We Are Legend
Music
Release Date: 10/10/2008
JJAHBG’s ambitious, sprawling sophomore album We are Legend serves as a radical sonic departure from their 2007 debut The Big Easy. The bluesy leanings from The Big Easy are for the most part eschewed in favor of a cornucopia of new influences: folk, electronica, punk, hip-hop and metal are but a few of the genres touched on across the 14 tracks that make up We are Legend. Throughout its length, We are Legend is a roller coaster journey through a variety of musical styles, pioneering JJAHBG’s signature sound that would surface in most of the band’s future works.

This Old K
Damn K, you used to be fun
What happened?
I’m not what I used to be
What does that mean?
This old K, she ain't what she used to be
Ain't what she used to be
Ain't what she used to be
This old K, she ain't what she used to be
She ain't what she used to be
Well I know this girl, she goes by the name of K
She always used to romp, and she always used to play
But now all she does is poop her pants and sleep
She wont even laugh a peep
This old K, she ain't what she used to be
Ain't what she used to be
Ain't what she used to be
This old K, she ain't what she used to be
She ain't what she used to be
If you try to wake her up, she'll growl right in your face
When shes eating food she makes a mess all of the place
And don’t even ask where is the strawberry jam
It’s all in the carpet, oh damn
This old K, she ain't what she used to be
Ain't what she used to be
Ain't what she used to be
This old K, she ain't what she used to be
She ain't what she used to be (Early in the morning)
She used to be fit and she used to be in shape
She used to do a flip over Severus the Snape
but now the only thing…fuck
This old K, she ain't what she used to be
Ain't what she used to be
Ain't what she used to be
This old K, she ain't what she used to be
When she’s singing with Shane
She used to be fit and she used to be in shape
She used to do a flip over Severus the Snape
But now the only thing she flips is a burger on the grill
And even that shes likely to spill
This old K, she ain't what she used to be
Ain't what she used to be
Ain't what she used to be
This old K, she ain't what she used to be
She ain’t what she used to be (I’m the prettiest princess in the world)

Show yourself on the path
Check the time and do the math
Chances are, you there to stay
You'll be seeing the V today

The Humanoid Typhoon
I feel a breeze
The storm is coming soon
Can you smell the air?
It smells like doom
Come on blue eyes, let me see you smile
If I’m gonna die, make it worth my while
I said come on blue eyes, let me see you smile
If I’m gonna die, make it worth my while
You see I know a lad maybe 3 feet tall
With elemental fury at his beck and call
Hits like a 'cane, kicks like a monsoon
This deadly scamp is a humanoid typhoon
He is the beast such as none have faced
He'll take your armies
Lay them to waste
Come on blue eyes, let me see you smile
If I’m gonna die, make it worth my while
I said come on blue eyes, let me see you smile
If I’m gonna die, make it worth my while
You see I know a lad maybe 3 feet tall
With elemental fury at his beck and call
Hits like a 'cane, kicks like a monsoon
This deadly scamp is a humanoid typhoon
A city in ruins and thousands gone
I salute you sir for a job well done
Ballad of the Snow Leopard
I see you, but you cant see me
I hear you, but you cant hear me
I smell you, but you cant smell me
I taste you, and you taste fear
I spend my days lounging in a tree looking for the perfect meal for me
Spot a man in an orange coat, gut is as big as a boat
He’s got his dogs, smelly beasts
They don’t appetize me in the least
Got a gun, so he thinks hes tough
Sorry buddy, sometimes life is rough
Carefully i creep through the brush
Claws extend, ready to rush
Eyes on target, now I'm ready
Muscles tense, gaze is steady
I rip and tear and scratch and claw
I shove entrails into my maw
Now you realize, now you see
There is no escape from me
I see you, but you cant see me
I hear you, but you cant hear me
I smell you, but you cant smell me
I taste you, and you taste fear
My fellow citizens, I warn you of a threat
Of greater importance than government debt
A snow leopard, a giant kitty is roaming our good state of Tennessee
This creature is a menace, it threatens our lives
Our families, pets, children and wives
Who was it that killed the Parsons' dog?
