhymes I started jottin'

Tales return of a trip that were made to amaze

I rhymed the world in 80 days

[Chorus]

I rhymed the world baby (in 80 days)

I rhymed the world, oh yeah

The first stop is France, the land of romance

The city of lights, ladies and love, with a crazy night life

Brushin' up my voulez-vous and my p's and q's

Sportin' a pair of Air Jordan shoes

Steppin' at eleven o'clock

Ladies, whatever's clever, I'm a jock

I met a young girl named Yvette in a very tight sweater

Wait, it gets better

Small talk, let's take a walk, I gave her eyes afire

She told me "you're my one desire"

Let's share champagne and rain showers

Catch the sunrise, over the Eiffel Tower

Yvette, don't take it as a dis, but I'm gonna miss you

Please don't cry, here's a tissue

I'll be back, you'll always be in my heart

But you know, I've got to go, 'cause

[Chorus]

Off to the Soviet Union, I'm showin' improvin'

Killin' emcees and I just keep on movin'

Rhymes are set razor-sharp

Ready to battle any sucker who starts up

Got on the mic, load it up and test it

Cool, and busted out the bullet-proof vest

Ready to roll and I'm strapped, wait a minute

Double check...forgot the baseball hat

Stickin' to picks, but I was spoted (by who?)

An agent, the KGB, yo, they're on it

He was ready to step but I was settin'

It was my move next and I had one move left

Play it cool and I passed him

Turned around, dropped down, pulled out my mic to match him

He ran down and ally and I lost him

So I ran faster, bionic style like Steve Austin

Turned the corner, hit an ambush

Translation: Russians, waitin' on a bum-rush

There's nowhere to go and they jumped me

Tied me up, and dumped me in the back of a truck

I was taken, they were shaken me up with a joint

With a gun at my head to reinforce the point

And they said "you'd better leave"

And I said "there ain't no way"

I looked at the gun, then I said "Well, ok"

But as I got on the plane to break out of the place

I said "hey, remember the face"

'Cause I'll be back to attack, and this you can know

But I've got to go, 'cause

[Chorus]

Last stop, it's the motherland

(yo Kish, you went to Africa?)

Nah, Japan

Return to learn of the roots in a search to prove

When the brain is fed, I'll bust loose

Readin' the race, the lies that are hidin'

And bring new vision forth to the consience

Son of the rising sun land to stand as one

It runs in the family, Shogun

Met the masters of mind who asigned me a task

To kick a rhyme solo, fast or slow

To do it with the knowledge and wisdom

A hundred and eighty degrees of beats give them

Bow to each of the teachers and left for the west

So ends the eighty day quest

Now I'm back, but I'll be leavin' again

Before you know, 'cause I've got to go, 'cause

[Chorus]
