about

This song is about being a rapper. There is a certain bravado that is expected from an emcee. If you don't think you're the best rapper there is then you'd better damn well think you're the best rapper you know.

lyrics

If emcee’n is believing, than surely you’d be leaving
Some sort of clues for us nerds to be retrieving
You’re lost in the wind, mere dust in a gust
Unimpressive waste from a far greater thrust
You’re barely a fizzle out, let alone a blast
You don’t have the sails to cover this mast
And that’s hopeless, its why we lost focus
Those aren’t darts, those don’t even poke us
What you call going in is barely a brainstorm
Yeah I know it aint norm, but clearly I contain form
So form an opinion, I’ll attach it to my thick skin
Nod politely and then flash ya girl a quick grin
I’m brazenly humble and cautiously cocky
I’m nice and smooth and raucously rocky
Step lightly you're looking unsightly
You think I'm an asshole, then I just might be

Me and my crew got our own darn handshakes
We like the bass so the whole darn house quakes
House parties. Drinks on the strong side
Or instrumentals, big beats and a long ride
Y’all cool cats know the syntax
Hella mega, beyond gone on sick trax
I’m weirdly wired word and really raw
I’m barely tired nerd and eerily jaw
Nerves get struck, these words get rapped
Reserves get struck, these birds get tapped
Feather plucker, I feed the chickens beef
These fowl fed cows be causing me grief
They’re very delicate once on the grill
The high heat is not so kind to the kill
Charred egos get handled with care
No beef about it, we claw at and tear
