4 the K-Pop Stans (& U)

This is dedicated to the K-pop Stans the legends of the fucking failed state.
For the outcasts like Hey Ya!
This is for the five Seattleites piping up every April like "this year the mariners make the playoffs!" Playoffs!?
Life's tough so I fly like that
You take a punch & you fight right back
That's how it goes now
I wish that I could deliver the perfect set just to resurrect all the independent venues that have closed down
Phones out we too accustomed to bodies.
The newest daily routine is black death then coffee
Constant plays watching it soften the same part of your body your brain talks with.
Hard to remain conscious.
We escape with medication
Open the blinds up
Let the rays in
Reading breathing and writing
Seeing the organized
Redefine stasis.
You don't understand who you play with, like
Ooooooo
I can hear you asking what's the use
I feel you.
Some days I don't know me
Some days I can finally find my groove
I know.
Can you feel me I got nerve sometimes.
Hurt sometimes.
I can make it work sometimes.
Flex one time
Make it make sense I'm trying.
Just don't lie to me.
Cuz I don't do this to get some listens
I don't pen page for great reviews
I make the music cuz it makes me happy
If I do that I can do this for you!
For you!
(You you you you you)
This is for the K-Pop stans and... and you!
This is dedicated to the K-Pop Stans the legends of the fucking failed state. For the outcasts like Hey Ya!
This is for the five Seattleites piping up every April like "this year the mariners make the playoffs!" Playoffs!??
Took a moment had to find my path
My tongue is sore when I bite like that
I guess I know now
Homies are getting married and planting seeds
& suddenly I don't recognize the people in my hometown.
There's no preparing for that.
Know that whatever it is, you'll be there when it happens.
This is the very miraculous proletariat rap edition
It's breaking out of the packaging
Damn it's good to be back again
Cuz I don't do this to get some listens
I don't pen page for great reviews
I make the music cuz it makes me happy
If I can do that I can do this for you
This is for the K-Pop Stans...and you

Smoke mid
Save money
Vibin' with the broke kids all the rich folks way stuffy
All the rich folks hate puppies
All the rich folks love boats; they don't see the wave coming
Smoke mid
Save money
Vibin' with the broke kids all the rich folks way stuffy
All the rich folks using you to make money
I don't think they see the wave coming.
Motherfucker
Smoke mid
Save money
(woah!)
Smoke mid
Save money
Buddy
Smoke mid
Save money
Vibin' with the broke kids all the rich folks way stuffy.
Reggie Jackson the puff, but I don't fuck with Yankees
The underbellies of perfect places are something scathing
Thinking we can just manifest away subjugating
That's like thinking Spotify actually plans to compensate the artist
(Hm)
I'm just tryna have good sex be a good friend a great hominid.
I'm the type to take a old mess make a whole lesson,
Coalesce a great armistice.
Lotta homies in the garden but they say the groundwater got the arsenic. Lotta ways you could parse that, but a lotta people still parched as shit.
All my dissonance cognitive
Smoke warped tour with the drama kids
On the 4th floor where the drahgon lives
Wait dragon lives
Is it Kamiak or Kamiakin?
I ain't rap God I'm leviathan
No have nots
No reach across the fucking aisle shit
Free Palestine
No Zionists like
(chill out drizzy)
RIP the vibes when the lights woop, whoa!
Y'all got baby blue setting fire to the coast
Feels like 2020 was a really long drive thru
All that time and money, this the wrong food (no!)
They say yeah but you eating
Half a bird in the hand you burning the bush for relief and
They burn holes in their pockets for no approximate reason
Planting they seeds in your soil then taking off for the weekend
I think we (uh) too obsessed with making moves just to get rich
I just wanna sleep well knowing everybody got all they need to exist
Maybe I can take pride in my hometown and still call it out when they miss
Maybe we could finally fucking hear No Name homie normalize smoking mid
Sick.
Smoke mid
Save money
Vibin' with the broke kids all the rich folks way stuffy
All the rich folks using you to make money
I don't think they see the wave coming
Motherfucker
Smoke mid
(Breakdown)
Smoke mid
Save money
Vibin' with the broke kids all the rich folks way stuffy
All the rich folks using you to make money
I don't think they see the wave coming

