Paragraph President Lyrics - Blackalicious

Paragraph paralyzer, rhythmic aristocrat 

Mister Rap, it's the gift of gab about to twist your caps 

Swift the fist so fast, fury worry, hit the switch ya ass 

It's an' bits an' fragments, so midget, quit this diss ya ass 

Sit ya ass down, while I rip the tracks an' spit the facts 

Hit the grass, green, brown or purple, I'm the diplomat 

Rip your raps, really, you don't get the math 

Just to have grief, only rhymer, I was meant to rap into that 

Fire breathin', rhyme heathen, kidnap your mental black 

Hijack your fly dap or con head your intellect 

Mind state, arrow blast, center crack, mind gaps 

Blind from their eyes back, send ya back cryin' act up 

Pencil pad, my utensil, grab thine attention 

Get hit so bad with Jiu Jitsu stabs, I abid you 

An' if you rap, I'ma send you back rappin' in a tavern 

If you mad, kid, it's just too bad 

Tell 'em it's the Paragraph President 

An' it's official, you can hear the cheer coming up 

Paragraph President 

I want to thank you all for attending my inaugural ball 

Paragraph President 

As a special treat this evening 

I have asked America's foremost young poet 

To read his latest poem for us 

Hit you with the funk, it's like, "Who cut the provolone?" 

Government officials put taps on my mobile phones 

Nations overthrown, hold my own on my zone 

Prone to leave your dome blown, poem after poem, homes 

Jones for the tones, roam with me, turn your motor on 

Overall this war just just got it goin' on 

Overgrown child, never growin' old, so when knows pokin' notes 

'Til the never nose ho' overdose 

On my flows those flows goes deep 

Hold your nose, bros knows foes, yo, don't sleep, slow your role 

Show my soul, total hold, domination, don't ya know? 

Under comet like Muhammad with the verbal robodome 

It's the Paragraph President 

He's been sweeping the nation with a hard hitting campaign 

Paragraph President 

As a politician, he regards himself as a national harmonizer 

Paragraph President 

And so Mister President we urge you to do something 

About the deplorable state of our nation 

I pledge allegiance to the pen an' the pad 

An' the mic an' [Incomprehensible] of America 

An' to the Republic, kiss my ass 

An' thugs fakin', actin' hard to get this killer beef given to me 

I busted for all 

Leave your city burnin' like Gomorrah 

Stamina, blaze up your space, plus I got it on camera 

An' I'm a animal animator, landin' a 

Blow, cleanin' clocks, nothin' left for the janitor 

Punchin' through your granite, a goodwill ambassador 

From another planet, I could kill an' smash ya up 

An' it won't stop an' I can't stop, 'Predator' 

Can erupt an' it does, had enough, amateur? 

A rammin', ya feel the goat's horns slammin' ya? 

Ham it up, every single time that I stand in a 

Crowd of emcees, backin' up, when I'm actin' up 

On a frenzy, after ya yellin', "That's enough" 

An' it tempts me, that it does an' I'm glad it does 

When I flip, see, spatula style's stackin' up 

Many big threes rappers are, never catchin' up 

Passin' up, ride passenger, is it black enough? 

Spectacular, now you know who's attackin' ya 

Crackin' up, mashin' ya top mind capturer 

I'm the Paragraph President
