Triforce - MC Lars

NARRATOR:

10 years later

In the city of Los Angeles…

AGENT OVER PHONE:

Marty?

Marty?

We’re really counting on you

The YouTube ad revenue is starting to dry up

So get back out there

And get us paid!

MC LARS:

Remember Marty?

Major label A&R scout?

Made it to the top

Now his luck’s running out

He can’t stay focused

Life is getting harder

Since his trophy wife ran off

With the founder of a start-up

«You're as good as your last hit,»

But the well has run dry

Marty makes excuses

And he blames Spotify

The label press calls and yells

«Marty, you’re fired,»

But after the divorce he can’t afford to retire!

For the next year, Marty tries to find his way

Moves into an ashram for two whole days!

Drops outta cooking school and one month later

He’s on Hermosa Beach working as a waiter

Then one fine morning at the Crawfish Shack

Marty makes a plan to get his life on track

He sees a flyer on the wall while he’s on his break

For a DJ set by his old friend Blake

BLAKE:

Cry tonight

My hands around your hands

I won’t let you die tonight

My heart’s in your hands

I won’t let you-

MARTY:

Hey man!

It’s Marty!

It’s been a long time!

What are you working these days?

MC LARS:

Blake and Marty, they go for coffee

Blake’s gained weight and he looks a little sloppy

He catches Marty up on his last ten bands

And how Hearts that Hate is still big in Japan

And that his dubstep remix of «Cry Tonight»

Made the Hype Machine charts for one whole night

A hit is a hit, so Marty makes a plan

To update Blake’s image and reinvent his brand

Marty puts $ 20k on his credit card

To help make Blake the newest EDM star

With a new website, agent, and stylist

He funds his new EP called «My Name is Cry-llex»

He dyes his hair black for his re-arrival

The new «Cry Tonight» video goes viral

Blake gets a slot on Warped Tour and EDC

With his turnt up set that the kids came to see

BLAKE:

Cry tonight

My hands around your hands

I won’t let you die tonight

My heart’s in your hands

I won’t let you-

RADIO DJ:

And our number one song on the EDM countdown, four weeks running!

You guessed it-Cry-llex!

I don’t really get it, but this kid is everywhere!

MC LARS:

Momentum builds, but it all caves in

The label calls Marty, he just can’t win!

The 360 deal Blake signed in '04

Has been optioned by the label ten years more

Blake can’t keep any cash from «Cry Tonight»

Because the label still owns all the master rights

Blake reinvents himself doing laptop rap

Marty’s back to waiting dishes at the Crawfish Shack

Marty’s back to waiting dishes at the Crawfish Shack?

Marty’s back to waiting dishes at the Crawfish Shack

Incoherent screaming

BLAKE:

Cry tonight

My hands around your hands

I won’t let you die tonight

My heart’s in your hands

I won’t let you cry tonight

My hands around your hands

I won’t let you die tonight

My heart’s in your hands

I won’t let you-
