Jacob Nash - Lyricist lyrics

[Hook] I used to think that I was the stupidest person alive But then I took an IQ test and I scored one forty-five Now, I've got to decide what to do with my brilliant mind I think I'll be a rapper and the best lyricist ever And with my mental stature that should be an easy endeavor I just realized I'm not the stupidest person alive I took an IQ test and I scored one forty-five Now, I've got to decide what to do with my brilliant mind I think I'll be a rapper and the best lyricist ever And with my mental stature that should be an easy endeavor [Verse 1] You might be able to write, but I'm the best lyricist ever When it comes to rappers, I'm probably the greatest writer Get ready, because the industry as you know it is over It's time for a new era where lyrics actually matter It's time for a whole new generation of rappers Who actually do care about what they put in their lyrics; Who are closer to being hicks than gangster pricks Who can rap about more than guns, d**, and chicks This is for everyone who's sick of every song being lyrically the same I guess girls, guns, and d** is all you need for fame So rap about throwing bullets through your enemies' brain I guess that's just how you do it when you're part of a gang Gangsta rap made me do it or maybe d** are to blame But you know that's just an excuse to do more of the same I don't know about you, but in my opinion that's lame So I'll be bringing some originality into this game [Hook] [Verse 2] Listen to this. I've got a better rapper list Here's my list for the top ten best lyricists Forget about two through ten, but I'm the greatest I don't mean to be hating, but I have to be honest There's no lyrical competition in the average rap artist They're only competitive when it comes to rapping fastest They have to rap fast, so their pathetic lyrics aren't noticed Fill this room with rappers and I'll probably be the smartest Come to the room yourself and you'll be in the presence Of some of the stupidest people in all existence I'm not really egotistical though, so I'm not being serious I'm just sick of all these other rappers and I've ran out of patience With all of these weak verses I keep hearing from my opponents My point is almost every other rappers' lyrics lack substance So when you hear someone actually construct a decent sentence Like Nas for instance, you consider it brilliance [Hook] [Verse 3] When it comes to lyrics, it shouldn't be hard to have the best In fact, it really shouldn't even be much of a contest As for all these whack verses I keep hearing, I suggest All you rappers find new ghost writers to write the rest A lot of you are limited to four letter words, but I'm blessed To know enough words for my thoughts to be properly expressed But I'm really just your average white guy from the midwest So when you listen to this, you shouldn't be too impressed But you are impressed. It's only cause you're not used to this though I can actually write a verse, unlike the other rappers that you know People know them, because they don't need sk** for play on the radio I'm still young, but I could out write most rappers ten years ago No one must be teaching the kids to write in the ghetto You don't need good lyrics to get singed anyway though How you say it is what matters, it's not what you say, so They may as well forget the lyrics and just work on the flow [Hook]
