Droughts

Long day, moments really ooze in
slow motion like a green screen explosion in a movie
lookin for that paycheck, hoping it'll do me
cuz I stretch dollars like the gomu gomu
limbs of Luffy
I know you think it's goofy
but I'm steady daydreaming/ on these spreadsheets, but your buddy stays scheming
flows killa like when Android 18 sees
human play things/ before Trunks can save cities
jump the waves with me/ you don't wanna miss me growing
everything that's comin from the brotha's gonna go in
nerdkrunk homie with Otaku flow
and Zaku strokes
rolling like a rubber set of donuts
other than the onus
I just gotta max moments
drop tracks that you will wanna cop like Ax Foley
but all nerds still react wholly enthused
like their goal's to consume
it where I attack dope beats
Yo, better keep me on your mental
you really need to keep me on your mental
I'll address that dopeness drought you just went through
flow for your open mouths, I just sent you
Yo, better keep me on your mental
you really need to keep me on your mental
I'll address that dopeness drought you just went through
flow for your open mouths, I just sent you
And who's gonna bring it like me?
nobody
make sure you get hit with high heat? Nobody
so sick you need an I/V
nobody yo who's gonna bring it like me? Nobody
And who's gonna bring it like me?
nobody
make sure you get hit with high heat? Nobody
so sick you need an I/V
nobody yo who's gonna bring it like me? Nobody
Yeah, I'm finally serious
grinding cuz time will remind you it's clearing up
no I can't recline, though my mind be delirious
and future's undefined like dividing by zero cuz
I need enough drive to consume me
shooting for the stars
and if I miss I'm still on course
cuz I'm flying where the moon be
Gravity's not an issue, I defy the George Clooney
plight that might doom me
I'm tryna stay above it
playing spin the bottle when I rap and say I love it
cuz now I'm held accountable I have to make it something
so I'm launching fire hoping you're okay with flame consumption
24 a day is nothing I be needing 36
with 8 to 5 weekly then I leave and yearn to spit
bars that will eventually see me earn a stint
paying the bills with the rap, gotta take my turn at this
Yo, better keep me on your mental
you really need to keep me on your mental
I'll address that dopeness drought you just went through
flow for your open mouths, I just sent you
Yo, better keep me on your mental
you really need to keep me on your mental
I'll address that dopeness drought you just went through
flow for your open mouths, I just sent you
And who's gonna bring it like me?
nobody
make sure you get hit with high heat? Nobody
so sick you need an I/V
nobody yo who's gonna bring it like me? Nobody
And who's gonna bring it like me?
nobody
make sure you get hit with high heat? Nobody
so sick you need an I/V
nobody yo who's gonna bring it like me? Nobody
Move like you don't know how to act
cuz you don't know if they're gonna bring the beat back
Repeat 3x

Flashing lights
habits fight
to keep me out in this active night
bass is knocking it can shake the floor
faces talking while the drank is poured
my racing heart is trying to take some more
but I feel the pull to bounce and race for doors
I don't understand why I'm here right now
obvious answer's get wasted, sure
been making music, I can make some more
at another time
maybe during a moment when the sun will shine
cuz at night everything's undefined
then procrastination gets underlined
if I work all day and I party all night for the fun I find
when does realness come into play?
say I'll get it a different day
keep praying that soon I'll hit my pace
got a bad lady in my face
deadlines, I got deadlines
bros tryna make sure I'm set, kinda
wanna guarantee that we fetch dimes
but somewhere somebody else is working
he's hungry and he's deserving
he needs money, and he senses purpose
he'll reach his before I reach mine... cause nothing deters him
no wild nights that break his focus
no regrets when those dates are over
finish goals, celebrating closure
while I'm here, inebriated posing
and all my actions cast doubt on whether I really wanna have greatness moments
that's failure
Jessica:
Is it seasonal?
Give me a reason, or
some excuses to make
I'm abusing my days
I'm afraid
And you need to know
Cause it won't even show
when you view me in raves
dodging moves I could make
I just need to
Go
I just need to go away from here
it's sucking out my soul
Desh:
I see these people, I hear excuses
I see these people, I hear excuses
Stressing from chasing the bag
Aye
Got me wildin’ in this place
Yeah
Shots and I think of my Dad
Aye
Wondering what he would say
Yeah
Dream is consuming my head
Aye
I just needed to escape
Under pressure out here rap pursuing
life ain’t really working how the pastor do it
Look I see her twerking making rapid movements
Got a needy ex and look we both be choosing
And I’m needing her too
Aye
Air smells weed and perfume
Aye
DJ like Guile with the boom
Aye
Last shot hit me in the chin like haduken
Different sides of me at odds like Ryu and Akuma
I just left the prayer and the grinding in my room huh
I never needed lots of people to teach me
but when they talk about my achievements
I seem to be leeching
I gotta be privy to the secrets
they speak and they leave me
people believing
That I'm gonna make it look easy
I’m hoping that none of them see me
after beating on my chest though
Because dreaming to keep eating is so stressful
my generations opportunities are cesspools
9 to 5 but when do I have time to be successful?
Woo
I Want to fold like Origami
Aye
Out in the lights but no Yagami
Yeah
World on my shoulders call me Kami
Aye
Yeah
At least now it feels that way
Still don’t know why I’m in this place
Can’t seem to find the strength to vacate
I just need to
Go
I just need to go away from here
it's sucking out my soul
Desh:
I see these people, I hear excuses
I see these people, I hear excuses