[Verse 1] [Slake]
After we smoke this we gotta get-
Step up and I slaughter on the beat
Kurt V- V- Vonnegut
Young Slake two feet on the ottoman
Nothing like a living room concert confidence
Love and vision won't fail me
All my friends treat me like old family
Confidence hits peaks and valleys
To each their own season
Life will know many
Vibes on gold rush
Found your light now it's nice to know ya
I'm just tryna keep my eyes above
Cuz after we smoke this we're gonna get, what?
[Chorus] [Slake]
After we smoke this we gotta get fucked up
Mmmmmm
After we smoke this we gotta get fucked up
Yeah yeah!
After we smoke this we gotta get fucked up
Mmmmmm
After we smoke this we gotta get fucked up
[Verse 2] [Taylor Morse]
Yeah I like to have a good time
Long as we're on the same page
I will say if it don't feel right
But for now this is okay
I'm pretty patient baby but I need a good night
We should kick it smoke about it for a lil while
I'm not playing when it comes to my time
So if you wanna feel good you're my type.
I'm just tryna get fucked up
I'm just tryna have a real good time
If you want you can pull up, ay
Come through baby it's 'bout time cuz
After we smoke this we gotta get fucked up (we gotta get fucked up)
After we smoke this we're gonna get fucked up
(Bring me in now0
[Chorus] [Slake]
After we smoke this we gotta get fucked up
Mmmmmm
After we smoke this we gotta get fucked up
Yeah yeah!
After we smoke this we gotta get fucked up
Mmmmmm
After we smoke this we gotta get fucked up
[Verse 3] [AceChristo]
Fresh off the plane need a blaze
7 days of vacay rolled in a J
Let the vibes wipe away all the pain you feel today
So we run away
Scooby Dooby Doo wrapped in a Swishy
Never pack squishy
Squad swim but we never fishy
Only thing we serve are some dishies of food (oh shit)
Ain't that the truth!
If the peeps peep
They gon' squeak but that shit don't last a week
Stay on your peak
Stay on your grind
You stay on my mind
Spread Agape don't hate, okay
Period dot don't overthink
This is so wholesome what you drink?
Little bit of 'bucha never down the sink
Cuz after the dank
We gotta skank
[Chorus] [Slake]
After we smoke this we gotta get fucked up
Mmmmmm
After we smoke this we gotta get fucked up
Yeah yeah!
After we smoke this we gotta get fucked up
Mmmmmm
After we smoke this we gotta get fucked up
[Breakdown]
We gotta get fucked up
Truth is, we were already fucked up
Already fucked up
2020. Woah.

[Opening Skit]
HOST: Welcome back to another round of "Forget Ya Had It?" our next contestant, Brandon!
BRANDON:...Oh my god I forgot I had that!
HOST: See ya next time, folks.
[Pre-verse]
You are
I am
For sure
I'm not
Okay
Who is
Good shit
Stay mid
Let's just vibe.
For real tho
Thank you
My bad
So much
Again
That's all
I have
Who's next
To dip
It's just time.
Time and time again
I am I'm not who is for sure
So much I've got to give you are
Already faded.
Faded.
Wait wait look-
I've probably smoked in half the parking lots that good ol' Mukilteo had to offer
I was Seventeen cleansing my chakras
Whole life ahead of me
Threw more parties than books in lockers
I remember half of what I've forgotten
Aw fuck what happened?
We were taking our prom pics at gasworks
Didn't see your text about maybe meeting up after
Seven years later I casually hit you back like
I dont know if you heard, but I'm a rapper...
Now.
So...
We should catch up.
Normalize smoking out with your friends
Normalize making out with your friends
I don't know, like
I was cute but was scared back then
It's amazing what ypu start to forget
[Chorus]
I swear to God I probably wrote the best hook of all time then forgot that shit
I forgot that shit!
I,
Probably wrote the best hook of all time but I forgot that shit
I forgot that shit!
Like,
I was only sixteen in my jeep like
We were rolling six deep on a school night
When I wrote the best hook of all time but i forgot that shit
I forgot that shit
This is what y'all get
[Interlude]
This is what y'all get
I forgot that shit.
This is what y'all get
I am I'm not who is for sure
So much I've got to give you are
Already faded.
[Verse 2]
Young Slake wrote mouthfuls
It was no hook no b sides
Played my first sold out show I was so nervous couldn't breathe right
Some things can't screenshot
Some nights still sneak up
When we together we don't sleep much
What'd you picture it would be like
Pillow talk with a girl that I haven't seen in the better part of a decade
Drastically different headspace
Waking up back in LA
My sheets tucked
Your legs spread
And we dance my head
It's your world I spectate
Wife and I ain't met yet
I probably already like you
FaceTime on bedrest
I could bring you some hi-chews
Lifetime hella precious
Still too short like haikus
When my heart broke I was messed up
I just left it I don't like glue.
I'm becoming antithetical
It's very fluid.
Tidepool.
Very fluid
Tidepool.
Very fluid
Tidepool.
They don't even read the pocket signs
Picking thorns out the Bible
Haven't thought about kids yet
Hope they look just like you.

