It would appear our editors have finally snapped.
Another rejected story? Have you ever thought it might be your bad breath grammar? Too scared to learn? Maybe we can change your mind!
Hit the boombox. Let’s get started.
We can't print this (4x)
Why, why, why, why?
We can’t print this
Grammar hits me so hard
Makes me say "Oh, my Lord,
Thank you for blessing me
With a mind to read and two useless degrees"
It feels good when we know your story’s down
In a super-dope press from Tiny Texas Town
And we’re known as such
And this is a book too good to not touch
But I told you, homeboy
We can't print this
Yeah, that's how we sellin', and ya know
We can't print this
Read my comments, man!
We can't print this
Yo, let me bust out the funky rules
(‘Cause as it is)
We can't print this
Fresh new voice and plots that could kill
You got it like that
Now you know you wanna write but your words? No skill
So move outta your seat
And get a red pen
And catch this beat
While your mind’s rolling
Hold on
Bone up a little; let 'em know it's going on
Like that! like that!
Read on a mission, so fall on back
Let 'em know that you're too much
And this is a book so good they can't touch
Yo, I told you
We can't print this
Why you standing there, man?
We can't print this
Yo, sound the bell; school's in, sucker
We can't print this
Use a stronger a noun and keep that rhythm
Make your verbs sweat; that's what I'm giving them
Now, they know
You talk about the grammar
When you talk about a sentence
That's hyped and tight
Readers are sweatin'
So pass them a complex compound
To learn
What it's gonna take in the Kindle to burn
The algo's legit’
Either work hard or you might as well quit
That's word because, you know,
We can't print this
Don’t submit this
Break it down!
Stop. Grammar time!
"Go with the flow,” it’s said (but commas don’t make pauses)
If you can't learn this, then you probably are dead
Semicolons, put 'em down on the page
Bust a few moves
And if you gotta have fragments
Use em dashes, but be sage
This is it, for a winner
Edit like this and you’re goin’ to the printer
Now move, slide your pen
Just for a minute, let’s find words to cut
(Cut, cut, cut!)
Yeah!
We can print this
Look, man!
We can print this
Better get hyped and sign the contract, boy, 'cause you know
We can print this
Ring the bell! School's back in
Break it down!
Stop. Grammar time!
We can print this (3x)
(New story and again
My words don’t seem to work
This time here’s what I do:)
Break it down! Stop. Grammar time!
Every time we read you
Your phrasing's just so clean
You’re dope on the page
And you’re magic on that screen
Now, why would you ever
Stop doing this
With others making anthos
The algo’s just can't hit?
You'll sell around the world
From Walmart to eBay
“It’s grammar! Go, grammar! Give us grammar! Do Grammar!"
And the rest can go and play "We Can't Print This"
We can print this
You submit this
Yeah
We can print this
I told you
You submit this
Just type; we can print this
Yo, we're outta here
We can print this
This is pure gold. And I hated that song for so long. Pure gold.
Epic. I can only aspire to be this funky. Hip? Street? No idea what the common slang is these days. I’m still using "groovy".
