[MC Frontalot - Synonyms lyrics]
Now who wants to guess what a synonym is?
Gimme the ‘xact same answer that
The last kid did
But don’t use any of the words
That the last kid used
Now you’re ‘bout to see what synonyms do!
Boys and girls, young ladies and gentlemen
Chill, relax, sit back, in fact settle in
These are the words I’ve
Heard: they’re called synonyms
Two terms per definition, minimum
Synonyms, synonyms
Words that share a definition
Synonyms, synonyms
Sure to spare us repetition
Two words or more could explore a definition
Find the same meaning, and in addition
Yo, specify the very same thing!
So do you get left wondering
And curious about, and keen to know
How come it always seems to go
That people say the same thing
In the same way
Time after time, day after day
Over and over, repeatedly
When they got all these synonyms
That are free to be
Employed, applied and utilized
Implemented and exercised?
What do we need so many words for, anyway?
Wait! Don’t escape, run off
Or make a getaway
‘Cause the more words you got
Yo the better you talk
Yo the finer your speech
All the easier to unlock
The verbosity, let the rhyme flow
It don’t got to be slow
You can rock on the topic you know
Expound on the issue with
Which you’re familiar
Distill your discussion over percussion
Right up until you’re
Done said your piece, had your say
Got off your chest all
You wanted to articulate
But hey what about the next time
When you’re picked out, chosen
Selected to rhyme
On the very same subject, identical theme?
Are you going to find yourself repeating
And duplicating echoes of the words you said
Or are you gonna be giving
‘em some synonyms instead?
Gimme the ‘xact same answer that
The last kid did
But don’t use any of the words
That the last kid used
Now you’re ‘bout to see what synonyms do!
Boys and girls, young ladies and gentlemen
Chill, relax, sit back, in fact settle in
