This was recorded around the time in spring 2011 that I first composed this beat in Logic and wanted to record a track with my friend Alex DeCelles, who I thought was more into the whole rap thing than he turned out to be, but this is what came of it. It was recorded in Sheehy Hall 201 on UMass Lowell’s South Campus at 6 Solomont Way, Lowell, MA 01854.
lyrics
Reuben Walton: It’s boring and repetitive/until we reach the point where we don’t have to fuckin’ care anymore/but that’s forty years away/and it’s boring weird and gay/get it first y’all or you’ll be sippin’ beer morning noon and day/I’m a flirt box so I already knew the way to get up all into your heart and light up another spark/damn, baby, ain’t nobody escapin’ no way/nigga I’m the used rock, I’m the empty bowl of elf soup/so muthafucka, I’ma tell fuckin’..Jared the cross, just kidding, it’s fuckin’..DeCelles, to fuckin’ tell ya how it go right now, right now, oh, oh/
Alex DeCelles: I spit it fuckin’ sick every time/
RW: You have to talk to the thing.
AD: when we’re together, shit, it’s like we comittin’ crimes/‘cause we so fuckin’ crazy/but during the day I be so lazy/I just wanna do nothin’/but I’m trying to amount to somethin’ in my life/maybe gets some way just do it right/son, I’m livin’ life, I do it crazy, fuckin’ nuts/fuckin’, I’ll stab you in your fuckin’ guts/
Matt Nemeskal: Like, I don’t know, other cities that I wanna--
David Driscoll: No, I think that Fitchburg…
AD: …son, I’m livin’ life, I do it crazy, fuckin’ nuts/fuckin’…
MN: Dude, I don’t--see, the part about Lowell.
AD: I’ll stab you…
RW: The microphone’s right there.
AD: …in your fuckin’ guts/and maybe I’ll fuckin’ stick it out/and then I’ll fuckin’ bust my kids in your bitch’s mouth/
Jay Pallazola: Lowell, honestly, is Lowell…
DD: I mean...
AD: And then I’ll fuckin’ jet out the house/‘cause I ain’t committin’ convicted of no crime/‘cause I’m not doin’ the time/I’m fuckin’ sublime, I’m fuckin’ crazy...
RW: Everyone’s being way too…
JP: I mean, I know the area, I know all the gamers.
Unknown Person: I know all about Lowell.
AD: I’m fuckin’ nuts like cash rules, fuckin’ cash rules everything around me like Wu-Tang/I got some poon tang, I’m ‘bout to hit the bowl/I got my pockets on swole, I’m runnin’ around town, I got money in the fuckin’ bank/I got gas in the tank/Everything is good/I’m not misunderstood/
RW: (blows air or smoke, then laughs and flicks a lighter)
AD: I hope everybody knows how I be and what I see and I’m rhymin’ so sick/I got AIDS and fuckin’ syphillis, I’m fuckin’ disgusting/fuckin’ your car is rusting, it’s a piece of shit/fuckin’ I’ll punch you in ya lip and watch you fall to the ground/my sound is profound/and my weed ’n ain’t brown, it’s fuckin’ green/I keep my rims clean/you know what I mean/when I’m spittin’ so sick...
MN: Are you serious?
AD: I’m a fuckin’ lunatic and you ain’t hittin’ to this/
DD: They know you’re kinda like bro-like. See the dude they have this high standards that…
AD: I’m DeCelles, I fuckin’ rock the bells like Hell Ell/or like fuckin’, whoever ‘cause I’m betta I’m clever/I’m fuckin’ sick/catch me out in a devil with Reuben/fuckin’ he ain’t kiddin’, he’s fuckin’ from Lowell/his pockets swoled up, he’s got a dutch and we ‘bout to smoke/and I’m hittin’ this shit so fuckin’ pass it to Reuben/because I’m fuckin’ high…
RW: On the shelve new…
AD: …and I don’t fuckin’ lie, it’s time for Reuben to get up on this shit, rock it quick…
RW: On the shelve new…
AD: …fuckin’ I’m a lunatic, go Reuben/
RW: On the shelf new/if you touch it, I’ma gonna belt you/suck drive health like the wise do to my wealthy crew/who sucked the wise pussy this the end of my crew/in the bed of a fuckin’ truck, is it enough to die so soon/eff the fuckin’ irreverent, you’re dead from Duff/I’m a bonafide skeet skeet baby I know it’s ignorant/smoked blazed and I thought of you/raisin’ hell in the afternoon/whistlin’ whispin’ and breakin’ into fuckin’ platoons/rigged up vials of spinal fluid/‘causin’ dreams that are fuckin’ lucid/hello to each and every one of you kids/I know bedrock ain’t between me and studyin’ music/medianoche sweet pig ears and baby I know it’s a huge trip/but damn, yeah, this is the guessin’ game gettin’ the best of me mane/the designer’s blazed, now everybody blitzed like damn…
JP: Is that a microwave? You smokin’ tomorrow? (laughs) Look at this guy…
RW: …I wanna say a huge hello to those in support muthafuckin’ groups/I saw it all, yeen know, right down to the court food in the court room/hop a new women I saw cullin’ material from readin’ up on the London siege, hoe/Milli Vanilli could give a fuckin’ shit about me/‘cause I did it without g’s/and no muthafucka will ever find me out/
JP: Reuben Walton, of Falmouth, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, do you have a microwave?
RW: (laughs) Huh?
JP: Do you have--
