"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
|
