The Floor Is Caving In

Another gig another show
The instruments are good to go
All the homies on the flo
All the ladies, yeah, they know
Muthahardinyourface
Chump is rockin' out the place
The people runnin' in a race
To feel the rhythm of the bass
Beams cracking on the floor
People comin' in the door
The sweat, man, it starts to pour
And the crowd is wantin' more
The pressure, kid, it starts to climb
The air is filling up with rhymes
No one even knows the time
Right here is another line
We're playin' and the people, we're col' playin' and they keep on comin'
We're playin' and the people, we're col' playin' and the floor is hummin'
The floor is caving in
I said the floor is caving in
There's still people coming in
While the floor is caving in
Too much jumpin' goin' on and the building just can't take it one more
CHUMP show and the beams are gone and the building just won't make it
the house is packed again
But the heavies have arrived and now the floor is caving in
People bouncin' up and down
People gettin' thrown around
The band is just playin' loud
Pumpin out their token sound
The ground is like a trampoline
Droppin' like a guillotine
Flyest thing you ever seen
Like Seuss' eggs and ham are green
The amps are only gettin' louder
Like a clam it's gettin' chowder
Like Wolf Mountain got the powder
The flyest lady, yeah I found her
Lower now, we're gettin' lower
Singin' about that funky mower
The tempo isn't gettin' slower
And now we're on the bottom flo-er
We're playin' and the people, we're col' playin' and they keep on comin'
We're playin' and the people, we're col' playin' and the floor is hummin
The floor is caving in
I said the floor is caving in
There's still people coming in
While the floor is caving in
Too much jumpin' goin' on and the building just can't take it one more
CHUMP show and the beams are gone and the building just won't make it
the house is packed again
But the heavies have arrived and now the floor is caving in
Jumpin' and stompin' and dancin' and movin' and groovin' the band is beatin' and strummin' and pickin' and clickin' and sangin'
People flyin' real highn' and bumpin' and jumpin' and flippin' the drywall fallin' and callin' and slackin and crackin' and schalackin'

Jar Unopenable
02:51
|
|||
Today I was trying to make a sandwich and I needed some jelly
I tried to open it to spread it so I could put it in my belly
So I put the jar within my hands, squoze down upon it hard
I couldn't break the seal no matter what I did to that jar
I was tryin and was tryin and was tryin just to get it
I couldn't open it up I got a hammer and I hit it
Couldn't break it open that way there was nothin' to do
Instead of havin' a sandwich I just might have to eat soup
It doesn't matter to the jar
If you have to eat your bread plain
It doesn't matter to the jar
If it drives you insane
It's the jar unopenable
No matter how hard you try to pull
It's the jar unopenable
Don't even try to open it up, fool
It's the Jar unopenable
Hungry as I was the other night I needed pickles so I could finish
I'd cooked a Burger with some cheese and a little bit of spinach
I reached Into the fridgerator so I could get the last item
Without the realization that I was gonna have to fight him
I started twistin' and turnin' and churnin' turnin' the jar
It wouldn't even budge though I was tryin' real hard
I started screamin and rantin' and gettin' all flustered
I guess I have to eat it with an extra swipe of mustard
It doesn't matter to the jar
If you have to eat your bread plain
It doesn't matter to the jar
If it drives you insane
It's the Jar unopenable

Old School
02:45
|

Oh take me back to the Old School days where Arnold and Willis were chillin'
With Mr. T and Mr. D col cleanin' up the villians
Snoopy Snow Cone in the freezer, Tab Cola on the table
Rocky doin' backups for Bullwinke with the fable
Controllin' the court, dominatin' tetherball
Every action on the playground, I was runnin' 'em all
When it came to pencil break, my pencil was the fattest
Playin' pitfall on atari my high score was always baddest
I'm gettin' on that fat yellow bus and going back to the Old School
Oh put me on the fat yellow bus and take me back to the Old School (old school)
I'm always Gettin' Lamborghini and the Mansion and the betties playin' MASH
I had the flyest car and dopest house and all the biggest cash
With my velcro on my shoes always crossin' my laces
And in the game of 4 square knockin' kiddies from their places
In the old school days rollin' my socks full down the calf
My shirts were always sleeveless, tight, and always cut in half
Back when Snoop was just a pup and owned by bald headed Chuck
I was smashin' all the hotwheels with my Mattell Mack Truck
I'm gettin' on that fat yellow bus and going back to the Old School
Oh put me on the fat yellow bus and take me back to the Old School (old school)

