Mr. Hipster
By Idris Goodwin
They just like Spit
Tryin to cover what I invent
Reinvent and all that other good…
Hey there Mr. hipster
Why don't you come define these lines I draw
Just take your brilliant ink
and make me sink to the bottom
Then bring me back up
PBR crack another as you attack a brother
Miss the point
Mistake make another
About
Exactly what I do and make reference to
Wrist band rockin the black frames
Monoto-nous unzip the lips
Got cha' spittin little globs
And gabsin' while T-shirt shoppin
for pop culture relics
Finger click the webzine
keen eye you embellish
trucker hat tilted to a white trash obsession
no mullet
100 dollar hair beautifully pressed and
Constructin/ buildings/ big enough to rupture
this cardboard structure we get kept under
I'm callin ya'll out cuz I was just like yall
or so I thought
Till somebody passed me the ball

About
Exactly what I do and make reference to
Now go run to/ the used vinyl basket
Go run to/ the unfeeling tragic
sarcastic/ underaverage
Overbearing/ overcritical/ circular
Smug/ surveying cmj integers/ evading love
Riddling/ blobbity/ blobbity/ lookin for errors
Like bombity/ a calamity of college camp characters
Engaging in weekly essay contest
Constructing cute couplets about social conquest
But socially inept/ crackin jokes at every step
So righteous only out for they damn neck
The type to read the whole book cover to cover
But cant comprehend the meaning of the words that they utter
I callin you out cuz I was just like yall
Or so I thought
Till I somebody passed me the ball

Exactly what I do and make reference to
We call this thing hip hop
One, twos and the don't stops
Don't got no big club house
Some need to get kicked out
It's a plain fact/ that power gotta get took back
why I'm 'posed to listen to Brian Nemtusak
jockin zev love x but he'd probably diss you
you aint hear peach-fuzz till the kmd reissue
Who got the biggest verbs?
whose got the biggest words?
it's a one legged race to see who's the biggest nerd

Then bring me back up
PBR have another as you attack a brother
