MC Escher - Momus

MC Escher

The impossible rapper

Ain’t nobody does it better

Under pressure

MC Escher

He’s so clever

Gives you pleasure

Forever

The conventions of rap dictate that every MC who takes the mic

Claims to be the best, fills his set with hype

It’s OTT

But if we imagine a world where every MC really is

Badder and fresher than every other

It just gets madder and madder

One of those rooftop salmon ladders drawn by…

MC Escher

The impossible rapper

Ain’t nobody does it better

Under pressure

MC Escher

He’s so clever

Gives you pleasure

Forever

So watch the water flow round and round

Without the need for pressure

This world of perpetual motion

Is just a beautiful illusion

MC Escher

The impossible rapper

Ain’t nobody does it better

Under pressure

MC Escher

He’s so clever

Gives you pleasure

Forever

Karl Marx and Biz Markie would probably agree

Equality has yet to make much of a mark on the world of the MC

Spin the turntable round and round

He’s got a Boss Dr Sample underground

He’s got a bag full of patterns to give the ladies pleasure

It’s the rise and fall and rise of the house of Escher

Ain’t nobody does it better

Not MC Eric Satie or MC Franz Kafka

Gives you pleasure forever