I don't hate it too bad when you're around
I don't think it would suck if you came by a little more
You know I'm not in a state of utter resentment
When I open it up and I see you at my door
You know I thought it'd be okay if I knew you a little better
When you hung out with me it wasn't too uncool
Being with you didn't make me that upset
You didn't treat me too much like a fool
When I met you, lrig, yo, I didn't wanna hit ya
When I saw you, girl, I kinda wanted to meet ya.
And when we was talkin, I sorta didn't hate it
When you spoke to me I didn't wanna beat ya.
It'd be alright if you didn't think that I sucked.
If you didn't hate me too bad I guess I'd feel okay.
And when you're at my house I guess I don't really hate it.
I'm thinkin that I'm not gonna chase you away.
Baby I love you 'cause you don't suck
Being with you doesn't bother me too much
Baby I love you 'cause you don't suck
Baby I love you 'cause
Now you're here a lot and know you won't dis out
Cuz you don't hate me too bad, you're not thinkin' you're gonna miss out
I think it's okay when you bring yourself on by
Because I wanna tell ya, baby, I don't want you to die
Sometimes you're on my mind, I guess you're pretty okay
That's a bit more than I really wanna say
I mean you know that I don't mind hangin' around with you
And you can hang with me if you got nothin' else to do
So I'm thinkin' that tonight if you got nowhere else to be
I guess It'd be alright if you hung out with me
You can stay here if you want, I won't force you to go
I mean, if you stayed a while, I really wouldn't know
And if you wanna be with me I guess it'd be alright
It's a thought I could get used to, maybe one I wouldn't fight
So when you go and ask me if I care for you
I know that I don't hate you, so I'm guessin' that I do

Supa-Man
02:19
|
|||
My brutha got a red cape and a dope blue suit
Big "S" on his chest and fresh red boots
The homey got powers like a broker got deals
And he got more muscles than Geneva got steel
He foils every villian, 24 hour chillin'
Crook blood spillin' and evil dude killin'
City people thrillin', body bag fillin'
Ask him and he's willin', listens to Bob Dylan
My brutha flyin' through the air col' savin' the day
And when my boy swoops down, he always gets paid
The brutha's rude strength is what the suckas trip on
That's why they run around in the search for krypton
He got a steel chest like Fred Flint got Stone
Changes his clothes while he's talkin' on the phone
Don't be messin' around when he's comin' from the sky
Cuz if you wanna dis a brutha, Supe's the wrong guy
Supa man--yeah my boy is so fly
Supa man--he col' bustin' through the sky
He got a little betty, her name is Lane
She can't keep up with him because he's faster than a plane
She take the whole story, put it in the papes
Got his own page with all the stories he makes
Superman be flyin', evil dudes be dyin'
The suckas be tryin' but always end up cryin'
Villians be lyin' but always end up fryin'
His shoes don't need tyin', hair grease buyin'
If somethin rude happens and he thinks it's wack
He'll fly around the world col' turnin' time back
Because the boy got the hops like a kanga got roo
If you're breakin' the law he gonna swoop on you
Racin' planes, droppin' names, puttin' out flames,
My brutha keepin' it real
Red boot wearin' phone book tearin', grinnin' and bearin'
And now they call the boy Supe
Supa man--yeah my boy is so fly
Supa man--he col' bustin' through the sky

