Grey Ghost: Rapper Tag 40 by Grey Ghost Lyrics
[Intro]
Hello?
Yeah, I’m good, man
Just in filmin’ my film clip at the moment
Yeah, yeah, Grey Ghost, yeah, yeah
Hey? The fuck’s Rapper Tag?
Yeah, I know Mantra
All right
Okay, cool, so what do I gotta do?
Uh-huh, all right, well I got my camera crew here so I could do it
All right, I’ma do it right now, okay, check you later
[Verse]
Check it out, it’s that intergalactic cat
Gotta tip my cap for the tag from Mantra, man
Head into combat strapped with a battle-axe
In case people don’t like me like Kyle Sandilands
I’m like “Na-na-na”, doesn’t really matter, man
I rap about rainbows, does that make it faggot rap?
Actually don’t answer that, probably not a fan of that
Gotta pick a crowd, but I didn’t, ‘cause this is Rapper Tag
I simplify the letters like an ampersand
I am different like Elephant Man to Adam Ant
I won’t be sellin’ out for no stack of cash
Nothin’ rhymes with orange, so I refused a Fanta ad
So stand back when I stamp the track
Full of colour like a plastic bag from Amsterdam
When I crone, it’s the microphone I’m rappin’ at
And if you wonderin’, the beat is from Ratatat
Backpacker rappers write me off ‘cause I’m not ocker
But I’m from Australia, dude, yo, I’m not soccer
I’m just bein’ true to me in the scene
Which incidentally is not bein’ part of the scene
But the artist in me got art up in the arteries
So arty that I was tagged in R.T by R.T
Get it? ‘Cause Mantra’s name is Rob Tremlett?
And Rapper Tag, and arty, and ah, forget it
You'll pro'bly cop it later anyway like credit
I inject you with the remedy like diabetics
I speak in images like photographic critic biz
You can develop the negatives like a pessimist
Whenever you see Jeremedy in your presence
You inevitably know it’s time for rappin’ like December is
Got my work cut out like Metallica’s therapist
I’m a predator like Schwarzenegger’s nemesis
Everybody thinks that I’m some sort of terrorist
Maybe I should blow up and put a morbid end to this
Oh, man I better slow down
Just feel like I got so damn much to prove now
Sick of bein’ the underrated and understated
Underground, unappreciated, underdog rapper
Like bein’ slapped in the nuts with Thunder God’s hammer
I’m so sick of climbin’ this fuckin’ long ladder
Kick out the rungs, sick of kickin’ the jams
I need your approval like a kick in the pants
So cut it out like Edward Scissorhands
Peeps ask me where I been, man, I been in my band
Been bustin’ my balls in this band for six years
To realise we can’t take it further like the fifth gear
This year, decided to take the fuck over
With a Grey Ghost cloak hangin’ over the shoulder
The dopest MCs in the country tellin’ me
I needed to put out a solo LP immediately
I was like “Okay, jeez, just give me three months”
I made an EP, now it’s out in a few weeks
So check it out under the name Grey Ghost
Sorry to the Melodics fans who came to the shows
Been mad fun, but we callin’ it a day though
Thanks, sincerely, Jeremedy, I’ve been today’s host
Cheers for listenin’, hope you diggin’ the style
If not, fuck it, man, just be in denial
Anyway, enough frickin’, rhythmic chin waggin’
Like a graffer, I’ma have to do some goddamn taggin’
Was thinkin’ that I’d tag that dude Count Bounce
But then Joelistics’d be mad if he found out
Speakin’ of Joel’s, Rapaport woulda killed it
But then we’d have to hear from the whole of Big Village
Ha, kiddin’, love to hear Jeswon from Thundamentals
Julez or Elf Transporter kill an instrumental
That dude from rap news Hugo one
Dyl Thomas, Urban Monk from Polo Club
Who else was I thinkin’? Um, I know, yes
My old mate D-fro from the Payde Projects
Could even deal with hearin’ another one from Drapht
Thought I’d even tag Rhyno just for a laugh
Haha, nah, that’d just be silly
I’ma please a few Rapper Tag fans and tag Illy
So did you catch that correct?
It’s I-double-L-Y, Illy in effect
Pick up the Grey Ghost EP when you get a sec
Out online everywhere late Sep-
Tember, don’t forget, man, remember
And then the last Melodics show happenin’ in November
Yeah, Hi-Fi bar, fourth of N.O.V
Come and have a bender with me, Jeremedy
[Outro]
Thanks for listenin’. Have fun with it, Illy. Peace/
