A hopelessly white guy screaming his frustration.
Steve is a voiceover artist/producer for a living, and for fun in his spare time.
Band? What band?
Story behind the song
This was me, along with an AKAI X-360D tape deck running at 15 IPS, and an Alesis HR16 drum machine.
That's all, folks.
Lyrics
The Doncha Learn Rap
©1996 Steve Moser
You’re lookin’ at the things a’ goin’ on around you
And some ideas may not have found you
Always try to take in information
And not engage in mental masturbation
Doncha learn?
Soak that shit up
Doncha Learn?
Now sometimes stuff be starin’ ya in the face
And ya wish somebody else could take your place
If ya fuck up, take responsibility
‘cause the only way to glory is a mind that’s free, yeah
Doncha learn?
Don’t say “You made me do it”
Doncha learn?
Now if you don’t like what’s coming through the mic
And you don’t have a Ph.D in psych
Don’t judge the Mose or look down your nose,
But examine that thing sittin’ in your clothes
I said, doncha learn?
And don’t blame me for it
Doncha learn?
Take a look at the situation
Doncha learn?
It’s not an impossible mission, Mr. Phelps
Should you choose to accept it
Pretty scary, huh?
BREAK
Bottom line is, don’t do the time
Wishin’ what somebody else had was mine
If you’re gonna make it, ya gotta get naked with yourself
‘Cause you can’t count on it happenin’ from anybody else
Doncha Learn?
So sue me
Doncha Learn?
Gotta think about it
You’re gonna have to
Wake up and smell the coffee
Get after it
