Song | Mr. Raven |
Artist | MC Lars |
Album | The Laptop EP |
We got EAP in the house tonight, Edgar Allan Poe. | |
America's favorite anti-transcendentalist. | |
We're taking this back, way back, nineteenth century style. | |
[CHORUS] | |
Who's that (who's that) rapping? | |
Who's that rapping at my chamber door? | |
Mr. (mister) Raven! | |
All up in my grill like, "Nevermore." | |
Kick it! Once upon a midnight dreary, while I kicked it weak and weary, | |
Dark and cold just like Lake Eerie, Brand New sample, someone clear me. | |
While I nodded nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping. | |
Up like, "What?", this thunder clapping in my brain like graphic Halflings. | |
Staffing me, I put down Milton. Cell phone mute like Paris Hilton. | |
Open window, halfway built-in. Times a changing like Bob Dylan. | |
Twenty-pound bird black as could be, cold feet cold eyes aimed straight at me. | |
Grim face, grim stare, death carnivore, quothe that raven "Nevermore." | |
[REPEAT CHORUS] | |
I miss Lenore, my Annabel Lee, taken by angels from me. | |
Alone with books (hey that's me!), harbinger of death visiting me. | |
I said, "Can I help you, evil prophet? If you got a problem, look, I'll solve it." | |
He checked my hook, DJ revolved it, perched on Pallas, chalice dropped it. | |
"Tell me sir, please, if you can. Am I good or evil man? | |
What can I say, what can I do, when will I be rid of you?" | |
"Nevermore," quothe he at me, hating on this fresh MC, | |
Satanic raven, Niche glee, killing me softly like the Fugees. | |
Now I feel worse, my verse is terse, joy inverse just like Fred Durst. | |
Call a nurse, disperse my thirst‰ put this process in reverse. | |
Wish I•d had some warning first, MC Lars, '88 hearse. | |
Now I'll never be Slug or Murs, under that black raven's curse. | |
The raven•s eyes still have the seeming of a demon that is dreaming, | |
Lamplight over him still streaming, hear my screaming, hearme screaming! | |
My soul still floats there on that floor and shall be lifted nevermore. | |
Afflicted calm, like Michael Moore, canonized piece, US folklore. | |
[REPEAT CHORUS] | |
Who's house? Raven's house! |
We got EAP in the house tonight, Edgar Allan Poe. | |
America' s favorite antitranscendentalist. | |
We' re taking this back, way back, nineteenth century style. | |

Grim face, grim stare, death carnivore, quothe that raven " Nevermore." | |
