B Gb,Cwhen i stole my first rhyme from the m.i.c.
B Fat a west end avenue at 63
C Gb,Cthe beginning of a leap year, february,
B F'96 when a guitar picked up in the mix
C Gb,Ci committed to the licks like a nickel back of tricks
Bwell look at me now
Flook at me now
C Gb,Clook at me now, now, now, now

Bi'm just a curbside prophet
Fwith my hand in my pocket

C Gb,Cbecause i'm pickin up my pace and makin time like space ghost
B F Craising a toast to the highway patrol with the most
Gb,Cbut my cruise control's on coast
B Fcause i'm tourin around the nation on extended vacation

B Fi say, i like your style, crazy pound pup
Cyou need a ride? 'woof'
Gb,Cwell come on, girl, hop in the truck

VERSE 3: (DO B-F-C-Gb,C)
see i'm a down home brother, redneck undercover
with my guitar here i'm ready to play
and i'm a sucker for philly
got a natural ability to give the freestyle
look at my flexibility
dangerous on the mic
my ghetto hat's cocked right
all the ladies say, "yo, that kid is crazy"
we got the backstage betties taking more than they can get
they say, "what's up with m-r-a-z?"
 
BRIDGE: (SAME AS VERSE)
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
something's different in my world today
well they changed my traffic sign to a brighter yellow
hey, hey, something's different in my world today
well they changed my traffic sign to a brighter yellow
i'm just a curbside prophet love
a curbside brother love
a curbside brother love
a curbside oh come on
i'm just a curbside prophet and i'm waiting for my rocket
i'm waiting for my rocket to come
 
Rock On!
