I went from nothing into something like the Planet Earth
I showed these major labels how to make a man from dirt
And breathe in his nostrils, fill him up with Gospel
Leave him at the mountain top blasting at the Rothschilds

Who dat? Jay Elect, Voodoo Man
From the Lost Land of Mu, sans the Zulu scam

It's just real Black History
Robert LeRoy Ripley

Believe it or not, I'm gon' spit it till they strip me
Crown me with thorns
March me up the hill crucifix me then ditch me
The rest is all mystery

I be in New Orleans making water out of whiskey
Casting judgment on the IRS who audited the Gypsies
Tipsy, I got the game Tipsy
Staggering out the club, dropping coins in the jitney
