Lyrics:
“Ay kids, happy holidays. You know who doesn’t wish you a happy holidays, though? Those people that say it’s not ok to record music. Damn…

It’s whatever
Whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever…

It’s whatever if you’re ready, I don’t mean to rush ahead of you
But I’m stocked up like Getty, plush as a teddy, sober and steady
I’ve been eating my veggies, comfy at 70
Don’t pester with me that dead shit, that’s dead to a G
I’m prepped like a Lexi needs
What you trying to get into? It’s fine to bring a friend too
I know you think I’m mental cause I don’t do what your friends do
But this swag ain’t rental, hit to life like an instrumental
Leave that petty shit at home, I ain’t paying for your incidentals
What you need a line or something? I don’t need lines for nothing
I’m fine with discussion if you got substance
A coffee date, sure once, but maybe that’s a sign of a dummy
The type of person only live in their 20’s, online
Pick a destination if we’re going for a ride
I’m good in any situation, even going in blind
If I ain’t dressed for the occasion, I’m at least gon try
Every day I wake up is a new lease on life
I’ve measured it out, it’s slower to go around
There’s an easier route, but habit compounds
The best time for action is right now
Let’s make it a day we want to write down
I’m laced up, whatever your name is
I don’t discriminate, gravel or pavement
You don’t need to put a face on, or lace front, think pragmatist
Everybody’s young until they’re cantankerous
I’m light on my feet like merino wool
Yea, we can keep it cool, follow the rules
C’mon, for real, let’s strategize a shoot
I’ll take the point if you can follow through
Ay, dead ass, I’m getting sick of sitting, flicking pictures
This is simpleton, I can’t wait another minute
This is silly, I’m worked up at the engine, now steam has gotta exit
I’m a whole man, not an increment, if we’re talking inches and measurements
You can probably tell I’m not the whiny type
There aren’t too many folks that I kinda like
To reach any goal, I’ve had to climb and hike
I have a shocking tale like a lightning strike
I’m gassed up, not a deadpan yes man
I sweat bullets, that’s why I need a headband
Spontaneous, pull up with a set plan
I’m not lucky, I don’t leave it to chance
I get nervous, I don’t really get scared though
It’s water under the bridge if I miss a ho
Kiss a ho under mistletoe, friend a foe, shit a post
If it takes a bit longer for me to hit a goal, oh well
Today snow fell, I still feel swell
My spirits are high I am not in a cell
Healthy, no Omicron, I can smell
I could go on and on like I’m possessed in a spell
Just some little 4-bangers, just slight though
All law unruly, I’m raw danger
When I’m in the wild, I see all angles
You got my number, make a call stranger
You know I’m just up the way
Carpe diem, seize the day, time is gold, no weight
Early bird gets the worm but this isn’t May
This is the invitation, don’t get glaciated
Think of deliberate making fun, out of nothing, for your own sake

For your own sake. Seriously. Alright, kids? For your own sake, lighten up.”

Lyrics:
I've been doing my own thing
I've been hanging on by a thread
But I don't see it as a threat
Or let it get to my head
See I've been stitched up by the medics
Now I made some better friends, graduated
And I'm feeling better n stronger than ever

And got a couple things to address
Yea yea yea, all that i wont put to rest
This ain't a podcast, I promise
Nah, nah, nah, no time to remiss

Thank you for all you've been so far

I'm still alive
N I hope you're still with me
I hit the ground, I didn't know how to pick myself up
But now I'm back and stronger than ever
Were still alive
And I pray you're still living your best life
I fell off hard, and you jumped off with me
How could the world ever know what our love is like

I'm on a mission, don't forget it
Im a lil different, don't regret it
Pissed, bloody, sweaty, overzealous
I mighta lost it, now I'ma dead it
You don't remember
I do this like I know no different
I must be dumb because I ain't a quitter
run
Hitting runs like a sprinter
Flow
Hitting flows and woes and goals just like a river

Get it with me, get it with me
Getting plenty, getting plenty
Pay attention, don't be little
No pun intended, not one to mess with
Big muscle, I like em heavy
I'm really healthy, ay ay ay

I'm still alive
N I hope you're still with me
I hit the ground, I didn't know how to pick myself up
But now I'm back and stronger than ever
Were still alive
And I pray you're still living your best life
I fell off hard, and you jumped off with me
How could the world ever know what our love is like

