The Tyranny of Tradition

Probably my weirdest hobby is rifling through the trash of my neighbors.  They seem to find it annoying and even frightening, but I think it’s important to get to know the people around you.  One of my neighbors happens to be Radric “Gucci Mane” Davis.  Mr. Zone 6 and I haven’t spoken much, although he once complemented me on the azaleas we are growing in our garden.  He tends to like to keep to himself.

I have been going through his garbage regularly for about a year and a half.  I haven’t found much worthwhile.  I can tell you he eats a good amount of pimento cheese and is a regular user of Rogaine.  Beyond that information, the only thing I ever found in there that was worthwhile was this copy of the original lyrics from his hit song “Lemonade”.  I like this version much more than the original, but Gucci knows a lot more about making hit music than I do.

Anyway, here’s a Tyranny of Tradition exclusive!  The original lyrics from Lemonade….

Lemonade

By Gucci Mane

Yellow eeerrrrything
Yellow Cars
Yellow Rims
Yellow Shirts
Patent Yellow Leather Garanimals
Yellow Teeth
Yellow Spleen
Yellow Orangutans
Yellow Baby Pandas
Yellow Dinosaurs
Yellow Fin Tuna

Bacon Lemonade in the Cheese Cup
Bag of Shoulder Blades in a Periodontal Disease Cup
Baking Lemonade in a Cheese Cup
Military Blockade of the Sleaze Pluck

The Romans invented Yellow
Yellow was a verb until 1943
Yellow is a mixture of blue and green
I painted my house Yellow
I painted my cat Yellow
My wife and I paint each other Yellow
I cleaned my sink with Yellow Drano
Donovan sang about Yellow

Bacon Flavored Waves in a Sneeze Cup
Feeling Vague Unease at Seeing My Wife’s Lung
Bag of Frozen Peas and a Pork Chop
Drinkin’ Mayonnaise from a Tea Cup

My uncle comes from a planet where all the women are Yellow  (BURR)
They ride on Yellow hovercrafts that are made of Yellow Martian flesh (BURR)
The capital of Ottawa is Yellow (BURR)
I’ve seen the greatest minds of my generation destroyed by Yellow
What rough Yellow beast, it’s hour come round at last, slouches towards Bethlehem to be Born
The square root of 27 is yellow
Yellow, a priest and a rabbi walk into a bar, bartender says “Is this some kind of joke?”
Lemon Yellow sun, arms raised in a V
Yellow was the reason they passed the 28^th Amendment
If it weren’t for Yellow all the settlers at Jamestown would have died (BURR)
Yellow was the third Vice President of the United States and killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel (BURR)

15 General Lee’s in a Pigs Skull
I Feel No Burning Need for the Speeze Guck
Missed The NBA Because My Knees Suck
Boiling Bag of Fleas in A Pink Lung
