about

Donwill: This song was originally gonna be me and Jack Davey (of the group j*davey) trading verses. I'm not even sure if she remembers or knows about this but yeah, that's what was planned. That didn't happen and the song ended up kinda just laying around for a while. I tend to always ask random people on to my songs, the only rule is that you can't be a recording artist. There is something about the way a person who isn't a trained or practicing vocalist sounds during playback that I love. One day out of boredom I asked my girl at the time to drop write a verse and id coach her on how to recite it. For some reason I remember helping her write the actual words but she says that it was all her. She is probably right, as usual.

SuhBURB: Apparently the distorted vocal on this kept the album from getting a push from Loud Minority/IM. Growing up on my parents R&B (shouts to KBLX Oakland San Francisco San Joseeeee) and the hip-hop I could find for myself, it took me until I went to college to really get into rock and roll. One of the first things that really struck me about a lot of it was the willingness to distort vocal tracks for effect. In rock, it's usually done on similarly rough or strident songs, but the beat here is so lush that I think it makes for a nice contrast.

lyrics

VERSE 1: audio visual for every individual/ precedents we kill em and the president we kill him to/ burnin bush but i aint tryna get political, just say some fly shit to make all the party people move/ rockin gaudy sequined jewels fresh new exclusive shoes/ def like im old school but still on that new improved/ decoy b-boys weak ploys we destroy/ speak for the ones who live it yep we they voice/ trendy ass hipsters on down to the felons/ got a lil bit of everything and thats why we sellin/ sit and scratch what im spellin in my college ruled, college schooled/ held a job or two but raps what i gotta do/ follow who? yeah right fuck a fad/ red carpet is the target, flick it up for the mags/ man we diggin in yo stash on that debo shit/ for them funds an them fans yep we want it

CHORUS thats word, you see what im sayin? on the mic there wont be no delayin ( repeat x 2)

VERSE 2: i thought i told you cats im not a rapper/ but im still better than you fake actors/ if i wrote it or not thats not factor/ im flyer than alot of yall and thats what matters/ on to a new chapter yall lame/ runnin in place stuck in the same mind frame/ im tryna live my life make it on my own/ yall up in the club actin sexy and grown/ we need respect shown, im tryna make a difference/ do some good on earth for the time that i visit/ if its permitted change a life or two/ and still look good in my high heeled shoes/ pretty brown eyes and looks that can kill/ and i stay on ya mind cus my style is ill/ petite five feet and a half inch maybe/ sassy shay's a sexy lady
