Unreleased snippet from February 24, 2023 live at Terminal 5


Lyrics:
I keep the key to your heart for incidentals
Tunnel vision, stuck like barnacles on what's propping the big picture
Take it long for the ride
Long enough, we ended up fine for once, finally (???)
The heavy measure that I'm in
The message couldn't be missed
The he-

Lyrics:
Bells rung
Send a mail up high to the sky home that I fell from
Bail us out the vine, mask over my eyes just like a welder
Tails puttin out a binds baptized in the fires applaud failure
I tried to tell you
You never gonna get a rise out of a real one
Tough like Ryan spelt Orion size heavyweight titles on a belt tucked
Flying in on a wine i hit a maelstrom wild side that I am bro
I see you ain’t moved in a while
Ain’t gonna lie, you probably should getcha sails up
Time’ll tell who the hell won
Promise I don’t know who would sell ya
Bear cubs, head hunt while out there probably do it for breadcrumbs
Provided shelter
Dug well enough to find some kind of wealth
Minding to myself, gumboots the bottom started to melt
So I felt stuck, steel cut not showing the shield, love
Spill blood

Staggered In - Earl Sweatshirt

Part of Outtheway! performed live at the BUKU Festival on March 23, 2019.



Lyrics:
Please get out the fucking way
My brother told me that he can't get it any other way
I'ma need a bunch of space
We crunchin' numbers for the day on gang shit
Under gray clouds every summer it ain't rainin'
We don't take crumbs from off the loaf
Hoe you gon' pay me what you owe me
Niggas lying under oath in their arraignment
Flea shit, niggas not flee, you got fleas
Bitch, you mangy, labeled
Motions only, we don't go the same speed
Shoot ya shot, it start to take a toll
That never grazed me, play your role
We got the juice and all the pulp
We scooped your main squeeze
Chubby and I'm dangly
Run me up the totems off his waist
The rattle snakes
You niggas shakin' in ya socks
Operation get atonement
It ain't safe to say you made it
We gon' make it like P and Jada, praises to The Lox
Nothing sacred but the codes
But we crack 'em like the locks
Give me flowers while I'm breathing
Then parade me when I'm pushin' daisies
Cookin' baby, maybe I could try
Mood fluctuating like the changes in the tides
God unresponsive-

Lyrics:

[Intro Skit: "The Incredible Hulk (TV Series 1977–1982)"]
Dr. David Banner, Physician/Scientist, searching for a way to tap into the hidden strengths that all humans have
Then an accidental overdose of gamma radiation alters his body chemistry
And now, when David Banner grows angry or outraged, a startling metamorphosis occurs
The creature is driven by rage and pursued by an investigative reporter
Mr. McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry

[Verse]
(Yessir!)
Keep coming of age, on another page
To my mother baby
My love come with reservations for two
Got on my own, that’s age three
Stood up in my seat at the table
The blue [?]
I take it, I'm ready for war
They built me this way, I might just come [?]
I hate [?]
They pay me, I ball up my fingers
My heart and my thought off the miles of road
You would take for the inches I gave you
It feel like the walls is closin' in on me so they gon' get caved in
Been spoke, and picked over the bones
In the closet for your entertainment
[?]
My memory foggy, the dimmest it’s been in a minute
I can dig it
Recall when it hit me
Like these niggas gotta be kidding, not resilient
I pick up my side of the script
For the time he was sippin'
[?]
Blue Benjamin, all my friends dead
[?]
[?] I misstep, I plan on whatever-
I fell in love with the syntax
I fell in love with the limerick
When shit always went bad in flash, that's like a Lemony Snicket
And times it was tragedy, it make you laugh
We had to be stand up niggas
With the foot that don't stand on trenches
So the crooks in my camp make sense
Plead the fifth and I handle business
Rally up, [?] the riches
[?] like I had no limbs
With the foot that don't stand on trenches

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
-love cut a little deeper
Don’t trust the leaf only the ones in the bleachers
2016 I had a dream of my son crawling 'round on the ceiling and I ain’t never seen them
Finally found a meaning condominium for me, him and his mama keep the sweet digs 

[Refrain]
The team did when I was down and down disbelieving, I forgot to
(? Bitch)
The team did when I was down and down disbelieving I forgot to sing it
I forgot a critic caught me (???) whopping out the bottle, drinking
I never got on (???)
High quality old lean spilling out the nozzle leaking 
Its not a problem, I released it

