MC Lars, MC Frontalot, YTCracker - Oneonta (Eli Porter) lyrics

But look
Ya'll will have 45 seconds and please
Stop when I tell you or
Else you will be disqualified
Alright, let's get it goin'
We gon' start things off with
Ya' boy right here

I’m sitting by myself in Oneonta, New York
Typing rhymes on my MacBook, getting to work
I put my headphones on and
I hide behind the screen
Because the world is mercurial and
The world is mean
Sick of all these boring, people so I’m
In the fast lane writing rhyme after rhyme
I hide inside the gigs of
The music and the data
Shot callin’, Myspace, ballin’
Peace world I’ll see you later



YTCracker
I’m sitting by myself in the 'Springs
Colorado
Well, not alone, with my shadow, I battle
Thoughts from the cattle so I
Dig in my saddle
Deflect the mess with my Atari paddle
Control the flow
These bit's is second nature
Paper what I make by pushin’ data
Thank the maker blow out
Like a circuit breaker
Check my Facebook man, I'll see you later

I’m sitting by myself in Oneonta, New York
Typing rhymes on my MacBook, getting to work
I put my headphones on and
Get lost in the web i never liked reality
I’ll stay in mine instead
I’m over all the boring, dejected
Bitter people
Who run to their dealers, their troughs
And their steeples
I reign supreme in my rhythmic paradise
I kill that demon with my lyrics
And it feels very nice

Hip-hop integration the iGeneration went tech
I hit the streets from the net
Now this net vet get props and respect
‘Cause, I knew what I was doing in the 80s
Bet the computer saved Hip-Hop made Hip-Hop
Played Hip-Hop so I return the favor
Tell ‘em how computers are their savior
Like Hip-Hop gave us this gift the greatest

I studied Hip-Hop ’cause I had to
I had no choice
I needed an identity I needed a voice
So I found my salvation in the Run-DMC
The KRS, Nas, and Public Enemy
You can take rapper out the British punk show
But, you can’t take the punk
Show out the rapper yo
So I’m DIY, till I die, this is why
When I try
You’ll probably see my smiling when you
See me flying straight on by

I’m sitting by myself in that San Francisco
Well not alone ’cause I’m ’bout to spit flows
With my friend Lars that I met cuz of music
And if I wasn't rapping then
I’d feel abused kid
Since I found music I’ve never had solitude
It will never beat on me or call me names
It will never cheat on me or play those games
It will always be loyal and never change
Kick it with the Rondos
Spitting in the studio
Blocking out the world when I’m
Feeling kinda moody yo
Getting into paradise, I’m the nerdy coolio
‘Cause, I got a gift and I
Feel it is my duty yo
Got the fame now came up from dumb luck
And they all know I’m the ish like 2girls1cup
They all know that I’m
Styling on the interweb
And they all pressing repeat just
To hear what I said

I’m the best man, I did it
I’m the best man, I did it

And they all pressing repeat just
To hear what I said
And they all pressing repeat just
To hear what I said

Now I’m sitting alone
Not a stone’s throw from the bone show
That I don’t seek to star in
Already went too far in
That direction: a goodly chunk
Of lifespan spent rapped for half of it
Hadn’t had an epiphany yet
If I do, it's onset’s
Getting attributed to this, though
Sitting by myself in San Luis Obispo
Trying to thumb a ride to the castle keep
Where the rich man dwelled with
His cash piled steep
Where his crimes wouldn’t leap
From obscurity to prominence
Pen a rhyme while I hitchhike
The beat’s ominous
(Why frontalot maybe don’t get picked up:
Up in the middle of a lyric
You don’t want to interrupt
As you fly past) Isn’t it hologram? digital?
Cars and trucks are simulated
By the quizzical gPU who wonders why the
Threads would intermingle:
The roadside and the rhyming
The b-side and the single
