JJAHBG
Music
Release Date: 11/23/2018
The self titled album JJAHBG is a product of the band’s long history and varied influences. The music is marked by JJAHBG’s signature disdain for genre continuity, creating a kaleidoscopic yet unified whole. The songs range from instrumentals to hip hop to psychedelic indie rock and the pop-punk. Several of the tracks have existed, at least lyrically, for many years, before finally being perfected for this release. Others were created much more recently, and with a much different lyrical and musical story. This history to the music offers listeners a unique perspective, each song a window into a different time and place for the band.

Lyrics
Break Yo Knees
There’s a girl named slate
She's quite good at basketball
But you better watch out
Because she just might break yo knees
There’s a girl named slate
She's quite good at basketball
But you better watch out
Because she just might break yo knees
There’s a girl named slate
She's quite good at basketball
But you better watch out
Because she just might break yo knees
There’s a girl named slate
She's quite good at basketball
But you better watch out
Because she just might break yo knees
the night the a-train rolled through town
I'm out of love
I'm on the floor
I don’t know where I'm going to get some more
I'm out of love
Don't ask me how
All because the A-Train rolled on through town
Gone through town
Well, I had me a baby
Pretty as can be
I told her that I loved her
So she said the same to me
That’s when A-Train flew in from Cali
And that’s the night my baby left me
My baby left me
I'm out of love
I'm on the floor
I don’t know where I'm going to get some more
I'm out of love
Don't ask me how
All because the A-Train rolled on through town
I'm out of love
I'm on the floor
I don’t know where I'm going to get some more
I'm out of love
Don't ask me how
All because the A-Train rolled on through town
Gone through town
I tried to bring her roses
And I tried to bring her gifts
But A-Train just disparaged them
With razor sharp wit
So I put up my dukes and challenged to a fight
And next thing that I knew he knocked out all the lights
Out all the what?
Out all the lights
I'm out of love
I'm on the floor
I don’t know where I'm going to get some more
I'm out of love
Don't ask me how
All because the A-Train rolled on through town
Gone through town
Can’t match his style
Can’t match his class
There ain't no way to match
That sculpted ass
I'm out of love
I'm on the floor
I don’t know where I'm going to get some more
I'm out of love
Don't ask me how
All because the A-Train rolled on through town
Gone through town
Can’t match his style
Can’t match his class
Can’t match his style
Can’t match his class
Can’t match his style
Can’t match that class
So how is a simple bluesman
Going to compete with that?
Beautiful dream
I close my eyes
You're there
The universe is your hair
I can't explain all the things that I've experienced
When I think I'm alone in darkness
You're a beautiful (Darkness)
Beautiful dream (Darkness)
You're a beautiful (Darkness)
Beautiful dream (Darkness)
You're a beautiful
Beautiful dream
You're a beautiful
Beautiful dream
I theorize, philosophize
But nothing helps
You feel so real
When I'm with you my hope swells
My hope swells
My hope swells
My hope swells
My hope swells
You're a beautiful (Darkness)
Beautiful dream (Darkness)
You're a beautiful (Darkness)
Beautiful dream (Darkness)
You're a beautiful
Beautiful dream
You're a beautiful
Beautiful dream
Let’s Jam
Yeah, we back
So where my bitches at?
Because I'm ready and willing to jam, my friend
Got plenty of green and I'm ready to spend
On gear, and beer, and instruments of fear
And don't you say I'm taking too far
Just stop for a minute, and hear this guitar
So feel that beat
Crank that heat
Hit that street
Because I don’t give a damn, y'all
Let’s jam
Whoa, whoa whoa whoa. Whoa. Whoa
You’re telling me you want to jam?
