El-P - We're Famous lyrics
I brought that genuine shit in '96
 Before you knew the underground or independent existed
 I watched the whole scene straight jump on the dick
 After stepping to KCR lit and flexing my shit
 No gun talk, no gimmicks, just rounds of raw dogging
 Dirty dusty intelligent wit and word murdering
 A hardcore poetic informed without burglary
 Potent and shook the shit out of rappers who just learned of me
 Everytime I prescribe a new pill, revolution
 Quickly defined the standard for indie rap distribution
 Arrogant unafraid shit developed riding a train thinking of brain fucks
 Bad Touch Example, that soon became bucks
 Had everybody sprung wondering where I came from
 Screaming out, Independent as fuck, with an insane tongue
 With an indelible squad of design monsters
 Innovating the styles that made biters look like imposters
 So we scripted an album and signed to Rawkus
 Selling a hundred thousand without a radio chart hit
 Imposterous son is taking the world hostage
 Classic hip hop bombage dirty with style progress
 Now I've come from the '80s juvenile Brooklyn
 Where cats was like Gimme that subway pass, kid. Good lookin
 Now someone else is taking a ride with what's mine
 So I had to develop styles with a death device cooked in
 So when I battled in basements I had eight sentences
 Waiting ready for the four you had laced in
 And I was taught to wait patient, Why?
 Only faggots make shit up just to get famous
 So when I finally blew up I remained sick
 Earning respect in ghettos and 'burbs for word placement
 Back when the independent scene remained faceless
 We were the only crew who promised your ass we'd take it
 Mold it, shape it, living outside the matrix
 Hold it, make it, more than miniature major labels
 Hold it sacred, living it for the culture
 Told ya plainly, protected it from the vultures
 That's why I always get respect from true soldiers
 That laugh at the critics claiming every year Hip hop's over
 FUCK YOU, hip hop just started
 It's funny how the most nostalgic cats are the ones
 who were never part of it
 But true veterans'll give dap to those who started it
 Then humbly move the fuck on and come with that new retarded shit
 New slang, new thought, new sound, new heart, you thought you hang
 You clown, you don't, you drown
 I won't dumb it down, I'm dumbing now for these rounds
 I'm a live mothefucker plus I'm gunning for clowns
 You're a mime motherfucker, don't be coming for pounds
 Till you can break out of that invisible box, you're not down
 My favorite ones are the ones who started out young rappin about
 Comic books, spaceships, and Omnicron 1
 And even though they were soft they had fun
 But they couldn't break out the frame of the town they came from
 Some of these faggots used to send me their demos
 Keeping their puppy styles in the Company Flow kennels
 But since they had no identity from the start
 They started to resent the scene when they couldn't become a part
 They've been failing for years and call themselves Vets, that's bold
 Motherfucker, you're not a Vet you're just old
 I'll slap the shit out you to continue my nerd rap
 Making this money fist over fist, fuck what you heard
 Rookie cats talk about boom bap and golden ages
 Pat themselves on the back for making that new outdated shit
 But i've been putting out vinyl since '93 and never looked back onceEl-P - We're Famous - http://motolyrics.com/el-p/were-famous-lyrics.html
 At ya'll trying to chase me
 You don't innovate because you can't innovate
 It's not a choice despite what you might tell your boys
 Keep your identity crisis under the table
 I always knew who I was and I'll always be more famous

 For the best in the bendor biz

 Leave the last CE, Off for crabs and bobbin hatorade
 Dig it, daddy dug his own tunnel under the gutters where the numbers bleed
 Hunters froze up and exposed Rapunzel weeds
 Tugboat, tug a rut out brutal dirt first
 The fuedals fuming oodles, it was right under your poodle skirt
 Welcome to Bazooka Works, halogen halo eyesore
 The revolution will not be apologized for
 Warbucks exlex megaphone on the fashion piggy pageant
 While my dick's raw dogg in a style magnet
 Fraggle rock your four figure watch
 I clock ninety nine cent wristbands
 And still know the time when you record flops
 And this is on a sick with it factor
 Exhibit A, E, S, Genesis of the klepto reactor
 Wanna burgle the buzz over definitive cast
 After a life of labor camps starts paying innovaters back
 Baby, you ain't felt the collect?, Coooool
 Stuck running bases with little bears under the wing
 of punchdrunk butter makers
 That engine sputters while the hound dogs wire cutter mechnical
 Rabbit bantomweight puppies ain't rabid enough to snatch him
 Poplock dynamos, is approached with a golden focal point
 Come soak in it, resume sturdy composer soldier bliss
 Wrong name by a molar can often expose your phobias
 Watch a cobra grow hands to hold his own tongue when he notices
 All city legity critter, bark with me
 All filthy documents, cats piss on their kittie litter moccasins
 Welcome to mi casa, Monsters Inc, dropping bangers out the rocket ships
 Your own private apocalypse
Honor it
For fuck's sake

 Wild fly
 You wanna read the nile, I twitch easy reader
Father it
I will, dog
Original
 Wide open with banged out cutlery from a slang mouth teacher
 And money is an ugly god we all fall for
 I got land mammal, cannibal, natural survival squackbox
 That means when I wake up and decide to comprise the new shit
 It's not some watered down version of what my favorite crews did
 Puff the magic komodo bitch
 Rappers stuffed komonos and shark fame at a perfect working unit
 Look, I'm done
 B boy, feed that to the needy
 Shut your liquor hole, fuck you in 3D
 Easy
