Boudin Man

Checked Alameda by the Crab Cove block
Drove by MacArthur but I'm still outta luck
Past the Colliseum try to get a hookup
They don't sell it on dese damn food trucks
Hunted Treasure Island, but my search was a loss
All the way to Fremont by Hammer's old house
Up High street by the railroad track
He is gone, never get him back
Où est le boudin man?
Où est le boudin man?
Mon bébé veut un plat épicé
Où est le boudin man?
Far east bay, thru the Caldecott
Got pulled over by Orinda cops
Martinez by the copper pot
Pittsburg cruising by the sailboat dock
Highway 4, then my car got stuck
Whole damn place is a parking lot
Took the way through Antioch
Wound up back where I started from
Où est le boudin man?
Où est le boudin man?
Mon bébé veut un plat épicé
Où est le boudin man?
Nam Niduob el Tse Uo !

What's this song is called?
It's Avery... You know it !
When you came into our lives
You made the world complete
Your eyes as bright as stars
It's Avery... You know it!
When you came into our world
You made our lives complete
Gremlin on the rampage in paradise
Don't you worry, we love you anyway
What's this song is called?
It's Avery... You know it !
When you came into our lives
You made a world complete

"Circumstances leading to admission? "
Life, of course.
"Prior psychiatric history? "
Depends on who you ask.
"Prior medical history? "
Oppression.
"Voices?" …Yea
"Visions?" …Yea
"Can you explain?"
Yo.
First time that I did the crime
Only to pay the lights and the rent
Old man already skipped the town
Didn't leave the family with a cent
Momma working to the core,
An endless detour
The shadow of the broken poor
Boxed in so tight, my might, my plight
Could not get a title fight
Every time that they see me, profile me
or judge me
They think that it makes me weak
Now they brought me to you
So what you gonna do?
I'm just another freak
This cell or another cell, hit the panic bell
We're all in prison anyway
Write it down in the chart
My art: to survive and to thrive to live another day
"Circumstances leading to admission? "
Life, of course.
"Prior psychiatric history? "
Depends on who you ask.
"Prior medical history? "
Oppression!
"Voices? Visions? Call security!"
"Security!"

Queen's Gambit

Born.... In my tube
Corn... In my food
Torn... In my bed
Horn... In my head
I asked her out, all in a daze.
She'll get back to me in 3 to 5 business days
("Security!")
Chasing treasure chests, get no rest
Empty promises empty drinks
Take your time and do your best
But there's no time to think
Queens gambit, melted diadem
You got your eyes covered
You got your eyes covered
Queens gambit, melted diadem
You got your ears covered
You got your ears covered
Queens gambit, melted diadem
You got your mouth covered
You got your mouth covered
Queens gambit, melted diadem
What can you do?
I'm goin' catch the parade
On the neutral ground withh a ladder
Drumline's real fine this time
My wine can help me find my mind
But our stake is known
And it's far beyond the things that
we've outgrown
The cover's blown, the curtain's drawn
We'll sing the song and we'll carry on

Capacity
04:27
|

|
Bay doors frame the misty street
Broken desk, the lonely greet
Dismiss straps and take the seat
Place your mark upon the sheets
Capacity, capacity
Never held, always felt
Abruptly serve them well
Capacity, capacity
Ever swell the hotel
Falling under the spell
Respite from the winter heat
Feigning hurt, a legal cheat
Luxuries that can't be beat
Suckle from the parish teat

Discharge

Pro bono.
I need Gojo.
Wipe my mind and hands from this dojo
It's a no go from the po-po
Oh the things I have seen, what I now know
Are you angry?
Are you lonely?
Are you scared the body cam will confirm me?
Hear my rhyme, for this time
All the cryin' in the world won't erase
The spoken truth is mine
Within
My win
Keeping it together so my head don't spin
From pinned
To grinned
Put your hands together and feel my sin
Missed charge
Discharge
Back to the street where it all began
My God
My scar
Back to the street for my master plan
Theme
…. Back to the street where it all began
…. Back to the street where it all began
…. Back to the street where it all began
…. Back to the street for my master plan

Boudin Man (reprise)
05:36

I did the crime
I'm gonna drop a line on me
Not right or wrong
The weak, the strong are long relieved
Mountains grow to heavens now
As big, the smallest of atoms now
The past and present and future now
The son becomes the father now
All wit and wonder of patterns now
Roll with the cosmos, infinite now
I dance with angels and demons now
Wish all my friends could see me now
I did the crime
I'm gonna drop a line on me
Not right or wrong
The weak, the strong are long relieved
Expanding out from within now
Fall back to the beginning now
Joy and sorrow and fear now
Gaze through mystic curtains now
Reveal all I've lost now
From the moment of birthing until now
I searched all the locations now
I'm in superposition now
…And all the along, the Boudin Man was …
"Back to the street, back to the street, where it all began"
Nam Niduob.

"Yo, Scottie B. Kick the jams!"
Alright. Okay! Here we go!
Uh. Here we go.
Yo, B-Wood
I ain't hidin' it
I was here before the 4, they were widenin' it
You mess with me
You gonna tryin' it
You mess with me
Hey! You're gonna die in it
When I say "B," you say "Wood"
B-Wood.
B-Wood.
When I say "B," you say "Wood"
B-Wood.
B-Wood.
Minnesota, Sand Creek, and Dainty
And some parts of Lone Tree
Walnut, Griffith, and Fairview
Non-perpendicular avenues
Affordable housing, lots of parks
Established with land from John Marsh
He was killed by vaqueros (rest in peace)
Let me hear my girlies!
Let me hear my boyz!
Make some noise!
Make some noise!
Noise! Noise! Noise!
Seriously, it's pretty quiet in here
I'm living a lie
Long commute times
Suburbs baby! Oh!
Okay!
Yeah!
Yeah, who was that?
Here we go, here we go
B-Wood !
Okay.
