He’s Your Guy
This was an early song made after returning from Argentina in July 2010. Whitney Killian is featured on the studio version that was recorded in my bedroom in Seattle. Whitney recorded the vocals on a newly purchased microphone on her first try. I knew it was going to be the one so I celebrated, and the sound of my scream can be heard in the background right after the first chorus.
The acoustic version was done in Vicken and Megan’s apartment in Brooklyn almost exactly a year later. Megan rocks the chorus. It’s always cool to hear how different vocalists make the same song seem so different.
He’s Your Guy
He’s so fly/ He could be your guy
He’s so fly/ He could be your guy
He’s so fly/ He could be your guy
He’s so fly/ Let me tell you why
Fuck the secretary I Don Drape that shit/ Savory grilled Argentine flank steak rich/ Senior citizen back pain playing bridge/ Disgusting I make your face straight cringe/ Your fate is on the table as it’s paint faintly chips/ Run or die son and you better decide quick/ We’re crazy over here so wild our side is/ Kick it with immigrant labor who came here to support 9 kids/
He’s so fly/ He could be your guy
He’s so fly/ He could be your guy
He’s so fly/ He could be your guy
He’s so fly/ Let me tell you why
That’s the power that’s behind lines I spit/ Hard to catch like a line drive hard hit/ Or a serve from Federer better words you should write/ Beginning of the end Pac met Suge Knight/ If I could fight I’d send a molly of wallops to all you molly coddling shit talkers cause all of us problems/ Do a favor get your ass sent to the gulag for being an alcoholic/ and enemy of mine is an enemy of Stalins/
He’s so fly/ He could be your guy
He’s so fly/ He could be your guy
He’s so fly/ He could be your guy
He’s so fly/ Let me tell you why