I don't see shit I dont say shit (nah)
I don't know shit I don't claim shit (nah)
I don't see shit I don't say shit (nah)
I don't, I- don't
Hundreds moving quickly in the black block
I don't see shit, blame the sticky for the brain rot
(Rot rot watch 'em)
Real g's move like water do
Move when opportune
What's a party without a opp or two?
They either catching COVID or the swine flu
They gon' try to pacify you lullaby moves
(Woop woop)
On my Tobi Lou got a tight troop
Liquify, make the night news
Then we dilute
Very sorry I skipped class I was busy ass whooping on the bootlick bastards
Got the neighbor kids swoopin' in a pandemic
When we kick back it's the tear gas canisters.
I hear the same fucking rhetoric losing the message the second you riot and loot
I seen a homie remaining suspiciously quiet like what you think silence gon do?
Mississippi been burning Minnesota burning tell me what's a fire to prove it
The fucking movement ain't a monolith the department is that's the problem with blue
White folks on the megaphone maybe take a breath maybe pass that.
Red Hat brought the killers out no Ghostface no snapchat
They didn't have to make the hill hot
Now we dirty dancing with the ham hocks
I de-arrest then get back to taking care of my-

This music shit I'm a freak bout it
Legend in my very tight circle
I'm Steve Higgins pre-Fallon
Seek balance; motivate.
Some of y'all calling capital protests Batman's protege
Some of y'all use dangerous nomenclature
You loyal to only paper and property
I find that hella laaaame
I find relief in the beat
Himalayan Sea Salt the way I'm eating the pink
I don't sleep with the sheets
Too much heat in my thinks
I don't fuck with ICE homie less it's freezing the drink
You feel me?
Said less it's freezing the drink
You feel me?
No ICE homie 'less it's freezing the drink
You feel me?
It's all hype shit me & Supreme
We keep the lights if she likes what she sees
You feel me?
You feel me?!
[~a buncha bullshit~]
[Lake]
Feelin' timeless
You remind me
Baby you remind me of somebody else
I just wanna know do you do this to yourself
Why you losing yourself?
She let loose
We gon' Smoosh
Now she lost in it
In the movement
That's what I'm saying I'm moving around
She came to the house
I already bounced
Like baby one sec
Came right back
Smoosh like action figures
You got
You got everything I need
Sing your praise in doses
Half a dozen roses scattered on the floor
How was I supposed to ever let you go
You got
You got everything I need
Sing your praise in doses
Half a dozen roses scattered on the floor
I would do the most
I'd never let you go
[Slake]
Baby

Why you so distant
You got all your friends and your friends won't listen
Why you so stressed?
Girl you so gifted
What could you be worried 'bout
What could you be missing?
Girl you got me yelling please have mercy

