The Mask

Is it much, too much to ask
Not to hide behind the mask?

Head on straight, mask on crooked
Exit stage left with the cash gone took it
Off like a Koufi, the fit was a bit doofy
He tried to get screwy with that two for you

One, two for me, G, cut the cranky attitude
Wet him like a handkerchief on a stanky fatter dude
Whether you's a rapper or dang sanger
Once you in there's only, one way out like a gang banger

With a new crew key chain and street name
What set do he claim for fame, peep game?
Just to keep feta and stay dip
You need it like a letter or better a getaway whip

This old thing's rusted, encrusted
As the gold rings the old kings busted
Plan to end global starvation and fat herb
Now what in tarnation did I go and do that for?

Stuff happens like gettin' snuffed for tough tit rappin'
See I told 'em enough, quit yer yappin'
The same applied to any and all chumps
The only question he had for y'all is, "How many lumps?"

Three or four, either or mon cheri amour
See why you need your heater for?
The super villain slid in your party for free
Warn a emcee, get outta here, kid, you bother me

The day I took my mask off, my face was missin' for two days
For the record, G, came back a year later
Whole new identity, Tony Starks pedigree
My money green like my nickname was celery

Who is Ghost, who flashes toast
Never wore sheets but bulletproof coats
Oh, no, the fans cry for the mask back on
Told 'em, "Ghost is dead, he'll return at the crack of dawn"

Few years from now, him and his pals
Before the Jetson-era arrived, he'll be back summertime
2005 with a half a face iron
The other half oughta look like alien science

In the summertime, you can see the face boil
But the other side I keep lubed with the Penzoil
You mad loyal, when the wintertime come, what?
I get stuck 'cause my brain all numb

Like I ate a thousand ice's and frozen Pepsis
Aqua man's pops can't water-check me
Disrespect me, indirectly, I seen his feet
And they both lefty, he's steppin' half-correctly

As I stroll the globe and terrorize the planet
With a Bill Clinton mask and them Playskool hammers
Me and Doom, always be the best on the landin'
Superheros for life until our shows vanish

Check me out, my name is Brak and that's a fact
I got a mom and a dad and they are out back
We sit by the pool and we nibble on snacks
And we eat a big lunch and we all take naps!
Why'd the beat stop? Hey! Hey!
I got a mask too so gimme the mic!
Cheh! You're no doom

C'mon Danger Mouse, gimme that beat!
Turn the beat around! Love to hear per-cussion!
You suck!
Turn it upside down! Love to hear it
I know talent, and you ain't got it
I wasn't done
