lyrics

Scholastic Raptitude Test

Intensive study yields products such as this
Well this a spliff and a fifth of raw passion
Swiftly I shift from a pasture of inaction
And arrive at overdrive in a mere seconds fraction

One moment in rhyme my flow leaves you adrift
Shrouded in the mist of my legend and myth
Come in my realm and gets distressed
Along with anxiety that’s hard to repress I progress

MCs make me ruminate on 3rd grade recess weakness
That’s not fresh with a child’s play ethic work ethic pathetic
Your crew is energetic but your approach is antiseptic
And that makes me skeptic come on just accept it

I’m as dirty as a septic hey, but it’s all, copasetic you won’t be infected
This beat is an audio condom put on one and you’re protected
Until the disk is ejected or the needle is extracted
You might contract it if you bite but don’t be proactive

Magnetically attracted to the papers surface
These lines pull my mind into a fantastic circus
But you’ll be hard pressed to find a single lion or a tiger
The only wild things within these three rings are the implements of a writer

People always ask Roughneck what makes you tighter
I don’t grip the next man’s jock with my incisors
Wack MCs can eat mine shizer I rob from the rich like Robin and the friar
And give to the legitimate poet designer

I minor in wealth redistribution
My favorite field of study is chump execution
Read it in the liner notes I cut throats it’s amusing
how you’re oozin’ name your next record male rap prostitution

I’ll call all the clients you just be compliant
Call your next LP pandering the whole thing will be giant
We can form an alliance and stop the street violence or maybe we can’t
I just do my job hit you with a barrage of like vowels and consonants

Resonance and and dissonance plus and B-boy stance
Your albums a stage play like the pirates of Penzance

Hook:
You’ve got low, test scores come back in four weeks and we can try once more
We’ll see what you manifest if you can pass the scholastic raptitude test

Verse 2:
A sucker said, “Mr. Betts I did my homework it made my dome hurt”
I dread the next test I cram to understand this artwork
And I said your grey matter is like hard earth
And what’s worse you’re verse needs refining
You only did a tepid edit to your fetid biting
Rancid writing and since I’m the judge presiding
You get a detention like Guantanamo Bay
For dissension you’ll pay and not enjoy your stay

Learn to listen aw fuck it lobotomy incision
I use my clever cleaver to severe frontal lobe subdivision
A sucker brain circumcision now I’m circumspect
Like I owe the world a debt but the circumstance was

He was un-advanced an MC that could not wreck
Un enhanced rants hadn’t a chance of survival
Excuse me students, as I get dia-tribal against a lyrical liars libel
A staunch stance stiff as heavily starched pants

I like my pupils truthful and all my beats brutal like corporal punishment
No, capital punishment sanctioned by the government
Appeals feel real stupid and futile to keep up with me you need supplements
It’s not unusal

For anyone to love my poems It’s known I’m Tom Jones
Famous in Las Vegas outrageous on microphones

Hook: (x2)

Refrain:
You don’t pass the test you get an F (x3)
Take the class again you failed the test
