Lyrics
Dear George
This may seem a little premature
But let me inform
and reassure you what I'm here for
See, there's three or four MCs I simply adore
and I can't really afford
for them to be ignored
They rap with purpose
Challenge your belief and more
than scratch the surface
Grand Wizard Theodore
You see, I hear you perform
and then I feel all tingly and warm
like these things are seeing porn
Therefore, I thought it'd be mint if we recorded
So if you want to do this thing
Give me a call, it's another pale kid
Sitting in his bedsit
Spinning syllables in a ball
It's a head trip
I want to give props
Though I'm not often a dick sucker
And it isn't often that I kiss butts
Yes, but it isn't often that I hear lyrics bringing
this stuff, so let me pucker my lips up
and give love
Your subtle lisp just gives a certain crispness
to your presence
Like red ribbon at Christmas
You lyrically bring a vision
Images and pictures
To widen the line of our sight like strabismus
Listeners reminisce for the time rap was a little
bit deeper than just the meniscus
You must have missed
or dismissed this missive
that insists on simplistic lyrics to get hits
'Cos our business is a harsh mistress
when MCs receive more spins than a discus
But the chips don't stack quick
I'm left listless
So I might just get down with the thickness
But hold on, there's another way
Watch, see?
You can be a geek like me, Watsky
or any other bugger keeping it real
with stuff for people to feel
regardless of if it leads to a deal
The secret to really having fun for yourself
is to differentiate between money and wealth
I spent years trying to be somebody else
And then I realised it wasn't good for my health
Rap's in need of a bit of positivity
So maybe a love letter is a good place to start
'Cos I love letters, ha
Hey George, isn't rap fun?
It's like weaving a tapestry of language
I love it!
Why don't more people do this?
Imagine if the great musicians, playwrights, poets of the past had this technology
at their disposal
What would they do with it?
