1. - Wax was the union of veteran musicians Andrew Gold and Graham Gouldman, which produced several albums in the 1980s. Gold, the son of Academy Award-winning composer Ernest Gold and Marni Nixon (who had handled the singing for, among others, Natalie Wood in West Side Story), had been a member of Linda Ronstadt's band and found success as a solo artist and songwriter in the '70s. Gouldman had been a solo artist as well as a member of Hotlegs and 10cc.
In 1986, Wax released their debut, Magnetic Heaven, which spent nearly three months on the U.S. album charts, spawning the hit "Right Between the Eyes," which just failed to reach the Top 40, peaking at number 43. Two more albums by the duo followed, 1987's American English, which contained the successful European single "Bridge to Your Heart," and 1989's A Hundred Thousand in Fresh Notes. The latter two records failed to achieve sales of the debut and, by the beginning of the '90s, both Gold and Gouldman had moved on to other efforts; the former, in the singer/songwriter collaboration Bryndle; the latter, participating in a reunion with his 10cc mates.
2. - Wax is an American rapper/singer. He was one of the first "YouTube rappers", posting various songs and freestyles on the website since 2007. In 2008, he released Liquid Courage, his debut solo full-length album. He signed to Def Jam Records on March 2011, releasing his album "Scrublife" under the label, before parting ways with Def Jam in August 2012 due to creative differences. In early 2013, he released a new album "Continue"; in late 2015, he released "Livin' Foul", another studio album. His YouTube channel has over 99 million views (as of Oct. 30, 2018). He has frequently collaborated with other West Coast artists such as Dumbfoundead,Anderson .Paak, and Watsky. He has
also recorded music as part of the groups Wax and EOM, Clockwise and Wax and Herbal T, and was the lead singer of band Macgregor.
3. - Wax is a rock band based in San JosΓ©, California. They are best known for the MTV "buzz clip" song, and the videoclip of their song "California," directed by Spike Jonze. The band contributed a cover of Ren & Stimpy's "Happy Happy, Joy Joy" for the compilation Saturday Morning: Cartoons' Greatest Hits and their song "Mallrats" was included in the soundtrack for the Kevin Smith film Mallrats. In the 1996 movie Bio-Dome, the band can be seen performing "HeΒ΄s a Whore", "Do You Wanna Dance?", and "Your Intelligence". Loomis Fall went on to appear on Jackass the TV series and both Jackass films. The band reunited in July of 2009.
4. - μμ€ (Wax) is a female rock singer in South Korea. She debuted in 2000 with the single "Oppa" and has had seven albums (one marketed overseas) and two compilations.
5. - Wax is also one of the aliases of Robert Meijer - Dutch electronic dance music producer, active in early '90s.
6. - Wax was a punk band based in GΓ€vle, Sweden between 1982-1983. Wax was little of a fun band. Later members from the band created the group Los Bohemos.

