Ah, what the heck. <\/p>\n

The Words:<\/p>\n

The river flows and goes; it’s on unceasingly.
\nWhatever water is, it’s other than it’s gonna be.
\nBubbles on the surface disappear; they don’t for long.
\nAnd all the nippers that I knew back in the day are gone. <\/p>\n

Seen a tremor. Seen a fire. Seen a typhoon.
\nPray to Amida, ’cause I know I’m gonna die soon.
\nNow did I hear a sucker nipper say “what”?
\nThis is the record of the ten foot square hut. <\/p>\n

Sucker Nippers buildin houses like there gonna last.
\nThey don’t know shit about the future; they forgot the past.
\nBut I ain’t stressin ’cause it’s nothin that I wanna grab.
\nPick my house and I can move it like a hermit crab.<\/p>\n

Don’t interrupt me when I’m flowin on my koto,
\nInlfatin, imitatin the ways of Minamoto.
\nLive in the mountains, I don’t never wanna own a gun;
\nRock the evanescent like my girl Sei Shonagon.<\/p>\n

Now did I hear a sucker nipper say “what”?
\nThis is the record of the ten foot square hut. <\/p>\n

In my declining years, I deign to live alone.
\nI drop the mic. I drop the brush. I drop the ink stone.
\nBut the I pick em up again so I can write a rhyme.
\nYou suckers hastin, but I’m wastin all your precious time.<\/p>\n

Don’t even matter, cause you know my flow is pleasant.
\nMy mom and pop is out there cryin like a pheasant.
\nEver present evanescence is my lesson, and it’s funky.
\nI shed a tear when I’m wailin with a monkey.<\/p>\n

But I pity sucker nippers cause they don’t know how to rap at all.
\nLose all their money every time they move the capital.
\nDid you hear the news? I never get the blues,
\nChumpin sucker nippers with particular views.<\/p>\n

I’m a lonely rajaputra. I don’t have to pay no rent.
\nWhen I read the Lotus Sutra I’m about to pitch a tent.
\nNever harm a living creature; I don’t wanna get bent.
\nKick it with the Dharma cause my karma’s all spent. <\/p>\n

That’s why I’m droppin all the servants and the loot, so
\nWhen I get tired of intoning the nembutso,
\nThat’s when I’m rollin with my homie, who is ten, yo.
\nWe picking cogon grass; don’t even need a hoe.<\/p>\n

All you sicker nippers no my crib is so fly,
\nCause I like small huts and I cannot lie. <\/p>\n
