"...the government can no more encourage citizens to pray than to "fast during the month of Ramadan, attend a synagogue, purify themselves in a sweat lodge or practice rune magic."

The Rap Guide to Evolution

Performance, Feedback, Revision

The first version of this rap was pretty primitive
It was like, "Yo, yo, the origin of species
Ain't no feces, dawg, believe me..."
And that's all I could think of
So then I thought, this needs to be re-written
And sometimes people ask: "How does your show get written?"
Like this: performance, feedback, revision
And how do I generally develop my lyricism?
Like this: performance, feedback, revision
And how do human beings ever learn to do anything?
Like this: performance, feedback, revision
And evolution is really an algorithm that goes
Like this: performance, feedback, revision
So the genetic code of every living creature was written
Like this: performance, feedback, revision
See, the genes are like a text with a thousand pages
And revision occurs in the random changes
That come from mutations, and when they see the light
That's the performance, that's the phenotype
And natural selection is the feedback side
That's about who survives and whose genes catch rides
In the next generation, yes, what I'm saying
Is that a rap performance like this is the best illustration
Of the way descent with modification works
'Cause the performance is necessary to change the words
To decide which have an impact and which to send back
To the drawing board, in fact I just did that
When you failed to react, 'cause any line can change
And mutations occur when I improvise on stage
'Cause up until this moment, everything I said was off the page
But… (Freestyle improvised rhyme)
And that's how my show gets written and re-written
Like this: performance, feedback, revision
And anyone can use this algorithm to learn anything
Like this: performance, feedback, revision
But remember, you get the feedback, and you make the decision
Like this: performance, feedback, revision
You wanna know about evolution? This is the definition
Like this: performance, feedback, revision
