->''I am the stone that builder refused,\\
I am the visual; the inspiration \\
that made Lady Sing the Blues \\
The spark that makes your idea bright,\\
the same spark that lights the dark \\
so that you can know your left from your right \\
I am the ballot in the box, the bullet in ya gun, \\
the inner glow that lets you know to call your brother son, \\
the story that just begun,\\
the promise of what's to come,\\
and I'mma remain a soldier till the war is won\\
The streets, they see ya drawls\\
Sing of a hunger, pain \\
Want to call out 'cha flaws \\
The thing you don't wanna claim \\
Pride and joy, ya baby boy \\
Your inner child's toy\\
Your saving grace, the winner of the race, the b-boy \\
A new age scholar, with millennium mindstate \\
Master of education, doctor or candidate \\
No, that ain't analogy of me through rap\\
That's a true that, and for real, a brother really judo flip-- \\
\\
Chop chop chop, judo flip, \\
they say chop chop chop, judo --\\
But once you hear the capital A, rap it or stay \\
With you for a while, and it won't go away\\
Hey, hey--\\
Chop chop chop, judo flip, \\
they say chop chop chop, judo flip\\
But once you hear the capital A, rap it or stay \\
With you for a while...\\
\\
This is the tale of two cities:\\
From to the hood to the woods \\
Away from the nitty-gritty \\
to the "Nah, we all good," no more, \\
corner-to-corner liquor store with check, cash, and now it's, \\
wall to wall shoppin' mall to spend cash, in \\
Lush greenery, beautiful scenery, \\
Acquired environment, no sirens or machinery, \\
And seems to be, so peaceful and unthreatenin' \\
But there goes the neighborhood, as soon as we get get settled in\\
I guess it's true, the way the sayin' goes:\\
"You can change a wardrobe, \\
but not the man under the clothes,"\\
And you can, walk a mile in these inner-city shoes\\
But you still won't understand my inner-city blues\\
I give thanks, for the things that mean the most to me\\
My family, and all my other people that are close to me\\
From the curb to the burbs,\\
the gutter to the butter\\
I'mma tell you how it is, and tell you how we Judo Flip--\\
\\
Chop chop chop, judo flip, \\
they say chop chop chop, judo --\\
But once you hear the capital A, rap it or stay \\
With you for a while, and it won't go away\\
Hey, hey, hey--\\
Chop chop chop, judo flip, \\
they say chop chop chop, judo flip\\
But once you hear the capital A, rap it or stay \\
With you for a while and it won't go away\\
Hey, hey...''
