I’m a Little Teapot (Improv Song) Bo Burnham

[Intro]
I'm a big fan of hip-hop
Because I like words, I like poetry
And hip-hop feels like a way to condense a lot of those things into a short amount of time
There are artists that still do that
Kendrick Lamar, very word-heavy, very poetic, but--
What are you doing? This is my show, do not veer credit to people outside this building
Most hip-hop artists, for me---and it is for me, hip-hop---has traded in words and poetry for beat fetishism
It's where you make a sick beat, and then you rap anything over it and people lose their minds
I'll give you an example, is there a sick beat back there for me?
OH SHIT!

[Verse 1]
I am not one of you
I am not a human being
You know what I am?
I'm a little teapot, short and stout
Here is my handle, here is my spout
When I get all steamed up, then I shout
Singing tip me over and-
(Pour me out!)
Let's go!

[Chorus]
[Background music]
(Pour me out, pour me out
Tip me over and pour me out, nigga
Pour me out, pour me out
Tip me over and pour me out)
