Big ol Butt 03:54
When I see a big butt I avert my eyes I know I can’t be the reason why you grew them thighs But let me tell you something that I learned the hard way When they see you look away there’s a price to pay They say “This big butt’s good enough for you” “Let me get you all alone I’ll show you just what it would do” I say “I’m just trying to be a gentleman” This is where my troubles they will always begin It’s a big ol butt, I’ll tell you what It’s a big ol butt, there’s nothing wrong with it It’s a big ol butt and it’s on the attack Why you gotta hurt somebody like that? Don’t hurt, don’t hurt me, I won’t, won’t hurt you I can’t take much more, I’m feeling this, I’m feeling it It’s a big ol butt, and it’s pointed at me It’s a big ol butt, there’s nothing to see It’s some big ol butts in a big old stack Why you gotta hurt somebody like that? It’s a big ol butt, I’ll tell you what It’s a big ol butt, there’s nothing wrong with it It’s a big ol butt and it’s on the attack Why you gotta hurt somebody like that? People gonna say looking at butts is wrong Where I’m coming from big butt means strong I’m sure some of you think it’s nasty to say But then I see you come around on another day When you wag your finger while I’m taking a look That thing you’re swinging around has really got me shook I ain’t dead got eyes in my head All we’re thinking about is taking this to bed It’s a big ol butt, on a big old shelf It’s a big ol butt, I can’t help myself It’s a big ol butt, think I need some help Why you gotta hurt somebody like that?

(What’s been on your mind?) Don’t know why you think you gotta try to take me away from all of this Just to satisfy your mind’s eye aw, yeah you’re losing it I am losing my mind nearly every time someone falls in love with me I can tell what’s on your mind No, it wasn’t really hard to find All these feelings we’re ignoring they’re important to me I wanna see you in my life Every time that I meet someone else that really seems to care I wonder how the hell that I could ever be there Now everybody knows that they should not even dare I could tell you (What’s been on your mind?) I could have you (What’s been on your mind?) I could miss you (What’s been on your mind?) I could kiss you (What’s been on your mind?) I want you to know that I’m really here, Our time, it is growing so scarce These decisions made so long ago, What could change our mind? I can tell what’s on your mind No, it wasn’t really hard to find All these feelings we’re ignoring they’re important to me I wanna see you in my life I could tell you (What’s been on your mind?) I could have you (What’s been on your mind?) I could miss you (What’s been on your mind?) I could kiss you (What’s been on your mind?)

She Hulk 03:23
You don’t want them to see All that you show to me This negotiation Reminds my station As I show mercy It tries my patience As it passes me by Somewhere else I could fly There’s just something about her I don’t know She got that She Hulk She got that green lovin She won’t just break your heart She’s gonna break you in half She thinks I don’t know what to do with sunshine If I don’t come running I’m out of my mind Just like everyone There’s a beast in me That wants to see everything We know if I come over It would all be over I’d be all too eager to show you She’s got the kinda green that’ll light you up And she’s got the kinda love that’ll make you feel fresh like green Fresh like green She got that She Hulk She got that green lovin She won’t just break your heart She’s gonna break you in half She thinks I don’t know what to do with sunshine If I don’t come running I’m out of my mind There’s just something about you She’s got the kinda green that’ll light you up And she’s got the kinda love that’ll make you feel fresh like green, fresh like green She’s the kinda green that’ll light you up She’s the kinda fresh that’ll make you feel so clean, clean like green

Everybody just back up off me I don’t want you around The way that all of you breathing on me I don’t like the sound Every time I’m looking out my window at the world My mind starts turn inside and finds another girl to see Away from me is where you should be Can’t tell which one of us is the ghost I feel like I want it the most I give you the right of first refusal You’re always so insistent But you ain’t never consistent When you tell me what you’re wanting of me I never feel the pressure Cuz you want it just for pleasure But I don’t wanna get in the way Juice reduced to either swiping left or to swipe right Even when it all works out I’ve lost another night Acting like you want me yeah you’re reaching out to touch Now you’re telling these lies to me and it’s become too much to bear Away from me is where you gotta stay Maybe it’s best if you weren’t my guest How I’m feeling take you a guess I don’t want no part of this shit You’re always so insistent But you ain’t never consistent When you tell me what you’re wanting of me I never feel the pressure Cuz you want it just for pleasure But I don’t wanna get in the way Away from me is where you gotta go Can’t tell which one of us is the ghost I feel like I want it the most I give you the right of first refusal

