I wanted to write a good "old fashioned" cowboy rap song-commemorating Skip Donahue-and his progression as a "mechanical bull"rider. I was gonna keep it simple, and straight to the point. One night while I was laying in bed, i received a "telepathic-type"message from the Zeta Reticuli constellation. It was Little Ray. He urged me not to complete this particular song without his involvement in it. He criticized my lack of knowledge of "rodeo/horse" terms, and that he was an expert in these areas. He also stated that he," knows best", because he's from Bryan,Texas. While reviewing the "mix" in the recording studio, Raymond described my verse as,"a piece of cow manure."
lyrics
oh rodeo man(lyrics)
Oh rodeo man-In the west you can. Your the best on the land-to bless the sand.Steer the bull with your hand-Oh Skip you can. Get that "bucking bull",and pull on that rope. Jolted in the air-the landscape will slope. With your hope in the heavens, other cowboys mope. Might as well call you "dead bolt" you won't budge. The wardens in the prisons-they are the judge. Crush that "Rosin Rock", and put it in your glove. Lane Frost looks upon you from the clouds above. With a grin on his face- spitting' Grizzly Chew. Sampson he picked you-lamping on his desk. Oh rodeo man-Skip your the best. The suns on your horizon no need to stress. Before you hop into it make sure you stretch. This moment will go by, it will be hard to catch. Before you light that fire-life is like that match. Oh rodeo man-Skipper-he's dispatched...
Little Ray's verse(lyrics)
Oh rodeo man can you withstand-being better than a "Barrelman." I've seen that bull lowering it's head. Kicking out back-trying to make you dead. Saw Skipper nodding, waiting for that gate. To open up entering a world of hate. My name is Little Ray-bout to catch wreck. I'm stuck inside a planet just to be a speck of: dust, when i bust, it's a must that i spit. Sick of hearing kids using that word "lit". I'm stuck in purgatory with my bot-Beep. Seen the double-kicker leap, talk is cheap. I've also known a "scooter" on the front feet. Pivoting and Wiggling for a back sweep. Forget a meet and greet, i seek to be "freight trained." Cause i don't want to live on this Astral Plane. Your a lame-if you think the pain-don't build you.Your a "rag doll dragging"-looking like your through. A tippy toe bull, is like a tricky foe-who? Can enter this arena when your ego is bruised. I'm a bull fighting rider, make you feel my view. Signing off is Little Ray with the"ill bull blues."
