A collab with my nephew michael, aged 9, who has started churning out orignal lyrics recently. He likes Eminem and similar rap type guys, which is not my thing at all but I was impressed with the quality of his lyrics and the way they just fall out of him so i have attempted to set them to music.
I'll be sitting proud
On the ground
With a pound
Making that money is hard
But I'm here now
In my lounge
Getting lazy
Today is my thing now
(YEA) (YEA) (YEA)
(LET THE VOICES TAKE OVER)
I'll be sitting down at work
Like a man making plans
I own all these lands

I love how you weren't into the style, but just went for it for the sake of your nephew! Isn't that just the way that it all started....Someone has some cool words, figures out a beat and some other sounds and there it goes! Very nicely done and also sounds retro in a good way--like many others of yours. Nicely done!

Cool thing Uncle Rob! Lyrics feel like Michael might have been influenced by Billy the Quid!

Well I bet he thinks his uncle is really cool after this. I was really surprised to read you were going to do a rap song, but even more surprised when it sounded really good. Mission accomplished.

Hello. This is Mr. McGaughey with Mrs. L's Grade 2/3 class. Please say Hi to Michael. All the kids in the class are 7 or 8. Here are their comments.
H: I liked the Yeah Yeas in the background.
A: I like the song because of the rhythm and the beats.
A: I like the deep voice.
J: I liked the beats.
N: I also like the beats a lot.

Fun collab, and wonderful that you can encourage your nephew so.

Today is my thing now over and over eternal recurrence I love that. Get strong Parquet Courts/GBV vibes and the lyrics are H.A.R.D

1. I love that you collabed with your nephew. 2. These are great lyrics - so please tell him that! 3. The flow was cool and this was an awesome little song! Yea!

My kids instinctively started spinning around on the floor. They are 5 & 8, so not aware of the whole break dance craze. They definitely got the moves. Anyway, there is nothing I don’t like about this. It remained me of good hip hop beats.
