                   This is what happens when a old man raps,
                   but it doesn’t matter ‘cause I’m talkin’ bout taps.
                   I’m talkin’ ‘bout death, removin’ the breath
                   ain’t givin’ you a thing, dog.
                   Makin’ you their war dog
                   for the sake of their gold,
                   the sake of their greed,
                   sake of their thing,
                   and their god is the dollar,
                   bling, bling.

I rerecorded a lot of this and remixed most of it. So, I’m giving it another try.

There's nothing too complicated here. It’s about as simple as a song can be.

What may seem like stereotyping is really a message that we are all in this together.

I can understand and speak Spanish, but I’m not sure about the language’s nuances. The lyrics mean “Bring Pablo (or whomever) to his/her home”. If you know a more appropriate way to say that, could you please let me know?

I listened to all your recent songs and I think I like this the best. I think I should put a disclaimer here because I know less about music than I do about poetry. And I don't know jackship about poetry.

Music temps me to believe in Intelligent Design. I resist. I have joined the church of G d The Utterly Indifferent. (Sirens of Titan, Vonnegut)

Thanks, st, I can always count on you for a boost.

From what I hear, the days for allowing such ideas on the internet may be numbered. You have heard of the “two tiered” internet, haven’t you? I’ll find a good write up and I’ll direct anyone there who wants to go there. That is, of course, if there is still a there to go to.
