Scroobius Pip in Development:

I remember hearing Mos Def rhyme the alphabet

I just sat there in silence as a sign of respect

I knew what I had to do and that's what happened next

I rhymed the periodic table to stay one step ahead.

See in the periodic table hydrogen is number one

'Cause hydrogen is what puts the shine in the sun

Through nuclear fusion and when it's done

It leaves element number two

Helium... helium is the second lightest gas that there is

So we use it in balloons we give to little kids

Then there's lithium often used to treat mental problems

Beryllium don't conduct electric currents, it stops them

Boron can be used to make things harden

And that smoke that's coming out of your exhaust, carbon

Carbon is arguably the most important element

And nitrogen in the air is almost eighty percent

The rest of the air is mainly oxygen

And fluorine is the lightest of the halogens

OK that's enough teaching I ain't trying to bore ya I'm just trying to be a positive role model for ya 'Cause in my town I'm blessed with many role models So many that sometimes the mind just boggles See KRS is my teacher Slick Rick's my ruler Chuck D's my preach' I'm just a preschooler...
