A long time ago and very far away started training on my own learning art in the hardest way. Cause heavy is the task like the heart of Rey. Been waiting long enough let's start the play. Hey! I got big plans like Mon Mothma not talk I could sell sand to a Jawa, Ponda Baba – take my hand man I gotcha "Eechiwawa!" "De Wanna Wanga!" Tell me the odds and your luck's destroyed make a robot scream like the dustbin droid "RAAAA" Rebel Scout with the metal out, crush your bunker want to run try the Kessel Route while I settle doubt guilty of the allegations - the only being giving Palpatine Palpitations. Force Awakens and I'm mad woke, yeah bro it's the old space wizard in a bathrobe Fighting Star Wars since I was five, what can I say I'm a Force sensitive guy. Do or do not never said that I'd try, Jedi even when we're dead we don't die it's the burden of a master, ask Obi-Wan - we are what they grow beyond. From the void, sending out a morse code til our pores glow - Force Ghost! In drydock wiping biters like mynocks hit the dust then I rise like Skywalks with freaky flow make the weak queasy yo speaking like C3PO leaking pinot grigio whoa hate to show up with the bad news but you better guard your skiff like it's Klattu's we crash crews from Naboo to Jakku Ewok this way Wicket to Paploo yeah dude it's a new saga era take a deep breath get raw saw guerrera gliding ions on my interceptor tie on starkiller let the bygones be Qui-Gon in a duel of fates you never check swing, be real y-wing when you can x-wing you won't see me til things are at they're dire worst or at a celebration - I love fireworks! CHORUS / OUTRO

I'm from earth – that's where I got this microphone Where I pay rent, eat food and where I like to roam Yessiree! And Wordburglin's the specialty Rock so many spots my face should more freckley We took a bunch of little metal from our crust Turned it into stereos and constructs to thrust Into outer space! Yeah we're great at sonics And you can't undervalue our Plate tectonics! They can’t believe my entire existence Like finding ancient Mayan tire existence Resisting Prime Directives yeah I'll interfere Insert my albums in whatever that you call ears Listen clear cause it's plain to see More props per pound that's the weigh it'll be Play me Saturn to Jupiter Raps're stupider I rhyme dumb S'why the Galaxy knows where I'm from I’m from Earth! Thats where i was made Like the cars that you drive And the records you play I'm from Earth! Like Coffee and soda tins Hockey, and, the minnesota twins I'm From Earth its a planet in the galaxClaiming anything else would be a fallacy I'm from Earth! Like toast and rice No joke! Lived here most of my life / Alright - We're still trying to figure out World Peace But got ill beats – and the best girls please! Plus grilled cheese and other sandwiches Ask around! I Don't care what your planet is I rep the blue ball, they call the 3rd Rock Where the birds flock, Full of words, nerds and jocks Geological timescales, comics, oxygen College DJS getting props for lots of spins Soccer, Water! A thirst for kicking it Terra Firma citizen - Check my Earth Certificate They like I hearda you – “Wordburg, that earth dude! Absurd verb hurdler of verse - yeah for sure true! Invest in renewables when I'm range Recycle, re-use and fight Climate change Got all kinds of games and drinking boxes Waterslides, pliers, and things like offices I reccomend it - Earth’s very fun Love humans so much, yo – I married one Potassium? Yeah we got that too! Bring your whole alien crew be happy to show you Got space for rhymes all over the Milky Way When I'm on other worlds they wonder “Will he stay?' Sounds cray! But it's actual fact dear I'm from Earth! That's why I keep coming back here CHORUS

