Track addressing why and how the ConCERNed project came into being
lyrics
May Concern pt 1
Verse 1
You ever tried to explain something you knew that people couldn't see?
What good is write, when you don't understand the books you read,
That's what I used to be concerned with
I guess I'm like CERN a bit...how could I be?
Cos in reality, that's not the gravity.
I never grew from a huge nuclear family.
But Charlie bucket and the subatomic factory;
I always say I'm smashing if they ask me, "what the matter be?"
Just to help you understand,
I was literally picturing the big bang theory, no Sheldon and the gang.
When the world devise plan
For a model of such stands of beauty, how I truly not held her the hand?
In my world it's what you know or what you're shown,
Or live that Schrödinger and tell um both.
They ask how I know and what it is.
I call it Harry Potter and the science of the Higgs.
(Chorus)
So to who it may concern I see things a bit differently.
Not everything I'm trying to show you is literally
If it's something where my brain is
I might struggle to explain it
And we can either see my world, or yours
So here's my world...What's yours?
If it's something where my brain is
I might struggle to explain it
Verse 2
They're trying to tell me that science is to rap, like dance is for violence,
but art is to science, like guidance is for maps,
like laughter's for crying, like hearts is to diamonds,
they can't interact unless they pass the requirements.
Opposites attract when you start to collide them.
But start collide them your mind will blow
The large hadron kaleidoscope
My rhyme is like if Einstein wrote bars for jokes.
This is the Salvador Dali science approach.
But since it matters let me up the ante,
A hint matter anti-matter with a touch of Banksy.
A wonderland fit for Alice but still nothing fancy
And I grew up with the sort lessons,
From that 'Wu is for the children' message, blessings
I'd rather Noble prize, than to go and sell lies.
This is a show and tell slide that could blow the world's
(Chorus)
May concern pt 2.
What does it take to be the next?
What does it take to be the next?
But what does it take to be the best?
My life isn't what they suggest.
I come from 2 world's equally, the starving working class scenery,
But pass academics the grass is always greenery
A past chapter of scars that made my heart blacker.
Cos we believe in the stars but not the dark matter.
Equate, substitute, change up the route this,
The same dude you gave nothing, I made something through.
The E = mc squared up to get um,
Because knowledge is power, that one over oppression,
A street urchin of research until I preach works,
Each verse absolute zero degree burns
Attractions they face, see the planet laid waste,
But my magnet's a lot more than in a Faraday cage.
The Higgs to matter of gifted rappers, I live the passion,
To split the atom to bits with a linguistic fashion,
A Paul Dirac of multi syllable rap,
I saw through the matrix, I was entrapped, that's why I'm never going back.
What does it take to be the next
What does is it take to be the next
What does it take to be the best?
The new wave shifting through the Doppler effect,
This is the truth given Newton's, they will rise again,
A 5%er the 99%,
An A/V revolution through world Wide connects,
Consensus through music at Art at CMS
A first rate vet in the birth place of Web, thoughtful,
Conditions we grew up in were awful,
It's the rhyme immortal with a portal to new law form,
Their gravity's been way to forceful.
How am I there from what I've been through?
I say 'it came from a friend of a friend, because that's what friends do'.
In the end it depends on what you choose to take and learn,
But only a few can make it work, that's to who it may concern...
