Riffmaster General ridiculous. I'm a grownup brutal metal head but this shit just tore me apart.... This "Little Guy"song is way more powerful than many and many metal and rock songs... not speaking of masterpieces like Superboo and shadowland, cool homage to Foo Fighters, QOTSA, Nick Cave and Johnny Cash. And also Fun Loving Criminals which also is very cool. Favorite track: Little Guy.

Little Guy 03:33
Let me tell you ‘bout my favourite boy A boy who fills me up with a singular joy Now I gotta say this straight — it really must be stated That everything around him, well, is kinda complicated I ain’t talking ‘bout religion, or coming out as gay But even if I were, I would love him anyway Because he’s everything I wanted. I know that he’s the one. This extraordinary boy…he is my son. Who’s my little guy? (x4) In a faraway land, between the sea and the sky Was the place where I first met the apple of my eye I was scared at the time – and it seemed so unreal Didn’t know how to act, or even less how to feel So, I cried and I prayed, and tried to stay calm Made deal with the Universe and fought with his mom And then I stepped away, and got cool and aloof I needed some space, yeah, and needed more proof But then with every little picture…and every little movie You dug into my heart and worked your way right through me It didn’t matter where I ran, or all the things I tried to do There was just one thought inside my head — it’s YOU. Who’s my little guy – it’s Raimi (x4) But when I returned, all afraid of being rejected There were bigger things at play, because your lungs were infected And I will never forget that night, on that boat across the bay We were rushing to the hospital and a storm was on the way As I held you in my arms beneath the rain and all my tears I saw you try to smile, and I flashed back many years To a crazy old lady, who claimed she was a psychic She tried to see my future, but the meaning came out cryptic She said that I was made of lightning — this world was not my home That I’d find it all too frightening, and I’d always feel alone Until one magical day, when the sky calls my name I’d be joined by a soul, who was born of the same As I remembered her words, that’s when you touched my face I felt your little hand, and I was blinded by grace Turns out you were made of lightning, too, it cannot be denied ‘cause from that moment on I was electrified Who’s my little guy? (x8) I would kill for you kid and there were times I nearly did I’m just glad that you’re okay, yeah I can’t believe it’s been a year, let’s sing out a birthday cheer I hope you know I’m here to stay, yeah I found heaven your smile and you made me reconcile All the selfishness within my master plan So that can all just fade away now — I’d rather sit and play now, ‘cause every moment shared with you makes me a better man Who’s my little guy – it’s Raimi (x4) Yeah, yeah, yeahhhhh.

Tractor 04:35
Yeah, I got one for ya... This man asks me the other day, when he finds out I have a kid, ‘What was his first word?’ Huh? You wanna know my boy’s first word? Why is that important to you? And he just smiles, and I’m thinkin’ man... this cat KNOWS somethin’. And then I’m thinkin’ how MY first word, aside from the usual suspects like mama, papa, and poo-poo... was ‘TOAST’. Yup, I had a thing with gluten from the start. That’s some foreshadowing and shit. But he goes on to tell me that there’s on old wives-tale that says our first word can speak volumes on our true natures. Like a symbol of our connection with the world. A totem of our deepest desire. A manifestation of our higher selves.... and I’m back to thinkin’ about TOAST. But then I think of my boy. I remember the day he pointed a chubby finger out at the field behind the house. At the big orange thing rumbling across that field, with its trail of broken earth and smoke. And then he looks up at me, opens that sweet cherub’s mouth of his, and makes music in a single word... My boy is bright, doesn’t need to be brighter My boy is strong, but he don’t need to be a fighter My boy is quick, but he don’t need to win a race My boy is handsome, and not just in his face He’s giant among you, though he’s not that big He will school you on the trivia from Peppa Pig He’s ahead of the curve, man, ahead of his time There’s not a jungle gym around that he cannot climb He is clever and defiant and a mischief maker All the ladies they will say that he’s a ‘future heartbreaker’ But there’s only one thing that this boy is after ‘Cause he said his first word... and it was TRACTOR. If I was saving Zelda, I would let him play me If I were a salmon, I would let him filet me If I was on Survivor I would let him betray me I would give my last breath for my true love, Raimi Not a typical boy, he’s more than what you think He’s into muay thai, and monsters, and wearin’ pink And he spoke in three tongues at the age of two I heard German, Thai, and English, what’s a dad to do? And though his sentences are Asian, and his no is ‘NEIN’ and some days he calls me Burger, man, that’s just fine ‘cause his first real word, comes down from the divine God made me a witness...and TRACTOR was mine (x3) Got a compact frame, with a sleek form factor He can climb like a monkey, a banana extractor No, he ain’t a supermodel or a soap opera actor But he burns like the sun – he’s a nuclear reactor Got all the right angles, don’t need no protractor Realigned my world, just like a chiropractor Bends light to my soul, he’s a master refractor Bodhisatva in training, he’s a karmic contractor Squashes down sadness like a garbage compactor Covers up misdeeds like a corporate redactor All the numbers move to him, a mathematic attractor Down with the rubber trees, he’s a prophylactor A Magnum bar pimp, he’s an ice cream exactor But all my boy wants is a motherfuckin’ tractor Movin’ in that field boy. Seeing that machine growl and GRIND. Leavin’ its mark deep in the earth. You know what you are? You’re an earth-shaker. You’re a world changer. You’re my son. my number one. And now I see your true nature. Driven in diesel and dust. Strong and sure and unstoppable. ‘cause your first word... ...was tractor. It was tractor. TRACTOR.

