Track five on Plague Beats, Vol. 1 (September 21, 2020), one minute, Luke solo. The title is the Birds With Arms meme (photoshopped birds with human arms), here given a full villain origin: wingless envy, a gym montage, then open tyranny with a sword and a stolen gun.
The best line is the coup-speech homophone where the actual bird pun arrives as an afterthought: flex on these weak-ass peasants / no / pheasants. Same lane as Decreasingly Verbose (Ya’ll’d’n’t’ve), an internet image worn as a first-person monologue.
Written, performed, and mixed by Luke Francis Walton.
Lyrics
I wanna soar like my brothers do But instead, I'm cursed with arms I wave goodbye As I read the daily news I hold my umbrella My friend's are getting wetter I show them some attitude I do some curls, and now I'm getting huge Imma be a motherfucking king Of the motherfucking birds Use my motherfucking arms to Flex on these weak-ass peasants No Pheasants Imma hold a motherfucking sword Steal a motherfucking gun Use my motherfucking arms to Consolidate my power And devour I'm a motherfucking king
