Bam! Ill explode, just like I were a bomb
flying over Vietnam high with my Uncle Tom.
Or sitting in a cabin having a sip of tea,
while a parrot sings a song in the minor key of C,
to inspire me, so we will see,
this neurotic harmony that develops sonically.
Ill be writing my plan out with a needle,
Ill make you twist and shout and think I was Beatle.
Like Lennon or Stalin in a car that wont start,
if your Volvo is stallin then you need to learn the art
of mechanics. Dont panic, even though Im galvanic!
Im the only non-Hispanic on the Mexican Titanic.
My loops go round and round, just like a carousel,
coming out my BR-8, like I was William Tell.
If you havent heard my name, I hope it rings a bell,
because Im the only guy
who knows what happened at Roswell.
CHORUS
Yes Im an alien, I come from outer space.
Yes Im an alien, Im going to rock this place.
Some people say Im not funny, I say okay,
I cant sell records here, Im huge in the UK.
British people tell me to keep rocking on,
you might have heard me down in London
rocking heads with this song.
I was sad when I found out about Santa Claus,
so I made like Tim Allen and broke some local laws.
I moved way up north and grew a beard,
now relatives and friends think Im kind of weird.
But did you think I was heretic when I danced in that church
like an unemployed crustacean chewing on a birch?
Im addicted to shark meat and books by Mark Twain
and eating Novocain shipped from the Ukraine.
My names not Matthew, but thanks for asking!
I live in California, because Im not Alaskan.
But thats okay, what can I say?
My real home is actually light years away.
REPEAT CHORUS
You want poetry? Go read Robert Frost,
the simile in hip-hop is essentially lost,
like a tearful pallbearer carrying a body,
or a giant pink Care Bare acting snotty.
Where can it go? I just dont know,
but check out this funky alphabet flow:
its like A-B-C-D-E-F-G-
H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P, and ICP on LSD
or ABC or MTV or the new PC
you got for free from
Circuit City in Albuquerque.
I be the VIP MC on this CD,
the names MC Lars Horris, as you can see.
So where do I start, and where do I begin?
Yo, its tough to be a funky fresh alien.
REPEAT CHORUS
Andrew Robert Nielsen, known professionally as MC Lars, is an American rapper, producer, educator, and founder of Horris Records. A graduate of Stanford University and the University of Oxford, he has been described as a pioneer of "lit-hop", a genre blending hip-hop with themes from classical and American literature. In a 2003 song, he used the term "iGeneration", which ASCAP credited as an early instance of the term. He has performed at venues including Carnegie Hall and multiple TEDx events. His work frequently references authors like William Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, and Herman Melville, and he is considered a key figure in the early nerdcore movement.

Do we want to define "I know you know me" a masterpiece? Yes, without a shadow of a doubt for at least two reasons. The first and most evident are the artists who interpret it: Caroline Spence and Matt Berninger, second for the deep and poetic text.
My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
