[Fun] The Douglass Gardens Sessions

[Black Aeronaut]

I just had one of my batshit-crazy ideas.

Life at Douglas Gardens sounds pretty tame.  Mayhaps they could do with a bit of good-natured mayhem? 





The nice part is that they're fictional characters, complete with fictional stories behind the music.

Just a little something to consider.  If you do pull them in, though, we could have it that they're somehow summoned when, during the St. Valentine's Eve Massacre, Benjamin starts rapping their song, Clint Eastwood...

And really, it would fit pretty well, given that situation.  I mean, look at these lyrics and tell me that ain't Ben to a 'T' at that moment...

I ain't happy
I'm feelin' glad
I got sunshine
In a bag
I'm useless
But not for long
My future
Is coming on...

Verse 1
Finally someone let me out of my cage
Now, time for me is nothing cause I'm counting no age
No, I couldn't be there
Now you shouldn't be scared
I'm good at repairs
And I'm under each snare
Intangible
Bet you didn't think so I command you to
Panoramic view, look, I'll make it all manageable
Pick and choose, sit and lose, all you different crews
Chicks and dudes, who you think is really kickin' tunes?
Picture you gettin' down in a picture tube
Like you lit the fuse
You think it's fictional? Mystical? Maybe
Spiritual. Hero who appears in you to clear your view when you're too crazy
Lifeless, to know the definition for what life is
Priceless to you because I put you on the hype shit
You like it?
Gun smokin', righteous with one toke
Psychic among those
Possess you with one go

Verse 2
The essence, the basics
Without it, you make it
Allow me to make this child-like in nature
Rhythm, you have it or you don't, that's a fallacy
I'm in them
Every sprouting tree, every child a piece
Every cloud and sea
You see with your eyes
I see destruction and demise, corruption in disguise
From this fuckin' enterprise
Now I'm sucked into your lies
Through Russel, not his muscles but percussion he provides
With me as a guide
Y'all can see me now 'cause you don't see with your eye
You perceive with your mind
That's the inner
So I'm gonna stick around with Russ and be a mentor
Bust a few rhymes so motherfuckers remember where the thought is
I brought all this so you can survive when law is lawless
Feelings, sensations that you thought was dead
No squealing, remember that it's all in your head


Whatcha think?
