Blue Iguana - Kurtis Blow

livin in a world

of hate and corruption

nobody wins

you just die of consumption

of a government

they have no sentiment

for you or for your kind

cause its a state of mind

in a tropical paradise

you roll the dice and gamble

(blue iguana)

sell your soul and scramble

in a sauna

play it cool like a blue iguana

(blue iguana)

(blue iguana)

now that i got this point across

don’t nobody get cocky

and think they’re the boss

the boss is the president

and you’re a resident

playin' the part of a slickster

it takes a thief

and you’re a trickster

i spy private eye

(blue iguana)

you’re the guy

who gets the money in the end

only the irs will win

(blue iguana)

(blue iguana)

break… break-break-break…

break… break-break-break…

capitalism describes

the history of a nation

the first law of nature

is self-preservation

(blue iguana)

survival of the fittest

i mean, i ain’t with this

the money ain’t worth it

so yo, man, forget this

(spanish)

(blue iguana)

(blue igua… blue igua… blue igua… blue igua… blue iguana…)
