The Seeker Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 I heard this song last night, and now I'm trying to find it. It was a guy singing, maybe more than one, and it seemed kinda trip rock to me... it reminded me of UNKLE somehow. I could be completely off of course. The only lyrics I remember are "this is the beginning" or "that's the beginning", something like "dead professors" (?) and the chorus had these la-la-la-la bits. Google doesn't help. I expected that dead professor bit to be helpful but I think I may have misheard that. Anyone recognise it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 What did the voice sound like? If it's trip hop they usually have guest vocalists. The only one I can think of that doesn't is Portishead. Otherwise Massive Attack, Unkle and Death in Vegas are the first I thought of but I can't think of anything by them that fits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farin Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 "this is the beginning" made me immediately think of Glory Box by Portishead only that there's nothing about dead professors and it's sung by a woman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seeker Posted June 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 No, it's not Glory Box. Sorry, I've no idea what the voice sounded like... male No one I recognised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_M Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 How about "2 Pieces Of Drama" by Everlast? It has the word "beginning" in it, but it has "dead king" and not "dead professor" in it. Could you have misheard that part? It also has the "la-la's in it. Here are the lyrics: 2 pieces of drama The hammer's bout' to fall 2 pieces of drama there's gunplay in the hall 2 pieces of drama Make peace with your momma, the consequence is dire 2 pieces of drama Boy you know not to play with fire He rocks a big ?? caber A ping pong table for a ring He's mentally unstable To him murder it ain't no thing He'll do you dirty style He's holding dirty bile He's out pumping on the corner Trying to stay warm And keep it cool like Miles He keeps it fundamental He's got the jeans and the bubblegoose on There's murder on his mental He's got the deuce deuce in his palm And y'all know the fable How cain did able Ever since the beginning The world keeps pinning just like a turntable 2 pieces of drama The hammer's bout' to fall 2 pieces of drama there's gunplay in the hall 2 pieces of drama Make peace with your momma, the consequence is dire 2 pieces of drama Boy you know not to play with fire La la la la la la la la [b Real Hand on the Pump sample] When it's selling out back Likes to pump crack To the fiends that be getting high He keeps his hand on the pump He's ready to dump On any chump that would even try He got a finger on the trigger He ain't scared to pull it Head full of liquor Boy you might catch a bullet They're holes in stable Drugs on the table Everybody's sitting round Watching cops on the cable Dressed like a slob Keeps his hair braided He's never been robbed, He's only been raided. He's never known joy The boy is so jaded He's never been loved He's only been hated His soul's on ice His heart is stone Just another dead king Rotting on his throne With a pain that would Cut you down to the bone You're born alone Boy you die alone 2 pieces of drama The hammer's bout' to fall 2 pieces of drama there's gunplay in the hall 2 pieces of drama Make peace with your momma, the consequence is dire 2 pieces of drama Boy you know not to play with fire [x2] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
