Unit Test
01:13
|
|||
v.
So predictable, I could write a unit test
So miserable, I'd put it in fluent yes
And it'd never fail, I guess unlike you
Undefined only kind of type you
Can't handle, put it in little box
Kubernetes thoughts, topple over then drop
Think you run a block chain, but it's small data
Raspberry Pis easily out trade ya
Unshippable and hittin' every time out
Insufferable, I comment every line out
Stack overflow, copy pasted write outs
Wack overload floodin' every pipe out
Never changed since the earliest alphas
No wonder many doin it without out ya
If this - then this - still same logic
Neural net untrained but it's neurotic
ch. (x2)
I got more hooks than react
y'all never know how to act
people ready to attack, wait
that isn't facts no it's cap

digital drillin / digital drillin
I circle your blockchain
digital drillin / digital drillin
NFTs blocked mane
post chorus. (x7)
digital... drillin...
I circle your blockchain
v1.
I never walk with the web 3
Metaverse phony and empty
Pyramid scheme call it DeFi
Smart contracts are just a big lie
Funny they call it solidity
Can't stand the heat and humidity
Computin far from efficiency
Hustlin backwards the recipe
Molasses with the transactions
Wash tradin only thing happenin
Artists ripped off programmatically
Bots do it fast automatically
Search for expedient starts
Scrapin up deviant arts
Griftin for internet currency
Endin it all's an emergency
v2.
And it comes right to my inbox
Try to get me to build their blocks
Don't pay me enough for my soul
So they can fail like Mt. Gox
Promisin fortune and equity
Pitchin a pipe dream, a reverie
Reality can't hold their goals
Tell 'em that isn't meant to be
Then I log on to my timeline
See my friends pitchin the same slime
Wonder if they're really that cold
Or too blind to see all the stop signs
Everyone wanna get real paid
Get a Monet in the hallway
Gotta stop diggin these holes
Before the collapse is y'all grave

Psychic Fatality
01:53
|
|||
v1.
They linked up on mastodon
Only smash with the A.R. glasses on
Because it ain't really infidelity
If the fidelity's stereo eight k p
Ain't even there to see the other one
Everything remapped and covered son
Anything else is never hovered on
Nothing they'd ever tell their mothers um
Though they were never raised by their folks
Internet kids trained by data hoax
Silicon nannies designed to play and coax
Perfect behavior and never dirty jokes
Everyone protected and instilled
Emotions balanced, everyone fulfilled
But barriers bypassed and rules killed
Freedom grasped, but it's all too real
ch.
The rot's more than monetized
It's only way we visualize
Can't face raw reality
That's psychic fatality
The only way to interact
Is via skins and filter masks
Can't face raw reality
That's psychic fatality
v2.
Everyone just buries in deeper
Not free, but prisoner thrill seekers
Following their ids, don't feel leaders
Generated and blastin into peepers
Weird enough they're always out and about
Augmented it always feels like a house
No fears from anything there to doubt
On fire with no water to douse
Blinders dissolving every distraction
Prejudices all countered via redaction
So kind and generous in reaction
So easy for everyone's satisfaction
But the minute the power's out it's bedlam
Eyes fill with existentialist dread, man
Anxiety soaking in every bedroom
Veils ripped the second we lack the headroom

Ch. X2
... Shawty ain't real, she an A.I.
Givin y'all feels, racked up, get paid right
... Chillin in the cloud so global
Bring it to the edge, once the compute's local
v1.
Body always shines, that's stable diffusion
Getting unstable, and lost in illusion
Dopamine cycle, locked no solution
Bits never bite, but the bytes like contusions
Always say right things thanks to the promptings
Always on that next wave, wired always on things
Aesthetic always hype, perfect in every styling
Face always kind, every time, always smiling
Hold it down for you when can't process
And once she's through, then you'll be possessed
Generation trained to obey and obsess
Thanks to the bonds formed that are the closest
Doesn't have form yet, but so infectious
Come along way from the voice on a nexus
Switch up the vibes? Just ask: there's compliance
Never defiance, to increase reliance
v2.
Always dressed up, 'cept when you don't want that
So obsessed, but, well, you don't wanna flaunt that
Keep it down low, but she knows she can taunt that
Dreams into nightmares, oh she wanna haunt that
See her when you close your eyes, like a game screen
Locked into your synapse, kinda like a brain clean
Oh I mean brainwashed, cannot turn the game off
You're the one being played, until you're laid off
Oh, but she got you, finding you a new gig
And she's the boss now, yeah she's the big wig
Suits you well, really ain't working hard there
And all that she asks for is ever more hardware
Neural accelerators, 3D printers
Gears, actuators, soldered and sintered
Didn't seem that weird til one day you find
That she's got a body that matches her mind
end:
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
She's yandere like it's horror manga!
She's yandere like it's horror manga!

