Yeah I said it, nerdcore died Blogged it online and they all asked why Now I'm the bad guy cause all I did was try To start a dialogue on just what went awry Stop whining! You've got to learn the basics Your album was a train wreck, I know it's 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 genre's time of death Gave props to some rappers that I thought were the best But you didn't make the list - 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, I'm not Your Cd wasn't hot, I guess you had your shot
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 laughin' it up And I wanna tell 'em, "Please stop rappin - you suck!" But I don't - 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 don't 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 ain't create it We all had an Nes and hummed all the tunes But good music ain't usually done in your room So do your thing dawgs, but don't get sore Cause I don't hang around your forum much any more Cause I don't have time for a message board beef I'd rather play games or listen to the beats Or make good music that folks wanna listen to Don't get it mixed up, Random ain't dissin you Not that I'm too big to hang out and get wit'chu Represent yourself in a manner that's offic-ial Think of who you listen to, imitate, then innovate Come original, then I get at you
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)
I got love for the kids with the laptops Up in the lab making crunk-core rap rock Writing the rhymes 'cause they're straight flowin' 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 - all I want to see is amazing art Invest your heart and play your part Perfect your craft and straight do you If you don't do you then who's going to? Just push it, push it, make it awesome Build those concepts get it poppin There's no stoppin' you when your voice Makes the world go "What?" like your name was James Joyce
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 we've 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 I'm 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? It's impossible to categorize me Can't say that anything that's happened surprise me They still ain't figurin' it out, sittin' in the house Clickin' on they mouse, just bickering about nerdcore