Pancake 02:38
When the rain keeps falling...and the skies conspire When you feelin’ the Hunger – what you feel is Desire. and behind those clouds, I swear, the sun still above Fill up that belly, boy...and wash it down with love. Wake up and we be goin’ for a dope drive Got the feelin’ that we kickin’ just to be alive Sunshine with the breezy on our faces Jungle lane with them easy kinda spaces Catch flow when the motorbike rollin’ Shift low in the mutable Moment Set tone for the day beginnin’ All those hearts that we be winnin’ Them bones gonna taste so sweet, yeah Big jones for a bite-sized treat, yeah In the shop, laid out on the tables breakfast dreams and feast of fables God knows that we can’t go slow, but so tricky when you passin’ on the donut rice sticky with a mango shake, yet all my baby wants is a Pancake Pannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnncake (x2) All the girls comin’ strong like a stalker little bad boy needs a VPN blocker keep his hands clean, that ain’t no shocker just one Betty he want — it’s Crocker Pannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn-CAKE (x2) He want the thin one that’s rolled up tight ‘cause it fits in his hand and feels so right well he shook me out of sleep at the crack of dawn and just three bites later that shit was gone and then the UFO cake comes once a week he’ll be stuffin’ in his face til he cannot speak it’s crispy on the edge and glazed in thai honey big satisfaction, very small money wash ‘em down and we’re wide awake now Singing as we ride and the morning breaks, yeah that’s the kind of Happiness you cannot fake when all you need is love... and a little bit of pancake. PANCAKE (x3) All you need is love... and a little bit of Pancake.

One & Only 03:51
Hear you breathing by side It’s a secret that my heart could never hide Can’t believe it’s been two years Another lifetime and a another kind of tears Na Na Na Naaaaa x3 We take a slow drive ‘round the isle People waving as they celebrate your smile But how did all this come to be? All this joy that somehow started life in me I didn’t see That until now I’d been so lonely But then you came My pride and joy My One and Only Watch you frolic in the sand Fall in love each time you’re reaching for my hand See you swinging through in the air Banana ice cream you were kind enough to share I didn’t see That until now I’d been so lonely But then you came My pride and joy My One and Only I have sailed upon the seas I have soared through all the skies I was searching for my soul And I found it in your eyes After all I’ve said and done After all the wasted time Can’t believe I have a son Can’t believe that you are mine And as I lay you down to rest Pull you close and put your head upon my chest See you smile, hear you sigh This is Happiness, and it makes me wanna cry I didn’t see That until now I’d been so lonely But then you came My pride and joy My One and Only (x2) I’d been so lonely til my One and Only