Baddest Brutha
02:51
|
|||
I woke up and 29 people got shot
All the other suckas that was with me got caught
I remembered that I didn't kiss my mom goodbye
And on the way home 14 people had to die
Got back to my house and the breakfast was cookin
I ate it quick and shot my little brother for lookin'
At me funny. He's been with me long enough to know
That a kid get dropped for lookin' at this bro
Because I'm the baddest brutha any of ya ever gonna see
If ya take advice I recommend don't mess with me
If ya thinkin' that I'm mean, it's my daily routine
Cuz I'm the baddest brutha any of ya ever gonna see
I left the house again and I slammed the door
I didn't even pick up my things off of the floor
I gave a little kid and indian burn
And then I busted in a stickball game and I batted out of turn
I walked into your garden and I picked all your roses
I went up to your friends and I smashed 'em in the noses
I pushed an old lady down when I was crossed the lane
Then I found a rabid pitbull and I taught him about pain
Cuz I'm the baddest brutha any of ya ever gonna see
If ya take advice I recommend don't mess with me
If ya thinkin' that I'm mean, it's my daily routine
Cuz I'm the baddest brutha any of ya ever gonna see
I put a tiny hole in some kids' plastic pool
I made a maltov coctail and I threw it at the school
I walked by a manhole and I took off the cover
Stood and watched a dude fall and then I pushed in another
I don't use the safety button when I go to hunt
I don't wait my turn in line, I just cut to the front
When you tell me that I'm ruthless, yo, it doesn't bother me
Cuz I'm the baddest brutha any of ya ever gonna see

Sock Eating Dryer
03:08
|
|||
I took off my socks at the end of the day
My girlie she was with me and she fainted dead away
The smell just took her out much faster than a gat
The stench was fully putrid, the rank was foul phat
I threw 'em in the washer and I started up the cycle
I slammed them in the 'chine col' thinkin I was Michael
When the spinnin' was done and the shakin' had stopped
I fully fished 'em out but the smell still dropped me
I couldn't leave 'em wet, at least I had to try
So I opened up the dryer and I threw 'em in to dry
I shut the door tight I and I started my reprieve
But when I pulled the sucka open I just could not believe
So I took a pair of socks and I threw 'em in the dryer
I'm tellin' you straight up and don't call me a liar
I looked and found one sock but I couldn't find the pair
The other one had disappeared and now it isn't there
I searched up and down so I could find the other
Swearin' and cursin' that stupid thing's mother
I cleaned out the filter, even gave it new wire
But the socks were to be found nowhere in that dryer
Next day I took another pair and dunked 'em like a pro
This time I'd be checkin' every minute or so
I slammed the door hard, then waited a little while
Opened it back up and then I went into denial
What was up, was there a hole in my new machine?
Or was this some plot of some facist regime?
Politics or not, I was fully gettin' pissed
'Cause only one foot gets a sock, the other gets dissed
So I took a pair of socks and I threw 'em in the dryer
I'm tellin' you straight up and don't call me a liar
I looked and found one sock but I couldn't find the pair
The other one had disappeared and now it isn't there
I searched and searched my house, I even searched the car
I looked behind the couch but I don't know where they are
There's got to be a whole big pile of socks somewhere
Chillin' without matches, free without a care

