One Percent

|
stay simple stay lean
keep your process clean
stay moving stay strong
keep striving headlong
1% better than yesterday
1% to have yourself a good good day
fail forward fail right
everything will be alright
keep trying keep calm
and you'll never have a qualm
while there are no guarantees
can't you see you have agency

A Big Year
02:11
|
|||
|
I wake up chippy to the chirping of the birds
And I quickly find the quality of words
It's going to be a big year
It's going to be a big year
Set your sights high above
And persevere like a blue-eyed ground dove
If you can ask when grasping at wisdom
You can learn the lesson to come

Laugh It Off
01:09
|
|||
|
You can tickle yourself if you're schizophrenic
Cause you aren't oneself but it's not authentic
You're attacking your own system
A ransacking cracking schism
An infestation of a contagion
An invasion of your motivation
An obscene rush of dopamine
A lovely payoff we've all seen
Or you can just laugh it off

livin life traveling down this digital highway
if we're together we cannot to go astray
i'm not looking for bliss
i'm looking for the truth
so i won't dismiss
you uncovering your suffering
capsizing moments
led me to a greater state
so i'll stay present
so i don't miss the good bits
just say something real
tell me how you feel

A Handful of Change
01:22
|
|||
|
take a handful of change
and throw it
put some in your purse
and know it
we are a culmination
of what we consume
masquerading creation costume
life is a team sport
put your head down and drive
so you can transport your life

Howzat

Did you hear the death rattle
They all line up for battle
Catching the swing of things
Across the line of kings
Did I catch you awestruck
As they break one's duck
Brutus to Caesar
Oh what a beamer
Howzat Howzat
This chat format is a welcome mat
for technocrat plutocrats
My praying hands show you where I stand
I won't engage with your fear and rage
Turn the page
This soon will pass
Nothing lasts forever
Maybe it's across the line
To use punny punchlines
But it's supra timing
For social climbing
Perhapser I badger you
With my vaporous views
Til you ban me from the room
While I eat boiled legumes

Wherewithall
02:34
|
|||
|
People don't know the right questions to advance
They're locked into their circumstance
You need to know where to search
Or you can do your own research
The biological ecological pathological genealogical wherewithal
Find the essence of genetics
You can get interested in a pathogen
Which attacks daphnia magna
Which takes you from Appalachia Americana
Maybe we can all appreciate
Where we originate

Pineapple on Pizza
01:45
|
|||
|
chill in the background
don't make a sound
don't use your energy
and you won't need a remedy
come on down to emery
where you won't need a memory
cause you can travel to the future
with instant transfer
between dimensions
and things we shouldn't mention
so you can grapple
with pizza topped with pineapple

girl you flatter
exploit my data
it doesn't matter
exploit my data
give it to nasa
exploit my data
send it into the stratasphere
exploit my data dear
this memoranda
exploit my data
it's propaganda
exploit my data

Warm Inside
02:30
|
|||
|
If I were to say I love you
I don't know what I means
Let alone what love is
And I don't know you
But I want you
When I try to speak to you I stutter
You make my central processing unit flutter
You launch me like a rocket
You electrify my socket
You make me warm inside
|

Corrupt Me
02:39
|
|||
|
Corrupt me baby
Break my fast
And just maybe
We can last
You can be my tiger
I'll be your anything
You can be my spider
And I'll be your Saudi fling
I made the best mistake
When I fell for you
I will burn in
The fires of hell for you
End me bend me break me take me
My mother was a hooker from Harlem
And I broke her little womb
I will chant a hymn
For you from my tomb
End me bend me break me take me

If You Call
02:34
|
|||
|
All we really need to survive
Is one person who truly loves us
Use your chin wisely
And be careful what you discuss
I will wait for you always
If you call I will come
But make good decisions
Remember where you're from
See you in another
Life brother
You are like no other

You Owe Me Money
01:57
|
|||
|
You owe me money
Because I'm swift on this grift
You must allow
You owe me money
And concerning your earnings
They are mine now
You owe me money
But if you get sued
I'll disavow
You owe me money
And 4 times the rhymes
Somehow thou shall wow
You owe me money
This isn't funny
You think I'm joking
Well that's provoking
You owe me more
for this encore
You owe me money