RAIMISAURUS 04:23
Esteemed colleagues... we have made an astonishing discovery. Deep in the jungles of a remote island in the heart of the Andaman sea... we believe we have found definitive proof of a heretofore unknown Apex Predator. I had long suspected this to be true. But with this...we may well rewrite history! Awww yeah it’s the ORIGINAL — his designation is Classic You're just a victim in a pickle, like a jar full o’ Vlassic. Underestimate his power ‘cause those teeth are plastic He will tear down your World, and then rename it Jurassic If you didn't know before it's time to get off the Shortbus Buy some new pants 'cause your piss made them porous Bow to the King, and sing his name out in chorus You survive at the mercy of the Raimisaurus. Thank the heavens he's a heavy with a heart that’s heroic Can't be swayed by a dollar or some doe-eyed ho chick Strong-forged like steel, unaffected like a Stoic He was swimin’ in volcanoes in the pre-Mesozoic Got a lightspeed flow, there is no way to outpace this Dropping bars like bones, so you can call him loquacious kickin' FAT beats, 'cause his mind is so spacious Ruling this rhyme just like he conquered the Cretaceous Genetic Superman in his little Metropolis Spewing down fire, ‘cause my boy spits phosphorous Call the undertaker ‘cause you’ll need a sarcophogus Veggie ladykiller, like a Parasaurolophus Total freak of nature and a master adapter he rapped and slapped and snapped...and then he tapped her A Pteradon? A Megalodon? Velociraptor? He played while they perished, then wrote the new chapter Get on your knees, sinner, and swear to adore us Be you Scorpio or Gemini, a Cancer or Taurus Astrologically, the stars say who is for us and God help you if it’s Retrograde in Raimisaurus Catch you in his grip and feel him sink that vise in Triceratops charging like a three-horned bison Dilophosaurus spittin hot rhymes like ricin Chewin’ on his foes like Holyfield fed Tyson Asteroid extinction if you ever try to rhyme this Immune to your shit like he was made in your thymus gland. Damn! Moves so fast the kid is timeless as he tramples you in a seconds like a herd of Gallimimus To anyone listening...please... do NOT attempt entry at the given co-ordinates. We captured a specimen. But it came at a terrible price. Many good men and women were lost. To contain it. To study it. But now...it broke free... and is loosed upon the world. Dear God...have mercy on us all. Fighting and biting and writing rhymes so exciting that You’ll never see it coming when he strikes you like lightning He is tiny but frightening, got no teeth that need whitening, Blind you with that grin, just like the Buddha — enlightening, His effects? Complex! He will feast on false respects Watch him hunt down these clowns and scream out Who’s Next? All you quitters can’t be bitter when you’re watching him flex He needs a BAD babysitter or a nanny T-Rex You call yourself a tank and that your name means Ankylo You’re mammoth in proportion, so they say that you’re Brachio Got a head like a wrecking ball, it’s Pachyo-sephalo But none of you can spit, you’re just bitches that swallow Think you’re competition, but you really set the low bar. Turn out the lights, and he’s like Batman with sonar Hungry like the wolf, well how you likin’ him so far? Tell your next of kin they’d better check the OR Concentrated confidence and natural pride, yo Cuddles like a kitten with the lion inside, yo Smells you when he tells you there’s no place to hide, yo Gut you like a fish and make your backbone slide OHHHH Tune in to his station - pledge allegiance to his nation Get another student loan and then a thorough education If you pray to be saved, then ask the gods of creation if reincarnation can fix your mental castration He’s a junior Godzilla, got the instincts of a killer, he stomps and chomps and romps, like Jackson doin’ thriller Got a jones for digging bones and catching fuzzy caterpillar If you bribe to survive? His favourite flavour is vanilla And it’s only just beginning, it’s the start of his reign Beat you down like Sandman with his singapore cane Like Roosevelt he’s speaking soft but bringing the pain Yeah he’s my big stick boy, with an even bigger brain! You cannot face this foe with bombs or even a thesaurus We warned you time and time again, but still you ignored us You denied, and lied, and cried...and shit, then you bored us So now you learn what happens... when you f@#$ with Raimisaurus

