(Do you wanna be the New King?) 
I don’t usually do this 
 Make a hip hop ep 
But I had to. 
 You think I want to be here?
 You think I want this weight on my shoulders? 
I don’t.
 But sometimes you have to do what you don’t even want to be - uh can I take that again? Ugh. 
I was summoned by the powers that be 
 They came to my door, said make an E.P. 
I said no way, and they said yes way, 
And I said okay, I’ll make an EP

 and honestly, I’m a little bit scared. 
I’ve heard some hip-hop but I’m not prepared 
to be the best rapper that the world has seen 
That’s when the powers turned and they spoke to me and said. 
"Dude, it’s me Matt. 
Why are you talking weird and acting like that? 
I’m your roommate, not the powers that be. 
 What is all this about a rap EP?" 

He said 
"Dude, I’m your roommate. 
 and I’m getting worried about your state. 
Are you sure you’re feeling alright? 
Melissa’s coming over later, it’s pasta night." 

And that was it, he went into the kitchen
 I said to myself “I accept your mission”. 
I’m gonna make an EP 6 tracks long 
I’ll put it on Bandcamp where tracks belong. 
 

Yo I gotta learn how to do this 
I already know, and I don’t know if you knew this 
 but Rock n Roll is dead, Hip Hop is the new thing 
If that’s the case it’s time for a new king 

Yo I’m the new king
 y’all don’t even know what I’m doing 
I’m changing the game, I’m changing the scene 
Everybody clap twice for the new king (clap clap) 

 Yo I’m the new king 
 Y’all don’t even know what you are viewing 
Scared of commitment but I’ll be your new fling 
Everybody clap twice for the new king (clap clap) 

Oh you’re too kind, for letting me shine 
For giving me time, for letting me rhyme
 For hearing my song, for singing along 
For making me strong, for playing ping pong 
For feeding me grapes, for watching my tapes 
For wearing my capes, for teaching me shapes 
 For clipping my nails for sipping my ales, 
For shipping my sails, forgiving my fails. 

 New Kings taking over the land 
 And the sea and the sky, like the back of my hand. 
Your wish is my command, If you’re wishing for a new king 
 Seems like a lie, but I swear it’s true thing 

 New king, nothing will be the same 
 Now all that I need is a name. 

I’ll just use my name. Nick! 
 That should be fine. I don’t know why other rappers don’t do that.

And if you don’t know I won’t detonate ya 
Listen up, y’all let me educate ya

Kool Aid and Fred Astaire 

 Man it drives me crazy when people talk smack about my home.

And in an unrelated note. Never go to Iowa. It smells weird. 
I don’t like it for some reason. Iowa Sucks !
