Richee from Switchee - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

So, this is how it goes

Everybody wants a part in my flows

Everybody wants a place saved for them in the front rows

If I ever played a show, you’d be stepping on toes

You listened, you tried it

They caught you, you denied it

You won’t even listen to my records

Cuz they take the friends around you and then turn them into hecklers

Your parents, they’d wreck us if they could only check us

But I’m stashed under your old cassette tape decks

Yo Richee from Switchee is never gonna make a record

Richee from Switchee is done played you all

Richee from Switchee just kept you waiting

Don’t hold your breath cuz he won’t ever call

My reputation is awfully

Ruined from SF to NYC

But these kids treat me majestically

They eat up my tracks—they look up to me

So you want to be just like your hero Richee

Your band’s name is ten times better than Switchee

You finished your track on some drum beat machine

You sampled your toys and your Gameboy supreme

Send your shit to Bit Shifter and Jimmy Urine

You’ve hung out with Rob and Kevin from Tub Ring

And now you’re frustrated cuz you can’t sing?

Well neither could I and it hasn’t stopped me

Am I overcooked?

Am I too well-done?

Not even LA could make me into someone

Am I full of shit?

Is it time to quit?

God, if I was black

Maybe this track would be a hit

Yo Richee from Switchee is never gonna make a record

Richee from Switchee is done played you all

Richee from Switchee just kept you waiting

Don’t hold your breath cuz he won’t ever call

Richee from Switchee is never gonna make a record

Richee from Switchee is done played you all
