Back by popular demand Dewey Finn of rap, School of Rock when I sock it to the man Or at least stick it to him, when I inflict a wound I hope he’s got insurance in his hospital plan Hop into the van and I roll down the block Stole a beat from Asher Roth, I’d forgotten ‘bout him But if I can remember he said he loved college And I acknowledge that that song was a jam Call me Eli Roth, I stay hostile (Hostel) To snobs who think my shit is awfully bland I’m on the mic rockin’ it again Even though my skin is cotangent, the opposite of tan Never been a bore when I rap, I’m theatric Tryna help kids, you could say I’m pediatric Got a lotta goals like a hockey hat trick You don’t know my music you must live under a rock, Patrick Like Narnia my stuff is all chronicled If you can’t see it then invest in a monocle Coins in your pillow, you’re sleepin’ on a pot of gold Sickest Asian rapper since Dumbfoundead caught a cold Lotta jokes, lotta puns, lotta punchlines Screw around but get it done when it’s crunchtime And when it’s lunchtime, I’m no phony I’m only gonna focus on my craft (Kraft), macaroni I might keep it serious at times or deliriously rhyme in the mirror And you’re hearing the product of me as hot as a pot of coffee And off of my rocker probably an oddity they spotted me in Reno, Nevada reading the Odyssey In a Honda Miata complaining 'bout the economy and yada yada Honey you gotta see it’s as funny as comedy he’s a lonely anomaly but it’s only a novelty if he doesn’t spit it honestly and properly Yo, fuck havin’ a dull minute Yo, fuck calculus, no limits Some kids hate my music like it’s spinach But I stay movin’, gif image Oh hey there, thanks so much for checking out my new mixtape! I really do appreciate it. I'm just trying to have some fun right now. Hope you enjoy the ride. No matter where he goes he’s a foreign kid But invite him and see if he’s a boring kid Got the vitamin C like oranges Not part of the machine like Florence is But maybe some day they’ll torrent this I’m from Oregon like Portland is And I’m likin’ the truth when performing this Had a mic in the womb, I was born for this

I’ve never been a rich kid; I’m glad I can say that Parents have debt they have to add up to pay back But I benefit from never havin’ a Maybach I remember feelin’ very affluent way back As a young kid when the money felt bigger Havin’ 5 dollars kinda felt like five figures And I thought that I could buy an entire aisle at Best Buy, yeah But is that the best idea? I wanted the new toy or game on the shelf Seeking the fleeting joy that came from the wealth They mass market products and exploit cheap labor To make toys we forget about a week later And we didn’t even like ‘em that much when we bought ‘em But we had to have it ‘cause our neighbors just got ‘em Listen to the melody, money it ain’t the enemy But it just ain’t the remedy, damn it I know I’ll never be [Chorus: Lorde] And we’ll never be Royals (Royals) It don’t run in our blood That kind of luck’s just ain’t for us We crave a different kind of buzz Let me be your ruler (ruler) You can call me queen bee And baby I’ll rule Let me live that fantasy Hip-hop has a history of glorifying riches It evolved in response to impoverished conditions And as kid hearing the message I didn’t get it Not something I experienced but Jay-Z said it “If you grew up with holes in your zapatos You'd celebrate the minute you was havin’ dough” So while some rappers focus on material concepts You can’t rob people of historical context And I’m next in the line of those who co-opt flows hop to shows, rock the clothes but do not know What’s it’s like lookin’ down the barrel of a firehose What’s like calling one room your entire home So who am I to complain, it’s madness My high school was underfunded but we still had classes They taught me facts so I learned to stay true and And be a humble man too, like my friend Andrew Right Drew? You gotta know what it takes to succeed We don’t have to be royals, we have what we need [Chorus]

