Finding Momentum

mm. so bloated. just fyi.

gEECS have fin­ished record­ing their first sin­gle today and we are on our way to drop­ping a hot CS rap flow on yall. dur­ing finals week. so we have a good excuse not to do work.

those mon­ster energy drinks are like 16 fluid ounces of legal­ized drugs. i’m serious.

Hit it! 3:10 min­utes of mediocre rapping!

“What, what. It’s the hot track hit­ting radio sta­tions across the coun­try. It’s the com­bined tal­ents of three stay-at-home forty-something pro­gram­mers liv­ing the fast-paced and dan­ger­ous lifestyle of SCHEME as they cruise the ghet­tos of their local elec­tron­ics stores. Gang­sters in the com­puter lab? That’s absolutely correct.”

(DISEMBODIED LOW VOICE that sighs a lot)

(DROP THE HOT BEAT INTRO)

(RYCE RYDER)
yo every time i try to get some scheme respect
i get knocked on my head with the cy d fect

now imma blaze the com­put­ers you can’t stop me

(MC EVAL)
(yo) i got my homes to get me in up on a hookup
then imma bash you in like my grades up on glookup
i rep­re­sent N-town up on the chilly bay
all my nerds in the house lift your hands and saaaayyyy

(CHORUS over a HIGH DISEMBODIED VOICE)
cuz i’m a schemer, not a squea­mer
imma cash all my stocks and drive a bim­mer
with cash money, ice, rocks and STK
hey mom can i get a ride to compUSA?

(RYCE RYDER)
i code secret mes­sages on the enigma reflec­tor
imma mess you all up with my pocket pro­tec­tor

(MC EVAL)

(CHORUS)
cuz we’re schemers, yall just dream­ers

all yo code got some unbound vari­ables
yall fear us like we’re cod­ing some­thing terrible

(HIGH DISEMBODIED VOICE that sounds female but actu­ally isn’t)
Schemmeerrrr.….

(OUTRO with GENTLE GUITAR, let­ting us know the world is a safer place with SCHEMERS around)
twang twang twang twang…
