lyrics

It ain't that serious
Let Go!
It ain't all good
It's as good as it gets though!
So try and have a little fun with it!
Write a couple rhymes then we run with it

I make you stop quick
My hands are nice I pulled a fly
Right up outta the blue sky with chopsticks
I then hop skip across Jupiter
Pinning down souvenirs like a juvenile boutonnière
You can choose to hear the truth
I speak in ancient dialect like an Aztec or Olmec tribe leader
I dive deeper than the Marianas Trench
I manipulate a satellite with hammers and a wrench

Give me a mic
Guaranteed to blow
Dynamite!
Fresh quills and inkwells
Every time I write
Listen to the radio blast
Get a lobotomy
I study all the greats from the past
That's archaeology
My mind is a mine of rhymes
I dig em up
Til I hit the mother lode
Then I bring it up
Admiring the shine in the light
Gotta live it up
Smiling, it's time to spread love
Middle fingers up

And with a dime drop
I make time stop
I make ya hair stand on end
The air land won't bend
Unless I manifest an earthquake and a cyclone
I write poems after I bike home
I'm the infinity gauntlet
Of infinite air max
The writer of folklore curator of rare tracks
Developing technology masterful minded
Sun rays beam galaxies blinded

It ain't that serious
Let Go!
It ain't all good
It's as good as it gets though!
So try and have a little fun with it!
Write a couple rhymes then we run with it

I burned a house down
With one rhyme
And it was awesome
Other emcees on the scene
Gasping and coughing
Like they asking for the last nail in the coffin
Firefighters then arrived
Said that it was arson
My skill for killing the rhyme
Is criminal suspect
What? Like drug dealers and roughnecks?
I started plotting how to ride into the sunset
Had to put the plan on pause
I ain't done yet!

But if I'm your tutor
I suggest you not try to maneuver
I'm like Lex Luthor with a head of hair
Making moves like Fred Astaire
On a moon crater
I beat down Dr Doom and Darth Vader
I silver surf on the Star Trek enterprise
Geordi La Forge with a set of eyes
I can minimize a mountain range down to an ant hill
Make a mosh pit stop quick at a stand still

I spent years and days to find ways
To break down the doors
And bust out the maze, like
Rats are racing
Cats are chasing
Trying to catch another meal
So congratulations!
Now you stand on your own two
Look what you've grown to
Lessons other people have shown you
Add it to the repertoire
Only way to get this far
Everybody's Superman
Trying to be a superstar

It ain't that serious
Let Go!
It ain't all good
It's as good as it gets though!
So try and have a little fun with it!
Write a couple rhymes then we run with it
