I try my best to not go quietly
never leave the house in just one layer of irony
Clothes clash violently, socks from opposing teams
Thinking fame is where I'm supposed to be, but it's only dreams
That's how it seems, like the system is rigged
My part time job is now a permanent gig
And the rents not cheap, that shit is too damn high
Still relying on my parents, man, I can't lie
But still I try, no matter what I make ends meet
In a Dead end job, but I can't be dead beat
Chasing dead presidents, so that I can eat
Cuz if you ain't got that check, then you're just dead meat
And I'm not bout to live on the street
I'll keep chasing dollar signs with my own two feet
But you know what they say about all work and no play
I'm hoping I don't work my life away
Welcome to the real world
I always spend my evenings making music
But this shit is so hard, Sometimes I question why I do this
The truth is music biz is ruthless
Even if you got the juice, chances are it's fruitless
I should put the pen down, just throw up the deuces
We all know that I can't pay the rent with just my two cents
These are my thoughts when I'm going to write
But I still find it in me to flow on the mic
I guess I still have something to say
Or maybe I've just got something wrong in my brain
But I'm still making music, still reaching for fame
Still hoping one day they will remember my name
And I know it's unlikely, I'll take that chance
But I won't stop till my album sells out in advance
I won't stop till I'm platinum clad
Till then I'll keep writing down all my thoughts on this pad
This isn't anything new, I was just the last to find out
Am I cut out for this shit? I honestly doubt
I don't feel like was ready to move out, but I did
I'm not an adult, I still feel just like a kid
All of this has been said before
Long before I ever even hit record
I guess I never listened to the signs
But let's forget the past and just focus on the grind
If you don't already know clipping., they're speed rap over industrial noise. It's harsh, it's challenging, but it is also, as my friends put it, turnt as shit. Daveed Diggs is a rap god. Wülf Boi
Josh is a good friend of mine, but I promise, I'm not just giving his album this recommendation because of that. These chiptunes are actually amazing. The melodies are playful and emotional Wülf Boi
