I wrote this in an inspired burst after playing with my Steele Wizard Tarot (by Pamela Steele). Just had to share a little tarot humor with ya’ll.
(Sing this to the tune of Sir Mix-A-Lot’s “Baby Got Back”)
Baby Got Deck (The Steele Wizard Rap)
I like big decks and I cannot lie
You other brothas can’t deny
When you get a deck with itty bitty print
You gotta pull it to yo’ face – You got SQUINT.
Wanna pull a card close cuz you can’t see dat WORD, NOPE.
A big ole deck I’m shufflin’
I’m crunked and I can’t stop stuffin’
Oh baby, I wanna get yo’ deck yeah
And play wid it – heck yeah!
My homegirls tried to warn me
But that deck you made gets me so corny
Ooh, silky smooth gloss
You say you wanna shuffle like a tarot Boss
Well use it, use it
Cuz it ain’t no average deck, choose it
I seen her Arcana
To hell I just wanna
Shuffle it. Shit.
Got it goin’ like a Hierophant.
I’m tired o’ those little decks
Sayin small ones are the thing
Take the average taroist and ask him that
She gotta pack much deck.
So fellas (YEAH), fella’s (YEAH)
So tell ‘em to shuffle (SHUFFLE)
Shuffle (SHUFFLE)
Shuffle dat big deck.
Baby got deck.
I like ‘em square and big
An’ when I’m working a tarot gig
I jus’ can’t help myself
I’m acting like a tarot fan
Big ole deck in my itty bitty hands
I wanna get that deck home an’ UH
Shuffle up, uh uh
I ain’t talking about Rummy
Cause card games are fo dummies
I wan’t ‘em real, real, real
So fin dat Pamela Steele
Decks Alot fo real
Beggin’ for an Arcana to feel.
So I’m lookin’ at deck reviews
Watchin’ those tarotists
Talkin’ like terrorists
You can have them views
I’ll keep my deck like Steele Wizard
And gonna shuffle dat deck HARD
A word to that tarot sistas
I wanna get wit ya
I won’t cuss or diss ya
But I gotta be straight
When I say I wanna
Shuffle til the break o’ dawn,
Better get your Steele Wizard ON,
A lot o’ tarot freaks won’t like dis song
Cause them punks like to hit it an’ quit it
And I’d rather stay and play,
Cause my hands are small but strong
I can shuffle all night long
So ladies (YEAH) ladies (YEAH)
Then grab your deck, stick it out
Even nearsighted we gotta shout
Baby got deck!
Baby got deck!
Yeah baby.
When it comes to divination
Aecletic ain’t got nuthing to do with my decision
5 and a half by 3 and a half
Extra cards in da back.
So yo girlfriend has a Waite
Or a Thoth for to comtemplate
But Crowley ain’t got a make it so complicated
My hands kinda wanna
The Steele Wizard, I’m fonda
You can shuffle up and down
Do a bridge but please don’t benda
Some readers wanna play that hard role
And tell ya that they are in the know
So they toss that deck and let it go
But I grab it and say hell no
So publishers say dat deck is fat
Well I ain’t down wit dat.
Cause that deck is big and da print is phat
I can easily read that.
To the little decks with the too fine art
You ain’t the only cards.
Gimme that Wizard, can’t resist it
Minors and Majors didn’t miss ha
Some knucklehead try to diss
Cuz little cards on his list
He had tarot game but chose to hit it
And I pull that Steele Wizard and flip it
So ladies if yo’ deck is huge
And you can barely shuffle ‘em – shoot
Call Pamela Steele
And kick that wimpy shuffling fo real
Baby got deck
Baby got deck
🙂
