snake charmer - the gateway drug lyrics
“a snake slithered into a blacksmith shop one day. and he was very, very hungry and he looked about for something to eat. but the only thing we could find was a file, so he started to gnaw on it…”
[verse one- mc brew]
cl-ssier than a clip-on tie
but i’ll gladly be taking out you snakes just like rikki-tikki-tavi
so a cobra’s head i’m tossing
finding solutions to the problems
never fail when you entail
identifying them first, through the phlegm that’s dispersed
give more of what it takes
slithering through inhibitions of iowans just like corn snakes
through senses and aesthetics
second guess your prevalence
with ignorant epithets opine on a line
on which one may forget
i’ve got nothing, not even regret
you peeping the set, we gotta rock the spot
cunning like water moccasins
no need for lots of pens
free venom dispending got ya feeling lost again
my anti-cliché deejay has got to toss the spin
apply the buddha palm upon the song
got it rattling your cage again
erase you face, we came to play, then win
[verse two- the top civilian]
sick of shit i can’t relate to
snakes that hiss over beats and bring along their fake crews
shut up before i make you face the truth. your vocal booth
is full of statements that you can’t stand on with your own two…
feet. sick of the mainstream and the same seats
but i got the gift of speech and a deejay that don’t slang beats
so appealing with side-effects concealing cracks
with slight-of-hand cramping, i’m losing my grasp
teeth on my plaque, a speech that tends to react
to b-ss vibrations from the speakers when they blast
inhaling positive thoughts, ignore the concrete corsage
pinned to my chest. read ‘em and weep some deep thoughts by jack handy
lookin’ like an obese raggedy andy
more than willing and able to bust any mic that you hand me
been adrift like pangaea, narrowing options
jamming on a sony walkman c-ssette deck and walkin’…
[scratched- dj poyo]
“stop, he said.”
[verse three- mc brew]
like christopher, i’m walken
i concur to rip through slurs
like water hitting salt pallets, man you’re soft
and i’m stomping mambas with intentions so black, we’re fading back to onyx
to the basement where you can taste this
had the knack to even vomit
monty python can have a guest appearance on this
astonish what you saw
pens of poison drive nervous systems delirious
dreaded when these off the double-headed serpents hiss this
[verse four- the top civilian]
opposing those that let go of their control
to grow roses in the road. licking the backs of toads
and serpents for the chemical experience
the hops been hipped, minds serendipitous
get lit and fixated on the sanity
i brought my band with me, so ya’ll can stand at ease
and vanity is the one deadly sin i don’t indulge in
the rest of me’s nailed to the ground, sky a pullin’
[scratched- dj poyo]
“don’t do that.”
[verse five- mc brew]
golden moments ain’t always glowing
thought you had to know
we break it down like acetone
some b-st-rds show no love
we’ll be knowing what’s up
stay coiled, poised and ready
to strike a deadly blow from the brush
not gambling on broke chances
this wouldn’t equate up to any osha standards
use a snake skin just like a canvas
these fake men, they have no plans when they try to hold it frozen in a pose
[verse six- the top civilian]
pull the pin, throw the grenade and take cover
post a bulletin about my affair with danny glover
push comes to shove her out of oncoming traffic
how can we save the earth if we couldn’t even save captain planet
from cancellation? so i continue my scratch paper wastin’
shedding skin around corners; straighten smiles with braces
dragons you chasin’ as we puff the magic
but nothing’s static in a world of slithering snakes and plastic
“in a raspy voice he said, i’m the guy who can chew iron and steel.”
“the viper and the file”
“a snake slithered into a blacksmith shop one day. and he was very, very hungry and he looked about for something to eat. and the only thing we could find was a file, so he started to gnaw on it. the file didn’t like it though.”
“‘stop,’ he said. ‘don’t do that. don’t expect to get anything out of me, you’re just beatin’ your gums.’ in a raspy voice he said, ‘i’m the guy who can chew iron and steel.’”
