act 1: origins
Alright, let's do this again, but from the top this time
We're starting over with The Rest Stop Rollers, and doing it right this time
We had a vision but it didn't ever properly form into a singular idea
But now the revision will be delivered for your motherfucking listening pleasure
Through the rain, sleet, snow or any inclement weather
Cuz even Mother Nature can't stop this force of nature
I think is time for us to finally put this story to paper
The rest stop was fated to be
The only road you could see
If you only rode it like trees
Had grown it while groaning
The stones that you throwin'
Ain't rest stop rollin' like we
Trippin' down memory lane
Let me paint a little picture and re-center the frame
Before breaking and entering ever mentioned my name
It was all about the lettering to better our game
Two names
Tucson
Pond minnows hoping
We were hot as a room with the windows open
Bleeding bongs
Cheech and Chong
Singing songs and locking lyrics down to free our thoughts
We were rushing our words
We needed to say less
Russian-like words
We're sleeper agents
Pages on pages to make up a playlist
And we'd lay 'em down loud and we wake up the neighbors
Never did settle while meddling phrases
I was praying for the medals on the level that Kang is
Tryna better myself to try to trade him places
But I never would have guessed
The rest stop was fated to be
The only road you could see
If you only rode it like trees
Had grown it while groaning
The stones that you throwin'
Ain't rest stop rollin' like we
Many eons ago a star was born
And it's gravity formed a little warm, blue pile of rocks
And from that pile sprung life
In the grand scheme it happened almost overnight
What a fucking miracle, right?
Through the process of a billion years of evolution
We find ourselves in the era of the present human
From the Dawn of our existence we've been groovin'
To the rhythm of even the most basic of music
So it was merely a matter of time before we arrived
We were driving on the highway and decided to pull to the side
Pulled out a bag of tobacco and rolled some cigarettes
Little did we know this was the start of something bigger
Yes
This is the tale of the Small Town Boys
Who cast away their old personas to pursue the path of rap performance
And so without further ado
I present Act two of The Legend of the Rest Stop Rollers
