about

Science Like Us: Samples include “Funky Drummer” by James Brown’s drummer, Clyde Stubblefield. Inspired by the rap songs that are essentially the Funky Drummer loop and some horn hits. My horn hits and vocal stabs were taken from Tower of Power. Awesome bass guitar provided by redvoid. Some scratching by funky49 on @alignbetween’s turntables/records.

lyrics

[verse1]
i got sci, come fly with me, to the moon
you don't got sci, you fly to your doom
funk in the lab, downloads by the googleplex
when it comes to learning I say, What's Next?
sit the dogma, stand up, time to listen
time to be a knowledgeable, world citizen
in addition to whatever you wanna be
science or nothing, whats it gonna be?

[hook]
no one in the lab got science like us
science like us, sci-science like us
no one in the lab got science like us
science like us, sci-science like us
what do you got? WE GOT SCIENCE!
what do you got? WE GOT SCIENCE!
what do you got? WE GOT SCIENCE!
no one in the lab got science like us!

[verse2]
what's the story morning glory, four
nine in the laboratory, log ya journals,
bunsen burner HOT, better watch your ass
hot glass looks like cold glass
mass in action, jumpin off Periodic Tables
i'm a force, capable and able
rhyme collider Batavia Fresh Prince
Sirius bright, I know you like this
Luminosity on the increase
like the Tevatron, no mean feat
explode like supernova on the mic
like quantum physics I'm out of sight
like a cylinder son, i'm graduated
USF bachelor's matriculated
still learnin I'm a student forever
brain in gear so I can stay clever

[bridge]
aiight ya'll
let me hear your favorite part of the ATOM
Is it the neutron?
what about some proton love?
SOMEBODY SAY MY ELECTRON!!!

[verse3]
patient observation for explanation
phenomenon, worthy of your notation
formulate question for testin' you don't know,
cause right now you're just guesin' but
trust me, gotta create hypothesis
answer possibility for testing see you're
groovin, experiment now approvin'
or disprovin' so come to your conclusion

[hook]
