Axl listened to Burgundy by Earl Sweatshirt and loved it. He wondered if he should make a cover of it and just alter some offensive lyrics
He told the rest of Cream Rose his idea and they were wary of him covering a Rap song, but wanted to support him. They were like,"This is risky, but as long as you alter the offensive lyrics,* it shouldn't be all that bad. "
Axl smiled and suggested Billy play the drums, Mike rap "Cut that Punk off!" refrain, Andy play the keyboard, James play lead guitar, and Jimmy play bass guitar.
Axl wrote
What's up, champ?
Why you so depressed and sad all the time like a little punk?
What's the problem man? Champs want to hear you rap
Don't nobody care about how you feel
We want raps, champ
My grandma's passin'
But I'm too busy tryin' to get this damn album crackin' too see her
So I apologize in advance if anything should happen
Cut that punk off
And my priorities messed up, I know it, I'm afraid I'm gonna blow it
And all them expectations raising because daddy was a poet, right?
Talk all you want I'm takin' no advice
Champ, I'm about to relish in this anguish
I'm stressin' over payment, so don't tell me that I made it
Cut that punk off
Only relatively famous in the midst of a tornado
Misfitted, I'm not able, I'm not stable
Abrasive as hell and they all pay me
I'm chucklin', laughing to myself in public
Cut that Punk off
Heart racin' so blood is leaked, like I don't give a damn right?
Hey, Thebe, what's up Champ? I heard you back, I need those raps, Champ? I need the verse, and I don't care about what you're going through, or what you gotta do, Champ. I need bars, sixteen of them.
I don't mess with too much of y'all's crap
Judging by the pants and the mall grip
Gully, in the vans with the dark tints
I'm a start crap type Champ
Cut that Punk off
Night life livin'
Ridin' in the jeep, I'm a side-swipe champs
What's your life like? It's aiight champ
Hammer in the left, Freddie what's the price of it?
Ridin' with the whip and I ain't got the license for it
Jill's got me livin like my life is golden
Sittin' on my sofa feeling chill and dormant
If we could dance again while Mike records it
what the hell you starin' at?
Cut that Punk off
Acting like you've never seen a dancing fool
Bars hotter than the blocks we be at
Stunt on these champs, they flop like Divac
See that champ?
For the time being, I'm a be that champ
Believe that champ, you see that champ?
For the time being I'm a be that champ
Believe that, champ
Cut that Punk off
They made the Burgundy cover. It sounded good. They went to Claven Records and gave them the Burgundy cover and Claven Records loved it, but suggested they get permission and pay for the Burgundy cover. They got the permission and paid for the Burgundy cover and read, understood, agreed and signed Contracts. They were Zelled 10 million each for the Burgundy song. They thanked Claven Records and were welcomed.
They chatted for a while and then said their goodbyes and left.
Already, the Burgundy cover hit number one on Itunes and Fans loved it. Cream Rose Critics criticized 6 White Boys covering an African American's Rap Song, but the Fans were like,"Shut up! Cream Rose sounds good and they altered all offensive lyrics!
Cream Rose blushed shyly and happily.
