6. Ancient History (Sunset) feat. J​-​Toth and D Payne

by Tucker Booth and Helias

  • Streaming + Download

    Conceived in 2005 these beats by Helias (aka Michael Schaefermeyer, R.I.P.) were supposed to be the original backdrop for 'Ex Boyfriend' an album not-so-loosely based on our recent break ups with our respective squeezes. Later, after a string of cop outs and near miss recording sessions I drunk dialed him one night and gave him a piece of my mind for 'hijacking my album.' Helias then proceeded to pull the plug on our project, give the beats away to my competitors, and declare Ex Boyfriend dead.

    About a month later Helias had a major computer meltdown and managed to lose all the wav files to the songs he had given away. He then went and ate the requisite amount of humble pie that accompanies telling everyone that the beats they had been given were unusable because there were no files to master them with.

    In the interim 932 producer/dj Splitface and I made the Ex Boyfriend album with beats Split made as an ode to the lost project. They can be listened to and purchased at www.tuckerbooth.bandcamp.com

    The Boyfriend beats were officially declared dead in 2006 and remained so until 2009 when J-Toth uncovered a long forgotten spool of wav file cds that included an early burn of what were now being called 'The Ex Files.' Much rejoicing ensued from St. Louis to Redondo Beach.

    In essence this is the sequel to Ex Boyfriend featuring the beats which originally inspired the album. Hence the sequel is the prequel.

    Sadly Helias passed away last May at age 31. ExFiles is made to honor Helias and the original Ex Boyfriend project we never got make long ago.

about

Inspired by the Doc's love of vinyl and the late, great Sam Kinison, this song is the love song no one wants to be written.

lyrics

J-Toth:
She's gone...away...
gone, with my mixtapes...
gone, with my big breaks.
Anyway, it'll all be okay...
anyway, I've got her Sade...


TDB:
I want my records back, you can't keep them,
Anyways you said you'd give them back labor day weekend,
So what's the hold up?
You treat me like chopped liver and I hate cold cuts!
If you don't hurry up and give them back
I guarantee I'll go nuts!
Beat myself up over copies of old stuff
I haven't heard since before you and I broke up!
Give me my CDs, Bitch!
Leave em outside by the mailbox...
My Bee Gees, My Stevie, DC Talk, Woodstock,
Kid Rock and Tupac...
I could give a shit if you keep my socks but
I'll throw a fit if you try to sneak off with Speakerbox!
This madness has to stop before somebody gets jerked...
Humor me...
My 45s are all that's keeping me from going bezerk!

D Payne: Oooohhhh What's the big deal?
Those albums can't feel...
They're not real...(bitch!)

TDB: Yeah? Well keep it real then!
I sure as hell ain't feeling you Boo
At least I can feel them!
And that's the way it has to be...
Go and gank my Master P and I smash your Creed!
Why do you want them anyway?
You're always trashing me while
Sneaking my Jay-Z CD out in your DVD
Why don't you just join BMG?
The first 11 are a penny and the 12th ones free...
Now where's my Nelly, Young Jeezey, and
Soundbombing 3?
I want my records back, Honey...
Or their retail value in cash money...
And tell your Playboy Bunny friends
I don't care if that's crummy!
Your new man must surely have some mixtapes
of his own...
So fork mine back over and then please leave me alone!

(i'm not here)

Can't eat, can't sleep and when I do I dream about you...
I want to freak out...but it's not worth it without you...
Together Babe we got to see the good, the bad, the ugly,
and I loved every hellish minute
until you'd no longer fuck me...
I used to think that I was lucky...
Now I'm not...
I've got tears in my beer and a bag of bammer pot...
Both make me depressed...
All dried up inside...
On nights like this I wish this was the day the music died!
And that my death was broadcast live
like Presidential Assassinations with
talk of wasted potential...
Without you life isn't the same...
Like living in L.A. and making minimum wage...
It's not impossible...but damn close to it!
Tonight I'm like, Fuck It!
Time to make some overdose music...
I put you on a pedestal, gave you a hundred dollar bill,
Turned a blind eye when you got ill cuz
Ya got me high like Cypress Hill...
And I won't wait for you to care...
I'll just walk my path until I get there...
And I won't wait for you to share...
I'll give the Love I can spare...
But it don't mean a damn thing!
All these ladies ever want is the damn ring...
Damn kids, damn house and damn swings...
And damn lovers man...damn flings!
But you know I can't get enough....
The sex gets me more blown than the dro I puff
Drive by your house and now he's showing up...
My friends say they see you out on the town in his truck
'Jealous Much, Bra?' No Duh! I plan to beat him up...
(beat him up, beat him up...)
