[The Grouch]  Follow me, follow me  I'm goin.. on a little, excursion  Check it out    Won't you take me away, sweet music  Take me away..  Never lead me astray, I use it  to get through the day..    Like fiends use drugs and, cars use gas  I'm one with the beat but how long will it last  I, once had a vision that, every flower dies  so now I ride the rhythm without pride    I used to have a gray Sanyo, the kind with one speaker  No antenna I used tinfoil to help me pick the weaker powered  stations of my shit was set on cable, bumpin  Pause record to press just in case I caught somethin  I always did, just a kid and that's literal  Daddy used to tell me turn that shit off   if I didn't he would get a fool  I turned it down to dub it, listened to it later  He knew how much I loved it, but rather I'd be a skater  or a baseball player     - C'mon dad, let me just hear it  I said no!  - It's only five more minutes, please please  - Slick Rick's about to come on  Go to your room!    So now I'm sixteen, tryin to fuckin mix things  No money in my pockets just desires and some big dreams  My homey got an SP, I really wanna freak it but he won't let me  Let's see, what am I to do?  I waited for school to get out then I scrounged together big bank  Put mine with Jelani's went in halves and now the beats crank  if only for a second though for it was a Mirage  And that's a pun intended in the garage we pretended and meet  I recommend it, strugglin independence  An apprentice not a pro from the get go  Music so genuine, don't even have to speak on it  Got it in my veins but, I'ma let em bleed    Won't you take me away, sweet music  Take me away..  Never lead me astray, I use it  to get through the day..    Like fiends use drugs and, cars use gas  I'm one with the beat but how long can it last  said I, once had a vision that, every flower died  so now I ride the rhythm without pride    What the hell's a Journeyman? Hipped me to the game  Katie brought em by and life would never be the same  What you say is what they said, pushed my head towards a new realm  seldom ever seen, now we clean, call them crews ? and you out  what I do through a tape and tryin to captivate live  Met up with MPX, Sidol-P, and MOS and felt the vibe  We let it ride one, season to the next  And then we took it, worldwide, came back and couldn't rest  Was so impressed when I met Eligh,   and the man to make you really see why  you shouldn't speak up in a battle, that'll bring us next to  Mister Nomemono man, do you feel diversity  The Universe MC was next to perfectly X  Acute a freak of nature, and Bizarre's on the fader  We major, our music's major    Won't you take me away, sweet music  Take me away..  and never lead me astray, I use it  to get through the day..    Like fiends use drugs and, cars use gas  I'm one with the beat but how long can it last  said I once had a vision that, every flower died  so now I ride the rhythm without pride    I said I once had a vision that, every flower died  so now I ride the rhythm without pride
