This is the first track on my SmaBoi Freshman LP, titled “S. M. A. B. O. I.“
The track and the LP have the same title. Something cool about the track titles: they spell out “SmaBoi” going down, and then, back in reverse to the last track. I’ve also done some interesting alliteration in the lyrics.
Conscious Rap from an Indie Hiphop Artist
Lyrics for S. M. A. B. O. I.
Track One of the S.M.A.B.O.I. LP
VERSE 1
Gimme a microphone, put me in front of a crowd
Step in my cyclone, if ya wanna get loud
Spot me a light, n I’mma break new ground, baby
You gon’ need methadone once ya tasted my sound, cuz
I’m straight outta infinity and you’ll never get rid of me
I play out a divinity, ever clever, consider me
the trinity in a piece of each atom you ever seen
Set a scene, n then imagine better days come ahead of theseMy technique’s sexy, stand up, I rock the realest beats
Cash checks, get your hands up, if you feelin’ me
Get wrecked, get rough, bump ’til the ceiling weak
Press to the front, feel the thump, subwoofer heat
Examine an animated adamant kinda animal
Insatiable appetite to waxin’ over-grammatical
I’m back, makin’ beats, breakin’ tracks, I’m off sabbatical
Amassin’ an army, and we takin this multi-national!CHORUS
Bump dat beat like Steve Aoki
Write tight hooks with a catchy trochee
Got bite so it sticks in ya head, is so key cuz it
Make ya wanna sing it at karaoke
Every note, wrote bespoke, evokes baroque themes
I go for broke, get stoked, support the home team
Broke the host, awoke the holy ghost invokin’ da flow, these
Garrote n choke throats of slow jokes, I’m O.G.S-pecially blessed at expressin’ a message so fresh
M-pressin pen to paper, layin’ the haters to rest
Able and ready to chop like machetes, and turn the competitors into confetti, and
Becomin’ a legend, who’s beggin’ the question what’s next
Open the door, it’s only moments before I premiere
I am the lore, the myth, the chosen, the sorcerer near…Time to rise, looks like this is the year
When every person alive cheers, SmaBoi right here!VERSE 2
Give me your love, and I will give you my everything
Push comes to shove, you know that I would do anything
For my boiz and girls, who been chasin’ a better dream
To take over the world, so we can set up a better scene
I only hold a mirror showin’ clearer what’s dear to me as
My soul breathes out its spirit, flowin’ into our destiny, n
I don’t have every answer, but I got a good recipe, it’s like
Blessed be the one who treats his brother with empathy, so
Tell me how you find this as I rhyme it, cuz
Too many been spineless, are you one of the mindless?
Uncannily, I’m scannin’ nooks n crannies for intelligence,
And none presentin’ evidence this element is prevelent
Cuz everyone I know is so content to miss the elephant
That’s loomin’ in the room to spell our doom, it’s got me hella bent
Prophecies unlocked, Mephistopheles got me eloquent
And I brought my whole regiment, we strikin’ back, we heaven sent!CHORUS
Bump dat beat like Steve Aoki
Write tight hooks with a catchy trochee
Got bite so it sticks in ya head, is so key cuz it
Make ya wanna sing it at karaoke
Every note, wrote bespoke, evokes baroque themes
I go for broke, get stoked, support the home team
Broke the host, awoke the holy ghost invokin’ da flow, these
Garrote n choke throats of slow jokes, I’m O.G.S-pecially blessed at expressin’ a message so fresh
M-pressin pen to paper, layin’ the haters to rest
Able and ready to chop like machetes, and turn the competitors into confetti, and
Becomin’ a legend, who’s beggin’ the question what’s next
Open the door, it’s only moments before I premiere
I am the lore, the myth, the chosen, the sorcerer near…Time to rise, looks like this is the year
When every person alive cheers, SmaBoi right here!VERSE 3
No matter the venue, there ain’t a lyricist real as me
Got an attitude, come at me dude, you’ll feel the agility
Cuz I rap with exactitude, and imbued wit ability
Far head of the multitudes, and ain’t anyone near to me
Cuz I’m peerless, I’m fearless, and you gon’ hear this
The sincerest spirit, crystal clear coherence
I’m reckless, wreck this, so expect to get breathless
Infectious, check this, my inflection’s restless
You could make me a target, just put me in the reticle
Let’s see how far we get, martyred right on schedule
I’d happily expire if the people would rise up
Cuz humanity dies, if mother Gaia should dry up
It’s a crisis existential, and it makes me temperamental
This is no time to be gentle, because Earth is not a rental
If we want another century, then act like it was meant to be
We’re oligarchy’s enemy, let’s not be just a memory!CHORUS
Bump dat beat like Steve Aoki
Write tight hooks with a catchy trochee
Got bite so it sticks in ya head, is so key cuz it
Make ya wanna sing it at karaoke
Every note, wrote bespoke, evokes baroque themes
I go for broke, get stoked, support the home team
Broke the host, awoke the holy ghost invokin’ da flow, these
Garrote n choke throats of slow jokes, I’m O.G.S-pecially blessed at expressin’ a message so fresh
M-pressin pen to paper, layin’ the haters to rest
Able and ready to chop like machetes, and turn the competitors into confetti, and
Becomin’ a legend, who’s beggin’ the question what’s next
Open the door, it’s only moments before I premiere
I am the lore, the myth, the chosen, the sorcerer near…Time to rise, looks like this is the year
When every person alive cheers, SmaBoi right here!

What’s SmaBoi all about, and why haven’t I heard of this indie rapper?
I write lots of political material and conscious rap tracks, using superhuman syncopation to bring the station of the nation out of altercations and into illumination.
Sometimes I do stuff built around beatboxing and human sounds, with live-looping, especially at music festivals. Other times I blend genres, bending ghetto funk, soul, rap, jazz, blues, disco, and traditional EDM / mainroom / dubstep / drum ‘n bass sounds with my hiphop to create a unique flavor.
If I had to sum up my genre of music in one word, it would be Tribalcore (and that’s why it’s the title of my next album, coming later this year in 2019!)
I’m taking indie, nerdcore, activist hiphop to a whole new level, and I want you to come along for the ride with me! Make sure to sign up for the mailing list while you’re here.
