about

I butted heads with Dain on whether or not to release this full version or the radio edit for the Nerdcore Vocalist-Producer Competition. I felt like there were a lot of great ideas in the outro, but not nearly enough time to really polish them up.

In the grand scheme of things, it all doesn't really matter - but I do think Dain's full version is the winner in the end.

lyrics

Got no need for the fancy things
The attention that it brings
And I know, I said yes, I was chosen
And I will be above the explosion

Got no need for the fancy things
The attention that it brings
And I know, I said yes, I was chosen
And I will be above the explosion

Listen in, all the folks generatin' a buzz
About the new kid - reveling in how he make a miracle
Out of a mic and a beat
And a hard determination not to accept defeat

What a beast! That's me on the concrete
Completely wrecking it without a regret and I bet
I'm accumulatin' hell of resentment
Bent kids utilizing mockery and puffin' the chest

Like this could be equivocal to actual prowess
And they spend half of the time wondering who would allow this
Young up-and-comer with a flow so broke
No tough demeanor, no mirror, no smoke

No baggage I hold! I don't want another drama llama
Makin' every little thing I do into another ordeal
For real, only ethic that I comprehend:
Let the other rappers fight while the Zilla ascends

Present an air of confidence and zealous pageantry
Just feel the rhythm and you notice all the eyes on me
Cuz I am ready when Saint gonna' thump that track
And when I hit the melody
You won't be able to hold back

Oh - got your silhouette dead in my sights and I swear that I'm
So - revvin' up to ignite and I'm gonna'
Explode - so enervate my body and my soul
Come with me, you'll lose control

Got no need for the fancy things
The attention that it brings
And I know, I said yes, I was chosen
And I will be above the explosion

Got no need for the fancy things
The attention that it brings
And I know, I said yes, I was chosen
And I will be above the explosion

Come on over here, give me a sign
Let the beat and the words intertwine
While the clock tick on
When the chime hit zed rewind we can do it again

Then trigger the player to play music
Fluid like liquid sex
Play on and on
And you don't ever wanna' get gone
Faded, spaded
How to do it flawless? Zero faults:

This verse is nothing more than just a rough approximation
Of expression to another from an internet sensation
In patient abbreviation (that's a shorter way of sayin')
All my power is latent
And I can do it everyday (uh huh)
So let me show you how I sling it to the fray (uh huh)
And let me switch it up in every way
You keep on fannin' the flames
While Zilla bringin' the blaze
Now and again you gotta' shock and amaze

Got no need for the fancy things
The attention that it brings
And I know, I said yes, I was chosen
And I will be above the explosion

Got no need for the fancy things
The attention that it brings
And I know, I said yes, I was chosen
And I will be above the explosion

It's pure emotion that your loving keeps you coming to me
It's some condition where your motion pulls you closer to me
And I can tell you
There's no one who loves you more than me
It's some addiction but I know you're coming back to me
Cuz it was meant to be

Oh
It's pure emotion that your loving keeps you coming to me
It's some condition where your motion pulls you closer to me

I know you.
I know you.

I know.
I know.
I know.
I know.

I know you think about it.
