| He had a dream it would rise up and elevate
|
| Pictured a day that we all got to celebrate
|
| And by creating a term, he was spawning a movement of rappers who waited their
|
| turn
|
| To speak about being outcasts and coding and things
|
| Rather than controlling a lane
|
| The flow was insane
|
| My homies assumed it wasn’t real
|
| Then they were blown away by the brothers skill
|
| This wasn’t parody
|
| And every word was emoted with an astounding level on clarity
|
| And then the documentary-
|
| It wasn’t all complimentary
|
| I felt a kindred kinda energy
|
| So Colorful and lovable
|
| Made our own skin feel so comfortable
|
| Nerdcore rose up, and that’s wonderful
|
| We all owe it to the MC who Fronts the most
|
| I want it all.
|
| Put my name up on the wall in the hall of fame
|
| But the time I’m done here
|
| The whole world gone know the name
|
| Rushmore…
|
| Put me up on Rushmore…
|
| Till I’m up on Rushmore
|
| With the ones who changed the game
|
| A chance meeting with an animator
|
| Would turn a mild mannered comic to a major player
|
| Yeah, Quick witted with a distinctive voice |
| Now the networks have made him their choice
|
| A recurring character on a hit show
|
| No more struggle now it’s time to get dough
|
| Took on the road, to sold out shows
|
| Fanbase grows, highs then lows
|
| He read a negative tweet
|
| Kicked the kid out the club instead of letting it be
|
| This could’ve killed his career
|
| But thanks to dedicated audiences he still here
|
| Respect Deserves a lot more than he gets
|
| He brought a certain former teacher on tour when he quit
|
| For the talent and overcoming the challenge, mc, you hall of fame, first ballot
|
| No doubt about it
|
| I want it all.
|
| Put my name up on the wall in the hall of fame

|
| Stanford grad with a gift of gab
|
| Bred in Punk rock but decided to hit the lab
|
| And spit some raps-- about literature classics
|
| With commercial appeal When it hit it was massive
|
| A bundle of energy on or off stage
|
| And it isn’t an act, he’s on one all day |
| Complex with mad flows and concepts
|
| Nerd rap was making some progress
|
| We even rocked a world tour
|
| 50 dates, but I’m unsure which one of us learned more
|
| Picked up my freestyle bit
|
| But everybody does it, who could call a freestyle bit
|
| True Player for real, no doubt he got hits
|
| And it wouldn’t surprise me a bit if he got rich
|
| Post punk laptop to lit hop it’s hip hop
|
| Unquestionably He earned his spot
|
| I want it all.
