Lyrics- 

Screaming "Fuck these bitches that are basic" (ha, ha, ha, yeah)

I learn a lot about myself by not giving up
(This day in age, I need a chain more than I need a belt)
A spell to try, and try again, just to live it up
(If I maintain, will I obtain more than I thought was dealt?)

A funky rhythm for the people who don't give a fuck
(Not entertained or ever phased by how a sucker felt)
Dance with me all night until the morning comes
(Because it's lame to be afraid of what others tell each other)

Undercover, each other has a different front
We make another play while the haters yell
We create our own heaven while they discuss
And aim up to the planes because we live in hell

If only I could party all day and night
But if I didn't feel a struggle, could I even tell?
What will they think about all my aim and such?
Like, if this rap shit didn't happen, would I get hard and bail?

Push me down to the dirt and I'll just toughen up
I'm not acting like I'm packing or I got drugs to sell,
I'm just a lonely ass kid up in my brain
And much of what I think I don't say, so I just exhale, thinking

I fly to fly higher, strolling down another peaceful dream
I ride with all my riders, rolling paradise under palm trees

I fly to fly higher, strolling down another peaceful dream
I ride with all my riders, rolling paradise under palm trees

On my own, walking on this lonely road (yeah, yeah, the only one)
Pay my toll in the only life I seem to know (yeah, yeah, the only one)

If I'm weak, I promise that I will not change (yeah, yeah, I promise)
They call me "the solemn poet with no name" 
(What they call me dawg? Nothing)

I learn a lot about myself by not giving up
(This day in age, I need a chain more than I need a belt)
A spell to try, and try again, just to live it up
(If I maintain, will I obtain more than I thought was dealt?)

A funky rhythm for the people who don't give a fuck
(Not entertained or ever phased by how a sucker felt)
Dance with me all night until the morning comes
(Because it's lame to be afraid of what others tell each other)

Undiscovered, my love was just another doubt
What this really was, I thought I couldn't know
I guess I'll do what I do best while I'm on this route
And write down a feeling that nobody showed

With the vision in my mind as I feel the breeze
Sometimes, I think I might die with sand on my feet
After all this time, my end has not been reached
I know the words will live forever, even in defeat

My whole life I've been climbing Mount Everest
When I reach the top, I know I'll hold the holy grail
I'm still a boney ass kid up in my heart
And much of what I feel I don't express, so I just inhale, thinking

I fly to fly higher, strolling down another peaceful dream
I ride with all my riders, rolling paradise under palm trees

I fly to fly higher, strolling down another peaceful dream
I ride with all my riders, rolling paradise under palm trees

I WAS HERE

Rolling Paradise

This week we're devoting our episode to the anniversary of the 2016 election of Donald J. Trump, the statement by the AIA CEO Robert Ivy, and the subsequent dissent born out of the hashtag #NotMyAIA. We look to what has changed, and what hasn't; as it relates to the profession, activism and education, and what does the future portend. Joining me today are Katherine Darnstadt, founder and principal at Chicago-based Latent Design, V. Mitch McEwen, founder and principal at Brooklyn-based A(n) Office, principal of McEwen Studio, and assistant professor at Princeton School of Architecture, and Rosa T. Sheng, AIA LEED AP BD C, principal at SmithGroupJJR, AIASF President Elect - 2018 Board.

This week, Donna and Ken are joined by Indianapolis Architect and ARE Sketches author, Lora Teagarden. Lora is an architect with RATIO Architects and L^2 Design. On this podcast, we'll be discussing three news items from the website. First up is the controversy around the proposal for the "Tallest Building in Portland" by the architecture firm William Kaven. Second is the Op-Ed on "Boring Architecture" by LA Times architecture critic, Christopher Hawthorne. Last is a provocative interview with OMA partner, Reinier de Graaf, by the folks at Failed Architecture called, "Architecture is in a State of Denial".

This is a rehearsal of part of the polyrhythmic max patch that actually broke directly before the gig, so I couldn't play with it, really fucking frustrating, one day I will do this again with all the other parts of the patch which I never got to try out.
