Yup, and I heard it before

Said the failed rap writer, the blog cosigner

The new staff higher with the best new opinion

You emailed a lot but you never could get in

Hm, maybe you should ring J. Kim

Spittin' to get PR, it snubs you again

All you gotta do is keep rapping

Said the older dude who ain't got a lot happening

Easy advice when you're sitting outside of the air quotes game

Ergo, there's your lane

Listen to my nine go bang

First forty eight A twenty four frames of the audio, visual

Radio really could play some more Dilla though

I ain't gon' tippy toe

All things legally and otherwise stated

It's not a slave deal but it's on a plantation

Maybe I should ring J. Kim

Shout out to Random, Kweli and Print

NoCan and Castle, 'Geti and Prem

And Castro, Zilla, Zone

The real little world Small Pro

Payton and Sean Daley

Lewis Dorley for the win

Play you that recording like dailies

Fingers up, jazz clap for me, baby

They gotta follow us and it sucks for them

We make a mess and we clean it up again

It ain't ever gonna be like it was

They gotta follow us and it sucks for them

We make a mess and we clean it up again

It ain't ever gonna be like it--


[Open Mike Eagle]

It used to be a sock hop in the spot

Shout out to Aesop Rock, Rob Sonic and the man Big Wiz

DJ pretty frolic with his

I once seen him suplex an ice machine

I make it bubble like rice and beans, for side orders

The other ground rappers been marathon craning

We lie for five quarters

They're falling behind and making crosses, a calling for time

It looks similar, all I see is pinky rings held perpendicular

When they fall, shit's looking immaculate

Cause PR folks make it look like an accident

The label says organic keep reading though

The majors ain't afraid to pay for GMO's

Cat burglar black hat with stealth moves

They even making money off the health food
