about

The first true song that was finished for the project, the beat was inspired by RZA, 9th Wonder and modern day Alchemist styled production. It is the song that set the tone for the rest of the songs I made. The lyrics include references to pop culture, much like every other song but is written in an unconventional 31 bar verse, just like Baskin Robbins' 31 flavors of ice cream. The song is a triumphant end to finally finding a new direction to take my music for this release.

lyrics

"Wish You Were Here" on the "Dark Side," it’s gettin’ hotter
Take your daughter and throw her into some Roger Waters
Expose her to psychadelics, she’ll wanna call her father
Some "Animals" jump out "The Wall," and some "Midnight Marauders"

Could take your wallet, and your Silkk, so go an meet the Shocker
Feelin harmonic, the chronic could help us mix our chakras
Sip the tonic, bubonic, because I’m sick and coughin’
Pier 39 with the chips and lobster

Thirty bucks is something to me
When I’m working 9-5, so I be up on a beat
And I could do without a cuss in my speech
But, how would I know if you was fuckin with me?

My circle bout the size of a ring
"Fly like a Eagle," if you minus the wings
Feet still on the ground, beats ripple and pound
"Good Vibrations," I could feel it in my fillings and crowns

Art thou feeling it now?
Mr. Krabbs admit to that, and now I’m killin’ the sound
Mixin Outkast with Riff Raff, some melons and gin
Put on some Diamond and you get the ATLien Twins

What do I need? And all they tell me is flow
Put the Keisha and the Sha up in the "Belly" and "Blow"
Schemin’ up at five, at the telly and joke, ‘cause
I see ya Instagram selfies and quotes

And oooooo, you a cute lil thang
Used to wanna be The Rock until I knew he was Dwayne
And Davy just keep Jones-in away
The Brady Bunch could probably use a lil’ Wayne

Kirby made a brick when he fight Peach
Dirty thoughts invading these nice dreams
~31 bars for every flavor of ice… cream
