Sample lyrics:
DWORD to your moms, I came to drop bombs;
I've got more rhymes than San Jose's
got dot-coms.
I rep the Farm like 50 reps Queens,
With more power than multitape
Turing Machines.
Blowin' up the rap scene faster than
factorial functions,
I'm dope like PNP transistors and I'll
saturate your junctions.
By the time you've rhymed one line,
I've already busted ten;
You rap in exponential time and I'm
big-O of log(n).
