Halfway to Albany Road Rap (Explicit Lyrics)

with apologies to Lucinda and Notorious BIG


I get into the car
you know the rain is comin' down
gotta go pick up my boy
up where Pataki is a clown

start up the engine
gonna groove on down the line
I slip in some sounds
windshield wipers slappin' time

suckin' down the coffee
through a bendy paper straw
and then I'm thinkin-bout a poem
that I posted on the board

got the Chili Peppers playin'
you know them funky naked Reds
then jus' five mile from the house
you know it smack me in the head

the word is wrong
huh, huh, huh, said
that word is wrong


An hour crawls by
past the wet window glass
the thruway just a blur
and then the bridge crawls up my ass

you know

my brain is screamin' "fix it"
and my head just hurts
can't think of nothin' else
except that line that jus' don't work

because

the word is wrong
oww, oww, oww, said
that word is wrong


got two more hours
on this rainy fuckin' road
ain't never gonna make it
you know the miles are rollin' slow

and

my mind jus' keeps obsessin'
then a beamer cuts me off
I won't chase the motherfucker
cuz the only thing I know

is that

the word is wrong
huh, huh, huh, said
that word is wrong


The gas stop rest room
fast food phone place
is comin' up ahead
and I know I'm gonna stop

because

I seen by the phone booths
there's a terminal screen
I feed the bitch my credit card
log on and there it is

you see

the word is wrong
huh, huh, huh, said
that word is wrong


who designed this mother
man the cursor move like shit
really wish I had a mousey
cuz I gotta do this quick

and so I

backspace backspace
backspace backspace
type in five new letters
and I click the EDIT place

and now

the word ain't wrong
huh, huh, huh, said
that word ain't wrong

and now

the word ain't wrong
hallelujah I can live because
that word ain't wrong
