lyrics

(Claud Six)
Claudy at the urban farmhouse combatting cabin fever
Peter Piper’ing summer peppers to stuff and pack the freezer
Fame and the fortune, shit I aint after either
I’m just tryna stack a meager stash and limit all my bad ideas
Been bout the BI since I was lugging trapper keepers
Avid dreamer spitting Fukushima through ya crappy speakers
Play with what you dealt, I’m throwing hatchets at the dealers
Take my billionaires medium rare, my salad caesar
Teacher of the Year in Twenty One Nine, I run mine
Two decades in the game, uncompromised and unsigned
We feeding off the ish and growing through it like a fungi
I stepped up in the spot like, “Everybody eats at lunchtime”
It’s Five loaves and 2 fish, Provide no excuses
My mind so Confucius, got the slide show to prove it
My motivation fueled by the high hopes and hubris
I can do this with my eyes closed, don’t blindfold me, stupid

I can do this with my eyes closed
Cruising on the ride home
Moving down the side roads
Eluding any 5-0

I can do this with my eyes closed
Been at it since a zygote
Where did all the time go
Where did all the time go

[Happy Tooth]

This is all just muscle memory.
And it doesn’t make much sense to me.
That’s why I don’t act sensibly.
And not to add insult to injury,
but we don’t want your fucking sympathy.
Music’s just an industry and I’m defective product.
My quality increases I just never raise the cost up.
Contemplating contentment but karma keeps is chaotic.
Artists articulating angst is always the same process.
No delusions of grandeur fit. Had a tour and canceled it.
Humans are so cancerous and the future’s been tampered with.
Nothing ever really stops me except the setting sun.
They said the bad times are coming so I said let em come.
I let my axis spin and write raps in pen.
Until the past begins.
My body of work oddly a blur.
How long’s it been?
I’m not even sure.
Stopped in traffic to write a word or phrase,
or a quiet thought I can’t say to a person’s face.

(Chorus)
