lyrics

When the simulation crashes
It's unlikely he'll have ever made a classic.
Failed to target the masses or any demographic.
He made only what he wanted to to, and that's it.
I've had this principle guiding my rap practice
Since right around the time SoundCloud eclipsed Datpiff
That it would be tragic if I started rapping
For anybody other than the one that I inhabit.
Imagine me making a track I don't dig.
Imagine not wanting to bump your own shit.
Imagine spending even a single second of life
Making art without your heart in it. It isn't right.
Well, the only exception is if you need the bread bad;
Any other reason might be tied for dead last.
And I gotta say there's many better ways to get cash;
Everybody and their mother seems to rap nowadays, it's wack...

Anywho, try not to experience too many moods.
At the shows I rap at you tend to find many dudes;
No chicks, no shit, have you heard it?
I moved by the park I might have to start birding.
I've been flirting with unburdening my person.
Merging with immersive 3D worlds will not be worth it.
I used to get nervous, thinking I don't have a purpose.
Now I pause and take a couple deep breaths when the nerves surface.

I glide by, paper plane.
Move at my patient pace.
Chomping on ancient grains.
See me and they complain.
My my, they're so lame.
So into placing blame.
They're running basic plays.
Hit 3, Mike Breen go, "BANG!"
Oh man, that's him.
6'2", barely touch rim.
No six-pack won't see no gym,
Still get by with a handsome grin.
Insole for the arches.
Made this in my apartment.
Hit the eagle on the par 6.
My pen where the bars is on the parchment.
