Judo Flip

I am the stone that the builder refused

I am the visual, the inspiration

That made lady sing the blues

I'm 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 ya box, The bullet in the 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 streak that's in your drawers

The sting of a hunger pain

The one to call out your 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, doctoral 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

A judo flip, they say chop chop chop

A judo flip

But once you hear the capital A, rap it'll stay

With you for a while, and it won't go away

Judo flip, chop chop chop

A judo flip, they say chop chop chop

A judo flip

But once you hear the capital A, rap it'll stay

With you for a while, and it won't go away

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 now we all good

No more, corner to corner liquor store and check cashing

Now it's wall to wall shopping mall to spend cash in

Lush greenery, beautiful scenery

A quiet environment, no sirens or machinery

And seems to be, so peaceful and non-threatening

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

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

Judo flip, chop chop chop

A judo flip, they say chop chop chop

A judo flip

But once you hear the capital A, rap it'll stay

With you for a while, and it won't go away

Judo flip, chop chop chop

A judo flip, they say chop chop chop

A judo flip

But once you hear the capital A, rap it'll stay

With you for a while, and it won't go away

With you for a while

With you for a while, and it won't go away

Judo flip, chop chop chop

A judo flip, they say chop chop chop

A judo flip

But once you hear the capital A, rap it'll stay

With you for a while, and it won't go away

Judo flip, chop chop chop

A judo flip, they say chop chop chop

A judo flip

But once you hear the capital A, rap it'll stay

With you for a while, and it won't go away

With you for a while

With you for a while, and it won't go away