Well then...Once Upon A Time There was a man who said that Love was only fleeting And he travelled ‘round the world just having fun and breaking hearts like window panes Was too drunk to see the signs, the waving flags of red upon that fateful meeting. But when the oyster made a pearl he knew from that day on he’d never be the same. Niiiine...months...later As he sat within the sterile room the doctors sliced her open. There was a hammer in his chest, and then his bladder nearly burst out from his fly. But even facing down with certain doom He swallowed hard right then and there and squeezed her hand Watched them pull you from her belly, saw you take a breath, and joined in your first cry. Miiiiiiiiiiiister, Mister - lead me by the hand Misssssssster, Mister - help me see Misssssster, Mister - make me understand When you’re the only thing that matters now then what the hell is happening to me?? Now....you’re....turning three and if you don’t get ice cream every day you throw a tantrum. When you pull his hair and bite his hand and kick him in the balls, and then applaud. ‘cause your dad cannot remember the last time you didn’t hold his sleep for ransom. So just eat the fucking broccoli and let him poop in peace, so help me God... Miiiiiiiiiiiister, Mister - take me by the hand Misssssssster, Mister - show me the way Misssssster, Mister - was this your master plan? When you’re the center of the Universe Then what the hell is left for me to say? He...is...painfully aware Of all the flaws and faults and sins that leave him wanting When he looks into the mirrors of your eyes He see the Goodness and the Bad. So, he prays most every day that he will find the strength to walk a path that’s worthy. Because the only thing he wants to have is knowing you are proud to call him ‘Dad’ Lahhhh, La, La-Lahhhhhhh. La, La, La, La-Lahhhhh (x4) I’d...still...swim across the ocean as a sign of my devotion I would run a million miles just to see another smile I would starve myself for weeks to give a pinch upon those cheeks And they could whip me til I’m stinging for a chance to hear you singing of the love inside your heart because your favourite thing is ME! MISTER, MISTER!!!

She Rolls 03:03
Well there once was a girl and she travelled all the world where she met so many people and they thought she was a pearl with a perfect button nose and eyes just like the sky so pretty when she’s laughin’, but I hate to see her cry and she’s smart like a whip, she’ll take ya for a trip I ain’t never met a little chick who’s so darn hip Well, it’s true...Oooh-ooh, it’s You And I tried so very hard in the hopes she’d be my friend but the girl she won’t pretend, so I’m gonna try again Because I wanna be her buddy, in the puddles that are muddy and cheer for her achieving all her goals Cuz that is how she rolls Cuz that is how she rolls And that is how she rolls That is how she rollllllllls, yeah... We love her as a daughter, she’s the bomb big sister and all the boys are beggin’ but she didn’t let ‘em kiss her and even when we fighting it ain’t long before I miss her the German, Thai and English she’s a walking tongue twister there’s something undeniable, but also so reliable in all her crazy ways she can make her love so viable reaches in my heart then she squeeze until it’s pliable. True...Oooh-ooh, it’s You Well her name means a fairy, but we just call her Faye And the world’s better place when she’s brightening the day and I love to watch her learnin’ and I live to see she play and I never can predict the naughty words she’s gonna say so I drop to my knees and I begin to pray That she never never ever says that I should go away… I wanna bear witness and watch how her world unfolds Cuz that is how she rolls x4 I never thought I’d know a girl who was so strong I never hoped to have a home where I belong I am a better man, in this I swear I’m true So many things I learned, and all because of You And that is how she rolls that is how she rolls Yeah that is how she rolls Cuz that is how she rolls.

SHADOWLAND 04:51
When the cold winds blow and the waters flow upon the distant shore And the fires burn, and the Earth it churns, and the swords are raised for War. Then plant ‘em deep as the Watchers sleep, and abandon all you know... Of the Blood and Stones for the Lover’s bones ‘cause you’re reaping what you sow. Find the One Who Hears through the Veil of Tears with the fang of the Great Cat’s maw. When the stars are right let the Clans unite and bequeath the Black Dog’s claw. Then you have but two of the Devil’s due and the Magic’s sure to fail... with the Blood and Stones for the Lover’s bones ‘less you cleave the Servant’s tail. Take my hand in the Shadowland (x2) You don’t know what they got planned You’d better take my hand in the Shadowland Take my hand in the Shadowland (x2) There’s no way you’ll understand You gotta take my hand in the Shadowland And now with Three Far beyond the sea and within Orion’s breast Over golden sand in the Shadowland will you face the Final Test For the Key is bound ’neath hallowed ground to release it, yeah you need Four When the Scarab flies then the Gate swings wide And the Dead...will sleep no more (x6) Take my hand in the Shadowland (x2) You don’t know what they got planned You’d better take my hand in the Shadowland Take my hand in the Shadowland (x2) There’s no way you’ll understand you gotta take my hand in the Shadowland Take my hand in the Shadowland (x7)

