PROPS

Now this I been lookin forward to
Collectin props that's a bit overdue

I came to collect props like a property tax
from all you hate-to-laugh novelty acts

Your SUV's never been off terrain
Your hikin boots only hike on the train
Your runnin shoes I've never seen runnin
You hate fags but collect shoes like a woman

Leave your garbage outside
Today's props collection
That means all your rap's-not-hip-hop preconceptions

All that shit you memorized is irrelevant
There's a hundred and ten plus four more elements

While you try to sound all hip-hoppy
I inspire the leaders you copy

You're boring
and much too braggadocious
Assemble a joint out of a whole bag of roaches

The articulate answer to my grammar is, "DAMN"
So check yourself -- testicular cancer exam

I'll irk you if I work blue or work squeaky clean
I'm Good Will Humping PG-13 (underrated)

and I'll never stop. Inner starlight is endless
So next time you leave me off your top ten list
remember only the bravest DJ will request my drops
I came to collect my props

PROPS

I came to collect as my dustpan collects dust
I came to collect like a rich kid on a trust

I came to collect like that poor kid on Welfare
Came to collect like a politician off healthcare

Came to collect like I put a bucket under a leak
Came to collect like crowds collect when I speak

Calling collect direct rather than roundabout
Before I spell it out for you, sound it out

I haven't even barely started
You, like this track, are mentally guitarded

I'm more slept on than beds
and I'm collectin props now I'm sure to get when I'm dead

I'll son your moms and correct your pops
I came to collect my props

PROPS

Came to collect propers like doctors collected
Big Bopper's body parts from a chopper