Straight outta Iacon, I've been scribing on Cybertron since before the Primes first turned their highbeams on. Ride along with the pride of Ironhide I’ll be kind Recording everything I see like Rewind I am the All Spark Alpha to Zeta Prime Diaclone - way ahead of my time Optimus Primal transforming with a monkey on My spinal from Stunticons to Junkions Wreck-Gar turn you into a trash can With the Wreckers ready for my Last Stand The OG G1 got you tripping on My whole body of work - Trypticon Inflict upon like Scorponok Fast-Track They Forgot I was a leader like Rat-Bat Flipping scripts and sides Thundercracker You’ll never change me back like Action Master CYBERTRONNOISSEUR Cybertron’s chronicler Transforming my thoughts into a monitor So you can see – Not rolling your odometer I’m no pawn I’m more than meets the moniker Sideswipe or Sideways if you ride bikes Defy types on a Nightbeat I write sights Streetwise more beats than Prowl Lived through the Wars of the Beasts as an owl More than meets the eye the more you learn though Like Grapple looks sorta like Orange Inferno C’mon I know You know it’s weird like how does Alpha Trion grow a beard? / In my world I don’t hear Bumblebee mumbling I’m too busy running things like Thunderwing Keep bumbling while I Brainstorm with Chromedome Tell a friend to tell Teletraan to phone home Then tell it like it is - keep applying facts Remember who you are first - like Orion Pax Til All Are One - go ask Jhiaxus Don't get a big head Fortress Maximus CYBERTRONNOISSEUR Cybertron’s chronicler Transforming my thoughts into a monitor So you can see – Not rolling your odometer I’m no pawn I’m more than meets the moniker Pound for pound it’s going down with the squad When I’m in town I’m prbly found with Hound and Mirage In a garage! Dodge! or get Toast like Ejector I see what you’re up to Pereceptor Age of Extinction? Nah! Back like Vector Sigma! It’s all love like Arcee & Springer Sunstreaker rolling out to Hunt Seekers Jazz Tracks and Blaster coming from speakers Eject Rumble get played Windcharger Windsheer Windblade Before Megatron was mining Energon I was with Primus piling all the engines on Save the Hi-jinx for Sky-llnx! Time to rock Slag Sludge with a Snarl - Dinobots Swoop there it is! Me Grimlock! Sealing Soundwave - mint in box! Rhinox Target Master Haywire Frequent Astro Train flyer Triple-Changer - Ricochet stop sulking Pretenders get cracked open - SkullGrin Skullcruncher Bludgeon You bet it hurts Get to work - like Ratchet Red Alert!

Ya! It feels good to be back home on Tatooine Hearing the “Utinnis!” being screamed from the Jawa Teens My Rap routine's not your average in the galaxy Played for Maz Kanata to the baddest of the Jabba fiends In fact my act's been seen on Kashyyyk and Yavin 3, Cloud City, Canto Bight - ya even Savareen Glad to see so many species here chilling in The Cantina – Snivvians with Lutrillians Splilling in, Corellians fresh off the Tarmac Giving you a lot to digest like the Sarlaac Yak Face! I see you in the back with Cad Bane Sipping with SquidHead – don't give him a Bad name Like Snaggletooth won't haggle you like Watto Grab a pint of Blue Milk and get Blotto In the spot where Greedo got shot by Han Solo Keep coming back like Ahsoka Tano! Live from Mos Eisley it's the Most lively On the microphone I'll serve your kind kindly With rhyme ability Live! Come and chill with me At your favourite hive of scum and villainy The Mos Eisley Rap Show! Yeah that's so It's where all the livest of the live womp rats go!

Whether you're from Alderaan or a Walrus Man Dr Evazan or a Hologram we're all a fam Admiral Ackbar's at the Snackbar with Sy Snootles Max Reebo and Ewoks eating fried noodles Nobody wishes ya harm through the door Really, Pay no attention to that arm on the floor For sure – here, try a Yatooni Boska Uhhh...Just think of it as Dewback Vodka Don't mind that alien who looks like Satan He's just waitin for a Bantha to Tosche Station Momaw Nadon! I see you getting hammered Come in from the sand, let my band get you enamored Smugglers, gamblers, Rancor Keepers Please Don't drink and drive home in your Landspeeders You can't beat the heat and this beat's even cooking more Trust me: These are the rhymes that you're looking for!

I see you Droids who snuck into the back yo! You're all welcome at the Mos Eisley Rap Show! Dustin' haters like dozens of Tusken Raiders! I'm Bringing the Zuckuss more Nuts than Trusting Vader While You're pig-headed like Ugnaughts or Gammoreans Metaphors live in my pores like Midiclorians Mandalorian Commando my rapping poems haven't been cloned - Even by the Kaminoans Slamming foes with my elegant weapon! Fueling so much fire they should sell it on Bespin Repping Rebel Scum yub nub a space hooligan More eyes on me than Ree-Yees or a Vuvrian! Blink and you miss like a Storm-troopah! Jabba no batta! Protect your neck Bib For-tuna Fresh even Backpacking on Dagobah No one can tell you what I am - like Yoda Props to Chalmun the Wookie who owns the bar And RIP Aunt Beru and Owen Lars

