[Intro: Prof]
King Gampo

[Hook: Mtv Riff Raff]
And I pull up at the Stophouse
And I pull up at the Stophouse
Pull up, pull up, Stop, Stophouse
It's a blimp, oh-seven blimp

[Verse 1: Prof]
Lookin' at my swag you'da thought I was a psycho
This lunar gold makes my chain float nice, though
Your ugly friend lookin' like she needs lipo
If I was younger I'd fuck your whole high school

[Refrain 1: Prof]
Mr. P (Mr. P)
Mr. R (Mr. R)
Mr. O (O), F, steal a car
Mr. P (Mr. P)
Mr. R (Mr. R)
Mr. O (O), F, steal a car

[Verse 2: Prof and Mtv Riff Raff]
The whole crib covered in mirrors
This way it's easy to find the rapper of the year-er
That dude he be like, "Oh there I am, again
With a couple a golden girls, and their younger friends"
Everybody know that my style is impeccable
Prof is a retard, almost a vegetable
I'm floatin' in my blimp, and I'm staring in the mirror
Diamonds, crystal clear, man, man

[Hook: Mtv Riff Raff and Prof]
It's a blimp, oh-seven blimp
I'ma just pull up, ice, iceberg tint (berg tint)
It's, it's a blimp, oh-seven blimp
It's a James Bond blimp
(Say skrrt)

And I pull up at the Stophouse (Say skrrt)
And I pull up at the Stophouse (Say skrrt)
Pull up, pull up, Stop, Stophouse
It's a blimp, oh-seven blimp

[Verse 3: Prof and Mtv Riff Raff]
Wake up all covered in women
Money all over the floor, I hear a fat lady singin'
Got the Benji's, they wit me, all of the hookers they bouncin'
Just updated all of my food stamps, flippin' and countin'
Infested lower intestine
Had a Smith & Wesson, but I traded for a Lexus
Now I'm deep sea diving and I'm deep sea flexin'
Pen pal'n 'em peace chain with a medallion
Maybe Clark Kent, I'ma pull up iceberg tint
Uuhhhhh, that's a nice Benz
How'd you get the inside all peppermint?
Everybody in the parking lot all come together

[Refrain 2: Prof and Mtv Riff Raff]
And we do the Daffy Duck, (duck) Lean and reclining
And we do the Daffy Duck, (duck) Lean and reclining
And we do the Daffy Duck, (duck) Lean and reclining
Lean and reclining, lean, lean and reclining

I'm floatin' in my blimp and I'm starin' in the mirror
Diamonds crystal clear, man, man

[Hook: Prof and Mtv Riff Raff]
It's a blimp, oh-seven blimp
I'ma just pull up, ice, iceberg tint (berg tint)
It's, it's a blimp, oh-seven blimp
It's a James Bond blimp
(Say skrrt)

And I pull up at the Stophouse (Say skrrt)
And I pull up at the Stophouse (Say skrrt)
Pull up, pull up, Stop, Stophouse
It's a blimp, oh-seven blimp

[Verse 4: Prof and Mtv Riff Raff]
T Shine
Two gallon margarita, in the two seater with a caramel señorita
She's pregnant, don't trip, Gucci baby between the hip
Thirty days of a good idea watching Shark Week
Rolling in the sea breeze, slimy in the carp seat
Money in the high beams, tuna in the back seat
Dennis Rodman driving, man

Aye, Grap that statue, Trade it for a Lexus
All my Gucci bullets, Trade it for a Lexus
I done and took my passport
Trade it for a Lexus, trade it for a Lexus, trade it, trade it for a Lexus

My Mother-Fuckin' Moustache, Trade it for a Lexus
All my Gucci bullets, Trade it for a Lexus
I done a took my passport
Trade it for a Lexus, trade it for a Lexus, trade it, trade it for a Lexus

[Refrain: Prof and Mtv Riff Raff]
'Scuse me, can I make a little announcement?
First I make my shoulder lean, then I keep it bouncin'

And we do the Daffy Duck, (duck) Lean and reclining
And we do the Daffy Duck, (duck) Lean and reclining
Everybody do the Daffy Duck, (duck) Lean and reclining
Lean and reclining, lean, lean and reclining

I'm floatin' in my blimp and I'm starin' in the mirror
Diamonds crystal clear, man, man

[Hook: Prof and Mtv Riff Raff]
It's a blimp, oh-seven blimp
I'ma just pull up, ice, iceberg tint (berg tint)
It's, it's a blimp, oh-seven blimp
It's a James Bond blimp
(Say skrrt)

And I pull up at the Stophouse (Say skrrt)
And I pull up at the Stophouse (Say skrrt)
Pull up, pull up, Stop, Stophouse
It's a blimp, oh-seven blimp

For Prof, the worlds of fact and fiction are often intertwined, as he balances on a fine line between real-life experiences and yet unfulfilled fantasies. The Minneapolis rapper has made a robust career for himself by crafting memorable songs about everything from heartache to arson to wild adventures with women. These terrific tales and his dynamic stage show have led to concerts and tours across the country, and have exposed him to life-altering experiences. They also planted a seed.

An accomplished and open-minded artist, Prof first started playing with a concept in one of his rhyme books years ago. As the idea germinated, the Minnesota artist decided to apply it to his life and his neighborhood while tapping into his vast imagination and his remarkable life. The result is Prof’s new album on Rhymesayers Entertainment, Powderhorn Suites, a wide-ranging artistic tour de force that places him among rap’s most gifted auteurs. “There’s so many different things happening in a hotel at one time,” Prof explains. “Somebody’s doing drugs. Somebody’s having sex. There’s a fight over there. Someone’s trying to get some rest over here. There’s just so much going on in one place.”

The same can be said for Powderhorn Suites, a remarkable rollercoaster of a project that hits stunning highs and features dramatic lows. “Squad Goals” rollicks along with a festive beat and a nod to the “U Name It” challenge, while the liberating “Outside Baby” celebrates women who are vocal during sex. With the tense “Numbers,” Prof, Muja Messiah and Taylor J detail the struggles that come with trying to make ends meet. Then on “Fire Lessons,” Prof draws from the real-life anger and emotion he felt after a tense night in which he was chased by police and hit rock bottom. The album concludes with a stunningly powerful group of songs in which Prof analyzes the lasting effects of a dysfunctional upbringing (“Flower Boy”), ends a relationship with his soulmate (“The Ending”), and gives himself a moment to be proud of his accomplishments (“Karma Legend”).
