buswizard Posted January 20, 2009 Share #1 Posted January 20, 2009 It took me a while to make this song and a few days to write the words. I hope it's no offense to anyone. I admit it...I'm a bad rapper. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVF8t-oTCMU You can read along if you want The first point that I want to clarify I'll tell you the truth, this is no lie I am the Buswizard, never forget it Or the pants you're wearing, I'll make you wet it By telling you if you forget who I am, son You will get run over by 7101 So keep it in your brain, on the bus or the train, or when you're riding the XH down Washington Lane This song is for the listening pleasure of those who wants to learn about SEPTA's bus depots Who is fond of mass transit and thinks it's the best to take a joyride from east to west For those who don't think it's suicide To look to Frontier for a Sunday ride Have fun listening to this jammin' song I tend to make mistakes, correct me if I'm wrong. If you like riding 60-footers, then this is for you They're my favorites, that sure is true The Neoplan Artics that run in our streets Can give unforgettable rides that can't be beat This depot used to handle nothin' but artics but they threw in 40-footers to make a nice mix To serve you anytime whether sunny or rainy Welcome to the territory run by Allegheny When the Nweflyers came in I was stunned They stole the 27 and 65's runs I admit the 27 runs better with the mix But I always get stalked by 5806 It finds me on the 6, 33 or 54 It stalks me o much I just wanna declare war But if I want to ride artics, then the 60 is my bet I still never rode a 40-footer on it yet. To keep movin' on, I'm movin' to the west To a place where you're buried up to your chest By a batch of new hybrids that came in '08 When I saw them roam about, I just couldn't wait I love to ride hybrids, even if they're slow They smell good inside, pollution is low Take a ride with me if you will To a place where buses run from Callowhill In the northeast there's another place Where hybrids dominate the city's face Where the Neo Artic #7101 Can be found serving Route 14's runs From a place called Comly there are some routes that take you to a place where you can buy fancy boots Franklin Mills Mall, Neshaminy Mall or Oxford Valley Mall, I'm sure they got it all If you want to take a trolley that has no tracks Then Frankford will treat you to the max With restyled ETBs that give a smooth ride With a style that makes you ride with pride "Welcome to Route 66 service to City Line" Enter a world of NABIs and New Flyers Nothing here runs with batteries or wires Route 18 is a mix of bricks and artics Should Newflyers run, the operator picks Finding a bus from Midvale is hard 'Cause midvale is SEPTA's biggest yard If you want to go and find 5251 You'll have to search till the setting of the sun If a bus stalks you then it'll be easy to find It follows you around and plays with your mind Take control, don't let it outrace ya, If you go to Norristown ,it probably won't chase ya they took away the trolleys, there are a few bricks No matter what I say they never get artics the bright side is, this place runs well With New flyers fitted with Cummins ISL Southern hybrids run here and there A dull ride thru town is usually rare Too bad we lost a faithful bus to a fire One of the 8000-series New Flyers Claim the victory, go further west Take a suburban SEPTA quest Whether you ride the 104 on a green machine or your best friend lives near the 119 Red Arrow is the the place to ride for fun On the Norristown line or the 101 Or the little ElDorados on the 103 Come feel free to ride with me For those who like a north suburban ride To go on Sunday would be pure suicide Some routes take a Sunday rest here Welcome to the sparing service of Frontier You Got routes running up and down West Chester, Trenton, Lansdale, Pottstoen You Got a wonderful ride every day Unless you ride a bumpy cutaway With routes that run less than once an hour Wait with me if you got the power Skeletons have been found lying on the road from passengers who couldn't take the load Sike naw I'm just kidding it's all good Unless Chesterbrook bears eat them up for food Life is short you better live it up Ride in Frontier when your nerve kicks up FrFrFrfrfrontier frfrfrfFrontier.....

buswizard Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share #7 Posted January 22, 2009 Me too!!!! I rode it for the first time 2 weeks ago and I am terribly fond of it. I think that's my most favorite high speed line in SEPTA's entire system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buswizard Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share #8 Posted March 18, 2009 Now here's part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XewSafG1q8c I like bus butts and I cannot lie You SEPTA freaks can't deny When you're at the bus stop with a camera on your waist and an engine in your face I get snappin' That's right I'll make it happen That's why I'm rappin' You think this song is corny, Well you're full of baloney You can't go out romancin' with 7101 when it's dancin' Roll, stroll, till you hit a powerline pole Hey drivers, drivers, does your bus have an engine? I'm wishin' I'm wishin you'd also start the transmission SEPTA got jack n-n-neo artics with a diesel engine I like them square and tall And at the mall, I just can't help myself Im runnin and yellin' out loud WAIT FOR ME!! I run till my feet get blisters For a bus at Chew and Wister By myself or with my sister Even in a blizzard or a twister The engines run really well With Cummins ISL And tthe hybrids got good smell So far they're clean as a bell I might not drive a Honda Or even a Neoplan anaconda All I know is that their engines ain't shabby Like those old NABIs SEPTA got jack ffffrffroorfffffrrrontier fffrrontier......

