Tune Out

lyrics

Man I keep your head spinning
A rapping Baryshnikov,
My style’s straight deadly but Asher has just a cough,
Fuck Mr. Roth! Man I’m nothing like Ash, that cat
Dropped out of College
I’m at the top of my class,
I’ll never stop getting knowledge
That’s something awesome that lasts,
Man I’ve placed out of classes Asher Roth couldn’t pass.
As a freshman I would sit and pay attention,
Listen to they lesson cause the shit they spit’s impressive
Steady lifting up the mess that all our ignorance brings
Till it’s alleviated…and I still find time to be inebriated
B, I’m blazing basically whenever I hear bong,
Start to rap, stop…hear everyone cheer on,
You fell off a path that I never have veered on,
The sad part is: I bet I’m better at beer pong.
All this while getting knowledge dude,
So I love college too
And that’s why I plan to be here all four years long

(Radio tuning into Revolution 9, by the Beatles, then to Midnight Sonata, by Mel Hsu, the first track off her debut album: This Living Room)

Despite what my ego may have said:

Nothing’s as statue as it seems.

We’re all made of river.

So let go
Of the self protecting narrative

Since none of this is yours.

But all of it is you.

There’s no need to be a “Tough Kid”

Buddy Wake
Up.

…And shouts out to Mel, yo, cause she is just on that next level man…she is just nasty.
