Story Behind the Song
Mike and I were in two separate cities when we wrote this song. We each recorded our parts onto the computer and Mike mixed it all together. It was all put together in about a day, with some re-mixing afterwards.
Lyrics
Another rip in the fabric of the space and the time continuum
No sooner are the girlies into me than I'll be into em
One swing of the pendulum, initiate the whoop-ass
Pass the mic to Shel cause ain't nobody rap as good as
I'm the master of Philology, no apology
high quality, I love it when the crowd they cold applaudin' me
Mike's high in validity, his own epitome
You think you won the race and then you wonder "how'd he get ahead of me?"
He'll put you out your misery, prepare to meet your maker
Rap's Jack Kevorkian, lyrical euthanasia
Got more flavour than a crate of Jello gelatin
Mike, get on the mic, give em a taste of Mella Mellatin
No stubble on my chin cause I shave the face
Before I ate my steak, wait to say grace
Stole your laptop, erased the database
And causin' anal-rapes with my Promark 808's
I rate as high as Plato rates, and here's my philosophy:
I may work for you but ain't no way that you're the boss of me
Get off of me, delicacy recipe, open sesame
I'll make a livin' doin' this if it's the death of me
Spin my deadly disc, but I'm not Tron
Sublime, with the rhyme, all the time, I'm on
Amadeus Radio, Acadia: we'll play for you
Hypin' the main event, I'm rap's Wrestle Mania
You gotta pay my pal and me top salary
He's contagious as a malady, I'm the cult of personality
Fact not fallacy, I'm gettin' callous, see? Jack-the-Rippery
Watch your step, the slope's gettin' slippery
Chorus:
They got us in the bars in the clubs on the pub crawl
Third Man Form's here, throw your hands up y'all
We write the stanza everybody's fans of
Cold Bill Minorin' Throw your hands up
Third Man's formin', bein' reborn and
Like Ali, I bee, you'll find me swarmin'
King of the ring, I'm the hunter collectin' bounty
The quicker-picker-upper not the coward of the county
Got lots of fans, I'm the beater on the pots and pans
The beaver on the tops of dams
Flip a nickel-coin, maple-leaf is on a penny
Even when I gamble with Kenny I'm never losin' any
Big like a tsunami, who the fuck is Tommy?
Ed, you're sellin' sweepstakes, so where the fuck is Johnny?
You know that I'm the rudest, especially when I do this
You're trippin', I'm cripplin', discipline of a Buddhist
Locust, I'll show you how dope this local is
Done of drums this time, I'm the fucking vocalist
"I hit em like a freight train" You like a spitball
Stephen Hawking's even rocking: "Kick the wicked shit, y'all..."
My Man Mella is a natural, must be something in his chromosomes
Got Tina's head a-turnin' riding on his thunderdome
We got the songwriting credits, do all our own work and
We'll soon be featured on Biography with Jack Perkins
That's on Arts and Entertainment, A&E for short
And you know we're in the game, call us E.A. Sport
I might move to New York cause I got mad cat-skills
Make some fat bills, then go to Gotham and see how the Bat chills...
Chorus
You hit the ground with a thud when I throw ya
Y'all are gonna drown in the flood and I'm noah
These days I wonder what the matter is, rapping now is hazardous
I'm bringing rap back from the dead -- pull a Christ on that Lazarus
So thus spoke Zarathustra,
You want a hit single? "Yeah!" let me produce ya
Stepped inside, "You're the one!" they cried
Pray for me Mary; I've succumbed to pride
This is a never-ending story no dragon no Atrayu
Third Man may be new to you, but really this is phase II
Conductin' things proper, buildin' up the energy
We're Domingo and Pavarotti, and Matt can be our tenor three
It's what I do it for, to and fro, fifty years ago
I was in New Mexico, shot me down a UFO
An alien hailin' from Zeta Reticuli
Disqualify you, only I fit the curriculi
Extracurricular, mean as Mengele, plural or singular
Torturin' you, a la Caligula
I'll show you what the beat's for, 1 2 3 4
You gotta come and see Shel by the sea shore
Nat Imbruglia's all that and a bag of chips
I'll make you wag your hips, stealin' flags from ships
Our beats be shipped out the country like a mother fucking exodus
Labels using FedEx to send the fucking cheques to us
Third Man Form'll be around for and eon,
You're just a passing fad your icon's neon
Let bygones be gone, this mission ain't a recon
You niggaz are just playin' apparition' to my Egon'
Renderin' you powerless, on account of all y'all's cowardice
Yes I'm white but leave vanilla out of this
Judge us on our own criteria, we're scarin' niggaz shitless
Givin' em diarrhea, the sickness
You achoo, I bless you, and pass you the tissues
We got more chicks than a million swimsuit issues...
Chorus
