For A Second I’m Cool

Lyrics

Part I [Intro] Yeah it's that real boom bap You know that sound that immediately lets you know how old I am as soon as you hear it [Verse 1] Purveying through waveforms that are cool passive Classic jazzy animation don't you just sit on your asses Have you feeling like you're up in Vegas cash stacking Raising up the masts and sailing no anchor dragging so says the captain I made this in isolation, shoulda rented a cabin Read annihilation or throw on some Thoreau, and just imagine The extent of my art hasn't been touched I'm thirty years young and my time in the lab is still clutch I think about it with family and friends, I'm so distant Head spinning mad degrees when you call my name Respond to music with emotion even as just an infant The seductive feel of it, is my long-time shame You are all I had, will I ever love anyone as much as I do The moment when I come upon an effervescent tune Music hugged me when I moved on from bullies at school To trouble at home, I grabbed the headphones Music loved me [Chorus] For a second I'm cool, in this life with no meaning Overstepping the rules, I just stop Consider your perspective and views Every second I've got, I owe it all to you For a second I'm cool, in this life with no meaning Overstepping the rules, I just stop Consider your perspective and views Every second I've got, I owe it all to you [Verse 2] That's right, you who are listening Even though you're distant Keep this thing playing I'll be hi-hat delaying Sample uh filtering Vocal pilfering All the things you've come to expect Will come correct I knock out beats on wood Just to say I really can't imagine a day Where I will fall off like my idol Kanye Oops, from beatboxing in bathrooms to humming in hallways To sing in broad day didn't have this confidence always When I hear I inspired you, it's better than every knob I twist Every moment of consciousness writing this shit Every feeling of getting it off my chest, and the rest It's hard to overstate, how much you make me feel like the best I could have 10 dollars and 1000 fans still feel like I copped a hundred grand It's what the lifestyle demands It ain't all about finance or romance Before thinking about who you'll be kissing what you're missing is who's listening [Chorus] For a second I'm cool, in this life with no meaning Overstepping the rules, I just stop Consider your perspective and views Every second I've got, I owe it all to you For a second I'm cool, in this life with no meaning Overstepping the rules, I just stop Consider your perspective and views Every second I've got, I owe it all to you [Outro] Haha, I know that Kanye line was cheap But somebody's gotta take the cheap shots Yeah, oooh Part II [Verse] When you when you when you See me in the cafe with a coffee don't fade me My internet was out and my flow is so lazy Beats by the pack and I'm looking like a snack Your crew seems to lack like a donut no glazing I'm the best video game composer of the decade Catch me playing Makoto in third strike in arcades Catch these plans before they disappear into the archives When I'm dead my discography, will look like I had five lives No less than three albums every year that I'm alive RIP my hard drive from before 2005 I never forget you baby, it's what made me You'll be better off if your career just never takes off Not even every brother Karamazov could carry me obviously I'm a VIP so please don't tarry me My styles are like a grab bag you gravitate to This style is like a swag rap that aggravates you [Outro] 2 Mello, 2018 keeping it so obscene Said I was gonna go clean in 2014 but the world's too damn mean Yeah, yeah Not ready to die yet, still got more projects World is a fuck
