about

A song by James And The Solo Projects written for hip-hop group Great Lakes Feather Company's sophomore album Pluto.

lyrics

Been working for years at the laundromat
Down town east side is where it’s at
Got a keychain with some keys
And your memories now freeze
You come in shouting orders like some hot head
Your mop head flushing up not shutting up
Fast enough or lighten up
Guess you wanna tighten up
Security not the muscle or might but the
Job security you’ll never find
At the minimum wage tier it pretty scary here
Business slowing down will it stay open next year?
Approach me with the look and request
And the special very special kind of quarter filled sack
You’ll be my next client of my very own
Graphic design business I run out of the back

Touch-ups to your wedding pictures?
Pay me nothing but dough or doughnuts
But long-johns are superior
The flavor inside differs from the exterior
Need some html?
I’ll do that while fixing your red-eye
Find me working late for you
Not cause I need it I got nothing to do
At the club is where it’s at
And by “it” I mean anything but me and my Prozac
Twitter is a tragedy
It tells me about my #needs
Living life like a gangster pig
With a zip up hoodie five sizes too big
Zip it up zip it down
There’s room for two in this lonesome clown

Got a chick in the laundromat backroom
Probably thought it broken for a bathroom
Sending me a pic
The resolution so small it microscopic
I open that J-PEG she snapped from her phone
Highly compressed and atrocious
I say GUURRRLLLL this is really bad
We gotta have a lesson on lossy file formats
Portable (Portable) Networks (Networks) Graphics
Is the format that’s best take it from me
And my consciousness .PNG’s are in what we invest

Well it’s been a great big use of my time
Unfortunately for you I’m not in my prime
Don’t show the hate don’t contemplate me
Dropping rhymes faster than the songs bitrate
I think by now you’ve had enough
Like a flashdrive I’m always plugging my stuff
Streaming data through a USB 2.0
Mad language skills much like C-3PO
