A closely-miked recording of me freestyle rapping to the instrumental of "A Couple Grand" by Yung Joc. I was really bored one evening at Berklee College of Music while I was at the 2007 Five Week Summer Performance Program, because I had no classes that evening so I stayed in my room recording in Garageband using the shitty built-in microphone on my MacBook. When I started talking about a kite on the hill, I envisioned myself standing on a hill at the Woods Hole Golf Course, watching some kind of psychedelic northern lights type of visuals in the sky. This song was originally uploaded to my SoundClick music page at www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=541671&content=music&songcount=107&offset=0¤tPage=2 on Sunday 9/9/2007, and it was listed as part of my "Blunt Juice" album there, before it was more officially included on this album. The artwork for this track is a picture of my late friend Amber Scanlan in the driver's seat of her car looking in the mirror and touching her face, I think in the drive-thru at Dunkin' Donuts at 614 Main Street in Falmouth, MA 02540, United States.
lyrics
Reuben Walton: Wait that metronome right here off yes it is off/sounds horrible, too. sounds like a horrible loo/drinkin' Caribou Lou on the couch/playas don't know how to route/so anyway..I'm afraid to talk real loud because I'm in my room/and if you wanna come in here and make me not talk so quietly/make me talk so loud so roud so round like a pow in the row/make a cow milk/make a cow covered with silk covered with silk like a spider/and you can't even hide her/because she's so big like Rosie O'Donnell, ROFL, ROFL in Roswell waddle waddle wow wow--I'm just makin' up words at this point/cuz I'm so bored so whored so roared so lord at night lord of the kite lord of the white hands, alright?/so white, so bright, so nice, so white/wait I already said that, but I don't care/and if I already said that then I'll be right there/but I didn't already say that but I really did/so now I'm lyin' to you, what you gonna believe on Ebay, biddin' up for this shit/biddin' for like whips/beatin' for the clips/beatin' for the bips/beatin' for the fips yeah, you know how it go/wait, I think my roommate's comin' in the back door even though there's only one door to the room/and if there was only one door to the room, why the fuck did I say that there was a back door?/Why would I say that there was a muthafuckin' backdoor/to the room, when there's only one muthafuckin' door?/One muthafuckin' door at night with a big fat whore in the kite/flyin' a kite on the hill/flyin' like poppin' the pills/poppin' the pills lookin' at the stars/lookin' at the park eatin' candy bars/eatin' candy fars/eatin' Zanzibar and Randy Far/Randy Jackson better sit the fuck down, I didn't know that nigga was in the band Journey Journey/wait, there's only one "Journey" in the name, not two/not two, if there were two of them, we'd have to repeat/every every word word that that we we say say and that would be bad/because it would take twice as long to say everything/and we would never be able to give feeling to whatever we saying at the time in the rhyme and for some reason, I'm thinkin' of Nick Cummings/Nick Cummings that's somethin'/like a hoe/hay/burnin' the fway/smokin' mad hay/
RW: Marcel, can I use your internet?
Marcel: What?
RW: Can I use your internet?
M: I don't have the internet cord.
RW: Oh, where did you put it?
M: (Sounding annoyed) Someone else has it.
RW: Oh, okay.
