(intro)
This goes out to a very special type of person--the Stupid Rapper. I think it's courageous that you attempt to rap with such a limited vocabulary. For those of you fixin-to-spit, all hype and no hip, dressed sharp with dull wits:
This here's a treat to sample like an MPC
Any beat that I will march to starts through me
And builds awareness, whatever happens I'm lucid
Thus I won't spit stupid
(v1 - Ned)
I rev my mental engine with irreverence
For silly supercilious irrelevance
Without the shame that goes with being cocky
They claim that poppycock is piping hot because it's poppy
So many myopic rap stars
I guess the dime a dozen doesnt see that far
I´m rapping for the love---what do you love?---every bit of it
Regret even a minute, its illegitimate
I´m passionate, an advocate for music happening
Not passive when the mic is in my hand I must tap into
Aesthetics. Yes, they're bright as we deserve
Observe pathetically cosmetic and synthetic stuff deferred
Such rap is whack and weak as Kaplans class
Simply slanging tips and tricks like subprime morgages
My norm is conscious and conscientious
Cuz I can't let my form and content be contentious
(c)
RAPPERS SPITTIN STUPID
SING THAT SAME-OL' LIKE THEY LOOPED IT
RAPPERS SPITTIN' STUPID
SINGIN THAT SAME OLD TUNE
RAPPERS SPITTIN STUPID
SING THAT SAME-OL' LIKE THEY LOOPED IT (it's insipid)
RAPPERS SPITTIN STUPID
SING THAT SAME OLD TUNE
(v2 - TED)
Such a gamut of tools for spittin a flow
I'm like OO! Only fools front that 'ol same show
Repetition that's expressing express impressions
Needs to articulate articulate inflection
Like ronin (samurai) roaming hills of Japan
My sick linguistics serve woman and man
That's no idle boast; my supply meets demand
My title toasts recitals of the lessons we plan
---An MC---with the savvy broadcast in your town
What I know is apropos to throw down
If its ponderous, as a Jetta or Ford
You can ponder it as metaphor...
When we speak to shove or simply show love
We embody language actually made of
A substance that we know can change minds
Like yours if its open and hears me more than rhyme
(c)
RAPPERS SPITTIN STUPID
SING THAT SAME-OL' LIKE THEY LOOPED IT
RAPPERS SPITTIN STUPID
SING THAT SAME OLD TUNE
RAPPERS SPITTIN STUPID
SING THAT SAME-OL' LIKE THEY LOOPED IT it's jejune
RAPPERS SPITTIN STUPID
SING THAT SAME OLD TUNE
(brdg)
Rappers act as if the fact that they can rap staccato
Justifies bravado that they'll cash in like the lotto
Ned, our rule of thumb?---Everything we rap must be legato
Our rhymin prose will keep your mind on toes and that's our motto
(v3)
I will persist in this until my face is blue
I've got to; they twist what we enlist to reach you
While modern ad campaigns bombard us with junk
We aim to build your power to debunk
Commercial methods hookin us with just a pitch
We're like meth heads who need to get their fix
Of the purchase propaganda pop picks
Is it worth it? For lackluster lyrics?
Such a system is a detriment to minds
Our brains are always hungry for knowledge to define
Every morning is a moment to imbibe
Anything can fit inside this cornucopia of vibes
Cuz the data that I ratify and let enter
My mental production center
Means I've always gotta chance to make amends
And point my means away from evanescent ends
(c - final)
Oh so STUPID (sophomoric)
Rappers singin that singin that oh
RAPPERS SPITTING STUPID
It's getting old and old and old (it's vapid)
RAPPERS SPITTING STUPID
SING THAT SAME OLD TUNE
(outro)
This here's a treat to sample like an MPC
Any beat that I will march to starts through me
And builds awareness, whatever happens I'm lucid
Thus I won't spit stupid