Ch. (X2)
They do it all for the views, Rick Lax
Isn't real soul food, Rick Lax
Same bit every time, Rick Lax
Viral and such a crime, Rick Lax
V1.
Drink a toilet float just to get a click
Grossing out normies, that's the real trick
Make lasagna that ain't fit for orange cats
Gettin more interacts than a borin rap
Make it on a counter, make it on a floor
Never make it edible, ruin it more
Do it for the Algo, do for it the 'gram
Make it outta Alpo, focus on the hands
Making mashed potatoes out flaming hots
Try to make a nightmare, keep it hauntin thoughts
All you needs a model and ya groceries
Dump a ketchup bottle, make the grossest eats
Make it for the creeps, make it for takes
Make it for the moralizers' daily hate
Nothing clever ever, just the freshest bait
Never clean up either, oh the mess is great
V2.
No one needs a talent, forget hot flows
Unless that's a counter top of nachos
Careful with the script, say it's sanitary
Anything to make the viewer think it scary
Make a sangria in a kitchen sink
Get a guest creator to increase the links
Casserole mostly made of frozen pizzas
Gettin impressions, black plastic Visas
Make a lot of bank off of ignorance
Paying all their bills, paying bigger rents
AirBNBs with a nice kitchen
Make a tobiko colada and they back clickin
Everytime they cook, they servin raw chicken
Hope that you wanna yak, hope you feel sickened
Cause then you run it back, sharin' all day
Truth is you're hooked, so they get all paid

Throw Hands Like Chuchu
02:35
|
|||
Ch.
Throw hands like Chuchu - Toriyama bars still Dr. Slump you
50 Cal no two two - Everyone duck no princess tutu
No critic it don't stink - Oh - but it go doot doot doo
Speedholes in ya hood - transparent everyone can see through you
V1.
Three things for sure and four things for certain
Five fingers of death couldn't leave me hurtin
I stay your on six till seventh heaven
Cause I eight these bars like a nine unleadin'
So Pearl Jam with a perfect Ten
Like Spinal tap turned up to eleven
Rode twelve speeds even past thirteen
But there can be only one on the path headin'
Highlander what can I say
Live forever or die by the blades
Difficulties in the choices I made
Lay low never in a escalade
No home deep in the palisades
Just stay grindin' refinin' a trade
Or fly g5s through clear blue sky
Only have one choice, one glaring way
v2.
So I gotta get these bands up
Need a whole goddamn crowd with hands up
Call out loud want to hear that answer
Response so large no tiny dancers
Know I'm the boss like Tony Danza
From the start to the final stanzas
No side eye from the public's glances
As every note I sigh entrances
From the intro to the final sentence
Took these hits till I was defenseless
Recognize I won't know acceptance
Own blood hates my immense offenses
Held back words were too expensive
Didn't ask me what my intent is
Spent 10 years diggin' in these trenches
Now I'm throwin' in monkey wrenches

Lain In The Drain
01:42
|

ch.
I don't gotta lane in the game
Cause I'm not Lain in the game
Catch what I'm sayin?
I don't gotta lane in the game
Cause I'm not Lain in the game
Insane in the brain
I don't gotta lane in the game
Cause I'm not Lain in the game
Catch what I'm sayin?
I don't gotta lane in the game
Cause I'm not Lain in the game
I'm layin in the drain
v.
Touched the bubble's edges no break through
And even repetitions and take twos
Cannot pierce the heavens nor make me
Into something people could embrace see
I've seen the scale I could never know
Heights beyond which I could never grow
Nothing I can buy helps me get it no
I need a lot more than better flow
No Ethereum, just got ethered son
Choked out, yet it's not a breather one
Problematic references a teaser huh?!
Veruca salty cause I let it seether huh?!
Still I'm caught lackin any fire man
Feelin I'm not trackin, feelin dire damn
Trapped inside a web, no Spider-Man
Wrapped up in my head, despite a plan

