You Picked a Fine Time

Hit 'em with the highs, hit 'em with the lows
You picked a fine time
Up and down, man any way it goes
You picked a fine time
Hit 'em with the highs, hit 'em with the lows
You picked a fine time
Up and down, man any way it goes

[Verse 1]
You picked a fine time to leave me here
Celebutantes parading while America's reclining on an easy chair
Try to take it breezy fair and balanced
But the fox is in the henhouse while she's laying out her evening wear
Feel the heat in here, the pressing need to clear the air
I want to bleed the freedom that you need each week to be prepared
I've only got one pin left that's an easy spare
Knock you out the seventh frame and beat you 'til you're speech impaired
Sound out the words, it's slow but it's sure
It may not be a lot, but you can know that it's yours
Keep it under lock and key and hope that it's secure
???? that's the flower and the fleur
Pollinate, spread the fire and watch it populate
My desire is measured at a thousand times my body weight
I want to have it all, but I don't want to wait
Let's just hope that the next thing out my mouth is sorta something great

[Hook]
Hold up, hold on
They spark a feeling so strong
They told me life's ill, but it still goes on
Know what I know so I fear no one, no one
Hold up, hold on
They spark a feeling so strong
They told me life's ill, but it still goes on
Know what I know so I fear no one, no one

[Verse 2]
You picked a fine time to retire
Dragon's out to pasture but this one of them can breathe fire
I'm Julius Irv my legend was conceived in the seventies
Take this serious business and inject my piece of levity
Peace of mind is plotted on the latitude where heaven be
My attitude a recipe a mix of drive and jealousy (that's right)
That's the loaded answer when you question me
I'm breaking out the caged bird's song and about to set it free
Drinks on dude to the left of me with big pockets
Gotta get it cracking or shaking whatever kids call it
I'm big balling free-falling what has he started?
Heard your latest record the manufacturer recalled it
It was defective due to total lack of perspective
Plus it wouldn't power up because your fans were disconnected
I hope that you ain't spinning yet cause we in a recession
And the party people knocking on your door to start collecting

[Hook]
