My records on record, are a record of love career made of, hits and misses, x’s and o’s, and hugs and kisses, I make music to make you dance. Masturbate like cheap romance.

I dig, deep, down, in the crates, for 7, 10, and 12 inch breaks. Dirty, stinking dust you name it, there ain’t no rules making beats in the basement Bass, kick, high, snare, chef is the kitchen and he’s cooking with care. Choppedy chop, needle full of dirt. Mixing, matching, and making it work. b- boy, the real McCoy, sleeping at the studio, with my new toys. Vintage, vinyl, criminal, minded. Sample my sample, cause you’re never going to find it. Get your hands of my records. Sucker, your pissing me off. If I was in your shoes, buying re issues, the drums wouldn’t be so soft Get your hands off my records. They belong to my dad and mom all you making is original beats, when you going to make an original song? Huh? I’m on the newness, you knew this all along, your whole style is mathematically wrong. Nice loop their el producto, you got a turtle poking out the back of your butt so I think it’s time that you kids learn to behave, jay dee’s rolling over in his grave Better play another game of Nintendo, and throw your m - p - c out the window. You couldn’t cut up a piece of cake. Googling the internet for hip hop breaks. There’s nothing musical about your music. You’re never going to make it, don’t be stupid. Get your hands off my wax. You hacks,…and freaks and fashionable geeks Is there a button on your new computer, you can press to make dope beats? Get your hands off my records, they don’t belong to you. If I could call James brown right now, that’s exactly what he’d tell you to do. true Listen up, I’ll save you some tears, the truth is going to hurt a lot more in a couple years. I know you’re young, and still paying dues, and you’re brand new sounds already re - used One time for your mind I guess. Do yourself a favour cause your flavor is tone deaf. It’s never too late, to throw in the towel. Stop making those wack beats right now You’re so foul, nobody cares, production of order, it needs some repairs. It takes talent, and I quote, some people have it, some people don’t. Get your hands of my records. Loser. You never going to win. Spend your money in the soul section, in - stead of mining diamonds in the dollar bin. Get your hands off my records. Sucker, don’t know how to act. 1995 is on the phone, and he says he wants his style back. Sucker.

If I didn’t drink, I would have died at twenty. I got the stink of Paris, rotting through my bones, If I didn’t drink, I would have died at twenty. I got the rats in Paris, I’m never lonely their Going back to Paris, with a gun in my hand, and I’m going to stand where we met, with a wet cigarette, and tap dance a little hole into the ground Going back to Paris, with a gun in my hand, and a bottle full of whisky, for the gypsy downtown Who killed Charlie Brown. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, / nah, nah, nah, nah / Who killed Charlie Brown? Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, / nah, nah, nah, nah / Who killed Charlie Brown? Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, / nah, nah, nah, nah / Who killed Charlie Brown? Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, / nah, nah, nah, nah / If I didn’t drink, I would have died at twenty. I got the stench of Paris, like a French cowboy If I didn’t drink, I would have died at twenty. I got the rats in Paris, and the midnight air. Going back to Paris, with a gun in my hand, and two bullets, for the, woman, with a, rose in her hair. Going back to Paris, with a gun in my hand, Cause I’m the rat king of the Bastille underground The man who killed Charlie Brown Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, / nah, nah, nah, nah / Chuck has got to die Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, / nah, nah, nah, nah / Who killed Charlie Brown Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, / nah, nah, nah, nah / Who killed Charlie Brown? Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, / nah, nah, nah, nah /

Hot summer’s night in a pick up truck, two best friends taught each other how to fuck. She Bit my lip and whispered slow, don’t chase our ghosts just, let them go. you re - mind me, of my dad. I want you in - side me, right now, so bad. Long as you live and as you breathe, I’ve got my reasons to believe. Bullfrog, gave the princess a kiss, that dragged her back from, the a - byss. Fell down on to my, hands and knees, and screamed so loud, birds flew out of trees. I always knew I was the luckiest man, When I wake up next to you and know exactly who and what I am. I always felt like I’m, the luckiest man Push in so deep, you scream for god, and push even deeper, until I am Your tender, sweet, forever heart, cut out of the cold and golden dark, everything you own in a shopping kart?, and you still, blame me I found you lying in the road, dying from trying to explode, I couldn’t rescue you, with these old rubber chicken wings, baby I feel empty without, you inside me, like a zombie’s dream, on a runaway lazer beam I feel empty without you, in - side me. Like a shiny new machine without a tiny human being, Use this useless, dried up and toothless, bumbling, slovenly, crumb - ling karate, drunken dead body, oddly positioned, obviously hidden, a new lobby in my prison, guilt is a tradition, silken till it’s sickened, built in a respected, perfected, precision, it’s dark and we’re fishing, the skate park in your kitchen but you never want to listen, like a Sunday Christian, few screws missing, teenage fiction, chicks dig it, like a DJ mixing, listen, I’m risking, crashing and, burning, smashing your fashion, rash and determined, I feel empty without, you inside me, where your fingers fit between, to work the puppet like a real human being I feel empty without, you inside me, like a lonely hunter, rolling out the thunder, for a beauty pageant queen. I always knew I was the luckiest man. Because you love me so much, you can’t even see who I am. I always felt like I’m, the luckiest man to beg and cry, and cheat, and lie, and live and die, that’s who am I, --- the luckiest man x2 The luckiest man.

