Breadstick Bowtie

from Sow & Reap by Ghostown

/

about

The beat was made with old Greek Rebetika samples, and I immediately imagined Mafia bosses and gangster talk, so my next step was to go through some of my favourite series and build a library of samples.
Next was trickier since the idea was to build a dialogue integrating the samples with the vocals where each sample would be part of the rhyme.
Mission accomplished!

lyrics

I got the shotgun
You got the briefcase
About to pop one
Roll up steal your cheesecake
Gunning for the top gun
Running get your fees paid
Gonna have to drop one
Cheat my enemies fake

The game is rigged
You can say you did
You can claim your big
But your grave you dig
Cannot lose if you do not play
Look for who not pay
Those who roam astray
Be a blue note day

Well I've heard very bad bad
Bad things about you people
And I'll do whatever the fuck it is I have to do
Run up and attacking you
Chav'll have a stab at you
Smack you till your black and blue
Avenue crack crew
Sun shade
Hail or rain
Custom suit tailor made
Hats fit with razor blades

I heard you dress well
But now I see
Not so well as me
He was my Uncle
Imposters telling me
Better stop your jealousy
Cost of killing me
Be more than a felony
My family in Sicily

He's my Uncle
So every stitch stitched with blood
Stitch stitched with blood
Then there's you
Fucking breadstick in a bowtie

Heads nothing to go by
Feds looking to low lie
You pay now
You no die

Man money ain't got no owners
Shark loaners on corners
Beepers and phoners
Leave debtors in comas

Only spenders
One way dead enders
Look the wall is tremendous
Now the Penthouse don't lend us

Thin line between heaven and hell
At the gates just ringing the bell
The waiting room starting to smell
The hate is breaking my shell

You come at the king
You best not miss
You got nothing to bring
You can cut those wrists
The fallen angel sing
Cross you off my list
Now you just got dissed
And you cease to exist

You think I'm blind, I'm deaf
Think I don't mind the rest
Think I won't sign your death
As I dine on your last breath
No you didn't pass the test
You're a bit past the best
Tony escort my guest

All in the game yo, all in the game
Counting the same dough
All look the same yo
Saying though
Just let it rain so
Money's a tango
Energy drain so

I mean look at me
Look at look at look at you
When I look and read
Monkey see
Monkey do
If a monkey bleed
Monkey blood
Monkey true
If you do the deed
Monkey good
Monkey through
