about

Bit of a love song we've got on our hands here folks...

©2012 Pinwheel Music

lyrics

I’m not here to build a brand.
I don’t rap to tell you bout how I killed a man.
I’m not in this for fame and riches,
or to get laid by bitches.
Don’t get me wrong, those things great & terrific
but not, why I’m doing this music, not for award shows,
or skinny-jeaned, so-called swagged-out wardrobes.
More Facebook friends? Not my motivation,
nor is facetime on video stations.
My face not in the papers? Guess what? I’ll live.
Fake beefs? I’ll take peace branch...olive.
I’m not enmeshed with this for guest list privileges.
Don’t sweat it if I’m not on top 10 lists of hits.
So why rap then, if not for those reasons you dropped?
I do this for a love of words, full stop.

Words, man they’re practically beautiful
and beautifully practical,
whether they’re descriptive adjectives
or verbs of action it’s irrelevant,
all elegant in the right scenario.
I’m in love with words and want the world to know.
Words, man they’re beautifully practical
and practically beautiful,
whether street slang
or dictionary suitable, regardless,
they all have a part of my heart this
love for words is why I’m a word artist.

Strip away the bullshit and what is rap really,
but rhyming words over beats, so logically
to be a good rapper then you gotta know words,
an emcee without words not really an emcee, word?
I don’t go to clubs unless I’m working in ‘em,
I read books, play Boggle, do crosswords when I’m shittin’.
Plus my pun game’s elevated, I rap puns well,
get it? Don’t really care, this not for dumbbells,
