| I’m not afraid to grab the paintbrush when I see one
|
| If I had to guesstimate I’d say my brain must weigh three tons
|
| If your life sucks I’d suggest you demand a full refund
|
| Or speak to the store manager
|
| Modern yogis overdosed on zen pellets
|
| I’ve got spam filters for emails from Ben Jealous
|
| While you’re in the club surrounded by those ten jerks
|
| I’m hijacking public broadcasting networks
|
| Like V for Vendetta
|
| But I’m no hairy wizard Alan Moore
|
| I’m occupying the massage chair in the Discovery Channel store
|
| I have ample while these damn fools demand more
|
| Half man, half borg, tasked to rap more
|
| Faster, better, and blacker
|
| Who acts as your pastor
|
| Benevolent master
|
| My mind’s walls are a yellowing plaster
|
| And I close my eyes to make them crack faster
|
| (Yeah)
|
| The 24-bit eggplant will be analyzed
|
| The dream I had yesterday and today:
|
| The dense forest turns into a shopping district
|
| The happy and mundane world will vent their anger
|
| This is not my beautiful house
|
| This is not my beautiful wife
|
| How did I get here?
|
| If I knew ahead of time when Rob would die
|
| I don’t think that I could tell him
|
| And I might be a highlander
|
| I might be an immortal
|
| Because I haven’t died
|
| And I’m paranoid that I’m an android with synthetic memories
|
| What if these aren’t my beliefs?
|
| What if these aren’t my beliefs?
|
| I sat under the ceiling fan
|
| And pondered the eternal
|
| And then the infinite
|
| And I thought of Chris McCandless trying to live in it
|
| And I thought of people who get tattoos to prove that they too can last forever
|
| Like these two imperfect hands could ever be capable of a grasp of the better
|
| Like sticks of Imperial margarine
|
| I built a mud hut on the margins
|
| And then I marched in
|
| With a whole code of ethics typed in Martian
|
| On tattered parchment
|
| Before departure on a battered starship
|
| I used Harry Potter’s wand as a conductor’s baton when I choreographed the
|
| huddled mass of rapthink’s groupthink
|
| Ask about it
|
| If I wrote the greatest rap song
|
| I wouldn’t let you hear it
|
| I wouldn’t let you hear it
|
| I wouldn’t let you hear it
|
| If I wrote the greatest rap song
|
| I wouldn’t let you hear it
|
| I wouldn’t let you hear it
|
| I wouldn’t let you hear it
|
| If I wrote the greatest rap song
|
| I wouldn’t let you hear it
|
| If I wrote the greatest rap song
|
| I wouldn’t let you hear it
|
| If this was the greatest rap song
|
| You wouldn’t have heard it (what)
|
| You wouldn’t have heard it (what)
|
| You wouldn’t have heard it (what) |
