Kish I Rhymed The World In 80 Days Lyrics

I Rhymed The World In 80 Days Lyrics

* originally from the album of the same name







I'm going on a voyage, to rock the globe



As I rome, I return, after a long journey home



From nation to destination, it ain't a vacation



So let me bust a conversation



Top spinners, I went globe-trotting



So I grab the pen and the rhymes I started jottin'



Tales return of a trip that were made to amaze



I rhymed the world in 80 days







[Chorus]



I rhymed the world baby (in 80 days)



I rhymed the world, oh yeah







The first stop is France, the land of romance



The city of lights, ladies and love, with a crazy night life



Bustin' out my voulez-vous and my p's and q's



Sportin' a pair of Air Jordan shoes



Steppin' at eleven o'clock



Ladies, whatever's clever, I'm a jock



I met a young girl named Yvette in a very tight sweater



Wait, it gets better



Small talk, let's take a walk, I gaze, her eye's afire



She told me "you're my one desire"



Let's share champagne and rain showers



Catch the sunrise, over the Eifel Tower



Yvette, don't take it as a dis, but I'm gonna miss you



Please don't cry, here's a tissue



I'll be back, you'll always be in my heart



But you know, I've got to go, 'cause







[Chorus]







Off to the Soviet Union, I'm showin' improvin'



Killin' emcees and I just keep on movin'



Rhymes are set razor-sharp



Ready to battle any sucker who starts up



Got on the mic, load it up and test it



Cool, and busted out the bullet-proof vest



Ready to roll and I'm strapped, wait a minute



Double check...forgot the baseball hat



Stickin' to picks, but I was spoted (by who?)



An agent, the KGB, yo, they're on it



He was ready to step but I was settin'



It was my move next and I had one move left



Play it cool and I passed him



Turned around, dropped down, pulled out my mic to match him



He ran down and ally and I lost him



So I ran faster, bionic style like Steve Austin



Turned the corner, hit an ambush



Translation: Russians, waitin' on a bum-rush



There's nowhere to go and they jumped me



Tied me up, and dumped me in the back of a truck



I was taken, they were shaken me up with a joint



With a gun at my head to reinforce the point



And they said "you'd better leave"



And I said "there ain't no way"



I looked at the gun, then I said "Well, ok"



But as I got on the plane to break out of the place



I said "hey, remember the face"



'Cause I'll be back to attack, and this you can know



But I've got to go, 'cause







[Chorus]







Last stop, it's the motherland



(yo Kish, you went to Africa?)



Nah, Japan



Return to learn of the roots in a search to prove



When the brain is fed, I'll bust loose



Readin' the race, the lies that are hidin'



And bring new vision forth to the consience



Son of the rising sun land to stand as one



It runs in the family, Shogun



Met the masters of mind who asigned me a task



To kick a rhyme solo, fast or slow



To do it with the knowledge and wisdom



A hundred and eighty degrees of beats give them



Bow to each of the teachers and left for the west



So ends the eighty day quest



Now I'm back, but I'll be leavin' again



Before you know, 'cause I've got to go, 'cause







[Chorus]