Devoured it whole in the fog
Or ripped through a whole flock of geese
That wandered onto Smith's property lease
Well I'm your man, adjourn the court
I'd kill that cat just for the sport
I rip and tear and scratch and claw
I shove entrails into my maw
Now you realize, now you see
There is no escape from me
I see you, but you cant see me
I hear you, but you cant hear me
I smell you, but you cant smell me
I taste you, and you taste fear
Shift my weight from ounce to ounce
Take careful aim, and then I pounce
Too late he sees, fires in the air
I’ve got a mouthful of his hair
One dog yelps, and runs away
The other growls, decides to stay
He leaps for my throat; sorry smelly
My claws find soft underbelly
Got fatty's neck, a delightful crunch
And he collapses in a bunch
What a kill, and what a feast
I get to chow on man and beast
I rip and tear and scratch and claw
I shove entrails into my maw
Now you realize, now you see
There is no escape from me
I see you, but you cant see me
I hear you, but you cant hear me
I smell you, but you cant smell me
I taste you, and you taste fear
3-9 Mafia Theme Song
Well, we wake up in the morning and we’re ready to ride
If we even went to sleep last night
Spend our days punking skaters, bladers too
They wish they had the grapes to roll with this crew
We're the roughest, toughest, shootenest group
We're so gangsta we call superman soup
We’re the 3-9 mafia and we won’t be lead
You try to bump with us get a razor to the head
When its skull vs concrete we just gotta be fair
Besides, all helmets do is mess up our hair
I gotta be honest, I’d rather be dead
Then walk around like a fool with helmet head
Hey sissy boy, leave the pads at home
Unless you want us to give you a crack to the dome
Yeah, tony hawk wears them, so what?
After 20 video games his street cred is shot
I don’t give a damn about his 1080 shit
I could bust one out without breaking a sweat
Less wheels you have, the more gangster you are
And all real men use handlebars
You know what this song needs?
What?
More cowbell
Break it down
Yeah, chicks dig my ride, there ain’t no maybe
Same stuff they make jets with baby
I can hit Mach 10 going down a hill
Any blader getting close, they're taking a spill
Ain't no one can match my 180 stall
I seen you try, and I seen you fall
Only real OGs in the razor hall
Among them Chuck Norris and Steven Seagal
So you'd better think twice before giving her a peck
Pick the wrong girl and we're breaking you're neck
Cruise the wrong streets and you're gonna get hurt
We'll pimp slap you like Ernie slaps Bert
So if the rules don’t apply to you
Then roll with us, come join our crew
Scooters not to your taste, and you like to play fair
Then sorry son, but we don't take squares
Don’t hate on our game or tell us where you stuck it
Just remember son, bitches love me because I rock
Pre-Nump
Oh Zelda, you know that I love you
But there’s just one little thing that you should know
You can't have my money
You can't have my money
Oh baby, I’m sorry
Oh Zelda, you know that I love you
But there’s one little thing that I think you should know
Know, know know
You can’t have my money
You can’t have my money
Oh baby, no no no money for you
None
Oh Zelda, you know that I love you
But there’s just one little thing that I think you should know
Know, know know
You can’t have my money
You can’t have my money
Oh baby
You can have any part of me
You can be one of the family
You can even have your way with me
But no, no, no, no you can't have my money
You can’t have my money
Oh baby, no no I’m sorry
Oh Zelda, you know that I love you
But there’s just one little thing that I think you should know
Know, know, know
You can’t have my money
No, you can’t have my money
No, no I’m sorry (You can’t have my money)
But Zelda, no (You can’t have my money)
No, no, no money
Oh Zelda
Ode Le Snow Leopard
I gave up my days running free out in the park
Chasing geese, killing dogs, and leaving my mark
I started to read all these signs that said
"Wanted dead or alive! Bring us his head!”
I know what your thinking and I will concede
Of course snow leopards know how to read
It was time to start thinking how I would survive
Couldn't spend forever running to hide
As a snow leopard I’d rather die
No no I had a much better plan
I know a way to stick it to the man
My fellow citizens gather in close
A few hunters here have something to boast
With a fury of claws at the end of this leash
We have caught and tamed the beast!
