    i'm collecting the songs i release every month into a bimonthly lathe-cut 7" single. It's mainly intended as a reward for $15/mo Patreon supporters, but not everybody wants to subscribe to get a record every two months, so you can also pre-order a copy here to be added to my production & mailout!

    This is the first volume, collecting "Count to Rap Hundred" and "Pumpkin Eater."

    The second volume will be "Majokko Brovaz" featuring Eddie Quotez, and "Pro-War Bumper Sticker" produced by Recordface. Look for it in May 2018!

    Hit up patreon.com/rljd if you'd like to subscribe to automatically receive these singles every two months.

    Includes unlimited streaming of The Rap Hundreds, season 1 via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about

I'm releasing a song for free every month, and you can help me continue to do that if you visit patreon.com/rljd - pledge as little as $1 a month to keep these songs coming, and help me make my other albums, and also maybe get some nice stuff for yourself? Check it out!

I wrote this song in probably 2007, trying to get inside the head of the person a friend of mine was trying to divorce. I was trying to imagine his logic, how he thought forbidding someone to leave him and trapping them with guilt and threats could lead to reconciliation.

He was just really hurt, I guess. But also really entitled, and petty. Oh… i just realized literally this second it was also a way for me to create artificial distance to write about the almost identical situation I was trying to leave at the same time. Testing the waters before I could write more frankly about my trauma in “Hot Property” in 2008, or “Synecdoche, Nova Scotia” in 2012.

OK cool over a decade later and I figure out what my own song is really about WHILE writing a promo blurb. Nice.

This was going to be part of Ipso Facto, the third EP in the series that began with Inter Alia and abruptly ended with Verba Volant. The producers involved were Cal and ChanHays (then known as Teazie Hayes). Four or five other songs from those sessions will surface as future Rap Hundreds!

lyrics

Please, I'm begging you.
I'm begging you, please.
I'm begging you.
Please, baby, please, baby
Baby, baby, please

Please stop telling me the boy's like a
Freezepop, ultra fresh when like
He's not. It's giving me a headache and my
Knees knock, knowing that the shelves are getting
Restocked - he's a mockery
I'm bleeding awfully and he's feeding off of me
Like a mosquito, diseased and indecent
I bought the monopoly, he's leasing the property
Probably scoffing, it's not really awesome
I thought we were dogs and it's causing me problems
Costing me lots of losses, god stop it
Hope is sweet but it fucks me up like
Non-Prophets, got it? It's not about the optics
End of the story like knock 'em out the box Rick
This ain't funny so don't you dare laugh
I care so much you're supposed to care back

Baby
Tell me what you want and I'll change
Your mind, I need you to haunt my old age
You're mine! Let none rend asunder my claims
Let no man come within a hundred-mile range
Under my thumb, you never heard Mick sing it?
Hello? I'm speaking in perfect English!
You don't like that one? How about the Beatles?
Run For Your Life, little girl, how did we go
So wrong? You're like "so long!" I wanna hold on
You're giving me the finger with the one I put the gold on
No long kiss goodbye, just a guy
Waiting outside to twist the knife
Is this the life you promised to share with me?
Honestly? Didn't you want to be there with me?
God, you embarrassed me, swearing so carelessly.
Why in the fucking world did you marry me?

Only one person can stop this thing.
One selfish person who's not list'ning
One that I purchased when I bought this ring
Worthless the instant it blessed crossed fingers
. Let's not linger, it's late
Love is a flame and its cinder is hate
It's in her to make my heart splinter and break
And I'll die if she makes this one single mistake
For real.
