about

This is a song that I made. I put this song on this record after I made it.

lyrics

I can make it go upside down/ I aint really here I'm off the crust right now/ I aint needed winnin I'm off the cusp right how/ It feel to defy all gravity/ Brilliant Just brilliant Brilliant Just brilliant*** Came up out the womb with my body all broke/ But imma get it anyways relentless I joke/ No hands and i poke Fun at most folks/ Aww man I'm sick you keepin up let's toast/ To the sand and the water and the land for the coast/ To the/ rooster and the hen and the egg for the yolk/ That mix the butter flow slow bearnaise I aint forgot about the herb don't forget my name/ If I don't press these buttons will the earth rotate/ Call me desmond brother we gon ice this cake/ Off that shackleton bad its in the bag no cape/ we be walkin in our sleep so we can fly when we're awake/ I put the puffer in the tank and get real widdit/ You call it limits of the real I call it least that I can do to get experience and feel/ What it means to be/ More than human/ I'm talkin easily more than ladderin and shootin/
Life a ocean or a pool imma cue it with the music/ Providing explicit movement/ Watch them tubers get to tubin/ That's right we rootin/ Past might we movin/ Travel bright Get the message and use it/ bust illusion Down to a curve of light/ Then I put it in my pocket and I use it at night/ Kinda harry potter rockin in this magical life/ But 8 ball corner pocket aint forgot about the game right/ Livin what my name like Prophet that god remembered/ Don't forget and plus I'm clever witty Ride in the city and ride in the sticks/ Straiight slick is the committe amphibian shit/ Like ribbit where my frogs at/ ribbit where my newts at/ ribbit where my salamanders and my toads at/ I'm like ribbit ribbit ri ri ri ribbit*** I can make it go upside down/ I aint really here I'm off the crust right now/ I aint needed winnin I'm off the cusp right how/ It feel to defy all gravity/ Brilliant Just brilliant Brilliant Just brilliant*** All these days I wait for you I see no walrus and no eggs but now I am you/ Chillin in the fabric/ Many common threads Log cabin/ we build our homes from our surroundings And we deep in it/ See the core of the earth in heat wave vision/ And the content of the planet geographically exquisite/ But the content of the planet politically divisive/ Rich in the belly and the word is incisive/ And remoras on your belly cause you sharks have risen By ill means/ Rape pillage and kill things/ Burn forests stack buildings/ And pack plastic in buildings/ As a culture we revealin in the end there's no feelin: Ask maury who the baby daddy is/
So we can watch it on tv and laugh bout your kids/ Give em less pay more hours work em harder/ Push em to the grave and then charge em at the parlor/ Fuck a dead corpse fuck em longer fuck em harder/ And then beat a dead horse hit they kids with the ardor/ I aint gonna be a martyr cause I won't die/ Since I been off this cloud potion I stay most high/ Enlightened out the tao I am less guy/ And more guy to the tenth/ Changin dimensions got the universe bent/ Cause I whip it hard/ Make it split apart
I could split a million digits in a pie chart/ Or spit a sick vision enumerating pi's parts divide bars/ And break down rap mathematics To supply starts/ To the spark plugs in all these old american cars/ Man I done flooded out the levy to bring that shit back/ Yall just sittin in the chevy readin jack Kerouac/ Cars the symbol of a time when all we did was bust the mold/
So now we waitin out this life and that steel past cold its on die and corrode/ But the spirit in the them buckets be the sap out our souls/ So where you gonna pour it?/ I'm a peasant eatin porridge/ But I'm my peasant/ Fillin out my own headin/ And I buy my own pens/ Labelin my own legend/And I draw my own map/ Until my ink ends/ Decide who I call back/ Decide the where's and the when's/ Of everything I do because fuck an employer/ When we ruled we didn't get ruled over/ We put the rule over/ but now you got less rights than the makers of coca cola/ you gotta beat a dead horse to get to the marrow out/ Wanna eat the sparrows nest go get the sparrow out/ What the fuck you care about Yeah I'm askin/ So what the fuck you care about yeah I'm askin?/ Cause really you aint shit if it aint about action/ And I aint bout to blink twice bout movin or packin ***
I can make it go upside down/ I aint really here I'm off the crust right now/ I aint needed winnin I'm off the cusp right how/ It feel to defy all gravity Brilliant Just brilliant Brilliant Just brilliant