Yeah
Ok
I’ll tell you how I jam
Let you see the kind of person I am
Start by getting a pot of paint
Then throwing it the hell all over the place
On the ground and on the walls
Smear it on my face like some kind of war paint
And mid splash make a riff that never ends
Then walk away and never play it again
You got them toys in your grips
Tingle through your fingertips
And you're feeling kind of ready
Like its time to jam
Grab your weapon of choice
Let the mic hear your voice
Because now I know you're ready
To jam, jam, jam, jam, jam
Oh, no. Here comes A-Train
Hide the ladies
Looks like the calm before the storm
Jams been with me since I was born
Can't ignore this feeling
All I want to do is fucking jam
Cruising down the PCH
Chasing goats from outer space
There's no need to worry
There’s no need to hurry
Just fucking jam
My name is Captain Marc Anthony
But the ladies, they call me A-Train
Just fucking jam
You got them toys in your grips
And you’re feeling kind of ready
Grab your weapon of choice
Because now I know you’re ready
You got them toys in your grips
Tingle through your fingertips
And you're feeling kind of ready
Like its time to jam
Grab your weapon of choice
Let the mic hear your voice
Because now I know you're ready
Yeah, now I know you’re ready
Now I know you’re ready
To jam, jam, jam, jam, jam
Plug in the guitar
Plug in the bass
Plug in some port right in your face
We're jamming all night until the break of day
Then go outside and run around and play
Paint brush balanced between the teeth
And I pull my steam punk goggles over my eyes
And believe that I'm super fly
7 pM
It's 7PM your time
And I know that you're gone
Too long
And I can't help myself from wondering when
Your return will come
Will come
Will come
It’s 7PM my time
And I drink this wine
Because you're gone
So wrong
And I can't fill this space inside
I can't describe how I will go on
Go on
Go on
I can't see whats been bothering me
While the shadows are haunting me
I can't see whats been bothering me
While the shadows are haunting me
I can't see whats been bothering me
While the shadows are haunting me
I can't see whats been bothering me
While the shadows are haunting me
Greg does it for drugs
He get high like he joined the mile high club
Smoking that kush and doing those drugs
A pocket full of snacks and a court full of hoes
A bloodshot wink and off come those clothes
Mescaline
Amphetamines
PCP
Ecstasy
Greg smokes a pipe and rolls his weed
A handful of shrooms is all he needs
With a love for the drugs that won't be done
He got, he got, he got drugs
Greg’s got drugs
Or die trying
Greg does it for drugs
Greg does it for drugs
Mescaline
Amphetamines
PCP
Ecstasy
Greg does it for drugs
For drugs
Greg does it for drugs
For drugs
Greg does it for drugs
Or die trying
Greg does it for drugs
Greg smokes a pipe and rolls his weed
A handful of shrooms is all he needs
With a love for the drugs that won't be done
He got, he got, he got drugs
Leader
So it’s late at night
And we got to go now
We got to go
Because they can see what we’re
What we’re carrying now
What we’re carrying
Raised in a rough life
Childhood full of strife
Living on the edge of a knife
He’d give you those doe eyes
Hold onto you like a pro
Like a Jerry Rice, nice
Holding you tight
It would be all right
Whispering sweet nothings before the fight
When the walls come crumbling down
And it was all hell bound
Down, down down
He would be shredding it
Your heart
When you realize you shouldn't have done it
Screams of fright all throughout the night
Kick, scratch, punch, and bite
Prying those claws was like removing a contract clause
From Santana Moss
And those damn teeth
Damn clamp on your ass
He’s feeling a bit sass because it hurts like that
Because it hurts like that
Hurts like that
Hurts like that
My little mermaid
I’m like the connoisseur of the open ocean
Royal Captain Ahab, I cast my nets
Because I gots the gall to make them all my pets
To the likes to the heights
To the wonders of the Orient
I will spear them all with all five points
Like a starfish, all holey, good golly
Like a fucking blowfish
Like a fucking blowfish
Arms like Orion, dick like Poseidon
I'll spear all of you little fishies with my trident
Under the sea is where I be
Sharing a reef and a blunt with them ladies lovely
With smooth scales and raven hair
Shells on their titties and shoulders bare
Say I'll drown? Like I even care
Drag some dangerous women to my watery lair
