VERSE ONE
Take me back to the Halcyon days of rap,
With MC Hammer stylin' and 'Baby Got Back'.
When the Ice-Man dropped rhymes like D.M.C,
And the Beastie Boys were as young as me.
These days they take it too seriously,
And if you take a good look its not hard to see,
Back in the day even Hammer's pants were happy,
Intergalactic Planetary!
Here we are now bring the rap back!
CHORUS
With the F to the L to the O-A-T,
I-N-G Floating Circus of Lie G-H-T!
That's Frangipani! Bringing rap back to the family.
Lets go back to the day when rap is alright!
Frangipani's in the house gonna make it alright!
VERSE TWO
Since the Fresh Prince and Jazzy Jeff took the stage,
'Boom Shake the Room' has seen a new age.
The new Willenium has sure arrived,
But all the sudden seems so contrived.
Where are the funky lyrics and the lycra pants?
Bobby Brown dropping rhymes that'll make you dance?
50 Cent's so much sh**ter that N-Trance!
And what's with Eminem's anti-gay stance?
We've learnt so much from Carson and Jeff Janz,
Get over it slim its not like you're big you're small,
At least Snoop Dog was awkwardly tall!
Here we are now bring the rap back!
CHORUS
With the F to the L to the O-A-T,
I-N-G Floating Circus of Lie G-H-T!
That's Frangipani! Bringing rap back to the family.
Lets go back to the day when rap is alright!
Frangipani's in the house gonna make it alright!
VERSE THREE
Well it's no surprise that since raps demise
There is no Cypress Hill to make us get high.
I mean no rappers been knighted since Mix-Allot.
Before we collaborate we have got to stop - Stop!
MIDDLE 16
VERSE FOUR
Well if you stopped chasing arse and paid attention in cla**
You'd know a hoes proper use is for digging up gra**.
If setting the scene was left up to me,
I'd use rap more educationally.
Art, Maths, Science, Geography,
I before E except after C.
Learn before you die like B.I.G,
I don't think Dr Dre has a Ph.D!
Help the kids out with their A-B-C's.
C is for 'C & C Music Factory'
Don't forget arithmetic 1-2-3,
1 is for 'me', 2 is for 'we'
There are three MCs in Frangipani,
From Young MC to N.E.R.D,
Vanilla I.C.E to Jay Z,
This sh**s gone down hill since mid '93.
Here we are now bring the rap back!
CHORUS x2
With the F to the L to the O-A-T,
I-N-G Floating Circus of Lie G-H-T!
That's Frangipani! Bringing rap back to the family..
Lets go back to the day when rap is alright!
Frangipani's in the house gonna make it alright!