Come and let me give you a lil some to play with
Motivation
It's this thing I've always had, let me explain it
When you're cut out, ripped off, put down, and called million names
You find ways make a change
And make sense of certain faces
Listen, this is our time
And it takes a certain type of impatience
To love you like this
To get lost in your will
Don't trip on me, I'm positive
I'm barely conscious, common sense
Cmon rock with me

Motivation, yea I cant stay here
Gotta make it
Can't be complacent
See it, gotta take it
Be him, I am me
Thats just all I need
Is situation
No I can't fake it
Snap and all the things waiting
Skip all of that lil hating

I'm still alive
N I hope you're still with me
I hit the ground, I didn't know how to pick myself up
But now I'm back and stronger than ever
Were still alive
And I pray you're still living your best life
I fell off hard, and you jumped off with me
How could the world ever know what our love is like

I've been doing my own thing
I've been hanging on by a thread
But I don't see it as a threat
Or let it get to my head
See I've been stitched up by the medics
Now I made some better friends, graduated
And I'm feeling better n stronger than ever

Lyrics:

"Hear me out, don't block me babe
We're free, not locked in a cage
Let's breathe, not flock to the same
I'm a G, not a gangbang fa-
I love to teach, n you got a grade A a-
We're free, no need to relate
My past is filled with red flags
And yours white linens
We're both into women, neither of us devout Christians, I guess

Call me a sucker
Cause I tend to fall
Fall too hard on the first kiss
All of these women
And I'm still a sucker
Looking deep in her eyes
Tryna find something

Call me a sucker
Cause I tend to fall
Fall too hard the first time
All of these women
And I'm still the sucker
Looking deep in her eyes
Trying to find someone

Ay baby, you know how I come with it
Moo moo moo n then I run wit it
Ay nice shoes, what have you done with em
What do you do, where did you come from
I like your style, I can tell you practiced that
And you say you're not into fashion
With laugh straight out an anime
Acting like a dork in your glasses
I can barely handle it
Listen, you don't need to be made up
I'm a man, I know you're attractive
Matter of fact, don't waste my time on that
Our gains match, that's simple mental math
You say you're busy so pencil me in
But no need for coffee dates and dinners
I got something a little different
We should just kiss and get it over with

Or maybe we should overthink it
Mess around and start drinking
Really I don't need anything from you
I just believe in a thing
I can make you love man
With my words and my actions
Even if it's short lived
We can be in love for a minute
It's true
And no one can take that feeling
I'm way through the ceiling
And I can make you feel it too

Call me a sucker
Cause I tend to fall
Fall too hard on the first kiss
All of these women
And I'm still a sucker
Looking deep in her eyes
Trying to find something

Call me a sucker
Cause I tend to fall
Fall too hard the first time
All of these women
And I'm still the sucker
Looking deep in her eyes
Trying to find someone

Ay shorty, you know how I do this
I come direct no passive aggression
My past is a mess but I'll gladly address it
I love what you're wearing but I'd gladly undress you
And if you ask me a question
I'll be happy to help you
I'm sadly unselfish
And cocky as hell but
I'll call you my partner
If we shake on it healthy
And you promise you'll always be filthy
Listen, I love a good plan
But I'm down for whatever
We can go dancing
Get romantic
Or go on an adventure
Roll up some tree, roll up some treats
Finding ways to make money in between
I know you're a freak
You can do both
And that's the part that sticks to me

Sexy infinity
Oh silly me
There I go again
You say I'm too nice
I'm a player, right
Not a writer
But I find the fire
Roll the dice
N strike the light up
No denying it
I don't get tired easy
Back to back
I'm ready for anything
That brought you close
Now we have moments

Call me a sucker
Cause I tend to fall
Fall too hard on the first kiss
All of these women
And I'm still a sucker
Looking deep in her eyes
Trying to find something

Call me a sucker
Cause I tend to fall
Fall too hard the first time
All of these women
And I'm still the sucker
Looking deep in her eyes
Trying to find someone"

Lyrics:
Oh you
You

If you want to fall in love my friend
We have both our places set
But we don't need to change a thing
Or else we might regret it, see

I've been thinking about you while I've been out here on the grind
Like your face up my wall, I've been a fan for a long time
I could see you riding shotgun baby, by my side
I could see you wearing a wedding ring, the only one I'm calling mine

