Tiffany​’​s (feat. Reuben Walton and DDomino Geronimo) - Single

by DejaVu

/
1.
Verse 1: DejaVu: Do the dash so I don't feel the pain/yeah the ink runs and money stains in the rain yeah/Livin' for the spiritual and better days/Tokyo Drift, swervin' in different lanes/The only thing that stays the same is that people change/hold a grudge and you'll live in rage, live in pain/yeah, forgive and forget, turnin' to a new page/in the belly of the beast with a new cage/yeah we timeless/eatin' up all the diamonds/mixing the metaphysical with science, don't even try us/we murder beats like Michael Myers/we gettin' higher, the flames grow steady fire/I'm a sire, mixing herbs with a lighter/I'm wired up, strung up tighter/if I live my dreams then I will be a writer/I won't lay down and die, I am a fighter/I am a rider, I will hit the sky, I am a flyer. Chorus: Reuben Walton: In dreams I see you, in thoughts, I feel you, in dreams, I see you, in thoughts, I feel you. Verse 2: RW: Free freaks come a dime a dozen these days, matter fact bet you holdin’ one/freaky freaks into vore ‘cause human flesh is free/freak ‘em then leave ‘em with their destiny/freak ‘em doggy style then I’m a pause a while and admire my pedigree/sittin’ in the sand dunes with this freak bitch Monique/bought her a soda then I knew she was weak/already all up on me, man, my swag got her geeked/yeah yeah a pedophile would probably get more sympathy than you being used as a doormat/gellin’ with the gel inserts while rockin’ a new whore hat/“aah-aah ooh-ooh”’s what they say when I walk in the door to the firework of my enormous swag/‘cause they be lookin’ like newborn rats/I be walkin’ round campus mad high scattin’ like doo-doo-doo-doo-doo/and them hatin’ ass macho bruisers be goin’ all “dood-dood Chorus: RW: In dreams I see you, in thoughts, I feel you, in dreams, I see you, in thoughts, I feel you. Verse 3: RW: -dood-dood”/and I’m like “Where you from, Billerica?/Either way you better not spill the liquor./You ain’t a cop and I ain’t tryin’ to claim another victim/Ain’t tryin’ to give you a swing with my sickle.”/Like they hatin’ on dodo birds and it’s a million friggin’ years ago/way before the kajillion weird Afros/people rocked in the 1970’s spillin’ beer on hoes/you laugh that you’d be mad at me/it’s not that serious, you see/but if it really wasn’t, then why’d you take that tone with me?/Reub got the hooks, Reub’s got the swag/Rubinstein be the name of a Syndrome his friend has/Rube Goldberg be flossin’ with the bags/Rubio in this thang so I know that’s why you mad/Reubdizzle got it poppin’, as for you it’s kinda sad/Schmoob’s a hard worker, and you better be seated/you better believe it/done seen it/Russian Reublette’s a padded room you should be in/rubinium spilled everywhere/Rhubarb pie in my hair/Richard P. Rubinstein biographies in my pet’s lair/La Roux got the best flair/Rubling got the chest hair/pubes on my neck bare/Kangareub carryin’ the game in my sack/Rubert’s wary of the lames in the back/Katmanru, let’s escape Ruby Ruby baby a doobie/Rubint Forleather steady gettin’ paid for movies/ Chorus: RW: In dreams I see you, in thoughts, I feel you, in dreams, I see you, in thoughts, I feel you. Verse 4: DDomino Geronimo: Dream, Dream, Dream/Now I see see see/A hit of this peen better have money green/Stacks so thick, I want more of this shit/Man, where I go for the dough?/9-5, 6-9/7-11 I want the cake/makin’ bread (breakin’ bread)/it's what Jesus/Makin’ it rain but I rather save/Any place I roll, dollar signs in my face, espacio/All in my space/what will it take/winnin’ the race/winnin’ and gamblin’, money I’m managin’ to get me a cut/Banks in the trunk/money not low, nah yup, yeah I’m slumped/can't get enough I sit back make some stack/PBHT format and all that... Verse 5: RW: The con artist Kaeli Rest in Peace/Rubadiver ain’t nobody testin’ me/Reuben the Cuban got a Cuban cigar/Tony Shareub he be doin’ thangs, he be doin’ it hard/Riders on the Reub with the Do’s in tow/Reuben on the Storm on ‘dro overload/ Chorus: RW: In dreams, I see you, in thoughts, I feel you, in dreams, I see you, in thoughts, I feel you. In dreams I see you, in thoughts, I feel you, in dreams, I see you, in thoughts, I feel you.

