Manteca

Lyrics for Manteca

Big ice in the highball, bush league brush backs Pocket full of Pine Sol, lemon peel on the Sazerac The roach is never dead, big lips the blackest of black Came through the spot zoning like it's a suicide attack Couldn't faze him Handlers remotely watching the operation On Doomsday, sour flowers, my ex-girl caught the bouqet Puday, DEA will bust through the wall on some Kool-Aid Grown man strength celibate but her panties leopard print I can't call it, "Amadou Diallo", why I don't carry a wallet Knot in my sock, pot in the lungs, black on the skin Cops on the block, hands on they guns, piss in the wind Hot like the border, prospects, dim, but I'll never go back to Georgia Tragedy tomorrow comedy tonight Forum parking lot booking a flight, baggage claim Heavy lifting prescription hit like lead pipe Incredible hulk in glass jar, personality cult smash y'alls The kid's got promise, a young Clarence Thomas Whites was astonished he spit that expertly polished Tricknowledge, book learned, good college Westernized trees, Africanized bees Spark spartan green Mateen Cleaves, pleas copped Police got the whole hood on their knees Traffic stop, first thing they said was you sent 'em to me Oldest crook in the book, a king and a rook Classic like Stalin's organs, black hand extortion Brass band plays as the hounds take they portion Ran him to ground, knocked once and took the door in
