Unfortunately for Prof, there’s an underlying seriousness to his lyrics that he tries his hardest to cover with layer upon layer of party-perfect beats and rhymes. Growing up on the South Side of Minneapolis, Prof matured in step with the local hip-hop scene. In his 24 years, he’s seen some shit that can’t help but escape from his memory and into his songs, lending his lines the kind of wisdom that can only be born on hard city streets. He started free styling in eighth grade and, although he likes to have fun with his music, the swiftness of his rise to local fame shows how seriously he regards his rap career.
A rowdy young buck who loves a good time, Prof wants his music to inspire others to party it up with him. In a world where credibility is currency, Prof sticks a middle finger to those who feel hip-hop should be straight-faced and serious.
“Everyone’s trying to be a preacher or a politician— telling you how to live your life,” he says. “I’m not running for Senate. I’m doing this for fun and I don’t watch my mouth.”
Prof’s debut solo album, Project Gampo, definitely made a lasting impression on local music critics and hip-hop heads. “Prof is wall-to-wall here in all his glory, with clever one-liners out the a**, hyperactive and delicious vocab spills popped like collars- picture a supreme smarta** with gorilla swagger and a mouth as fast as his mind… Point blank, this kid’s got more flavor and flow than all five of your favorite MCs combined.” (City Pages, May 12, 2008)

Prof Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He fucked up just by thinking I was sweet, uh
I run this city, might have thought I wore some cleats, uh
Ain't ever heard someone like this up on the beat, huh?
Tooti fruiti, the booty doody is jury duty
Moody foodies, jacuzzis is filled with boujee booties
All of this money don't know how to count it, man
I think I need a computer
Yaaa!
I'm gettin' bigger, gettin' bigger, uh
Yaaa!
Do you wanna reconsider, uh?
Yaaa!
Lost control of a killer, uh
Yaaa!
I'm gettin' bigger, gettin' bigger, uh
The whole label's drug dealers, uh (dealers, uh)
If you build it, homie, they will come (they will come)
If you turnin' up then save me some (save me some)
Drop down and get your eagle on (eagle on)
I don't care for boring people
I think you're lame
I only politic with goons who wil' out the frame
Better take another shot, bitch it's not a game
I'll beat it out the frame
Baraka Waka Flocka Flame
I am belligerent
You know that I have a problem with acting a fool
I don't talk to police
I know nothing
I swear to God that that shit is not true
I'm a barbarian, hopped on adrenaline looking for something to do
I'm remarkable, I'm on a roll
If you need education, I'll take you to school
Yaaa!
I'm gettin' bigger, gettin' bigger, uh
Yaaa!
Do you wanna reconsider, uh?
Yaaa!
Lost control of a killer, uh
Yaaa!
I'm gettin' bigger, gettin' bigger, uh
Wake up, brush off, get clean, look good
Put on two chains, flexin', then whassup?
So fly, to see me, you look up
I win, you lose, fuck you, then whassup?
I don't care for boring people
I think you're lame
I only politic with goons who wil' out the frame
Better take another shot, bitch it's not a game
I'll beat it out the frame
Baraka Waka Flocka Flame
I'm the shit
Now I think I will go catch a body
Fuck yo' bitch
And then I will go take a potty
No teriyaki, I buy Kawasaki
If your girl suck dick she can hop in the shotty
She poppin' a molly
We're coppin' a squadie
Ooh, crew keep lovin' her body
Yaaa!
I'm gettin' bigger, gettin' bigger, uh
Yaaa!
Do you wanna reconsider, uh?
Yaaa!
Lost control of a killer, uh
Yaaa!
I'm gettin' bigger, gettin' bigger, uh

The song "Andre the Giant" by Prof is a fast-paced, energetic rap track with a strong emphasis on bravado and self-confidence. The lyrics describe the rapper's dominance and power, with references to knocking out opponents and running his city. However, there are also hints of vulnerability, with references to demons and a need for education. The chorus repeats the line "I'm getting bigger," which can be interpreted both literally (as in, gaining more influence and success) and figuratively (as in, growing as a person).
