The Soup Song

The Soup Song

Verse 1:

Soup’s the name, and rhyme brewin’s the game

And it seems that there’s other rappers claimin’ the same

But when it comes to hiphop, I fill your pot to the top

And be careful with your ear because my shit be so hot

I say: you’re spillin’ a drop, that means you’re missin’ the point

And if it’s hitting the spot, then grab a bowl and join

No need to form a line, there’s plenty for your to listen

Fulfilling all essential nine for your daily nutrition

Just enjoy the aroma and savor the flavor

It’s good for pneumonia, influenza, or fever

You can use your spoon, or even gulp it down

But be sure to save room for this tasty sound


Refrain 1:

My name has a story, but it’s lame and boring

And it means I like soup, so save your snoring

They call me soup, ‘cause I like soup

I bring it to a boil, then I serve ya’ a scoop

And I provide much flavor and spice

With a variety of styles, it goes something like:


Lentils, beans, and barley

Peppers, peas, and parsley

Basil, bay leaves, and garlic

Celery, spinach, oregano

Broccoli, cabbage, garbanzo

Rosemary, squash, cilantro


Verse 2:

Some of this and that, I throw into the vat

Delicious ingredients stirred into a rap

I’m willing and able, so go and set your table

Culinary masterpieces, the microphone is my ladle

I got the best recipes, almost as good as your gram’s

For chowder add cheeses, plus plenty of clams

Others use potato, trying to fake the real

I use a base of tomato for a four course meal

Claim my style is corny, although I know you love

The only corn I’m pourin’ is in my cream of

And I throw in a special something to give it a special kick

Yours is water down and frontin’, mine is chunky and thick


Refrain 2:

My flow is so fat my saturation hardens arteries

I’m patiently wastin’ emcees with ease of heart disease

Count your calories and add a bowl to your plate

Leaving you craving these without monosodium glutemate


Verse 3:

If soup isn’t for you, and you want something to chew

Go find another kitchen, ‘cause I don’t brew beef stew

And if you lovin’ the taste, wipe off your chin and face

Just don’t bite soup, ‘cause it don’t work that way

Always made from scratch, I keep the party bubblin’

Quick to whip a new batch, any beat I’m smotherin’

Wth parmesean, ‘cause I’m a minestrone rapper

Need something else to put on? Well, I’m also a cracker

And you ain’t leavin’ youir seat until there’s nothing left

For me, M. C., stands for master chef
