RAPPIN' RAPTOR
©2012 Gary Bowman Red-tailed hawk, Sittin’ on the power line, Watchin’ cars go flying by, On Highway 99 Everybody rushin’ all ‘round, In such a hurry, Lookin’ down, at the ground, See the people scurry ‘round On the road, with a heavy load, Like a South American poison toad Hustle, bustle, stress and strife, Looking for the meaning of life I circle ‘round in a blueberry sky, Hear my shriek and raspy cry, Run, little rabbit, don’t be slow, Cuz I drop from the sky, Like a thunderbolt Rappin’ Raptor is my name, I’m sittin’ at the top, top of the food chain Rhymes rattle ‘round and ‘round in my brain, I can’t explain, It’s a little insane Forests, fields, bluffs and trees, See me cruisin’ on a summer breeze Celestial dome, that I call home, Lookin’ far as I can see, I got great acuity Critters scurry everywhere, voles and mice and snowshoe hares Chipmunks, woodchucks, woodrats, acrobats, circus clowns, all runnin’ ‘round Circle once, Circle twice, Frantic mice, chill like ice Run, little mousie, don’t be slow, Cuz I drop from the sky, Like a thunderbolt Rappin’ Raptor is my name, I’m sittin’ at the top, top of the food chain Rhymes rattle ‘round and ‘round in my brain, I can’t explain, It’s a little insane A Star is Born, In a distant sea, In the spiral arms of a galaxy, Hydro-atoms accelerate, Proto-star equilibrates Expansion, contraction, Nuclear reaction, Yo, Can’t get no satisfaction! Star collapses, exploding gases, No more fusion, itsa revolution, Stellar implosion, betta move over, uhhhh - blinding Supernova Galactic dust and star debris, Sea of life for you and me Rappin’ Raptor is my name, I’m sittin’ at the top, top of the food chain Rhymes rattle ‘round and ‘round in my brain, I can’t explain, It’s a little insane We all got a will to survive, Do what we can, to stay alive Some gonna take, Some gonna give, Some gotta die, So others can live, We glide, we soar, we dive, we score, No regrets, It’s who we are Talons slice like a Bowie knife, It’s all a part of the Web of Life I can spot ya, a mile away, ya better make hay, and don’t you stray Run, little rabbit, don’t be slow, Cuz I drop from the sky, Like a thunderbolt Rappin’ Raptor is my name, I’m sittin’ at the top, top of the food chain Rhymes rattle ‘round and ‘round in my brain, I can’t explain, It’s a little insane |
