This guy is a crazy rapper who does some unconventional things sometimes.

I, Sore Thumb, am now what you listen to. You should probably list me among your favorite bands on myspace, and also make one of my songs play automatically and bother people who visit.

Lyrics

To find your voice

Two years in the making, and I guess it turned out
You just heard less than half of the tracks I’ve churned out
I’ve spent a lot of spare time refining my rhyming
And recorded for hours streamlining my timing

I’ve made hundreds of beats that deserve deletion
All in various incomplete states of completion
I’ve got Microsoft Word files just two lines long
Representing misguided attempts at a song

To find your voice you’ve got to loose it

I’ve tried every style of delivery
And rocked the small stage where you get in for free
I’ve abused microphones with unfortunate attempts
At sounding clever that never ended up making sense

I’ve derived, I’ve contrived, and I’ve weeded out the worst
I’ve strived to salvage everything that had any worth
I’ve polished and shined, tryin’ to make this stuff glimmer
It’s kept me up late, and I’ve even skipped dinner

To find your voice you’ve got to loose it

The creative process can be a long, bumpy ride
I think I’ve made something in which I can take pride
I think I’ve broken new ground, and created my own style
That’ll make your feet move, and will make your lips smile

So I guess what I’m saying is this was rewarding
If anyone actually hears the recordings
Thanks for coming, come back please, I’d like that a lot
I promise to keep giving this all I’ve got
