lyrics

[Bridge]
…Yo I’ma stay making playless playlists
…Cuz I ain’t really on my way to make it
…And I ain’t really made for faking famous
…So I’ma stay awake in vacant basements

[Verse 1]
Every time I quit music, I go get back right into it
Writing loopy lunatic movements, guess I’m quite the stupid
Fucker cuz I love it more than other more constructive uses
Of my time, but rhyming’s proven right to soothe the whiny nuisance
Who is I, who am I to write about clearer vision?
Smear the condensation away so I can continue spitting
Staring in the mirror so I can look at my lyricism
Hear the rhythm, lyrical slithering so you fear the venom
When I bare my teeth, am I scared to speak? Nah dude
This could be the jam of the week on repeat with all you
But all you all put on are all these awful installed tunes
Instead of rocking out to Sauce, I’m raw with the volume, look

[Chorus]
I’ma stay awake in vacant basements
Yeah, I’ma stay awake in vacant basements
Know what I’m saying? I’ma make a statement
So I’ma stay awake in vacant basements

[Verse 2]
I have yet to make a dime of profit from my raw spit
If I hustled just as often as this nonsense I’d be awesome
And you’d know it, but at the moment I’m just awesome in the darkness
Barking bars with all this confidence, but honestly I’m modest
To a fault… I won’t brag to you
“Oh you rap, do you?” Yeah, but I won’t blast new tunes
Hollering obnoxiously that I spit fucking crack used to
Stab your rag doll in the back with a thumbtack, voodoo
I’m not the radio, I won’t fucking brainwash
This hate into your brainwaves, I’ll let you be lame-sauce
I’ll let you be fake-hard and fake-boss while taking off
With anything that fame tosses at your face that ain’t Sauce

[Verse 3]
Look, I still got it bro, even though I’m mighty old
Vice grip on the brightest lightning nice-spit haiku, tightest hold
I’ll let go of flowing poems only when it’s time to go
Only when it’s time to float back home alone dying’s boat
But I can’t imagine not having a pad to rap in
If it happened, I would fashion a back-alley shack to nap in
After tracking out the baddest of Matt-isms snazz and having
It mastered back in the lab where the madmen have their contraptions
Am I a has-been? When was I ever being?
I spit this shit by my lonely only to keep on breathing
So every heathen who heeds the words that my neck is screaming
Better be a nether-demon set on stealing record pieces, peace
