about

This jam and the rest of this mixtape is going out to my little brothers Caleb and Curly. For several years, this was an accurate description of our lives together: making the best of childhood.

lyrics

we get home from school, turn on the television,
my little brothers caleb and curly can tell i'm bored,
it must be wintertime, or we would be outside,
we all wish we had the power to up and teleport,
the commercials are boring, even maury is boring,
i start to sort of nudge my brother curly with my toe,
he's all like stop it joe, and i just ignore him,
the spark ignites in all our eyes and we're ready to go,
we all rush up the stairs, let's get ready to rumble,
i'm the oldest and biggest so it's them verse me,
i throw them on the bed, i throw them off the bed,
they hate how strong i am, but they've got the energy,
they need to team up, once they team up,
i'm in trouble, Caleb's coming off the turn buckle
clothes line, curly's ducked behind, that's a mean cut,
THEY GOT ME BY THE LEGS AND NECK, SCREAMING WHO'S YR UNCLE?


CALEB, CURLY, LET'S HAVE A PLAYFIGHT, BABY,
PLAYFIGHT WITH ME


BUT I get curly in a headlock, his face is turning red hot,
caleb comes from the back with a plastic goal post, head shot,
curly bites my leg, i jump up and gag, there's just a bit of blood
caleb swings from the top bunk, cheap shot, both feet plow into my gut,
oh, now i'm winded but i jump up in rage and I'm chasing them,
both of them thundering down the stairs into the open den. Caleb's climbed
the couch, he's poised to jump curly's diggin in the drawers,
he pulls a knife, i'm like what's that for, he says i'm gonna open up.
yeah i'm gonna open up, a can of whoop ass,
i run to the garage and grab a chain and a torque wrench,
i return to find a haze of smoke and a metalic stench,
i creep into the bathroom, lock the door, begin to plan my defense,
i lift the toilet tank but hey, where's my weapon?
dang it curly, i knew you'd steal my smif and wesson,
open up the cupboard, unscrew the plumbing pipes,
i learned how to build a gun before i learned to ride a bike.
caleb knocks slowly, i'm all like back up,
where is curly? caleb says look in the bath tub
i say OH NO YOU DIDN'T
he says OH YES I DID.
I SLIDE AWAY THE SHOWER CURTAIN, CURLY'S DEAD!
i take him in my arms, i'm weeping over him,
i sweep the bloodied hair out of his lifeless eyes,
in the distance i can hear the sirens closing in,
caleb pleads, help me joe, he stabbed me in the thigh,
I unlock the door, he looks woozy, he begins to cry,
he faints into my arms and i'm just glad that he's alive.
the paramedics storm inside, broken glass is crunching,
i slip the medic fifty bucks, tell our mother nothing.

The beat is by some guy on youtube I guess. Mitchmatic recorded this! And mixed this! And mastered this!? And yo mama made me breakfast while I wrote it. OLD UGLY dummy.
