Potholderz

I strive to be humble, lest I stumble

Never sold a jumbo or copped chicken with its mumbo

Sauce, Tyson is a fowl holocaust

Hitler gassed your whole head up with poultry, I'm fed up

Ignore cordon bleu, stand up, get up

Lunge for your knife, don't forget your potholders

What, these old things? About to throw 'em away

With the gold rings that make 'em don't fit like OJ

Usually I take them off with Oil of Olay

MCs is crabs in a barrel, pass the Old Bay

Hot as hell and it's a cold day, innit?

Working on a way that we can roll away tinted

Some say the price of holding heat is often too high

You either be in a coffin or you be the new guy

The one that's too fly to eat shoo pie

Never too busy when it comes down to you and I

(Swear to God) a lot of niggas wish to die

They need to hold they horses, there's bigger fish to fry

You're on the list, if not, pick a number spot

Ten and a half Timbs is made to kick your bumba claat

I coulda had a V-8

F-150 quad cab but I'll be straight

Money comes and goes like that two bit hussy

That night that tried to rush me, Dwight, pass the dutchie

So I can calm down so they don't get it twisted

Take it from the fire side, it won't get blistered

Got it, what happened? Oh, it's not lit

These metal fingers be holding

When I was four, I penned: God Was Born In New York

Back in '77, still got nan in the crescent

The effervescence of God's presence is thick

Unlike vapor, Esther Rolle, extra raw, word to the baker

Peace to the hardworkin' gingerbread makers

Looked her up and down, said: Hmm, too much makeup

Poor music taste, ten years from being grown up

Rappers don't blow up, heads do (aww, shit)

My name is Dwight Spitz, I'm a Sonic addict

I use to think it was merely a nagging habit

Born under a bad sign, I'm serious about this curse of mine

I strive to flip it into fine wine

Barely born a virgin, is what the stars said

Black not white, red all over, though, like Elmo

Twenty-eight years have passed, I feel I'm peaking

I make music every weekend

It's a chore, a fact of life, a labor of love

I get mad love, but I detest the labor

And its wages, you know, death?

I'm servin' life from this gift of God

Don't forget your potholders, my niggas
