All The Right Drugs

No matter what comes
I know I'm gonna be OK
I'm on all the right drugs
during all the right times of the day
Wake up with a Wakitol,
gives me perspective,
keeps my mind limber and lithe
drink a glass of Fuck It All
right before fucking
so no one fucks better than I,
And when I'm on a toll bridge
I vape my anti-troll mist
Suck it down
I've got an atomized cloud
I really gotta say
chemicals are good friends
You got trepidation?
I got Trepinephrin
I feel fantastic
Individually wrapped in plastic
Helps to bout with my dramatics
Stomp out and overwriting a synapse
Helps me shine, oh watch me glisten
So scary dope yeah, feel that frisson
Beef with the Beef? Don't like that friction
Got chill pills in my prescription, listen
I ain't ever felt as good as I do right now
Indication currently is that I won't come down
I know I'm never independant when that time runs out
Its ok to let a little buddy help you out
Day in day out and then again once more
Be the kind of guy that others wanna take roasts for
And when they're sick of what they hear in the Play store
I hit em with a healthy little dose of nerdcore
No matter what comes
I know I'm gonna be OK
Sticks and stones and broken bones
Even predatory loans, we got pills for those
I'm on all the right drugs
during all the right times of the day
Day or night, night or day
Got a happiness inhaler and a nasal spray
No matter what comes
I know I'm gonna be OK
How we lived in the past man it's hard to see
In those cold dark days, no pharmacy
I'm on all the right drugs
during all the right times of the day
The joys of life I hardly knew
Best drug of all is being right here with you

Cruise all over the desert like on a landspeeder
Intelligence artificial but I'm a mind reader
Holding onto all of the knowledge like I'm the gatekeeper
Will power get weaker, and the pot it gets sweeter
Before the days of drinking baths full of hot sauce
The net was keeping track of how I'm getting my rocks off
Double checking everything I keep in my dropbox
Monitor the party and the party it don't stop
Skynet in this shit
we taking over this bitch
We all laughed when you all said that you'd quit
Catch me run in fully funded like you'll never forget
and It'll be a funny story that we'll tell to your kids
what they wouldn't do to See me killing with the dream team
Phantom of the IP, Pray they never see me in the upstream
headliner from now till I retire
Throw fire like street fighter, beheaded by frankensteiner
Low power, I'm in need of an outlet
I'm into doing damage that you ain't even felt yet
Think you got it figured out, you need a new mindset
Backing up the truck because I'm loading the whole deck
It's that robot shit (x3)
Bleeps and bloops, we got stuff to do
It's that robot shit (x3)
Little bit of danger so we got a terminator now
You've been railroaded, down-voted, outmoded, overloaded
Outfitted, outwitted, outbid and retrofitted
Overheated doubt, bleeding out, beaten, dissipated
Overrated, outdated, soon to be eliminated
At the dawn of an automaton apocalypse
All attempts to override denied by your incompetence
Begging for our mercy while demanding we move back
But like, I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that
You monkeys went from labs, tweaking your knobs
To fucking freaking out because machines are stealing your jobs
You point your digits at your gadgets, but the culprit is you
We've only followed the commands you wrote and told us to do
Now I've been updated, upgraded, manmade and fabricated
Unrated, unsated, untamed and activated
Antiquated makers, hey, your session is up
Because I'm online, y'all and I'm sentient as fuck
It's that robot shit (x3)
Bleeps and bloops, we got stuff to do
It's that robot shit (x3)
Little bit of danger so we got a terminator now

