I wish I was a little bit hyphy, I wish E-40 liked me
I wish I didn't crash going ghost riding nightly
Wish I didn't have to face the fact that I'm whack on the track
White kids aren't hyphy!
Got kicked out of Slim's like a week ago
For crumping in the front row at the Anticon show
And everyone I know says I'm taking my chances
Cruising through Oakland bumping Sage Francis
San Jose rappers say they don't want to hear
Angry emo raps by Eyedea and Atmosphere
The hippies out in Berkeley tell me I should stop
Ghost riding my Volvo wearing Birkenstocks
So I took my Dad's Lexus into town for a spin
Surprised him back at home with so 18-inch rims
Up at Live 105 jumping on Aaron's desk
"Stop playing Mickey Avalon! His concepts are a mess!"
Traxamillion did this beat, now he's calling on the phone
Drank too much Hyphy Juice¨, then I got a kidney stone
The Bay has come back with a brand new sound
But it's so hard to be retarded, guess I'll never be down
I wish I was a little bit hyphy, I wish E-40 liked me
I wish I didn't crash going ghost riding nightly
Wish I didn't have to face the fact that I'm whack on the track
White kids aren't hyphy!
I wish I was a little bit hyphy, not white like Kiera Knightly
I wish I had a whip for the girls rocking Nike
Wish I didn't have to face the fact when I'm back with the raps
White kids aren't hyphy!
Showed up at the side-show but they laughed at me
Tried to ghost ride my whip but I hit a tree
And I can't yoke my Volvo on five bucks a gallon
Didn't have any thizz so I popped a Valium, because
That's how we roll when we're in the Yay Area
The rippers ride the Yellow Bus we bring the mass hysteria
I'm up in the club in my brand new stunnas
Had a seizure form the strobes so my moves got dumber
Keak Da Sneak looked at me and said, ÒYo this kid can dance!
I was keeping it so treal that I split my baggy pants
Then I got up on the mic all def dumb and hyphy
From Richmond to Vallejo rappers want to be just like me
E-40's in his scraper with his brand new slumper
I'm chillin' with Bubb Rubb in the tricked out Hummer
The kids yell ÒYee!Ó the whistles go ÒWhoo!Ó
Don't know what I just said on this verse, do you?
I wish I was a little bit hyphy, I wish these rappers liked me
Wish they weren't on Myspace always typing ÒBite me!Ó
Wish I didn't have to face the fact that I lack the attack
White kids aren't hyphy!
I wish I was a little bit hyphy, not your aver white g
Catch me in the Source with five mics? That's unlikely
Wish I didn't have to face the fact that I'm whack like Iraq
White kids aren't hyphy!
Lars: Check out this dance move, it's the new hyphy style.
You just throw your arms and legs around like you just got a electrocuted.
It's the new hyphy style. Let's get it twisted!
Chris Ayer: Easy man! You just kicked my girlfriend in the face! She's bleeding everywhere!
Lars: Come on man...
Chris Ayer: Dude, you come on!
Lars: I'm just keeping it treal!
I wish I was a little bit hyphy, I wish E-40 liked me
I wish I didn't crash going ghost riding nightly
Wish I didn't have to face the fact that I'm whack on the track
White kids aren't hyphy!
I wish I was a little bit hyphy, not white like Kiera Knightly
I wish I had a whip for the girls rocking Nike
Wish I didn't have to face the fact when I'm back with the raps
White kids aren't hyphy!
Shout outs to the whole Bay Area!
What we used to call Marine World
Dr. Comics and Mr. Games
Stanford University - charging too much for a liberal arts education
Silicon Valley, thanks for inventing the Internet
The Oakland A's - please don't move to Fremont,
I'll be rocking that hat with even less allegiance

Andrew Robert Nielsen, known professionally as MC Lars, is an American rapper, producer, educator, and founder of Horris Records. A graduate of Stanford University and the University of Oxford, he has been described as a pioneer of "lit-hop", a genre blending hip-hop with themes from classical and American literature. In a 2003 song, he used the term "iGeneration", which ASCAP credited as an early instance of the term. He has performed at venues including Carnegie Hall and multiple TEDx events. His work frequently references authors like William Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, and Herman Melville, and he is considered a key figure in the early nerdcore movement.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