[Opening]
"Drake we're too high"
[Slake]
Mom is back here, telling me I don't rap well enough
"You're never gonna have a fucking career from this shit
How much have you made?
Oh you won two grand
Ohhh they sent you to New York
Ohhhh you played in Brooklyn
(You opened for JoJo)
OhhhHHHhhhh you got Lake Stovall mixing your vocals
(I did open for JoJo)
He worked with Masego
(laughs)
Not good enough."
[Verse 1]
Stage dive at a open mic get uninvited
Bar fights I'm leaving em on some vocal fry shit
Slake's high the stakes are low
The horses are in the back with the payload
Life is full of surprises
I'm in ultimate fights with all your normative vices
I go up like a geyser
Give my knucks to the pilot
My shit bumps like a night stick
Your shit sucks like a pipe hit
Baby why you divisive?
Anything but the silence, right?
Thanks for coming homie who invited you.
I don't make decided rules, I just take a lighter to em.
I just give designer music to ya at a bargain price.
This is a bargain right?
[Chorus]
They say my chicken scratch is bound to break the surface
Everybody high up with the clouds and the origins of bird shit
Stay, grounded through the circus, circus
Keep your face down it's a circus.
They say my chicken scratch is bound to break the surface
Everybody high up with the clouds and the origins of bird shit
Stay, grounded through the circus circus
Keep your face down it's a circus circus.
[Verse 2]
I was born in the great gray town I'm a ink blot
Rorschach: hold me close & make you think a lot
Smoke stack: lit lows like the equinox
Searching for a friend to help the feeling stop
Wait that's fucked
I am not impressive persons
I was forged out of breath in a basement irksome
I have forlorn wept I have tasted dirt
A mortar pestle person a grave dessert
Like look up!
Don your darkest Doc Martins
Charge the locked gates and hope your God pardons.
Long you've lost faith you let your heart harden
Time heals, stocks plummet and thoughts sharpen.
Thanks for coming homie I'm delighted to,
All my superheroes have vaginas that's my kind of move
All my roots are clearly close to dying like the climate do
Yo, what you tryna prove?
[Chorus]
They say my chicken scratch is bound to break the surface
Everybody high up with the clouds and the origins of bird shit
Stay, grounded through the circus circus
Keep your face down it's a circus.
They say my chicken scratch is bound to break the surface
Everybody high up with the clouds and the origins of bird shit
Stay, grounded through the circus circus.
Keep your face down it's a circus
Woah.

I don't really wanna be to be blunt
All I ever wanna be's honest
Loyalty to day ones
Cruelty's never been an option, no.
I don't really wanna be blunt
All I ever wanna be's honest
Loyalty to day ones
Cruelty's never been an option
Ah ah!
Ah ah!
Ah ah!
Ah ah!
Cruelty's never been an option
Ah ah!

Ah ah!
May your glitter shine gold
They say the right soul can piss the whole town off
I was born die old
Fuck the 5-0
And make my own sound, y'all
Post medicinal ground hog
Must be this high to clown, y'all
Dawn your sugar coat
Fake your pic and post
Hell to holy ghost hound dogs
Nowadays we got old folks all hot
"back in my day" so what
Same way folks my age like
"Slake why you gotta say so much?"
Cuz I want you to do shrooms
Write my words on a chalkboard
And let the picture consume you
It's either cool or It's awkward, uh right?
I don't really gotta to be blunt
All I ever wanna be's honest
Loyalty to day ones
Cruelty's never been an option, no.
I don't really wanna to be blunt

I don't trust the market cuz most the market is mid!
(It's mid!)
Major artists sell like LA apartments for hits!
Think you got a lot but you make your art with permission
For the love or the riches can they both coexist
Wait so look
Hollywood's played out we can go home now.
Made the same shit turned great to a ghost town
Certified mid if you didn't then you know now
Smoke in mirrors,
Spoken blunders,
I take my old self,
I hold him under.
I seen the rats nest
I told the Onceler
He can't come back now
We owe the buzzards
Absolution wonderland look at y'all gassing for the money dance. Gross. Mac-ish with the cup in hand I just wanna have some fun before I can't.
Woah.
I'm not my dick but I will fuck
I just want my nails done good thats real talk
I just want a brand new smile no nip tuck
Maybe you could lemme know if you have interest
I don't really wanna be to be blunt
All I ever wanna be's honest
Loyalty to day ones
Cruelty's never been an option, no.
I don't really need to be blunt
All I ever wanna be's honest
Loyalty to day ones
Cruelty's never been an option