Although it seemed too easy, too good to be true
We can rest assured that this ordeal is through
Now my brothers I will tell you what we do
We take this cat straight to the zoo
Three squares a day and a room all my own
Every once in awhile they throw me a bone
A kid falls in my den, into a danger unknown
The whole ordeal is way overblown
All the people frantically rush in to see
What that kid will do to me
But with no claws or horns or big teeth
They are the best of succulent treats
After three or four of those heavenly sweets
At the town the people all meet
They all whine that I'm too aggressive and
That all my violence way too excessive and
The governor yells, "The answer is sedation"
The crowd goes quiet, "Followed by castration"
All the eyes in the room fall on Lizbath
All too soon I’d fall to her wrath
With dull rusty scissors she calls, "Here, kitty kitty"
The last I hear her say is, "There is no escape from me"
The governor yells, "The answer is sedation"
The crowd goes quiet, "Followed by castration"
All the eyes in the room fall on Lizbath
All too soon I’d fall to her wrath
With dull rusty scissors she calls, "Here, kitty kitty"
The last I hear her say is, "There is no escape from me"

Razzberry Feelin'
Well, I’m so hardcore I drink tap water
Straight from the faucet, straight to my larder
Heat up the water, heat it up hotter
Mix in the herb so that I can go farther
Not weed, not sal, not nicotine
Green tea is the only herb I need
It’s green - just like the color of the cash money
That I like to wave in your face, my honey
Take my cash and my stash down to REI
Got to buy the new kicks so that I can look fly
While I'm there, if I care, I'll buy a new bike
Well I gotta do something other than hike
With the bike comes the shirt and the biker shorts
Well, I gotta represent for the king of all sports
I belong on Discovery Channel
With Lance Armstrong and a bunch of flannel
Nothing quite right like being outdoors
When its sun, when its fun, when it rains it pours
When it pours then I just put on my slicker
Gotta keep moving, it’s good for my ticker
Tick tick tick tick - that says my heart
And when I get it kicking that’s a good start
And the food that I eat all helps to play a part
Because my main goal is a happy healthy heart
I'm a bit obsessed with proper nutrition
I read "Healthy Cooking - Vegetable Edition"
Keep your Mickey D's and your eggs benediction
And don't come crawling back without proper contrition
But feel free to bring me a tofu dog
Hold the cheese if you please because it could clog
An artery, and that could make me
A very unhappy camper indeed
That’s when I start slapping overweight hoes
And watch the shock travel down their jelly rolls
Yes, rolls
Roll bitch roll
Yes, rolls
Roll bitch roll
Yes, rolls
Roll bitch roll
Yes, rolls
Yes, rolls
Yes, rolls
Yes, rolls
She Gets More Hot
I had a long day at work
People can be so dumb
I know how to handle this
I got a shotgun
Now I'm off of work
I head down to the bar
Pull into my space
Get out of the car
I saw a young girl
She looked good from afar
Walked up and I said
Thank God for the bar
She offered me a drink
Whiskey was her shot
Every fucking shot I took
That chick got more hot
She gets more hot
With every shot I take
She gets more hot
Jack Daniels is my friend
She gets more hot
I’m fucking wasted
She gets more hot
With every shot I take
Shine
Cruising through the park
She’s going for a walk
Everywhere she goes guys just stand and balk
Don’t know how she can squeeze into those jeans
Shes the kind of girl populating dreams
Yeah, you know shes got it going on
Oh yes, its true
She really shines
Oh, its true
Yeah I must admit its been a while since
I gone and made that leap and hopped a cute girls fence
I know shes the one
I gotta make a try
Been feeling that ache
It makes me want to die
Yeah, I know shes got it going on
It makes me blue
I wanna shine all over you
I stop and say hello, she stands there kinda shocked
Because it is the first time a guy has ever talked
She really doesn’t know that she is super hot
So I just play it cool and pretend shes not
But, I know shes got it going on
Oh yes, its true
I'm gonna shine and soon
Just my kinda girl, I know its kinda mean
But she’s a perfect 10 and got no self-esteem
She thinks I'm super great, so eager to please
I'm getting softer rugs, its better for her knees
She don’t know shes got it going on but I do
I really shined
All over you
With These Hands