Poop Brown
04:23
|

Poop brown is the color of rhymin' that I do
I'm talkin' smooth and movin' groovy cause I'm thick like poo
Outta town is where you're sendin' UPS with your stuff
And poop brown is the color of their funky old trucks
It's the color of the nose of my nappy headed mutt
Right after he's been sniffin' in some other dog's butt
Brutha brown is the color of my old school cords
And of the wood grain trim of the army green ford
It's the color of the hair on Mo-T's buzzed head
It was the color of the eyes of the guy who's fulla lead
Poop Brown Poop Brown is the color of the dirt
And if you don't believe me sucka then you're gonna get hurt
Poop Brown Poop Brown My Rhyme is Poop Brown
I'm kickin' it down and it's comin' at ya Poop Brown
Poop Brown is the color of the axe that I play
I throw the chord from my board and yo I'll do it all day
Chump sound is what you're hearin' and it's makin you sweat
You're thinkin' that we're through but we haven't started yet
Brutha brown is the color of the feathers of a duck
It's the color of the flaps on the bottom of my truck
When I mix all the paints in my watercolor set
Yo Poop is the color that I'm always gonna get
Brown is the sound of the band that's playin' loud
What I said is in your head and now it's draggin' you around
That's why I'm talkin' to ya and all yer sayin' Yeah
I grab the stage and turn the page and bust it out clear
Poop Brown Poop Brown My Rhyme is Poop Brown
I'm kickin' it down and it's comin' at ya Poop Brown
It's that doo doo brown, recognize the sound
Numbs is back for that crown or the royal
You spoiled like Cleveland leavin' that sittan
Numb without no feelin' Cheyanne land Zartan Chamelian
As I ban to shape or form come back to swarm just like the Hornet Brown
But fat to populate Laie town from then to now
Poor just like a Chocolate Cow swing from right to left
Neverending sole odd vacasie best believed the rule was def
Swinging from right to left when I'm bruising your thought processes
Making it hard for you to digest the top of the list the NUMBS
exceeding the speed of sound when I'm hitting you in the chest with the best
We got you crapping in your pants a poopy brown sort of mess
Get burnt like umber found floating under
The boardwalk with the lumber Mark Dago, Roo, and Gunnar
It's a wonder that these dirty drawers
Run thick like Rick crazy straws for you and yours
Well of course I get by with no problemo though it seems
You just might be that cherry in my chocolate covered dreams
I keep it clean sometimes it's dusty, but I love the rap with an MC
I'll beat you down in round three cuz I'm rad like Jack Dempsy
Trigger and listen 'em in, I hit him with venom and did him in
And again let a man by the bay hit him with rhythm Vitamin on the breaks
I'm the man I'm watching a ball like other rappers into the ocean
Bringing them back like Herbal Shive to a ding, Yo what's the potion?
Why oh why did I need cappocino the brown nose get wrinkled
We ________ on the single
Out with the foundation laid in place by the taste of Numbs House
Public Enemy number one you better believe you'll never find
You shoulda known now Numbs 89 state of mind
Curb hoppin' don't stop, let's take it from the top

We're Not A Ska Band
02:22
|

We're not a ska band
We're not a ska band
We're not a ska band
And this is not a ska song
Well let us introduce ourselves, our name is CHUMP
There's one reason why we came here and that's to make you jump
Jump to the sound to the sound of the beat
Because our lyrics and your face are col' gonna meet
We're playin wild the style, the funky way we play
Our style isn't ska because we all have got to say
That ska music is a-ight, you know, but it just ain't our thing
So McPhie and me will follow Vitamin D
JG he's got an axe to grind he's doin' mighty fine
He'll get the flowers to your house and he'll be there right on time
Brutha D, he's drawin' pictures and he's speakin' foriegn tongues
Cause our friend, he's got the groovy like a garden got dung
We're not a ska band
We're not a ska band
We're not a ska band
And this is not a ska song
We play the rappin' music but we just don't have the ego
People watch me on the stage can't believe it when we go
BOOM we break it down and we ram it in your head
We'll pick you up and put you down and put you in your bed
We play the funky rappin' music that makes you have to dance
We're lookin' like we're rappers 'cause we got the gangsta stance
Gas shirt wearin' never swearin' on the stage and chicks are starin'
'Cause we got the moves like Samantha got Darrin
We tried to play the offbeat rhythm but our conscience wouldn't let us
If you're thinkin' that we're suckas then we know you've never met us
When Rupey's shootin' hoops it's just like money in the bank
The kid knows how to hoop it but he don't know how to skank
That's why