buswizard Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share #13 Posted March 23, 2009 Well, I'd wish there is some pop/rock version... I'll try to develop one but it'll take some monthes, ... Anyway, you still did a good job... Even though I don't like rap (no offense), ... Well I don't really like rap either....until I heard old school 80s music. Making rap is more fun to me than listening to it, sometimes. The SEPTA song 3 will be coming soon, hopefully, but I haven't really developed it yet. I don't sing, so don't expect any vocal songs or such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buswizard Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share #16 Posted March 24, 2009 All right y'all Here goes the #3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-fP8Dt-zcs Now this is the story all about why My hatred for crowds grew up to the sky I'll take a few minutes, just listen here About why I hate bus crowds from Comly to Frontier In North Philadelphia I run and race For a bus that takes you place to place Just sittin' still, just waitin' and hatin' on a bus that sits there procrastinatin' When the bubs in the back are always up to no good I say no they wouldn't but yes they would I hate crowded buses where the drivers shout "Move to the back of the bus; we need to clear some space out" I lost my cool and wanted to shout "Good Lord, If you have a problem, just let us unboard" But that would ruin the schedules of this humble colony As they try to survive to Broad & Olney When the artics showed up, the burden was light Route 18 was running with no cares in sight But when the shabby NABIs run, it is once again More chaotic than a crashed jet plane! With the use of artics, service has improved, but due to demand, some of them moved Thirty are at Comly, now that's plenty, but PLEEZE put some of them on route 20 C'mon, Route 20 needs 'em bad, The crowded Ikaruses really make me mad If anything, artics on the 20 is rare, But all for the 14? THAT'S NOT FAIR!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buswizard Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share #18 Posted April 17, 2009 Part 4 is complete http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_ukHtgBryg WARNING!!!! I cannot sing!! But hopefully you won't get a migraine by listening to this song. This song is a brief overview of my joyride to Norristown back in 2008 It takes you to make a bus run right It takes you to send it out of sight. It takes you to make a bus run right (I really cannot sing but) It takes you to send it out of sight. I wanna ride right now I'm Buswizard, I came to get down I'm not internationally known And I don't need a microphone Cause I'll get Stupid I mean outrageous Bus-fanning is somewhat contagious Ya know I'm a winner, I'm never a loser Riding artics is what I choose-a PTV loves me, Youtube adores me I mean even the ones who never saw me like...The way I rap 'bout a bus I don't yell and I don't cuss so don't fuss 'cause It takes you to make a bus run right It takes you to send it out of sight. (I cannot sing but I really suck now but) It takes you to make a bus run right. (it's really gettin kinds creepy) It takes you to send it out of sight. The situation that Buswizard's in: Just thought I should try something different School let out early so I went and tried Route 100 Norristown High-Speed Ride So I went to 69th Street Terminal And I rode all the way to Norristown Terminal The N5 ride was a lot of fun From the beginning till the route was done. Then I got off the weird-looking high speed line And I looked for the station exit sign I made up my mind as to what route to take A cutaway ride would be a piece of cake So I sat and I waited and I waited and I waited and all of a sudden me cellphone vibrated vmmmm....vmmmm It takes you to make a bus run right vmmmm....vmmmm It takes you to send it out of sight. vmmmm....vmmmm It takes you to make a bus run right vmmmm....(Stop vibrating you little cellphone) It takes you to send it out of sight. Mom called me. She wondered where I was She wondered why it took so long to catch the bus I hesitated and said with a frown "Mom, it's me, I'm in Norristown" She reacted as though she had seen a ghost But I was the one who was scared the most I thought I was gonna die But that thought turned out to be a lie. Instead of panicking and fearing the worst she said "Don't ever go that far without calling me first". So I caught the next 90 and I headed home Promising myself I wouldn't go that far to roam cause... It takes mom to make a bad boy cry It takes dad to make a bad boy die It takes mom to make a bad boy cry It takes dad to make a bad boy die I rode a cutaway for the very first time I thought it would be smooth and oh so sublime But that was a mistake, It was more than I could take It felt like a 10.5 earthquake It rattled like a tin can full of beans It shook more than any bus I'd ever seen. At every speed bump it would shake and quake When I got off the bus, I had a booty ache At Plymouth Meeting Mall, I ran to catch the L the NABI I was on had a musky old amell I'm glad I Got a seat 'cause the bus crowded quick I really really wish route L still had Neo artics. I wish at least Midvale had a Newflyer to send But my epic joyride has been brought to an end I made it home and I had a good day, But for goodness' sake avoid the cutaways!! It takes you to make a bus run right It takes you to send it out of sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
