Freak Power! [beat & scratch by blindskywatcher] by Trial of the Golden Witch published on 2017-04-14T10:26:19Z Whoa, this is actually like a real song! Blindskywatcher posted this beat https://soundcloud.com/blindskywatcher/fear-of-god a little while back and I got this really Ghostface Killah vibe from it, so I tried for something like that, while also taking inspiration from the Freak Power political movement that Hunter S. Thompson led in his hometown in the early 70s. Once I had the concept locked down, I knew I wanted the chorus to be record scratch-based, and thankfully sky was able to deliver on those! Lyrics: (There'll be thieves and autorecs(?) in Aspen no matter who gets elected--but Hunter represents something wholly alien to the other candidates for sheriff: ideas; and a sympathy towards the young, generous, grass-oriented society which is making the only serious effort to face the technological nightmare we have created. The only thing against him is he's a visionary--he wants too pure a world.) What ya'll mothafuckas don't recognize is that I am terrified marginalized, 'til right on the line and just waiting to get pushed So I can push back Harder than ya'll ever thought to attack I'm ruthless, with no tact Just a wild cat With enough fat For the blowback So know that When you come at Me I'm on edge With a honed edge That is bone dense And I'm no friend To a punk-ass with nothin' but sass Who scoffs at the crass Some upper-class wannabes, Haughty bigots with no zazz I'm classically trained in fuckin' ya brains A lord of the strange, deranged, and the fuckin' insane I'm changin' the game, so put some damn respek on my name Or get flamed when I'm fed up with the train of cliches Condescened to me if you would like to swallow your teeth I'll keep this brief: go fuck yourself -let it breathe- Try to big league me, and I'll go straight to the big league By which I mean a baseball bat to each of your knees That's how it goes when the freaks get mean Drop the pig's blood, and it's death by CDs You're a disease--and I got the antidote It's a goat-headed man with a knife at your throat That's freak power --- Every single person who has told you that you couldn't Lives in fear that you'll achieve the things in life they think you shouldn't Hearing that was like a bullet to the temporal lobe Tellin' me I'm not alone, speedin' down that lonely road Out to where I thought I belonged Now I proved that I did And I'm shittin' on the people that I knew as a kid Anyone who said I couldn't, bitch I already did And I'll do it all again just so I can rub it in Your narrow scope on reality gettin' spread so thin The banality of your frivality been sinkin in Where I been? Oh just over here, countin' my tens Watching you over there wonderin' where the time went I bided mine till I blew up The only way you screwed up, was tryin' not to screw up I took the risk and knew what Would come if I stayed true ta Myself and what I wanted The life I held so vaunted It's healthy to be haunted (Obviously one of the things that I have to think... I have to appreciate about America--that if I couldn't I'd be stupid or insane, is that uh... for good or ill... I can function here. And, uh... I don't think there are many societies or social, political systems, where I could function the way I am now. And perhaps a lotta people would think that's much better; that's the best argument for destroying the system--it gets rid of people like me.)
