Get 'em, Gradient!
[Verse 1:]
Evidently he got the hardest beats
Come to find out I got the dopest bars
Evidently he got the dopest beats
It just so happens I got the hardest bars
So what the fuck that mean? We raw
It don’t matter what we brought
They know what the fuck we on
What kinda song
Motown soul or a slow roller
To hit like Hulk Hogan, but if you want
I could be a soldier, go put me on a poster
I’m livin ‘like I’m ‘posed to, but nope, I cannot
Back down when I’m on a track now
Doin’ it for Track Town, rappin’ laps around y ’all
Lemme be sincere
The puzzle be missing many pieces here
Steady frontin’ like you runnin’ from somethin’
So did you get to focus on your own needs this year?
I’m the one the whole species fear
It never smells like feces near
Cuz I shit gold nuggets and I got a few leprechauns
Pickin’ up all the pieces here
Practice like AI (AI!)
Design like KI (KI!)
Your set just cleared the room
So I’mma grab the mic and say “May I?”
I don’t even care what the song is about
Don’t even listen to what I’m talkin’ about
I'm eatin' Chicken on the next album
Provin’ I can still rap with cock in the mouth
What kinda Juggalo would I be
If I obsessed over what y’all think of me?
When I lived in my car with two employers
I struggled to keep all my clothing clean
Kinda shy when ya notice me
But I’m tryna be a GOAT on the Moda screen
More soul than the Otis beat
And chocolate fountains don’t flow this sweet
[Hook:]
Covid came, but I’m stopped by no disease
On my way home, I’ll cop some groceries
At the show it’s no bag of rosaries
I brought all tomato for you to throw at me
Alternate on the flow, I hope to be
Among the great, I’m no joke, don’t poke at me
At the show it’s no bag of rosaries
I brought all tomato for you to throw at me
[Verse 2:]
And now I thank god they ain’t rot
It don’t matter what we brought
They know what the fuck we on
What kinda song
Motown soul or a slow roller
To hit like Hulk Hogan, but if you want
I could be the menace
Who meant it, what I said in every silly little sentence
Your jaw wide open and I’m still talkin’
So I guess that makes me a dentist
You know the drill!
Same time tomorrow
We got more hollow crap for you to follow!
Distraction addicts
Just like the madman at Mar-o-Lago
I’ve heard the club is lit
I wrote a book, one day I’ll publish it
But this Tuesday, 2/22
Wrote a few to just prove I run the shit
That’s factual
(And now for something completely different)

Ultimatum (I Ate 'Em)
02:22
|

[Verse 1:]
I can describe my rivals with a single word: unimpressive
Evaluate your own shortcomings, I’m done assessin’
Beatles on the rooftop, I’m a public blessin’
They feed us Elvis Presley while we needin’ Billy Preston
Get Back to bling and Lean Wit It, Rock Wit It
I’m local, you’re not in the scene, you ain’t hot wit it
I leave ‘em stupefied, you leave ‘em in a lifeless stupor
You don’t ride for your city just 'cause you drive for Uber
And you ain’t stackin’ a stupid amount in salaries
I’m gettin’ fat from refusal of countin’ calories
My waistline is on some ramen embrace time
I’m still iconic as a Chili Peppers bassline
[Hook:]
Two little devils try to whisper in my ear
What I do might depend on which one that I hear
One is tellin’ me, "play the nice guy for a while"
While the other’s sayin’ "save your energy, don’t ever smile"
Ultimatum!
These fishes takin’ the bait until I fileted ‘em
No more chickens are cluckin’ after I ate ‘em
[Verse 2:]
So go and make your thesis claim
You pick my pronoun! Say he or they or she’s insane
I keep it low down, you feel it when the speakers shake
We keep it deep as tectonics, so you can pass the plate
That’s my state, we eatin’ but you may have to wait
These SNAP benefits barely gettin’ us half the way
Social services gettin’ harder to navigate
Repudiate the civic duty that they abdicate
And if they make ya take a UA for food stamps
Drop a doody in the urine cup right out the gate
I bet they still say “Let’s take it to the lab and wait”
The troubles of our government, need I elaborate?
Beat from Croz K, formerly Odar
We makin’ inroads like reformin’ the ODOT
Came a long way from that Minnesota
You found an Oregonian who has better flow? Nah!
The prime product, my lines brought up by high scholars
So defy logic and try and stop it, I’ll grind harder
Still in school for the Masters
They knew I’d do it when I took my name from a math term
Been half-assin', skatin’ by, no half-pipin’
Dopest rapper in Oregon, time to act like it
But I ain’t take a single bit of good for granted
I’m never bitter, gotta get up when abandoned
Ain’t no need to be chronicling bumps and bruises
If you were smeared in college by fuckin’ losers
In 8th grade the worst post was “you’re gay”
Now we seein’ our friends’ failings in 4K!
But let ‘em hate you, 'cause nobody has to like you
I got ‘em like “Who the hell did we pass the mic 2?”
Fun fact: Lines 1 and 10 are a shout-out to Term K of the Palmer Squares! ;)
