Reckon I missed it, when they were handing out the linguistics,
I was on planet rock eating Hip-hop biscuits, so don't ask me about philosophies of Archimedes, my education was beat-street and graffiti,
My first transmission was a freestyle competition, slicing up MC's like a rabbi on a rampage,
I got ampage like an oscilloscope you see the waves you see it's me, you know it's dope
I wasn't ready before but I am now, gonna get a pen of paper put em down now, gonna say my rhymes, gonna say em like prayers, like them people speaking to gods and demons without a care, gonna let the whole world know I‘m here, the whole world’s gonna know I’m here, I’m gonna let the whole world know I‘m here, the whole world’s gonna know I’m here.
They call me Bobby X, they found me walking along the freeway, they call me Bobby X, they found me walking along the freeway.
Bobby X up from the flashes, everything I have is everything that I smashes,
I clashes with Medusa and the Titans, if I’m by myself then it’s myself that I’m fighting, I’m black lightening, electro shocking man, rockets on my boots, don’t call me no rocket man, I’m moving silent what, more than invisible, rhymes in my hand, I got a fist full, rhymes in my hand, I got a fist full, rhymes in my hand.
Wasn't ready before but I am now, gonna get a pen of paper put em down now, gonna say my rhymes gonna say em like prayers, like them people speaking to gods and demons without a care, gonna let the whole world know I‘m here, the whole world’s gonna know I’m here, yeah, I’m gonna let the whole world know I‘m here, the whole world’s gonna know I’m here.
They call me Bobby X, they found me walking along the freeway, They call me Bobby X, they found me walking along the freeway,
Wasn't ready before but I am now, I wasn't ready before but I am now, I wasn't ready before but I am now
They call me Bobby X, they found me walking along the freeway, asked me my name, didn’t know what to say, but I can tell you what I done, what I did, where I went cos I wrote it all down in my book, I can tell you what I done, where I went, what I saw cos I wrote it all down in my book, I can tell you what I did, where I went, what I saw cos I wrote it.