Planet Wreck

Step up in your party like that thing is mine
Step up in your party like that thing is mine
Ive been flexing so much I need to recline don't get offended I do this all the time
Step up in your party like this thing is mine
If you're coming with the goods you better come correct
better keep the flavor and the dose in check
You can demand those things when you can planet wreck
1:
(heavy ad libs) Travel space with gold around my face and neck
when i'm eating
what you bringing better taste correct
think you got it but I come and flip the script
I can blow your world up when I flick my wrist
I should mention that my temper is a lot
My guy alters time and history and then don't give a thought
you do not have any traction
if you step to me for action
and compassion
does not fit in the description of my job
if I'm chillin in your spot
and my visit is a prob
better get your clique to stop
'fore chopsticks are in my palms
it might sound trivial what I can use to remove you
better be generous when I need food to consume too
I'm just living like I'm used to
Hook:
Step up in your party like that thing is mine
Step up in your party like that thing is mine
I flex so much I need a minute to recline
don't get offended I do this all the time
Step up in your party like this thing is mine
If you bringing me the goods you better come correct
better keep the flavor and the dose in check
You can demand those things when you can planet wreck
2:
You know I love it when I give myself an introduction
y'all thought Buu was hard but really dude was nothing
guess I can't convince you, now I'm causing two concussions
shut you down quick if you think you really doing something
Now the only thing that's saving y'all
is if someone can go god mode and come entertain the boss
everything you know is so close to bursting in flames and all
that you'd better get somebody quick to make me change my thoughts
you should not debate the odds
cuz if I end your existence those like me
won't do a think though they might think I break the law
There is no reason that you should not listen
Cause if I do it it's over and that is a given
Hook:
Step up in your party like that thing is mine
Step up in your party like that thing is mine
Ive been flexing so much I need to recline don't get offended I do this all the time
Step up in your party like this thing is mine
If you're coming with the goods you better come correct

This has been a 26 and a half year prologue
last montage in the pilot's about to go off
Part One's coming
flip the page and read about a young man gunning
for success as he defines it
veered off the path but his destiny reminds him
he can't afford to stop and the recipe describes this
drive and consistency with just a hint of blindness
to how slim the odds are, they're definitely tiny
rest is what his mind needs
heart still aches but the blessings seen surprise him
lady after lady but he really isn't over you
swore in grad school that he had two enormous goals to view
build a music brand And then spend forever to grow with you
but that didn't work out and he refuses to go 0 for 2
it's hard to call the past done
and since October of '14
it's sure seemed
he's done with excuses you're his last one
now he puts his
Feet to the pavement
running til I can't anymore
This is my time I'm creating the doors
I said this is my time I'm creating the doors
No sense in waiting
I think I'll go after it now
Nothing's going to shackle me down
I said nothing's going to shackle me down
got to keep moving
Got to keep moving
Got to keep moving
people come and go but I know I've got to keep moving (keep repeating)
This has been my darkest year and my greatest one
I thought I'd feel more pain, I'm remaining numb
at the same time forward momentum
speeding up speeding up, I just want to go get it
say yo I did it
worse things could be hurting me
back when everything I ever did was faith based like fiat currency
I'd let any sort of set back leave me flat, it just had to discourage me
But I choose joy, I'm surrounding me
with visionaries, shout thanks to those who doubted me
that gives me a lift though
I'll disrupt the whole game like they are Wall Street and your boy is crypto
chomping at the bits to avoid new entrants
but I'll break in signed or independent
my mind is of a remnant
that will never take no as the final
I Just had to remind you

