I went to GREAT LENGTHS to conceal from shati the fact that she was my assigned Festivids receipient, and if we have in fact reached this day without her guessing that this was made by me then I have achieved a great triumph against terrible odds. (But she probably did guess.)

Also: it turns out vidding to rap is hard? WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT. But made a little bit easier by the number of feelings I have about Yoon Hee and all her weird, weird friends and their refusal to let various kinds of locked doors stand in their way. Expect a longer post coming soon about exactly how much and why I love this show, including a number of images of puppy piles and children fighting with their butts.

In conclusion, the homosexual ... is me. And you. And everyone in this vid. Even the ones who are, technically, straight.

I am extremely grateful to a number of people for letting me yell at them about this, but especially innerbrat and tenillypo for incredibly helpful beta work, and also sotto_voice for being my spy on the inside.

Lyrics:

Bolt cutter, box cutter, brick
Take that shit, take no shit
Bolt cutter, box cutter, brick
Take that shit, shake that shit

I ain’t like yall
I’m into weird shit
I’m in the back getting weird with my weird friends
Hugging a bass line
Hoping you feel this
And these rhymes ain’t tight they are terrorish
And that girl’s not white she’s an anarchist
And we float like kites through your turbulence

Born with our throats slit
Self stitched
Raised to aim
Over it
Soldier with no king
War with the war on me
I am more than this world lets me
Be
So I be like a beast
Let em bleed
Let me see though the fear man
I don’t even live here

Self taught
Wrong
Barrel on no kings y’all come along
We never tryna be the best at some bullshit
Naw let the rest crawl I’ma get out right now

This world’s got a whole lot of locked doors
We decided not to live here anymore
Found a way to trade tragic for savage
We insist on a life less average
This world’s got a whole lot of locked doors
We decided not to live here anymore
Picked though the norm didn’t fit didn’t stick to the script didn’t care
We don’t even live here

We ain’t like them
We into weird shit

Me and my peers disappear when the lights hit
roach wag
Same kinda path
Stash no crap tryna gag in your coach bag
For laughs
Something bout your money
Trust no rich folks empty out the tummy on your math
That’s how I feel about that
Back to that good old fashion class warfare
Aint enough and the cash got the young punks
Stab any rapper and laugh when he piss blood
So human
All flawed
Found my world tryna test those odds
Best flows chose for the wreck not the rep
When the sets done no ones up next
And no ones upset
And no one holds breath anymore right?

Bolt cutter, box cutter, brick

We don’t even live here

Bolt cutter, box cutter, brick
Take that shit, take no shit

I'm in the back, getting weird with my weird friends
I'm in the back, getting weird with my weird friends
I'm in the back
Getting weird

I DID GUESS BUT sotto_voice TOLD YOU MY SUSPICIONS AND YOU COUNTERED THEM!! I mean I did still wonder if this one specifically was you afterward...especially because your other vid had some similar effects and because, I mean, the first year you participated was the first year when an SKKS vid happened at long last...but then I was like, no, this is too good to be someone's third vid. >:(

I should have known it was you JUST BECAUSE THEY FOUGHT WITH THEIR BUTTS.

What a good vid, what good subterfuge. I'm so happy.

I COUNTERED THEM IN FLAILING PANIC FIRST, then Lexie emailed me to be like 'your panic was very convincing, well done' and I was like 'THAT IS BECAUSE IT WAS REAL PANIC.'

The first draft did not have the butt fighting, I am so glad I went back to make sure to add it in. (I am also glad you liked the vid! <3)

[jinian]

Holy shit, that is way cool and unlike every other vid I have ever seen. You rock.

[skygiants]

Hah, that's probably because .... I don't know what I"m doing ...... but thank you very much, I am glad you liked it! :D
