The Show Act I Act II by Tall Paul Lyrics
[Verse One]
Spectating Jin debilitating chins on television
Cousin tape recording bars pacing in the kitchen
Commenced penning written's prior to my new religion
Being present yellow belly fella smellin' Nelly's vision
Similar in age to Dave when he first hit the stage
Imagine camera flash capacity crowds and loving fame
But I can't empathize what's real I cannot simulate
What's your answer to an exec's question? how much can you take?
Before I cast a stone understand I have to man the throne
Can't gas-n-go then my word is weak you heard my speech my word is bond
I respect a man who accepts to reject even Fox money
When Fox makes a request to recast a black for a blond honey
The media had some nerve "Chapelle pulls the race card"
Staff encouraged ignorant skits the black white supremacist
Shit was funny but even a dummy could understand what I'm trying to spit
Comedy Central don't give two shits of the moral dilemma he's dealing with
They're wheeling it, and even after he left to Africa
He was rumored a mental crackhead the media was trying to damage him
That bogusness, would've wrought roguishness out of you too
And if you can walk away from fifty mil I'd respect you too
[Chorus]
Through purple rain I'm trying to earn a First Ave star
Tall Paul in black with a white backdrop
The furthest name from working wage he's in a Jaguar
I'm in a Buick going to protest a mascot
I might make it still if I, write my will
Like Mike gave you thrill I might, make a mil
On mic's made to kill where's my, major deal
Just might fake it 'til I'm like, Dave Chappelle
[Verse Two]
Misunderstood, widely considered washed up
Ignorant folks cackling cracking jokes "Dave smokes rocks up"
So even though his kids ain't fat from integrity sandwiches
I praise no man but I respect him for the man he is
Most celebrities with his past stature resemble mannequins
He quit show biz to retain humanity they were lacking then
To me, that kinda speaks to who he truly is
For shouting me out, this is the least a dude could duly do for him
Who am I kidding? I'd be a fool to think I could truly influence him
More than a barbers buzz cuts he gave my name and cuts buzz
Just cause some bruh's was, buds to buzz the hush hush
I thank y'all brothas for shouting me out to Dave cause then came much lush
Much love, placing my aim on this game so I can come up
And donate half of the proceeds from my cd's to a fund's love
At least once must, simple humility is something I come from
Catch me throwing a free comedy block party in Brooklyn slums son
[Chorus]
[Chappelle Show sample: Dave Chappelle]
Yes they deserve to die, and I hope they burn in hell
[Verse Three]
The Chappelle Show hit town, let me first preface it's relevance
He popped up with a block of appearance's setting precedent's
One week before the present tense, mentioning his presence's
Prince's principle popular venue selling hella tix
Hella chicks and fellas went to laugh with Dave the first day
And learned about a native's name who crashed the game with wordplay
In here hey just hearsay, Dave was roasting Tall Paul
I received an at from Big Cats on Twitter a bitter sweet call
Wished I would've been there, to witness greatness transpire
Media poppin' got me shining like a famous campfire
Dedicated supporters of mine shouted me out when Dave inquired
About the local Hip Hop scene's native MC's are they fire?
Tall Paul, Tall Paul, Tall Paul he's got bars
He better have better rhymes than Tall and Paul and not be all short
Six three to be exact he said, if he can even rap
I'll sign him up for a million bucks and then the map can see him snap
My cap was napped a cat relaxed when all this craziness went down
Then I woke to the tweet from Cats my head afloat my feet on ground
Surreality settled in as reality
Borrowed bucks for Dave tickets to get my ticket to them bucks
Went to the second show the second night to see just what was up
Somewhat because I'm a money hungry Dave chasing Oprah
But it's Paul chasing Dave like, Tyrone chasing coca
In a crack faced'ed daze like I loathe staying sober
Cause I did, and I do, bodda bing, bodda boom
Dave said hey it's nice to meet you shouted me out on stage too
When he mentioned Protect Ya Spirit and said you're deeper than most
I knew then that he played my music and heard me beast with the flows
[Chorus]
[Verse Four]
Those who've been supporting me know that I'm dope
It was never because of a shout out it's been because I'm cutthroat
From the start I've spoke from the heart for the most part I'm myself
But it took a shout out from Dave Chappelle to get my name on the shelf
I can't complain it helped when my aim's a little fame and some wealth
So I remain in stealth preparing attacks I'm taking that mil
One man army like factory farming I'm taking that milk
The media lately wants my story so I'm making that kill
Got Vita.mn, the Star Tribune and the City Pages all amused
Writing in their columns after completing recent interviews
I ain't mad at em, cause it took Dave for them to take a stab at him
I actually kinda like them apples like a first man's madame
If I blew up mainstream news would call me a screw up
If I denied fifty million in cake to escape to Bermuda
Even famous, I'd still bazooka up hooka's with losers
Cause beggars can't be choosers I'd do it just to feel human
[Chorus]
Spectating Jin debilitating chins on television
Cousin tape recording bars pacing in the kitchen
Commenced penning written's prior to my new religion
Being present yellow belly fella smellin' Nelly's vision