Alright What can I tell ya about the Torontaun / Running along the Don without long johns / On foot in the snow going for Wontons / By Spadina then sliding by your Aunt's Lawn / VERSE 1 Torontaun! Never froze and won't quit it/ When the going gets tough you know it goes with it / Hitting low digits so frigid no blizzard / Could ever slow down the town Snow Lizard! / A galaxy far away to the GTA / He's swift catch a lift when you see the Jays / Going the right of way, respecting all the Bike Lanes / No complaints 'bout weather – used to the Ice Age / A rare species you'll see him in shorts / Showing support for Hogtown team sports / He the north! In or outdoors on the courts / Hard to ignore the weird horse with the horns /When it comes to winning the Cups and World Serieses / Real serious! No shot? He's not hearing it / In the Six with his Woes every morning yo / Working hard but y'know he can't afford a home / CHORUS S'all good, that's just the life of the Torontaun! Running along the Don without long johns / On foot in the snow going for Wontons / By Spadina then sliding by your Aunt's Lawn / (repeats) VERSE 2 It's quite a sight if you ever catch him gallop eh / More famous than Matt Galloway or Halladay / They say he Immigrated to the dot from Hoth / Loves TIFF and hitting coffee shops a lot / Got a Broadview of the city like Riverdale Park / Chilling on a patio sipping ales dark / Reading Atwood, listening to Jeff Healey / “Is he actually 2 meters tall?” Yes, really / Torontaun! He's everything you heard yo / Four nostrils, claws and a fur coat / Tourists go on the hunt in rain or snow / My cousin got a pic in front of the AGO / And hey you know he supports The ROM 'cause / They don't have any exhibits on Wampas / He knows he's hot – doesn't need to brag / Plus when he's dead you can use him as a sleeping bag / CHORUS S'all good, that's just the life of the Torontaun! Running along the Don without long johns / On foot in the snow going for Wontons / By Spadina then sliding by your Aunt's Lawn / (Repeats) VERSE 3 Subzero Temps no problem to handle / The only Star Camel who's friends with Mark Hamill / Islington to Kennedy to Echo Base / In the summer you can catch him at the EX all day / OK! And if you didn't know, well you know now / Give him a shovel and he's a snow plow / So proud! Survived Empire Strikes Back / Blackouts, SARS and Mayors on Crack / Yeah! That's the Torontaun! Jogging Woodlawn all the way up to Vauhghn / Spell it's name in a strong font / Invite him out to your restaurant's launch / The one and only Torontaun / Don't confuse with the Edmon-tauntaun! Or the Saskatchewan-Taun /VanBantha? You got the wrong song / CHORUS + CUTS (adlibs) Shout out the the Hal-Ewok! 'Course can't forget the Winna-Porg! Yeah! It's Wordburgie!

Yes! Feels like I could shoot a Lion from my chest! Insides on fire – Hawks flying to a nest! Invest! And I'm striving for the best Utilizing the horizon my guide to conquest While eyes have gone west, the mind's on what's next Like tone on your phone defines the context On, text! I'm different when you hear me Like if Apple ever fire Siri Seriously be weary of Magic Beans Or getting charged for what's yours - cash machines That's the fee just to Handle the norm You gotta transform into Animal Form Check the black mirror see the cracks clearer Facts: it's the truth that's weirder Real talk in the scrolls of Visionaries But we're only human, and vision varies May the light shine forever! Never falter And Stand strong! Pack a wallop that could halt a ram Shadows on a wall - is it all a sham? Ask the man with the holograms Suitably illuminated! Looking like I took a moon and ate it Flying, trying to keep the balloon inflated To the tune I made it - June Cicadas Moving fresh like wax on some rutabegas It's a brutal place living a feudal state Going fugue just to keep your noodle straight You want power or neon uniforms? Well at least give me two or three unicorns After a life filled with ease and gizmos Things done changed on the planet of Prysmos. The plug got pulled – you had to abandon those Now I'm the only band with a Gramaphone So Call your fam I'm the man with holograms On the lam - sending out an olive branch As beasts run free and peace is havoc At least Robots can't use magic / May the light shine forever! Never falter And Stand strong! Pack a wallop that could halt a ram Shadows on a wall - is it all a sham? Ask the man with the holograms Whispered secrets of a shattered age I summon you now - renew this sage! By natures hand, by craft, by art what once was one - now flies apart! Reduced to rot, obscuring truth what once was old, restore to youth A noble Oath Protect the light With the Spectral Mic

