‘Laid’ — #Lyrics To A Woke Pop-Rock-Rap Song

This is my attempt to write a Kanye West type song. I’m kind of full of rage about someone telling me to just enjoy the “humming” economy and get laid while Trump destroys the nation I love, so this is my attempt to, in verse, give a response. I have no beats and think of this as a first draft, but I think the concept is strong, if nothing else.

Laid
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner

please give credit if you produce or perform

you tell me to enjoy the humming economy
get laid and forget it all

this is crazy, motherfucker
this is crazy can’t you see
Trump is destroying the nation we both love
you want me to flee but I won’t
you tell me to enjoy the hum job
that I’m forced to give
not going to slob Trump’s knob
I’m nobody’s bitch and I don’t snitch
I’m going to fight on the beaches
till the blood is drained from my body
there’s nothing you can say or do
to prevent me from going to the polls

you tell me just to get laid
you tell me just to get laid
like any woman I was with
wouldn’t want to give Trump a fit

the humming economy is Obama’s
I’m not going to slob Trump’s knob
fuck Trump and his ilk
why they tax the solar panels
as the world burns
we’re all in a lump of coal in space
burning fast under the sun’s heat

you tell me just to get laid
you tell me just to get laid
like any woman I was with
wouldn’t want to give Trump a fit

we’re all fighting the good fight
nothing is going to change while we’re in chains
going to the polls to make a difference
my sisters and brothers know the truth
we know what we got to do

you tell me just to get laid
you tell me just to get laid
like any woman I was with
wouldn’t want to give Trump a fit

‘A Blue Wave Is Comin” — #Lyrics To A Pop-Rock-Folk Song

I enjoy writing lyrics because it’s relaxing. No one cares about anything I write one way or another, so this is just me mentally masturbating. I just like to try to tell stories in verse, so you get this. This is about my hopes for the 2018 mid-terms.

A Blue Wave Is Comin’
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

things are looking dire
seems like all we can do is aspire
to a blue wave this year
something to bring back sanity
but who knows what will happen
all we can do is vote, vote, vote

a blue wave is comin’
a blue wave is comin’
that’s right
a blue wave is on its way
gunna blow Trump away

nothing seems to change
I watch events as they unfold on TV
when will my government return to normality
will I ever get to see anything change
or will the fascist when in the end
all I can say is believe
believe in the truth

a blue wave is comin’
a blue wave is comin’
that’s right
a blue wave is on its way
gunna blow Trump away

[bridge]
how they can keep a straight face
up on capitol hill while they lie
for a cheap thrill
I just don’t know

in the end
we’ll win my friend
that you can trust me about
we’ve got history on our side
let’s ride!

a blue wave is comin’
a blue wave is comin’
a blue wave is comin’
a blue wave is comin’

‘The Wall Is The Wall’ — #Lyrics To A Pop-Rock Ballad

As usual, Trump tweeted something stupid this morning. The turned out dumber than I expect, but it’s just a very rough first draft. Made me feel better to write it.

The Wall Is The Wall
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

I’ve been a loon for years now
president now I spout off on stupid shit
the key to my success has to been my dumb wall
the idea hasn’t change at all
even though it has
the wall is the wall
the wall is the wall

people try to convince me we don’t need a wall
that they don’t make for good neighbors
and there is something that doesn’t like one
but I won’t listen because I never do
you can’t get me to change my mind I never will
the wall is the wall
the wall is the wall
the wall is the wall

when we’re dead from my pushing my big red button
it won’t matter at all
but I have the gaul to push for my damn wall
doesn’t matter if you have a dream
a dream of staying in this great nation
the wall is the wall
the wall is the wall
the wall is the wall

‘Lulz, Nothing Matters’ — #Lyrics To A Woke Pop Song

This concept is pretty strong.

