Dear Watsky - Dan Bull

Dear George

This may seem a little premature

But let me inform and reassure you what I’m here for

See:

There’s three of four MCs I simply adore

And I can’t really afford for them to be ignored

They rap with purpose, challenge your belief and more

Than scratch the surface, Grand Wizard Theodore

You see, I hear you perform

And then I feel all tingly and warm

Like these things are seeing porn

Therefore:

I thought it’d be mint if we recorded

So if you want to do this thing, give me a call, it’s

Another pale kid sitting in his bedsit

Spinning syllables in a ball, it’s a head trip

I want to give props, though I’m not often a dick sucker

And it isn’t often that I kiss butts

Yes, but it isn’t often that I hear lyrics bringing this stuff

So let me pucker my lips up and give love

Your subtle lisp just gives a certain crispness

To your presence, like red ribbon at Christmas

You lyrically bring a vision, images and pictures

To widen the line of our sight like strabismus

Listeners reminice for the time

Rap was a little bit deeper than just the meniscus

You must have missed or dismissed this missive

That insists on simplistic lyrics to get hits

'Cause our business is a harsh mistress

When MCs receive more spins than a discus

But the chips don’t stack quick, I’m left listless

So I might just get down with the thickness

But hold on, there’s another way

Watch, see?

You can be a geek like me, Watsky

Or any other bugger keeping it real

With stuff for people to feel

Regardless of if it leads to a deal

The secret to really having fun for yourself

Is to differentiate between money and wealth

I spent years trying to be somebody else

And then I realised it wasn’t good for my health

Rap’s in need of a bit of positivity

So maybe a love letter is a good place to start

'Cause I love letters (hah)

Hey George, George

Isn’t rap fun?

It’s like weaving a tapestry of language

I luv it

Why don’t more people do this?

Imagine if the great musicians, playwrights, poets of the past

Had this technology at their disposal

What would they do with it?