Some were born to transform into planes and go fly Some were born to transform into cars and go drive I was born to be a city base for my friends living as a place where they can stay til the end Yo! Whatchu know about being a city? I go about my day with beings in me You mighta seen me walking down the street Cause you were walking down my feet Hah! That's just a little City humour No rumour! Transforming Robot towns are the future So get with it, now's the time man If the city feels alive – it's cause I am Metroplex! An exclusive community Who really appreciates everything you do in me My Population's a third of the Core But most days “ungh” it really feels like more When I get sore - stretch the garage Call Omega Supreme get a massage Happy to do it, don't want your applause Lay down my life for the Autobot cause! So go see all my sights and sounds you might just find I'm your kinda town. Cause everywhere you turn I'm on your next right - living my best Metroplex Life. 1 If you need an place well then the livin's on me Metroplex I'm literally here on both knees The living's easy you can Live have a look and go see there is no need to pay Decepticondo-fees Sorry if I'm groggy, I slept on some rocks Woke up to Protectobots inspecting my crotch Sewers got clogged had to talk to an architect Plus Wheeljack parked the Ark in my neck Watch your step for humans - in me like the Matrix Need a vacation? Take my SpaceBridge Enjoy the view, explore and please be sure to see the new Cheetor at Beast Wars Zoo Fresh Energon? I got the best Restaraunts 5-Star and all (recently) sprayed for Insecticons Love Music? Ahhh - then you gotta be At Blaster's Tonight for Cybertronic Spree! Plus Live Jazz! You don't wanna miss it! But might wanna skip The Armpit district Lots to see and do, you'll get lost probably Just watch my shoulder – that's historic property “Ahem” Last week? Sorry for the black outs was fighting a Necrotitan and threw my back out Alright gotta go, it's time for my nap Don't wake me up unless Trypticon attacks Some were born to transform into planes and go fly Some were born to transform into cars and go drive I was born to be a city base for my friends living as a place where they can stay til the end OUTRO ADLIBS

“It's true...we existed farrrr ago, in a galaxy lonng away...” Alright listen - Between Empire and Jedi I let the Rebels all sleep in my bed guy A Hoojib – I know it sounds hella funny We’re basically like telepathic bunnies Peaceful beings, nahh, don’t wanna harm ya Born and raised on the planet of Arbra Against the Empire - joined the good fight But these days you wouldn’t know what we look like George Lucas never put us in his movies Nobody showing love to the Hoojies But for a minute back in 83 You could buy a record or a tape of me And yeah, I guess that’s better most could ask So I can’t complain about the moments past “Cute Cuddly Hoojibs” what we’ll always be Helping make all of the Planets Free Told Leia yo what's a friend’s for then they went and made a movie on Endor Left for dead – I really hate to argue But Ewoks got TWO MOVIES and a cartoon! When they needed a planet who let 'em use it? My crew did - The Hoojibs! Who were the first who knew just what Luke did? My crew did – The Hoojibs! Who got left when they moved to the new kids? My crew did - The Hoojibs! So if you want your franchise rebooted Don't be stupid! Get The Hoojibs! It’s plain to see we got shot outta the canon Blown away like womp rats at Beggar’s Canyon I get it – they all think we're odd Cause we read thoughts and like to eat rods But Feediing off lots of Geothermal energy Is how we scofff to fight off your enemies That's life – it ain't creepy to me Ok, so I once ate Threepio’s knee But c'mon, you know that Droid deserved it It's a Revolution – that's my purpose But I prefer if you call me Plif And give me a hand killing the Slivilith Then we'll hit the Sith and help find unity Using my charm and mental acuity I do believe in freedom for all beings Hope for the future with these teachings We gave our home caves for your Home base Now we're Nomads roaming with No names So go play with that Fish Hipster Dufus Who picked Jar-Jar instead of a Hoojib????!!! When they needed a planet who let 'em use it? My crew did - The Hoojibs! Who were the first who knew just what Luke did? My crew did – The Hoojibs! Who got left when they moved to the new kids? My crew did - The Hoojibs! So if you want your franchise rebooted Don't be stupid! Get The Hoojibs!
