Avantcore - Busdriver

I know this group and they’re so avantcore

I bought their shit at the mom and pop store

And I give all of their songs the top score

I’ll see them play on their small hip-hop tour

They’re treated like sex symbols, out the stretch-limos

Autographing breasts with lead pencils

Now everybody thinks that they’re the best new group

As if they’re a pop band test tube fluke

They bought a home that’s the size of a ballpark

You can only cross the property with a golf cart

But they no longer can sell a billion records

Because when they first weren’t trying was their last brilliant effort

Rappers say the darndest things that you’ll ever hear

Like «I heard you sold this many units» and I say «wish me better luck next

year»

There seems to be too much water pressure

Underneath your genre-mesh blur

And to be honest I never took interest

In the modern day Young Black Teenagers

I’d thought they’d gone away replacing

What’s on gun racks with cheese graters

To use on the spongy mind

Of the LA rapper swinging from a monkey vine

Style biting used to result in a money fine, but now

Rappers say the darnedest things that you’ll ever hear

Like I’m edgy and I’m risque and I say better luck next year

I replied to the wuss with a yo mama’s joke

When he said how much he pushed the envelope

A group of sexually ambivalent nihilists

Crying from an ovarian cyst

Picking at a vegetarian dish

Idolizing a German band that barely exists

But me, my name’s never on the full-color flyer

I’m just the dull Busdriver

Thinking 'til my head is a bowl of dust fibers

To all the fools up under their trucker hats

Sagging until you can see their plumber’s cracks

There is no metaphorical meaning

So don’t bother sifting through the storyboard in one seating

It’s just horribly demeaning

And you can’t do burners

I want the colors back

Don’t want to hear your dumb ideas

Just shut your trap

Jumping jacks thunder claps in your bubble gum raps

Rappers say the darnedest things that you’ll ever hear

Like «I did a song with so-and-so and I got signed» but the checks will never
