(from the album Lonely Superstar)
© copyright 2002

Hook:
Move front to the back the drum track/
Got to pump that beat till your up on your seat now just/
Rock, everybody rock, wave your hands rock/
Left to the right it's all right just/
Move front to the back the drum track/
Got to pump that beat till your up on your seat now just/
Rock, everybody rock, wave your hands/
Shake, roll, rattle, and dance with the shadow.

Verse 1: Playdough
Bringing the best yet let it effect your tape deck/
Till your cassette feel it and sweat, reel it in wet/
Till it's ruined, you're sitting there doing unscrewing/
Till you figure out you should have gone the cd route and let it/
Spin, thanks to my pen my only friend/
I got a package that I'm stacking them in with/
LMNO work on the flow till I'm DEF/
And then your local corner store ain't got a CD left/
Cuz that's the only selling out that I'm accustomed to/
So when I bust on thru knocking the dust off you/
Stagnant, rap fragment kitchen cabinet/
Looking full cuz you stacking that bull wack suckers/
Hungry for fame just polluting the game/
Your busy shooting the same thing your just a gangrene infection/
Quick to get cut off so get your butt off cuz you done run off/
The mouth enough times with them same weak rhymes it's a/
Pity, tomorrow you're gonna be on rap city teaching/
Youth lies but we know the Truth lies only in the Word/
So we make it catchy till the whole crowd's heard everybody just

Hook:

Verse 2: LMNO
I rock with discretion my profession is flow fresh and/
Live out the blessing, memorize the meaning/
Organize a meeting, pack up the house without assigned seating/
The heart keeps beating, the cross is still bleeding/
Due to the mistakes we keep repeating/
Pointless is reading without heeding/
Cutting these corners it's only me I'm cheating/
Hit the cymbal and the repercussion/
We progress in the stagnation/
Belated greeting, drag racing over these tracks/
Put a banner up catching the eye of the tiger/
Tame the wild; this is the number you want to dial/
We're not listed, working with telepathy the phone call we missed it/
Sound effects couldn't compliment the picture/
Play this song and now your system is a light fixture, everybody

Hook:

Verse 3: Playdough
I stood alone no friend of my own no real home/
Just a million routes traveled from the spots I've roamed/
Seeking for truth but have yet to get proof they're all aloof/
While I'm seeking knowledge they be trying to raise up the roof/
And that's cool, my pc tool telling the fool/
That's too busy hollering to realize that Jah rules/
And explain, the flesh is vain and if you gain/
The whole world you're gonna come up short thus I remain/
Lonely superstar with the unpopular/
Way of thinking make you who you are and that's righteous/
Living for self ain't gonna never add up/
But it ain't heard if my chorus ain't about your hands up/
In the air, hit to the snare it's all fair and if you're off beat/
I've got permission to stare and then adjust/
I'm staying lonely dancing only/
With my shadow and its silhouette, no sweat just
