ellesquire on the prowl lyrics aussie hiphop

Ollesquire is a Sydney hip hop rapper and released his first record called "Ready" in August 2011.

Ollesquire is coming to Melbourne:
Fri, Nov 25 - 8:30 pm
Northcote Social Club - Melbourne (W/ Thundamentals Foreverlution Tour)

further info on his Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/ellesquire?sk=app_178091127385

He is best known for the track "on the prowl" where he uses humor and sincerity to describe a typical situation when we go out for hunting! Really funny!


I tried to find "on the prowl" lyrics in the internet but is is not available. What do we do in this situation? We write it!
If you see this lyrics anywhere else, they copied from here.

As English is not my first language, it was a good exercise to sit down, write the lyrics and understand better the Aussie accent and slang.  Obviously I didn't get it all done. I did 70% and asked Genny to help with the rest. There is still a few words we couldn't get it but.

You can listen to "on the prowl" on his Facebook page or youtube" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipU7_e6uF3A

So, do you like stuff??? very Aussie - here we go:



Ellesquire - on the prowl

Oh yeah
I'm on fire when I go to the night clubs
My pick up line is
so do you like stuff?
if they are keen they're probably a mindfuck

or they're fine  but they've turned dark known' my luck

I've gone right up to 'em and like Hi but
I never have a follow up line
So I just hi em up

Can I buy you a drunk
I mean buy a drink
I mean shit n' a fuck

I'm trying to think of somethin' witty to say
and she's like "whatever"
I'm sorry baby you could've been mine forever

I came on too strong
played on too long and found myself dancing to Akon's new song

Drunk as all fuck
Still trying to get my groove on
Bouncer comes up
"Sir can you please move on, you're too drunk it's time to call it quits"
I says:
"too drunk this is only my fourth of fifth, plus you're interrupting me, I'm trying' to talk to chicks"
he says "it's not a girl, you're talking to the wall you dick"
ahh shit...
"No wonder she was such a good listener, about to start kissing' her and get all of her digits, but you interrupted!"
he didn't find it funny
he kicked me out the club and then he punched me in the tummy

He's calling me a smartass and a drunk bum
said "I'd rather be a smartass than a dum cunt" (ehee no you didn't?)
No I didn't
but I think it's probably what I would've said if I was bigger

Full of liquor I move on to the next pub
I'm not gonna go home,
I've gotten all dressed up

Listen to me

(chorus)
Single and I'm on the prowl
I wish that I could mingle, I just don't know how
I get pissed too quick
Then I get thrown out
before I even get a chance to write your number down
(repeat)

Hey..um.. so I'm a rapper you know
oh you're a rapper, what?
you know like I rap and stuff
My mate is in the hilltop hoods
No, I don't know the hilltop hoods
They're awesome...yeah, you should see them
I'm good but, I'm heaps good, do you want me to do a rap for you?
no, I m actually gonna go over here now

So I find myself
in the middle of the largest of lines
just to get into a bar for a lager or five

I'd already been going hard drunk a carton at mine
before I even left my apartment and started my night

I see a hottie walk pass so I ask her for a light
She says "no I don't smoke"
n I say 'nah, neither do I'

We got to have a laugh at my retarded reply
but then she kept walking like she just passing me by

I had to think fast so I ask for the time
she says 'the thing on your wrist will give a rather good guide'

back to old smart ass like she's larger than life
ah forget her
I'm already at the start of the line
So I get into the venue where the party is right
everybody is looking like they're haven' a marvellous night
so many ladies in the place that it was hard to see guys
So it can't be hard for me to get a part of the pie
Pardon me I think I'll get a glass of your wine
the barman behind next to the chick in the karky design
The bartender just laughs and says "aren't you surprised that apart from you and I in the club there aren't any guys"
Well I did feel a little bit marginalised
But hell, all the more girls for me to party with me right?'

he's like "next time you (?find or win?) yourself some ass for the night n stay away from here dude this is a bar just for dykes"

(chorus)
Single and I'm on the prowl
I wish that I could mingle, I just don't know how
I get pissed too quick
Then I get thrown out
before I even get a chance to write you number down
(repeat)




This is Aussie talent! I will definitely check it out in Melbourne on 25th Nov.

Web Mobile iPhone and Androids Inconsistencies

As I wrote in my profile, I am currently working as a Web Mobile Developer, focussed on high-end devices and will start to share my experiences and hacks to get the work done.

It has been a great experience working with HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript. Most people thinks this is all about rounded corner divs but we can build powerful web mobiles applications with HTML5 and CSS3.

Therefore nothing comes without some reasonable hassle. If you were one that complains about inconsistence on standard web site like Internet Explorer versus firefox, you need relax. You should be really happy where you are.

Web Mobiles is ten times more inconsistent than web for desktop. IPhones run safari mobile, which is not the same as safari desktop.  Androids behave slightly differently over device manufacturers (Eg.: annoying -webkit-tap-highlight-color css3 property) and totally different from iPhones.  


Please don't get me wrong: I love mobiles! that's why I didn't kill myself when I found out that safari mobile does not implement fixed position, neither div overlay scroll.

Can you do anything on web for desktop without fixed position and overflow scroll? In mobiles we have to do it. Find a good work-around is part of your role.

Worse yet, here comes safari mobile - the new Internet Explorer headache in mobiles.


But there are things that both iPhone and Androids sucks:

input type="search"

This code is supposed to give you that "clear on demand", the same on iphone apps but without any extra code. This is specified on HTML5 but they don't implement it.


Safari mobile does not implement overflow scroll for divs. Luckily there is the fantastic iScroll (http://cubiq.org/iscroll-4) that "fixes" this problem.


There are consistent things as well like geoLocation:

    navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(foundLocationFunc, noLocationFunc); 

works for both devides and in a second you'll .


Next time I will share how to implement like a centralized spinner with a full screen semi-transparent overlay locking the page background. There are some tricks when the page is bigger than the screen and you have scroll.

Later on, I will share how to use full screen for iphone, take the most of this huge screen height.