Bumpy 03:12
Oh my child, well I know that things ain’t easy... but I am on the road with you And I know we’ll make it through... It’s true. From the first day, put me on the hard way Slippin’ all the shadows of a karma that I gotta pay meth-mom chronicles, didn’t really miss her til five foster homes, and a throwaway sister smacked by a Chevy on the eve o' turning seven astrologically they said I was supposed to go Heaven I declined. You think I’m outta my mind? I am cut from other cloth it’s the Bodhisattva kind Understanding...even when I’m so demanding, ’cause this life is full of suffering no matter what you’re planning and the only way to make it is compassion — empathy for others even in their evil action every soul is climbing blind up the Ladder, man terrified of falling as they pray to God they matter, and the Truth is that we’re living in confusion: ignorance and ego at the root of our delusion I’ve been there son, busy bee chasing honey Used to pollinate the flowers, then I gave ‘em all my money Rags to riches to rags, it’s all bullshit Be an Avatar instead and do the air-bending shit Not like me, cuz I'm Zuko in the Fire nation Driven by Desire and creative masturbation made a show about holography and spiritual biology certified approval — Tom Cruise Scientology Had the fantasies, destroying all my enemies believing that a life of fame would always be a friend to me Studio city with the television pitches — venti mocha frap, downward dog yoga bitches then the agent who deceived me sent me out for TV had a deal at HBO and Survivor said they need me PTSD, but now I’m doin’ super fine and you can ask Jeff Probst about Season 39 Used to say my life is Charlie Brown’s football a promise leads to hope and then you run and take a big fall there were honestly so many days that I surrendered to the notion I’m a failure to the planet and my gender I’m alive and at your service out of habit, ‘cause I dropped the brass ring more damn times than I could grab it Was the next-big-thing, but now I’m dumpy Lost my smile, went from sunny-side to grumpy So, next time you bitch ‘cause your soup is gettin' lumpy Let me remind you, son — The road we on is bumpy. Bumpy. Oh my child, I know that it ain’t easy... but I am on the road with you And I know we’ll make it through... It’s true.

Phase 03:11
Aim high...Swing low You cry...I don’t wanna go We give...Each day They live...Take it all away Don’t wanna...be a bother I’m just tryin’...to be a father And you can ask Him...as my witness All I need is...your forgiveness 'cause I was lost and living in a haze... Now I get it I was goin’ through a phase Why can’t we always be together I want to share this life forever. Want...need...plant...seed Run...fly...live...die Wrong way...romance... she say...no chance So cold...my wish... ’fore I’m old and sleepin’ with the fish Quit the cigarettes... fix the big regrets New messiah but He hasn’t come back yet Tried to stop ya but you found your way in Took your first breath even with the medicine. Wasn’t ready for it so I had to leave her then you call my name and I am a believer In my blood, in my mind, in the flow of time Servin’ out my sentence with you almost makes it feel sublime Gonna push thru, when the debt comes due and please know this much is true I made my bed and now my only job’s to shepherd You Gave up one dream for another gave up my soul to your mother Gave up my life so we could always have each other Why can’t we always be together I want to share this life forever. Now I’m high...when I was low Now I cry...‘cause I don’t wanna go What you give...Each day so I live...you take the pain away In your eyes...in my hands In our lives...now I understand Can you hear it...never fear it Heaven sent you here to resurrect my spirit Found my reason found my Heart Now I am prayin’ we won’t ever be apart ‘cause All my life I was runnin’ through a maze Now I get it I was goin’ through a phase

