Mc Lars - True Player For Real lyrics
rate meSince I was 3 I had ADHDGot in trouble constantly, said, "Just gotta be me!"Nineteen years later I've got this piece of paperIt says "congrats, you're broke English major"I still live with Mom and Dad and it's kind of sadwhen 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? "Haha, stop it!"This is an old-school jam, I'm dropping knowledge like PlatoWhile most rappers track it backwards and stay flat like Play-DohBut I'm a Minor Threat, I flip scripts so they knowYou can't taze me bro ("Don't taze me bro!")Not to conceal, keep it surrealPiss off the British press when I'm like, "Who's John Peel?"The NME says, "Lars is well rubbishHis 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 songTPFR (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 FlashInspired these nerds with a culture clashOnce Run-DMC mixed rock guitarsWith the kick, snare, kick, kick, snarePublic Enemy took a political standNow we pirate these records like damn the manNWA got attacked by the mediaNow we check the facts up on WikipediaCan't get on the stage at the Jay-Z showSo we boot up ProTools and bust a funky flowOnline for free we don't make dough,Okay just thought I'd let you knowAnd I can give you 27 reasons whyNerdcore rhymes are just as flyAs anything born from mainstream rapTill 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 songTPFR (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 BryantI just checked Billboard, my album's in the chartsI 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 slutSo 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 songTPFR (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?Post-punk laptop rap is the new DIYTPFR (true player for real)TPFR (true player for real)True player. true player
