Song Title: And Counting

NOTE: This song was written for the competition at SongFight.org, where each week entrants write a new song using the song title the site gives out. The title for the week I entered was "And Counting", so that is how the song got its name.

And Counting

Verse 1:
MC Eric B is my name
and Songfight is my bitch
gonna bury all the other singers
in a 6 foot ditch

Most of the tunes are stale
with lyrics I can't even hear
after playing their songs
I wanna cut off my ear

Give me something that's fresh
to stimulate my mind
take me away on a vacation
from the daily grind

It's lucky for you
that I arrived on the scene
wiping away all the old formulas
and starting again clean

Some call me prolific
I drop at least one hit a week
sometimes I even write a song
while I'm taking a leak

Crazy and outta control
like a guest on Jerry Springer
I'm redefining what it takes
to be a Songfight singer

Chorus:
Hail to Songfight
a battle of the best
there can be only one winner
in the ultimate test

As all the gold records
on my wall keep on mounting
I rule this Songfight
number 500 and counting

Verse 2:
I'm a renaissance man
a jack of all trades
I watch PBS and C-Span
but still kick ass at arcades

Like a spiritual leader
my words are deeply poetic
I draw you into my world
with a lyrical force magnetic

While others mumble their lines
strumming their boring old guitars
You'll only hear tracks that rock
from this Internet star

I'll make ya dance to my hip-hop
or make you cry with a ballad
I fill the forums with reviews
with points insightful and valid

Somebody call the police
there's a murder going down
I'm slaying all the competition
in Songfight town

Chorus:
Hail to Songfight
a battle of the best
there can be only one winner
in the ultimate test

As all the gold records
on my wall keep on mounting
I rule this Songfight
number 500 and counting
Long live Songfight, baby!
