Demon in a Suit

Devil in a new dress, demon in a suit
Monster has his slacks pressed, goblin attire astute
If you think I'm so pomp, check my circumstance
Graduation cap making me feel like a freaking champ
I've been doing this since 2008 or whenever
And steadily, exponentially, I've been getting more clever
In the next degree, about to earn a diploma
Making up for restless nights with weekend comas
What have I earned? A couple of new stripes
A few dozen scars and a bundle package of what's right
A slip of paper with some writing in English old
And I finally got that dream undeterred: sold!
In and out of so many identities
I guess in the end all I can hope is for you to remember me
And my enemies, and my memories
Can all live safely in my heart, is this the end to be?
Jack of all trades, and a master of some
I'm running out of time faster than a bullet leaves a gun
My chest is a barrel, my Sunday best apparel
Tumbling down the rabbit hole, understand me Lewis Carrol?
My rap beats are track meets, yeah I run it back
You can't match me in khakis, please cut some slack
Valedictorian, I've got a four point flow
Magic eight crystal ball: because I'm always in the know
Check my principle, I've been split so much I'm indivisible
Look at me so confident when yesterday I was pitiful
Quite pathetic, would you look at that?
But I always come out on top like a hat
And I can bust a rap, El Gordito
It's always sunny like my name is De Vito
And I'm not just ignorant, I can clearly see the rain
But I'm spitting fire and I'm thinking flames
And what is my freaking name? It's not just Alex Dang
It's not just that feeling when you want so much you start to pang
It isn't Alexander, it's something grander
It's the moment when the crowd is in a bonanza
Even when I talk George Castanza
I'm walking this steady like a German Wanzer
The poetic epic and rhetoric of a goddamn boss
My speech can impeach presidents, oh my gosh!
Are you at a loss? Well here, have some words
I can concur that this nerd can rhyme absurd
Yes he's a hero, yes he's a zero
Yes he's making more money than Robert Deniro
Showin' that Ronin is blowin' and smokin'
Game controller, down right fierce: hadoken!
Sharp collared shirt, tie ammunition clip
I'm obviously dressing to kill, aiming for that gossip
Freshman year trying to figure out what it meant
Sophomore year thinking that I'm at my 100 percent
Junior year taking on the greatest stress load
Senior year is a great occasion, look at the dress code
Second Semester Senior Status Slide is a great dance
Best to be done by hundreds of people if you get the chance!
Enjoy it while you can, revel so incredible
Time is ticking down but at least I got a new bezel

Grizzly Heir

Guess who's on the microphone? Mr. Samurai
Dressing like a gentlemen, mouth never civilized
Never speaking civil lies, only have you satisfied
I'm a big pun the way that I chastised
Running all the way to the top and slip off the backside
When I'm alone call it the King and I
Yes I'm in the house like a bill being ratified
What's next? Gratify. Then what? A Badder lie
But I'm only speaking the truth, hand on the bible
Breakfast is oath-meal, honesty is my style
Yes I walk that walk, and I talk that talk
Yes you stalk that stalk, and I'm dope like a pound of chalk
Wanna get to know me so you leaf through my facebook
I'm not that hard to catch but I am still off the hook
No I won't propose but I can lord over your ring
You can be on my arm, call you my cast and sling
No more shots, retired and recovering cupid
Skinny jeans cuffed up and my Nikes loosened
Asian kid in hipster clothes doing some rap?
I'm the epitome of America, melting pot: that's a fact
Product of my society, mirror to something bigger
Readily equipped with punchlines and some kickers
What am I? Self-aware. What am I? Help and share
What am I? Long black hair. What's this? Rap over Grizzly Bear!

I am so different, new breath of fresh air
The reason why I'm doing this is because that I really care
This is just a hobby, maybe something more
I'm so cold because of all these open windows and doors
Opportunity is in, asleep on my couch
He's staying until he can feel he can step out
So assume it's for a while, I don't even mind
Might as well brush up on trigonometry: cosine
Not being cute, and I'm not staring obtuse
Coming at this from all angles, protractor use
This is imaginary? I will make it real
I've got FDR bars: yes I'm a new deal
Oh you think it's silly? Loosen up you pickle jar
Wish upon me for some change. Call me a nickel star
Rap about my real life and about some real jokes
You think you can flow? I'll show you real strokes
Trying to do something authentic and original
Rocking out like geologists, healthier than minerals
Check out my chemistry, I'm in my element
Rule number 34, I'm always relevant
How old am I? Enough to make a decision
Only speaking accurately with expert precision
Style on credit union: yes I am so On-Point
I am still dope and blunt kind of like a joint

You're only as good as your attitude
Transmogrifier set to a bragging dude
But I can still show my gratitude
I've got such a confident magnitude
Yes my latitude is flier than a rocket grill
Shakespeare and I pen rhymes with pens and quills
Make Asian jokes until you get your fill
Call me Kim Jong: I've got a license to ill
