B-Rad is trying to make it back to the "BU

Brad “B-Rad” Gluckman is Malibu’s most unwanted rapper. He spends his days hangin’ at the Malibrew Coffee Shop with his pimpin’ crew, Mocha, Monster and Hadji, and bustin’ rhymes about his hard-core life up in “the ‘Bu.” Immersed in hip-hop culture, B-Rad spits lyrics about his phat life (“Life’s a beach and then you die / I could tell you stories, make your caterer cry”) – and this beach boy is convinced that his wack rhymes are tighter than Hadji’s cornrows. Like the rappers who inspire him, B-Rad rhymes about the hardships of life as he knows it, from the mad traffic up in the ‘Bu (“Traffic, traffic / Lookin’ for my Chapstick / Feelin’ kinda car sick / There’s a Ford Maverickº”), to the lifestyle struggles of the rich and famous (“Mansions, movie stars and cars / It looks beautiful, it do. / But things go on here, I’d never wish on you…”), and the importance of a flava-flave customized cup of coffee (“The name is B-Rad / Not Robbie Van Winkle / I like my latte nonfat / And don’t forget the sprinkle!”). B-RAD’S ANTHEM: LIVIN’ IN THE ‘BU Hey, yo, this here’s the story from the streets of Malibu. Mansions, movie stars, and cars, It looks beautiful, it do. But things go on here, I’d never wish on you. But that’s how it is when you live in Malibu. Like, life’s a beach and then you die. I could tell you stories, make your caterer cry. I’m the baddest homie, soon y’all gonna know me Just because I’m from Malibu don’t mean I’m phony. Chorus: Livin’ in the ‘Bu, tryin’ hard to survive It’s a struggle sometimes just to stay alive, yo. Livin’ in the ‘Bu, tryin’ hard to make it It’s a struggle sometimes when people think you’re fakin’. Maitre’d be sweating me, what you lookin’ at, punk? That caviar you slanging got some stanky a*s funk. Oh you wanna step? I’ll call my dad, he’ll call his lawyer. I’ll catch you on TV squirtin’ tears to Diane Sawyer. Chorus: Livin’ in the ‘Bu, tryin’ hard to survive It’s a struggle sometimes just to stay alive, yo. Livin’ in the ‘Bu, tryin’ hard to make it It’s a struggle sometimes when people think you’re fakin’. Margaritas, senoritas, and sunsets, too. Damn! Life is kinda hard when you roll on 22’s. It’s gettin’ so bad, I can’t take it no more. The only thing to lean on is my boogie board. Spoken (over chorus): My boogie board, you know what I’m sayin’ That’s the only thing that helps me out. When I’m ridin’ waves, you know what I’m sayin’ Sometimes it protects me from scraping my stomach on the sand.
