Examination Of What

Examination Of What - Digable Planets

One day while I was sipping some groove juice I realized that in the

Span of time we're just babies it's all relative time is unreal

We're just babies we're just babies man

We're just babies we're just babies man

We're just babies we're just babies man

We're just babies we're just babies man

Every man's a planet and the props are there to get it

Insects roll together with the spirit in our orbit

Life it comes goes and you do not punch a clock

I don't take sh*t for granted I think of Scott la rock

Also of tyrel and battles at the borders

My cousins in the joint and the homeless gripping quarters

The forests are all shrinking this deepens to my thinking

Don't cover up the nappy be happy witcha kinking

Dwelling yes you're Dwelling as the norm is itty bitty

Figure eighty fifty for a smidgen of the city

In the serengetti be ready for a box

But beware of the shanks and the pistols and the glocks

If your peoples don't getcha you still ain't off clean

The politicians' mask is worse than hallowe'en

I write the funky scripts so you know I got to kick 'em

Now tell me who's the vices and tell me who's the victim

So what is really what is really what

If the funk don't move your butt

And if the box don't make you hot

And if the cats don't dig the raps

If your life ain't got no spice

Or if the guns just wreck your fun

Or if some shouts ain't in the house

Or if your crew ain't down with you

Ladybug

Peace this is mecca the ladybug and I'm saying though what is really

What if I can't even get comfortable because the supreme court is

Like all in my uterus

Peace this is see know the doodlebug and I want to say what is what if

You can't walk through your hood with Bert Ernie and sesame street

Mossier trying to give the snuffleupagus

My father taught me jazz all the peoples and the anthems

Ate peanuts with the dizz and vibed with Lionel Hampton

Now I'm swimming deep in the hip hop with eclectics

Now do we gots the power or is it getting hectic

Scribble swings the paddle at the mantel where I placed it

Hip hop grew from roots but some emcees never traced it

The old jacks buck wild and some babies bore their fists

But the crew from outer space is here sh*t

We grew up digging styles of the fabulous fifth Freddy

And scoping out for days crazy legs and rocksteady

Now bleach is in the laundry same old beats is handy

The label may okay it but radio won't play it

The censors are about so watch your mouth close your drapes

The legs that's in the boots is on the corner watch your tape

Making papes off the crust for money and for lust

You're playing out the planets get slammed trust

You think it see it run it and slam it

They peep it hear it lynch it and ban it

It just ain't the haps if they know they can't control it

Your grass be in the joint but they licked it and rolled it

So what I'm saying what

What is really what is really what is really what

If the funk don't rule your cut

Or if the streets don't dig your beats

Or if my man ain't fifty grand

Or if the hoods don't think you're good

Or if your church don't really work

Or if the pigs want to knock your wigs

Or if the jeeps don't roll with beats

Cause butterfly is baby I'm just a baby man

I'm just a baby I'm just a baby man

I'm just a baby I'm just a baby man

And mister doodle I'm just a baby too

And miss mecca I'm just a baby man

And mister silk he's just a baby too
