歌曲 | True Player For Real |
歌手 | MC Lars |
专辑 | This Gigantic Robot Kills |
作曲 : Brown, Jimenez, MC Lars | |
Since I was 3 I had ADHD, | |
got in trouble constantly, said, "Just gotta be me!" | |
Nineteen years later I've got this piece of paper | |
It says "congrats, you're broke English major" | |
I still live with mom and dad and it's kind of sad | |
when this Stanford grad brings ladies to his pad, | |
"What up girl?" | |
"Aren't you that rapper with that song about Hot Topic?" | |
Maybe Bukowski was right about women? "ha ha, stop it!" | |
This is an old-school jam, I'm dropping knowledge like Plato | |
while most rappers track it backwards and stay flat like Play Dough | |
but I'm a Minor Threat, I flip scripts so they know | |
You can't taze me bro ("Don't taze me bro!") | |
Not to conceal, keep it surreal, | |
piss off the British press when I'm like, "Who's John Peel?" | |
The NME says, "Lars is well rubbish, | |
his single is bollocks," but I know that they love this! | |
chorus | |
I'm MC Lars (true player for real!) | |
TPFR (true player for real) | |
It's my self-referential introduction song | |
TPFR (true player for real) | |
I'm MC Lars (true player for real!) | |
TPFR (true player for real!) | |
The name's MC Lars now you know the deal | |
(true player for real) | |
Once upon a time Grandmaster Flash | |
inspired these nerds with a culture clash | |
Once Run-DMC mixed rock guitars | |
with the kick, snare, kick, kick, snare | |
Public Enemy took a political stand, | |
now we pirate these records like damn the man | |
NWA got attacked by the media, | |
now we check the facts up on Wikipedia | |
Can't get on the stage at the Jay-Z show | |
so we boot up ProTools and bust a funky flow | |
Online for free we don't make dough, | |
okay just thought I'd let you know | |
And I can give you 27 reasons why | |
Nerdcore rhymes are just as fly | |
As anything born from mainstream rap, | |
Till my laptop dies... and I'll take that back | |
chorus | |
I'm MC Lars (true player for real!) | |
TPFR (true player for real) | |
Still my self-referential introduction song | |
TPFR (true player for real) | |
I'm MC Lars (true player for real!) | |
TPFR (true player for real!) | |
The name's MC Lars now you know the deal | |
(true player for real) | |
Like Ralph Waldo Emerson, I stay "Self Reliant" | |
Genre-defiant, all ages shows with Kobe Bryant | |
I just checked billboard, my album's in the charts | |
I think therefore I soundscan, right Descartes? | |
But am I a culture thief making hip-hop sound white? | |
Haven't got the right like Lancelot the knight? | |
No, Camelot's a myth, and Guinevere's a slut | |
So I'll jump into this mosh pit, pants sagging like "What!"... key change | |
chorus | |
I'm MC Lars (true player for real!) | |
TPFR (true player for real) | |
Still my self-referential introduction song | |
TPFR (true player for real) | |
I'm MC Lars (true player for real!) | |
TPFR (true player for real!) | |
The name's MC Lars now you know the deal | |
(true player for real) | |
Outro: | |
I kill it on stage, with two DI's, why? | |
Post-punk laptop rap is the new DIY | |
(true player for real!) | |
TPFR (true player for real) | |
I kill it on stage, with two DI's, why? | |

TPFR (true player for real) | |
TPFR (true player for real) | |
True player.... true player |