About a Dream
03:27

I quit my job and then I hopped onto a plane
I quit my job and then I hopped onto a plane
nowadays my life is office to a stage
nowadays my life is office to a stage
tell me bout that dream, won't you tell me bout a dream tho
tell me bout that dream won't you tell me bout a dream tho
holla at ya boy when I step up on the scene tho
I hit up your city now I'm wildin out so mean tho
See me rapping with my horn these people be like who is here
came in like a zakku suit or like I rock maneuver gear
I'm not taking names I'd rather transform the whole mood in here
got y'all saying "A" like y'all stay acing your school careers
Shoot in broad day, if you talking bout that breeze though
life got me feeling fantastic like Mr. Reed, bro
Set a couple goals last year and happened to exceed those
Alabama bred, making noise in KCMO
Paper ain't that long, but flex game is mad strong
way I'm living I can make that bread last long
great existence my ambition's always past "go"
confidence and arrogance I walk the line like Cash, though!
I quit my job and then I hopped onto a plane
I quit my job and then I hopped onto a plane
nowadays my life is office to a stage
nowadays my life is office to a stage
tell me bout that dream, won't you tell me bout a dream tho
tell me bout that dream won't you tell me bout a dream tho
holla at ya boy when I step up on the scene tho
I hit up your city now I'm wildin out so mean tho
Why you stopping son? Why you, why you stopping son
9 to 5 in still but that music dropping son
always grinding, y'all can have contentment, I am not the one
this is the life of an ambitious Otaku, son/
I be in this noise, at these shows writing lyrics though
rock with hipsters, thugs, preps and nerds, I appear with all
they all show me love, that diverse individual
they all show me love that diverse individual
I told y'all that I wasn't going anywhere
lend me all your power like the spirit bomb's collected here
standing there for hours while this mic collects this energy
staying with the plan, this is not about contingency

Picking Up (feat. Atlas)

1
Oh God, Dear God
Help me, help me
cause I'm so flawed, so flawed
I've dealt me a whole lot
of stress from some bad decisions
a whole lot more from my ambition
I strategize and attack the prize
I fantasize then I grab my life
I make plans but I've never known
I've never known what to do
Epiphanies, passion, and planning but never had a clue
Plus she said she needed something new
Words that cut me deep
She didn't see my awkward faces
But it brought me to my knees
Really needed conversation
Best believe my heart was racing
Then retreated, sinking into
Depths of grief and condemnation
Never Peach, I always treat them
Like they need a lot of saving
When they always rescue me
Now here I am just wishing I could hear the breath she breathes
Writing winter songs
Not sure how to move along
to reach a healthy me
Hook:
The other day I thought about giving up
But I just told mom things were picking up
My father said
Told me I should live it up
With a purpose. Now things are picking up
I used to have
Ambitions I didn’t trust
Then I listened
Now things are picking up
Momma you should know
Progress I can’t get enough
See me now, ma, everything’s picking up
2
This is what I've let in my brain
Going after things I once thought I'd never attain
but I threw those thoughts over the rails like Vader tossed Palpatine
I don't have time to be dismayed, lost, doubting dreams
All the things
I used to do. Was using you as my excuse
Need more security if we were going to be the truth
Blaming you for my decisions. That logic was pretty loose
Couldn't get my head on straight without sending you through the roof
Now I'm squashing feelings trying to meet connect and network
though my net worth is still below par, I'll reinvest first
Now these conversations are starting to bring me checks
Used to feel salty seeing Facebook homies glean respect
They were touring getting crowds in the thousands
I was in a bar watching locals straight styling
they were signing deals, all their dreams becoming real
They were building
Now I'm in the same boat, working towards fulfillment
The other day I thought about giving up
But I just told mom things were picking up
My father said
Told me I should live it up
With a purpose. Now things are picking up
I used to have
Ambitions I didn’t trust
Then I listened
Now things are picking up
Momma you should know
Progress I can’t get enough
See me now, ma, everything’s picking up
They grab me for shows and you know I snap at every party
Hungry in the game Bout to go Katniss on everybody
Yeah
That means I rebel against the paradigm
Yeah
Never been concerned about a pair of dimes
Yeah
Too busy on the move things are picking up
Yeah
Praise God. Pops keeps me lifted up
Yeah
Peep game. I can never give it up
Yeah
Growth and progression I can’t get enough
Yeah
The other day I thought about giving up
But I just told mom things were picking up
My father said
Told me I should live it up
With a purpose. Now things are picking up
I used to have
Ambitions I didn’t trust
Then I listened
Now things are picking up
Momma you should know
Progress I can’t get enough
See me now, ma, everything’s picking up