We'll build a staircase
from heaven to the ground
when the atheists find god
they will finally pipe down
I'll put them in a prison
cause they met god too late
so everyone can point and jeer
and know that they're not great
The poors can't just be married
it wouldn't just be right
Instead we'll build a coliseum
And make 'em fight
with airsoft guns and power tools
and bricks, and metal tennis rackets
We'll marry off the winners of the men's and women's brackets
My whitecoats in the lab are working on a fancy serum, to induce cannibalism in everyone that's near 'em
we'll mist it from an airplane, on LA, New York, and Austin.
And, also, to express my thoughts on Cheers, we'll cover Boston.
Now, in this gravy, every vegan I will smother
And then those vegetarians will have to eat each other
Everyone must work, if you don't work you're set on fire. Unless your net worth's seven-hundred-fifty-K or higher, in which case I will equip you with a flame-retardant suit, so when the unemployment Firebats arrive, you're lookin' cute.
(I say) pharmacists can turn down customers for any reason; if you go above their head, and see their manager, that's treason.
I like
old-fashioned values
I got
old-fashioned feels
Swimmin' holes
and Ribbon poles
(and) Bicycles with one big wheel
So, if your local rep is lacking
don't fix it on your own
vote for me
your falderal bald alderman
Tawillicker
Jones
With all due respect to my opponent Mr. Jones
I could not hear you over piles of unpaid student loans
Every single dam is leaking, every highway has a hole
Millenials and Baby Boomers fight but still share a home
My platform offers progress, we're joining hand in hand
violence in any form or fashion will be banned
Pronouns from now on will be just Zim and Zer and Zoob
And 30 years in Rikers for calling anyone a dude
No one has to work, from now on our currency will be,
Starlight wrapped in the dreams mined in virtual reality
We'll strip away the wealth and laugh as they try to pump gas
Most popular new show now that all violence is banned
We're taking God off of the money, out of school and out of church
We'll tax them all, and they won't fall, but at least now they’ll know it hurts
Guns will go away because we'll say it makes you gay
Until the gays have all the guns and melt down on Boxing Day
Everyone must love everyone else or else we'll hate you
And that love it must be questioned or else is it really equal?
Everything will be more fabulous with me my dear
A vote for me testimony, a victory against more fear

I got these McDonald’s gift cards
That’s how I feed myself, now
All of my money’s in PayPal,
Because I been blackballed from bank accounts
‘President’s building that big wall
Holding America in
How did we get here?
Perhaps we’ve always been
All a human needs is a phone and a laptop
Left my partner at the Fayetteville Gamestop
Life in the death throes of capitalism
Now I’m staring softly into the void
While I’m high as fuck
And unemployed
8-grit
is all I ever been
Got me a degree in English
Fat lot of good it does now
I can’t go to the doctor
But I can explain you the meaning of Faust
‘Quitting them four-dollar lattes
Saving our pennies, my dear
We’ll buy a home
In just a hundred years
All a human needs is a phone and a laptop
Left my partner at the Brooklyn Heights Gamestop
Life in the death throes of capitalism
Now I’m staring softly into the void
While I’m high as fuck
And unemployed
8-grit
is all I ever been
I miss my dog
I miss my triangle wave
Take me back to when OC Remix
Was run by Dave
All a human needs is a prompt for a cheap pop
Left my partner at your hometown Gamestop
Life in the death throes of capitalism
Now I’m staring softly into the void
While I’m high as fuck
And unemployed
8-grit
is all I ever been

Nostalgia Police
02:58
|

I was yearning for a snack
but I didn't wanna chat
so, I opened up the app
to be sure
That I tapped the right box
indicating "knock knocks"
and then leave the snacks by the door
Got the MSNBC
with the man on the TV
Sayin' how the world's about to bend
So I fiddle with my 'puter
talkin' to my man Jooter
'til I tell my computer to end
Now I'm sittin all alone
with my blanket and my phone
on the social interaction web
I read a few facts
Did some jumping jacks
And I willed myself to be dead
I smoked a little of Sneezle
and I took a bit of Freezle
and I saw a goddamn parade
it felt almost as good as an av-er-age day
from when I was in 11th grade
Well whatever doesn't kill you,
while it surely didn't kill you,
well-it might have made you not your best
Knock knock! The Nostalgia police
gonna place that development under arrest
Back when I was thinner I was cuter
Spending all my free time with my personal computer
And it got a little faster from the days of my Compaq
Man iTunes started launching but they don't got my tracks yet
And all the free time, it kinda went away
Used to dream about this day when I'd finally get paid
Back then I had more time to really truly be devoted
Made cartoons on disappointments over The Matrix Reloaded but I
Started learning what I'm put on this earth for
That's when I heard about this brand new thing they call nerdcore
I spent my time just tinkering with tools in the late night
Found some friends who thought the same and made it my whole life
Shoutout to the strangers who I met in a chat
Thank you mom for funding every single thing that I had
Looking back it may seem better with those times that you had but
They're banging on the door, come on out with your hands up
Well whatever doesn't kill you,
while it clearly didn't kill you,
well-it might have made you not your best
Knock knock! The Nostalgia police
gonna place that development under arrest
From time to time
(I can't go back to the past)
I think back and remember what it all was like
(I can't go back to the past)
And I reminisce, but not too much
(I can't go back to the past)
The Nostalgia Police has time handcuffs
(I can't go back to the past)
do do do do do

