Who is he? i see this new MC at UBC
My crew’s musical duty’s addressing student needs
Ooooh wee, if you need some proof from me
Gambino’s an RA too I do this for my Community
Grew a bit since the last music thing, cool with me
Tryna get a little buzz...on my microbrewery
Ain’t nothing new; i just found some unity
With Gabe White on the sticks, comin' for the W, plus my dude is G
Usuallydown for shows to do for free now
Putting money into constructing, something like the SUB
Really this is something that i do to free
Duties, values, and views…with hopes to fuse you and me
Sushi at the eatery, i’m dishing raps unusually
All up in your head phones, all up in your ubyssey
Love to the few who knew of me, but cats ain't used to me
“Have you seen Francis spit?”, they still going "who the F you mean?”
Blue chip off the old block letting loose like it's LDOC
Back out of my blunders, i’m just tryna let these BARS talk
Underdog undergrad...understand it’s been a long while
I’m still connecting with my campus -- wind mobile
Oh wow, this funk’s dirtier than Pit evenings
Kinder Morgan, and sleeping in irving during exam season
Dreams of candor for the canon — find any man to listen
I got lost while i was building, yelling which Buchanan is this?
When you see the way i strip it down, i wreck beats
I’m the campus coyote, lurking down the next street
Cats bite this viciousness i’m spittin with
No matter where i tear it up, Big Wolf on Campus the syndicate
Runnin rampant ridiculous, been rappin the syllabus
Run the talk as the Terry kids, get with the nimbleness
I don’t just school cats, here to change the curriculum
I can’t stay quiet, i don’t see no equivalent
'pologies, i'm preposterous. try to balance some confidence
Share observations, patience, thought-provoking hypothesis
Bonding True Confessions, some life lessons and common sense
Until i’m Overheard, maybe that equals some Compliments
ATM, i won’t soften more --- new meaning to freshman
I’m out here out classing cats — Calendar is in session
Like AGM - student voice gon be setting a precedent
Guessing Gupta’s got game, Drake was less than my president
--what is succeeding on an unceded settlement
What do achievements hooold when they’re left to some questioning
If we just focus on grades, is class really testing kids?
This for conversations, friendships, and mentorships
In hip hop, i wonder where intelligence— and gender fits
At these crossroads, wonder what my intersection is
I’m learning bout loss, love, and being better feminists
The calling as a male voice is to check our messages
I’m still underground, knowing you dig these deep views
Allo hollows his own tunnel so he can let steam through
I swoop in, getting pumped like dudes at the bird coop
I hold these lines nice, i’m the dude at the bus loop
Ain’t tryna be a star, crafting at Irving, i’m working
Late in the laaab, worm in your ear like a zergling
I know my assignment when i'm doing the math, it’s urgent
I’m uploading some tracks — why can’t I get the WebWorking
Organic and homegrown, i’m rapping Community eats
I should be a crime, call CSI&see
But how can i stay grounded, and impress with some talent
I press these students from the left.. shout out to The Talon
It’s undeclared that i’m major -- hot as whitespots on tuesdays
I get angry at your liiiiines, like them ladies at subway
I’ve been up late like the Naam, now i’m storming your wall
---posting, I go Tommy Nixon; I’m Kris Young when I rock
My rap— game’s doctorate, to the point you think that i doctored this
But that — ain’t stopping us --- cross the campus, we partner up
You slack— lines, had enough — tightrope rocker, startin up
Don’t lack— brains, creme the crop — UBC farm should harvest us
Some days, i lock up in my room and stare at the canvas
And some days, i wanna meet people, strolling on my campus
I’m either sleeping, hangin, learning, dreaming of shows
Tryna be first stop for these students like it’s allison road
Leave echoes in your circles, i’ve been here since the start
From the jump - jamming on your campus, stomping the yard
And nardwuar isn't the only person here with the smarts
On the mic -- bringing raw heat to your CITR
I’ve been -- lost on my path, i got stuck on the steps
Cuz i had some Blank Vinyls and Passion to project
My kababayans brought me in, i was starting sweat
Til i got settled, and started making UBC Connect
This is for the gallery, benny’s, and boulevard
This is for rappers without borders who be bringing the bars
This is for the jam fam, for making local sounds
This is for poetry slams, this is for global lounge
This is for acappella and every singer-song writer
This for class act, and every all nighter
This for jaguar, laydy jams doing fine
This is for mike on the mic, he's my partner in rhyme
This for sam d, my friends and my family
For getting overly competitive in my rec league
This is for that dude who said that he wasn't feeling me
This for hearing you can't rap, you're from the philippines
This for chicken shawarma in the basement, this is for health
This for finding love when i most hated myself
This for writing verses instead of writing my papers
This for finding curses, finding blessings in them later
This for every open mic and petty poem no one liked
And for funkdirty at fortune, jamming every other night
For every activist who hold mics and those in their own right
Whenever it's darkest, those who bring their own light
This for sending that message, never getting that reply
This for finding your voice, and never getting to vocalize
Sitting inside quiet nights, having homies by your side
For being scared of loving, and bringing yourself to try
For being scared of living, not just being scared to die
For contemplating suicide, and for choosing to stay alive
For finding life by playing live
And this is for learning which verses to drop
Ain't just a drop in the universe, we're the universe in a drop
The thunderbird is the word, have you heard of our names
The way we're on the rise, why ain't our mascot a crane, playin'
These MC’s run when i'm walking this way
And talking this strange, got me working harder for play
So when i’m graduating, and i’ll be walking the stage
To celebrate, i’ll snatch the mic and start rocking the stage
Tl;dr — at the best, this’ll blow up on reddit
Iunno which doors will open, life is like aquatics centre
At the least, watch this to procrastinate better
I know y’all are just really looking for chili peppers
Place and time
What should we call UBC, I AM A STUDENT so this Place is Mine
Whatever you wanna do, do the best
When you get the platform what are you gonna do with it, Tuum est