Lulz, Nothing Matters
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

lulz, nothing matters
lulz, nothing matters
lulz, nothing matters
lulz, nothing matters

Trump can trample our freedoms left and right
all that matters for me is the economy
as long as its humming a long
doesn’t matter not everyone can sing their song

when they come for you I’ll just laugh
smile right back you as you cry in pain
nothing matters at all so what’s the point
I rake in the dough so what the point
lulz, nothing matters
lulz, nothing matters
lulz, nothing matters

the stock market keeps reaching new heights
I get to spend a quiet night with my wife
doesn’t matter to me that you’re in a camp
you should have just shut up when you had the chance
lulz, nothing matters
lulz, nothing matters
lulz, nothing matters

[bridge]
watch me as I dance on your grave
you were my friend long ago
now you’re getting the smarts kicked out of you
why are you so blue?

I wish you would wake up to your fate
find yourself a nice girl to date
if you were getting laid
you wouldn’t have so views
I trust you get the point of my words
otherwise there’s nothing left of you

‘I Call Bullshit’ — #Lyrics To An Angry Woke Pop-Rock Song Protesting Trump

This song is me giving my general view of Trump supporters’ point of view. They’re all full of shit and talking to them makes me furious.

I Call Bullshit
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or peform

your views make my skin crawl
I get a splitting headache thinking of you talk
you think Trump is going to make America great again
but the world hates us now
is that making America great?
shut up I don’t care what you have to say

I call bullshit
on your views
I call bullshit
on what you think
I call bullshit
you deplorable, deplorable, deplorable

nothing I say seems to make a difference
you’re member of a cult, cult, cult
Trump could whip out his wang on Fox News
and you wouldn’t blink an eye
that’s because your views are bullshit, bullshit, bullshit

don’t know how this ends
it doesn’t seem like it will be well
we’re going down a dangerous road
a dark path is before us
all I can say is I think your views are bullshit

I call bullshit
on your views
I call bullshit
on what you think
I call bullshit
you deplorable, deplorable, deplorable

[bridge]
your views are vile and ignorant
full of shit, full of shit, full of shit
you’re a member of cult

there’s nothing we can do
it seems but call it like we see it
Trump supporters are full of shit
and we’ve got to bring and end to this terror
vote, vote, vote, vote

‘Standing On Principle’ — #Lyrics To A Woke Folk-Country-Pop Song

The music to these lyrics would be something slow and folk-country like a Charlie Daniels’ song. I got the chorus from Twitter.

Standing On Principle
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you perform or produce

the man on TV tells me the crazy shit going on
my friends support Trump but I don’t that for sure
they explain that he’s making America great again
but I won’t deny what I can hear and see
no matter what happens
I’m standing on principle
the one I was raised with that ain’t going no where
no matter what Trump may do or say

Trump’s a weak man’s ideal of a strong man
a dumb man’s ideal of a smart man
a failure’s ideal of a success
because of that I’m standing on principle
standing on principle
standing on principle

all I can say is if you love this country
you need to get to work
you need to engage your brothers and sister
we got to join forces to make a difference
we got to stand on principle
we got to stand on principle

I remember back in the day
when people were honest and true
when a politician told me something
I knew it was at least half true
but now, it’s all bullshit
what are we to do, what are we to do
we got to stand on principle
we got to stand on principle

Trump’s a weak man’s ideal of a strong man
a dumb man’s ideal of a smart man
a failure’s ideal of a success
because of that I’m standing on principle
standing on principle
standing on principle

[bridge]
things are bad it obvious to see
but maybe with a little luck
things will get better you see
you’ve got to have hope

I don’t know what will happen next
but the future looks pretty bleak
unless we stand on principle
if we don’t stand on principle
we got nothing left to fight for
don’t let them get you down
be sure to stand on principle
stand on principle
stand on principle

‘Hoe That Row’ — #Lyrics To Hip-Hop / R&B Song

This is an allusion to something I once saw Erykah       Badu once mention about the type of guy she likes. Anyway, this would be a hip-hop R&B song that had a beat and you could dance to. At least, it would be if I had any beats to go with it. I’m just screwing around. No one cares about any of these lyrics, though I may be annoying a few people by writing so many of them. These lyrics are from a female point of view because it’s more amusing that way. I like this one. It’s fun. Still a first draft, but it was fun to write.

