Grey Matter

Gandalf? Yeah, I heard it.

But naming a wizard doesn't make the writing magic.

You brought the whole cast with you- Gandalf, Gohan, Robotnik, Rick Ross...

That's not Grey Wizard.

That's grey matter missing.

Look-

Walk with a stick like Gandalf Lord of the Ring? You got carried by callbacks "Wiz with the white" - yeah, heard that Middle-earth opened and you chose the first hashtag

Whip all slammed, came out the mud Same car verse with a wizard on top Dog-dick line, then bird in a cockpit Four bars deep and the plot's already lost it

Dr. Robotnik, machines when you roll Man's whole personality's Sega and chrome Every punch needs somebody famous attached Take the name out the line and there's nothing intact

Stevie, Schneebly, ToeJam, Gohan Sounds like Comic-Con after they opened the bar Two sticks like a snowman - groundbreaking You built that punch from primary-school stationery

Grey Matter - put some thought in the spell You've got references, cool, but what else can you sell? Gandalf, Gohan, Rick Ross, Dig Dug Whole track name-dropping till the rhyme gets shrugged

Grey Matter - there's a difference in craft Between knowing a character and writing a bar You brought Middle-earth and a pop-culture map I brought one pen and started clearing the cast

Sid Sloth, Rick Ross, trick shot, Dig Dug Every four seconds - "Look! Another thing, bruv!" Big butt, big jugs, nip-tuck skin That rhyme chain sounds like Family Guy cut-ins

"Tucked like nut sacks" - Shakespeare retired G-string punch had the whole booth inspired Then school-shooter line in the rucksack? You went from arse jokes straight into that

That's not edgy, that's reaching for shock When the writing gets thin, just mention a Glock "In the sticks with sticks" - yeah, we clocked it Same word twice doesn't double the profit

Colostomy bag? Philosophy brain? You're rhyming by objects with similar names Dinner, "mumma," adopted me That's less battle rap, more genealogy

A-Class like you popped a pill Side skirts, Dr. Phil - explain that still LB Jimny, wide like Gimli At least that one fits - congratulations, briefly

Smoke like chimney, spokes like daisy Cream seats outside navy, "wavy" Every verse is a Pinterest board Cars, weed, cartoons and celebrity quotes

"No Frodo," Olympic smoke rings Nepalese nug, then Ron Swanson walks in Dwayne Johnson rocks on the chain? You're not making punchlines, you're searching by name

Duane Chapman, shades and tracking Another celebrity enters the caption Whisk it, biscuit, drift it, brisket Mate, you're one rhyme from naming a Triscuit

Grey Matter - put some thought in the spell You've got references, cool, but what else can you sell? Gandalf, Gohan, Rick Ross, Dig Dug Whole track name-dropping till the rhyme gets shrugged

Grey Matter - there's a difference in craft Between knowing a character and writing a bar You brought Middle-earth and a pop-culture map I brought one pen and started clearing the cast

Ribs in a steakhouse, bush on a stakeout Bag it like takeout, plates when you make house That's four food bars back-to-back, chef Gandalf disappeared, now Gordon Ramsay's left

Xi Jinping because "name" and "thing"? Mr. Fantastic, then Ben Grimm You found Fantastic Four and used two members That's not layered writing, that's browsing Wikipedia

Frozen, Hulk Hogan, Joe Rogan Jim Jones, big bones, two poles toting Click heels, brick road, Wizard of Oz Wait-

So we left Gandalf, crossed Marvel and Frozen Passed wrestling, podcasts, then Oz got chosen Ten franchises later, what was the theme? You've made Ready Player One on a sixteen

See, references work when they sharpen the meaning Not when every new noun needs celebrity seasoning A good punch lands even stripped of the name Yours needs the audience spotting the game

Take Gandalf out - what's left of the opener? Take Gohan out - does the line get colder? Take Rick Ross, Ron Swanson, The Rock Ben Grimm, Hulk Hogan - what have you got?

A slammed little motor, some weed and a chain Same three ingredients with new window dressing again You call it wizardry? Cool - here's the trick:

I made your whole cast disappear from the script

No staff, no ring, no fellowship needed No fictional character finishing my meaning You walked in yelling "Gandalf" like that made you a master-

You brought the Grey Wizard.

I brought the Grey Matter.