[Chorus: Gradient] Keep it steady when we’re on the beat Smash that new track When it’s Ogar Burl and me Cats ask who’s that When the beat make you tap your feet That’s that boom bap Why hello, we’ll be your MCs for today! Stay rappin’ it right When we grabbin’ the mic [Verse 1: Ogar Burl] And when I'm grabbin' the mic Sit back and listen if you're lackin' the fight You can bite raps, or you can think of where your life's at Turn it into poetry and burn it to ignite that I quite fast bypass half-assed plots Then flare up the next with the fire that I've got I've got necks goin', noddin' heads 'til they strain And pass the controller; I've got next game I play an emcee like Tetris, get it? When the pieces come together, it's connected I tested the water when I jumped the hell in You fell in and froze and you're slowly meltin' You dig your own grave, I make you lay down could say that I'm the bully on the playground Yo, it ain't way profound, it's just better So flock to the beat, sheep cede to the shepherd [Chorus] [Verse 2: Gradient] And when I’m grabbin’ the mic I’m like a scientist when I’m in the lab and I write Now they askin’ why is this kid rappin’ he’s white But I got love for the hip-hop I happen to bite off While Nas, KRS-One and Kool G Were rappin’ in cyphers I was crappin’ in diapers So I show respect to the men who came first I ain’t half steppin’ on a Daddy Kane verse But I got the spirit of hip-hop I mirror the tip-top You’re hearin’ my shit drop You hear me comin’ like I’m wearin’ some flip-flops And I got you noddin’ to the beat ‘till it stops The New Deal, depression remover I’m FDR, you’re President Hoover I’m like Ghostface with the clientele he’s on More bass than the Seinfeld theme song [Chorus]

This Oregonian kid is goin’ in No end when you let the flow begin So logical and very geological the way I’ve Rocked flows since the Devonian They see me, the flow way speedy I make you wanna throw away your Lil Wayne CD Copy of the Carter IV See me hoppin’ in the car door, for the hell of it I’ll never stay relevant I’m more like an elephant who stands in the middle of a room ‘Cause I never get mentioned I sit on the bench and I discovered a penchant for truth I’m Hagrid, with a big beard I’m half man half beast here You’re a centaur that got not rear Fuck a Dementor, I got no fear When people don’t like your flow They'll say you’re like a clone But never would they write their own I might condone for you to never let another motherfucker tell you what is right or wrong When their intention is not to mention how you can strive for a bit of self-improvement Nah, they just wanna make you feel bad when you spit the real rap and they never do shit Without music, I might lose it, it’s a bit of a drug, I abuse it Confused at how life used to be so basic And now I'm stressed on an everyday basis But I listen to the 808 bass kick Maybe someone listening can relate to this, So I make shit and try to make sure that everything I say’s sick That kid raps? I didn’t know But always knew that he was very analytical They look down and they lower their eyes So surprised, my rhyme’s so organized Grew up in the 541 so I might go run In the forest and hide from my fears I’m tired of wipin’ my tears Time to switch gears, and rhyme with my peers but I’m better than ninety percent of the cleverest ladies and gentlemen when I’m spitting and I’m coming for the other ten You can bet I’m gonna get ‘em in a minute and I’m never gonna quit, I got adrenaline up in the pen Show up, gotta make it blow, fit the quota, then I go bust and they go nuts Hold up I rock the mic from Oregon to Minnesota

