This is just another underground rapper nerd
A lamb amongst the Aesop Rock and Tyler The Creator herd
Spittin' words that end with -iple and -ical
Lyric principle critically rammed with heavy vehicle
So many men in this cut throat industry
The men who need their throats cut are the ones aren't into me
Too busy jerkin' the dicks of young bands without a single clue of what it takes to write a paragon of living virtue
Fuck the idea of what we call airplay
They'll never help us or our friends' bands anyway
A certain industry be full of sharks in a sea of shallow taste and I'm supposed to play their games while wading through the toxic waste
Hey! You! Motherfucker, I can swim
and I don't care how deep in this shit I'm in
I'm gonna show you and all your bloodsucker friends that there's more to life than being a smug fucker in the end
Don't talk to me like I don't already know
Don't talk to me like I don't already know
that I need to play a show in every city befo'
I make cash so I can play in these cities some mo'
I'm so stupid, I must have left my brain at the do'
Sitting there with facial hair, surfing web on wireless
Acting like your brain is worth the man inventing fire first
Sipping on espresso from some second-rate machinery
Don't get mad at me, I'm just enjoying all the scenery
Collecting all your change in a cold silver ramekin
Impervious to blame like a Big W mannequin
Love to wax the walls with your slack discontinuity
yet you lack the balls to put your name on your review
It seems to me you're reaching for a goal amongst so-called journalists
hoping blindly that you'll navigate the crazy turns and twists
You think by now you writers wiki'd history so you know it ain't the dough that makes the record, it's the record that makes the dough
It's frustrating, 'cause all you people be having hating oozing out of your nipples and calling it groundbreaking journalism
This is a schism with me one side and everyone else on the other
We all conform to the diapason set by the king, my brother
What the hell am I complaining for? I guess I'm leaving this
excuse for an industry anyway, I don't believe in this
No more shows or records for the public
Yes you killed it
It ain't even worth trying to help you fucks rebuild it
Yeah you killed it
GUESS ALL THAT YOU'RE GONNA DO NOW LIKE I AIN'T SPEAKING THE TRUTH
BUT YOU KNOW IT
DON'T DENY IT
GUESS WHAT YOU'RE ALL GONNA DO NOW 'CAUSE I'M SPEAKING THE TRUTH
AND YOU KNOW IT
STAND BY IT
