[Geo-M]
Its only my debut
But already I got something to say to you
So goodday to you, the names Geo-M
Got strong views and not afraid to voice 'em
Guess it's just how I was brought up
And you'll hear it in this song that I thought up
Its all my material, I write my own lyrics
Cos I'm not just here to be singing
I'm here to voice my opinion
[RJAM]
Yo, the names RJAM
I follow the fashion, follow the trends
Use them like cammo to blend
But, inevitably, that fad will end in time
For a new trend to come along the line
[Geo-M]
Well I'mma not gonna be the same
Cos I'm no clone- Geo-M's the name
I'm me, only me, I'm proud of that
I don't need the latest mobile app
Latest pop tune, don't need a tat
Don't need the latest wear
Don't give a sh** if my top has your name plastered all over it
Thwack! So take that Jack
And I'm not going to take that back
You want me to play it back? Nah
Cause I got a lot to get across in this rap
So I'll crack on
Facebook on my mobile, nah
Cos don't need to post statuses 24/7
Don't get these people who tweet about everything they do
Even when they're not bloody doing nothing!
Do you think I really want to hear that you're ironing
Or what you just been eating out of ready meal packaging
If you're now doing the washing
Or with who you've been hanging
Or if you're going shopping
Or what you've been sitting on your arse watching? No!
Well I don't have that much time on my hands to spend
Use social media only to catch up with my friends
And I don't mean Facebook friends neither
Cos that's something different entirely
Cos sometimes I find
It's just a pointless stat to make you seem popular
Well who give a damn if you're popular
No matter what
Your real friends will still be there for you
Don't forget
Maybe it's time you found out who they really are
Cos I don't think you know yet
RJAM: Yo man, you heard the latest song?
Geo-M: No, afraid I ain't heard it
RJAM: Man, its a ma**ive hit
Geo-M: Mm, thats what you're listening to now?
RJAM: Sure is
Geo-M: I guessed somehow
[RJAM]
In my own zone
Just me and my smartphone
Music playing in my headphones
The latest song on the radio
Hit the charts just a couple of days ago
[Geo-M]
Well I don't listen to what's well known
I play music that to my friends is unknown
I occasionally tune into KLFM or Kiss
But half the music on there… I'll give it a miss
I like folk, dance and I quite like pop
But mostly I listen to rap and hip hop
And no, not just the new stuff, but some of the first
And undoubtedly, some of the best
I used to be a poet and my mates thought that was sh**
And now I'm a rapper and they say it's brilliant
Well the reason I can rap like this, write like this, rhyme like this
Is cos I wrote poetry
It was good practise
Cos really
Rap is poetry!
[Geo-M: This verse is almost recited as a poem]
These verses I wrote about trends I'm spitting
Could've wrote them in poem form but didn't
If I did, would you have listened?
To my poem about the latest fad, latest trend
That's currently fashionable, but will soon end
[Geo-M]
And when that fad finally fades out
Another trend will appear, no doubt
And it'll probably be something that was fashionable twenty years ago
Cos it always happens, never anything new though
You want an example? Chucks, cargo pants, chinos
These are all the fashion of the 90s
Made a comeback in 2013 in Autumn
Now it's the “new trend”- everybody's bought them
[RJAM]
So I go to town Saturday after a hard week
And buy a hoody, with across the front, “Geek”
Although my maths sk** is limited and I never seen a book
Don't even like sci-fi, just follow the geeky look
It's the latest trend, so I just play along
[Geo-M]
But I can a**ure you it won't be fashionable for long
Like every trend before, it'll be the same old tale
Like a whale
Swims along the bottom to rise to the surface every once in a while
Just to breathe, then sinks back down half a mile
Let's face it: that's how it goes
All the latest trends gotta die out, and be replaced
But this I'm betting money on:
They'll all return
[RJAM]
I'm just a clone
I follow the fashion, follow the trends
Use them like cammo to blend
But, inevitably, that fad will end in time
For a new trend to come along the line
[Geo-M]
Ok so maybe I do care how I look
But like some of you stars nowadays
I'm not just a pretty face
Got no pa**ion for fashion
Not gonna dress in your white armour, not me
And become one of your clone army
Forget it!
I'll never be seen in anything nerd, anything dweeb, anything geek
I'll always dress unique
And although I may do now, I won't stand out for long at all
Cos my new trend is gonna rule!
Now, if you happen to see them, the army's changed their uniform
They're now an army of Geo-Ms
And of course I'll feel on top of the world with this new rush of popularity
And seeing my people all around of me
Used to be trend breaker!
Now I'm trend maker!
But it won't last for long cos every trend has gotta meet its maker!
