lyrics

Stopped with the six, now you're sure I got swag
Steppin' on the stage, you heard it's a P-thang
See man, I'm broadcasting like C-SPAN
Bench-pressing beats just like my name was He-Man
Master of the Groovebox
Kick, Snare, Hammer, Nail
Pullin'em out my toolbox
Lead singles tellin' ya who you can't stop
Who rocks?
The Poe with a system shock
Lean back deep like I kept the ring finger
Haven't seen your momma but I can't wait to meet her
Earth-shakin' beats with our bodies easy
breakin' new ground like a baby teething
Bodies grinding behind the lines I'm singing
White boy voice and the stank I bring'em
Got no choice but to up and tell'em
about that funk so thick it stank up to the heavens

I'm a hip-hop, synth-pop, alt-rock, can't stop, won't stop, will not, 'til I drop
Superstar

Yo, no guitarist goes harder than a poet pushing play
He steps back, looks up, says hey man this seems easy
Well, of course it's easy, doncha see it's me, G?
Like Midas I touch and tweak
turning knobs into beats
So, step if you please, into the forest like trees,
Where I'm rockin' and rollin' autumn stop'n'golden from green
as if my beats are firm and my lines are ripe
And I'm'a cut a few rhymes for the house tonight

The show is gold so don't disrespect it
Lines from all sides just like you're dyslexic
Hectic-what's that? Oh, shit-He wrecked it
puzzled-up muscle tongue twist then flexing
the kinda rhyme you shoulda tried
but you didn't
so now you ride
in the back of the car where you're easy to ignore
you're trying to be hard, but you're leaving us bored
showing off your scars, but this is the score
The Poet's a star, I'm gonna brighten the world
