I'd had this riff for a few years without doing anything with it, finally made it into a full track, type of ska hop electro,
The Jelly sample scratched up by Kirsa just takes the whole thing to another level!
lyrics
Not got a penny, can you lend me, getting steady, are you ready
Don't be petty, gotta let me, come and prep me if you ready
Heading on my journey and you heard me, don't concern me
Try to worm with your sermon and determine what I'm learning
Rhythm spark, heart'll start, dunno what's the hardest part
Permanently leave a mark, bite like a dog'll bark
Water running, overflow, when I gone be sober though
As above so below, gotta try to get the dough
Getting silly with a tinny, and it really is a pity
Like the truth when it hit me, gotta get up out the city
Looking like a dummy, not funny, don't shun me
Though I'm running outta money still the weathers looking sunny
Heading on a roller coast, raise your glass, make a toast
Who's gonna make the most, who's first past the post
Staring at a hairy belly, muscle gone turned to jelly
French cheese, love a deli, Belly's gonna… don't tell me
Hey Jo, stay low, just say no, pay dough
Get set go, retro, just let show, rainbow, say
Hey Jo, stay low, just say no, pay dough
Get set go, retro, just let show, rainbow
Oh how the time goes, really where your dreams go
Dilly dally stream flow, slow blow domino
Falling the crow flew, get what you sow, true
Regret what you don't do, Step with your best shoes
Spinning like a spinning top Falling like a belly flop
Shopping like a tele shop, stopped by a tele cop
Really not selling myself, not dwelling on self
My dwelling, my health, need shilling, need stealth
My shelf needs filling, my teeth need drilling
My drink keeps spilling, they keep on billing
I'm willing my soul, stop digging that hole
Start filling that hole, I've been in control
My role is blurry, mixed up inventory
Like spice in my curry, day groundhog Murray
So hurry up and choose one, got my new shoes on
Gotta get my cruise on, trying to write a new song
Wake up in the morning, put on yesterday's recording
My slumber's gone since dawn and ill be sipping coffee yawning
My living rooms a studio
Get a little food to go, got me in the mood to flow
Sounding like its super dope
You could think you got me cos you caught me in the lobby
But you probably be sloppy, and I'm hopping, never stop me
Dunno what you think you taught me
But my foremothers before me, got the BIOS to install me
Now I'm working on my hobby
Hey Jo, stay low, just say no, pay dough
Get set go, retro, just let show, rainbow, say
Hey Jo, stay low, just say no, pay dough
Get set go, retro, just let show, rainbow