Monsters 03:26
I see that my baby’s havin’ trouble with his sleeping Sayin’ that your head’s full o' fools that be creeping’ Wake up in a sweat — sometimes I hear you screaming’ Scared of all the things that be waiting when you dreaming Now I pull you close, and babe…you need to listen Nothin’s gonna touch you without my permission So let me tell you how I understand what you feel ‘cause it took me way too long to learn monsters are REAL Forget about Vampires, don’t mean ghosts, ain’t talkin’ ‘bout demonic host It was evil close to home that always scared me the most, yeah Born by a cemetery, top of the hill, you know I walked on all the graves, and I remember them still Never hurt me or subvert me, no they just shared their stories I had a proper education with the stone allegories they read of sacrifice and suffering and dying too soon and even children who were taken by the light of the moon It was no good, I understood that life is made out of pain And even those who say they helping, only do it for gain Just like the time I had six teeth pulled right out of my head, yo I screamed and bled and the dentist joked that maybe I was dead, WHOA! The man who spoke of righteousness - they said he’s a preacher And the ones who taught us science, well they called themselves Teachers But when they beat me, cheat me, then defeat me I cried for help and gave my plea but you just looked away the day I almost drowned, you see? The fear it got inside me…and it dug in deep til I could see it in the mirror, and hear it whisper in my sleep It was lurking in the shadows, and it beckoned from the black Getting closer and closer, and there was no turning back til at school I saw it grinnin’ in some mean kids’ eyes but when I tried to tell the teacher, she said ‘I’m sick of your lies’ So I ran home to my room and let my poor mind go wild cuz there was something very wrong now with this freak-ass child, yeah I watched horror movie killers and studied comic book villains For the world done made me sick so monsters were my penicillin And I learned everything I could about the circles of hell, what? The demons and the devils and the secret places they dwell, but... The REAL scary shit was the kids who lived down the lane A gang of jocks with a handful rocks who said they’d bash in my brains Like a bitch I ran and fell in a ditch, to a flooded storm drain the kids laughed and they spat and celebrated my pain Just a small-town evil, right? just like a stranger thing. So, I Summoned a Demogorgon... cast a spell for MY demon king I will trade my soul, you can have it whole, just give me vengeance and might Then I spilled some blood and called his name til the morning’s first light But my prayers went unanswered, yeah, that’s a running joke for me and that’s what I did, I RAN from that town to a university. Into my waiting doom: a concrete room, a prison under key and lock and I thought the rules would keep me safe, but son I was in for a shock because the inmates smelled my weakness, like wolves all ready to feed They howled with joy when I cried out, placed bets on who’d make me bleed And I begged for help from friends and even strangers, but none were forgiving I had received my life sentence — and the cell I got was living But then one day I fell sick, and in the fever I had a vision It was no mistake, two paths I could take: either worship or derision And when the fever broke, no joke, I swear that’s when everything changed The weak and sad and desperate boy..? Now a grown man, deranged I put sugar in your gas tank and seduced all your girls Put some boom in the oven, man, then I blew up your world Found the biggest and the baddest, and took a home-run swing Made a hundred wedding vows but never gave one a ring And I laughed and sneered and beat my chest as I watched ‘em all weep But the rush it turned to terror every night in my sleep Because the PAIN was my monster, upon a throne inside my head And in this kingdom of fear the beast would reign until I was dead But then all these years later the nightmares finally ceased ‘cause the magic in your eyes, that was my gateway to peace You’re an angel of compassion on a mission to heal Cuz everyone is suffering, son… and monsters are REAL.

Flying 03:50
I’m flying, I’m flying I’m flying and I wasn’t even trying. I’m flying, I’m flying Yeah, I’m flying, but maybe I’m just dying. Lookin’ down on the world from a great height Like a bird, but it still doesn’t feel right Gettin’ high in the pull of temptation And I packed for a long vacation Know the weight of an unanswered question Gravity to me – that’s only ‘suggestion’ Make your peace and don’t look down again Nothin’ left to lose except your only friend Spread my wings and I’m goin’ even higher I won’t miss you — you know that I’m a liar All I got is a prison with a view All I need is a Heaven here with you I’m flying, I’m flying I’m flying and I wasn’t even trying. I’m flying, I’m flying Yeah, I’m flying but maybe I’m just dying. Will you forget who I am? Will you remember the plan? Can you learn how to forgive? Can we have more time to live? What if you don’t know the way? What if I promise to stay? When will you learn how to fly? When are we saying goodbye? Will I forget who I am Will I remember the plan Can I learn how to forgive Can I have more time to live What if I don’t know the way What if I promise to stay When will I know how to fly When are we saying goodbye? Flying.