Come in to the sea
It is mermaidy
Come in to the sea
It is mermaidy
Come in to the sea
It is mermaidy
Come in to the sea
It is mermaidy
You cant go wrong with pure danger
I'm the captain but I wont even try to save you
These bitches want to hang so they beg and plead
Sorry but you need sea legs, no knees
Tsing down my throat, and now I'm feeling wavy
Capsizing my ladies, no need to call the navy
So all aboard the A-Train ladies
My deck has room for all of y’all
I make that seabed shake, ocean quake
Leaving tsunamis trailing in my wake
Wearing nothing but kelp? I know you mean business
So give me some help, this must be sea sickness
More like ocean fever, because I'm a believer
I'm stacking that tuna like Justin Bieber
I’m going to wreck it for real
Anything in teal
Under the sea
Under the sea
Giggity
Watch out now, she’s a slippery one
Like whoa
Dive in the sea, you will see, my brother
Like whoa
You wanna stick them in a mermaids mouth
Like whoa
When she snaps that tail like a Kraken of a whip
Like whoa
You’ll be sprinting to take a dip
Like whoa
The waves roll above your head
To your downfall they lead
It was then that the heavens part their way
And you feel your soul say
Whoa
Come in to the sea
It is mermaidy
Come in to the sea
It is mermaidy
Come in to the sea
It is mermaidy
Come in to the sea
It is mermaidy
Alright, we’re going to calm it down a little
Introducing, for her pleasure
The fuzziest of fuzzes
The Fuzz of the Sea
The Good Reverend of Love
Mmmmm, yeah Asia
Where the girls will persuade you
To spend those clams like water from a fire hose
Get crazy drunk, end the night with girls, oh ya dos
It’s pretty much the same in the sea
Except all the girls are missing pussy
But don’t you sweat, they got you covered
These Asian mermaids will get you smothered
With their big ol’ boobies all up in your face
Air and water, their breasts will replace
Helping you practice how to asphyxiate
But don’t stay too long, or else you’ll be bait
Come in to the sea
It is mermaidy
Come in to the sea
It is mermaidy
Come in to the sea
It is mermaidy
Come in to the sea
It is mermaidy
My love is like a bass beat
It’s like a herd of wild horses
Going romping in your head
Thunder rolling ever onward
It’s enough to wake the dead
China shaking in the cabinets
Windows rattle in their frames
Pictures falling in the hallway
You swear it’s driving you insane
My love is like a bass beat
My love is like a bass beat
My love is like a bass beat
My love is like a bass beat
It’s been going on since 6AM
And it seems to never cease
Now it’s setting off the car alarms
All the way down the street
Neighbors think that its an earthquake
Or a kid with sub woofers
But you're banging with that broomstick
Because you know it's me upstairs
My love is like a bass beat
My love is like a bass beat
My love is like a bass beat
My love is like a bass beat
My love is like a bass beat
My love is like a bass beat
My love is like a bass beat
My love is like a bass beat
Soundproof your windows
Cover your ears
There's no escaping
What's happening up here
Can't call the landlord
Because you just signed your lease
Back then you wondered
Why the rent was so cheap
My love is like a bass beat
My love is like a bass beat
My love is like a bass beat
My love is like a bass beat
My love is like a bass beat
My love is like a bass beat
My love is like a bass beat
My love is like a bass beat
My love is like a bass beat
My love is like a bass beat
My love is like a bass beat
My love is like a bass beat
My love is like a bass beat
the essence of brett
Brett has a surprise for you
Fun times, oh yes its true
So lately, if you’ve been feeling spent
What you really need is
Well my boy Brett was down with Watergate
So hes paying his debt to the state
So now that you see such a rarity
Brett is donating to charity
But don’t feel bad that Brett has been forced
He would do it even if he weren’t coerced
He treats his job as one big fete
Because what they need is
The essence of Brett
The essence of Brett
The essence of Brett
The essence of Brett
All alone in society
I don’t know, what's wrong with me
All my needs have not been met (What they need is)
What i need is
Young or old, ugly or hot
Brett is sure to hit with his best shot
So if its Christmas or even not
What you need is
What they need is
What they need is
What they need is
What they need is
The essence of Brett
The essence of Brett
The essence of Brett
The essence of Brett
