Digestible Lyrics & Chords By The Ernies

after the show a week or so ago
this kid stepped up to me and he said,
"Why do they let you on the
microphone? You drop no science,
and your lyrics don't flow..." You know
I didn't wanna have to bust up his
head or go and mess around and leave
his ego for dead but I said, "There's
something more incredible, the
universe entertaining itself in a
way that's digestible"
I want something real
It's digestible
What use do people have for lyrical
play if it's not talking about what's
going on today so do your most to obtain
emptiness hold firmly to stillness
because everyone around us is in this
everyone around us is in this and it's
incredible, the universe entertaining
itself in a way that's digestible
I want something real
It's digestible
Q-tip's pop says that hip-hop reminded
him of be-bop and now there's something
called trip-hop so like Thucydides, let's
check the histories in the hopes of
clearing up any mysteries
Hip-hop, be-bop, ragtime to jazz takin' it to that
Afro-Cuban pizazz R & B, gospel and
blues how could you lose the
connection to rock but hip-hop and
rock are only two-thirds of the tryptic
the other panel, it's a little more
eclectic like ska, in the first wave, to
2tone, to third wave, to reggae, to dub,
to trip-hop to techno, to disco, it all comes
down to Afro-Carribean rythms
and something more incredible, the
universe entertaining itself in a way
that's digestible
