about
This was gonna go onto the Party in the Clouds album, too, but I decided to hold off. A few of us were talking about a second song, but only I had was able to get one made, and even then, I BARELY got it finished in time. No biggie. I LOVE my instrumental for this one, but a few people didn't like the slower feel. Meh, h8rs gonna h8. I might be in love with Massive, btw. Seriously worth it if you make ANY sort of electronic music, especially if you are relative new to the scene. Anyway, guys, enjoy!
HUGE props and thanks to Jackle App and Mic the Microphone for creating this sweet track. Hella respect, guys.
You say I'm a hack; A one trick pony
No acts to follow
All the talent that I've gained is not mine
It's all borrowed
Because I'm
I'm just a phony when I step on the stage
It's like a dark age; a crossfade
And I hear ya'll scream at me in rage
Oh look at this ya'll. Some half wit tryin' to step up his game
Tryin' to pull himself up and rise above to greater acclaim
But fuck this fame shit. I'm doin' this for no one but me
I'm like a Rarity; A diamond in coal. I'm gonna make you see
[CHORUS]
One trick pony's only got one song
One trick pony plays it all night long
One trick pony's never tries nothin' new
One trick pony could be me could be you
One trick pony's only got one song
One trick pony plays it all night long
One trick pony's never tries nothin' new
One trick pony could be me could be you
You want this bar raised? I'll show you all the meaning of ferocity
When I step on the stage. There's no copyin' me. No stoppin' me.
A one trick pony? At least I know just what I'm good at
While you're flailing on the ground just like a blank flank
Just stop that
Just get back. There's more to us than meets the fuckin' eye
We're not some rag tag duo to dissapoint. We will surprise
Everyone who tries to front and come at us . We've 'bout had it
Time to make the crowd go wild with this track: That's just our fucking talent.
[CHORUS]
We know our place. A talent made ours; There's no disgrace
In sticking to our guns. We're good at it. Puttin' smiles across the faces
Of our fans and friends and family with our songs and our rhymes
So sublime. So just stop treatin' it as if it's a crime
Cause in the long haul it's not about rising up to the fame
It's the journey and tale; Remember from where you came
And when you look back, you'll open your eyes and finally know me
Cause it doesn't matter no more. We're all just one-trick ponies.
[CHORUS] x2
