'Cause I'm heartbroken
From my heart flow
Dryden and Byron, Shelly and Keats
Recited it over some hip-hop beats.
Read some Byron, Shelley and Keats
Recited it over some hip-hop beats.
I was gonna lay down for you.
I was gonna lay it down for you.
I'm having trouble saying why to me
With deaf poets and drum machines
You know I had some studio time books
But I couldn't find the killer Hunk
I'm having trouble saying what I mean
With dead poets and drum machines
You know I had some studio time booked
But I couldn't find the killer Hook
Met some fire, Shelly and Keats
Resided in over M.R.3.
Read some Byron, Shelley, and Keats
Recited it over a hip-hop beat.
Never rhymes, see you later.
Clever rhymes, see you later.
Read some Byron, Shelly and Keith.
Read some Byron, Shelley and Keats.
Read somethin' by Alicia Keys
Recited it over a hip-hop beat.
Read some Byron, Shelley, and Keats
Recited it over a hip-hop beat.
Recited it over a M.R.B
Recited it over a hip-hop beat.
There's no other way, stupid bear say, I love you.
There's no other way to better say, I love you.
There's no other way
To beds are safe.
There's no other way
To better say
There's no other way
Two beds are safe.
There's no other way
To better say.
Tried to f*** with my intentions.
Tried to focus my intentions.
Tried to write a plastic
Trying to write a classic
Went to bars with Shelley and Keith
Read some Byron, Shelley and Keats.
