The liner notes from the album said Manchild never turned his lyrics in. Here's my best guess as to what he's saying:
I know the ledge
I stood up one or too many
Times to record
The line walking through the next door
Breaking your fall
Shaking the walls
Holding the phone
Not taking the call
With crap rappers in the back alley
Waiting to brawl
You know I turn the other cheek
But see, I've only got two
So spit in my face all the time
And let's just see what I do
Why are you screaming so loud?
Are you too scared to listen?
Gather the scraps together
Build a whole new composition
You're on a mission
Because it's got you this far
But you'll be banished to hype man
Status like Spliff Star
Are we doing what we want?
Or we doing all we can?
Are we there yet?
Or are we stuck with both feet in the sand?
I plan to overstand the clandestine conquest
Set my feet upon the planet rock
With the treads you all express
Nothing less than groundbreaking
Making songs over the primitive
Forwarding the future foundation for you to finish it
Thank you
