Everybody's Birthday

(album: Art Rap After Party - 2011)

Everybody's rapping, everybody's selling clothes
Everybody's picture-taking, shooting videos
In the city of LA, follow me is what the shirts say
'Cause every day in the city is everybody's birthday
Every day in the city is everybody's birthday
Everybody's rapping, everybody's selling clothes
Everybody's picture-taking, shooting videos
In the city of LA, follow me is what the shirts say
'Cause every day in the city is everybody's birthday

Everybody has their own cupcake and twitter updates
Say I must make every event, but I'm slow on the uptake
And what makes me the target demo for your club date
I'm a nutcase displaying an obvious what-the-fuck face
And what makes a dude promotor, a crew, and a host
[?]
When the music is over there's puke on the sofa
And he's stuck singing a sad ass song, choose the composer
In LA, the label promoter is just a code word for a broke herb
Trying to get the homies [?]
Live music or spoken word, the shadiness is observed
And pre-scale tickets, homie, you must be outcha 'burb, 'cause...

Everybody's rapping, everybody's selling clothes
Everybody's picture-taking, shooting videos
In the city of LA, follow me is what the shirts say
'Cause every day in the city is everybody's birthday
Every day in the city is everybody's birthday
Everybody's rapping, everybody's selling clothes
Everybody's picture-taking, shooting videos
In the city of LA, follow me is what the shirts say
'Cause every day in the city is everybody's birthday

Make a wish birthday boy, don't let the [?]
[?]
A million cats in Los Angeles with dreams as lame as this
There's no communication just people scheming on angles
Everybody's a label intern or movie caterering
But their work resume is featherweight and paper thin
They all breaking in the fame, but they wages stay the same
How you gon' win races, too busy staying in your lane
Play the game with your lame name dropping I won't complain
But in the next rap election, I'm voting for change

Everybody's rapping, everybody's selling clothes
Everybody's picture-taking, shooting videos
In the city of LA, follow me is what the shirts say
'Cause every day in the city is everybody's birthday
Every day in the city is everybody's birthday
Everybody's rapping, everybody's selling clothes
Everybody's picture-taking, shooting videos
In the city of LA, follow me is what the shirts say
'Cause every day in the city is everybody's birthday
