about

everybody wanna be Larenz but don't nobody wanna be Larenz.

lyrics

uh oh
not another fucking tortured artist type
plus, the rapper archetype?
they think they had the hardest life

watch him turn the starkest white
nobody cares how hard he writes
.he's kinda noble but that ain't what global markets like

if they took some smarter steps
they could be the architects of happiness though mostly
know they aren't a threat

large and yet massive as his problems become
the prodigal son returns burned, welcomed
by the loving father and followers run

to greet him gleefully tell me what do you see in he
if he could he would vibrate at higher
frequencies

but he's deep in these swamps
it's easy for dirt to stick to your frame
salutations for patience cleaning it all off

the small talk's enlarged in a scope
and revealed as the straw that broke the
camel's back
confounded, how'd he manage that?

the verse is serious
the chorus is silliness
they don't know how legit he is at fitting these sentences

in 16 measure 4/4 timed increments
at various tempos
a stylistic myriad

wait, stop boasting
grab the star charts and plot motions
keep a hard heart, concoct potions

rappers are aardvark like
competent suckers
i've discovered
but still none can stop the lava,
hot molten

...they know him as a terrible man who goes iberico ham
playing unbearable jams

and he would share if he could
but he can't cuz he chose not to
cuz most of yall unexposed nosferatu