[Opening narration]
"Well I mean that there are the colors, the beauties, the designs, the beautiful way things appear.
People themselves, [some] people that I [talk of] appear fascinating, interesting, wonderful...but that's only the beginning."
When I think of all the colors
I've stowed away
What I gave to you
And you alone
Was all there was to take
When I think of all the colors
I know you hold of mine
They're old, and cracked, and dry.
When I think of all the
[Vocalizing]
And I noticed
That you smile with your teeth in your pictures now
It's the best thing I've seen in a while
I've been getting pretty used
To making plans and watching fate take 'em dancing
And you can love a man
And hate the vanish
Mmmmmmm
I think I'll give yesterday some space
When I think of all the colors
I stowed away
What I gave to you
And you alone
Was all there was to take
When I think of all the colors
I know you hold of mine
They're old, and cracked, and dry.
If you're score keeping this is chapter six
Wish I knew back in boardwalk
That the story line woulda look liked this
Wish the homies weren't so spaced out
Wish it felt like world actually gave a shit
I wish
I wish that I could write the sweetest melody to save the voice in your head
Or paint a portrait of the view through my lens
If you could see what I see in you maybe we could make our peace with the ledge
[Ending narration]
"Suddenly you notice that there aren't these separations.
That we are not on a separate island shouting across to somebody else trying to hear what they're saying and misunderstanding them.
You know. You used the word yourself: empathy.
These things underneath. We're part of a single continent.
It meets underneath the water.
And with that goes such sweet delight.
The sober certainty of waking bliss."

[Part one]
[Intro]
Back on time
Yo what's up this is AceChristo (talk to em, baby)
Thank you guys for taking the time to listen to the tape
It truly means the world to us (this is serious shit)
Thank you from the bottom of our heart, but wait
Hold up
We. (more reverb)
Got.
One. (more reverb)
More.
For.
Y'all (yuh!) (woof!)
We made this shit so when you play it your friends will be like "damn son where'd you find this??"
We may not have J.I.D. on the track but you know who we do got?
AceChristooooo (& Slake!)
(woooo) (Jerry, clap)
(We ruin everything we touch)
[Verse 1]
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
If I don't make it back on time
Don't wait up for me
Don't wait up for me
Nah nah
Ay ay ay
Look,
I don't make radio hits
I make music that maybe someday you can play for your kids
Cranial shit
Leaves a lingering you can taste on your lips
Even pull me out your pocket for rainy days if you wish
[Hook]
Does it make you happy now?
Make you happy now?
Would it make you happy now?
Make you happy now?
[Verse 2]
I just want to see my friends at the function
Never have to punch in
Never waste a minute on pretty petty assumptions
I've made of habit of doing shit cuz I love it
Like singing Yada Yada with all of my little cousins
Got me wishing for a simpler time
I remember we met some legends on 11th and Pine
Heaven was a balaclava
We protected the line
I can't believe I'm bout to be 25.
It's fine but like
I still got a problem with perfection (mmmmm)
There will come a time when you gotta unlearn some lessons (mhm)
They don't really tell you your twenties are gonna hurt for a second (mmm-mmmmm)
Cuz I still got million little unheard questions (mmmmm like)
Would it make you happy now?
Make you happy now?
[Part 2]
Still got more to stomach save a nugget for the outro
Outro.
Violent is the slow tremble
I spin the tale like the end of a spider's web
In the lion's den I remember the sonnet from psilocybin heads
Waiting for the sword to drop
In lieu of David the Goliath wept
In lieu of you I put to page what I could never send
I was so aware you knew me
What a life unspent
I must have missed the stop.
(Let it breath)
Violent is the slow-
I swear I had tear my own tongue and tie it into a stethoscope just to hear that I'd been calling for help.
Cuz in the last 6 months I've swallowed more than maybe I was intended to
Met my stomach told him fend for yourself.
You never swam on your own
But how the mind it love to drift when your lids close
Slowly my heart it lifts to my throat.
Maybe with this you could float.
Or maybe then we could finally atone for all the inaudible blows we didn't know.
Or maybe we didn't notice.
I wrote a note of the perfect secrets you told me but I sold it with my previous phone,
And if I'm totally honest at times I smoke just for somewhere to go,
But get to thinking scary thoughts on my own.
That ain't the life that I post.
If never cappin' I'd caption my latest snap "It's hella hard to see the scars on your folks."
And in regards to the darkest part of the garden say we all gotta go,
But I swear I'm starting to argue with ghosts.
I start to spar with the arc of a starving artist I'm haunted by all the harm I just didn't know I had lodged in your bones.
Smoldering home from a brush fire I hushed; trying to stop the role
But a dying love was the devil I didn't know how to expose.
They say it's all just part of the growth.
All just part of the growth.
Whatever,
Mid.
