fan first 01:51
grind inside the lab until the plan works  i cain't afford to be a fan first  see the sand dirt caked upon the shoes pants and shirt  they need'n attention span spurt  so they can stay upon the blee-ding edge or see they cheese n bread transferred  this is the essence of the man's work   using my hands until the grands appear residual money piling up and i'm just standing here surely stance is clear explosives placed in your mansions inside the chandeliers chairs, lamps, sandals n cans of beer i gotta erase the smile off ya face it's not novelty i'm not for the chase i stop n i wait patience is the greatest virtue   hatred tends to break the circle weathered bonds made fraternal severed ties in a cold world depraved of thermals until the volcano ash made it fertile

clutch 03:02
your most, staunch protections easily circumvented a simple matter of determining your earthly limits  we see through the subterfuge and nerdy gimmicks your history's a trail of false starts and nervous pivots  you hit the purple, grimace eating a burger, winded mental circuits bent none of this will serve your interests  this sell sword been shelved more than retail store chores shoulda been working on my rewards score or i shoulda gorged more  dealt wit emotions daily and maybe if you visited yours more you wouldn't have been salty seven years and four score  having lore wores with self proclaimed war lords over your poor rapport . never ignore the force nor, those showing more remorse  .peace to all the great thinkers who werepoor at sports it's par for the course hey hey we are the monkeys with torch who also scorched the porchflooring a Porsche bro bro this cart is before the horse  cuz it got, horses under hood plus a GPS no such thing as an easy test   your life is, like milk spilled in a CVS or a diarrhea soaked greasy mess we the best  at it, without khaled without malice i admit to pushing tedious routes thru uneasiness   making smarter moves when you see me less  that's the hallmark ofguarding the all-spark no such thing as a small part it rarely took a lot more than rhythms for me to leave an inordinate amount of gory victims with sword incisions made a  slow stab so , crabs don't, grab at the riches in my vocab resulting in prose poorly written  string me along wit all the meaningless songs n yet wit all them dangling threads  I'm pretty sure you'd still bore a kitten he God of porcelain is accepting his offerings often we head locking a hydra lopping the tentacles off em  or giving orders from the roof of an art base ........or in the coupe in a car chase while losing pursuers who wanna scoop us up n leave us in the nude in a dark space find me watching movies at park place  dissecting cinema understanding the angles  n what i plan to untangle n punish damage n strangle  are harbingers of loss fear doubt i'm one wit da angels  full of grace cuz i'm grateful  still

bro i'm only bound to answer to "your holiness"  the bottle looking like the answer to the loneliness it ain't nothing they got you was supposed to get ..cuz at the time, you wasn't close to fit  ....your every step to the moment was erroneous  .......found complacency in your coziness  i'm not the one to hold your stunted growth against that's why i guess i'm a cancer to known associates  so many friends made past tense by cursory impulses, plucked from fast lips  snap decisions made abrash incision via collisions of mental blades slash division killing the venison then's it's weighed dearly departed clearly we've started the winter stage  figures are frozen windows are closed and the dinner's laid  out on the table so have a sip of this lemonade  finish the plate sleep n these bed sheets when it's made

about

most of this stuff is from 2017. maybe one thing from 2016.

often times when i'm demoing stuff, i'll write most of it then, i'll try to freestyle the last 4-6 bars in order to come up with an ending or a new idea on the fly. a lot of these verses end a little awkwardly because they're technically not done lol.

the newest thing on here is probably from 2019.

these are all ideas that i started and would probably never finish.

so, here you go. and here's to letting go.

i hope you enjoy them. grab one or grab all. put them in a shuffling playlist of other things you like.

be safe. wash hands. stay home if you can.


the cover picture is from a quick stay in an airbnb in chicago during 2017.
