From the Book Stacks Lyrics by Melvil Dewey

Papercuts

2013

[Chorus]
I'm from the book stacks, from the, from the book stacks
I'm from the book stacks, from the, from the book stacks
I'm from the book stacks, from the, from the book stacks
Come visit me and check out books like that
I'm from the book stacks, from the, from the book stacks
I'm from the book stacks, from the, from the book stacks
I'm from the book stacks, from the, from the book stacks
Come visit me and check out books like that
[Verse]
I'm not from the streets, I'm from the book stacks
I get a book to read and make the pages flippy flap
Flippy flap, flippy flap, just like that
All I do is read books, make beats, and rap
I work at the library
Chestnut Street, NHC
Come visit me, Mr. Melvil Dewey
I got books from here to infinity
I represent Team Libraries Worldwide
Not gonna stop 'til the day I die
And when I do, I'mma come back to life
And rep up so more, yeah, that's right
'Cause you can't stop this, Melvil Dewey represents
Libraries, like Santa Claus does Christmas
So put your hands up and say "what-what"
And show the libraries some love
[Chorus]
I'm from the book stacks, from the, from the book stacks
I'm from the book stacks, from the, from the book stacks
I'm from the book stacks, from the, from the book stacks
Come visit me and check out books like that
I'm from the book stacks, from the, from the book stacks
I'm from the book stacks, from the, from the book stacks
I'm from the book stacks, from the, from the book stacks
Come visit me and check out books like that
