Hip hop is art Don't make another pop hit, be smart Take it back to the start Like KRS and Rakim use passion and heart
Don't get me wrong, I ain't dissing Dizzee Rascal I'm just using his beat as a single example It was the first big hit of its kind in the pop charts Spawned a lot of shit with profit in mind, not heart
Channel U's full of UK sound and ringtone, think they should all have p45s to bring home Prancing about like they're the next big thing cos their cousins got an 8 track and their mate Daryll can sing
These kids getting above their stations and saying, there a vessel through which a higher power's conveying "My lyrical content is a miracle, godsent" My name is Scroobius Pip and I say fuck all that nonsense
Their lyrical prognosis is like spiritual osmosis in that everything they say evaporates into boasts, it's a joke I've listened and I can't even find one quote which is worth using as a reference or even as a footnote
Yeah, most of these kids could get their guns out and kill me, but how many have the skill to inspire and thrill me? I've got a holster I keep biscuits in it, it works into your brain leaving big fat blisters in it.
Who am I better than, I'm better than I used to be, I'm gonna keep on getting better so you better just get used to me
If you think that's a cop out then hear my point truthfully 'cause chances are this is how you should be
If you aim is to be as good as Scroobius Pip, once you finally achieved it then your standards will slip
But if your goal is only to improve on yourself then the quest is never over no matter how big your wealth.
