lyrics

("...expressed in the language:
co-existence of two different essences")

Most MCs can't write
Most writers can't see that you gotta play the part to hit Gen Z
I Will Shake my peers when I spit
Setting bars on fire, making English lit

Most MCs can't write
Most writers can't see that you gotta play the part to hit Gen Z
I Will Shake my peers when I spit
Setting bars on fire, making English lit

Yo I've a novella about a young fella like me
Man on a-mission for the screen
#SmalltownDreamer leaving Eastleigh to get a degree
Go uni-que, learn to speak properly (pronouns every Tea)
Write a masterpiece for some Doctor to do little with it
But I'm not playin', I'd rather make it rain
That's why I became an MC

Who can write, but
Most writers can't see that you gotta play the part to hit Gen Z
I Will Shake my peers when I spit
Setting bars on fire, making English lit

Put Byron in a battle, he'd be Lord of the mic
Mary a shelley MC if she had the right
Technology to record for free
Even PG Wodehouse would Ask Jeeves:
"If a tree falls down for Amazon
To print some book which nobody reads"
Try making a sound 3-minute song
Music's the food I love, play on

MCs who can write and writers who can see
That English was always mazzalean
Let's keeping pushing boundaries
And raising the bars making English lit

MCs can't you see?
Not every Mister's hiding the mind of a Doctor
What son? Those yer bars? They should lock yer
Content's all cursing and violence
I'd prefer some -
My pen is mightier than your pen-is mightier
Than your sword, I'm fighting you with these words
A new blend of cultures meant to outrage & excite you
With this novel SC3NT from the page of an

MC who can write
'Cos I'm a writer who can see
That you gotta give your heart to hit Gen Z
I'm a Beastly Boy when I spit
I hope they hear me out there in English Lit

Wilde kids getting stuck in a Reading Prison
That's the State of our schools, teachers listen:
We passed English, ghost it like Dickens
Give us class in music, not slim pickings
They got stories, show 'em how to tell
Refresh the page, don't let it go stale
Got giant dreams? Make your tale Swift
It's worth your words to share your gift
Forget the canon, just light your flame
Go out with a bang, they'll remember your name

MC who can write and a writer who can see
That you gotta keep pushing English boundaries
Let's Shake our peers when we spit
Setting bars on fire, making English lit

MC Beastly: it's the part of me that
Will Shake my peers
When I #SpitFireBars it's Lit
