"Please, state you're name for the record" Hello, I'm Henry... "Thank you"
[Chorus x1] State you're name for the record, it's best to count your blessings Give us your whereabouts for the time and question You're accused for having taken part in illegal rhyming sessions How do you plead, you damn dirty slimey pessant
[Verse 1] Well, certain times, but I'm not sure the word is right But you can call me a certified nursery rhyme maker, working double shift working thirty-five days a monthy, hectic, but it's working fine A loner, yeah, you heard it right, I'm not the flirty kind On the surface I'm a nervous guy, but you should see my dirty mind Well, actually, it's not that bad, if you search, you'll find That I wouldn't hurt a fly, except maybe certain typesThat are wearing shirts and ties,
but that's evil in its worst disguise
But I find it unfair that you're chasing me with these accusations Trying to hurt my long lost reputations Now people I know are acting like they never heard of Henry Guess that sweet girl I fancy, called Luck, has turned against me When the divorce of Mrs. Fortune - she turns Misfortune And it's causing distortion on that sweet feeling some would call harmony So with caution I caress her sweet cheak And try to figure out why she's mad, 'cause it beats me
[Chorus x2]
[Verse 2] I guess I'm guilty, Your Honor, hallelujah, morning glory Waking up once again to the same old boring story Just waiting for the whole hiphop business to sue me Yeah, it is the truth, kid, you either win it or lose it And get your head stuck in a can just like Winnie The Puh did And here I am, trying to reach that last drop of honey Better get my ass up and running, 'cause the rap cops are coming Blinded by hate they're trying to make a fast buck or something Now each one of these wanna-be's are trying to make fun of me There's no laughing-matter, half my life's a bitch, the other half is shattered people call me a bum and now my ass is flattered I sample the soundtrack of my daydream, and I use it on my record Now excuse me for a second while I sit and get relaxed I'm getting tired of doing shows with all these big-headed acts And most of the time I don't get paid a dime for 'em My favourite shows are when kids stopping me in the street and ask me to rhyme for 'em I'm breaking rules and regulations every time the beat drops People say I'm underground, but I'm actually rhymin' in a tree-top Where I let my words rest in a birds nest Until they're ready to be airborne, before then they're worthless But so y'all screaming curses; "Word smith" "He's just a freak poet, and he belongs in a circus" But do I really deserve this? Overdose of anger and fury you describe Well, I guess that's up to the jury to decide
