"I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people... |
|
Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou." |
|
I'm so indie that my shirt don't fit. |
|
You wonder out loud "Frontalot, yo why you come so ill-equipped?" |
|
B-B-B-B-Because being all prepared to get on the mic is sellin' out |
|
and I'm not even about to relinquish indie clout. |
|
I look confused, like I just got out of bed. |
|
The rhyme style reflects this |
|
use my overdeveloped sense of irony to deflect dis- |
|
missiles, exploding all around me |
|
unpromoted, don't know how you found me |
|
soundly situated in obscurityland |
|
famous in inverse proportion to how cool I am |
|
and should I ever garner triple-digit fans |
|
you can tell me then there's someone I ain't indier than. |
|
(He's so indie.) Indie I be, |
|
ain't an obscurer rapper out there who be indier than me. |
|
(He's so indie.) Indie, and how! |
|
Come not near to me; for I be indier than thou. |
|
(He's so indie.) Indie indeed, |
|
if I were on an indie label you could call me mainstream. |
|
(He's so indie.) Indie I am. |
|
Yo all the better for the Frontalot to leverage his brand. |
|
"I am sought of them that asked not for me; |
|
I am found of them that sought me not... |
|
These are a smoke in my nose." |
|
Delving deep into my letterbox when I discovered |
|
fanmail for MC FRONT. It kind o' hovered |
|
before my vision. I made a decision to open it up. |
|
It said "Yo Frontalot, you suck!" |
|
Oh whew, I was worried for a second that I'd started to earn love |
|
seeing all my indie points burned up. |
|
Next you know I'm meeting pop stars in stretched cars |
|
doing the soundtrack to the Wendy's tie-in with Jar Jar |
|
payin' rent, ownin' things, |
|
suing KaZaA with my best friend Sting. |
|
It's like a nightmare (yep) 'cause that ain't nerdcore (nope) |
|
and yes I'm indier than thou within my nerdcore flow. |
|
If you're slow on the uptake, I'll lay it out: |
|
hipsterism is a religion to which you gotta be devout. |
|
You must be seen as in between unpopular and hated, |
|
or else get excommunicated. |
|
(He's so indie.) Indie I be, |
|
ain't an obscurer rapper out there who be indier than me. |
|
(He's so indie.) Indie, and how! |
|
Come not near to me; for I be indier than thou. |
|
(He's so indie.) Indie indeed, |
|
if I were on an indie label you could call me mainstream. |
|
(He's so indie.) Indie I am. |
|
Yo all the better for the Frontalot to leverage his brand. |
|
(He's so indie.) He's so indie... |
|
(He's so indie.) So indie... so indie... so indie... |
|
(He's so indie.) He's so indie... so indie... |
|
(He's so indie.) |
