Jason Mraz - Curbside Prophet Lyrics

Complimentary "Curbside Prophet" Ringtone

I’m just a curbside prophet
with my hand in my pocket 
and i’m waiting for my rocket to come 
I’m just a curbside prophet 
with my hand in my pocket 
and i’m waiting for my rocket ya'll

y’see it started way back in nyc
when i stole my first rhyme from the M.I.C. 
at a west end avenue at 63 
it's the beginning of a leap year, february, ’96 
with a guitar picked up in the mix 
i committed to the licks like a nickel back of tricks 
well look at me now 
look at me now 
look at me now, now, now, now 

i'm just a curbside prophet 
with my hand in my pocket 
and i'm waiting for my rocket to come 
i'm just a curbside prophet 
with my hand in my pocket 
and i'm waiting for my rocket ya'll

well then you’re never gonna guess 
where i’ve been been been 
and i have no regrets 
that i bet my whole checking account 
because it all amounts to nothing up in the end
well you can only count that on the road again
we’ll soon be on my radio dial 
and i been payin close attention to the Willie Nelson style 
like a, a band of gypsies on the highway while
cuz i’m one man pushin’ on the california skyline drive 
up the coast I brag and i bost 
because I’m pickin up my pace and makin time like space ghost 
raising a toast to the highway patrol and to most 
but my cruise control's on coast 
cause im touring around the nation
on extended vacation
see i got Elsa the dog who exceeds my limitation 
i say, i like your style, crazy pound pup! 
you need a ride?
well come on, girl, hop in the truck! 

With just a curbside prophet 
with my hand in my pocket 
and i'm waiting for my rocket to come 
I'm just a curbside prophet 
with my hand in my pocket 
and i'm waiting for my rocket ya'll
I'm just a curbside prophet 
with my hand in my pocket 
and i'm waiting for my rocket to come on 
I'm just a curbside prophet 
with my hand in my pocket 
and i'm waiting for my rocket ya'll

see i'm a down home brother, redneck undercover 
with my guitar here 
i'm ready to play 
and i'm a sucker for a Philly 
got a natural ability
geared the freestyle 
look at my flexibility 
dangerous at the mike 
my ghetto hat's cocked right 
the ladies say, yo, that kid is crazy 
we got the backstage betties taking more than they can get 
they say, what's up with M-R-A-Z? 

hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
something's different in my world today 
well they changed my traffic sign to a brighter yellow 
hey, hey, something's different in my world today 
well they changed my traffic sign to a brighter yellow 
i'm just a curbside prophet love
a curbside brother love
a curbside brother love 
a curbside ohh 
come on
I'm just a curbside prohet
and I'm waiting for my rocket
said I'm waiting for my rocket to come now cuz I'm cubsided brother
your a curbside brother and I'm waiting for my rocket said I'm waiting for my rocket. . .