about

This song is another release from frequent collaborators DejaVu and Reuben Walton (myself), as well as the first new collaboration with Connecticut YouTube personality, entertainer and rapper DDomino Geronimo. This song contains a sample of dialogue between Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard’s characters (Holly Golightly and Paul Varjak, who was nicknamed “Fred” by Holly, for his resemblance to her brother, respectively) from the 1961 American romantic comedy film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”. It also contains a sample of “Everything You Do Is a Balloon” by Boards of Canada, off of their limited-release self-released 1996 studio album Boc Maxima. Putting together the credits for this song was almost like doing a research project or an investigation because of how much work I had to do to track down so much of the information. What is needed for a songwriter to receive royalty income from a PRO is either the SSN (Social Security Number) or the IPI number (the latter of which is available if the songwriter is registered with a PRO--performing rights organization--like ASCAP, BMI or SESAC). If they're registered with a PRO then they provided their SSN when they registered and I would just search their name and I can find their IPI # in the search results on their PRO's website. ASCAP, BMI and SESAC are the big three PROs in the USA. As far as the samples, what I'm technically supposed to do is get explicit and/or written permission to use the sample from the copyright owner of the sample. But because it's often pretty difficult to get ahold of these people (especially if it's a big name person), I usually just do the necessary research and then give songwriting credits to the appropriate people/parties. I had a close call with ASCAP about registering cover songs with them which I can't do anymore. For example like with this song ”Tiffany's (feat. Reuben Walton and DDomino Geronimo)" by DejaVu, I credited a bunch of people. I credited Blake Edwards who was the director of Breakfast at Tiffany's and I credited George Axelrod who wrote the screenplay and therefore likely wrote the dialog lines that are sampled in the intro to the song. George Axelrod (who died in 2003) is credited as a non-collecting songwriter on this song though since I couldn't find him when I searched the big three PROs for his name and obviously I don't know his SSN, even though I did a bunch of research and background checking with Spokeo.com and Google searches and even mailed a check for $27.00 to Social Security Administration headquarters in Baltimore, MD in accordance with the protocol for "Request for Deceased Individual's Social Security Record". I also successfully credited brothers Michael Sandison (born 1 June 1970) and Marcus Eoin (born Marcus Eoin Sandison, 21 July 1971) who are the two members of Boards of Canada. I credited Paul Gaughran who I went to UMass Lowell with and who, along with Alex Brennan and myself, helped compile a list of nicknames for me and puns on my first name, just for fun, during a student trip to Europe in May-June 2010 where we visited Berlin, Vienna, Buchenwald, Weimar and Prague. Luckily it looks like Paul is registered with ASCAP, maybe from his work with the band he's in, Professor Caffeine and the Insecurities, so I was able to search his name on ASCAP and credit him. Usually in these copyright lawsuits we hear about, the person filing it just wants credit for their work being used, so I think by doing this first, it helps. Even though it's a lot of work sometimes. That list of nicknames and puns on my first name ended up being in this song and parts of other songs. It was like a vertical list of nicknames/puns and I ended up writing rap lines after each one or otherwise incorporating them into lyrics. Some of them were ones they thought of and some were ones I had accumulated over the years or thought of on the spot. The chorus that I sang in this song was something left over from the making of my song “Supernatural".
