The Corner - Galactic

Posted on the block

Leanin' on the light post chillin'

Six o’clock, on the button

The night’s gonna enter soon

Every peddler, hit the grind out early

Old lady walks her dog, in a bright red derby

Singin' hymns

And look at those rims

An old man Sander’s steady-guzzlin' the gin

Outta tin cups, beggin' for some ends

I could lend them, I send him

Out on his way and drop him out to drink it up again

Just then

I saw Gwen and her friends

Ten ways, with a derriere

I would love to go up in

I said «you need some Gab in your life»

She just grins

Strode away with a walk that could make your head spin

The neighbor’s dog hopped out the fence again

Little scrawny mutt that resemble Rin Tin Tin

Little Gary rolls by, poppin' wheelies on his Schwinn

On the corner in the city as the evenin' sets in

On the corner, in the city

Spendin' all day under sun rays (sun rays)

Watchin' youths play through their young days (young days)

I’m the straight-tree puffin' bombay

On the corner, in the city, as the evening sets in

On the pavement, when all day (all day)

sittin' on

As the day drifts chillin' partway

On the corner, in the city, as the evening sets in

In this city, on the corner

Neighborly flavors where

Major players play and

Parlay so savor the flavor, ladies

And babies are sendin' the craziness

Shadin' the rays all the same

As amazing outtakes

Which is fade-away

And holy blades are chasin' every sinner

And everyday is a day full of grace

And a place where you takin' a break from the ache

And the state of the recent

I stand there unpatiently

Hatin' the sickness

Thinkin' there basically ain’t no place

Like can kick it for a day

Three amigos, in ponchos

Eating fritos and nachos

Speakin' lingo

They walk slowly by a-ME, go:

«Que paso, que paso?»

Said «I'd like to help you out

But no habla Español»

Up the block

I heard beefin'

Heard guns blow

And unknown assailant

Tried to rip off

The local corner store

Little did he know the owners

Were some crazy Armenians

They chased him up the street

Caught him, stripped off his clothes

Tied him to a telephone pole

And beat him till his hole

Dribbles black, blue and purple

Then they cut off his toes

Stuck him in the back of they truck

And off they drove

About three minutes later

Up drove po-po

They said «what's all the commotion?»

«Hey, I don’t know»

They started grillin' me like

«What you doin' out here for?»

They tell me empty out my pockets

I was like «hell no»

I could tell that they was

'Cause they smelled like pork

Noise of pig shrieking

They did their little search on me

And find nothing but dope

«They sent you out selling dope?»

«Hell no, I rock shows

I’m your daughter’s favorite rapper

Ask her 'bout my flow»

On the corner in the city as the moonlight glows

On the corner, in the city

Spendin' all day under sun rays (sun rays)

Watchin' youths play through their young days (young days)

I’m the straight-tree puffin' bombay

On the corner, in the city, as the evening sets in

On the pavement, when all day (all day)

sittin' on

As the day drifts chillin' partway

On the corner, in the city, as the evening sets in

On the corner, in the city

On the corner, in the city

On the corner, in the city

On the corner, in the city, as the evening sets in

On the corner, in the city

On the corner, in the city

On the corner, in the city

On the corner, in the city, as the moonlight glows
