GRAMMAR NAZI

VERSE I

See, I like a boy
Cute and nice and tall
But there's one problem (Guess what)
He couldn’t spell right at all
And I know
That's not the end all - be all
But it really kinda blows
Poor guy doesn't even like books (I know!)
And sometimes, it shows

PRE-CHORUS

My momma told me it's unwise
To like a boy who's just nice
But couldn't put apostrophe s's
On his possessives
Don't look at me when I look at you
Whenever you say "stuffs"
Cause that's my cue (RETCHHH)

CHORUS

I'm not a nazi
I just care about good grammar
Hey paparazzi (okay)
I just said that cause it rhymed
But don't you dare commit a grammar crime on me

VERSE II

You type "lose" with one o
If you're losing your mind
And 2 O's for describing
Bowel movements of any kind
You see "your" and "you're"
Are two different things, baby
It's YOUR problem, YOU'RE confused
But I'mma help you out with the words you use, yeah

PRE CHORUS

CHORUS

RAP BREAK

I suggest you brush up
On your subject-verb agreement
If we keep this up
It's gonna be a commitment
You never say "Dogs barks"
You just say "bark"
Pay a bit of attention
We're gonna take it to the park
Double negatives
And all its relatives
Don't sound no good
If they ain't in a rap song
I'm gonna break it down for you
I hate it when you say "furnitures"
When you mean "pieces of furniture"
Let the plural be pluralized
The English language doesn't deserve to be compromised
It's TO to direct
TOO for "too much"
Two is a number, learn it
Else I'll be holding a grudge
THERE'S two baby cubs
And THEIR momma lion
THEY'RE together, this is clear as day
If you're debating "If I was" vs "If I were", I say
Who would you believe more?
Bieber or Beyonce
