I guess in spirit this song is kind of a sequel to "Rewind the Clock Back" off of my 2011 album Diamonds and Plastic, but it improves on its predecessor by actually having a hook, something the free-association freestyle before it lacked. P-Town is Provincetown, MA, which is a popular LGBTQ travel destination on Cape Cod, so I felt like giving it a shoutout. WoHo is Woods Hole, MA, my hometown. Dubtown is Weymouth, MA, where my friend LeAnne Piepiora, who I met when I went to UMass Lowell, is from. The idea is that rather than claiming some far away place as my hood I would instead shoutout some of the different places around me that I've hung out at or have been. Part of the beat for this song was later used for my song "The Birds and Bees (feat. Tim Goulet)" off of my 2012 album Odds and Ends.
lyrics
Plus, she had surprised me by pouring a candlelit bottle of wine/don’t you like studying this and putting it into practice in all of your lines?/no. just let me go through a few reasons why you might’ve been a little harder to find/bravely listening to this podcast? is you outta your mind?/maybe this is a fear of failure so you would like to know how to throw them ‘bows when you properly fried/how do you approach women when you’re not really exactly that fly?/trusting to an adult fault fame yeen got weak ass butterflies at the bus stop gettin’ distracted by rides/weak ass butterflies at the bus stop gettin’ distracted by rides/trusting to a fault some hip cat that did act like he ain’t really that wick-wack/he ain't really that wick-wack, in fact, he’s just at his own prime/so we sit and laugh and talk pleasantly, while meanwhile we dyin’ inside/so to do so when most niggas they 8 times out of 10 just wanna fuck it and call it a night/we mash up the place back up in your face wanna start somethin’ mane, never you mind/Español I can speak it so if you ever lackin’ a niche in that market, got a joint and you schemin’ to spark it, then gon’ and drop me a line/cause the black time/brains all you needa know ‘bout eyes/cuz we got a genuine pimp slit/all of a sudden this pimp split, cuz he was fed up with the so-called misfits/
so we lyin’ on the beach
just lyin’ on the beach
just lyin’ to the beat
just lyin’ on the beach
we lyin’ on the beach finna dope y’all lipstick/we hardly get dressed when we talk to suitors ain’t no spottin’ snoopers when they just wanna get they dicks licked/with they hurr outta control/spun outta control weed overflowin’ out of the bowl/say what you want but I ain’t no quitter my hyle's style is hittin’ hard after a couple sips of that liquor/whatever it is you niggas think you can’t be, can't do better than this/while you wishin’ the slow witta inside of me would just come alive and start some violent monopoly/but fuck it, i just wanna be that kid who when they criticize you I’ll be there right before the cops’ll be/can tell my opinion by the look in my eyes that I'ma die hard try hard try hard to get that fire/name of course. I’m also looking for food, yes I said that right/I am not just a tongue for love but also, I'm not even above the drugs/what you want for peanuts? va a ser responsibil, responsible/zits on my forehead like Melissa Morehead/ain’t a real reason but gon’ 'head and get the door, Jed/last name Mehegan, fast thangs be beatin’ outside his office of South shore relationships relief fund/staunch republicans eyein’ me like I’m just a stoner and don’t work hard/Shit, I’m bustin’ my balls back here and shit’s wetter than Hurricane Katrina/Trish Stratus ain’t here to go ham with Vita/straight from Murder, Inc. and she heard the stink/Catherine Zeta-Jones better switch me chairs or it’s burglary/Bonzai trees in the corner ekin’ out a living in the nursery/purposely I told you it was worth it, G/Neck failure finna make me say ain’t sayin’ hola/Tell you it was worth it, G/Nola ví a la playa para stoppa the fire/that’s a possibility you say no it is not but it is/die animal woah, Derrick from Sum-41 teaching parakeets to blow a spliff/this is a foul act he’s done and he knows this shit/this is an eyeglasses case on the floor like I done told you bitch/it’s nearly as good as recording shit in da .wav format and then reloading it/recording in .mp3 we might have to really know some tricks/not the kind in the streets but the file kind that I gotta pick one apart/ultimately this way is better than Napolean Bonaparte/well anyway, it is better than a heavyweight golden arch/that’s just unhealthy man like holdin’ farts/what's the real question for you the final unhealthy man lookin' like result has to be a dot/mp3 file, don’t care/well everything's wild, out here/anyway, don't care what you told the loan shark/so it would be better for you to record directly to .mp3 and not tarnish my golden heart/or is it better to record in .wav format and stay a human doormat ‘till you the oldest fart?/and then convert a fuckin' stye human mattress/this teacher stuck the mp3 in a metal box that better not break ‘cuz if it does it tears my whole world apart/it depends on the quality of your .mp3 recorder, ‘cause by this time you oughta be gettin’ things in order/it was really in a no-test fousting session that I was able to get that asshole to bounce his ass for a quarter/bounce it up and down then take one last gulp of water and make a pass at his daughter/bounce that asshole to stay hydrated and fix with a UMass Lowell casserole/bounce it and get yo ass to the floor and then stack the trolls/listen, shake your rump while you’re at it/get your ass to the floor and act like a crack addict/just kidding I ain’t even wit it man, everybody know me/and I got hoes, G/and I’m legally leavin’ the ghetto with a couple hoes me/yeah, take off that hosiery/P-Town, nigga.