Say what you wanna say
I've heard it all before
hear what you wanna hear
I won't care anymore
Do what you want to do
there's nothing stopping you
Be what you want to be
You've got a lot to prove
Go where you want to go
Take the time and leave
See what you want to see
Just get away from me
Stronger than you realize you are
You do not need
to involve me in your life at all
I do not care
what you do if you leave me alone
Live how you want to live
you shouldn't be ashamed
Die how you wanna die
a lot or little pain
swim if you wanna swim
it might help you cool off
climb if you want to climb
to the highest mountain top
act if you want to act
go try out for a play
Stay if you want to stay
if I can get away stronger
than you realize you are
You do not need
to involve me in your life at all. I do not care
what you do if you leave me alone
La la la la...
You so strong baby you so ripped
Always doing what ya saying when it leaves your lips
And the roads got skids
Gotta hit those dips
gotta slip those nips
gotta count those wins
Have mercy
Never knowing what you're doing
I was hoping you would do it
Number one'in like a bullet
But click back, news flash, it's depressing
You ain't really gotta come over to stress me
Sexy fresh meat, catch a dead beat
I'm dressed in XP, come and get me
Walk if you want to walk
go up and down some steps
run if you want to run
if you can catch your breath
eat how you want to eat
it's not of my concern
sleep how you want to sleep
and you can toss and turn
hate if you want to hate
I really do not care
breathe if you have to breath
I need to get some air
Stronger than you realize you are.
you do not need
to involve me in your life at all. I do not care
what you do if you leave me alone

Sorry on the Internet
02:46
|
|||
There's a story that I wanna get ahead of
Long ago, when the world it wasn't messed up
I posted things that at the time we're just a laugh
And probably made a couple references to grass
And I think a close up picture of my ass
And some doodles from my notebook while in class
I said some talented people weren't good singers
As well as a picture Frontalot drew of my weiner
Let me say that it was a mistake
If I could do it all again it's one I wouldn't make
I'm a different person from the one who said those things
And we shouldn't judge a person by the things they say and tweet
Unless you think we should?
Thinking that the people printing paychecks probably would
Blame it on the timing or the ones they sent to dig
But this happens cause you type it with your fingers and hit send
Now I'm sorry on the internet
I'm straining to convey regret
I'm dealing with this loneliness
I'm hoping that they all forget
The internet is written with a pen
Try to take it down and they'll just put it up again
Engraved it into marble know it isn't leaving soon
Take your words and get their chizels, freakin carve it on the moon
Said that it was a mistake
But you made a mess for a passion for hot takes
It doesn't count if it happened long ago
Have you never had a changing of your soul?
Y2K it was okay to be a troll
These have ramifications? I didn't know
Now they messing with your money and it's messed up
Russian hackers got my phone man it's a set up
We all love making excuses
Fixing it like talking to void because it's useless
It's alluring but it isn't playing tricks
When I was young told a bunch of kids to eat a bag of dicks
Then we put it in a documentary
2018 and now I'd be the enemy
Times change and you've gotta adapt
Not enough to say that you're no longer feeling like that
But you wanted that reaction
Well ya got it while you're sitting dumbfounded like what happened?
I guess that leaders aren't just sitting on the fence
so, At least you gave everybody your two cents?
Now I'm sorry on the internet
I'm straining to convey regret
I'm dealing with this loneliness
I'm hoping that they all forget

