Steemit Exclusive: Flippin Out: Original Song I wrote on House Arrest by Charlie Shrem

Often I write music to deal with my emotions.

The day after I was arrested and split up with Courtney, I wrote this song and recorded myself singing it.

I wrote this in my journal:

I’m sitting in my bedroom, here in the basement of parents’ house. Alone with our dog, Ruby. She’s a Shih, Tzu. You know, that small yappy breed with long hair and eyes like Igor in Young Frankenstein. Every so often, Ruby sniffs my foot and tugs my ankle bracelet. It’s not the kind my dad manufactures in his jewelry business. My bracelet beeps when the batteries go low. It’s beeping now. Ruby hates the noise. She’s barking like crazy, attacking my foot. I better recharge before the Feds get angry. I lost my company. Then, I got strip-searched in JFK and lost my freedom.

I'm not the best of singers, but I hope you enjoy !

Tell me if I'm wrong, but it happens a lot
They get scared at things once they get hot
We now know it's a recurring theme
What happened to the American dream ?
I turned around to see what that could be ?
Next thing that happens I'm a detainee, agents
And they yell and shriek
Now I haven't seen my girlfriend
In one whole week

I start to think that things are looking bad
In prison they gave me a writing pad
Here comes my legal team, they're set ting bail
Please god help, I'll never survive in jail
And now I'm thinking that I'm fed to sharks
Against the wall, yeh they are throwin darts, fear
And maybe sadness too
Now let me take a good look at you!

I'm flipping out
And my parents are sweating bullets
I'm flipping out
And my I'm counting down the minutes.

From the early on, Bitcoin was on the frontier
We decided to change the way we've lived for thousands of years
We fought with experts that they're incorrect
Well what fees and middlemen, and a little respect?
I ask the judge "Am I ever going home?"
But he just looks and says you should have known
Because laws, are here to protect our freedom
I got my axe and spear and shield to fight in the coliseum

No more parties, I'm banned from cities
No more court and work, can it get more shitty
Now its only friends and the neighbroohod guys
To go outside I must call the FBI
I'm going crazy, yeh I'm on my way
Just gotta learn all those crash phrases that I'll need to say
Like Bitcoin, and I love you
Cause I know if I don't say it we won't get through!

I'm flipping out…
And I never shave my face
Cause I'm too scared of this case
And I'll never take a shower
Cause in prison being large is power
And my parents are sweating bullets
And my I'm counting down the minutes.
And my parents are sweating bullets
And my I'm counting down the minutes.
And my parents are sweating bullets
And my I'm counting down the minutes.
And now I'm starting to choke
Hey! I wish for just one more toke