Will I drown in this river called life
Or swim to the surface and fight for what is mine
Oh,the answers are there
How I’ve read them time after time
Will this road lead me to that place
That I learned as a child and fully embraced
But as age would deceive me
I felt myself falling from grace
With these hands folded together
I'll never stand on my own
Through wars and oppression, my love and obsessions
I'll never be alone
Will this love hold me close at night
Or fall to temptation like hail that falls from the sky
Oh, the pain from a faithless one
Will tear a man deep down inside
With these hands folded together
I'll never stand on my own
You ask and receive
You seek and you'll find your way home
This is what I believe
With these hands folded together
I'll never stand on my own
You ask and receive
You seek and you'll find your way home
This is what I believe
The Battle of Funktown
Funk town, rocking free
Yeah, funk town, rocking free
Yeah, funk town, rocking free
Yeah, funk town, the place to be
Here's a little story about a funky town
Yeah, from a blues man who’s been around
Funktown wasn’t always rocking free
It was once part of a square country
Curfew enforced, in bed by 10
All sexy girls have to wear clothing
No beer no whiskey and no wine
That’s where Funkytown drew the line
They drew the line, right in the dust
And much to the outsiders sheer disgust
Covered in booze, lined up with chicks
Funkytown men all whipped out their dicks
They came with tanks, weapons of war
Funkytown won and said bring on some more
They dropped the bomb, right in the mud
Good thing for Funkytown it was a dud
Through the shots and through the gore
Funkytown keeps dishing more
Well, hear the cry, hear the creed
Funkytown must be freed
So bring your trucks and bring your jets
Old Funkytown is the safer bet
Hear the cry, hear the creed
Funkytown must be freed!
Funk town, rocking free
Yeah, funk town, rocking free
Yeah, funk town, rocking free
Yeah, funk town, the place to be
Big Easy’s game, bitch
Alright let’s break it down before I take you down a peg or two
These are the tales
The funky tales
The tales I tell so well
Pass that blunt
Dave? Dave Chapelle?
I should know because I be playing all day
Whether I’m on the court draining threes
Or we’re in your room, with you on your knees
These are the tales
The funky tales
The tales I tell so well
Motherfucker that’s right
Big Easy in the house, bitch
I said motherfucker to the motherfucker in the back of the room
(unintelligible)
Motherfucker that’s a technicality
Yeah, I know big words too, alright?
The name is Big Easy I’m here to stay
I make it rain
I’m in your mind
I’m in your brain
Slapping hoes and drinking Hennessy
The name is Big Easy I’m here to stay
Funk town, rocking free
Yeah, funk town, rocking free
Yeah, funk town, rocking free
Yeah, funk town, the place to be
They called in allies, neutral countries
But they all said, "Too funky for me"
So they sent in their Secretary of State
Armed with the power to negotiate
He offered them a steep concession or three
Funkytown said, "We must be free"
Last ditch he offered them autonomy
Funkytown said, "We must be free"
Through the shots and through the gore
Funkytown keeps dishing more
Well, hear the cry, hear the creed
Funkytown must be freed
So bring your trucks and bring your jets
Old Funkytown is the safer bet
Hear the cry, hear the creed
Funkytown must be freed!
Roxymusic
Chilling in Sasi’s house when I think I see a mouse
Oh wait, its just a dog ain’t no larger than a pog
Well, is she dog or is she rat?
I could feed her to a cat
She’ll get the cheese without fail
Even got a rat tail
Roxymusic is her name
High pitched barking is her game
Roxymusic is her name
High pitched barking is her game
Gopher snake, stay away
Barnyard owl is her bane
Leave her in the chicken coop and next day shes chicken poop
Well, is she dog or is she rat?
I could feed her to a cat
She’ll get the cheese without fail
Even got a rat tail
Roxymusic is her name
High pitched barking is her game
Roxymusic - that’s her name
And you know, I hear she rolls the high pitched barking
Fits with ease in mouse hole
Or at the bottom of your bowl
Rodent is as rodent does
Guinea pig is her cousin
Well, is she dog or is she rat?
I could feed her to a cat
She’ll get the cheese without fail
Even got a rat tail
Roxymusic is her name
High pitched barking is her game
Roxymusic, that’s her name
High pitched barking, that’s her game
