311 - JACKOLANTERN’S WEATHER Lyrics

Well I beat a bad rap when I skip a soul trapJust trippin’ and laughin’ at the crapDap is what I get the best skins that I hitYou know we rock the fuckin’ joint and we splitSingin’ an ryhmin’s what I’m better forWhen I describe I’m a scribe with a metaphorI use a simile lightly ’cuz that shits playedThe common way most ryhmes are made, ya knowI rock like this I flow like thatBut all those comparisons are just thatKickin’ different styles I’ll be right hereToday, tomorrow, next week and next yearI always say what I feel and that is a promiseNothing in life is above being honestSauna is cool compared to being on stageBut that’s how it’s gotta go in the stone ageThe fame in my game I name raptureLike a polished rock I’ll make it shine for sureWord is that I’ve traveled become unraveledI been around the world baby gimme an appleI’ll be your boogie man rather than son-of-samWhat I am is what I amThough we don’t have too long to love a day a nightWe only love those who, love us right backThe kid is smart the kid is cleverStompin’ in jack-o-lantern’s weatherBackpack strapped ’cuz the world is coldHeadphones pumpin’ don’t ya knowThe kid is smart the kid is cleverStompin’ in jack-o-latern’s weatherRocks his hood and plays it mellowWhile maple leaves change into yellowAnd oh shit damn honey at it againTryin’ to beat my high score since the age of tenSee my high score flash on the back glassI was malcontented doug in gifted classNow here’s the deal we came to heal we gonna rock in rioOh no it’s not a joke it’s how we feelPut to test like a sugar ray scientistI’m always dancing in my sunday bestI’m betting on my bliss and my path is lit’ seeThe microphone is live and I’m rockin’ my bodySmooth like reggie miller in an airborne freeze frameFunky like the kung-fu that can put you to shameChorusI’m like hey wait a minuteGive a check on two then I’m ready to begin itWith a boom boom bap coming outta your trunkiesGive a fat shout out to the phunk junkeezStriken like a cancer taken chancesBut I love to see the girl windin’ like the belly dancerStandin’ up front with a tight stomach showinMe on stage singin, flowinWe just kickin’ it live we just kickin’ it live’cuz if you can’t kick it live you gonna die’fraid so punk so quit talkin’ junkYou need a live show like a ball player needs a dunk
