True Facts

Did you know that in the world
There are nearly half a million facts?
But the average person only knows about a quarter of them
So, like some sort of gay conversion therapist DJ
I’m going to try set the record straight
Ladies and gentledudes (Hi)
May you consent, approve and let me choose
A few selected truths
With which to lecture you and set to music
I was sent to do this by Skull and Pat
A couple of lovely chaps who produce some other nerdy rap
Fact: Michael Jackson wasn’t actually black
He was Latvian and just happened to look like that
Fact: The planet isn’t flat or round, it’s a rugby ball
In feet and inches Peter Dinklage is bloody tall
Vikings never wore helmets with horns
They never even wore pants or trousers at all
They came from Asia, invaded Scandinavia
Where they introduced the craze of ladies having labia
You probably may have been taught the periodic table
It was made by a carpenter from periodic maple
Plus there’s periodic place mats and periodic cutlery
Arranged by periodic maids and periodic butlers
Each chemical element is the size of a pelican
That’s so tiny that it defies any measurement
Fact: The oldest skeleton that’s ever been discovered
Was a hundred and eleven, someone left it in a cupboard
Fact: No John Lennon song’s ever been covered
They were lost in the wash and have never been recovered
He was in a heavy metal band called The Beatles
Then he met Paul McCartney and formed The Eagles
Their biggest ever hit was Hotel Rwanda
A motown anthem about smoking ganja
Fact: A goat’s antlers are made out of bone cancer
«Hello, ho» is the phrase you’d say when the phone answered
I’m so proud of everything I get right
There’s no doubt 'cause I read it on a website
There are five directions: North, south, left, right (yeah)
And I’m only as good at rapping as the next guy (hah)
You need to move back (why?)
'Cause these are true facts
I’ve never found it too taxing to remove a screw cap (hah)

Rest in peace to Big Narstie and 2Pac
Both killed in a hit and run, a different one
By the same bullet fired out of this specific gun
There isn’t such a thing as an effective vaccination
You’ll definitely go deaf from excessive masturbation (fact)
The human foreskin can be stretched enough to be a sleeping bag
Keeping tabs on eating habits guarantees a decent shag (ah)
This track’s a live performance, but there’s some streaming lag
Poland stole and revolved the pole that holds the Indonesian flag
Youtubers who do pranks are humorous and need thanks
The reason being there’s huge demand for even deeper cheeky bants
It’s ethical and legal, there’s nothing they leave to chance
I’m not rapping this track while wearing geeky pants
Each grand piano has just a hundred keys
Eighty eight above and then another dozen underneath
It plays a special scale that only the deaf can tell
And the letters of the notes are engraved and etched in braille
Gucci and Chanel used to be free 'cause they wouldn’t sell
People used to have to fetch their internet from a well
A wooden bucket full of someone else’s e-mail
Encrypted hieroglyphically to hide the detail
Fact: The Egyptians were the first to use emojis (fact)
Filthy Frank plays a new character, this dude Joji (fact)

We can psychically detect what a twat Mike Pence is
Harvey Weinstein never acts licentious
It’s just another actress trying to gaslight friendships (what)
Hey, there’s no such thing as fake news, it’s all true
It’s against the law to misinform, I assure you
The core use of a Tide pod’s for food
Disagree?
No need to call me, I’ll call you (uh)

'Cause these are true facts
A screwdriver to the ear will remove the loose wax (chllp)

No hispanic person’s ever take afternoon naps (hola)
You need to move back (why?)
'Cause these are true facts
A sort of faded shade of puce is the new black (oh)
You need to move back (why?)
'Cause these are true facts
Don’t bother trying to improve, it doesn’t do jack
And that’s the truth (the truth)
You know it’s the truth (the truth)
