    Cassette + Digital Album

    you get the entire project plus an additional 10-ish minutes of unreleased instrumental music.


    first time "mass producing" a cassette myself, so the presentation might reflect that. i'd like to release more cassettes in the future. the plan is to refine this process with each iteration.

    these tapes are clear and about 40 minutes long. there may or may not be a couple surprises that come with the tape as well. you didn't ask for any but, whatever.

    only shipping in these United States of America. why? because i think shipping outside the US might end up costing more than the tape. if i'm wrong, please hit me on twitter or something and let me know how i can get a tape to you.

    ships within 10 days of order placement.

about

this song reminds me of mike eagle's advice raps, except it's not as good because it doesn't even make sense to me. but i didn't ask for this and neither did you. bye, homies.

lyrics

i know you didn't ask for my opinion on the matter
i been scouring the data for some hours and i had to

sit you down
and give you some informational cue cards
found out that solving my own problems is too hard

yall folks can be my surrogate sims
instead of learning to swim i put the burden on them

and i can still be the reason why the herd is so thin
the game is broken i still serve it a gem

see all my customers bought it
with this uncomfortable logic
you'll be able to run for republican office

here's a few rules to live your life by
never walk streets, you might get caught in a drive by

submit those expense reports, itemized
act your age and stop acting your diaper size

instead of thinking 'bout having sex wit dem wet freaks
exercise enough to reduce your excess neck meat

change your diet up, next week
don't fry it up, matter fact you should eat less meat
meditate, less tweets

start a journal up, maybe make a vision board
and don't fill it up with silly pictures of whips and swords

get some more constructive hobbies
than ducking jobs to suck and slob seductive bodies

at least keep it out the public view
or pay for it like truckers do when you wanna bust your goo


have brunch with an estranged cousin
and don't invite other fam 'cause
you gotta alienate someone

the hashtag six-zeroed sheep
dishing out zero sleep
keeping the crib smelling like gyro meat

pick a bedtime, stick to it
visit the doctor if your penis is inexplicably
dripping thick fluid

that's not a feature of its normal operation
promptly arrive at the start of your formal occupation

think of sleep as a form of concentration
think of being cheap as a war on ostentatiousness

and check your breath after each meal
the government should issue free mouthwash refills

maybe pop a few mints until you get home
where you can brush your teeth and build the paste into a thick foam

be a good sportsman
don't dance in the end zone
don't use romance from the friendzone

since they raised the price you should cancel the netflix
and don't read snarky blog articles for sex tips `

do everything i say
and make it snappy
do everything today

see, i'm the one like 3 dividing 3
and your mama say i'm fun like Keegan Michael Key

with a Neo Geo console
cuz i keep it lighter than the O-V-O honcho
you owe me those nachos

maybe i would play it straighter if i had a better buzz
but i never fit like that legendary leather glove

interpersonally operating like the devil does
i just wanna see the world turn pebble dust

i just wanna see the world burn
level up
spread confusion like nutella yes
i set you up

i'm really a sewer urchin in a person suit
too concerned with herbs and returning to my urban roots