[Hook]
I released it, I released it
I released it
I released it
I re-, I re-, I released it
I released it

[Verse 2]
Big stepper, I don't think your tiny cleats fit me
This level took an awful lot to reach, applying pressure for the diamonds that you seek lifted
Heavy metals that repeats precious 
That's why the belly of the beast hemorrhage 
I got it out the side of these stitches 
I saw you jogging ain't no free liftin' 
I'm at the morning without pretension
I kept on calling, kept on re-sending
Its like I'm born to play a (???) game
I put a quarter in and it changed me
I (???) the law like I ain't seek danger
I pray to God the devil sleep angry
I'm at the morning when I-
Yeah, yeah,
I pray to God the devil sleep angry 
I'm at the morning without pretension 
I kept on calling, kept on re-sending
Its like I'm born to play a (???) game
I put a quarter in and it changed me
I'm at the morning without pretension 
I kept on calling, kept on re-sending
And it ain't reaching me

Heavy Metal aka ejecto seato! (Live 2024 England Snippet) - Earl Sweatshirt

Performed live repeatedly in 2023. First at the Couleur Cafe in Brussels, then The Novo, then at the Outbreak Festival and other places, but most popularly from the Outbreak Festival, which is what this one is.



Lyrics:

[Verse]
Somethin' had a hold on me since I was lil, bro
Staff member still stoned, I had 'em at will call
She know where to go for the passionate feel
Fractured appeal and then I had to peel off
Mademoiselle, get bedazzled with gemstones
I chase my own tail, it's a pattern that's well known
You know you lame as hell, stripes on me like Shell Toes
I told the pale bitch I was from Depeche Mode
Nah, I'm just playing I'm from OVO XO
Ten toes down like Frederick Flintstone
Presto, now for the rest of the trick
No use in tryin' stop inevitable shit
The Chupacabra, not really only a myth, bro
I slew the giant, too defiant for the big role
And threw the lighter fluid on what's left of the script
The truth is I was outside cooling, ready to dip
I don't know why you courting the idea of getting gone
It's not just bones
Two sparks, too far-flung to run home
You lost, you softer than crushed wool
In the cut, on the wall like Rust-Oleum
Mister come treat this block like a footstool
I paid the cost, seen it all like the Goodwill
I take a lap through the stars like the Goodyear
I take a stand, took the shot, never stood still
Never mishandled the rock, and I'm plugged in
Do my little dance on your block, like One Wish
You stuck with the scam 'cuz the facts kinda ugly
I flew to Japan and blew racks in Roppongi
Capital country, couple bails in the luggage came in tax-free
So I'ma cut a sale for you cousin
Naturally I'm inclined to feel for your struggle but my palette never got acquired 'nough for the fuck shit
You stay steppin' out of line they feel they should cut you
Black cats bloody scat pack gon dust em
Last laugh chuckle, glass on half-empty
Mask half-pulled up, but that dropped quickly
Hands on, pat-down man upon call entry
At the house, skippin' every crash out mission
Gotta move tack holler 12, watch ya 6 kid
I'll hold ya back down 'til the bitter ending
Globetrotting like The Flash
One city to the next, fuck with me off the strength
Go ghost like Casper
I promise you ain't seen the last of me yet
Globetrotting like The Flash
One city to the next, fuck with me off the strength
Go ghost like Casper
Promise you ain't seen the last of me yet
I'm only, yo, uh

[Chorus]
My friend, I'm only cleanin' up my half of the mess
I'm only leaving 'cuz I have to, my friend
I'm only leaving 'cuz I have to, my friend
I'm only cleanin' up my half of the mess
I'm only leaving 'cuz I have to, my friend


Plugged In (2023 Outbreak Festival) - Earl Sweatshirt

Performed live at Camp Flog Gnaw in 2019. Then again in 2021, along with multiple times in 2022. Usually called Homebound, or DEMONED UP. Produced by Ibliss, whom he shouts out before performing the song.



