MrLundScience | L-Unit - "What It Takes To Be A Scientist" feat. Lil' Spooky (Science Rap) @MrLundScience | Uploaded April 2017 | Updated October 2024, 3 days ago.
Anyone who operates using the Scientific Method is a Scientist. Even so, we need to take time to honor the ones who "go pro" and devote their lives in order to understand even just one thing better. In pursuing such a life, it takes courage, a thick skin, and severe determination. This Hip Hop track does it's best to pay homage to the struggles of Scientists, both late greats and also some modern day stars!
Introducing Lil Spooky (Dana Western) in her Hip Hop debut!

Lyrics
L-Unit:
What it takes to be a scientist.
What it takes to be a scientist.
What it takes to be a scientist.
What it takes to be a scientist.
Wanna make some paper?
Gotta make a paper.
Communicate ideas. Gotta get published.
Get your paper out there.
What it takes to be a scientist.
It aint easy. No denying it.
Gotta put in work, however you define it.
The discovery’s out there. Gotta go find it.
Gotta test ideas out. Reserve some doubt.
Don’t assume you figured everything out.
But respect the evidence if it start to mount.
You gotta deal with failure.
You gotta deal with failure.
But recognize sometimes… Failure helps you get there.
What it takes to be a scientist.
What it takes to be a scientist.
Work out problems in your head.
Be willing to say what some don’t want said.
Gotta get that grant.
You gotta get that grant.
Let ‘em see your plan.
Gotta help ‘em understand what you wanna understand.
Lil’ Spooky:
What it takes to be a scientist.
What it takes to be a scientist.
Disciplined focus. Gotta align it.
Smash their doubts, with a refined state of mind, kid.
Remove distractions.
Be ready for detraction.
They’ll have their say, but opinions don’t matter
When the facts got your back, son.
Keep that project funded.
Keep that logic comin’.
Critics might debate, but if your data’s straight,
Might show ‘em all somethin’.
L-Unit:
Gotta seek the truth.
Gotta demand that truth is verified with proof.
Might need to bend some rules.
Be ready for fools who try to steal ideas from you.
Wanna make some Bennies?
Wanna make some Bennies?
Let me know when you’re ready.
Engineer the design and get that patent pending.
Lil’ Spooky:
Might make mistakes.
Contemplate walkin’ away.
But stay in the game. Dedicate to innovate
Cause in the end it pays.
