| Comin' straight outta stockholm, a fun boy named Lars
|
| Survived loma prieta, mad cow, and SARS
|
| I hit you with these flows like your name was Nancy Kerrigan
|
| Here and back and there again, a typical American
|
| Third generation Swedish, second gen. |
| Aussie
|
| Am I street enough for this? |
| Sometimes im paranoid like Ozzy
|
| See it used to be punk rock for about four years
|
| I played lead guitar, we dissed Britney Spears
|
| Amphoteric the name, Central Cali band
|
| Local shows, t-shirts, EPs, no plan
|
| Just chilling with the crew slamming power chords
|
| They wanted more guitars but I got bored
|
| I was born to rock heads and fill them too
|
| But did the world really need another Blink 182?
|
| Stuck on this Earth like glue since 1982
|
| Cooked up my own post-modern salmagundi stew
|
| Straight outta Stockholm, laptop rap
|
| American iconoclast, alien boom-bap
|
| Cali’s my home, baby, West Coast boy
|
| I get more love than Helen of Troy
|
| Straight outta Stockholm, laptop rap
|
| American iconoclast, alien boom-bap
|
| I make rap fun, friendly, fresh and new
|
| MC Lars in the place, yeah boy, I thought you knew!
|
| DJ: «But were you actually born in Stockholm Lars?»
|
| Lars: «No, but my family on my Mom’s side is Swedish-American.»
|
| DJ: «Uuh…okay.»
|
| Comin' straight outta prep school, on the mike at assembly
|
| Class clown, straight A’s, running KSPB
|
| Pebble Beach, sheltered high school, like a nun on Mars
|
| The Horris was Dr. Quin, heavyweights gave me Lars
|
| «So how do you spell it? |
| Yo, what’s the web-site?»
|
| Is it really that hard? |
| Morris with an H alright?
|
| And okay yo today see Im still experimenting
|
| Venting and presenting never misrepresenting
|
| And its not quite rap, not quite pop
|
| Alien hip-hop Lars punk rock
|
| If I make the big time i’ll still sit up in my room
|
| My brain on the keyboard and i’ll try to resume
|
| Such a great story that i’ll always behold
|
| I’ll look back on this when i’m 80 years old
|
| London, New York, UK tour, NY demo
|
| Tickled as can be, when I tickle you like Elmo
|
| So much to say, new sounds to try
|
| Laptop, costumes, local buzz, and why?
|
| Don’t ask me, buddy, but you’re bumpin' me now!
|
| Amalgam for the future revolution like Mao
|
| You’re right when I grab the mike, I do what I like
|
| I sit with a pen by the full moon light
|
| Euphonic epiphany like Keat’s lyre trope
|
| I am it, iambic’s rap’s last hope
|
| My Grandma says I have rhyme talent, and I love her
|
| I flow lethal, Weapon? |
| Lyrical like Danny Glover
|
| I flip your paradigm manhole cover
|
| Mutant reptiles, surprised what you discover
|
| But I still like Bob Dylan more than any MC
|
| Most depress me, like Hepatitis B
|
| Reverse them like Pi when they step to me
|
| Nine five one four one point three
|
| Straight outta Stockholm, laptop rap
|
| American iconoclast, alien boom-bap
|
| Cali’s my home, baby, West Coast boy
|
| I get more love than Helen of Troy
|
| Straight outta Stockholm, laptop rap
|
| American iconoclast, alien boom-bap
|
| I make rap fun, friendly, fresh and new
