[FRESH] DON KING by Cal Scruby

Rock in my pocket like Gibraltar,
Chop it up, 
Lookin’ like Siesta Key. 
White like it show up at the altar,
Don’t be gettin’ messy with the recipe. 
Is it Fini in the bag, is it Kanye? 
Shit can turn a long night into a long day. 
Pressin’ on the gas ‘til the car shake,
120 on the dash, went the wrong way. 
Time is a flat circle,
I’m doin’ donuts. 
I was 13 & I blinked, now I’m grown up. 
Never asked me what I think,
I don’t know enough. 
I say if we link,
Then we link,
You ain’t showin’ up. 
What you runnin’ from?
I be in a rented 911 on the 101,
780 credit,
I could get it if I wanted one. 
I would rather bet it on my head,
& watch it double up,
Bitch you a runner up. 

Heavy is the weight on my chest,
I can bench it. 
Heavy is the weight of the world, 
I could squat that. 
Heavy is the weight of the crown, 
The attention,
Hear you talkin’ like a heavyweight, 
But you not that. 
(Don King couldn’t even make a dollar off you)
(Heard you talkin’ like a heavyweight but you not that)

Set and I’m ready from the rip,
Yeah I’m starter status. 
Prezi on my wrist,
No that’s not a patek. 
She gon’ let me hit,
Yeah that’s automatic. 
Solid 7 on my hip and she not dramatic,
The 9 and 10’s they get problematic.
She take the key and wreck the Benz,
Always causin’ havoc,
Yeah,
I try to tell them this is not a habit,
I tell my therapist I’m not an addict.
This shit ain’t easy as it look,
You can’t read me like a book. 
You can’t treat me like a rook,
Man they wash, yeah they washed up. 
Season with the cook,
They don’t see what all it took,
Only thing I still regret,
I should’ve got Breezy on that hook. 
(Aw yeah)
Big mistakes,
Yeah I made ‘em in abundance,
Bad breaks by the case, by the hundreds. 
Say that as I’m breaking down the blow,
Like it’s fun dip. 
All that rocky fuckin’ up my nose,
Like I’m Lundgren. 

Heavy is the weight on my chest,
I can bench it. 
Heavy is the weight of the world, 
I could squat that. 
Heavy is the weight of the crown, 
The attention,
Hear you talkin’ like a heavyweight, 
But you not that. 
(Don King couldn’t even make a dollar off you)
(Heard you talkin’ like a heavyweight but you not that)

Murder Was the Case is a 1994 short film and soundtrack album starring Snoop Doggy Dogg. The 18 minute film was directed by Dr. Dre and Fab Five Freddy and chronicles the fictional death of Snoop Dogg and his resurrection after making a deal with the Devil. The song itself tells roughly the same story as the movie, with Snoop making a deal with the devil so that he can see his sweetheart have his baby.^[[1] https://genius.com/Snoop-dogg-murder-was-the-case-deathaftervisualizingeternity-lyrics]

Don McLean released this groundbreaking song on the album American Pie in 1971. It is full of pop-culture references. An entire website has been created by Jim Fann to explore the song— Understanding American Pie.^[[1] https://genius.com/Don-mclean-american-pie-lyrics]

This song tackles the evolution of rock & roll through the 60s, following the 1959 plane crash that led to the death of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper. McLean explores many of the major events of the 60s, including the moon landings, Dylan’s rise and crash, the dominance of The Beatles, and the death of Janis Joplin.

While his magnum opus is known for its deep, almost cryptic lyrics, for many years McLean left its meaning up to the speculation of others, feeling no need to explain things himself. Asked by one interviewer what the song meant, McLean said, “It means I never have to work again.”

McLean first revealed intended meaning of his lyrics in 2015, when the original manuscript and notes were sold at auction for a fee to the tune of $1.2 million.

Although the lyrics might no longer be enigmatic, McLean’s track will forever be regarded as a poetic look into the past of rock & roll.

For a quick summary of what the song means, check out this video:

  • This is a revision to previously posted videos. I was fortunate enough to go to the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake IA and speak firsthand with many who were there including Tommy Allsup who flipped the coin with Ritchie Valens. This version corrects some factual errors and includes new footage from the SURF

It is based on a drunken night out experienced by lead singer Matthew Murphy at Le Bateau, a nightclub in the band's home city of Liverpool, during which he and his then-girlfriend danced on a table to "Love Will Tear Us Apart" by Joy Division. The lyrics examine the irony of dancing happily to a famously sad song.

I been on the edge I said
I hope you pray
Mama take the blade from me
Cuz I can’t play
I been standing 10 toes looking at the grave
Voices in my head they said its way too late
Too debate

What did you grow up to up be
What did you throw to the culprit who hoping to leave
What did the blow to your nose decompose
In your soul what you opened inside of your greed
What do you want to believe
What did you do when she told you that you were a fiend
Did you believe all the scream in your head
When she said she would wait for you said

Don’t
Wait for me
Pray for me
I got demons in my head I been begging don’t
Hate for me
Pray for me
I been screaming bloody red
Can’t forget the
Demons in my head they tell me I’m better off dead so please don’t
Wait for me
Pray for me
Begging God could you save
Would you save me

Tell you that I’m better cuz you’re scared just to look
My diary admittedly been cooking the books
I’m lying to myself you wonder why the kid took
The name l-i-o-n cuz its phonetically crooked

Don’t tell me that you love it when you’re standing on the edge
Don’t take a look I hide the mess you made inside my head
Do all you believe that life is destined for the best
Cuz I been praying everyday but I feel that Gods upset

I been on the edge I said
I hope you pray
Mama take the blade from me
Cuz I can’t play
I been standing 10 toes looking at the grave
Voices in my head they said its way too late
Too debate

What did you grow up to up be
What did you throw to the culprit who hoping to leave
What did the blow to your nose decompose
In your soul what you opened inside of your greed
What do you want to believe
What did you do when she told you that you were a fiend
Did you believe all the scream in your head
When she said she would wait for you said

Don’t
Wait for me
Pray for me
I got demons in my head I been begging don’t
Hate for me
Pray for me
I been screaming bloody red
Can’t forget the
Demons in my head they tell me I’m better off dead so please don’t
Wait for me
Pray for me
Begging God could you save
Would you save me

Please don't
Leave me with the dope
The rope around my throat
But mama ima never choke
Gold rose
From the garden grows
But I been dreaming for the meaning since a little bro

Would
Everything just make sense for a second
Cuz for the record I confess I’m second
Inside my head the other guy
Controls my spine repeats I’m fine
And you all wondered has he gone heath ledger?

I been on the edge I said
I hope you pray
Mama take the blade from me
Cuz I can’t play
I been standing 10 toes looking at the grave
Voices in my head they said its way too late
Too debate

What did you grow up to up be

When she said she would wait for you said

Don’t

Would you save me