Lyrics:

[Verse]
Hard times when I needed touch
Need a crutch, need a hug, harsh lines on the easel, blood
Even keeled, but with death, the infrequent brush test me
Don't speak em' up, speakers hum
Free the thugs, we don' weeped enough
Recently released a steam, when I pieced him up
Mischievous as my uncle, mischievous as Juanita was
Peace to Juanita son for checking in
Must have felt the deviance I'm delving in, I'm demon'd up
Forehead creases, dimpled cheeks betray the feeling
Play the shield til' I play the villain
In the field, the killing joke whispering in a ear
Sentimental, a voice quivering with despair
Up there where the air thinner
The mountaineer keep a sharper pair of shears with him
Clip a clear path to the endless
Stack up meal ticket, hands sticky
The tar shiny black, time - you can't buy it back
Please don't throw me to the briar-patch, got his ass!

[Chorus]
I'm back home and I gotta laugh
I'm back home and I gotta laugh
The siren song got me out a jam
And in a, and in a flash, climbing in a bath, damn

Tar Baby - Earl Sweatshirt

Snippet from an Instagram live on October 14, 2019 of MAVI previewing an unreleased song he's on as a feature by Earl Sweatshirt called Soiree. He confirmed the name in the comment section to an Instagram post from a fan after a concert in Charleston, South Carolina from the Shadowbox tour on November 10, 2024. Sometimes, this song is called Sun & The Moon, Off The Earth, or On The Earth by fans. Full footage is unknown, along with a full CDQ. 



Lyrics:

[Intro]
I’m the sun so I’m-

[Verse: Earl Sweatshirt]
Pain
Nigga hurts parade
How would it hurt for 6 days straight?
Grateful on the turn
When they say “it’s probably he never learn”
Swervin' into your honor cuz you on the earth

[Verse: Mavi]
He’s slipping in and out of Ben-Obalobi’s shoes
Ankles peddles skinned up Lil' niggas follow no rules
Except the tenches, lesson blessin’ like the sub plus the mud to take the garden of fruit
And I’m the sun so I’m guarding my moon
And I’m a real nigga so I build with my hands
Not never with my fingers, teachable-

Soiree [2019 Snippet] - Earl Sweatshirt (ft. MAVI)

Performance of Psyche, a song with CDQ's from 2014-2015 being performed on June 18, 2016 at the Belasco Theater. This includes the verses from both seperate CDQ's rapped as 2 different verses in one song. In the CDQ leaks, the verses were leaked separately, one missing the full first verse, and another missing the second verse. The official second verse to the song uses the same verse as Earl's song with Stoney Willis, Nu Stogie. However, in this live performance, Earl doesn't do the first intro lines. This song is usually called Awkward Face by fans, but in the file, it shown as Psyche.



Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Half the niggas you know put cappin' in it
And the game is my son, I'm the daddy
I'm swattin' them fuckin' finger rolls
Spiff for the give-and-go
Good before the shit hits the hole (Pause)
Buddy, I'm a great look
Nigga, it's the swamp, but most of young niggas weight push
Like they in the yard doggin'
Backwood on my lip, hoodie blacker than all my forefathers
On an interlude or an interview lookin' bored
Awkward face, chopped and screwed, 'cause I hate the stench when a whore talkin'
Quick wit that the kids in the hall doubted
Never had time for bitches, too busy denyin' counselin'
Thorough niggas only ones worth it to ride out with
Pussy nigga, get your blouse stitched
How's this for starters? (Lit)
Lit 'til the law get 'em
Call the pallbearers in
Watch 'em fall to the beat (Get 'em all at attention)
I ain't honorin' shit
But my mom in some colds and the obvious shit
And my dawgs in the beats and we cloggin' your row
Of your block or your street and your blog and your feed
I bet you wish you could hit the reef, bitch

[Verse 2]
I am the shooter reloaded
Who only move with the motive to kill it
Music is coca, know that I roast it and flip it
It's nothing
Sniffling hoes accustomed to dick in they throat
I bust on the tip of they noses (Y'all need a napkin or something?)
Just use this stack of this money
I only laugh cause it's funny
Whip an ass and rap with laxative tummy, shit
And I need that wall plastered with them plaques and that cash in abundance
Catch me on 'Fax with a couple cancer sticks
Hit me for cold and passionate loving, ho, only khakis I'm cuffing
Little man with no manners, bitch I am actually dusty



(Outro)
That's enough, man!
Shouts out my nigga in the suit, man!
Make some noise!

WELL DONE! by Earl Sweatshirt live at Carnation, Washington on August 11, 2024. Earl may have repeated the lyrics accidentally on this performance, but this version of the song still sounds amazing regardless.