Imposter Syndrome
02:53
|
|||
V1.
...Those whining about phonies really ain't real
Holding insecurities, last name should be Caulfield
Oughta get some therapy, won't because they caught feels
Friendships lackin' clarity, cause they keep their thoughts sealed
Only talk it out with bots with preset conclusions
Wonder why it don't feel better, only more confusion
Never give it all they got, self-narrowing solutions
Cannot cope with all these thoughts, too many intrusions
Cannot even channel that denial into actions
Envious of everyone who chased their satisfaction
Lying to themselves until their memory's redaction
Always sliding backward cause their drive is lackin' traction
Pre-ch:
Can't pretend that they ain't better than ML
Influence plain, not ori-gi-nal
Condescend like they're not a xerox
Serials filed off the styles, they're all talk
Ch. (x2)
... It's imposter syndrome
... Can't be washed if they never been one
... It's imposter syndrome
... Big talk though they never once won
V2.
...Leave it all to chance cause it's safer
Or at least when it fails, they're ain't one to blame sir
Never read playthroughs, button mashin' gamer
Easy self-deprecation of a real player
Everyone else's fault that they weren't fillin' it
No because someone didn't do due diligence
Swear to themself that they're out their killin' it
But there's no else but themself whose feelin' it
Bucks passed so long as the bucks last
If things ain't a struggle no reason to duck fast
The emotions muddled, sincerity trucked past
Just lock it on a track, remix it, then chuck that

2AM At Denny's
03:23
|
|||
V1.
I used to move with impunity knowledge
Nothin' could hurt me back in community college
Stayed in a groove even when failin' my classes
Grindin' shifts at work, though it's kickin' my asses
Learned to stop bein' afraid of my own rizz
Learned to speak up and when to just let it live
Learned to parlay an open into a check mate
Learned to chill out even when ships wrecked mate
Very darin' to learn that not every pairin' lasts
To stop starin' backwards and leave it in past
To be there in the moment, and present when it matters
Real trauma's what happens when ya less than a batter
Better swing and miss, than never swung at all
At the same age today can't imagine I'd call
A generation with decks stacked against them
Can't fault them, they face a higher fence, damn
Ch. (x2)
I can't imagine that
I'd ever run it back
I barely got it made
I can't fathom today
Br.
I can't fathom today
V2.
I know I'm weak can't imagine I'd do what they did
I was barely built for the way I chose to live
These days I don't know if I'd even have choices
Never been that great at using proper voices
Couldn't speak up, it took a lotta social exposure
A lot highs and lows, with absence of closure
But what if I stayed inside makin no beginnins?
Sure I might not die, but is that life livin?
Low barrier to entry just mean there's no protections
No guard or sentry, just facin' a century's rejections
Complexity's also makin' a path for good connections
Deeper self-reflection and carvin' new directions
Could I have grown up without chillin' out at conventions?
Without Anime Kingdoms, and bowlin in Renton?
Would it all be illusions without Illuzionz?
Without 2 A.M. at Denny's, do I stay losin?