Let me tell you a bit about myself, I come from a real eccentric family Everybody in my life’s a little weird As I’m reflecting on where I’ve been I’m constantly remembering Feeling never really goes away Anywhere I go is not to stay I want you to tell me what I‘m doing wrong Never mean to get all strung along All the people that mean so much Seems our lives will never touch Let me tell you a bit about myself, I’ve been through a lot of different problems Everywhere I go it’s always something new As I’m travelling around the world Connecting with another girl People are left wondering If I have become undone I don’t know where this is leading Take my hand I’m following As I’m pouring out my heart to you Nothing that I say will do I want you to tell me when I am wrong I don’t wanna get all strung along Let me tell you a bit about myself, I don’t wanna be another preacher So many ways it seems of reaching someone else Let me tell you a bit about myself, I really am from another planet Almost no one keeps their sanity intact Let me tell you a bit about myself, My world is the site of constant murder I don’t even know just how I ended up alive Let me tell you a bit about myself, Don’t want you to think that I’m ungrateful As I’m walking out I slam it in your face

I never really listened to hip hop I never really listened to hip hop much But once I gave it a try I just found the touch It don’t take much to lay out words across time Make up a beat and I’ll bring the rhyme Everywhere I look seems like people got a gimmick You can tell they got the look but their heart’s not really in it Some wear masks and some wear capes Looking back now it all seems like a big mistake Naw, I don’t need spandex and I don’t need gold lame I’m just trying to get you to hear what I have to say See how respectful I am to the source material Everyone is gonna see I’m a serial Killer, a word dealer A mad maniac that shouldn’t really even be up here What’s up, here? I don’t know cuz when the words flow to where they go I lost that thought in a cloud of smoke I never really listened to hip hop That’s right I’m up here and I’m rappin like your granddad Old school’s got iller flow than we will ever have When I was coming up rap was in its infancy Like three amigos known for its infamy Every day we’d play a beat box in the lunch room Learned all about harsh life too soon Ghetto blaster pumping jams all gathered around Settle matters by the dozens on the playground Hanging with my friends in the neighborhood Coming from all walks trying to be understood My Mom’s is pretty chill she’d let me play what I play Except for Body Count when she heard that she threw it away I never thought that I would ever get around to rap But then this music found me, sometimes it works like that I hope you found this little experiment amusing I’m choosing to get myself back to work

Killgames 03:41
This kill game’s not a thrill game, Like what sits upon your screen Don’t never ask that question, About what made me mean I made my decision, That I would survive Anyone and anything that sought to take my life I saw this gal, At the battle royale She was all kitted out like a killing machine Wherever you looked, there was carnage and death She was always there for it, Like it‘s good for her health They put a mark on your head, Someone that wants you dead When you come up in my sights, I’ll pull the trigger and blow you away But they don’t know I love you, And I would rather die out Than to complete this mission, I’ll just leave you alone So I quit the game, so I don’t go insane Thinking bout your eyes, I was feeling so lame I don’t actually want to rack up all these kills And I would never kill anyone just for thrills This kill game’s not a thrill game, Like what sits upon your screen Don’t never ask that question, About what made me mean I made my decision, That I would survive Anyone and anything that sought to take my life They put a mark on your head, Someone that wants you dead When you come up in my sights, I’ll pull the trigger and blow you away But they don’t know I love you, And I would rather die out Than to complete this mission, I’ll just leave you alone