Original Man
03:40
|
|||
I was thinkin' I was dope, you know I thought I was groovin'.
When I hit the dance club, I thought I was movin'.
I was checkin' out the ladies and I spyed a lrig,
Thinkin' I could go and get her 'cause my hair was big.
So I boogied over to her and I tried to make her mine,
Reached into my grab bag and pulled out my favorite line.
I asked her if she'd dance with me to which she said "No.
I'm waitin' for the man to come who has the big AFRO."
He's the Original MAN
I gave up on the chicks and I went out to my vehicle,
I Drove down to the fairground to watch the monster truck pull.
I was rootin' for my favorite truck the one they call Grave Digger.
Suddenly there came another truck that was much bigger.
It started smashin' all the cars and trucks in the whole arena.
I thought Bigfoot was bad but this car was meana.
"Who could be the driver?" I asked myself, when
The doors came open and I saw the man again.
He's the Original MAN
I wanted to be like him, so I tried to let my hair grow.
I wasn't gonna cut it 'til I had the big AFRO.
I didn't even touch it for 30 months or so.
I skipped eleven barber shop appointments in a row.
I thought that I had beat him, but I really didn't know.
When suddenly behind me I heard someone say "hello"
I turned around to see him and screamed the word "NO!"
It was Original Man and I had fourteen feet to go.
I asked him what his name was, he said my name is Jer.
I said, "Yo, man, you got the flyest head of hair."
I said, "where are you from?" He said, "I'm from Africa."
"I don't know where that is, I got an D in geographica.
All I know, my man," I said, "is that you can dance.
When you get to movin', kid, it's like you're in a transe.
I'd like to move like that, but I don't think that I can."
That's because you're not the Original Man.
He's the Original Man

Rupey's got the riffin' like a tractor got pull
And Mo-T has got the rhyimin' just like a hick has got bull
JG has got the angst like the Hulkster got a bald spot
And we all got the groovy like our honeys got hot
Daph-ne got the pig tails like the Dukes got the rebel
Chump got cash like leaning tower got level
Our crowd has got the jumpin' like Max Head got room
We put the rhythm in the boom BOOM Yeah Cuz we're all about that
Comin' atcha with the hooks and the lyrics much phat
Vita D got the quickness like speedy got arriba
And we all got the juice like Bill Nai got amoeba
Brotha Rupey got the hair like a diet got fat
JG's axe has got the crunch just like the mob has got gat
Mo got the Carter like Tyson got punch
Daph-ne got the honey like hut got lunch
The music got bumpin' like Ruby got Vroom

I Don't Know, Ya Know?
03:41
|

I don't know where they get it maybe it's inherent
The minute they get born the honies say it to their parents
Growin' up they go to school to fill their heads with learnin'
But the language that they're using keeps homies heads a turnin'
My girlie sat me down said we gotta have a chat
I knew just what was comin' but there was no turnin' back
She started to talk but then just shook her head
I waited for more, the words I knew I'd dread
I waited for more, but the only thing she said was just
I don't know, ya know? -- That's what she's sayin' to me
I don't know, ya know? -- It haunts me everywhere I go
I don't know, ya know? -- The words I can't believe
I don't know, ya know? -- My jaw just hit the floor
I don't know, ya know? -- I turned but couldn't leave
I don't know, ya know? -- Huh?
I left the conversation not one word wiser
I couldn't understand her, nor could I advise her
I thought and thought about it but it did me no good
My stomach was a growlin so I went to get food
At the Hut I saw my homie he was grubbin' it up
I cruised over and set next to him and gave him a "sup?"
He said, "You left us to chat with your lrig the other day"
"I heard you had a talkin', kid, what did she say?"
I heard she sat you down, bro, what did she say?" I said,
I don't know, ya know? -- That's what she's sayin' to me
I don't know, ya know? -- It haunts me everywhere I go
I don't know, ya know? -- The words I can't believe
I don't know, ya know? -- My jaw just hit the floor
I don't know, ya know? -- I turned but couldn't leave
I don't know, ya know? -- Huh?
So I go up to the counter to order my meal
The dude at the counter tries to offer me a deal
He said what do you want and I tried to tell him what
But the words just weren't a comin', I couldn't cough 'em up
The only thing I could think of were those five stupid words
I repeated and repeated them but he just wouldn't learn
He just kept starin' so I looked him in the eye
It's like I don't know you know I said, now get it or you'll die
Now I can't seem to think of anything to say
I'm tryin' and I'm tryin' but this curse won't go away
I hear 'em in my head they're with me everywhere I go
It seems as if there are only five words that I know
Everytime I talk, the only words that flow are just
I don't know, ya know? -- That's what she's sayin' to me
I don't know, ya know? -- It haunts me everywhere I go
I don't know, ya know? -- The words I can't believe
I don't know, ya know? -- My jaw just hit the floor
I don't know, ya know? -- I turned but couldn't leave
I don't know, ya know? -- Huh?
