This was another track that was partly recorded during the same session with Amber Scanlan and Tim Goulet in my studio. The level of gain/compression on the vocals is better than that of "Consequences (feat. Amber Scanlan and Tim Goulet)". The instrumental is a revamped version of the instrumental I created during the summer of 2011 and rapped over in "Lyin' on the Beach" off of my last album Refinery, so that's why I say "It's the remix" in the beginning, even though it's not strictly a remix because it has different instrumentation and different lyrics.
lyrics
Verse 1:
Reuben Walton: It's the remix, it's the remix/being recognized, or your race being jeopardized/but every time you get your paycheck you die a little bit inside/'cause you're sweaty swallowin' vomit when you think what the industry made you do/freaks dictatin' this s*** like it ain't taboo/so be it, go on and write an oratorio about how sinful you've been and the game is thru/no need for cash or credit, mane, 'cause the winner, mane, is you/you just don't get any too many more f****** speeding tickets for being insanely rude/and you can eat all these f****** beat-a** n***** that ain't too smooth/over the edge and out of control, but you still gonna reap these digits and make it rain 'till June/it happened to be your lucky day/so exit out another fuckin' way/like your name was Jim Taylor, and James Taylor, too/I ain't no sailor but I sure do curse like one, on some Kung Fao Kung Pao Moo
Chorus:
Tim Goulet: I don't like the birds and bees, they just sit there and pee, I don't (4x)
Verse 2:
RW: Mary Moo Cow shit/steady flashin' diamonds like "Who's that rich?"/man, I knew that bitch, way back in high school/skinny dippin' in my pool/eatin' Monterrey cheddar jack cheese by the pound/from inside the womb, you can't see through the mound/'cause you can't leave when you're bound/lookin' all Japanese 'cause I'm a free freak for it now/I freak 'em down, then leave 'em out in the rain with a weaker b****/I freak 'em down then set 'em free/I freak 'em down then let 'em be/free freaks can't get to me, I'm a classy b****, I keep my weapons weaved/free freaks from France wanna prance for free/freak 'em down, they can't get the best of me/free freaks at the leather party wanna take a chance with me/I'll break 'em off between the thighs, like my Dr. Dré advised against to me
Chorus:
TG: I don't like the birds and bees, they just sit there and pee, I don't (4x)
Verse 3:
RW: So much wavin' your hands that it's makin' your hands sore/bitches runnin' shit clean surveyin' who it's worth to take off their pants for/at any given moment, at any given time/if you put your hands on me, I'ma fire in the hole wit my 9/and that's how it's gonna be, aight?/jump 'cause we were raised in the heart of the death slums/in the midst of drug dealers poppin' them bread buns/we get down low to the flo' when the cops come around/and then when they're gone, we pourin' shots all around/sip a little liquor to see the big picture and now these bitches got the cops comin' down and their tops comin' down/like that blood set, that's homie how we thugs bet/blackjack, ain't nobody upset/just gotta give 'em haters all you got tonight, yo