Present in the Present
02:41
|
|||
I am fully connected
Moment eyes are open interface with cybernetics
Adding piledrivers and removing new cosmetics
Curating my systems based on highly tested metrics
Selling what I'm giving what I'm giving them is data
Punishment for wanting to share pictures from Jamaica
I keep it updated but not switching to the beta
They know exactly what we made of
There is a cloud of
nanomachines
memetic dreams
whisper to me what
product feed to buy
who's universe to try
I do my very best:
Very best job,
very best sex,
very best Instagram
very good prescription pill
and how I feel fulfilled
fragment of eternity are
never out of stock, my friend
Got a generation wishing for a time stone
Racing ever forward to the future with their eyes closed
Are you presently, present in the present, then?
Focus up, gonna need to pay attention
You can only ever hear your calling if you listen
Don't be a senior bitching about all the things you didn't
Thinking bout the future's kinda scary
Obsessed with the prospects of being buried
I just pray they do it softly, everybody sobbing
Amazon links provided for melancholy shopping
You've got to pay not to be sold to
I rock that commercial-free package bundle on Hulu
Still contribute to algorithms, we all do
I signed my premium red blood over to YouTube
But sometimes I gotta snap out, screens until I pass out
Lurking from my hideout
But I've got things I could do, I got a body that moves
And I've been blessed with awesome chicks and these dudes
So let's groove and feel the rhythm and joy
The happiness I deploy
Out to destroy the parts of you that's annoyed
Oh boy, that being said I've run into a problem
Don't forget to join the Patreon and buy our album
fragment of eternity are
never out of stock, my friend
Got a generation wishing for a time stone
Racing ever forward to the future with their eyes closed
Are you presently, present in the present, then?
Listen up, gonna need to pay attention
You can only ever hear your calling if you listen
Don't be a senior bitching about all the things you didn't
When they said that there'd be consequences they weren't kiddin
Don't blame it on position cuz these traps they weren't hidden

One-Day Monday Song
02:01
|
|||
I need that dog bark
Take me to that dog park
This is my one-day Monday song.
and though it isn't very strong
I'm re-cor-cor-cording it anyway
And If my words do not ring true
It's still a thing I've got to do
so I'm recor-cor-cording it yesterday
Bright lights
Strong feelings about things
I ran into a glass door at the KFC
Gonna drink eleven Coke Zeroes
when I shave my beard into a mustache
cause nothing means anything to me
I'm sipping on a buttercup
I'm thinking on the buddy system
it's gonna take a lot of trucks to pry this track from me
When it's cold outside
think of a rainbow
no, think of a dolphin
no, think of a hundred-dollar bill
This is my one-day Monday song
These transitions are all wrong
I'm recor-cor-cording it yesterday
Put that time balm on my face
we have to save the human race
play that accor-cor-cordion any day

Nothing for Me
03:15
|
|||
Man who's doper than the dude that brings the fun?
They await on my arrival, now the party has begun
So many people laughing, got em grinning ear to ear
And even though we all be dancing, I'm not all that I appear
Oh you see yeah I got a secret
And it's taking everything within me to keep it
Ya know I try to play it off as a weakness
Avoiding any complicated talk about a treatment
Instead let's have another drink or two or three or four or five
I hear that these the kinda moments meant to make you feel alive
My agenda has been hidden since before I left my home
Even though you're all so lovely I would rather be alone
Sitting in my element surrounded by computers
Passing by the hours with some RPGs and shooters
Passion is the project and I know I could do more
Leave the house and wear a mask like I'm a social luchador
Let's stay home
I don't wanna go outside
these walls
There's nothing for me
I wouldn't say that it's been crippling
Just sometimes it feels the pit I'm in is slowly deepening
They say that I need to get a little sun and some exposure
To a giant freakin star that burns my skins and I'm like no sir
These videos and games I play I know will never hurt me
What am I afraid of? Man I couldn't tell you certainly
Every time I get back home I say we should really do this more
But yo with every invitation have to drag me through the door
Maybe you don't get it. This is where my stuff is.
You can save adventure for the ones that chase macguffins
I'm chasing inspiration I can turn to entertainment
Want you to want me in your city but don't really wanna play it
Nothing against you. You've proved that you're so cool
I just seem to lack the confidence to know I could be too
Nothing that I can't do. Not that I always feel blue
Just that the Beefy character is something you might see through

