Ginkabiloba - The Koreatown Oddity, Taz Arnold

I’m sitting alone in a room of memories

The walls drop out before me

A large closet filled with giant records appears

My clothes of childhood drape over them

I look at them, I look at myself

Yeah, when I was eating honey barbeque wings from the Colonel

I’m picking Michaelangelo, playing Ninja Turtles

And action video games or action figures

Two pairs of nunchucks, y’all niggas don’t want none

stepped up, we made him regret it

Leave 'em running with their tails tucked back to the shredder

The game fucked up we oughta reset it

Oh, the game’s fucked up, we gotta reset it.

Wait, lemme see.

Probably just got

a bunch of dust in it.

Y’all put any alcohol in this earlier?

Let’s pop it back

in. It’s probably going to be cool.

Oh, look at that

Now, I gotta start all over from the beginning

Instead I’m headed to the liquor store to get me some chips

Walk inside and I seen all the kids

Gathered around the machine playing Street Fighter

A bunch of quarters stacked up on the screen

In a row, just to show how many people got next

As soon as someone finally get a chance

The kid advanced on the sticks and quickly whip their ass

I laugh, head back to the pad, bag of Cool Ranch and Watermelon Gatorade

My mom tied a yellow-green red shoelace around my head yesterday

Pulled out the clippers and gave me a fade

Just seen a friend who moved the Minnesota

Always watching Star Trek when I came over

Always had the same haircut as LeVar Burton

When he introduced us to books on Reading Rainbow

Everybody come to my crib tonight to watch the Tyson fight for free

'Cause I’m stealing cable

The kid next door hit me in the face with a rock

At the tilt, my mom wiped my face off with a cloth

She said, «Go outside and do something about it»

I grabbed my little skateboard and smacked the shit out him

They ran louder every hour, listening to Death Certificate skits

Robin Lynch, James Brown radio mix stuck in the deck

Hop fences, shoot on courts with hoops and no nets

A couple garter snakes around the neck as pets, WWF

That’s leg locks, and off-the-top rope-red box

You big dummy Lamont, you got quotes, get copped

My pop’s game, so obviously

Had an older sister lived across the street

Ironically, we where we first meet

He graduated from Skywalk University
