Humble Mumble (feat. Erykah Badu)

I stank I can, I stank I can

The funky engine that could

Yowsky, wowsky, pisky, wisky

All aboard the Stankonia Express

The underground smell road

Everybody's lookin' for an excuse to let loose

What's your locomotive

The chatta nigga choo choo?

Humble as a mumble in the jungles

Of shouts and screams

That's the way the cracker crumbles

So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams

Humble as a mumble in the jungles

Of shouts and screams

That's the way the cracker crumbles

So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams

Back on the microphone, your number one controller

I rock the microphone like a blizzard, I'm so cold I'm tryin' to hold ya

Life is like a great big roller coaster

Everything in life don't happen like it's suppose to

Trials and tribulations make you stronger, live longer

You wanna reach the nation nigga? Start from ya corner

Everything don't always happen like you planned it

Demand it, over stand it then you handle it

Fuck wishing, you missing the ambition on your mission

Now you switching, why you quitting 'cause it's heated in the kitchen?

Stop ya slipping and ya pimping nigga

You either pistol whoop the nigga or you choke the trigger

You've got to follow through, struggle to complete your dreams

No weapon formed against prospers 54: 17

From Isaiah lay a nigga down and spray 'em

If the dealer dealt a fucked up hand of cards you've gotta play 'em

Humble as a mumble in the jungles

Of shouts and screams

That's the way the cracker crumbles

So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams

Humble as a mumble in the jungles

Of shouts and screams

That's the way the cracker crumbles

So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams

Yeah, too democratic, republic fuck it

We chicken nugget, we dip in the sauce like mop and bucket

Blue-collar scholars, who'll take your dollar and wipe my ass wit it

You livin' for the lotto never hit it

I met a critic, I made her shit her drawers

She said she thought hip-hop was only guns and alcohol

I said, "Oh hell naw!" But yet it's that too

You can't discrimi-hate 'cause you done read a book or two

What if I looked at you in a microscope, saw all the dirty organisms

Living in your closet would I stop and would I pause it?

To put that bitch in slower motion, got the potion and the antidote

And a quote for collision the decision

Do you wanna live or wanna exist?

The game changes every day so obsolete is the fist and marches

Speeches only reaches those who already know about it

This is how we go about it

Humble as a mumble in the jungles

Of shouts and screams

That's the way the cracker crumbles

So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams

Humble as a mumble in the jungles

Of shouts and screams

That's the way the cracker crumbles

So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams

I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree

I'm free just like the wind the breeze that blows

And I flow just like a brook, a stream, the rain

And I fly just like a bird up in the sky

And I'll surely die just like a flower plucked

And dragged away is thrown away and then one day it turns to clay

It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way

And there it lays until the rain and sun

Then I breathe just like the wind the breeze that blows

And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding

It's beautiful, that's life and that's life

And that's life and that's life

Humble as a mumble in the jungles

Of shouts and screams

That's the way the cracker crumbles

So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams

Humble as a mumble in the jungles

Of shouts and screams

That's the way the cracker crumbles

So I guess I've got to re-route my dreams

Humble as a mumble in the jungles

Of shouts and screams

That's the way the cracker crumbles

So I guess I've gotta re-route my dreams

Y'all can't harm me, it's over
