They take the music programs out of schools, turn the youth into fools
Aye Tom, why don't you let these n*ggas know the rules
[Tom Cruz]
Well!
If you wanna make a song proper
Gotta make the beat knock hard like a chopper
The verse ain't gotta be sixteen necessarily
Just gotta make the hook catchy like a STD
Well, they've elected me
King of this thing called Fruity Loops, respectively
Just cause I connected the
Dots on the screen more small than the town of Schenectady
Intrinsically, so respect it, G
And I've protected the ancient arts and traditions
And passed 'em down to those who would listen
So, just lend me a ear, lend me a beer
Give me about a f*ckin' minute, it won't take a year
Cause it don't take long to make songs to make thongs
Take flight like them brothers named Wright
And like the f*ckin' Dark Knight, I had to bust this
Just cause the people were tired and required justice

So they respected me, ever since I came in this game
With the recipe on how to live successfully
My trajectory had everybody tryna get next to me
Especially Bethany, Melanie had me in ecstasy
Apparently I was heavily known as the pedigree
When beats were prepared for me I'd eat 'em up regularly
A shy young child although I smiled no one expected me
To ever be the best in me until the day I rest in peace
It's destiny, it's set to be, it's everything it's said to be
Had a music teacher once, don't remember a thing said to me
Cause that n*gga was a fool and he never got the tools
That's what happens when you
Take the music programs out of schools, turn the youth into fools
Aye Tom, why don't you let these n*ggas know the rules
[Tom Cruz]
Well!
If you wanna make a song proper
Gotta make the beat knock hard
Once upon a time when I was high I made a track for this one guy
I didn't do it in a standard way and he wanted to know why
Well, basically in order for you to taste this fully
I need my drums interesante, and my synths elegante
I been doing this for a while and they say I do it grande, perro
I ain't no puta, so homie just eschua
Enough gloating, what am I talking sh*t for?
Back to the coaching with the playbook and the clipboard
Back to the toasting with the butter and the marmalade
Never close the shutters, or stutter cause I aren't afraid
If you wanna make a song proper…
If you wanna make a song proper
Gotta make the beat knock hard like a chopper