Did you know that, you're my muse
I fight through the tough times
Thinking of you
All those bus lines
Waiting for groups
And dumb jobs just to get through
We tell our life through music and tattoos
You went and got married, and I'm happy for you
I really am
This ain't a sad story
I just have a photographic memory
One moment lasts forever
And we had so many together
For that i thank you

If you want to fall in love my friend
We have both our places set
But we don't need to change a thing
Or else we might regret it, see

I've been thinking about you while I've been out here on the grind
Like your face up my wall, I've been a fan for a long time
I could see you riding shotgun baby, by my side
I could see you wearing a wedding ring, the only one I'm calling mine

Sometimes, it's simple
It's the thick ones, all natural
But in the other light
It's those with principle
Who can fight
Or who follows science
Who is nice
She keeps rocking with me
And that's almost enough in itself
But then she goes and
Levels up again
See it's levels with me
And then she levels with her friends

If you want to fall in love my friend
We have both our places set
But we don't need to change a thing
Or else we might regret it, see

I've been thinking about you while I've been out here on the grind
Like your face up my wall, I've been a fan for a long time
I could see you riding shotgun baby, by my side
I could see you wearing a wedding ring, the only one I'm calling mine

Lyrics:

You gotta learn some of these Milwaukee dances folks. A lot of dancing going on out here.

Do the 50 dance, even though I only got a 38, 9, and 45
You know I'm working on that 556
But give me a minute, it's kind of expensive
Do the 50 dance like I'm Curtis Jackson
Nah fuck that, do the 50 dance like I'm 50k RealStasher
Do the 50 dance like a tweaked out Michael Jackson
Do the 50 dance like you just broke her back on the mattress
Welcome to the show, I'm burning gas like a scatpack
Man I've been only my lonely, I think I need an ass to tag
Let's go to a different planet and then plant a NASA flag
And we can do some table games but I don't do baccarat
Or how about some food or whatever makes you happy fast
I'm looking for a JuJu Watkins to really get some baskets with
And I'd say I love all women but that really comes with an asterisk
Some of yall are nasty bitches, with nasty words, and nasty snatch
With an ass that'll give me an asthma attack
But listen kids, it aint worth it
Keep dancing, do the jerk and shit
All these hos have unrealistic expectations for a man
Doing my 50 dance, I don't need to grit and shit
Never even touched 10k but I'm owed millions
Do the 50 dance, you gotta stay happy with it
Fascists around every corner, trying to take your feelings
But back to the ass smacks
I'm looking for a booty that's fit but gelatinous
So fat I gotta hold it up like Atlas
I'm looking for a bitch to match my snatchness
You can check my resume and check the statlist
I've been a winner since a kid I just don't got my cash yet
Do the 50 dance with my buffs on
And I don't really wear shades but I had to go in
Get a knockoff brand, save the money, and rock that
I'm from the middle of Wisconsin like Rockfest
I'm like Thor how I drop in, fuck that pop shit
Tupac with the bald head, I'm balling like Rawlings
I hear all your hate but this is my calling
They have had my number, they can call me
You made the wrong person rich and that's not on me
So don't come up to me after all this and get on me
We're not homies
Do the 50 dance, yea yea
Do the 50 dance, cmon
Do the 50 dance, let's get it
Do the 50 dance, yea

"50 Dance"

Idk man whipped up a rearrangement!    Been wanting to for a while, first try doing so.

I'd like to do more in the future for some games I am nostalgic for.

Metroid: Zero Mission Title Theme

Just started playing a really nice game called Cave Story.  I remixed one of the tunes from the game.  Enjoy.

Cave Story - Mimiga Town

Discovering The World

Soundcloud reduced the sound quality and tried to make me buy their mastering upgrade for 5 quid just to get it sounding normal again.

Breaking The Code

Hi, y'all!

Name's Tristan, or Butch, or 'Cast Iron Pan' depending on where I meet ya lol, too many nicknames these days.

I am going to try a lot of different genres here - this project is mostly going to be me experimenting and learning the DAWs and other tools.

Keeping it simple with very simple tools as well - everything is self-produced and live tracked with real instruments (mostly), all manned by yours truly.

AND yeah I know the art is super shoddy at the moment lmao - that's kinda the point but It should get better later.

Thanks for stopping by!
