MC Mariko   Too many times I've lied to myself   Too many times I've been alone with sadness in my mind   Too many times I've had lack of fait   Too many times at home frustrated and no rhyme      Tidjân   Yo, too many sleepless nights nightmares   Of the too many emcees without mics   Mics don't work without lyrics   Lyrics don't come from my pen   Desk full of empty papers, pens broken   Poetry to the beat of the music   It sounds so easy and I try and I try   But the trick don't work   I must get sleep now   Somehow, but I can't, so I wonder      [Chorus]   How did the blow the horn like that (like that)   How did the slip the finger like that (like that)   How did the write the lyrics like that (like that)   How did he come up with that song   I wonder      How did the blow the horn like that (like that)   How did the slip the finger like that (like that)   How did the write the lyrics like that (like that)   How did he come up with that song   I wonder      MC Mariko   Too many times I've given up   Too many times the cry of pain echoes in my room   Too many times   Too many nights   Doing nothin', just waitin' if the flower would bloom      Tidjân   Yo, I'm totally empty   Insomnia everynight   My head is like after lobotomy   I can't write   I want my booklet out of my sight   Fireplace is the right place to place my booklet   Where's my light   Relax no panic   I need to moderate   Artificial respiration to prevent headache   I must get spleep now   Somehow, but I can't, so I wonder      [Chorus]   How did the blow the horn like that (like that)   How did the slip the finger like that (like that)   How did the write the lyrics like that (like that)   How did he come up with that song   I wonder      How did the blow the horn like that (like that)   How did the slip the finger like that (like that)   How did the write the lyrics like that (like that)   How did he come up with that song   I wonder      [Instrumetial]      How did the blow the horn like that (like that)   How did the slip the finger like that (like that)   How did the write the lyrics like that (like that)   How did he come up with that song   I wonder      How did the blow the horn like that (like that)   How did the slip the finger like that (like that)   How did the write the lyrics like that (like that)   How did he come up with that song   I wonder      Sounds like I wonder   Sounds like I wonder   Sounds like I wonder   Sounds like I wonder
