Momus - MC Escher lyrics

MC Escher the impossible rapper
Ain't nobody does it better under pressure
MC Escher he's so clever
Gives you pleasure forever

The conventions of rap dictate that every
MC who takes the mic claims to be the best
Fills his set with hype it's OTT
But, if we imagine a world
Where every MC really is
Badder and fresher than every other
It just gets madder and madder
One of those rooftop salmon ladders drawn by

MC Escher the impossible rapper
Ain't nobody does it better under pressure
MC Escher he's so clever
Gives you pleasure forever

So watch the water flow round and round
Without the need for pressure
This world of perpetual motion
Is just a beautiful illusion

MC Escher the impossible rapper
Ain't nobody does it better under pressure
MC Escher he's so clever
Gives you pleasure forever

Karl Marx and Biz Markie would probably agree
Equality has yet to make much of a
Mark on the world of the MC

Spin the turntable round and round
He's got a Boss Dr Sample underground
He's got a bag full of patterns
To give the ladies pleasure
It's the rise and fall and rise
Of the house of Escher

Ain't nobody does it better
Not MC Eric Satie or MC Franz Kafka
Gives you pleasure forever
