MC Frontalot - Indier Than Thou lyrics
[MC Frontalot - Indier Than Thou lyrics]
"I have spread out my hands all
The day unto a rebellious people
Stand by thyself, come not near to me for
I am holier than thou"
I’m so indie that my shirt don’t fit
You wonder out loud
"Frontalot yo why you come so ill-equipped?"
Because being all prepared to get on
The mic is selling out
And I ain’t even about
To relinquish indie clout
I look confused, like I just got out of bed
My rhyme style reflects this
Use my overdeveloped sense of
Irony to deflect dis-
Missiles, exploding all around me
Unpromoted, don’t know how you found me
Soundly situated in obscurityland
Famous in inverse proportion to how cool I am
And should I ever garner triple-digit fans
You can tell me then there’s
Someone I ain’t indier than
(He’s so indie) Indie I be
Ain’t an obscurer rapper out there
Who be indier than me
(He’s so indie) Indie, and how!
Come not near to me
For I be indier than thou
(He’s so indie) Indie indeed
If I were on an indie label
You could call me mainstream
(He’s so indie) Indie I am
All the better for the Frontalot
To leverage his brand
"I am sought of them that asked not for me
I am found of them that sought me not
These are a smoke in my nose"
Delving deep into my letterbox
When I discovered
Fan mail for MC Front it kind of hovered
Before my vision i made a
Decision to open it up
It said, "Yo, Frontalot, you suck!"
Whew! I was worried for a second
That I’d started to earn love
Seeing all my indie points burned up
Next you know
I’m meeting pop stars in stretched cars
Doing the soundtrack for the Wendy’s
Tie-in with Jar Jar
Paying rent on time, owning things
Suing Napster with my best friend Sting
It’s like a nightmare
(yep) , ‘cause that ain’t nerdcore (nope)
Yes, I’m indier than thou
Within my nerdcore flow
And if you’re slow on the uptake
I’ll lay it out:
Hipsterism is a religion to which
You got to be devout must be seen as in
Between unpopular and hated
Or else get excommunicated
He's so indie so indie so indie so indie
He's so indie so indie
The day unto a rebellious people
Stand by thyself, come not near to me for
I am holier than thou"
I’m so indie that my shirt don’t fit
You wonder out loud
"Frontalot yo why you come so ill-equipped?"
Because being all prepared to get on