I don’t wanna be by myself Don’t wanna be by myself this time [Verse 1: Gradient] To the window, to the wall We got the crowd spillin’ out to the hall I say what up to a couple of guys When they see me at the party they’re a little surprised But I worked hard every day of the week and And I’ll go hard every day of the weekend Bring your best friend, bring your other friend We’ll get the place shut down like the government No fights man we ain’t havin’ none of that A lampshade, I can wear it as another hat! No rules, I might just twerk It’s martial (Marshall) law, I gotta go Berzerk I’ve been a bad child, get no dessert And it's midnight now, there go the shirts [Pre-chorus] Let’s go insane and get the party started We’re 'bout to go crazy Like bulls raging till we’re all departed Shout-out to Scorcese [Chorus] I don’t wanna be by myself Don’t wanna be by myself this time ‘Cause I’m getting’ loud with my friends Stayin’ out ‘til the end of the night [Verse 2: Brian Steveson] I’m so dope in the club like a bat full of chronic Bond so electric, call it ionic Ride in on my Schwinn, with a helmet and my kneepads Save the hashtags for the bottom of my keypad Now is not the night to sit home and lament 'Cause tonight, Imma go hard like cement Party all night, you know it be poppin People shout my name when they see me walk in *spoken “Hey’ it’s Brian.”* Drink Kool-Aid and lose my pants Act a fool when I do the Gangnam Style dance No sleep 'till Brooklyn, fight for your right Don’t try to stop us 'cause there’s no end in sight We’re dancing, laughing and conga-lining So please don’t stop the music 'Till our eyes are wide shut, when the sun is shining Shout out to Stanley Kubrick [Chorus] [Verse 3: Gradient] It's gettin' kinda hot and I probably oughta hydrate Put my cup down and I see the water vibrate (Is it one or two o’clock? Neighbors gettin’ irate) NO3! Call that nitrate Loud music got me feelin’ alive Like Kendrick said, don’t kill my vibe Go home with the music still in my head And tomorrow we’ll do it all over again [Pre-chorus] [Chorus]

[Verse 1: Dekay] Had something inside, though he couldn’t provide A wifey and a kid, and for those two he’d die Swallow his pride and do what he had to do Just to make it through the day to day bullshit they pitch at you Though he’s keepin’ his hands up and he’s hittin’ hard Sometimes life throws curves and stitches leave scars But it doesn’t matter though when the love you’ve got will never fold even when flush and anger rush, you never give up You never let go, ‘cause everybody knows Once the story’s told and the curtain’s closed that you gotta go Even with a ticket to the next show You’re never cold with a hand to hold And that boy needs you so You better stand up, even when rushed With a blitzkrieg of bad luck You can’t stand stuck, man up Or even woman up too, with that Kung Fu Iron fists and Lucy Liu, crouching ego hidden passion, K. West fashion Guns blazin’ smashin’, kickin’ ass and Chewin’ bubblegum can be troublesome when you’re out that Big League Chew, and when Power Rangers shoot at you like “pew pew pew!” Who knew that shit you dropped was pee-ewe And this kid’s doe, and mares eat oats, I’ll probably eat ivy too, ‘cause I’m a grimy dude Who likes limey food like ceviche and sopes too And plus I’m super serious on April fools [Chorus: Lovefoxxx] There's something inside you It's hard to explain They're talking about you, boy But you're still the same [Repeat] [Verse 2: Gradient] There’s something inside me that needs to release I’m hungry inside but rhymin’ is what’s feedin’ the beast While frequently I’m seekin’ to be keepin’ the peace An easily defeated MC I’m ceasin’ to be And luckily I have a few that’s believin’ in me And wanna hear the shit I say when I’m speakin’ on beats It might be a bit redundant but I’ll make it repeat I’m leavin’ everything on the table I saved you a seat So rest in peace, I’m blessed to be Feelin’ so alive, right? The attention is kinda sour Call it limelight Limestone, mind blown, I’m on Rhyme Zone Nice flow, let it bleed, type O negative Get a sedative, it's a good verse, pretend it is Euthanize the animal inside, no, let it live I invented this, like Edison Bet it is complex, Oedipus I’m next in a long succession Of awkward men who would not address The consequence of talking nonsense Like me. With leftovers who the best? I stay hungry, Budapest A moral lesson, stay low-key (Loki) like Thor’s brethren Furious Curious George or Costanza Deviate from the stanza, I make advances Stole a line from Acid Rap, You could say I take Chance’s [Chorus]

