This is downloadable so maybe someone out there makes a remix and earns me a bunch of money turning this into a hit record.
SOMMINs GOTTA GIVE (J. Olav van der Spree)
I jump in, out
Left n right
From da crack o dawn
To da dead o night
I pity the fool
That ignores the punk
I pity the fool
That fakes the funk
I feel for the beggar's got holes in his shoes
I pity the rich man that don't know the blues
I like my cars and my rocknroll
Fast and loud and four on the floor
If I say sommin you don't like
Hey, I get it
But I don't like reggae
And I don't like cricket
I don't like Mondays
And I don't like jazz
And I won't shut up
So if you wanna throw hands
(Right here baby
Ain't going nowhere
Just feeling the beat
No kick no snare)
Something's gotta give - YEAH Something's gotta give - YEAH
Someone gotta die
For someone else to live - YEAH (2X)
People have a way of turning round on you
When there's money involved or pain
They'll pretend to be shy
Can't think up an excuse
But you know that shy they ain't
I wonder what they think I get out of this
And why they'd even matter to me
No paddle no canoe, neck deep in the creek
And headed straight for the sea
Something's gotta give - YEAH Something's gotta give - YEAH
Someone gotta die
For someone else to live - YEAH (2X)
And if yr momma tells you
I'm a little too fast
Then yr momma is probably right
Coz I drive with the windows rolled down
The radio blasting
And I'm high as a kite
Just take a look at my ride
And you know I'm trouble
No spare in the trunk
Just a rope and a shovel
Though the paint is scratched
And the seats don't match
It's a pitbull without a muzzle
It does a gallon a mile
And a mile a second
My will in the glove box
In case I wreck it
Don't care bout the price of gas
I know my way won't last
But I'll be damned
If I'll ever slow down

I like a bit of old-skool rap and I am impressed with how well the sparse instrumentation works with it. It flows really well and I thoroughly enjoyed it, even though I - personally - do like cricket ;-)

Great comedy lyrics! I love me some old skool hip hop so was sucked in from the first few bars. Love the stripped back sound. Really enjoyed the listen!
