I wrote this in March right at the start of quarantine. I wanted to write more, and I thought of Beverly Cleary. I had some beats Iowa Rockwell had sent me... So I wrote about it

lyrics

I’m starting now hi
Can you hear me?
Is the mic leveled right
Do you Hear me clearly?
Right everyday I’m tryin to be
Beverly Cleary
Run around hands up
Ramona Quimby

I travel round the world
Meet lotsa people like I’m Ribsy
Ridden on a city bus
In every major city
Steppin off the megabus
They golfing with a frisbee
Upgrade on the airplane
Got them suckers like who is he

Video Dizzy
Doin it for the kiddies
How he got some family that kick it in every city
How you didn’t know you was sleepin it’s such a pity
My receptions really shitty
hang up and I will call you back

Frugal like a value pack
Skip a meal Scooby snacks
Take a hot shower for an hour
Find a laundromat
Outta anytime minutes
Boy you better read a map
Rep Chicago global
Iconic bullshit starter jack

And Jill went up a hill
And planted beans in the ground
And then a spider went up
And then a giant came down
And then I jumped over the moon
But I didn’t make a sound
Boom goes the dynamite
Play by play break it down

Threw my hands above my head
And yelled how you like me now
Kerri Strug tension people
Like how can he even land this
Still Up in the air
Makin legitimate demands it’s
Video Dave, Byron Allen, and Ed O’Bannon
Back in 97 my legs was made out of cannons
I was like a mix of Vince carter and a fat kid
Take it down a notch
Cross my fingers and raise my hand, shit
I made a crater
In the surface of the earth when I landed

I’m finished now bye
Did you hear me?
Play it back now
Make sure you heard me clearly
Write everyday I’m tryin to be
Beverly Cleary
Run around hands up
Ramona Quimby

Hello Hello
Can you hear me
I can’t hear you
Can you hear me
Hello
Can you hear me
Hello

Hello Hello
Can you hear me
I can’t hear you
Can you hear me
Hello
Can you hear me
Hello
