I'm payin' homage to the dopest of poets To the oldest and brokest To those who wrote and spoke of the oceans From the Greeks to the Romans To the Yanks and the red coats and All of those who time has kept frozen Homer took me on an Odyssey Plato brought me philosophy Aesop taught me how to behave properly Geography was invented by Eratosthenes My wariness of hubris derived from Sophocles One mid summer night I dreamt of a time In a quiet Hamlet where they only spoke in a rhyme Playing Othello against Macbeth he kept bluffing And when he won he made much ado about nothing Like Sam Taylor Coleridge smoking opium I rhyme like an ancient Mariner stepping up to the podium Drop lyrical ballads, and what are my words worth? First verse the prelude to the Earth's thirst For the dark, sick twisted and cravin So dark it's got edgar Allen Poe ravin For a tiger burning bright in the night, I might take The fruit from the poison tree of Bill Blake I met William's butler yeats, and he met his fate Guarding those he didn't love and fighting those he didn't hate So I will arise and go now, for the day is done Take the Longfellow bridge back to where it all begun Boston - I Thoreau and skip rocks on the pond Cold frozen frost force you to abscond Via the road less traveled, lined with Hawthorns And the thread gets raveled so maybe just hop on I'm payin' homage to the dopest of poets To the oldest and brokest To those who wrote and spoke of the oceans From the Greeks to the Romans To the Yanks and the red coats and All of those who time has kept frozen Took a trip around the states checkin all of greats Started at home where Guru and a crew Kreates Learned Terminology from Big Shug and Gangstarr Akrobatiks got me Mr Lifted cause I Slaine bars Can't forget the illest of Canadian hip hop Got Swollen Members from all of the work in the Sweatshop The k-os of Moka Only telling me it's raw baloney Classified walking in the Shad-ows I'm the one and only Took a stop in Minnesota, gave me an Eyedea Blueprint to an Illmind and Atmosphere My Brother Ali told me of these Unknown Prophets Were POS's and they were liable to start shit On to Seattle browsing the Common Market Went to Blue School, Chicharones in the apartment Sol good though it's Dark Time Sunshine Sadistik Dymes Def dropping with one line South to the bay interpret Hieroglyphics Lyrics born on Planet Asia from Souls of Mischief Mackin with Dre as we ride on by My oh my it seems I've opened Zion's eye Skip over AZ back to NYC Seat Awon I like Talib Kwelity Roll big Ls and tell Big Puns Pop Chaundon most def i think I'm done I'm payin' homage to the dopest of poets To the oldest and brokest To those who wrote and spoke of the oceans From the Greeks to the Romans To the Yanks and the red coats and All of those who time has kept frozen I take time to put together clever reverence For poetic presidents who came before Who took the glass ceiling and made it the floor The first in a long line making rich from poor They worked so hard to pave this road The streets now paved with gold As we grow old, and time takes its toll We can learn from them and one day maybe play they role
