Transformation
Flocabulary Lyrics

The transformation of bookworms into hip-hop icons,
The change from being bookish to becoming a respected figure in hip-hop culture.

A dictionary and a microphone
The tools used to attain a more significant professional status in hip-hop.

Now this here's a story for the fellows and ladies,
This is a narrative for anyone interested in changing their image.

Sporting pocket protectors and socket inspectors and marking their vectors,
People who are nerdy and introverted in nature.

Glasses thick, they're myopic,
People who wear glasses and suffer from nearsightedness.

Short-sighted, they can't see the crumbs on their lips.
People who fail to pay attention to minor details and come across as careless.

They don't say the word think, they say "ratiocinate."
These people use complex words and phrases in place of simpler vocabulary.

They don't render repeat, they say recapitulate.
These people use complicated language in order to sound smarter.

When they speak they're wordy and loquacious,
These individuals use unnecessarily long paragraphs to express their ideas.

Verbose and gregarious, so many words it's hilarious.
These people tend to use verbose phrases that come across as funny to others.

They study elocution, the art of public speaking,
They have mastered the art of speaking in public.

But they talk in circumlocutions, indirect language.
They tend to use indirect language while speaking.

They're recalcitrant, defiant and unapologetic.
They are difficult to work with and won't apologize easily.

Write an essay on Shakespeare for extra credit.
These individuals may go the extra mile to learn something new.

So cogent and smart that it changes the field,
They are so intelligent that they change the scope of their field.

It's seminal and original.
Their work is unique and groundbreaking.

Their meritorious work always deserves merit,
Their work is always of superior quality and worthy of praise.

They revise and redact their papers, they edit.
They carefully review and revise their papers before submitting them.

They placate their parents, soothe them out,
They make their parents happy by doing well in academics.

By always getting good grades and never leaving the house.
They get good grades and typically stay indoors.

To them homework is never tedious, dull and boring,
They never find their homework to be boring, and they enjoy the process of learning.

They're never snoring or yawning, they're working evening and morning.
They are always hard at work, studying and learning even early in the morning or late at night.

They have tomes, large books in their homes,
They own large, academic books that occupy significant space in their homes.

Which they read and peruse when they're talking to you on the phone.
They read these books while having conversations on the phone.

They know about Pokemon, EverQuest, insects,
They have a wealth of knowledge about various topics, including different games, insects, and other subjects.

Entomology, Dungeons and Dragons, and chess.
They have a detailed knowledge of a range of niche subjects, including bugs, role-playing games, and chess.

Now if you've ever felt left out and ostracized,
This narrative speaks to those who may feel like outsiders.