Takedown 02:07
No one ever told me there was anything wrong I like to play the games where you hide the bodies Roll up from behind and just hide somebody If you’re in my way, you’ve all gotta go Pop em one by one so no one knows Excuse me while I power up the CRT (cathode ray tube) The sound system’s anything but LCD (liquid crystal display) I’m not here to give you TLC (tender lovin’ care) Just hit you in the face with S and LAP (sabot light armor penetrator) Everybody knows I’m the MVP (most valuable player) I always bring the HEAT (high explosive anti tank) I am anything but G and P (general-purpose) The one and only person with no BZ (buffer zone) That’s why I like to play the games where you hide the bodies Roll up from behind and just hide somebody If you’re in my way, you’ve all gotta go Pop em one by one so no one knows No one told me there was anything wrong With having a fantasy Let me tell you all about my SOP (standard operating procedure) And how it all relates to the ROE (rules of engagement) I’m always on my minimum TTT (time to target) While everyone’s searching for my POC (point of contact) Finally gonna kick you in your PVT (privates) Let me tell you that’s got a high PD (probability of damage) All of my enemies are FUGAZI (fucked up got ambushed zipped in) Cuz I always get my HVT (high value target) Is it okay to like to play the games where you hide the bodies? Roll up from behind and just hide somebody If you’re in my way, you’ve all gotta go Pop em one by one so no one knows No one told me there was anything wrong With having a fantasy where I am deadly

Hey, what’s up, it’s Gatt Meania, The rapper from another planet Where what I’m doing right now is totally not weird at all Now, I’m not quite sure how I got here, but if you think this world is crappy Lemme tell you about where I come from The whole entire planet’s just an evil machine, Our rulers worship death and deny reality They’ve put a system in place that’s meant to keep us down Until each and every face has been replaced with a frown How did they do it, and why’s it this way?, Many people ask themselves this every day No matter which way we try to overcome, All of these efforts, they come undone Now, you’d think that the mandate to rule would be, like, contingent Upon some manner of public acceptance or something But apparently, they just find another way to avoid providing any protections So we’re all out here wondering how we’re gonna get through yet another day While some jerk’s thinking how it would benefit them to just put us away These deceitful politicians are all complete liars, They take all our blood then they set it on fire Seems like all it’d take is some creativity, But every test has shown us that they are all cronys Cuz, the people up on top got this insidious plan Where everyone is under them and they are the man We all just go along with it, what can we do? Suppose that’s why I’m here, let me tell you These corrupt cops are total cowards, the ones that do good have been disempowered All our laws are fiscal classism in disguise Seems so attractive to a fascist type of guy That wants to stand on your neck, denying you the respect Of looking you in the eye when he’s killing you They go for their gun when they’re scared of a child, will we ever stop adding to the murder pile? They lie and they steal and they plant and they deal And they can’t seem to feel for anyone but themselves, everyone else they disregard It’s almost like we’re partly responsible For the rampage they’ve brought upon our neighborhoods I don’t owe an apology to anyone that means to victimize someone else I call it something else I don’t live in a fallacy, just a vulnerable community of people placed at risk By you

I’m all dressed up now with nowhere to go, I’ll tell you everything you want to know Always seems up to me what you think of me, Oh, I can’t get a break all on my own Thought everyone cared for me, but now I see, I’m just hanging on the telephone Will you be my friend? Will this be the end? I really wanna know does this all work out just like I seen on TV? Am I just crazy, or contrary, for swimming in my own stream? Instead of treading water alongside everyone I’m drowning in myself Will this be the end? Will you be my friend? I got it bad, the internet blues I don’t know about you But it ain’t never once hit me in the feels Yeah I got it bad Cuz don’t none of it ever seem to be real

about

"Hey, what’s up, it’s Gatt Meania, the rapper from another planet
where what I’m doing right now is totally not weird at all..."

Greenia is Gatt Meania in
THE RAPPER FROM ANOTHER PLANET

Dude Hugs is pleased to present Gatt Meania's "The Rapper From Another Planet", an absurdist satire of hip hop gone wrong in an ammosexual dystopia

In a world where firearms have achieved self-awareness, humans merely act as caretakers for their gun-fu overlords

Gatt Meania somehow escaped, and now lives with us here on Earth

From the title track to more flippant entries like "Big ol Butt", Gatt is letting us know just what things are like on his planet, and how it's not as different from our world as we might like to think

This record came about from trying to find an outlet for the beats I make for MIDIITIS

A DJ told me about sales funnels, which led me to Russell Brunson, which is how I found out about Legion and Anno Domini

After joining Legion and AD's MIDI Money group, I got access to some of their beats

These songs emerged over those beats, with extensive help from Graham Dowdy and some choice contributions from Naomi Lavender
