I feel like doing dumb shit
I feel like I wrote a bad lick
I feel like an indie pop bitch
I feel like your local rapsmith hey
Uh, park my car on the lawn
pull up to the party at the crack of dawn
people on the porch who've been smoking since dusk
I got a new musk
But no one noticed
Oof
Right in the self-made, self-started, selfish,
But well guarded self esteem that I carted
To this party from therapy but also Target
Step 1: that's to get the skill
Perfect practice and pop a couple pills
Just to aid the process, I'm obsessed with progress,
Step 2 is completing my first project
Step 3 is getting humbled by it's failure on release
Step 4 is moving on and getting Better can't believe
I feel like doing dumb shit
I feel like I wrote a bad lick
I feel like an indie pop bitch
I feel like your local rapsmith hey
Ugh wish I could explain myself
Got my hand in a ziploc bag and I look like a f--
Wait, that ain't right
I went to hard and wound up saying something
I don't like, ay
Lost in the sauce,
Eyes like mauve feeling like Rick Ross
Except not a rapist so don't cut me off
Only kind of whack, wear my jacket and a pair of raws
Hoping that they fade in right
Hoping that I make it right
Hope to quit my day shift, right?
Hope to get you saying
I feel like doing dumb shit
I feel like I wrote a bad lick
I feel like an indie pop bitch
I feel like your local rapsmith hey

Art

Better coming out soon I don't know what to do
What the fuck is good art
And who the fuck are you?
Just another goofy whitey with come issues
And a family that loves them very much
I would like people to dance when I play
Oof piano
Make em move,
Makes some moves and make a difference
I got some time to lose before establishing myself
As an ambassador of truth:
Conservative opinions dominate the evening news.
That's a start,
But back to talking about art
I was reading Morgan Parker smoking Games in a park
It was dark and I was floored
Like Abarth pedals before
1971 I want you to think that I'm adorable
Burn a gram of the flora
Writing verse like it's a chore
This is all I have in store
Erratically shifting the mood
I am indelible
Until they hear me spit,
Some people think I'm hetero
Unless they see me walking down the street
With my legs out
Chicks and dude ogling,
Inclusively incredible!
Subtly trying to intrude on the convo
When I hear they're going off
About a white dude with a commune
Inject my opinion like a 40 year old doctor
Talking about a mental illness
That they don't know the prognosis for
People's heads turn when I open the door,
Gonna put out three albums they'll be asking for more
You talk to my producer if you're the curious sort
Haha, that was a joke, you probably already know them.
Burn a gram of the flora
Writing verse like it's a chore
This is all I have in store

Hume

I enjoy wearing costumes reading Hume on the toilet
Not because I like Hume, but cause I'm annoying
I could've been a sadboi, instead the kid is neither
Call me Winona Ryder cause my first role is of a complex teen.
Only difference being I don't fuck with Charlie Sheen
Do your research before you wear that t shirt
With idolatry of any man who leads, acts, or makes art
Cause you're just going to get hurt when the veil is lifted
Cambridge Analytica's the piston,
My news feed is the engine
I think that I'm the driver
But I'm just the transmission
Use your intuition and carry a big stick, no
Make it a broadsword
I like Milo more than any dead president
Kennedy to Jefferson, feel like a research paper
With all of these useless references
Oof is the feeling of this setraline
Clumsily inhibiting my seratonin levels
But before you go go, just want you to know know,
I wrote this down in slow-mo,
While shunting all responsibility and drinking lemon tea
Mercy, Mercy, Mercy me, acquiescing on these beat
I would have been happier if I had met Cannonball Adderly
Canonball in the pool
I don't take adderall for school
I only do it cause it's cool
I am alive but I'm a fool
and that's the way I like
Make a friend and spend the night:
Drink and talk about our lives.
Much sicker than your average, and less reverent:
That's a killer combo and I'm not playing Tekken.
I ate an egg for breakfast, what about you?
I was getting lots of protein you were playing with your food!
I look so silly and so sexy when I wear this dress
I saw a man making eyes, but he was looking for some breasts
I felt bad for him, cause he was unimpressed,
He could've had it Better with what's underneath my sweater!
Oof. Some people can't read between the lines
Some people hate people for reasons that don't even rhyme
That was a bad line but I'm leaving it in
I'm thinking about my best friends when I'm leaving that in.