FOUR 03:04
We roll...time passin’ Hold tight, gonna make the belt fasten Count it down, ‘cause I’m keepin’ score Turnin’ 1, 2, 3 and 4 Take my hand, and stand for the new day Take notes, in the syllables I’m gonna say Now we made it, celebrate it, get it underway 48 months of unadulterated play Give a bow to the north south east and west Give praise to the sun and beat your chest Give love to the ones that treat you best Forgive the meek, and fuck the rest, ‘cause He was born with a master schematic Four in the formula, it’s mathematic if algebra is right, then it makes him quadratic You pushin’ on the clutch, but he does it automatic Four-face Brahma, pass the four yugas Four Noble Truths in the words of the Buddha Four archangels, hittin’ on the hookah He’s the Four Horsemen galloping through ya In four dimensions, movin’ through time four-line verses to build up his rhyme Tetragrammaton, God’s word sublime counting the chambers in this heart of mine Purple is the ball, but four is the number Drain that bitch clockwise if you’re down under getting old enough for my favourite plumber Mario 4, in a world of wonder! Got the fascination every time he speaks yeh see the evolution through the days and weeks yeh think of what he’s like by the time he peaks yeh Wanna be the source of everything he seeks, come on! 1, 2, 3, 4 – there’s a monster at your door, I say 4, 3, 2, 1 – don’t be scared, he’s here for fun, c’mon 1, 2, 3, 4 – baby kill the lights and hit the floor, I said 4, 3, 2, 1 – you’re gonna bust a move until he’s done Come on! Slippin’ like a shadow and it’s always comin’ at ya Dippin’ in the groove, then rise in the Rapture Hittin’ on the honeys he be aimin’ to capture Threesome, non – menage a quatre. Raise your hands, it’s a convocation time to swing loose for a celebration Four is the answer to the Equation Two-times-two, if you’re feeling brazen Nothing’s ever wrong when you roll with the right chick hittin’ that ass, like a billy with a night stick sippin’ from a forty in a bag, that’s a cheap trick Strawberry quik? that shit will make you sick luck comes in threes, but we comin’ in fours and everything that’s mine is eventually yours but if we gonna fight, then we settle the scores I can wipe your butt, and you can do my chores, HA! Keep the lines straight with the four right angles make me a square, better yet: rectangle Illuminati eye within the triangle Dolla dolla bill, y’all, get star-spangled Four sheets gone and a four-leaf clover 24/7 with a milk hangover On all fours when you call red rover Four on the floor til the game is over 1...2...3...4 We roll...time passin’ Hold tight, wanna make it last and I could never love anyone more My boy was 3... and now he’s 4.

Hey Ray 03:38
Well sometimes life Can get in the way of a good thing Sometimes the world Might seem to pull us apart But even though I’m far away I love you more than words can say So, I wrote this song And I’m singin’ straight from the heart Hey Ray, how’s it goin’? Hey Ray, I hope you’re feelin’ fine Hey Ray…well, I wish you a beautiful day Just remember — I am yours and you are mine Now every time I go I cry a little bit longer And it tears me up If I hear you’re not doin’ well So, let me swear to the Gods above that I’d do anything to keep your love I would march into Heaven Or kick down the gates of Hell Singin’ hey Ray, how’s it goin’? Hey Ray, I hope you’re feelin’ fine Hey Ray…well, I wish you a beautiful day Just remember — I am yours and you are mine Well, I wish that I could speed up time Or cross the sea in a blink I know that leavin’ you’s a crime Can’t imagine what you must think But don’t be lonely, don’t be scared You got your big sister and your mama’s care I promise real soon I’ll move the sun and the moon And have you back in my arms Before you know I wasn’t there… Singin’ to ya HEY RAY...how’s it goin’? Hey Ray, I hope you’re feelin’ fine Hey Ray…well, I wish you a beautiful day Just remember — I am yours and you are mine EVERYBODY – HEY RAY, how’s it goin’? Hey Ray, I hope you’re feelin’ fine Hey Ray…well, I wish you a beautiful day Just remember, I am yours and you are mine Don’t’ forget that I am yours and you are mine Now and forever, I am yours... Will you be mine? Please say that you are mine.

Que Sera 02:38
When I was just a little boy I asked my mummy, what will I be Will I be famous Will I be rich Here's what she said to me... Que sera, sera Whatever will be, will be The future's not ours to see Que sera, sera What will be, will be When I grew up and fell in love I asked my sweetheart, what lies ahead Will we have rainbows Day after day? Here's what my sweetheart said... Que sera, sera Whatever will be, will be The future's not ours to see Que sera, sera What will be, will be Now I have children of my own They ask their daddy, what will I be Will I be famous Will I be rich? I tell them tenderly... Que sera, sera Whatever will be, will be The future's not ours to see Que sera, sera What will be, will be Que sera, sera!