My name is ira and I’m here to say. a lot of my friends are secretly gay Born that way, and scared to admit, because of the stigma‘s, attached to it. And it’s no fair, and it’s not cool. Being yourself is the golden rule. Don’t be scared, to be queer. Gay is the new chic, this year. hypocrites, and conservatives. Poisoning the minds, of innocent kids. Stop the hate, consider a minute. Homophobia, makes you a bigot. Why are you so, afraid of gay men, if all your porno’s, lesbian? Do you hate fag’s, and homo’s too. cause you think they want to have sex with you? A bit confused, change your views. The world is so fucked, because of your attitudes. Ignorance, is a disease, to all you misogynistic emcee’s. Take a second, and listen to this, you fucking Nazi son of a bitch. You’re not a racist, or sexist eh? But you hate gay people, because their gay? It’s 2010, raise your voice, mother fuckers think, being gay is a choice. Believe in the bible, read it then, Jesus preferred, the company of men. Boys and girls, have different parts. But it’s all the same thing, in the dark. It’s your time, and it’s your world. To all of my playboy’s, that read playgirl To all my playgirls, that read playboy. (chorus x 4) Say it loud, gay and proud We’re here. We’re queer. Get used of it. How can you, discriminate, when anal sex feels so great. Human rights. do whoever you like. Come out of the closet, and live your life. Easier said, that done I know. When your family disowns you, where do you go? Reality is. People are different, you can be ignorant, or you can get with it. Fundamentalists are embarrassed, at their sun and daughter’s gay marriage Don’t be stupid, don’t be crass, even hockey player’s, slap each other’s ass? Jeffery Star, Amanda blank, stereotypes are pretty rank. Moral and natural, making it work. My boyfriend is a priest at your church Me and my crew, we do it all. Boys kiss boys like, the kids in the hall. Basically, what you’re actually saying, is you have to hate gays, cause you’re a Jamacain? Explain to me, how that makes sense. Do you hate backyards, cause one time, you painted a fence? What’s the point, of getting violent, The truth can never be, ever be, silent. Social justice, nothing but this. Social justice, nothing but this. (chorus x 4) Say it loud, gay and proud We’re here. We’re queer. Get used of it.

Want It handed to me Someone going to tell me it’s unhealthy being mechanical, robots are individual, intrinsically expandable mechanically intangible, example and predicament, impotent, as a pyramid, the poison of a period, periodically the quality we call ingenious is defeatist, and I mean it, give your penis a lobotomy, attack of the attackers, fat, wack, rappers, world peace police with geese, in weed wackers, beast masters, b movie actors, drinking moka frapu, - ccino‘s at chapter‘s, photocopy of the mono lisa, know what you’re a piece a, found it in my pocket, brown chocolate pizza… lay fiver on the driver like MacGyver in Ibiza, just to tease the seniorita, with a worm in her tequila, feel the, style is, stylish, lucy, let me play my little piano in silence. Linus. The wildest, posse in effect, finest flyest recordings in re - corders, mic check, Against the fake in it, faking it,… a vet, I want to suck your blood and swall - ow it.

Can’t you see, what’s become of me. Can’t you see, what’s becoming of me. Why don’t you come back to me, ever since you been gone, I had a little bit of trouble moving on. I had a little bit of trouble staying strong. Had a little bit of trouble, but then I, had to, get a little bit out of my bubble. Why don’t you come back to me, ever since you been gone Why don’t you come back to me, ever since you been gone, I’ll admit, I been dealing with some shit. Why don’t you come back to me, Why don’t you come back to me, Why don’t you come back to me, Ever since you been gone, I’ll admit, I been dealing with some shit. Ain’t nothing been going right. Ain’t nothing that I can ‘like’, Ain’t nothing that going to get me out of the house tonight,. Cause I ain’t got no reason, I been dying here bleeding, I been trying to find a way, and I been trying to find a reason but no. Why don’t you, why don’t you, why don’t you know, and come back to me, cause I been sitting here and I’m getting so lonely. Cause I been sitting here waiting and it’s so lonely.

about

The story began November 2010, in a secret studio in Tours, France where trendsetting and genre bending indie groups are inter breeding and working (including Boogers, Piano Chat, Pneu, Mesparrow, French Cowboys, Fort Damage, and Funken) and where exclusive membership is by rare and special invitation only.

As Rubin Steiner was jamming on a remix of French electro group Bosco's 'Push it to the Limit' he could not finish, Rubin Steiner only had to go to the room next door, where Funken was working with a huge semi - black person with a funny quebec accent names Ira Lee.

Over a bottle of wine and some baguettes, the three decided to start a group that would record and release only one song. Thus, The Motherbeepers was born, and died. Deciding to further indulge their new found friendship and inspiration and collaborate further, Rubin Steiner and Ira Lee recorded 'We are the Future' just for fun in 2days.

Required themes: dance, dope rap shit, soul sceaming and spontaneity.
