Song Lyrics
You’ve got your Flocab? I’ve got my Flocab! I’m all over these words and you know that! We-we-we step it up; we don’t roll back! Another Flocab track and it’s so phat! (x2)
A master with words, I’m Shakespeare or Biggie, Get A’s on my tests; don’t ever try to diss me. I’m too clever with it, I’m too clever with it, Listen to my rhymes with a shovel—can you dig it? They should translate these lines into Spanish, Just so my friends in the south could understand it. Yo, I’m tough, when it comes to words, I’m a nerd, Learning every single word I can find,
Just to throw in my rhymes, throw in my stories, To keep in my mind; too few words bore me. “This is why I’m hot.” This is why I’m hot? You need to prove it with words, or you’re not. I’m big and I’m large; yes, those are synonyms, Words that mean the same thing, like nutmeg and cinnamon... Wait, that’s not right; those are two different spices,
I mean synonym like “cuts” and “slices.” Antonyms mean the opposite, you know, Like “first” and “last” or “fast” and “slow.”
So is “finger” the antonym of “toe”? That’s a good question; ask a doctor, I don’t know. Listen to my “band,” They only play songs that are “banned” on the radio. If you’re confused? Take it slow. Those are homonyms or homophones. That’s words that sound the same, But their meanings don’t match.

So a prefix starts a word and changes what it means, The prefix in the word prefix is “pre-,” Which means “before,” like in previously, Or preview, or pre-game. Ha, now you see, dudes? The suffix is the sound at the end,
Like -er means a person who does. So a trapper traps, and a rapper raps, But it’s hard because a master does not “mast.” I’ll tell you a tale about this girl named Laurie, I’m the narrator, the one who tells the story. Laurie is the main character or hero, The protagonist; are all of y’all grabbing this? The antagonist is Laurie’s enemy, Who tries to stop her from getting anything. Laurie is a character with character, A person with bravery, You want to know what happens? Better read up and wait and see.
