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 ↴
And I'm staying lubricated daily. Slip my dick in to whatever it fit in, I'm crazy
Holy moshpit, osh kosh bagosh it's, completely retarded the size my crotch gets
I'm pooping, on rappers, not only pooping but poop scooping and vacuuming those bastards
Push, pull, let's give it a go. Go to the limit, I'm a living animal
I'm a motherfucking hustler, and I'm married to the game, I take her out to eat and then I fuck her
Rollin down the block on my bucycle. Steady smoking on my mom's white widow
I'm as about as fly as it gets. So fly that basically I'm on top of shit
Wake up world. Time to work out. Turn the lights on, wake up girl
Whoo, Ooh, ooh, yeah. Whoo ooh ooh, yeah. Whoo ooh ooh yeah. Let's go to work
Wake up world, Time to work out, turn the lights on, wake up girl
Whoo, Ooh, ooh, yeah. Whoo ooh ooh, yeah. Whoo ooh ooh yeah. Let's go to work
I'm so rick ross, I'm such a big boss, I got 'em hating on me, they must be pissed off
Young prof is something that you've never seen. I swear to god I've been the best since I was seventeen
You a bald man, I'm a rock band, you a choir boy, I'm a boss man
Motherfucker, I'm a small economy, arguably I'm a rarity, considered an ANOMALY
You're so gumshoe, I'm in your face like a front tooth, better recognize when I come through
My whole crew fights. Taste an uppercut up in the jaw and get elevated to new heights
Young prof hop out the coupe, so damn fresh man, I'm smelling like juice
Mother fucking unbelievable even though I'm achieving all these things that's unachievable
Wake up world. Tim to work out. Turn the lights on, wake up girl
Whoo, Ooh, ooh, yeah. Whoo ooh ooh, yeah. Whoo ooh ooh yeah. Let's go to work
Wake up world, Time to work out, turn the lights on, wake up girl
Whoo, Ooh, ooh, yeah. Whoo ooh ooh, yeah. Whoo ooh ooh yeah. Let's go to work
Best white rapper in a decade, swagger similar to larry bird plus an essay
Really prof is getting silly. Flow is so damn cold chilly willy
Cock swoll snot nosed looking hood rat. I be like dylan please rerecord me, where the kush at
High school haters pay the price. You pussies come around me then you bros get iced
I'm a dead man walking. Best MC that you seen out of coffin
In other words I believe that I'm awesome, possum, bounce on the track like a problem
Swallow MC's twenty-four seven. Like a hungry clock I'll go back for seconds
Look at me I'm filthy. If you want life to be better, I suggest you kill me
Took darling to the crib for a meal. Curtains were drawn, but the furniture was real
The food was great the talk was small. The boobs were fake, I kept my socks on
Dumb dadda, Young prof is in the Ramada. Come swalla pina cum-lada. That is something I don't run outta
So until manana, in my sonata give me mama I can beat the buns outta
Yeah, keep it on the hustle. See ya in the morning see ya in the morning
Yeah, keep it on the hustle, see ya in the morning, see ya in the morning
The lyrics of Prof's song "Anomaly" present a mix of complex wordplay and playful absurdity. The rapper describes himself with a series of surreal, almost absurd phrases, such as "hellafied bonafide kentucky fried," "I've got elephant tusks," or "completely retarded the size my crotch gets." Despite the nonsensical imagery, the intention is to convey a message of self-confidence and braggadocio, as he asserts his position as the best white rapper in a decade and a hustler married to the game.
The chorus, which repeats the phrase "Wake up world. Time to work out," adds a motivational tone to the song. Prof urges the listener to wake up and get to work, to push themselves to the limit like a living animal. The repeated "whoo ooh ooh yeah" has an almost tribal, chant-like quality, reinforcing the idea of pushing oneself physically and mentally.
Overall, "Anomaly" is a high-energy, eccentric rap song that blends humor and confidence in a unique way. The lyrics invoke a sense of playful irreverence, while also showcasing Prof's technical skills as a rapper.
