Rap Genius Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Listen close to the musical member of Mensa
School of Hard Knocks got Tenure
My lectures advance, the Einstein of my time
Stephen Hawking, when I'm chalking my rhymes

E equals MC Squared, Yeah that's true but this MC here
You can't box in

I.Q of Socrates's, Lyrical Doctrine
Philosophies, Methodically written within the conscious
Beautiful mind, R.Crow, Nas Flow, not him, Nostradamus
Some say I'm dreaming, so pinch me
I am Da vinci, over 186,000 miles of quick speed on this beat
Let me enlighten you

Kissinger of Literature, NASA of Rappers
Over your head, Shooting Star out of your reach
Supernova Instead
- Hip Hop's Willy Shakes slash Billy Gates
They just Microsoft – small thing to a giant
Possessed by the ghost of Steve Jobs, See iRap
Something like Beethoven, Fur Elise with these bars
A great poet, Langston Hughes, I've paid my dues
Murs could speak, to voucher

Omega Alpha, End of the beginning
Julius Caesar, Nucleus Ether

[Verse 2]
Molecules, phenomenal, combined with the logical thoughts
So astronomical, gotta record on satellites
No LSAT required, but I pulled a 180
No turning back, I learned from past errors
It's all mathematical -- Let me break it down
Divide and Conquer, Underground so I guess I subtract
A.D.D multiplied equals one fact
My intricate, rhymes patterns are infinite
Indicative of scholars, but primitive artist limit is dollars
Makes no sense, in comparison they are no threat
My intel processes faster then your PC's
Musical 3-D,Out of this world you can call me E.T
I Spielberg,
When I spill words, I still observe
MC's on MP3's, Telescope Flow
I'm better then ever those
Rappers that bloggers forever pose
But never ever will blow
Except in the offices

They are all soft as shit, from babies orifices
But ya'll down get it
In a different time zone, with my poems
Light bulb over head call it Edison
Ya'll sick I got the medicine
And I'm a motherfucken Veteran

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
