KUNG FOOL<\/strong>
\n<\/span>\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022<\/p>\n

So you think you’re the Master?
\nMeet the Master of Disaster:
\nBring your whole crew!
\nI’ll just steal all your shoes.<\/p>\n

I’ll shoot the boot with cold Krug.
\nWised up? Tooled up?
\nTribed up? Bribed up?
\nCongratulations. You wanna medal too?
\nBring the Joker & I’ll see you with a Fool.<\/p>\n

Flying daggers. Kung Foolish matters.
\nMaddest of the hatters. The Heinz, it splatters.
\nI raise hell like Kane. I belong to no name.
\nWhile you convert, all I do is subvert.
\nI win every time ‘cos I don’t spend a dime.<\/p>\n

Don’t give a fuck about bread and I don’t count heads.
\nThink you’re sleek? Meet my pet.
\nHe’s scaly as fuck, and his name’s Cryptique.
\nHe’s half rat crossed with snake and, boy, he likes to eat meat.<\/p>\n

Follow my moves, you’ll learn a thing or two.
\nYou won’t learn three cos I don’t rock the trinity.<\/p>\n

Every third step I make, I make to fake.
\nMy views are pure illusions, my cares just grand delusions.
\nI’m here to fuck with you – and your whole crew too.
\nGroup think ain’t my thing.<\/p>\n

I belong to no one; I believe in nothing.
\nI’m the void to your ‘droid.
\nMy favourite word is ‘destroyed’.
\nApple? Google?
\nI prefer Bimbo and noodles.<\/p>\n

I already notched your plays, yesterday.
\nYou can’t step to me, you can’t get to me.
\nI’m nothing but a trickster. I exist to magimix ya.
\nTake your algo’s and blow.
\nShove ’em where the wind don’t go.<\/p>\n

So you think that you’re a hacker?
\nYou reckon you’re a tracker?
\nSay hullo to the
\nGrand Felonious Hijacker.
\nPirate from the seas,
\nI eat up land like fried cheese.<\/p>\n

I already left this planet.
\nOnly returned to throw a spanner in it.
\nI chill with snakes and street skeez’s.
\nI suck up ozone like Febreze.<\/p>\n

I sleep in ironed sheets,
\nKeep my mind firmer than concrete.
\nI guess I’m some sorta wizard?
\nA devil, yes. And a monitor lizard.<\/p>\n

All I do is react, that’s how I counteract.
\nI preplay your grooves.
\nI break vinyl in two
\nWhen I’m a nasty mood.<\/p>\n

Hold your Aces, keep the whole pack.
\nI fold green tables just to kick back.
\nNo, I don’t always play.
\nI live to remove obstacles in my way.<\/p>\n

My homeboy is Godzilla.
\nMy mentality’s guerilla.
\nI’m free like a condor.
\nOnce I start, I want it all.<\/p>\n

There’s no logic to my game,
\nI just like to go insane.
\nI choose madness over method,
\nFrom time to time.<\/p>\n

I like to get hunch backed,
\nNever had to throw a punch back.
\nAll I care about is winning.
\nMy day job’s all about sinning.
\nVictory?
\nIt’s priced into my rhymes.<\/p>\n