Headbuster

Sing: Headbuster on the way
I'm too hungry for your games, I'm not really tryna play
hey now
You know I own the lane
eating up these other lames
once I get inside that brain
say ah
1: No clue how this generated
broke through trying to enter faces
and expose you to my entertainment
different ain't it?
interesting what filling your ears with my substance do
you were chilling, now you let Desh into that mind frame, and you're hungry too
so lets eat together
They get scared when they see perfection
Talk about the fear because we beast and wreck it
and they channel all their energy to figure out a way they can defeat the effort
but I'm just starving, I'm just starving! shoulda found a way to try to feed me breakfast
lunch and dinner if you're willing. Every beat I gotta kill it. Got a dream to go fulfill
and I don't need your heckling
Say you got hands? don't be too reckless
the last line was a Migi reference
old allies don't believe the message
to pursue every lead til the needs are met then
try to outpace me, be the least impressive
you don't have resolve
for every way that I've evolved
and been created so that every limb can be a weapon
I don't know my limits allow me to test them
changing faces just to keep you guessing
what do you think you can do to me
I'm my own enemy, your hit's a no go
I work like I'm Gotou, five beings in unity
they keep on asking how do I keep moving
with all that I'm doing/ I beast with impunity
Warning the game and apologies if you're pursuing me tell em/
Hook: I'm coming for your head boy!
I'm coming for your head boy!
You won't know what hit ya til I'm there boy
I don't plan to stop until I'm fed boy
I got something for y'all, it's gotta spread boy
Sing: Headbuster on the way
I'm too hungry for your games, I'm not really tryna play
hey now
You know I own the lane
eating up these other lames
once I get inside that brain
say ah
2: None of your shots can hit that boy (no no)
they see me coming, start yelling somebody better get that boy
shots spread, I don't feel any, too focused on domination
when the clock's bled, I'm still standing
y'all view risk as an abomination
Looking at me crazy cause my mind is different
almost like a parasyte resided in it
used to hit the stu was acting kinda timid
didn't think that anybody would be trying to hear it
now I'm eating heads off, just sped off
pursue another angle Desh is scoping wanna find a victim
I don't really have any true shape
but use brains
and take on any image that can hide my sinister
true ambition to assume position living at the top though
rule the game like the new food chain
been the vision but they spit like they recovered and forgot though
I refuse to do this in secret
I feed in the open these victims beneath me
I need an opponent who swears they can beat me?
I been in the shadows awaiting this moment
researched and I studied like Reiko proposed it
I got my cake and then I ate oh so slowly
by cake I mean faces
I don't know if we can integrate in these cases
talk about equality until I prove that I can come erase all debating
emotions run hot but I display that freon
I'm buzzing like infinity paved to beyond
Show anger like Rovio creations bring on
you gon' take this heat, son
Hook: I'm coming for your head boy!
I'm coming for your head boy!
You won't know what hit ya til I'm there boy
I don't plan to stop until I'm fed boy
I got something for y'all, it's gotta spread boy
Sing: Headbuster on the way
I'm too hungry for your games, I'm not really tryna play
hey now
You know I own the lane
eating up these other lames
once I get inside that brain
say ah

I love this whole album: It just captures a wide range of experiences and affects the listener with a wide range of emotions. I first liked this album because of the nerdcore elements, but I fell in love when I realized that these verses were true poetry, speaking to a deeper truth and beauty unlike most hip-hop I've heard. "A Poet" exemplifies this with its bittersweet message about how poetry is not valued. This is the first hip-hop tune I've ever shed a tear over. Take a bow, Mega Ran.