Lyrics:
Bells rung
Send a mail up high to the sky home that I fell from
Bail us out the vine, mask over my eyes just like a welder
Tailspun out of binds baptized in the fires applaud failure
I tried to tell you
You never gon' get a rise out of a real one
Tough like Ryan spelt Orion size heavyweight titles on a belt tucked
Flying in on a wine i hit a maelstrom wild side that I am bro
I see you ain’t moved in a while
Ain’t gonna lie, you probably should getcha sails up
I tried to tell you
You never gon' get a rise out of a real one
Tough like Ryan spelt Orion size heavyweight titles on a belt tucked
Flying in on a wine i hit a maelstrom wild side that I am bro
See you ain’t moved in a while
Ain’t gon' lie, you probably should getcha sails up
Provided shelter
Dug well enough to finding some kind of wealth
Minding to myself, gumboots the bottom started to melt some
I felt stuck, steel cut not showing the shield, love
Spill blood

[Verse: Earl Sweatshirt, El Cousteau]
-to town, turnin' up the temp
Pronoun him, burned down spliff
Window on the townhouse got tint
I been broke out of the mix
Damn!
Just been real calm in the mid
Damn!
Whisper put a thought in the wind
This a personal part of the deal
You get hurt, you can't holler or yell
Where it's fertile is where we gon' build
Cracked a smirk in the bank at the till
All blue strips, faded to tip
They on bullshit, they wasn't real
Huh
These babies need food in their bellies
We need to-
Get hit with exuberant interest
They face lookin' stank when we shoot in the buil'
Damn!
Stable with something resilient
Shh
My patience ran through, gotta chill

Plugged In (Edited Instrumental) - Earl Sweatshirt

Performed live in Austin, Texas on July 31, 2025 during the "Good Vibes Only" Tour. Possibly a SURFGANG collab.

[Verse]
Breaking it open
At the end of the day I'm a soldier
It ain't the only thing I ever known
Gotta admit, I can't wait for a moment
Paying what you owe
My nuts drag on the floor, choke
Big hand on the totem pole
Top ranking it something to smoke
Where niggas go like tone low
Where singing what I'm supposed to
In the end zone like T-O
Hit a little jig like 454
R.I.P to Bra Willie, Illinois 
In the bed that I was before
Part of my eight, semi as strong
Gimme the wink, breaking down the place
Still can't hit a bowl
Niggas lame, try not to assume
He swear that he made it, his shot really full
He got hella neck for the shots in a loop
Buddy respect, power and pull
Coming in snake for the opp niggas moon
Hide 15 milligrams under the room
I admit it, I'm sticking the blue
This shit getting tricky, but we getting through it
My bars okay like a sewer
These bitches look stars for what niggas born
I'm watching the shit on mute
My heart on the chopper, block flee
I would go to war with myself for you
I had to show love to myself for you
Watching the shit on mute
My heart on the chopper, block flee
I would go to war with myself for you
I had to show love to myself for you
I kept rolling up and it was therapeutic
We the jump, we first for improvement
Now we just popping up out of the blue
Word to the truest
Word to the truest
Now we just popping up out of the blue

"Sink My Heart", a song MIKE has been performing since 2017, was performed live with Satellite Syndicate NYC on June 27, 2020.

Lyrics:

[Verse]
I'm not gonna smoke all this dope on myself
I made money, I made friends leave
Now I'm worried bout my health
I used to hurt but I don't worry bout the wealth
But I can't even look in my reflection without second guessing
[?] finessing without the heavy weapons
I need my check made
Heart pumping till my chest break, break bread
Squad hunting till you make less, day dead
See that some make way on the pavement
I see it's fun pretending you with the gang shit
I see my son getting late for the same shit
This the face, they say the phase, but
It's been 10 years, still, we the same stuff
I see a lift right, we don't hit the same bud
I keep my fist tight chains up
Catch me in the midnight lurking
If you tryna get right, maybe you should hit Mike Vernon
I set armors like the spliff I'm burning
In the next morning I don't know if I'ma be here
And though the rain, I can see clear
I'm the shepard, open gates when the sheep near
I'm doing better then they pray for me to reach, yeah
Each year I repair
The shutter so it's put me out the deep end
My mother always help me when I need it
Bro, the city streets [?] sleepless

[Hook]
Sink my heart when it cuts me into pieces
And sink my heart when it cuts me into pieces
From the start, you been loving me, gave me what I needed
And sink my heart when it cuts me into pieces
And sink my heart when it cuts me into pieces
