Liner Notes

I've been listening to Qveen Herby lately and wanted to play with some of her production style. Unsurprisingly, that turned into full on rap. Also I loved the "Barbaric yawp" skirmish prompt so had to do something with that.

Lyrics

I can be barbaric if you want me to
Whoop some ass with a capital W
I can be barbaric if you want me to
Rip you up and leave you feeling black and blue
I can be barbaric if you want me to
Whoop some ass with a capital W
I can be barbaric if you want me to
Rip you up and leave you feeling black and blue

I got all the moves you never saw coming
I got all the juice, you got exactly nothing
Catch me in these shoes that you wish you could fill
And if you think that I suck, then you can die on that hill
I am a fairy, fucking legendary, I'm more than you can carry, like fucking Bloody Mary
And it's my earthly duty to be so very groovy
I'm like lapis lazuli, like crystals and patchouli

I can be barbaric if you want me to
Whoop some ass with a capital W
I can be barbaric if you want me to
Rip you up and leave you feeling black and blue
I can be barbaric if you want me to
Whoop some ass with a capital W
I can be barbaric if you want me to
Rip you up and leave you feeling black and blue

I am walking poetry and people always know it
When I put on another show I got that opening night glow
And when the curtains open wide I am a diva amplified and I'm oh so dignified while you're still on the other side
I'm in the movies, like Marilyn and Judy
People always say they knew me when I was just a cutie
And things are getting juicy, it's gonna be a doozy
Watch out when I flash my jewelry, my emeralds and rubies

I can be barbaric if you want me to
Whoop some ass with a capital W
I can be barbaric if you want me to
Rip you up and leave you feeling black and blue
I can be barbaric if you want me to
Whoop some ass with a capital W
I can be barbaric if you want me to
Rip you up and leave you feeling black and blue

I'm not a nice little girl anymore, I'm the queen of the world
I'm not a mother or mother of pearl
Not a collector, I'm a connoisseur
You don't wanna fuck with me or test your luck with me
Honey I'm bittersweet just like a trick or treat
I am legit, unlike your bullshit, I'm not gonna quit
You're my dog now, so sit

I can be barbaric if you want me to
Whoop some ass with a capital W
I can be barbaric if you want me to
Rip you up and leave you feeling black and blue
I can be barbaric if you want me to
Whoop some ass with a capital W
I can be barbaric if you want me to
Rip you up and leave you feeling black and blue

the rhythms and wordplay are so playful. you are so verbally dextrouse, both written and performance! nice one

wow - how long did you have to practice those fast lines til you could deliver them? I love it when people try new stuff (or maybe you've done this before?) and I've alway loved this genre (on the DL,😆)! Way to change the cadence of your lines from verse to verse also. Very cool.

This is fun! Great rapping and very nice beat!
[avatar]
yeah yeah this what I'm talking about! as soon as it started my head was swaying and bopping, love this little whoop whoops , nah this one a tune! we should jump on something together.

So many great lines in here and I especially love the second stanza. “Die on that hill” is brill. Terrific rhythms you’re playing with. Reminds me a bit of Kreayshawn. (whoop whoop!)

Epic is the word. This is a "take no prisoners" song.
[avatar]
This is epic!! I love the vocal doubles! Especially love the vocal effects on "barbaric" in the background. And wow that third verse GOES HARD, awesome lyrics, awesome phrasing, you absolutely smashed this!
[avatar]
Sick beat, love the synth choices. The ad lib vox are perfect!
[avatar]
such energy and original delivery. I really enjoyed listening to this. Woop woop!!!!!!
[avatar]
Yoooooooo. Was not expecting this. Great flow, awesome badass lyrics. I like the beat too. Always moving forward. The backing vocals and overall vibe are really genre appropriate. Great!
[avatar]
Hmmm...now I feel like I need to a rap song before the dust settles this 50/90. Excellent work on this!
[avatar]
aw man it's such a different way of writing rap than what i do. i really like playing with flow and lyrics and form, but here you really leaned into the simple repetition and went ham with the groove. really cool
"You're my dog now, so sit" fucking fire lmao

Big fan of qveen herby and this definitely gives me that vibe! your rhymes cannot be stopped! catchy af!
[avatar]
think I'll be 'whoop whoop'- ing for a long time to come! fun track, great job
[avatar]
excellent writing delivered in your own style of rap. the chorus is particularly catchy and memorable. you may not have intended this subtext which is purely subjective on my part, but i felt a clever contradictory pull in the word barbaric, at the same time alluding to a barbie doll and a Xena warrior queen.

Don't hear much rap around here, so a very pleasant surprise! This immediately pulled me in and lyrics were just twisted, fun... "rip you up and leave you feeling black and blue", yes! (got here with the random song button)
[avatar]
love the layered vox here! this is way cool! so different, very cool base! all round excellent song
[avatar]
Ha! Too much fun and so catchy and I love it!!
[avatar]
This is so fucking fun!
Great rhythm, and all those words! They flow, they punch, and that third verse is just *chef's kiss*!