Wax Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's me Wax and eom feed tracks
To cats who hate weak raps and weak beats and repeats
Of last weeks recyclables
You can find out if my ass cheeks are like-able
Kiss 'em while you hate
I'll be sitting in the waiting room
Writing tunes
And while you waste time making stupid rules
We'll stay in the pocket like newborn marsupials
You'd be fools if you followed their lead
You might as well kneel down and swallow their seed, man
Hating on E and Wax
E, pass me another hurricane dog
So I can stay lit like a Duraflame log
I prefer insane smog in my brain over airheadedness
Add this to your "I didn't get it" list
Fuck a memo
Fuck a demo
Fuck a deal
Fuck every emotion in your soul that you feel
Pop pills with us so you can roll with the real, thank you
Another cd sold for a meal
Take 'hold of the wheel
Matter fact
Give it back
You can't handle the torque of an eom track
You put in so much effort
To pitiful results
Goddamn you have a lot of faults, flaws
Blemishes and shortcomings
Me and E's forthcoming efforts
Will be effortless and more stunning
Ya'll ain't fucking with Wax
Why do people seem so glass half-empty?
Yet they give a pass to these half-ass Emcees
What I have in common with giraffes, cash, and bees
Is I'm high and I'm fly and I cause envy
If Herbal T or eom Isn't your name
Then your musical advice was probably given in vain
While you write and talk about the shit you think I need to change
I'll be outside smiling, singing in the rain, man
On my parade you can pour piss
I'll be dancing on a float in a state of pure bliss
One day me and Herbal T'll pour Crist'
Till then, sorry bro, I'm too pour Chris
But you can pass me the Paps
And here's a fucking pillow eom relax
Lyrical gold medal Olympian
Cardio
Regimen
Still I got
Hardly no, benjamins
Motherfuckers stop for the show
Like Maury Povich and them
I can see the sorry ho bitch in them
Walk around with their nose in the air
But we just brush 'em to the side like an emo kid combing his hair
I rock tight like that same kid's jeans
Ya'll are like X ridden teens
All green with envy like thanksgiving beans and the casserole
Beat you back into your hole like we're playing Whack-a-Mole
Damn, ya'll some busy little beavers
Pitiful achievers with your critical demeanor's
We don't do it for the doubters we just rip it for believers
If you haters want a cookie give a visit to the Keebler's
One more, one more, one, two, three, four
People show us love when we come through?
Dc too down to bcu
And Hampton, where you'll find eom cold lampin'
Kickin' back making beats in his leisure time
With a fine Caeser and Tequila from the freezer with a squeeze of lime
I'm 'bout to go and get some peace of mind
San Diego lay low with my seat reclined
In the shade where the air is cooler
I'll take the day off like Ferris Bueller
Prepare a cooler, roll a big ass spliff
You piss ants can come along or just remain stiff
Spit clever just cause my tongue is your
Type of curve balls win them fucking Cy Young Awards
I'm Sandy Koufax
So much stress on my mind it's hard to stay sober
They decrease the load of the weight on my shoulders
I hit the liquor store for another king cobra,
Use my debit card I hope it ain't over
The limit cuz you know what that be, another 25 for the over draft fee
Where does that go exactly?
I don't know exactly, but it isn't to the lower class
People lookin' for a check in stressed out conditions,
Regretting horrible decisions
Like me who just got a dui and I can't afford it the fee's are to high
And there's no one to blame but I but I can't provide
Water when my well's run dry and I got ripped off last
Year buyin' money tree's
Look at em' everyday and still just fuckin leaves,
A couple G's of spare change to some
Who are those people, what are their name and num
Birds, I'm so stressed I'm cuttin' up worms I laugh at the situation
Cuz it's fuckin absurd. Check my swag as I rip it
I'd pull out my hair but I can't quite grip it
And I can't afford a damn flight ticket for a plane ride
If I could I'd go to Maine and hide
[Outro:]

The song encourages listeners to tilt their seats back and relax as they listen to the music.

Rather than dealing with rules and regulations, Wax prefers to sit back and write tunes, which is the central theme of the song. The song is filled with metaphors and imagery as Wax talks about people who are always unhappy, negative, and critical of others. Wax uses the line "I'm high and I'm fly and I cause envy" to show the attitude he aims to have in life. Wax also talks about the stress of financial problems and the consequences of poor decisions. The song ends with Wax saying that he'd love to just relax in the shade with a big spliff and forget about his worries.
The song was released in Wax's Scrublife mixtape in 2011, which features co-production by EOM.

