Kung Fu

Once about a time there was a kid

Who didn't have a bicycle or a car that skid

Only thing he had was pat and turner

He didn't know the future but the lesson to learn-ah

Way to get started in the music biz

Just listen to the story as

I tell it like it is

I was a youngster from east junior high school

Who thought somebody with adidas sweat-shirt was cool

It symbolized somethin, but

I don't know

I wanted to be down really really bad so

I asked one of my best friends derek mangareu"c'mon man can

I be down can

I be down witcha crew? "

He had one by the name of masters of control

I wanted to be down, so

I could play the role

He said, "no you're not good enough we have ours mark"

I went home and sat in the room with no lights in the dark

And this is gonna be a rough rendezvous

And that's why

I sing this song to you

I'm a lonely soldier.. yeah..

Many miles from home..

With a heart that's heavy..

And with.. a will that's strong

I got a little older, three years to be exact

When a crew named midnight express gave me a crack

It consist of one mc and two dj's

And the way kevin d cut had me amazed

It was like

I just joined the lakers

Or even rock steady or the new york city breakers

I was in 11th grade, at ? ? high

They was sayin they was sayin hey what's wrong with this guy

Because all he do, is bang on tables and mumble

And doin music with his mouth like a band ensemble

Or the human beatbox wasn't thought about

And the teachers they thought

I was crazy without a doubt

I guess they didn't understand what

I was comin from

Since I was into mc'n, they thought

I was dumb

Then there was a teacher by the name of ms. k parke

Since I was good at rememberin numbers she said

I was smart

But that don't got nothin to do with this rendezvous

And that's why

I sing this song to you!

I'm a lonely soldier.. yeah..

Many miles from home..

With a heart that's heavy..

And with.. a will that's strong

I was a walkin son of a gun before the day

I begunI'ma tell you how it started, from day one

Well me, I lived in >? ? <, they lived in c.i.

I was ambitious and devoted til the day

I'd dieI used to get on fair islip, take the s-42

Get off at bunanan street, and go to the house of the crew

I would walk from c.i., to bay shore

Just to see if

I really had the rhymes galore

I'd go to house parties here, go to house parties there

Walk the ? ? ? ? pants off my derriere

Like if I was david carridine who played "kung fu"

Who would walk from china to japan without a shoe

Hummin beats, sayin rhymes, kept me goin

From givin up or bein crazy, or just stop flowin

My teachers and parents said,

I should just stop

Just go to army go to college get a job witcha pops? !

I can't take no more of this rendezvous

And that's why

I sing this song to you!

I'm a lonely soldier.. yeah..

Many miles from home..

With a heart that's heavy..

And with.. a will that's strong

I'm a lonely soldier..

Many miles from home..

With a heart that's heavy..

And with.. a will that's strong
