Nobody needs to be a fan of mine Pantomime styles in decline where Formaldehyde lies in disguise Since the paradigm became paralyzed Rappers rhyme basic as alkaline How can I dumb it down half the time And fasten my seatbelt after I spit like a Mastermind sweeter than Caroline It upsets me just a bit The rap game’s Wayne Gretzky in a pit Low-hanging fruit sells for list price Before you think twice – apoplexy is legit But the deadliest of sins is thinking that The heaviest will win, I’m hell-bent on this I don’t give a damn who’s honest But I’ll make a telltale promise That I’m gonna spare some honors Just let me coexist I’m underground now – wonder if I drown How will I puff about When my stomach’s in a shroud And if nobody’s coming down to Salvage me in the sound Think I’ll plummet south sunk and proud Don’t need the comfort I already put myself asunder Operation Rolling Thunder On a glutted crowd Dumb it down, make the drumming beat Go up and down while I’m Giving y’all the runaround in Funky Town So how will you measure my accomplishments If not for this: prominence, dominance Scholars list, omnipresence, God exists, dollars Hit big at the box office I’m not a myth, I’m a Sith – Promise kept Even if I do sound ominous I do not have time for this I might even just smile at this And it’s starting to go south Cause I don’t give a damn now You can find me on the prowl As I dwell in the underground And I’m starting to feel proud And I’m starting to feel proud Cause I don’t give a damn now And I’m starting to feel proud Heads up - when’s the last time you heard of Carmen Electra, that czars should be dressed up Our songs are the best, but When’s the last time you heard Guitars and cadenzas afar from agendas The bars were complex and the armor was flesh Now the stars wouldn’t ever give an arm and a leg For the starve for attention – all they ever do is Say “uh-huh” and project like the dogma is dead, son It’s hypocrisy – just dot the T’s and cross the I's A Monopoly with properties to localize A democracy with lots to see but close your eyes An anomaly like watch the screen for Dolemite Extra apostrophe on lottery shopping sprees Not to please but to hang ‘em high and drain ‘em dry The monotony has gotten to me You’ll be pulverized and burned alive So know your rights Woe, this is poetry in motion, yo Pinocchio – hold your nose ‘fore you comatose Slow your roll if you’re cold in the snowy globe, Ho-Ho no Lo and behold the remote controller for overdose Is overloaded and broken so you know The truth is unspoken – but my dojo is onus Open slowly to chapter four of my Solo proponents and mojo components Hocus-pocus a bonus while I yo-yo to focus Show the domes of the posers to po-po who notice The growing erosion of hip-hop unfolding Put the codeine in protein to proceed exploding Now there’s no treatment solely For low-seasoned homies So just try being phony if only if only Now is this the bass that you like You’re all tasteless alike You say it’s dope, then change your mind You don’t give me hope to take a mic and Row row row my boat to save a life It’s so-so, so I will praise my rhymes I was alone practicing in my basement at night Where were you – cruising down the avenue About to get a rad tattoo With Ratatouille after school And after dad allowed you to When you said it was palpable The message it amounted to was Dad couldn’t get mad at you, it’s sad but true I’m asking you as fallible To sound the truth as factual And blast this new galactic tune Exactly as it sounds to you What happens if it cascades to A platform that I haven’t used That outcome would be half the battle Then they’ll have to walk in my shoes Before they go to flight school Spit a haiku, slip on ice cubes Can’t be like you Swimming in the bayou Right beside you – but I’m dry, fool You’re my disciple I’m killing ‘em at high noon I’m a typhoon and a tycoon On a roller coaster The winds of change just might mean That I’m blowing over A hopeless soldier with an Open storybook I wrote on Next time I hear basic bars Coming from a nasal maw And I can’t escape the song I’m gonna just take the loss and Try to engage with all of the Vertebrae it costs instead of Hating all of the Formulaic wrongs and fighting Way too long to just Put JC on ‘cause he’s amazing I’m gonna inflame the odds And raise my arms up in the stadium And it’s starting to go south Cause I don’t give a damn now You can find me on the prowl As I dwell in the underground And I’m starting to feel proud And I’m starting to feel proud Cause I don’t give a damn now And I’m starting to feel proud Ay ay ay what you know about me Ay ay ay what you know about me King – and I say it proudly This for all of those who doubt me
