Public Access TV Star (a Rap)
by Jon Ray on October 27, 2009
I'm laying down some sick beats in the studio, now, but wanted to give you a sneak preview of a rap video I plan to shoot at some point in the future.
This phat rhyme written by Jon Ray and Dustin Doering.
I'm a public access TV star!
I ride my bike to work,
'cause I don't need no car!
When my crew goes out,
people know who we are (sometimes)
My fans listen close,
'cause I say what I like.
And we don't use a boom,
we got that in-camera mic! (It's a rental)
Film a show today
And one tomorrow.
If we can't afford equipment,
we steal and/or borrow (Gorilla Style)
Interview local celebs,
like the weatherman.
And read fan mail
from our one true fan! (It's a dude)
Strollin' through the mall,
this guy says, "I know you!"
From my TV show?
"Nah, fool, you work at the drive-through." (Late night menu)
Public Access Star!
Yeah, I'm feelin' the fame.
Public Access Star!
I'm at the top of my game.
Public Access Star!
No syndication.
Whenever I like,
I go on vacation!
Dakota,
the northern one.
Big-ups to Fargo,
that's where my moms be from!
Two in the morn, that's when I appear.
Spittin' the local skinny, you all wanna hear
Government listings. Snow days, too.
City Council Meetings,
man, I thought ya knew! (Public Forum)
So, you got a band
And don't got no label?
Bring it to me and I'll get it on cable (You's a rockstar, now)
Not into metal? Don't like my flow?
Then tune in on Sundays,
that's the acoustic show! (singer/songwriter)
Had to work late
and missed your son's play?
Now he's tryin' on dresses
and you think he's gay?
Well, you're right, pops,
he's a big queer freak
And we play him on the channel
every day of the week.
T's Elementary production of Rent!
He played Roger,
that might be a hint.
Five-hundred, twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes.
How do you measure, a year in the life?
Public Access! (Bitches)
