Especially our guests uh, Elzhi of Slum Village
Don't be afraid, you can clap
Uh, Mr. James Poyser, was here as well
Uh I'd like to thank DJ Jazzy Jeff for popping by
I'd like to thank you at home of course
And I'd like to give a special shoutout to my baby momma Tameka
And our twin daughters, Faith and Abstinence
Man hahaha, I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna cry
Goodnight everybody, goodnight!
It's time to say goodbye to all of our friends
Our time is up and now the good times must end
We hope we made you laugh and chuckle or grin
And hopefully, one day soon, we can do it again
We'd like to welcome you to everything there is to know