[Verse 1: Gradient] Before the Red Sox lifted the Bambino curse Before a childish Donald ever spit a Gambino verse Before Obama gave a speech at the DNC and proceeded to inconvenience the GOP and its leaders who dream to see the day that he’ll be deceased or at least impeached Before they split us and divided with Citizens United Back when pot smokers in Colorado had to hide it Before Miley Cyrus had ever tried it I been tryin’ to be the best version of myself Sacrificing physical and mental health For the things that my soul longs for I used to wait so long for an opportunity to knock on my front lawn door But it was all wrong consequences fall on you If you do not crawl through; if you want it Don’t be caught up in the politics, media, all of the things Be a follower but be one who follows a dream I ain’t trying to preach or be profound I've just found that some lessons aren’t leather-bound You can sit around askin’ how they do it Or you can follow your passions, maybe make music Two of us are doing that – me and Sammy Warm Hands You can learn to take your life into your own hands It ain’t easy believe me, it’s just the hardest thing But the world’s waiting to receive what you’re gonna bring I don’t think I have time to wait around anymore [x4] [Verse 2: Sammy Warm Hands] Before Russell and Darryl and Jay Mizell Were famous, rocking Adidas apparel and raising hell Before Steve made jobs and iPods sell Before Hugh Hefner was ever chasing tail Every acclaimed face had to blaze a trail They just made the decision and weren’t afraid to fail To face defeat and still reach the bravest feat From Farmers Blvd on to Beacon Street We cease to be defined by the lines We feast our eyes on the brighter side Blinded by the plight? Strife is multiplied So either climb the high road or hope to die Take your time, find a place to hide – rest easy ‘Cause you’re ready for everything that life leads Being it higher education or Exiled weekly You can reach your dreams if you believe it deeply I ain’t trying to preach or be profound I’ve just found that some lessons aren’t leather-bound You can sit around asking how they do it Or you can follow your passions, maybe make music Two of us are doing that – me and Gradient Only saying don’t stop until you’re rocking stadiums It ain’t easy believe me, it’s the hardest thing But the world’s patiently waiting for what you’re offering

[Verse 1: Gradient] Yo, since day one I oughta confess I’ve been on my grind to find a lotta success Many are content to just bottle the stress But there’s a couple of problems we gotta address They might say that you need to fit a size two They might say that you need to disguise who you love or they’ll say that it’s sinful or untrue But your joy is contingent upon you When it makes you feel angry and stressful Stomach twists into knots like a pretzel On the days when the pain is so dreadful Block out the hate with some headphones, yeah 'Cause even when your day goes wrong You can still listen to your favorite song Forget about how arrogant they are While you rock the fuck out and play air guitar Look, ‘cause no offense to all my best friends But music is my all-time best friend It’s therapy, that’s why I perform this Give up for Wax on the chorus, let’s go! [Chorus: Wax] Day by day I just try to solidify my little life (And the trumpets blow) Day by day I just try to solidify my little life Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah [Verse 2: Wax] Yo, the world’s full of pain and misery I feel it everyday even when I don’t project it visibly It’s something I wasn’t prepared for Went to the music, it asked what I was there for I said I came for the healing I came so my fam won’t have to see me hang from the ceiling Came for the pain that I’m feeling I came for the same reason you say God’s name when you’re kneeling 'Cause happiness is the destiny And feeling this good equals success to me man I can’t even express this fucking sentiment It’s better than any drug I’ve ever experimented with Better than X and it’s better than sex And it’s better than checks the highest paid man ever collects It’s better than an orgasm, it lasts way longer Every song we’re on makes me stronger [Chorus] [Verse 3: Gradient] Just know that matter how active the fools get You don’t have to react to the bullshit You can counteract how they’re actin’ abusive And one day you might laugh in amusement I been through it and I’m rappin’ the true shit Turn the volume to the max and just lose it Gradient and Wax on the track, and we do spit Packin’ the room, let’s get back to the music [Chorus x2]
