**Mad Science (funky49 Bad Science cover) science minded, innovative by nature slip into a rant you need a translator rambling monologues compile my thoughts scattered brain framed the flaws of my creator [beat drops] got tools now, i can rebuild me no science comes guaranteed remolded my brain like floam replaced my heart with a metronome lab's under parental house like Dexter hydrogen-bond my beats like an ester up late in rooms full with GNDN tubes program robots to solve Rubix cubes I don't expect you to buy this, but what I got for real is Mad Science! I don't expect you to buy this, but what I got for real is Mad Science! [beat drops] (chorus) mad mad mad mad mad mad MAD SCIENCE x4 eureka .... just solved a verse don't know if it's programed enough to work isolation produces lyrics out of touch, just wanna hold ya'll in my musical clutch euphony, doesn't have to be, the played out story of conformity sex, drugs and cash are all up in rap do you think I care who's girlfriend you fraked? thats not new, neither is this sound infection has spread to the underground so call me crazy, i stand in defiance what I really want is some weird science CHORUS I'm fearless, embraced my insanity ,lost marbles, a symptom of humanity came to terms, gave the finger to Freud now I'm Back to the Future like Christopher Lloyd no method, I'm a Ghost in a Shell death pored from blue wrists and heart-rate fell when i woke up in hell, it was same as before used blood soaked arms to pull my corpse off the floor, not dead or alive, zombie walk to the car reckless like bruce wayne, I've got 5 stars. it seems to me, every time i re-spawn just a little bitty bit of my sanity's gone regardless my hold on life doesn't slip weakens the hand of my reality grip add one part genius, to techno reliance mix with alienation and you've got MAD SCIENCE CHORUS Mad Science orignally by Fanatical aka Jaylyn Coffin. (I've always liked it and thought a cover/reworking of her tune would fit in well to the MOSI Tampa/Rapbassador EP)

about

This album was made to promote Tampa's Museuem of Science and Industry. julia @brandtampa.com was getting people to help promote MOSI Tampa online, including their new exhibit Body Worlds, as part of a "Virtual Ambassadorship". I'm not much of a blogger but I knew how to make some beats and rhymes! I appointed myself the unofficial rapbassador. (rap+ambassador) If I can get one extra person to Tampa's MOSI... then its worth it!

I've been the Chicago's MOSI, the Franklin Institute in Philly and the Deutsches Museum in Munich. I want MOSI Tampa to shine the brightest! Be sure to follow @mositampa on Twitter!

Thank you for listening!
