(chorus)I'm just a curbside prophetWith my hand in my pocketAnd I'm waiting for my rocket to comeI'm just a curbside prophetWith my hand in my pocketAnd I'm waiting for my rocket y'allYou see it started way back in nycWhen I stole my first rhyme from the m-I-cAt a west end avenue at 63It's a beginning of a leap year february '96Play the guitar picked it up in the mixI committed to the licksLike a nickel bag 'o tricksOh, wellLook at me nowLook at me nowLook at me now now now nowI'm just a curbside prophetWith my hand in my pocketAnd I'm waiting for my rocket to comeI'm just a curbside prophetWith my hand in my pocketAnd I'm waiting for my rocket y'allWell then you never da never da guessWhat I been been beenAnd I have no regretsthat I bet My whole checking accountBecause it all amounts to nothing up in the endWell you can only count that 'On the road again'Will soon be on my radio dialAnd I'll be paying close attention to the willie nelson styleLike a a band of gypsies on the highway wildAs I'm a one-man mission on the califoria skylineDrive up the coast, I brag and I boastBecause I'm picking up a paceThat make you tire like 'space ghost'Raising a toast to the highway patrol with the mostBut my cruise control's on coastCause I'm tourin' around the nation on extended VacationSee I got elsa the dog who exceeds my limitationI say, 'I like your style, crazy pound pup!You need a ride? well come on girl, hop in the truck!'With the curbside prophetWith my hand in my pocketAnd I'm waiting for my rocket to comeI'm just a curbside prophetWith my hand in my pocketAnd I'm waiting for my rocket y'allI'm just a curbside prophetWith my hand in my pocketAnd I'm waiting for my rocket to comeI'm just a curbside prophetWith my hand in my pocketAnd I'm waiting for my rocket y'allSee I'm a down-home brother red-neck undercoverWith my guitar here I'm ready to playAnd I'm a sucker for a philly got a natural abilityGeared to free-style look at my flexibilityDangerous on the micMy ghetto hat's cocked rightAll the ladies say'yo that kid is crazy!'We got the backstage bettysTakin' more than they can getThey say, 'what's up with m-r-a-z?'Hey hey hey heySomething's different in the world todayWell they changed my traffic signsTo a brighter yellowHey heySomething's different in the world todayWell they changed my traffic signsTo a brighter yellowI'm just a curbside prophet, loveA curbside prophet, loveA curbside prophet, loveA curbside, oh come onI'm just a curbside prophetWaiting for my rocket,I said I'm waiting for my rocket to come downCurbsideCome down, brotherTo the curbside, hey...
