Intro
Yo, what up?
This is the Mix Master,
And this is the last great book song,
So, kick it,
Yeah, alright, come on now.
Verse
St. John’s, name ain’t long,
You better learn your shit, or else you’re gone,
Can’t be wrong, but never right,
Whether in the southwest or the eastside,
Now, let me tell you something quickly in case you start to miss me,
I may be leaving S-J-C, but don’t get misty,
I leave behind the only thing that took most of my time,
These are the great book songs, so y’all can kick it live,
From the summer to the winter to the fallin’ of the snow,
They wouldn’t let me transfer, so believe I had to go,
Was that the only reason? I can’t say that I know,
But I didn’t like Santa Fe or New Mexico,
So, listen up, ‘cause this song’s for you,
The last G-B-S and this one’s true,
You know me now, ‘cause I said it loud,
Now get down as I kick this sound.
Chorus
It goes, S-J-C, y’all know me,
I gotta go, though I won’t leave,
Leave it here, my legacy,
Great book songs, for all to see,
And hear me now, it’s going down,
Play it loud, though I ain’t around,
Kick that sound and all shall learn,
Y’all know me, I’m the Mix Master.
Verse
Well, from fuck you, Achilles, to bitch Philoctetes,
All the punks in between are exactly as they seem,
Here’s the real question to help you learn your lesson,
Am I getting what I deserve from this investment?
You gotta pay attention, and you will,
St. John’s is a good school, even with the bill,
I ain’t gonna hate on a school that supports me,
Hell, even G-B-S is in the library,
You see me leaving, well, my spirit remains,
And it’s the end of the great book songs and this game,
It was great while it lasted, a damn shame,
But, I’ve only got myself to blame,
To everybody who kicked it with me,
Heard the G-B-S at S-J-C,
Thank you kindly, yo, and I’ll remember,
When I’m a rap star.
Chorus
It goes, S-J-C, y’all know me,
I gotta go, though I won’t leave,
Leave it here, my legacy,
Great book songs, for all to see,
And hear me now, it’s going down,
Play it loud, though I ain’t around,
Kick that sound and all shall learn,
Y’all know me, I’m the Mix Master.
Bridge
It’s like S-J-C, a year in my life,
But I gotta know it’ll remain timeless,
Yo, y’all know me, who I am, what I do,
I wanna be a rap star, so why this?
Hear me now, these are the great book songs,
And for everything I said, I was never wrong,
My legacy, so play it loud,
And to all y’all, peace out.
Chorus
It goes, S-J-C, y’all know me,
I gotta go, though I won’t leave,
Leave it here, my legacy,
Great book songs, for all to see,
And hear me now, it’s going down,
Play it loud, though I ain’t around,
Kick that sound and all shall learn,
Y’all know me, I’m the Mix Master.
