Let's see what you got

It's like that, is it?

Facts

I'm a kind of psychonautic analyst boy

Eating lightly salted hyperbolic paraboloids

Playing with my hundred thousand Sonic character toys

And now I'm screaming how a diatomic can't be alloys

'Cause they're metals, but I can gas the scene

And add reams to the fact rapper magazine

So let me open the lid, pour some history in

And then scan this beat like a facts machine

Did you know

That knowing that you don't know anything's a Socratic Paradox?

How do I know? Because I wonder a lot

Like a nomadic pair of socks

So let me hop in my time machine and come back with

Mortimer, Ogilvie and Jumpman

From the past and I'll ask them

If you never changed your names

Do you think that you'd all still be classics?

Did you know

Poe wrote The Raven

But I think he should have thought further

'Cause crows are known for the grudges they hold

And I hear that a group of 'em really can murder

Nursery rhymes aren't sugar nor spice

They're a perjury by Mother Goose with her lies

And if you ever wanna ring around the rosie

You might be singing 'bout the plague that has cursed you to die

Motherese is a language only babies speak

Play my music for your fetus after eighteen weeks

Cut the lower frequencies so the bass don't peak

Mauna Kea is our tallest mountain, measured base to peak

A coffee bean is a seed, you buffoon!

Peanuts aren't peas nor nuts, but legumes

And it's true that tomatoes are actually fruits

And potatoes have more chromosomes than a human

The Last Supper came when the bread broke

But Judas wasn't pleased, 'cause he wanted more dough

Then he gained a couple pounds turning friend to a foe

He was thirsty for blood and, in the end, choked

But the first supper served up a question that goes:

Did the chicken or the egg come first? Or did both?

Well, the chicken's ancestors laid many an egg yolk

With a hundred ways to cook it, just check a chef's toque

French toast is another one that's up for debate

Does it come from the country or a cook's last name?

Either way, it's capitalized unlike french fries

'Cause they're titled by the cut, not the person or the place

If you're blue in the face, that's methemoglobinemia

Not anemia, that's when hemoglobin's leaving ya

Need to stop the bleeding? Then you better clean the lesion

And to keep that heart beating, eat some premium magnesium!

America is not a democracy

Yeah, that came out awkwardly..

The pure definition sounds good in commonspeak

But here's what would happen if it's implemented properly:

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep

Taking a vote on which one to eat

The majority rules, and sure, that's fine

But it never will protect the minority's rights

The sheep can't show all the wolves his side

'Cause that lamb's getting chopped by the end of the night

And the founders knew this would be the demise

Of a brand new country trying to survive

So instead of being kings ruling high in a tower

They armed citizens with that power

Kept the individual's rights, and they dubbed it

A constitutionally representative republic

And the public's creations are tagged with

A ten-year trademark or twenty-year patent

And don't try to copy a copyright

Until seventy years after the author dies

Then it's fair to use in the public domain

But it's just not the same as the public airwaves

They are static in nature and can't be changed

So the FCC said "get out the way!"

Any broadcast station can license the space

As long as they read through our rules and obey

Like making their kind of programs resonate

With the people whose airwaves they pay to vibrate

So dial into my station and blast that

Check the stats with BMI or ASCAP

It's a fact the eternal fire in Iraq

Can't hold a candle to the fire of my raps! (uh!)

And that flame turns white when it's hotter

Frankenstein's the doctor, not the monster

Some of these facts seem quite cliché

But even broken clocks are right twice a day

Time flies when you wish it would freeze

And it seems to slow down when you try to add speed

I'll have graduated high school and gotten two degrees

Between Kingdom Hearts 3's announcement and release

(Fact!)
