Yeah I said it, nerdcore died
Blogged it online and they all asked why
Now Iâm the bad guy cause all I did was try
To start a dialogue on just what went awry
Stop whining! Youâve got to learn the basics
Your album was a train wreck, I know itâs hard to face it
Basically, you debased the scene
Chased a little dream and you called me mean
When all I did was call the genreâs time of death
Gave props to some rappers that I thought were the best
But you didnât make the list â you felt dissed!
Wrote some simple rhymes that you said I dismissed
TO 8-bit beat iambic stagnation
All about your Xbox and your PlayStation⊠feeling it, Iâm not
Your CD wasnât hot, I guess you had your shot
[RANDOM]
I know a lot of rappers or people who claim
To be deep in the game but they secretly lame
And when I hear they records I start laughinâ it up
And I wanna tell âem, âPlease stop rappin â you suck!â
But I donât â cause who am I to crush a dream?
Because I love hip-hop, I got love for the scene
But the fact is that many artists rarely try they hardest
So they donât spend the dough to make productions clean
I rapped on beats that were game-related
To my surprise, half of the game related
The other half all became angry haters
Who were mad at Mega Ran cause they ainât create it
We all had an NES and hummed all the tunes
But good music ainât usually done in your room
So do your thing dawgs, but donât get sore
Cause I donât hang around your forum much any more
Cause I donât have time for a message board beef
Iâd rather play games or listen to the beats
Or make good music that folks wanna listen to
Donât get it mixed up, Random ainât dissin you
Not that Iâm too big to hang out and get witâchu
Represent yourself in a manner thatâs offic-ial
Think of who you listen to, imitate, then innovate
Come original, then I get at you
[Chorus]
Is nerdcore dope? Is nerdcore whack?
Is nerdcore fiction? Is nerdcore fact? (You tell me)
Is nerdcore amateur? Is nerdcore pro?
Should nerdcore stay or should nerdcore go? (You tell me)
Is nerdcore real? Is nerdcore fake?
Is nerdcore love or does nerdcore hate? (Tell me)
Does nerdcore matter? Is nerdcore improvin?
Is nerdcore winnin? Is nerdcore losin? (You tell me)
[LARS]
I got love for the kids with the laptops
Up in the lab making crunk-core rap rock
Writing the rhymes âcause theyâre straight flowinâ non-stop
Putting inames to the styles in a headlock
I got love for the kids with their labels
Making those beats with two Technic turntables
Flippin the script like a dope Aesop fable
Killin the tracks just like Cain he slayed Abel
Look â all I want to see is amazing art
Invest your heart and play your part
Perfect your craft and straight do you
If you donât do you then whoâs going to?
Just push it, push it, make it awesome
Build those concepts get it poppin
Thereâs no stoppinâ you when your voice
Makes the world go âWhat?â like your name was James Joyce
[RANDOM]
I made the same choice, back when I was young
Tried to make beats on my PS1
Made a pact to keep it true and BS none
Wrote raps on the stoop, look how far weâve come
Success is a journey, not a destination
So thank God I was blessed with patience
I never been down with this type cash nonsense
If Iâm conscience, what are your unconscious?
I showed you how to plot a career
How to astonish your peers and then brought in some gears
So take that backpack nerd rap label off Random
And slap it on a bottle of beer, you hear?
Itâs impossible to categorize me
Canât say that anything thatâs happened surprise me
They still ainât figurinâ it out, sittinâ in the house
Clickinâ on they mouse, just bickering about nerdcore
[REPEAT Chorus]
