pomdp the phd rapper - mit lyrics
[verse 1]
in those times
when it feels like we fall apart
we always find a way
to put it back together
[verse 2]
i came to mit, i thought i was smart
then i realized everybody here was so much better
the main thing i learned at mit was humility
the main thing i found at mit was the community
i know you probably think that mit’s a university
but when i think of mit i think of home
we’re stronger together than we are alone
work harder together than we can alone
run farther together than we run alone
wait mit can rap?
well, you never know
shout out to the faculty, the researchers, the students and the hospital
the staff who makes the food we eat, the gras, the janitors
the staff who run z+center, the leadership and rafael reif
who shines a light on darkest times and writes the best emails
[verse 3]
i’m bright like lightning
i went to mit to join the ranks of richard feynman
i’d love to see the blueprints of the god who designed him
electromagnetics and quantum physics, he combined them
when things got hard, “where’s feynman, find him”
the finest of minds in a time of decline
like the finest of wines, he was always refining
dude was the bomb
but you know that redefined him
only love for nagasaki
[verse 4]
i went to mit to join the ranks of noam chomsky
academic to the limit plus some paparazzi
syntactic or semantic, the champ of linguistic boxing
a proxy for freedom of speech but some could not see
brain on max like a pot of hot coffee
brain on fast like a brand new kawasaki
i don’t want no friction, my life is a game of hockey
brain on facts, but my biceps floppy
you caught me talking chomsky
the father of cognitive linguistics
a baller no ballistics
a hundred books prolific
but kept it scientific
a little bit political but always humanistic
[verse 5]
i went to mit to join the ranks of my advisor, isaac chuang
the kobe bryant of quantum computing and ion devices
the mastermind
the dr. frankenstein
who provided me the guidance, rewired my mind
now i’m a rapper and a scientist, the grand design
so it only seems right that i use this last line to say
“thank you, ike”
[verse 6]
let’s set a new standard
i went to mit to join the ranks of claude shannon
who put together algebra and circuits single+handedly
but always candidly
he commanded the digital planet that we demanded
the world that we live in now, he planned it
laptops, internet, dropbox, shannon
xbox, satellites, ipods, still claude shannon
still claude shannon
[verse 7]
i speak with intention
i went to mit to join the ranks of patrick winston
v+snc
the v stands for vision
the s stands for steps
the n did i mention, it stands for news
the c is contribution
we listened to you patrick winston
we loved you
we miss you
we knew when we lost you
that one box of tissues couldn’t solve the fact
we didn’t just lose you
we lost all your wisdom
patrick, i wish you had the time to refine your theory
that our minds can only process one language at a time
so next time my friend’s texting says he hears me just fine
nope he’s lying
[bridge]
noam chomsky
chomping on bananas
wondering why n0body even knows who claude shannon is?
i can’t stand for this
i wish mit faculty were presidential candidates
(yo what band is this?)
i’m pomdp, i got no managers
i’m magnanimous, with the candidness
the beat in my head
like meat in the bread
and i’m just making sandwiches
my advantage is
i love challenges
life’s a big ole’ cookie jar
and i got both my hands in it
[chorus]
i will never stop, even if i feel ill
i will never pop a chill pill
this is ill sk!ll
i’m the real deal
i put my brain on the internet
so even when i die
i still will rap
i’m past my past
i wish n0body ill will
master my craft
this is my “k!ll bill”
repping my brass rat ’til this lil’ spill
turn into a big splash, now that’s a big deal
i will never stop, even if i feel
y’all need to take a chill pill
this is ill sk!ll
i’m the real deal
i put my brain on the internet
so even when i die
i still will rap
i wish n0body ill will
master my craft
this is my “k!ll bill”
repping my brass rat ’til this lil’ spill
turn into a big splash, now that’s a big deal
[outro, spoken word]
i gotta get some sleep
nah man, we gotta go hacking
