Geppetto V4 Subversive
My Free Mickey
The sunlight filtered through the windows of the cathedral, Admiral Bob’s angelic organ improvisation filling the air with beauty and the power of God. Suddenly, the door burst open and two Italian men in pin striped suits entered.
The man with the baby face smiled and say “Say Mac, that’s some nice organ playing you got there, real God like.”
The heavily scarred man with one eye cracked his knuckles “Be a shame if someone ran some plugins all over it!”

PURE HUMAN WORK.
Instrumental included, it’s beautiful and relaxing in that distorted hip hop way. Have a listen as well to the vocal mix.
Uses two previously unused CCMixter samples. “Subversive” is a reference to “Subvert” the new artist owned distribution platform, I’ll talk about this in the forum in a bit.
—————-
Geppetto is a very harsh, anti-American song. I knew I was going to re-write it before I started sourcing samples, but I feel so much in love with the organ piece from Bob I made sure to include Canada in the lyrics.
The original song was published to CCMixter along an AI beat, which may have caused some people to ignore it.

Rediscovering glorious tones
Do you ever play classic records and think “That. Sounds. GREAT! How do I get that 60s (or 70/80/90s) vibe in my track?” With Finisher RETRO, it’s easy. Our experts have done the hard work and captured the classic reverbs, delays, flangers, tubes, tape hiss and magic for you. Just load RETRO and go!
This is what I used on Bob, I have three instances of his organ playing, laying 2 of 3 of these effects over one another. I used:
1960 - Tube Colors - Made the organ “evil” deep, bassy and grind hard
1970 - Wah Wah Collector - Made the organ sound like a synth trying and failing to imitate an organ
1990 - Freezer - Makes the organ super light, like you’re listening to 90s House music. No bass.
I used 1960 + 1970 when I was rapping for depth
And 1970 + 1990 to shift the notes higher during the bridge.
I kept Bob’s intro and outro of the organ the same, but rearranged the guts entirely to create tension and emotion.

Puns / Line explanations
Quote: “Push the overton window, but it’s not contrarian
Controlled opposition opponents get buried when”
These are the Democrats, controlled opposition that push the Overton window towards the acceptance of Republican fascism.
Quote: “Infamous arms dealers unholy double sided”
This is a reference to both American and Israel, both currently threatening Europe through the US and Putin.
Quote: “Devouring souls like Attack On Titan”
“Attack On Titan” is a Japanese story about brainless giants that eat humans en masse. They lack digestive systems, so there’s no reason for them to eat people. They just do in the most disgusting and heart breaking ways. Destroying lives because they can.
Reminds me of home. 😒
Quote: “The IDF trains ICE to beat
all the citizens on Minnesota streets”
FACT! THIS IS FACT!!
The Israeli army provides training to ICE and America’s cops, which is why American cops / ICE beat and kill so many people every year.
Quote: “WELL Hitler copied America during his planning”
FACT! Extremely true!
Hitler heavily researched Jim Crow, Indigenous genocide and how American governments got people to accept it. It is very true to say that when America fought Hitler, we were fighting our own shadow. After all, we finished off Hitler then went back to Jim Crow and acted like it was acceptable for two more decades.
Quote: “Carnival barkers, making mules of people”
This is a Pinocchio reference, “The Coachmen” that turned boys into mules for being fool. In this case the “boys” are the world’s non-US-non-Israeli militaries that we are supplying with aircraft and other military hardware we can shut off if they defy us. Like our Raptors have a killswitch, fact! We are not honest military partners.
Quote: “Walk in the door with my lethal weapon
Assassinator if the people ain’t stepping”
This is a homage to “Lethal Weapon” by super famous rapper Ice-T. Nothing threatening is intended by these lines, in fact the “Lethal Weapon” in the original song
Quote: “The Lethal Weapon Is My Mind”
- Ice-T
Quote:
Represented by an Eagle, Goebbels likes that
Disheveled unlevel Neville Chamberlain type cats
Push the overton window, but it’s not contrarian
Controlled opposition opponents get buried when
The night of long knives, cut like chives
On a Gordon Ramsay dinner plate on Saturday night
Infamous arms dealers unholy double sided
Causing Gaza harm openly genocided
Devouring souls like Attack On Titan
Monstrous ghouls that we keep by our side and
The IDF trains ICE to beat
all the citizens on Minnesota streets
Third Reich resemblence, it’s uncanny
WELL Hitler copied America during his planning
Don’t need Chelsea Manning, it’s an open book
They switch the wording when they know you look
———-
Geppetto, Gepetto making puppets
Of the world’s nations just for a ducket
Carnival barkers, making mules of people
Evil, deeply rich but not regal
The red, white and blue spells terror to you
No error to clarify what I say is true
Our media is controlled Propaganda
It’s slander, radioactive as Bruce Banner
—————
The foolish man wants to up and invade Canada
And takeover Greenland like he’s got the stamina
Class consciousness is critical. No dismissal!
But what of those that take capitalism literal?
They think the advent of fascism is new
Memories of wood nymphs in the morning dew
But that could be you. We’re all susceptible
Elite treat our minds like trash receptacles
No gerontocracy I don’t do decorum
I.R.A. blood mental bomb in the forum!!
Walk in the door with my lethal weapon
Assassinator if the people ain’t stepping
There’s no mistakes it’s all choice like
George Carlin said we ain’t one of the boys
You got to understand their decisions are tactical
They do everything in the interest of capital
