Appl Juic
I’ll try hard to fulfill your notion of what a poet is
Deriding ideas as bunk and words as erroneous
I’m not a Monk so don’t call me Thelonious
But perhaps the last and loneliest American socialist
I’d like to spend my time thinking about who should be picked
for the cricket team
There’s so much in the world I find sickening
The last time I checked the wealth wasn’t trickling
There’s also my own health
Addicted to the nicotine
Sometimes I won’t eat salad for days
I’m tortured by all my less palatable traits
Trying everything to overcome the barricades
Like Desperate Housewives with marital aids
New and improved like the potions we use on the lues
Broken and bruised
Bluesy boozed virginal listless
I don’t want your complete immersion in my business
What’s the point of a conversion if there isn’t a witness

Rabbi D
We working and reversing the sickness
Shizness
Appl Juic
What is this?

Rabbi D
No slack all crisp like a permanent crease
Alert to the lurking creeps like the murmur of thieves
German Shepard on the prowl so it’s curtains for sheeps
BK to UK with a certain mystique
In the country of Kings we work and we teach
United Kingdom counterparts are doing their piece
Hyde Park to Parliament Prospect to Orchard Beach
East London to East New York down on Herkimer Street
Learn and lead so the hurt will decrease
If G-d can’t save Darfur how he’s gonna save the Queen?
Runaway dreams we’re speeding on all fours
With a connection overseas that ain’t been seen since the Concord

State your name
What’s your stake in the game
Whatchu you bringing to table
Whatchu you taking away?
State your name
This is a stake in the game
Brining light to vampires that’s as plain as the day

Rabbi D
Encore before we’re even half through
On every corner in the city like pay phones and snack food
Snap to it like jazz aficionados
Draining like long trips in autos when you piss in bottles
Resist Serato Old School attitude
Y’all need battle proof?
Well I rap and produce
These two cats in the booth are rabid and smooth
With philosophy and aptitude like Albert Camus
Avenue grooves with a cabin and crew
It’s Rab and Appl Juic get hooked like snaggle tooth
Ravenous dudes with cavernous moves
That Eco like Umberto canyon camping confused?
Separatists step with us and get to the groove
And if you can’t handle this shit then you should get to the lue
Catching the blues from the network of news
We’re putting in the legwork to get to the moon
Rebels with clues causes morals flaws
More or less average dudes with war on their jaws
Swore what you saw happened but don’t curse
Juic was like
Appl Juic
That’s Heavy D
Rabbi D
And I was like of course

Appl Juic
So we’re striking with the force of twelve Chernobyls
And won’t stop till the whole world smells of Belgian waffles
You’re smiling nervously like Mets fans till David (Carlos) Beltran bottles
As if an empire founded on bullshit seldom topples
And steroids can make it super-sized
Like the bulging biceps of Hulk Hogan
But soon you’re rheumatized
Moody times spent cold and in the doldrums
With fewer rides
More thoughts of suicide in a kitchen full of rolling pins and solvents
Call for The Dude and The Dude abides
With an army of Polynesian witches with dolphins in their cauldrons
Curing the world of Wolfowitzs and John Boltons
And all the fucking PR consultants
Justifying the actions of the crazy and lawless
Cause we know now there’s no Habeas Corpus
This race is like the hare and the tortoise
You drift into complacency then we’re severing your fortress
With a mouth full of celery and sawdust
Stumbling down avenues mumbling platitudes
About how you never achieve anything in August
Pursued by carloads of paparazzi
We’re seducing your daughters
Dissing your sister like Marco Matarazzi
I’m on a mission from Britain to confirm with a Rabbi
That the cargo is satisfactory

Rabbi D
That’s that good shit
Appl Juic
Sweet now you can pass it back to me

State your name
What’s your stake in the game
Whatchu you bringing to table
Whatchu you taking away?
State your name
This is a stake in the game
Brining light to vampires that’s as plain as the day

Rabbi D
I’m out like I just won the Emmy or I drank a ton of Henny
Bond after he leveled enemies and got the Money Penny