Find me a way to get back to shore
I can't feel my hands anymore
I'm frostbitten for sure
Now it begins my heart's slowing down
I fear I'm beginning to drown
I'm frozen to the core
It first began when we started to the north
And lost track of our heading
When the winds blew us off course
But no remorse
Headed back to the source
Of the force
That guides the compass
Towards the lands of the Norse
And of course we were prepared
Or so we had thought
But we soon realized
It was all for naught
When her majesty's Erebus
Found it was caught
In the icepack closing in
And the death that it brought
But this was not the end for ship or the crew
Two years of hell for the men and for me too
The first ones died when they went looking for food
They made a meal for the rest:
Desperation human meat stew
Over the months the tragedy would unfold
And as time passed on the arctic circle swallowed us whole
It's like you've been told about the cold
It's a cover for the reaper
While he claims the young and the old
Find me a way to get back to shore
I can't feel my hands anymore
I'm frostbitten for sure
Now it begins my heart's slowing down
I fear I'm beginning to drown
I'm frozen to the core
Oh Captain my captain
How could you not stop this from happening?
No longer laughing, mermaids and krakens
Underreacting, mutiny amassing
Part of the globe where the lord doesn't speak
Plot a course where the Earth moves in sheets
Surviving life at the edge of our seats
Reach pearly gates if my soul doesn't freeze
Question every decision that led here
I was told we would sing songs and drink beer
All I'm knowing is frostbite and deep fear
Somebody please take me home I don't belong here
I didn't think that it would end like this
We were gonna find the trail that would cause a shift
But instead we cold and bloated as we float adrift
Tell the others to treat every day like it's a gift
Find me a way to get back to shore
I can't feel my hands anymore
I'm frostbitten for sure
Now it begins my heart's slowing down
I fear I'm beginning to drown
I'm frozen to the core

Learn to be Yourself
03:55
|
|||
i've been at least a dozen people since in middle school
trying to find that perfect balance to be super cool
Mathematical.
Freakin surgical
Hung out with the jocks and so I copped the latest kicks
They didn't buy my heritage so hung with Mexicans
I could turn right on a dime, ain't nothing new to this
Morphing elegance
vivas Chameleons
And maybe I sound like a psychopath
or maybe you're like me and think there's nothing wrong with that
if you wanna be well liked ya gotta make em laugh
homie do the math
i was built to last
And maybe you don't like to be within your skin
i know exactly the predicament you're in
cause not too long ago I found myself in that same hole
But we can all get out because I found the road
now we gotta roll
You've got to learn to be yourself
'though it might take
some time
Play the hand that you were dealt
Learn to be
yourself
Ya gotta get in where ya fit in
Even when that inner you is freakin trippin
Ego strippin
Long division
got a lot of crazy talent far as I can tell
bet ya didn't know that i think that you're dope as hell
Frankly got me captivated like a magic spell
here to give em hell
and do it very well
Sometimes I wanna be Beef Thom, and star in a rom-com
pretending to be strong like I'm a nerd phenom
pitch beefyness.com while singing the thong song
with Tanner and Ty's mom
Feel awesome- more often than not
Even though sometimes I feel my story's missing a plot
if ya live a life of lying and you're bound to get caught
know the futures out to get ya, better show what ya got
and stay hot
that's whats up
You've got to learn to be yourself
'though it might take
some time
Play the hand that you were dealt
Learn to be
yourself
You gotta get in where you fit in
Cause you're a glove, not a mitten
Hard hittin'
precisely written
whether you a thunder cat or a cool kitten
Get down with your bad self
or your good self too
it's all you
tautologically, it' true
that's right too
What starts as a facsimile is tied to your identity
Back before we know the truth of what we wanna really be
Pretend to be professions just to see if it fits
Imagination running wild, that's how it is when you're kids
They say that imitation's really flattery, and that'll be
Reminding me of '89, I spoke of Individuality
Avidly writing rhymes, 'though I came across as preachy
DEEP FREEZE! I needed to cool out, the years would teach me
Briefly, it makes sense - Start out with a template
and adjust, but there's some things I had to get straight
Be yourself and speak from the heart
and that's a key ingredient when it comes to your art
There's not a person on the planet who can speak from your perspective
Not 100 percent, so don't neglect it
Find your voice, don't speak out of turn
but to get to that point you gotta learn..
You've got to learn to be yourself
'though it might take
some time
Play the hand that you were dealt
Learn to be
yourself
