GG x RATATAT (Rappertag #40)

Lyrics

[Intro] Hello? Yeah, I'm good, man Just in recordin' my mixtape at the moment Grey Ghost, yeah, yeah Hey? The Rapper Tag? Well… yeah, I could chuck it on there All right, well, yeah, I'm in the studio With Matik right now so I can do it, I'ma do it right now Check you later, okay, bye, bye, bye [Verse] Check it out, it's the intergalactic cat Gotta tip my hat 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 mattеr, man 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, 'causе 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 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 Thanks 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 killin' instrumentals 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 (Ha ha ha) 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
