[06:21.00]We're Famous (feat. El-P) - Aesop Rock

[El-P]
[06:21.00]I brought that genuine s**t in '96
[06:21.00]Before you knew the underground or independent existed
[06:21.00]I watched the whole scene straight jump on the d**k
[06:21.00]After stepping to kcr lit and flexing my s**t
[06:21.00]No gun talk, no gimmicks, just rounds of raw-dogging
[06:21.00]Dirty dusty intelligent wit and word murdering
[06:21.00]A hardcore poetic informed without burglary
[06:21.00]Potent and shook the s**t out of rappers who just learned of me
[06:21.00]Everytime I prescribe a new pill, revolution
[06:21.00]Quickly defined the standard for indie rap distribution
[06:21.00]Arrogant unafraid s**t developed riding a train thinking of brain f**ks
[06:21.00]"Bad Touch Example" that soon became bucks
[06:21.00]Had everybody sprung wondering where I came from
[06:21.00]Screaming out"Independent as f**k" with an insane tongue
[06:21.00]With an indelible squad of design monsters
[06:21.00]Innovating the styles that made biters look like imposters
[06:21.00]So we scripted an album and signed to Rawkus
[06:21.00]Selling a hundred thousand without a radio chart hit
[06:21.00]Imposterous son is taking the world hostage
[06:21.00]Classic hip-hop bombage dirty with style progress
[06:21.00]Now I've come from the '80s juvenile Brooklyn
[06:21.00]Where cats was like:"Gimme that subway pass, kid. Good lookin."
[06:21.00]Now someone else is taking a ride with what's mine
[06:21.00]So I had to develop styles with a death device cooked in
[06:21.00]So when I battled in basements I had eight sentences
[06:21.00]Waiting ready for the four you had laced in
[06:21.00]And I was taught to wait patient (Why?)
[06:21.00]Only faggots make s**t up just to get famous
[06:21.00]So when I finally blew up I remained sick
[06:21.00]Earning respect in ghettos and 'burbs for word placement
[06:21.00]Back when the independent scene remained faceless
[06:21.00]We were the only crew who promised your a** we'd take it
[06:21.00]Mold it, shape it, living outside the matrix
[06:21.00]Hold it, make it, more than miniature major labels
[06:21.00]Hold it sacred, living it for the culture
[06:21.00]Told ya plainly, protected it from the vultures
[06:21.00]That's why I always get respect from true soldiers
[06:21.00]That laugh at the critics claiming every year:"Hip hop's over."
[06:21.00]F**k you, hip hop just started
[06:21.00]It's funny how the most nostalgic cats are the ones who were never part of it
[06:21.00]But true veterans'll give dap to those who started it
[06:21.00]Then humbly move the f**k on and come with that new retarded s**t
[06:21.00]New slang, new thought, new sound, new heart, you thought you hang
[06:21.00]You clown, you don't, you drown
[06:21.00]I won't dumb it down, I'm dumbing now for these rounds
[06:21.00]I'm a live mothef**ker plus I'm gunning for clowns
[06:21.00]You're a mime m**********r, don't be coming for pounds
[06:21.00]Till you can break out of that invisible box, you're not down
[06:21.00]My favorite ones are the ones who started out young rappin about
[06:21.00]Comic books, spaceships, and Omnicron 1
[06:21.00]And even though they were soft they had fun
[06:21.00]But they couldn't break out the frame of the town they came from
[06:21.00]Some of these faggots used to send me their demos
[06:21.00]Keeping their puppy styles in the Company Flow kennels
[06:21.00]But since they had no identity from the start
[06:21.00]They started to resent the scene when they couldn't become a part
[06:21.00]They've been failing for years and call themselves Vets, that's bold
[06:21.00]M**********r, you're not a Vet you're just old
[06:21.00]I'll slap the s**t out you to continue my nerd rap
[06:21.00]Making this money fist over fist, f**k what you heard
[06:21.00]Rookie cats talk about boom bap and golden ages
[06:21.00]Pat themselves on the back for making that new outdated s**t
[06:21.00]But I've been putting out vinyl since '93 and never looked back once
[06:21.00]At ya'll trying to chase me
[06:21.00]You don't innovate because you can't innovate
[06:21.00]It's not a choice despite what you might tell your boys
[06:21.00]Keep your identity crisis under the table
[06:21.00]I always knew who I was and I'll always be more famous
