I WONDER

Yo! I sit on top of a cloud and watch the world go by

Wondering how in the devil a plane could fly.

Wondering how in the devil they even imagined

To invent a turntable that could last a lifetime.

Wondering how you could even see out of the retina, the eye

Wondering why they’re telling us lies.

Making us believe in aliens, going in circles

With no particular destination planned, damn.

I’m wondering if man existed before the ape?

I’m wonder if I was trapped in a groove could I escape.

I wonder if Nostardamus was a prophet or a fake

If there were drugs around in his time, which one would he take?

Would it be heroin? Would it be cocaine? Or would it be crack?

Was he really a genius or was he off key and off track?

I wonder if I could take my brain out of its container

And still survive? Would I be alive or would I die?

I wonder if God really exists or if it was just a figment

Of my imagination that approached me and told me to keep striving?

Left in a flash. Said he had to dash.

Suckering succotash ... the world’s about to crash … I wonder!

I wonder what they were thinking when they constructed the pyramids

The Egyptians, I wonder how they were raising their kids.

I wonder why Hitler did the things that he did

And I wonder why we exercise to keep the body fit.

I wonder why it rains. How did the blood get into my veins?

I wonder why we have to fight so hard so we can gain.

What makes the sun shine? What makes the moon shed

Light at night time? What makes a man blind?

What makes the world go round? What makes a clown a clown?

And what makes the Bronx the boogie down?

What connects the arm to the shoulder? What turns a man

Into a soldier? What makes the winter colder?

I wonder why you act like you act when you act

Like you’re a star … swimming in caviar!

I wonder what keeps the clouds up in the sky

And I wonder why we have to be born before we die.

I wonder if I can fly if I try

Survive in a fire! Return after I retire … I wonder!

I wonder what it would be like selling a million records in a week

I wonder what it would be like running at supersonic speeds

Breaking the sound barrier, landing on the moon

Leaving the earth in the flesh only to return as a cartoon

Character; an image that was brought to life with a pen

Re-invented as a super hero, badder than most men

Never ending. I wonder how the telephone works

So I could rip off Telecom, ’cause they’re pissing me off. The Jerks!

I wonder if it’s possible to move a mountain and place it

Smack in the middle of my street for better scenery.

Well? I wonder what it would be like living in hell

Would it be the same as living on earth? I doubt that! Never mind.

I wonder what it means when I dream, the audience screams

When I rhyme ’cause I resuscitated the scene.

I wonder if a computer can cook if I programme it

Was Diego Maradona the greatest footballer of all time?

Jimmy Hendrix the best Guitarist, Bruce Lee greatest martial artist

Whatever …. Regardless.

I wonder who came up with the concept of having a queen

I wonder if I concentrate could I turn into steam

Turn into whatever I visualise, a tiger with sabre teeth

The richest man in the world with golden eyes

I wonder if I could put in a request to be reincarnated

And transferred to a better place, a better time? … I wonder!
