Lyrics:

(Seven summers old, lovely like I told...)

I know a lotta people but not many that I trust
And outta those I trust, not many I would touch
They say I talk in circles but I write it line by line
And if I don't really know you, I'm-a lie and say I'm fine

And I spit rhymes hoping that someone who thinks like me
Related to the emotions interlocked within the psyche
Spit rhymes to catch chicks to catch hope
To catch that ear of the kid who says 'damn that shit is dope' (damn that shit is dope)

Not to mention I love the attention
Went from hidin' in the boxcars to drivin' the engine
And I sit in the same chair under the same light
Round the same time o' night when I write
Probably will for life

Twenty-five and I ain't gettin' any younger
Living to survive, can you spare a penny, brother?
Now in the name of all worldwide rhyme sayers
I'm-a drive past King Park and spray the soccer players

How many licks does it take to get to the center of your universe?
How many licks does it take to get to the center of your universe?
How many licks does it take to get to the center of your universe?
How many licks does it take to get to the center of your universe?
(Let thy moon arise while I close my eyes...)

Finally finalize the line by line
Of tryin' to climb in between your mind's thighs
Self esteem, watch it grow like mold
Watch the loads it holds as the soul unfolds

Track my faith as I wade through a pack a day
Have to wait, call me back next Saturday
Pass the steak, I'm about to stick this vampire
Touch the heart and lay the carcass on the campfire
Burn, baby, burn and take your sins with ya

If the shoe don't fit ya, remove it to lose the business
Get the car started, warm it up for the journey
Wake up abuse and shake off the blues
And make stops to fill the tank, stops to urinate
Stops to meditate and let the thoughts resonate
Stops to celebrate, stops just for heaven's sake
Stops in an attempt to take the bent shit and get it straight

The asthma regulates the breath control
So thanks for buying the tapes and eat your vegetables
And yo, I write it for me and if you like it, that's love
And if you don't, that's life, 'cause life don't like Slug

How many licks does it take to get to the center of your universe?
How many licks does it take to get to the center of your universe?
How many licks does it take to get to the center of your universe?
How many licks does it take to get to the center of your universe?
(Let thy moon arise while I close my eyes...)

It's the super unleaded, embedded within my head trips
Kept it in check with the skeptics and the essense
When it festers, infection fills with fluid
Apply the pressure it bursts to satisfy the thirst

Twenty-twenty sight so I got no excuse
My soul is broken loose from overuse
Tell me who can hold the noose while I make certain it fits me
Judgement, first impression, naturally shifty

Each one tried to teach one when it begun
Struggling for freedom, tryin' to build a kingdom
Now you're sippin' Seagrams, tryin' to fix a threesome
Between you, your girl and that freak with the Nissan

Wheels keep spinning, accelerator sticks
So sugar up the coffee and cellophane your dick
And lace the spliff and make sure that dosage is right
'Cause life's a bitch (life's a bitch) and I'm-a hold it tight

How many licks does it take to get to the center of your universe?
How many licks does it take to get to the center of your universe?
How many licks does it take to get to the center of your universe?
How many licks does it take to get to the center of your universe?
(Let thy moon arise while I close my eyes...)

How many licks does it take to get to the center of your universe?
How many licks does it take to get to the center of your universe?
How many licks does it take to get to the center of your universe?
How many licks does it take to get to the center of your universe?
(Let thy moon arise while I close my eyes...)