The song received airplay on various radio stations, and the video received much attention on YouTube.
Line by Line Meaning
Tilt your seats back and relax
Sit back and unwind
It's me Wax and eom feed tracks
Wax and eom make music together
To cats who hate weak raps and weak beats and repeats
Their music is not for those who dislike simple and repetitive sounds
Of last weeks recyclables
Their music is fresh and original
You can find out if my ass cheeks are likable
They do not care about what others think of them
Kiss 'em while you hate
They do not care if others dislike them
I'll be sitting in the waiting room
They are writing new music while others criticize and judge them
Writing tunes
Their focus is on making new music
While you have a lively debate
Others waste time arguing and discussing insignificant matters
And while you waste time making stupid rules
Others are busy creating pointless regulations
We'll stay in the pocket like newborn marsupials
They will continue to make music purely for the love of it, without worrying about what others think
You'd be fools if you followed their lead
Following their footsteps is not wise
You might as well kneel down and swallow their seed, man
It would be better to give up and accept defeat
Hating on E and Wax
Others are criticizing their music and them as individuals
E, pass me another hurricane dog
Pass me another beverage
So I can stay lit like a Duraflame log
To continue their state of being high
I prefer insane smog in my brain over airheadedness
They enjoy being high and the creative inspiration it brings
Add this to your "I didn't get it" list
Others do not understand their music or lifestyle
Fuck a memo
They do not care about paperwork or official communication
Fuck a demo
They do not need to prove themselves with a demo
Fuck a deal
They do not need a record deal to make music
Fuck every emotion in your soul that you feel
They do not care about others' emotions or feelings
Pop pills with us so you can roll with the real, thank you
Take drugs with them to experience true life
Another cd sold for a meal
Selling music is a means of survival
Take 'hold of the wheel
Take control of your own life
Matter fact
In fact
Give it back
Return control to those who deserve it
You can't handle the torque of an eom track
Their music is too complex for some people to understand
You put in so much effort
Others try hard to succeed
To pitiful results
But their efforts are often not successful
Goddamn you have a lot of faults, flaws
They acknowledge their own shortcomings
Blemishes and shortcomings
They have many faults and flaws
Me and E's forthcoming efforts
They have new music coming soon
Will be effortless and more stunning
Their new music will be even better than previous efforts
Ya'll ain't fucking with Wax
Nobody compares to their level of skill and talent
Why do people seem so glass half-empty?
Why are people so negative?
Yet they give a pass to these half-ass Emcees
Others tolerate and accept mediocre artists
What I have in common with giraffes, cash, and bees
They have nothing in common with giraffes, cash, or bees
Is I'm high and I'm fly and I cause envy
They are high and confident and inspire jealousy in others
If Herbal T or eom Isn't your name
If people are not involved in their music
Then your musical advice was probably given in vain
Your advice on their music is pointless
While you write and talk about the shit you think I need to change
While others criticize their music and lifestyle
I'll be outside smiling, singing in the rain, man
They will continue to enjoy life and make music regardless of criticism
On my parade you can pour piss
Others can try to ruin their mood, but it won't work
I'll be dancing on a float in a state of pure bliss
They will continue to be happy and successful despite negativity
People show us love when we come through?
Do people appreciate their music?
Dc too down to bcu
They have fans in DC, as well as BC University
And Hampton, where you'll find eom cold lampin'
They also have fans in Hampton, where eom enjoys relaxing
Kickin' back making beats in his leisure time
eom spends his free time making music
With a fine Caeser and Tequila from the freezer with a squeeze of lime
eom enjoys making drinks to accompany his music making
I'm 'bout to go and get some peace of mind
They are going to relax and clear their mind
San Diego lay low with my seat reclined
They will chill in San Diego with their seat back
In the shade where the air is cooler
They will relax in a comfortable environment
I'll take the day off like Ferris Bueller
They will take a break from their busy schedule like Ferris Bueller did
Prepare a cooler, roll a big ass spliff
They will make drinks and smoke a large joint
You piss ants can come along or just remain stiff
Others are welcomed to join or stay stagnant
Spit clever just cause my tongue is your
They are good at making clever rhymes
Type of curve balls win them fucking Cy Young Awards
Their rhymes are award-winning
I'm Sandy Koufax
They are the best in their field, just like Sandy Koufax
So much stress on my mind it's hard to stay sober
They have a lot of stress and it's difficult to stay away from drugs
They decrease the load of the weight on my shoulders
Drugs help them cope with stress
I hit the liquor store for another king cobra,
They drink to deal with their problems
Use my debit card I hope it ain't over
They hope they have enough money to buy what they need
The limit cuz you know what that be, another 25 for the over draft fee
They have to pay extra fees when they exceed their bank limit
Where does that go exactly?
They question where all the extra fees go
I don't know exactly, but it isn't to the lower class
They believe the extra fees do not help the poor
People lookin' for a check in stressed out conditions,
Poor people are struggling to survive
Regretting horrible decisions
They realize they have made mistakes in the past
Like me who just got a dui and I can't afford it the fee's are to high
They recently got a DUI and cannot afford the high fees
And there's no one to blame but I but I can't provide
They take responsibility for their actions
Water when my well's run dry and I got ripped off last
They have been taken advantage of by others
Year buyin' money tree's
They bought a fake money-making scheme
Look at em' everyday and still just fuckin leaves,
Their attempt to make easy money was a failure
A couple G's of spare change to some
They only have a little bit of money left
Who are those people, what are their name and num
They do not know who they can rely on
Birds, I'm so stressed I'm cuttin' up worms I laugh at the situation
They are so stressed they are doing strange things and find humor in it
Cuz it's fuckin absurd.
Their situation is ridiculous
Check my swag as I rip it
They are confident in themselves and their music
I'd pull out my hair but I can't quite grip it
They are frustrated and stressed out
And I can't afford a damn flight ticket for a plane ride
They cannot afford to travel
If I could I'd go to Maine and hide
They wish they could escape their situation

"Pass me another hurricane, dog, so I can stay lit like a duraflame log. I prefer insane smog in my brain over airheadedness, add this to your "I didn't get it" list". That is just godlike.
EditOrsini
One reason is how bad mainstream rap is, most of the people who would enjoy this don't look for it because of mainstream rap. Spread the good stuff.
Talking with Famous People
I like this. YouTube autoplay random track... Impressive. Good stuff, Mr. Rapper Man. You rap very well, and the track is very well produced. Nothing but positive commentary from me about this.
