lyrics

[PPS]

I’m glued to holographic junkie projections
Stuck in my dream
Abolish fake reigns and embodied consumerism
[…]
Watch me fading into glitched screens
Live streams of divided communities fall on their knees
Choked by regimes
1312 from the west to the east
[….]
Consume, reproduce and believe
Consume, reproduce and obey
In the darkest of hours all haters get tamed
I stayed analog to this day
[…]
I rhymed my way in by casting hot spells
Hear it in my undertones…
[…]
Clichés stick to your ass like it’s April fools day
Differentiate between friends and ghouls at this age
pretense to something other than fame
Y’all keep mispronouncing my name
Over and over again
So distracted with my shallow existence
in this echochember of hate
Rapping about your exes is so goddamn tasteless
I left mine behind in a wasteland
unwarned disappearance from a cascade
[…]

We’re surviving a digital plague
Cast offs hiding inside of tenement buildings in rainy Warsaw
Gonzo lyricism remains underrated
Infra red undetected
Restless
But I digress
been collecting my missing teeth inside a locked green chest
Swallowed my pride countless times
Just To be called a cunt
Sleep walking through reality
Eyes wide shut
Too Afraid to speak up

[…]

Drowning in a bowl of hot miso soup
Endless paragraphs of Ryu Murakami
tenaciously holding on to my truth
And jumping thorough all the hoops
I Recuperate and deploy my fake self on a zoom
choking on fog of a blue dream zoot
My cubicle had some doors so I escaped this shit graciously in pursuit
[…]
Some are watching and someone is actually listening
How I’m rhyming reticent and dissident
Drop more albums on my label while you drop the ball
Imma sip cold bobba in downpours
