VERSE 1:
This beat is my recital, I think it’s very vital
to use (the force) for good (of course)
Lars Skywalker that’s my title! (here we go!)
If I were a Jedi, I could out rap Busta Rhymes
Going in like Qui-Gon Jinn for the win, I could flow in quadruple time
And at the Canadian border, every time I went on tour
I’d be like “this is not the undeclared MC Lars merch that you’re looking for"
I could levitate like Yoda, I'd eradicate ebola
I could pick up girls, literally, even master the viola
I could read all of War and Peace in ten minutes,
entirely in Russian just to say that I did it
I could even catch that golden snitch playing Quidditch
(Wait, wrong movie, innit?)
Podracing up the 101, surpassing Golden Gate traffic (whoo!)
R2 on the roof of my Prius (dude), I could FaceTime holographic
I’d play for the A’s and we'd win every game
Resurrect Mac Dre do it all for the Bay
They’d all say hey Lars is neato
And always let me cut the line at El Farrolito
Two years ago, a friend of mine,
asked me to say some Jedi rhymes
so I said this rhyme, I’m about to say,
I fought the Sith and it went this way
CHORUS:
If I were a Jedi, bet I’d get all the ladies
I would mack it more than Dumbledore or Leto Atreides
If you try to strike me down I’ll just be more powerful
If I were a Jedi, that would be hella awesome
(Singin’!)
Do or do not there is no try!
Do or do not there is no try!
Do or do not, there is no try!
And if you don’t believe it you will fail every time
It’s a trap! (x2)
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
It’s a trap!

Couldn't have made "BURNER" without the Nerdcore genre this man started. Love this O.G.'s exasperated take on the modern internet, and hope he hasn't given it up entirely! Laurence Warner

I love this whole album: It just captures a wide range of experiences and affects the listener with a wide range of emotions.
I first liked this album because of the nerdcore elements, but I fell in love when I realized that these verses were true poetry, speaking to a deeper truth and beauty unlike most hip-hop I've heard. "A Poet" exemplifies this with its bittersweet message about how poetry is not valued. This is the first hip-hop tune I've ever shed a tear over.
