Intro

Yo, steps freezin’ like Cambridge wind hittin’ the block Voice note dump ’bout the Lampoon writer who changed the clock

Verse 1

Harvard Yard scholar with the absurd pen flame Lampoon pages drippin’ parody, literary street game While others chase stages for punchlines and clout He buried deep in concepts wilder than corner store routes Boston chill bite through coats, ink on frostbit hands Sketch room grind, escalatin’ stories across the land Deadass, awkward energy turned weapon in the fight Own the weird first, they can’t box you outta sight

Pre-chorus

SNL pads to Simpsons pads, high concept elevation Musical satire blowin’ up, no basic conversation

Chorus

Harvard hood scholar, pen flippin’ absurd, awkward but it bangs, it bangs Self-roast king daily, industry lames get exposed, no fangs, no fangs Late night broke the mold, made himself the punchline straight, collaborative slang, slang Writers room to front desk, curiosity the chain, long form gang, long form gang Harvard absurd king, king, wild concepts reign supreme, reign supreme Tried to lock the vision, he bust out, pain to dream, pain to dream Podcast long breath, guests unfold free, real talk no campaign, no campaign That’s the hustle we chase from these stairs to the fame

Verse 2

Thick studio air, stale coffee mixed with late night stress Experimental bits droppin’, awkward dynamic he finesse Not actin’ smooth authority like the other hosts do Positioned as the joke, let the room breathe true Marge vs monorail, characters wildin’ on the track High concept escalation, never goin’ back Systemic: Industry want polished, scripted, same old flow He brought bizarre truth, let the strange energy grow

Pre-chorus

Build the rep, character arcs sharp like switchblade glow

Chorus

Verse 3

2009 pressure, Tonight throne war gettin’ tense Public on the control, integrity over the fence Ain’t fade quiet, aired the setback, fans built the fence Legally prohibited tour, grass roots connect immense Heart pound like block nights when the dream get bent

Bridge

Low point hit different, cracked the path like winter concrete System tried to bury the vision, but the real couldn’t delete I feel it in these hallways, young hope on its knees But bounce different, flip the L to a different breed

Verse 4

Now podcast era, long form, no promo script rush Guests paint they own picture, he shares too, keep it lush Vulnerability out front, curiosity the main thrust Stands different in the game, no fake interviewer dust

Verse 5

From East Coast school steps, young but block aged wise Study the Harvard hood path, reject the mid, open eyes Personal: Adopt the absurd armor in these streets Systemic: Industry need more real over the repeats

Outro

Harvard hood scholar locked, echo through the stairwell Embrace the bizarre truth, write your own story, excel No cap.
