H8rs - Original

Lyrics:
They called it web 2.0
It was shorthand for somethin' that I thought I'd never know
Yeah, I was Time Person of the Year
The little mirrors were cute but there was no content here

Like getting' Rick-rolled, dude
I was consuming the old media they fed me through the boob-tube
It was time for taking control
Yeah, it was time for YouTube

Comedians who don't make you laugh
Videos about giraffes who love giraffes
A bug-eyed girl just staring back at you
I couldn't believe the stuff that makes it to a million views

ain't got even one creative bone
But I took a little video when drivin' with my cell phone
I slapped it up on the net,
three weeks later ain't got even ten views yet

[Chorus]
I was ready for the h8rs
The h8rs never came
They didn't hit me with their homophobic insults, no texting their emoticons, no heat in their flames
Mine was one of a million videos
That all were the same
'Yeah, I was ready for the h8rs but the h8rs never came

I lurked around checkin' out the scene, man
Drinkin' in the culture as I pulled it off the micro- screen
Ed was in his bathroom singin'
If I had a million dollars I'd be down with what he's bringin'

Nalts wrote a book with some clues
He said the currency is all about subscriptions and views
Shaved face, external mic, shoot down, key light
Quick cuts, thumbnail, Buck's base, what the hell?

[Bridge]
I can always find someone to tell me that I'm great
Everyone's ready with an easy little white lie
You ain't got nothing if they ain't comin' at you spewing hate...
You know you've made it when they're tryin' to make you cry

[Chorus]
I was ready for the h8rs
The h8rs never came
I had compiled a list of nerdfighting insults, I was at that top of my game
Diluted in the sea of content,
It was really a shame
'Cause I was ready for the h8rs but the h8rs never came

o.k., I had a hard time here. I heard too many other "written songs" throughout yours and the lyrics are based on rhymes from youtube videos and yourube titles? I beg to differ on the creative brilliance here. I know you can be original, so try again. This time don't bore me.

There - h8tr enough for ya'll? Havin fun and being critical is ....FUN! Let's do it again! Seriously, you can at least sing and play. Now just get original - oh snap! there I go h8tr-jecting again! So sorry.

@BlueColdDog Best. Comment. Ever.

You cut me deep, man.

[lythnia]

Honestly, that was wonderful...props. Somehow, though, I do get the feeling you're just not hater-friendly. What can I say? lol I would say that intelligent videos don't get haters, but then I look at people like Hank and John. I hope you live to see your wish fulfilled, a day where haters will flood your videos with homophobic, grammatically incorrect comments. Until that day, DFTBA.

[nothintosee]

Thanks... I guess I just need to keep working on my Shakespearean insults until someone notices me. :p

Some of the crowd I hang with would

consider you very young, very sexy,

could hook you up if you want.

You do like motorized wheelchairs, right???

[nothintosee]

Are you saying I'm not young and sexy?

:o

[CTS1905]

great. if you were young and sexy you'd be famous or at leased flamed.

[nothintosee]

I'd like to claim irony-by-design, but I am not even near that skilled.

I appreciate the feedback. One of these days I'm gonna try to put together a decent recording of this, and I'll see what I can do with the second chorus.

[fienicks]

its a shame to think that maybe this video wont warrant enough views to earn a good flaming. i cant tell if that's intended irony (always a good thing to claim in the absence of success) or if its just a good old fashioned slap in the face courtesy of fate. still, good sir, you carry a good tune, have remarkably clever lyrics and a strong understanding of pop music. this song was a pleasure to listen to. a criticism; perhaps in the second chorus you could sing in a higher key implying a harmony?
