Cold were my ways, back in the day
I used to play playstation all damn day
final fantasy 7 and sonic hedgehog,
hip hop and pop, coca cola
homie, my addiction
I couldn’t stop
frozen in -40 degrees,
icicles clinging to my veins
To my balls
and to my sleeves,
straight out of Uptown,
the bougousiee,
I’m the whitest Indian west of the MISSISSIPPI
shit I’m the only Indian ya’ll can see!
The land of 10 THOUSAND lakes,
the land of 10 MILLION snow flakes
and after this take,
I be taking hip hop BACK
from good to great
Homie dont make no mistake
in the heart of the city
hennepin, to 1st ave
Ya’ll be like
DAMN THIS BROWN DUDE
IS SIN-BAD
I SIN BAD
I BEEN MAD
I STILL ROCK THE 6-1-2
CUZ I”M IRONCLAD
THE ICE IS A ON
My lake wobegon is frozen
My ladies strong,
AND my children are THE chosen
To watch my musical parade,
Homie I’m Minnesota Made
—————————--
Lyndale and Lake,
Catch me on my grind
Moving from Calhoun to isles IM Turning back TIME
SOUTH HIGHHHH
REPRESENT I’ll be a tiger till I die and I’m REBORN as a PEASANT
burnt to resin
I’m testing and messing
WHILE critics are asking the question
Is this Minnesotan ICING ERY recording session
YES
And I confess,
Every SESH is BLESSED
by the angelic nastiNESS that I possess
You wanna exercise these lyrical demons
your gonna need a priestess,
with holy water
To beat this TEST
Im the Minnesota STORM
Roast you CHILDREN OF THE CORN
Sell down ON EAT STREET
Run of the GREEN MILL
Run of the deep DISH,
Run of the CLEAN ILL
Run of the ICE COLD
Run of the BE TRILL
I’m blowing you away
Going totally robo-
Like DOROTHY and TOTO
As you bop
to my mechatronic LOCK STOCK
and two smoking JUCY LUCYS
I’m lava hot
HA HA
Yeah
What I became
My minnesota Mastery
Endless purple DROPS are staining on the back of MY tapestry
I”M Bowing to my PRINCE
The artist formally raining like a PALPACY
Darling NIKKI LICKING on you NASTILY
the BINARY feeding from my COMPUTER BLUE
And its asking ME
was prince DYING
a minnesota CATASTROPHE?
YES, IT WAS
He died in VAIN
VIKING colors BURN in purple FLAMES
my tears streaming forever in PURPLE RAIN
And what can I say?
Homie, I’m Minnesota Made!
