MR. SOS - As The Globe Turns lyrics

rate me

As the globe turns...

Millionaires get rich and let their dough burn (dough burn)

Homeless can't afford to watch a stove burn (stove burn)

Children can go to school they still don't learn

People act like they got no germs as the globe turns

I was brought into this world with my legs, my head, my dick, my arms

And an umbillical cord that connected me to my moms

Conceived as an Aries, dome slightly hairy

Vision slightly blurry, face bright red like a cherry

Doctors with surgical masks smackin me on my ass

Stashed in a nursery behind a wall of glass

Already missin the sound of mommy's heart bumpin

Make me wanna jump out this crib and start somethin

To replace the low tone, I heard for so long

Heard it again in the car when we started to go home

Comin from the speakers in the back, (what?), and made my clock stop

The notes jumped out and danced on my head under my soft spot

As I grew I learned this was called music

I tried to make music on my grandfather's acoustic guitar

A little star who still believed in Santa

Pluckin the strings randomly thinkin I'm Santana

With bad grammar and a Pacman score that's high

Learned my first rhyme when I was like four or five

Wrote my first rhyme at 11 and it sucked

But I was still bustin flows before I learned to bust nuts - what the fuck

As the globe turns, all life is doin is fading

But you're still growin when you're just a little kid playin

My first crush I remember was in the fourth grade and

The first president I remember is Ronald Reagan

But fast forward to 91' where me and my friends be

I started rippin' at talent shows and school assemblies

Fingers trembling, stage-fright for 'bout a minute

But once I got in it, all you saw was clappin and grinnin

What happened I did it? Then I looked at one of my classmates

A little girl depressed cause it was her last day

A wise chick who was believed to be a psychic

Who could read your mind just by touching both of your eyelids

She walked up and just stared at me for a minute

Scarin me a minute til I finally said "what is it? "

And what happened next I remember it so clear

What she said to me with a smile on her face from ear to ear

She said "You're supernatural, you have super abilities

That you won't discover til you're older, " I said "You're kidding me"

"No, " then my face started to glow, "I gotta go... by the way, good show"

I used to have a teacher that kept his classroom cold as Alaska

Cause he said it kept his students awake and workin faster

So when I write a rap I take a pen out of the pack

Wear my thinkin cap and put 70 on the thermostat

Hopin my words'll attract people in all states

So when I'm gone my name will live on like the greats

Beethoven, Shakespeare, Edgar Allen, Bach

Biggie Smalls, Big Pun, Big L and Tupac

Watch, I even freestyled in my bed

When I'm dreamin and then I wake up and write what I just said

In my fantasy, and make fantasy reality

And even when I'm battling I hold it down like gravity

So casually I plan to follow the yellow brick road

Or the path in my dreams to see what the future holds

Sometimes I dream of monsters like Starship Troopers

Could this be a reflection of a past life or the future?

Or could it be demons comin in my dreams to discourage me

And go to war with me like Freddy Krueger, and murder me?

Never. I got protection in these hard times

I could've died when I flipped my Blazer four times

But I stood up, without a scratch on me like "what happened? "

No sign of blood gashes, either God loves rappers

Or his script to the book of life is taking control

And I'm playing a large role, as the globe turns

Every man and every woman is a star

Way up in the sky

And if we can repel each other

I tell you, our souls will never die
