| «Underground intelligent hip hop development
|
| Progression is our intent, ladies and gentlemen»
|
| They say possession is nine tenths
|
| Well we possess mind vents
|
| To filter the rhymes sent
|
| From deep down inside
|
| Hence the precision and timing
|
| Essential to rhyming
|
| If you wish to pierce the cerebral lining
|
| You see image is nothing
|
| Imagination is everything
|
| Is there anything you wear that’s more important than what you think?
|
| I think not… as I bump Aesop
|
| Cruise to Herbie Hancock and fuckin' rock out with Snot
|
| You wanna look for me?
|
| I’ll be in charity shops
|
| I ain’t buyin' my shirts
|
| I’m buyin' my damn pants and socks
|
| Bitch-what?
|
| This shit’s inside of me
|
| I ain’t riding the beat
|
| It’s the beat that is riding me
|
| I ain’t an alcoholic
|
| I just drink a lot
|
| And maybe I’m a genius
|
| Or maybe I just think a lot
|
| My intellect in retrospect compared to some…
|
| «Ay yo Pip you know that second verse was all straight garbage?»
|
| What you talkin' 'bout man it’s not that bad… it was alright
|
| «I know what I’m talkin' 'bout. |
| Give these fuckers something new!»
|
| What am I supposed to do? |
| What???
|
| «Come on man»
|
| Alright man, how about this?
|
| I remember hearing Mos Def rhyme the alphabet
|
| I just sat there in silence
|
| As a sign of respect
|
| I knew what I had to do
|
| And that’s what happened next
|
| I rhymed the periodic table to stay one step ahead
|
| See in the periodic table hydrogen is number one
|
| 'Cause hydrogen is what puts the shine in the sun
|
| Through nuclear fusion and when it’s done
|
| It leaves element number two
|
| Helium… helium is the second lightest gas that there is
|
| So we use it in balloons we give to little kids
|
| Then there’s lithium often used to treat mental problems
|
| Beryllium don’t conduct electric currents, it stops them
|
| Boron can be used to make things harden
|
| And that smoke that’s coming out of your exhaust, carbon
|
| Carbon is arguably the most important element
|
| And nitrogen in the air is almost eighty percent
|
| The rest of the air is mainly oxygen
|
| And fluorine is the lightest of the halogens
|
| OK that’s enough teaching
|
| I ain’t trying to bore ya
|
| I’m just trying to be a positive role model for ya
|
| 'Cause in my town I’m blessed with many role models
|
| So many that sometimes the mind just boggles
|
| See KRS is my teacher
|
| Slick Rick’s my ruler
|
| Chuck D’s my preach'
|
| I’m just a preschooler
|
| I’ve still got growing to do though
|
| I ain’t trying to fool ya
|
| But compared to all the other kids in my class
|
| I’m much taller
|
| I’m much taller |
