Adventures In Wonderland Lyrics - Illadelph Halflife - The Roots

[ursula rucker] 

Fuck. kill. and prosper 

Is the gospel of wonderland, where 

Street sands, are quick. 

To suck you down to the abyss 

With the lure of pure bliss if you kiss the dicks 

Of the niggaz? never. nosferatu's 

Those witches and warlocks in blue 

Government gumshoe, keepers of the first zoo 

Who? . me? . 

I'm the modern day vixen vampire slayer 

Unauthorized player, in the capitalist contest 

To see who gets money 

No milk and honey, in this land 

Cause justice has been banned 

So it's play dirty or die by the hand 

That's holding all the guns 

Plunged, deep into religion was my first decision 

To save me and my daughter's lives, but 

I can't thrive off spirit and scripture 

The picture grew clearer; I made the move to rear her 

In a life wanting for nothing 

So I got into this drug thing 

Not doing, but dealing 

Sealing fates and, healing struggle gaped, wounds 

Of the doomed became my mission 

Izm was just too small time 

I had to find the best design to 

Fuck with the massive motherfuckers minds, and pockets 

So I sold? kits and, alleyway thigh splits for two bits 

And, five year old preschool pussy 

And, once strong now bony backs and stretched out 

Weary racks of snatch, in other words. 

. I sold crack 

Morality was buried deep, beneath the new jeep, 

Silk sheets and money heaps 

Still the good mother, I sent my daughter off to 

Boarding school to keep shit under cover 

All the while envisioning myself, a champion of ghetto causes 

Plus his, game I was playing, and winning 

While sinning, against myself and soul to get the gold 

I was the female don, the crack queen 

To me I seemed unstoppable, my coffers full 

I went buckwild, wanting more 

Like the pipe worn whores I began to deplore 

No time for playing with my coochie 

Counting my man's mad lucci 

While he was up inside some hoochie's loose piece 

I signed the checks and, I counted out the cash 

Wasn't saving ass for no niggaz sent upriver 

I thought my shit was tight. 

. til my empire started to quiver 

Taking every chance, under surveillance, being listened to 

And watched, like assata shakur 

My place on the top was no more sure 

Loose lips flipped the script 

The fantasy trip, swiftly ended 

It took no time to blend in, with the population prison 

My jaded vision, busted like a cherry 

Every, dream I had, now tainted bad 

I fucked and, I killed, to prosper 

Upheld each tenant, of the ghastly gospel 

Shift to a different wonderland to pay the price for my vice 

A land of fields to toil in like slaves 

No lillies in this field just plenty of souls to save 

Plenty of fat uniformed rats with 

Below average size cocks that slither 

Through cell locks, in the night 

Lactating tits being licked, left and right 

Plenty of coochie, burning with desire 

Like black churches in the south 

Black prayers and pussy on fire 

Penned up behind barbed wire 

Me and my fellow female mammals, animals 

Bitches in cages, bodies racked with hormone rages 

Minds haunted by our children's faces 

They mace us, with promises of rehabilitation slash corruption 

Place smoking guns in empty hands of, native sisters and sons 

I joined in this nation's favorite pasttime 

On a quest to gets mine 

Now I'm passing time standing on line 

In the commissary to buy maxi-pads 

Instead of shopping at barney's for chanel bags 

Nana who raised me, went to bed a-dazed 

Via my mistakes, and my daughter hates 

Me for what I did 

And I'm fucked. and I'm stuck 

Doing the devil's bid 

Being locked in a moral corrupt crib 

Psst. missing my kid. psst. hey girl, 

You wanna get finger fucked tonight? 

I swear I'll stick it in and up tight just right
