about

Mostly Harmless - Me and Ham-STAR being smart with our words! This one took a LONG TIME to write because of all the humor and intelligence I had to squeeze in there. This has samples from me playing with a Sequential Circuits Prophet-5 in 1997/1998ish. I'm very proud of this song. RIP to Douglas Adams.

lyrics

[funky49]
see a "take a penny leave a penny"?
I take all the pennies not leavin' you any
Monopoly money, I counterfeit
Maslow's Pyramid, I'm on the tip
the face of a clock, I spit
tore its hands off, then I split
yeah, I know I'm cool
every summertime I pee in the pool
your mother tongue I butcher
leave ya Punk'd like A. Kutcher
dangerous on the rhyme I wrote
cut the heart out of an artichoke
slice your throat with Occam's razor
blast your eyes with a class 1 laser
bruisin' fruit, that's the truth
after that, I ate a Baby - Ruth

[Ham-STAR]
Yeah, I'm Mostly Harmless, but I'm looking to kill time
I've got the silver bullet for boredom: Ill rhymes.
I sit around and shoot the breeze, shoot the shit,
Because I'm a punslinger every joke I make is a hit,
Hit me up for another couple punchlines,
I'll take a stab at it while I'm cutting the lunchline.
Slap down a few bucks, knock back my drink,
Can you handle a good-natured jab, do you think?
My lyrics have edge, they dart through the air,
I may even affix you with daggers in my stare.
My wit is sharp, words may jump the shark,
But you won't be injured by my cutting remark.
Hark! Bring the beats, hi hat hits, and kicks,
Have you bustin' up until you're shittin' bricks,
Get your fix of mind-blowing hip-hop,
'Cause talking smack is how you earn your chops.

Youtube Myspace I'll Google your Yahoo

[funky49]
Youtube Myspace I'll Google your Yahoo
Mostly Harmless, that's how we do
ATMs, I go through withdraw
Every state fair I fight a bear claw
my girl did a Mobius Strip I liked alot
then we got into a Gordian Knot
ate pie charts, shot emails
trains of thought I derail
got in an airplane and I got high, cute-
girl caught my eye, I got shy
eatin' placebos by the handful
pissed off a bull that's mechanical, said
boo to a bee, hi to my knee
Play-doh, it's in my belly
I'd cut you, if you were standing in a line
Mostly Harmless - What I call these rhymes

outro:
yo... I'll shoot you... when I fire my Canon... Powershot SD800...
and cut your head off in the picture..

hey, I told Jeff Foxworthy...
he might be a redneck
Earth is... Mostly Harmless
Ham-Star is... Mostly Harmless
funky49 is.... Mostly Harmless
