Following Childish Gambino's hit laceration of American history and culture, let's move into loopier acerbic perspective with the comedian, rapper and singer from his 2010 album Why Shit So Crazy? Watts is clearly in love with language. He disorientates and amuses audiences by messing around with loops, and his live shows are always full of playful experimentation, silly noises, strange words and self-harmonising soul singing of infinite jest. In this song he lampoons some of the culture of hip-hop, but at the same time is clearly a fan of the genre. The German-American often talks in an English accent, but in this song deconstructs basic American hip hop and some of its less attractive value systems with a few essential swear words, turning them inside out and rebuilding them like Lego bricks.
He has recently released a looped-based Chicago house album, Casual High Technology, under the name Wajatta, with producer and DJ John Tajeda.
Yo, Uh. Word. Adjective. Pronoun. Adverb.
Run on and on and on
Where my gerunds at?
Parenthetical, uh.
[Opening x2]
Shit motherfucker ass tits cunt cock motherfucker shit ass tits motherfucker shit
Come on
Fickity-fuck fickity-fuck fickity-fuck fickity-fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
You take some shit, put it up on the wall, check it out for a while
You take that shit up off of the wall, put it down on the floor in a glass bowl
You take some fuck, put it up on the wall where the shit used to be
You take that fuck up off of the wall, put it down on the floor
With the shit in a glass bowl
What? Yo, here's another little piece of advice-vice
[Hook x2]
You take some fuck then some shit
Then some fuck then some shit
You've got a fuck-shit stack
A fuck-shit stack
It's a stack of fuck-shit on top of itself, nigga
I make references to weaponry
Ancient or new
I wear bullet-proof vests for no apparent reason
Other than to create a false sense of importance
Of which I could never retain on my own
I like to create a buffer memory of incredulity
So y'all motherfuckers could never get near to me
I'm a cartoon character
You'll never be able to be like me! (me me)
I like women
I like women
I like the concept of a woman
I like to take that concept and reduce it to an object
I like to take those objects and put 'em in my videos
Have them shake they jiggly bits so they looks like hoes
I like to take some car polish, smear it all over they asses
And buff that shit out so it looks like fresh peaches and shit
I like to take some more of that car polish and smear it all over they tits
And buff that shit out so it looks all sparkly, like diamond necklaces and shit
Why?
Cuz I'm a lady's man
A lady's man
A la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lady's man
I'm a materialist
I'm a materialist
I'll take a piece-of-shit car and I'll lower the motherfuckah;
Put some 18-inch rims on the motherfuckah;
Take some neon, put it underneath the motherfuckah
So when I roll around this town it looks like I hover (hover hover)
I like to take a flat-panel display monitor
Put one on the steering column
One inside of the glovebox
One on top of the dashboard
Two in back of the headrests
One mounted in the ceiling
Two still in the motherfucking packaging on the back seat
So when my motherfucking friends go and sit on the shit and break it (word?)
I can honestly say:
I. Just. Don't. Give. A. Fuck
[Hook x4]
It's a stack of fuck-shit on top of itself, nigga
Yo, where my girls at?
Where my girls at?
Where my grills at?
Where my grills at?
Where my girls at?
Where my girls at?
Where my grills at?
Where my grills at?
(Where is they?)
Fuck shit, fuck shit
Fuck shit, fuck shit
Fuck shit, fuck shit
Fuck shit, fuck shit.
