Gorillaz feat. ScHoolboy Q: Pac-Man – újabb klipdal Damon Albarn idei Song Machine sorozatában
A tavalyi Blur-, Africa Express- és The Good, The Bad & The Queen-koncertjei után Damon Albarn idén a Gorillazzal ad ki felvételeket a Song Machine kollaborációs klipdalsorozat részeként: a januári Momentary Blissben Slowthai és a Slaves duó, a februári Désolében Fatoumata Diawara, az áprilisi Ariesben az ex-Joy Division/New Order-basszusgitáros Peter Hook és Georgia, míg a júniusi Friday The 13th-ben a francia-brit rapper Octavian volt a vendégszereplő – most a legfrissebb júliusi számban pedig a kaliforniai ScHoolboy Q reppel.

A címével az idén 40 éves jubileumát ünneplő Pac-Man játék előtt tisztelgő dal még januárban készült ScHoolboy Q (született: Quincy Matthew Hanley, 1986) és a legendás amerikai hiphop DJ-producer Prince Paul (Paul Edward Huston, 1967) közreműködésével. A Gorillaz-ritmusfelelős Remi Kabaka Jr. ezúttal is társszerző volt Damon Albarn mellett, és ez a szám is Jamie Hewlett videójával kapott premiert.
Alrighty
Let’s go
You can freak me out, you can throw me in the lion pit
You can borrow my hands and tell me I’m not here
I’m a mad Pac-Man, livin’ in a leveled world
Everywhere I go I don’t know where I am
You can call me cracked, you can call me mad and stifled
You can hold my hand, sail me into bathing light
Everybody knows, when I was sad, I fell for you
Everywhere I go, I’m stressin’ out, I’m stressin’ out
I’m stressin’ out, I’m stressin’ out, stressin’ out
You can hide your head, you can throw me in the lion pit
You can borrow my days and tell me I’m not blue
Everybody knows, when I was sad, I fell for you
Everywhere I go, I don’t know where I am
I’m stressin’ out, I’m stressin’ out
I’m stressin’ out, I’m stressin’ out
Uh, how can I trust truth?
Uh, when I ain’t got nothin’ to sell
I shattered my thoughts to get out my shell
Uh, why would I hold my tongue to tuck in my nails?
Ayy, can’t dream if my ego is broke
The jokes that try to find the answer to nope (Uh)
My type of drive, you can’t buy this shit
You got a heart but it don’t beat like this
I had a spark, then my mind went trip
Create the wave so the vibe all mix
I’m a mad Pac-Man
Livin’ in a leveled world
Yo, I been at the top of the top
Fell from the ceiling before I fail
‘Cause I needed to grow, Bruce Lee, royal with the glow
Uh, walked on the edge, fuck tryna dream in the bed
‘Fore I die on these meds, niggas gon’ die on the feds
‘Fore I make it to jail, prolly put one in the head
Fuck the judge and the prosecutor for hangin’ me dead
Plus thirty and still movin’, I’m close to the left, right?
Close to the left, right?
All the trauma from past never taught me to fear heights
Normal to fly now, can’t be stuck in the red lights
Take flight, the life gon’ bloom for the Black Knight
Keep a piece, no Buddhist, got the whole boomin’
I’m like a Crip how I stewed it, you on your ass, stuck, stupid
You makin’ we look bad, I rock the beat, won’t crash
I had to fill my bag, I had to hide my stash
You know the cops’ lights flash, I had to clear my dash
I represent my flag, I gave the hood my last
Every full-grown limit, I had to change my image
The brain don’t got limits, you think a mill’ mean winnin’
Pigs out here skinnin’, your soul ain’t authentic
You died and still ain’t livin’
