The Origin of the Ink-pen Slinger..How I Came To Be
Let me tell you what happened to me the other day
I was on the job, working hard, around the way
When these three little guys came into the yard
Not ordinary dudes, these were Asian pards
One Japanese cat, and a couple Filipinos
In a Chevy Silverado and an El Camino
Bringing up the rear was a Chrysler van
With a crew, twenty deep, and their groupie fans
I was chugging down a soda; because it was freaking hot
Ninety-six in the shade, and it hit the spot
When the three dismounted and came over to me
The little Japanese fellow was the first to speak
He said, so sorry, but we need your help
My name is Abe Tanoka and these are my reps
Yes, they are Filipino, by birth and design
Please excuse, but decent help is mighty hard to find
The chap on my left is Aquetii Luzon
But he goes by the title of Little Al Capone
My striker and enforcer when the game is weak
He totes a 30-ought-30 and he lets it speak
When one threatens us, Little Al's a must
Competition is nil, competitors in the dust
Now the tike on my right, is a different breed
And don't let the glasses fool you, see, he's down with me
Alomonii Biryani, which was his name at birth
We call him Deep-Pockets Dickey, and it's all he's worth
Bringing banking to the table, is his hobby and trade
When there's a deal to be closed; then the deal is made
I said, yeah, that's straight and I can understand
But what's that got to do with me; so, what you need, my man
He said, the word on the street is you're the best around
When it comes to dropping lyrics, you're the cat's meow
You're the whole enchiladas and the tangy sauce
We heard your songs make the ladies take their panties off
Make the suckers and the busters, drop their mikes and sulk
You make other artist tremble, just by clearing your throat
Now, that kind of talent, I can't be without
I got a proposition for you, so just hear me out
He said, come write for me, you'll get a pot of gold
And that, was that; the Ink-pen Slinger rolls
