{Dialogue from 1963 "Ray Bradbury: Story of a Writer" documentary}

Now I dunno what you think bout to happen, but uhh, Ima get to rappin,
so lets see the toes get to tappin, bet if you a foe then you nappin,
got em on the ropes & you slackin, hold em by the throat fore you slap em,
paid dues, I'm the dude thats yellin "action", they pay you in a fraction,
I think quick slick as oil that theyre fracking, recite line after line like I'm acting,
hold up bring then, bet I earn respect like a captain,
if you got the juice pop a cap then, lookin for the dude I'm the cat then,
Katmandu man whats happenin, callin up the bookie for some action,
accident, mostly cause I lost 5 stacks again,
prolly turn to cigarettes, packs of them,
Nicoderm cq patch to the maximum,
stressin obsessin on pressin questions, no one askin em

{Ray Bradbury droppin some more knoweldge}


In an old school whip, bet I swang through now,
word to Fred Flinstone, yabba dabba doo now,
who now, he now? I'm where I wanna be now,
I was once blind but oh shit, I can see now,
leavin out the lair, feel so debonair,
I go everywhere breathin smoke into the air,
you scared that they care? au contraire,
french inhale, bon voyage, pass the blunt over there
Make plans say probably, hear you say possibly,
talk philosophy while gettin high as an apostrophe,
live music capitol, makin music no capital,
hit the grass, go to class, hit the lab after school
groovy radical, take burnable sabbatical, 
you throw ideas around my mind tight as a catapult now
live theatricals, I spit it ungramattical,
through odds that seem impractical I make 'em act fanatical

((Old sht from the vault... had to let it go))

are ya feelin it?... 


A young bon vivant, roll a blunt like a elephant trunk,
lemme tell ya' ll what the hell I been on,
Seen senior and ain't developed, C senior ain't overzealous,
and really there aint nothin you can tell us, we're feelin like Elvis,
hella bowls got me bent like elbows,
he got a hold of my soul talkin Diablo,
comfortable with OG master, might just pass it to the pastor,
heavy hits I savor help me see the savior faster,
dutch or master, paper passer, currency exchanges,
no rehearsal or reversal this a universal language,
where they comin down and swangin in laneses,
folks is seein spokes they thinkin its dangerous,
we stay away from where chains is,
and stay lookin for changes,
lemme hear you sang this in the name of the nameless, this is art entertainment,
from the heart you could frame it,
lets forget all of the lames and the brainless,
positivity remaining right where this refrain is...


(Jah feelin it???)


Feelin It (Snippet)

Livin' 
(Beat by L.S.P.)

You see me ridin, white whip I sit in,
Americano, white whip I'm sippin,
never holding horses, I'm steady whippin,
don't play no bullshit, no Scotty Pippen,
I keep it movin, live life nomadic,
I'm making magic, rabbit out the hat shit,
I knew that I'm that guano, thats that bat shit,
or many movies by Keanu, thats also that shit,
I gotta have it, I'm not an addict,
then again maybe I am well I'll try to be more bad at it,
but I got a knack for, movin people back forth,
gettin em low like trap doors, lemme hear you clap more,
for sure, you up the creek got no oars,
don't know bout things round town? well I'm operating nice tours,
and you could get one, thats is if you need it,
know heavy bodies like Cletus, they the meanest and I mean this,
as for me I'm the neatest and the cleanest, catch me at the dentist gettin diamonds where my teeth is,
my grandma hate it but my lil mamma love it, 
actually she hate it too but still man I'm like fuhgggit
______________________________
We out here, really livin, 
makin moves, big business,
been about it, been without it,
cause ya never know how its gonna go,
I plot the master plan, write it with the hand,
whole crew with the brews, feet up in the sand,
hold no belief in a fruit that is forbidden,
out here tryina get it, livin how we're livin
_______________________________

I see the scene, I lay the scheme,
you so slow codine and promenthazine,
I mean its like remember that book Yurtle the Turtle?
I'm playin with these wordles, get it jumpin like the hurdles,
blowin like a breeze I keep it tighter than a gurdle,
all about the steez, I need the cheese before it curdle,
I'm makin cuts so you know the ankles taped up, 
I mean I'm gettin spatted cause I gotta have it,
Yo, we pregame like it ain't no thang,
pop bottles like the team won a championship ring,
roll blunts like I sing or my name lil wayne,
but matter fact ya know ya favorite cracker always been a rapper,
cause I'm higher man, fire-fa-fireman,
givin heart attacks, in fact take the Niacin,
more a soothsayer and less a player,
prophet for the profit gotta fill the pockets... later

Just got my A.C. fixed, I'm ridin cool now,
and I'm bout to graduate, I dont go to school now,
still no such thing as too much green for me,
Im tryina blow a L, M, N, O & P,
steady flowin, 512 & 214'in,
my tribe is on a quest and so the theories comin low end,
fasho man, ya know man, 
the method to the madness, is operate sporadic till the feet up livin lavish,
a modern curator to and archaic hater,
with every reference teach a lesson people learn later,
speakin the best vision and livin the best livin,
theres nothing forbidden, get with it, I done hand picked it,
take it and ran with it, cop it and moon walking,
young and I got options, not just a dude talkin,
not just a dude tokin, a unique view spoken,
leapin off the lilly pad, hopin to avoid the croakin...