Hoe That Row
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

don’t care what kind of guy you are
you can be short or tall
smart or dumb
all I care is when the time is right
late at night
you know how to

hoe that row
how that row
how that row

some people may complain
say I’m insane
that I don’t demand enough
from the men in my life
but what’s the point
if I don’t quibble with how I get delight

love is hard to come by
difficult as can be
the right kind of guy is apt to flee
leaving you alone to be
but all I know if
you can hoe that row
you’re the man for me

hoe that row
how that row
how that row

[bridge]
if you hoe that row
hard enough who knows
love may bloom
and my heart may spring forth
with the glow of the sun

it’s ok to get dirty
that’s why I believe
so if you hoe that row
just right you won’t mind the mud

‘Overtime’ — #Lyrics To An R&B Song

This is my homage to the great song “Primetime.” This song is about a couple who both work overtime so much they’re too tired to fool around. This is meant to be them talking about their struggle to get romantic. That may end up being too difficult to write, but we’ll see.

Overtime
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

[her]
have to work hard to pay the bills
too tired for any thrills
we’ve got two babies to feed
sometimes it’s difficult to make ends meet
but you still put me in heat

[him]
break my back that’s a fact
trying to put food on the table
sometimes wanna take you on the table
as you walk on by
you still make me hot as can be

[both]
overtime we have to work
every day it seems
overtime is where the money is made
but it gets in the way
of our love

[her]
we’ve been together for years
we’ll be together till the end
our love will always burn bright
no matter how many times we work overnight

[him]
my love is strong
I know you’ll always long for me
just as I want you late at night
when I need to sleep
we’ll make our ends meet

[both]
overtime we have to work
every day it seems
overtime is where the money is made
but it gets in the way
of our love

‘Extra’ — #Lyrics To A Pop Song

This is my attempt at just regular old pop song. I have no beats — and can’t afford any — so I just find existing music I think fits the concept and run with it. If I had a co-writer and new beats, I probably could do something cool with this. As always, consider this just a first draft.

Extra
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

nothing can be done
that can’t be done well
so dwell on this
if you want to be mine
you’re going to have deal
with me
and my inclination
to be little extra

nothing is simple
with me in your life
just wait for the delight

I’m going to be extra
no matter what you say
extra is just my way
extra is just my way

you think you got me figured out
understand what I’m all about
but me being extra is not act
that’s a fact you’ll have to see
when you’re alone with me

nothing is simple
with me in your life
just wait for the delight

I’m going to be extra
no matter what you say
extra is just my way
extra is just my way

[bridge]
you think you can understand me
think you can impress me with bling
but you have to know
my extra is me to my core
so don’t be a bore

when the lights are down low
you’ll know why you put up with my shit
you’ll get my drift cause I’ll make it simple
I’ll go the extra mile
to put a smile on your face

‘Hell In Heels’ — #Lyrics To A Pop Song

Really, this one is just me trying my hand at writing a pop song after studying pop songs for a little bit. I’m sure I could speed up the process if I learned how to play guitar and read a book on songwriting. Might even get laid. But fuck that. I just like to write and it’s not like anything will come of all this lyric writing I’m doing. It’s just relaxing. It’s times like this when I wish I had beats.

Hell In Heels
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

she got that strut
knows you like it rough
makes you sweat as she walks on by
the gyrations of her hips
makes you think she’ll give you the slip

those heels make her legs bring you to your knees
she looks at you and at once
knows she can do as she please
she ain’t stupid oh not at all
she knows you want a piece of her
but she is going to make you work

she’s hell in heels
hell in heels
are you willing to make a deal
with the devil in high heels
she’s hell in heels

nothing can compare to her in that short skirt
those heels are to die for
she’ll make you kill yourself with lust
thinking of what might be
but those heels are made for walking
she’s a devil it’s for sure
she’s hell in heels
hell in heels
hell in heels

she’s hell in heels
hell in heels
are you willing to make a deal
with the devil in high heels
she’s hell in heels

[bridge]
nothing can compare
to the devil when she makes a dare
are you ready to go where she demands
when you see her come your way
you know it’s true
you’ll do what you do

hell in heels won’t say no
you know she’s got you in her sights
she’ll give you delight or a slight
depending on her mood
what can you do
she’s hell in heels
she’s hell in heels
she’s hell in heels
