Everything That Glitters (ain't always gold)

I want to be remembered for the songs that I sing,
not only for the humor but for the knowledge I bring.
To broadny horizons above, this is why I rap is. 
Enlightening minds with mine. They work with tactics.
In life, everything ain't always what it seems,
but people are enchanted by the things that glimms.
You know, bright fancy cars, big yachts and mansions, all the beaches
all the ?? where the girl want romance in!
Now I'm about to tell you a very interesting fable. More fun than when
you first got cable!
Important to be learned from this story to be told, is that everything
that glitters ain't always gold!

On July the eleventh I was sittin' at home, talkin' to my girlfriend
Gina on the telephone.
Flippin' through the newspaper checkin' the news, when I saw an
advertising for a Caribbean cruise.
It said sunny skies and romantic nights, on an incredible ship, and I
got hyped!
It said it's like a loveboat; baskin' in the sun, promising fun for
you and for everyone!
I said: That's dope. Baby you down?
She said: Yeah, we could leave right now!
The very next day I put the check in the mail, and one week later we 
were ready to sail!
The brochure said that the boat was large but it was nothing but a   
brownout ??  ?? , and if it wasn't for my girlfriend I wouldn't have
went, because the captain was a cross-eyed hunchback with a limp!
The cruise was paid for, and the food was free, so I said: "What the 
hell" and sat out to sea.
It didn't take long to notice somethin' was wrong. The ship was a
mess, and we were the only ones on it.
I didn't wanna panic so I chilled for a while, till the captain pulled
up on what we thought was a deserted isle.
We looked into the beach, and almost went berserk,
we saw 300 natives with spears and grass skirts!
They said ...
I said: 
-   Hey baby, I guess that means "Get of the boat".
The chief said they needed a human sacrifice.
I said:
-   Well, just take my girl.....Psyche!   
I was joking, but things got serious, the leader came out, and he was furious!
He got in my face and his breath was the worst!
I said: Hey baby, you got some mints in your purse?
?? ?? with milky brown teeth, and two big dusty, ashy, hairy feet.
The worst thing, he had no toenails on his toes, and a big ??
?? on his nose!
I tried to reason with him. He wasn't with it.
He said ..... , that meant forget it.
He said ..... ..... , that meant "Tonight we're havin' Fresh-Prince-Stew."
Then I saw it, no it's not, the big Indiana Jones people-cookin'-pot.
I wanted to fight him, but there was no way to beat him. I thought to
myself  "Where's Tarzan when you need him?".
Just as they were plottin' on cookin' us up we had a major stroke of luck; a
navy ship pulled up.
The troops came up and they got us out of the pot and I said to the
chief: "Yo I get with ya, hops!"
The guy who rescued us said I hate to tell you, but the captain of the
ship, he had just escaped from Bellevue.
We've been followin' him and finally we caught him. 
- I'm sorry, is there a way that you could possibly get a refund?
A thousand dollars and a weekend down the drain, but a lesson we all
learned, so let me explain.
There's a very important message that needs to be told. It's that
everything that glitters ain't always gold!
