The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

It was late one night i was digging in the garden

Shovel hit something that was cold and hard and

The eyes stared back and i knew it was dead

It was a zombified hip-hop-head

It was a zombified hip-hop-head

It was a zombified hip-hop-head

It was a zombified hip-hop-head

It was a zombified hip-hop-head

Jonny 5:

To quote the grouch, "i cannot lie and say i've rapped since eighty five"

But me i haven't even rhymed since ninety two

But doncha get sick of defining who's

Real hip hop headz

Mostly white pimples poppin up and down and up and down

Tryin hard to look tough and frownin

If i interrupt'em now and ask

Why do you look so pissed? why do you act so mad? why do you rap so bad?

Could it be this? could it be you're mad at the bronx block parties that you missed?

Mad money that you spend to pretend to reminisce

I remember just the other day when i first heard criminal minded

Does it seem like yesterday guess you'd say that cuz it was

Copywrite in eighty-eight, reprint in 97

Willie nelson was the only tape i'd heard when i was eleven

Rap wasn't big in denver then,

I reflect on prior years and respect the pioneers but i can't remember them

You're assembling memory ram drive analyze scanning simulacra splicing acrobatics sacrificing soul

Cramping smile mustles lips locked dead

Extended arms limp zombified hip hop headz

Chorus (x2):

Boast and brag, boast and brag never scratching the surface

Underground track no train and no purpose

Boast and brag, boast and brag to anonymous fans

Zombified hip-hop headz n da sand

Brent:

Yo this is brent, and now it's like everybody raps

See i'm pretty new myself and i think i know the haps

But these new jacks givin me crap react wack

When i move for a pound all i get is a slap

I givem dap like tryta be nice and say "word up"

But they start talkin bout rappas i never heard of

Sayin i can't scratch and sayin i spin wack

What is this? a movement, test, trend, or trap?

My best friend's japanese exchange student

Loves rap'n he's explained some things dude it's strange

Who'd a thought hip hop was universal

I just hope it doesn't get too commercial

Cuz sometimes labels control the whole thing

We need to take it back to the sugar hill gang

Cuz man in japan it's a fad like heavy metal

But they don't understand what it's like in the ghetto

Chorus (x2):

Boast and brag, boast and brag never scratching the surface

Underground track no train and no purpose

Boast and brag, boast and brag to anonymous fans

Zombified hip-hop headz n da sand

Mc hiphop:

Ore wa m c h i p h o p

On za maiku en za puresu chu bii

Furee sutairu doki doki shinai

Kaeru toki rapu fuan dokodemo aeru to ki gatsuku

Mukatsuku ! juku demo, inak demo, zenin wa baka yarou.

Dono tokoro de mo, denbaa, osaka. genba kokoro no naka.

Yakara kane no tame, mane yatte!

Chimburando katte! "b-boy da"-te nan yarou! wakaranyarou!

Donkan na farowarusu, gambarou!!!!

Chorus (x4):

Boast and brag, boast and brag never scratching the surface

Underground track no train and no purpose

Boast and brag, boast and brag to anonymous fans

Zombified hip-hop headz n da sand

It was a zombified hip-hop-head

It was a zombified hip-hop-head

It was a zombified hip-hop-head

It was a zombified hip-hop-head

It was a zombified hip-hop-head

It was a zombified hip-hop-head

It was a zombified hip-hop-head

It was a zombified hip-hop-head

It was a zombified hip-hop-head

It was a zombified hip-hop-head
