Tom Swifty

A Tom Swifty (or Tom Swiftie) is a phrase in which a quoted sentence is linked by a pun to the manner in which it is attributed. Tom Swifties may be considered a type of wellerism. The standard syntax is for the quoted sentence to be first, followed by the description of the act of speaking.

Conscious rappers, get off ya high horse 
Hi, thugs! I ain't never sold drugs, am I soft 
It's real easy to say you ain't out to get that money 
When you got a roof and food and the sky is sunny, sonny 
But if you could walk a mile in that hustler's shoes 
You might understand the meaning of the phrase paid dues 
And if you wanna emcee, you better study the craft 
Or you might get cut up and laughed at by some guys that kinda hate you 
Now I ain't saying get up on the mic and spit some broke mess 
About gats, whips, and gold, and how you be makin the dope stretch 
Unless that really is how you live... well, then speak and show love 
And I'll show it back to you in these here flows, son 
See, me, I been in ciphers with everyone from punks to thugs 
And they mostly ended up with fists thrown in man-hugs 
Advanced Love 101 for everyone under the sun 
Let's show love to the ones that's different from the other ones 
I'm cracking at the seams, backed by hopes and dreams 
Knowin that there's more to life than dope and CREAM 
But at the same time, I'm trying to live within my means 
And I'm trying to live a little bigger each year, know what I mean 
Yo, it seems that I can't live like normal people, though, no joke 
My dreams are split between steeples and lines of coke 
But I hope these lines I wrote effected everyone that stays connected 
To the rivers and tides spied before buildings were erected 
It's ancient and futuristic like graffiti hieroglyphics 
And the B-boy in my city is the only type of mystic that I know 
So pack your whole New Age soul up and go 
I'm livin for self like everyone else and givin the wealth back to my folks 
And, yo, of course you gotta spread your charity far as it can go 
But me, I'm checkin for number one first, cause charity starts at home 
And when the split comes between conscious and street 
I just nod to the beat and pay homage to both, but 

I heard em sayin you a conscious rapper 
I heard em sayin we some conscious rappers 
Ah, man, yeah, they sayin I'm a conscious rapper 
But I like conscious rap best when it's kinda gangsta 
I heard em sayin you a conscious rapper 
I heard em sayin we some conscious rappers 
Ah, man, yeah, they sayin you a conscious rapper 
Why don't ya grab the mic and respond to that, sir 

I'm not a gangsta, but more gangsta than a lotta rappers 
It used to be cool to be labeled a conscious rapper 
If you a soft rapper hoes won't even holler at ya 
But multiple platinum albums for an awful rapper 
I'd rather get a real job than be a struggle rapper 
I'd rather pay it forward than to hustle backwards 
I'm not an actor. I'm a well known factor 
But classics and assets is all that I'm after 
I can't front. Be positive all you want 
But if the music don't bump then it's not enough 
Clever lyrics and melodic hooks, plus the looks 
But don't blame the fans if your craft's not as good 
Whether criminal or law-abiding individual 
One nation under god indivisible 
From conscious to gangsta and all in-between 
Make your music dope or stay away from the scene 

Phillip Mo, that is what you're aiming for 
Strapping up, gonna rob a vacant store 
I'm strapping on, gonna watch some Jason Bourne 
I'm strapping off, gonna watch my favorite porn 
I'm so fucking hard, throw up my set 
Throw up in yards, throw up on pets 
I throw up my guard, throw up my left 
I threw up at the club and then got thrown down the steps 
I was definitely not conscious 
Because I slipped into a coma that's deep 
But I got props cuz the cops 
Blocked off the block during a specific episode 
So I'm owning the street 
Am I damaging the code of the streets if I'm a 
Yoda in the sheets and the Anakin of rapping, when I 
Think the deeper fact of it is both of em' creeps 
And I'm about to lose my consciousness again, so I'm going to sleep 

I heard em sayin you a conscious rapper 
I heard em sayin we some conscious rappers 
Ah, man, yeah, they sayin I'm a conscious rapper 
But I like conscious rap best when it's kinda gangsta 
I heard em sayin you a conscious rapper 
I heard em sayin we some conscious rappers 
Ah, man, yeah, they sayin you a conscious rapper 
Why don't ya grab the mic and respond to that, sir 

I can't be socially responsible for the ominous 
Embedded in the fear-based populous, body politic 
Probably obvious, but honestly it's a problem conscious shit 
Negates to follow, fit, and model with 
The subtle risk to tolerate costs accomplishment 
But what if I aborted the mission to listen to reason 
From said Gods, law officials and misled heathens 
I admit I'd be outcast in attempts to reach out past 
The Flag Staff-Whip Appeal and GED Scout grads 
But doubt has its pros, and I'm guessing the world knows 
Cause what used to be the norm is now the most opposed 
And I'm a gangsta for believing this rebellion breaks the mold 
On a status to the street, where new lingo comes in code 
The signs thrown are still in art, communicating my last 
Words whenever the bridge burns hope to learn spells cast 
To tell the task of what I did to tear apart my heart from commercial plugs 
Would make me just a little more Thug 

Commercial rappers and thugs 
I show these actors no love 
Real know real and most these dudes is fake as f*ck 
In this jungle a lot of snakes playing lions 
Until a lion pull up then they go into hiding 
No squares in my circle they scared throwing flares to warn you 
Don't go against the grain these flames will scorn you 
See you pick up a lot coming up from the bottom 
Its wild in this mental asylum the Batman of Gotham 
Been rounding up these jokers since the big apple rotted 
I'm the solution to the problem and I'm standing with Colin 
You see I can relate to being the most hated the most underestimated 
The one they didn't think would make it ha 
So they calling me a conscious rapper huh 
But these dudes out here moving backwards 
Like if you doing good they all attack ya 
I wish a motherfucka would cuz y'all just kinda gangsta 

I heard em sayin you a conscious rapper 
I heard em sayin we some conscious rappers 
Ah, man, yeah, they sayin I'm a conscious rapper 
But I like conscious rap best when it's kinda gangsta 
I heard em sayin you a conscious rapper 
I heard em sayin we some conscious rappers 
Ah, man, yeah, they sayin I'm a conscious rapper 
But I like conscious rap best when it's kinda gangsta
