Lyrics
Lambaste the lame bastard with aberrant abstract mathematics and spit darts that could OD seasoned addicts draw myself a bloodbath with this chicken scratch word salad You can’t count to 10 let alone counteract the aftermath and I def get dumb on ya blind drunk ass rumple minze I spin gold from straw like the cousin ‘stiltskin the milk spilt cry me rivers where I swim and dip skinny birds of a feather buying thoughts for a pretty penny-farthing and write a masterpiece while my brain’s 5-alarm chili farting grab some gum to chew while I walk a mile in your Ugg boots my silver tongue ties knots in your noose kick the chair kick the bucket you fuckin lose our shit is tight your fuckin loose as the town bike at midnight paint the town lead with my yellow number 2 rex is the crew leave you red black blue and dead all over my dude you fuckin looney toons
Roll a 20-sided die My campaign is epic With big tittied womantaurs And champagne antiseptic Lace the track with bard magic Spell cast crack your back real fast
I’m like professor X all my days are future past From the back of the class The Nervous Rex We at the dance with the diarrhea sweats In a wool vest, up against the wall Awkward at best
On the path again sick with the pathogen Some animals, chew your fucking arm off like some cannibals We doing belly-flops and cannon balls Like Earthquake, consuming fake MCs like a bundt cake
You must be trippin’ like you and me in a game of chicken My special sauce is finger licking Better make it extra crispy Dropped the beat so fast it threw him like a frisbee
That’s why his mind is always spinning Buggy-eyed, snot-nosed punk from the beginning It’s like he barely stays afloat Off-time outta sync fop with the off notes
Rappers on some soft serve Licked the tip and whispered in his ear, “that’s more than you deserve” Mouth running like a spigot When he gets to talking can’t wait to put another sock in it
Just don’t try nothing funny Catching more fly honey elves with the money Whoever put em on next is on some level 15 wrecking ball flex The Nervous Rex

Chaps, if Nervous Rex is not currently working on an album (preferably a double album), then I’ll be writing a stern letter of complaint. This is the good stuff. Hip hop over smoky jazz-inflected beats is always a winner (not my specialist area, but I do enjoy the occasional bit of The Pharcyde, which this reminded me of). Would love to know how you got that muted trumpet in there, if it’s a VST lemme know. Too many awesome lines to process, but I particularly loved Architect’s (😂) juxtaposition of the swaggering D&D material with the wool vests/diarrhea sweats up against the wall at the dance. If that’s Nervous Rex, I’m so here for it! Great work all….
Thanks for listening! The muted trumpet is actually from the sample. I sampled Miles Davis's Blue in green for this beat, give it a listen!
I love the mix of verse and prose in the lyrics! I also LOVE the DND references, mostly cause I'm a fricking NERD! This is such a fun one and you can tell that you put a lot of heart and soul into it!
I’m a MSTie and a Trekkie all nerds are welcome here. 🖖🏻
I'm floored. Fantastic blend of gangsta and nerdcore lines, and the backing tracks are tight but cool. Lovely.
NL killed the beat and Artie always inspires me to try and up my game. He’s incredible and I love him…thanks!
rap rules here! great lines, all the little touches lift this to somewhere else. Ugg boots brother, might have to make you a Honary Aus!
That’s all Ive ever wanted. Ever since I was a kid watching mad max (the original NOT the US dub which is so embarrassingly silly) I was like “these are my people” lol thanks for all the kindness you’re a legend around here!
Drawn in by the title. Stayed for the coolness of the song. Brilliant rap lyrics and perfect execution of them
Sounds pretty mellow for a nervous rex. Love the Miles Davis trumpet.
Nice. I saw a band called Nervous Rex once but they weren't like this. That's some serious rappage. https://nervousrexpunks.bandcamp.com/