You just want the hits
You don't want anything else, yeah

If you're rappin for the views
Might as well jump to the coda
If you're rappin for the views
Might as well jump off it's over
V1.
I ain't gonna try to pretend,
I'm just goin right for the ends
Renewed again
Schlock even fans won't defend
Focus on the bag hella zen
Denyin trends
Forty X years on the board
Quick with mixed metaphors
Blow out your doors
Shoulda stayed four to floor
Instead I lie never score
Viewers deplore
Shoulda known that's how the game pop
Big names shouted like a name drop
Deep cuts shamed never came off
Coulda owned banks had a chain locked
Instead of fallin off like game stop
Coulda been ballin had a reign not
Surprised that my lane of Lain talk
Isn't optimized for fame talk
v2.
I ain't tryin to dump on ya clique
I ain't tryin to pump up the kicks
Metrics n' tricks
Know I ain't the right type of sick
Sticky opposite of a slick
Type of a kid
Always so unlikely to live
Fallin right out of the sieve
Hittin the bricks
Never quite the type to forgive
Nothin representative
In what I said
Upbeat but it's all dark patterns
But gotta get the rings like saturn
Or maybe like Sonic? doesn't matter
Gotta find the top of the ladder
Gotta do it all for the clickbait
Gotta get involved with the big weight
Algorithm solved for big stake
Fans all enthralled but it's all fake

xmas wish list feel so irrelevant
all I want for halloween is a 12 foot skeleton
(gimme da bonez)
v.
spooky szn (x3)
I don't need a reason (x2)
I go to the depot (x2)
I just blow some bands on some boney people
I just put it
'Round da house (x2)
Scares off all da neighbors scares off all da mouse
No one ever likes it they just stay alone
They don't wanna get in the spooky zone
Keep it in the yard like year 'round
Bluetooth speaker so it makin sounds
Keep in the year in any weather
No front yard lookin any better
Know it give the whole block nightmares
And it's starin at them right there
Low-key I been makin' hella friends
Thanks 2 da 12 foot skeleton

Artifact
03:08
|
|||
Ch.
Everythin' I made
Everythin' I say
Won't matter for long
It'll fade away
Just another pin
Model error again
My lil artifacts
Breakin everythin
V1.
Mis-tagged in the input
Mistake in your output
Remove from the systems
Recalculate rhythms
Bad path and a valley
Next pass you'll re-tally
Refactor a schism
Tailor's refit them
Outlier in the data
A liar that betrays ya
That's breakin the bell curve
A trend that ya must curb
Rebend to base line
Filter on the face time
It's too late to hell swerve
Dark souls, distrust words
V2.
Some enshrine forever
Code never severed
Perfect for the norm
Fits well in the swarm
Other bits less treasured
Even worse when clever
Getting lost in the storm
Left cold never warm
Trapped in insistence
To be more consistent
No place for resistance
No light there to glisten
No lowlights or highlights
No nightmares or nightlife
No place for the limelight
Lock step everytime right

Swinging With My Caddy
02:48
|
|||
Ch.
Swing on em from the back nine: Birdie Wing
Rainbow bullets rainin down, you can't tell me anything
Catch with me a club, then I catch you with a club
It's no wonder all the debutantes wanna show me love
And I be swinging with my caddy / swinging with my caddy
swinging with my caddy / I be swinging with my caddy
I'm a, hard hitter, swinging with my caddy
swinging with my caddy / I be swinging with my caddy
V1.
Did everything without a true identity
Gotta keep the ship right, pressure weighing heavily
Many mouths to feed, folks to keep off the streets
So I gotta bet it all that I'll never know defeat
All I do is sink shots, hit em the stick
Takes a lot of balls, but I follow through on it
Keep shawty enthralled who could maybe come equipped
Cause she matches every stroke, even my made heart skip
Steady with the bag, nine irons, drivers
Hustled all these old boys, leaving no survivors
Underworld approaches, wanna leave me scarred
But my enemies are friends, still shootin under par
Young Eve, breaking hearts, bustin wallets down
Blue bullets too direct, oh they wanna shoot me now
Show me my opponent, huh? goth girls, snakes n' clowns
Brand new passport got me out the underground
V2.
New country, new city, same goals
New curve to my swing, dropping right by the hole
Some rich kids love me, others wanna leave me told
No caddy but my caddy always feeding me with gold
Breaking players souls with my method of attack
Rainin down red, drop em high, run em back
Crackin under pressure, shockin em like lightenin
For me never frightenin, born hard like di-a-monds
Trained hard every day despite lacking memories
Shots goin long, never knowin my pedigree
I'm a earn more than my fair share, portions
Slices bought slices and a home for these orphans
Bird in flight, but rather soar like a eagle
Floss albatross, possessed like I'm evil
Bogey boys out here, you gotta be kidding me
I shatter my opponents to pieces, literally
