Based off the conversation in the second verse. The person in question demanded a song be written.
So it was.
The way you say your words is so specific
And it gets on my nerves when someone don't get it
To speak is a thing most creatures aren't gifted
Say the right words and your soul is lifted
You can lay someone out armed only with a phrase
Leave em with shellshock wandering in a daze
Language is there if you choose it
Now tell me why you refuse to use it
Grammar nazi, Grammar nazi oh, whoah (4)
Use your words, it's what they're for (8)
Here's a little example of what I Say
Talking to a friend just the other day
Sos signals from morse code and that
She says it like "Morris" the Meow Mix cat
Let's say you're on a ship and you're in stress
You'd go meow meow meow mew mew mew meow meow meow, I guess
It's funny as hell and I love the joke
But she wondered why no one said she'd misspoke
Grammar nazi, Grammar nazi oh, whoah (4)
Use your words, it's what they're for (8)
A panda walks into the restaurant.
He eats shoots and leaves.
Grammar nazi, Grammar nazi oh, whoah (4)
Use your words, it's what they're for (8)

Loved this! As a former journalist, English teacher, and currently a freelance editor, I most likely fall into the category of grammar nazi. (-:
Loved the reference to 'eats shoot and leaves'. LOL
Fantastic rap, excellent lyric, and wonderful performance, musically and vocally.
Very clever.

Awesome harmonies in the chorus. I liked the solo too. Sounded very polished and put together with all the elements. Nice work!

Opening with that BIG bass and the shouty guitars? Yes please! Flipping a term that's usually considered pejorative into a call to arms is an interesting approach...

A title like that, how could I resist?
Wow, that chorus! Brilliant! Applause! (Of course, there's the wombat who eats roots and leaves...)
