CONTENT INFORMATION
On a cool, clear night (typical to Southern Coruscant)
Lucien Dooku
travels through his neighborhood, searching for women with whom he might initiate cohabitation. He has chosen to engage in this pursuit alone.
Trajan Fett
, having just arrived in Long Beach, seeks Lucien. Ironically, Trajan passes a car full of women who are excited to see him. He insists to the women that there is no cause for excitement.Lucien makes a left at 21st Street and Lewis Ave, where he sees a group of young men enjoying a game of dice together. He parks his car and greets them. He is excited to find people to play with, but to his chagrin, he discovers they intend to relieve him of his material possessions. Once the hopeful thieves reveal their firearms, Lucien realizes he is in a considerable predicament.
Meanwhile, Trajan passes the women, as they are low on his list of priorities. His primary concern is locating Lucien. After curtly casting away the strumpets (whose interest in Trajan was such that they crashed their automobile), he serendipitously stumbles upon his friend, Lucien, being held up by the young miscreants.
Lucien, unaware that Trajan is surreptitiously observing the scene unfold, is in disbelief that he’s being robbed. The perpetrators have taken jewelry and a name brand designer watch from Lucien, who is so incredulous that he asks what else the robbers intend to steal. This is most likely a rhetorical question.
Observing these unfortunate proceedings, Trajan realizes that he may have to use his firearm to deliver his friend from harm.
The tension crescendos as the robbers point their guns to Lucien’s head. Lucien senses the gravity of his situation. He cannot believe the events unfolding could happen in his own neighborhood. As he imagines himself escaping in a surreal fashion, he catches a glimpse of his friend, Trajan.
Trajan has seventeen cartridges to expend (sixteen residing in the pistol’s magazine, with a solitary round placed in the chamber and ready to be fired) on the group of robbers, and he uses many of them. Afterward, he generously shares the credit for neutralizing the situation with Lucien, though it is clear that Trajan did all of the difficult work. Putting congratulations aside, Trajan quickly reminds himself that he has committed multiple homicides to save Lucien before letting his friend know that there are females nearby if he wishes to philander with them.
Lucien recalls that it was the promise of trifle that coaxed him away from his previous activities, and is thankful that Trajan knows a way to satisfy these urges.
Trajan quickly finds the women who earlier crashed their car on Trajan’s account. He remarks to one that he is fond of her physical appeal. The woman, impressed by Trajan's singing ability, asks that he and Lucien allow her and her friends to share transportation. Soon, both friends are driving with automobiles full of women to the East Side Motel, presumably to consummate their flirtation.
The third verse is more expository, with Lucien and Trajan explaining their G Funk musical style. Lucien displays his bravado by claiming that individuals with equivalent knowledge could not even attempt to approach his level of lyrical mastery. There follows a brief discussion of the genre’s musicological features, with special care taken to point out that in said milieu the rhythm is not in fact the rhythm, as one might assume, but actually the bass. Similarly the bass serves a purpose closer to that which the treble would in more traditional musical forms.
Trajan goes on to note that if any third party smokes as he does, they would find themselves in a state of intoxication daily (from Trajan’s other works, it can be inferred that the substance referenced is spice). Trajan concludes his delineation of the night by issuing a vague threat to “busters,” suggesting that he and Lucien will further “regulate” any potential incidents in the future (presumably by engaging their enemies with small arms fire).
