Hickory dickery oh shocks

L.O.G checked his clock

But it seemed to have stopped

Guess he was out of luck

You might think it’s funny by that silly intro

But no no no no no no people no

This is as serious as it could be

Coming from those bothering thoughts in me

Well you know I love my music and my rap

Still people tell me kid you’re not black

What does that got to do with rap now

We passed that stage, ain’t we now

So don’t give me that negative stare

I earn my keeps that’s why I’m here

I got a major plan

To make a better land

And if you don’t understand

Why don’t you tell me man

What’s this about black power uprising revolution

Why can’t we make it a crime free unity of the nations

All you have to do is take the time out

To figure what life’s about

Why don’t you just leave me be

Let me sit under my old immortal tree

Stopa the crime

Stopa te hate

Give yourself time

To get some faith

I live my life the way I want to

And do things I love to do

And I ask this question true

Why the heck can’t you?

This is a fact

I’m born to back

And interact

To the max

Put my track

On the rack

Zes Atak!

 

This one is about peace and love and equality

Things that motivate me

And don’t tell me nobody’s pure at heart

They make you think with ways like that

But you can get out of history that made you bad

You can get away from memories that makes you sad

Sayings are sayings they can all be buried

Don’t let any saying make you worried

But listen to this advice

You gotta pay your dues and price

Hear this all things are possible

But only if you feel that you’re able

It’s all the mind games

You know it’s all the same

A person who controls more of their brain

Could give their life so many gains

Si that’s what I try to do more of

Give myself more soul, edge and love

Cause I coulda been a killer, coulda been a priest

Coulda been a miller, coulda been a disease

But as we all know those ways are no gain

If you keep up with the flow those things are no win

Yo this is the mac

daddy L.O.G I’m knack

I don’t take crack

I stack

Rhymes back to back

I’m a snack

In a musical pack

Zes Atak!

 

You inflated ego headed tutical

Know someday you’re gonna fall

Without the glory or the fame

Soon people would forget your name

So make something of yourself

There are people whoi could help

And some even want to

But if you keep making them blue

Do you think they’ll reach out their hand

To show you that they understand

The mad boys and bad boys

They’re really sad boys

But don’t give them gun toys

So they can be glad boys

Why do you love money so much?

Can it give you a tender touch?

I ain’t talking bout a ho’

I ain’t talking bout a gigolo

Think about it if you had all the money in the world

If you’re a girl, no boy, if you’re a boy, no girl

What would you do with it?

When everybody else is using something that fit

With all basic needs so free

Everybody else living in love and harmony

Ain’t no rigado rigado roughness

Ain’t no toughness

Nobody id missed

Not even Veatrice!

Yo poump the jack

Ain’t no white or black

Everything in tac

No crease or crack

No teeth has plaque

It is mirac

Qlus in dac

Zes Atak!

 

Yo power to the people

I mean all the people who never had power before

And I mean the power of love

Sing some songs of love

Sing songs of hope

Don’t make another bluff

Don’t cut another rope

Sing songs of peace

Sing songs of harmony

Tame the beast

Help calm the angry sea

Yo sing songs of freedom

And don’t act like a bum

Take some brain medication

I mean free your mind

Step away from your nation

Just for a little while

Don’t matter what you feel

Everybody needs some time alone

Whether fiction or real

Sometimes you gotta be away from home

Ain’t no cac

Tus in the ark

Or in the park

Much after dark

So don’t hit the sac

Or play the pac

Man game in drac

Or with the yak

Or your friend Jack

So you know to act

But there’s a Zes Atak!

 

A Zes Atak I think you know what it is

It’s just like bursting a bubble of goodness

Something like the Armageddon

Held under The Good One

No crap, no crime, no hate, no devil

No kind of little or big eveil

Don’t you see we need the Zes Atak

Life: It could make us best at that

We could do it in no time flat

Have a lot of soul and heart

It’s fact I’m back to interact to the max

My track on the rack, it’s the mac I’m knack

No crack, so I snack and stack back to back

In a pack and made a pact with me no lack

No jack, no white black, seal the crack in tac

It’s a mirac in dac, my teeth no plaque

And aplaque in cac, Noah built an ark

In the park it was dark so they lit the sac

Didn’t play pac, man in the drac with zack the yak

With all of that, crap, rap, zap flat , no act

It’s time to start the Zes Atak

 

So hickory dickery oh shocks

I better check my clock

And it better don’t stop

So we all have good luck!
