Bonus Track

I need a tune. Best submittal gets a piece of shrapnel.


Night of the Big Voice


Big ol’ Voice says “a bomb’s a comin’”
Hooch starts a shakin’ and I know he’s right
If one hits close I’m gonna soon meet my maker
Fuckers launch that crap most days and nights
Tryin’ to sleep when the static went at it
Follows the boom and I hear him each time
Stay under cover says the big guy, like last time
Gonna be a long night

Big ol’ Voice comes a squawkin’
I-Z will be rockin’ – Lockdown!
Big ol’ Voice comes a squawkin’
I-Z, man, it will be rockin’

Pulled the sheets way up under my chin then
Use my armor to strengthen the cause
Try to make myself awfully small now
Shrapnel? Flesh? Not good. Makes me squeamish.
Where are my homies I thought to myself then
They don’t care if I live or I die now
We was in lockdown and nobody checked on me
Gonna be a long night

(I say the)
Big ol’ Voice comes a squawkin’
I-Z will be rockin’ – Lockdown!
Big ol’ Voice comes a squawkin’
I-Z, man, it will be rockin’


[Attention in the compound. This is the Big Voice. We are in lockdown. I say again – lockdown, lockdown, lockdown. If you are outside, seek shelter and follow the instruction of the guard. If you are inside a hardened shelter, stand fast. I say again – lockdown, lockdown, lockdown.]
