Kung Fu lyrics

Once about a time there was a kid
who didn t have a bicycle or a car that skid
Only thing he had was Pat and Turner
He didn t know the future but the lesson to learn-ah
way to get started in the music biz
Just listen to the story as I tell it like it is
I was a youngster from East Junior High School
who thought somebody with Adidas sweat-shirt was cool
It symbolized somethin, but I don t know
I wanted to be down really really bad so
I asked one of my best friends Derek Mangareu
"C mon man can I be down can I be down witcha crew?"
He had one by the name of Masters of Control
I wanted to be down, so I could play the role
He said, "No you re not good enough we have ours Mark"
I went home and sat in the room with no lights in the dark
And this is gonna be a rough rendezvous
and that s why I sing this song to you

I m a lonely soldier.. yeah..
many miles from home..
with a heart that s heavy..
and with.. a will that s strong

I got a little older, three years to be exact
when a crew named Midnight Express gave me a crack
It consist of one MC and two DJ s
And the way Kevin D cut had me amazed
It was like I just joined the Lakers
or even Rock Steady or the New York City Breakers
I was in 11th grade, at ?? High
They was sayin they was sayin hey what s wrong with this guy
because all he do, is bang on tables and mumble
and doin music with his mouth like a band ensemble
or the human beatbox wasn t thought about
and the teachers they thought I was crazy without a doubt
I guess they didn t understand what I was comin from
Since I was into MC n, they thought I was dumb
Then there was a teacher by the name of Ms. K Parke
Since I was good at rememberin numbers she said I was smart
But that don t got nothin to do with this rendezvous
and THAT S why I sing this song to you!

I m a lonely soldier.. yeah..
many miles from home..
with a heart that s heavy..
and with.. a will that s strong

I was a walkin son of a gun before the day I begun
I ma tell you how it started, from day one
Well me, I lived in >??<, they lived in C.I.
I was ambitious and devoted til the day I d die
I used to get on Fair Islip, take the S-42
Get off at Bunanan Street, and go to the house of the crew
I would walk from C.I., to Bay Shore
just to see if I really had the rhymes galore
I d go to house parties here, go to house parties there
Walk the ?? ?? pants off my derriere
Like if I was David Carridine who played "Kung Fu"
who would walk from China to Japan without a shoe
Hummin beats, sayin rhymes, kept me goin
from givin up or bein crazy, or just stop flowin
My teachers and parents said, I should just stop
Just go to army go to college get a job witcha POPS?!
I can t take no more of this rendezvous
and that s why I sing this song to you!

I m a lonely soldier.. yeah..
many miles from home..
with a heart that s heavy..
and with.. a will that s strong

I m a lonely soldier..
many miles from home..
with a heart that s heavy..
and with.. a will that s strong
