This is not your basic rap song; it’s advanced, experimental, and futuristic.

Your first lesson given to you by (Mr. Smith!)
This rap song is about to school you; the teacher’s name is Mr. Smith.

KC MO stand up, young niggas represent
Representing Kansas City, Missouri -- the hometown where these young artists grew up.

Telescopes and cameras, rappers wanna use glamors
And it’s not just scientists-- even other rappers want to benefit from his fame.

But I'm gleamin' from the planets, homie, mine is called Kansas City
Despite others trying to benefit, this rapper’s unique and genuine character comes straight from his hometown of Kansas City.

The cloud in my pocket's gotta rain on 'em
His talent is too large and too real to be contained; it’s going to make a huge impact.

Such a star I saw Heaven's walls and wrote my name on 'em
He reached heights so great that he even wrote his name on the walls of Heaven.

So comfortable at the top I hopped on a plane and claimed Everest
He’s so successful and talented that he doesn’t even need to climb Everest to prove anything-- he’s already on top of the world.

He’s reached a level of luxury where he can even afford rooms on the moon. And the teacher, Mr. Smith, is going to be there too.

The angels feedin' me cereal with a silver spoon
He’s so high up that even angels are serving him; he’s reached a seemingly ethereal status.

My hair line is Craig Smith Airlines
His hairline looks so good and straight, it’s as precise and organized as a popular airline.

A ride from Kansas City to LA is as long as a fan line
The popularity and fan base of Nesto and his peers is so large that waiting in the fan line is just as long as a trip all the way to LA.

I'm high as '08 gas prices, my votes are twice as high as Obama's and I ain't gotta ask nice
He’s on top and nothing can bring him down-- not even gas prices. In fact, his votes are so high that they double Obama’s-- and he doesn’t even have to ask nicely for it.

I'm high as Tech's tour bus, the light skinned one
He’s got so much confidence and talent that he’s even higher than the famous Tech’s tour bus.

So if you're lookin' for me dog look up and try to find the sun

He’s not trying to boast, but his jewelry is so expensive and fine that it looks frozen.

And I'm gettin' higher then a nose bleed seat
This rapper’s level of high success and talent is so impressive that even people sitting in top seats would envy him.

Don't bring her to my session, if your ho sees me
If you’re bringing a girl around when this rapper’s performing, she’ll immediately be drawn to his high status and talent; so don’t even bother trying.

She'll drop dead in the studio like ODB
In fact, it’s not just a metaphor-- this rapper’s talent is so strong that it’s like seeing the late musician ODB rise from the dead and drop dead again in the studio.

Yeah, it's the owner and I'm very cool
He’s the owner-- the top dog-- and he’s got an easy, cool energy about him.

Plus this weed keep me higher than an air balloon

I'm so fly, I walk around with a parachute
He’s not just fly-- he’s so high up that he needs a parachute just to walk normally.

And even rappers lie too
Even in the dishonest world of rap, this rapper is upfront and honest about his greatness.

But I'm the only human with an astronaut suit
He’s so unseen and so otherworldly that he’s the only person on earth deserving of an astronaut suit.

See yo entire verse? Say that your iron squirt
This rapper doesn’t have time for people who can’t rap honestly and truthfully -- so if your verse is fake or dishonest, “your iron squirt”-- flow with a tough persona-- won’t save you.

When you only shootin' in the air like fireworks (Pussy)
And if you’re one of those fake rappers who just shoot in the air like fireworks and don’t mean it -- well, that makes you a coward.

If suckers still on that hatin' shit
People who still hate on this rapper and his crew are nothing but “suckers.”

I'll stuff 'em in a bag like potato chips
And he’s not afraid to get physical-- he’ll just stuff them in a bag like potato chips.

I'll bend they ass up like a paper clip
In fact, he’s so tough that he’ll even bend haters up like delicate paper clips.

Tech, sign me and see how quick your paper flip
He’s so impressive and marketable that if Tech signs him, he’ll see money start flowing fast.

[Chorus: x2] I'm in the air High in the air
The hook repeats that he’s up in the air and soaring, emphasizing his accomplishments.

I ain't gotta introduce myself, y'all know what it is
This rapper’s name and reputation are already well-known and established; he doesn’t even have to tell people who he is anymore.

Why call me underground when I rock the stars?
Many people still consider him “underground” even though he’s doing just as well as mainstream stars.

And even they can't see me with a pair of binoculars
He’s so high, so out there that even famous mainstream stars and their binoculars can’t even find him.

My hip-hoppin' gave a good side swipe to Mars
His talent and legitimacy is so huge that it touched the very planet of Mars.

One-Third an extinction hit, which left the limelight Ajar
Even a third of the earth’s extinction couldn’t take his shine away; it just became even brighter.

You want your scripts to fly, not in my solar system
If you’re not up to his level of talent and skill, you won’t succeed in his world.

Cause I'll dismiss 'em like they wished to die
He’ll push aside anyone whose talent level is beneath him-- you practically wish for death if you even try.

Mack mother-nature and I ripped her, why?
And even Mother Nature herself couldn’t provide a challenge for this rapper-- and that’s why he dominated over her.

Civilian ladies love me, so bro, excuse her while she kiss the sky
Even everyday ladies can’t resist his charm and talent-- so much so that they’ll kiss the sky for him.

Call me master more exalted than a priest, a pastor
He’s surpassed the levels of even the most authoritative spiritual leaders-- he’s the true master.

Blasphemy have me blast fags fast with Magma
And even those who would speak ill of his talent or integrity wouldn’t be safe-- he’d blast them away with real life magma, making them disappear quickly.

In the air like Dancer and Dasher
He’s so high, he’s just like Santa’s reindeer-- he’s practically flying above the ground.

High in the sky, above all mountains off in Alaska
To put it concretely, he’s so high that he’s even higher above the mountains of Alaska.

Higher than a million heroin hits if it'll last ya
He’s not just high, he’s addictive-- he’s even more addicting than a million heroin hits.

Super-Celestial when everyone's stuck off in the pasture
If other people are only focused on the mundane, earthly things, he’s up there, almost heavenly.

The wack, I will cast ya down, below those who get caught up in my Rapture
And if you’re not up to his level of talent, he’ll cast you down-- even lower than the guys who fall under his charm.

Don't be callin' me 'dog' cause I want you to say it backwards
And as an aside, don’t even call him “dog” because he’ll just ask you to spell it backwards-- “God”-- because that’s how highly he thinks of himself.

[Chorus: x4] I'm in the air High in the air
The hook repeats that he’s up in the air and soaring, emphasizing his accomplishments.

Your first lesson for today man That was it, Sickology 101 Y'all know what I mean Craig Smith, Nesto, Tech Nina nigga In the air, motherfucker Sound like a bird flying around Yeah, Wyshmaster on the track We out this bitch
