Truthfully I was torn on releasing a music video this week. People need more than a song about archaic ringtones right now. But maybe it'll give you some entertainment. I will continue making music videos during this time, and urge everyone to find an outlet to help them push through.

The chorus I think came to me when someone's ringtone went off in public. Anyway, I wrote it then performed it at open mic the next night. And people immediately were into it. So I kept performing it every week, and finally did a studio recording / music video for it, that included video and audio from a live show. That's actually the crowd saying "it's 2020" in the chorus, pulled from the live show audio. Thanks for joining in! And a big thank you to @offstagetunes for the awesome camerawork and seamless collaboration on this!

lyrics

Chorus

Turn off your ringtone...it’s 2020
Turn off your ringtone...it’s 2020
It’s loud and obnoxious, it isn’t funny
Turn off your ringtone...it’s 2020

Verse 1

Turn if off right now
Turn if off right now
Walk in the crowd hear the awkwardest sound now they
All looking down like they gawk at the ground
Thought I had my phone on vibrate, irate, but it ain’t mine, wait
It’s the dude next to me with his ring trajectory the pitch tone is deafening

In the middle of the church in the middle of the workplace
in the middle of the middle of the happy birthday song
Word that’s wrong
In the middle of this very verse of song
Gone, piano recital
Here’s the title: "muting’s vital"
This ain’t no Nokia,
turn it off no lie Pinnochi-ah, ugh

Chorus

Breakdown / Verse 2

When I’m at the open mic all i hear is….
When I’m hanging out wit Mike all i hear is…
When I’m riding in the taxi all I hear is….
When I’m making all my rap beats all I hear is...

When I’m tryin to get some peace and quiet some re-
lief and silence from the beeps outside and when I’m
Walking down the produce aisle and some old dude smile
When he seeing that his old boo dialing his mobile
Go wild simply go to settings
Flip the switch on the left side you ready
To discontinue the clips of ring tunes ya cling to
Stop, I'ma sing this uno mas
