LYRICS:
Intro:
I met a gypsy and she hipped me to some life game. (4x)
 
1st verse:
Since I was a small fry, knew I had big dreams. Chased em like a rookie after championship rings. Mama told me diamonds from the hardest of bed rock, and if I wanted to glow up had to polish my spirit clean. Cuz you ain’t made for all palates, taste comes acquired.  If they can’t copy and paste, they’ll control- alt-erase your profile. And the debased get that check as if good faith been retired. Keep us silent while we serve as inspiration for hire. Absurd. I come from tribal women, gold fronted and baby haired. A run in our tennises a mile or two may disturb. Fed the world with our innards gave em housing between these curves.  Now the public tenants think they entitled to the reserves. That’s a negative like I’m overdrafted. Access to my assets legislated and passed, this here craft got me teaching dudes class like the Praxis.  Cuz they been trying me and my Sojourners just for practice.  Whole globe spinning on my double X axis. Graphite tinted grandmothers in the ashes. I’m the Phoenix flinging winged prayers from my passages. Resurrecting fully blown dreams from the fractures. Roc!
 
HOOK: 
I met a gypsy and she hipped me to some life game.
Yes Ma’am 
I met a gypsy and she hipped me to some life game.
Ok
I met a gypsy and she hipped me to some life game.
I did
I met a gypsy and she hipped me to some life game.
One day
(2x)
 
2nd verse:
 Everything I am been diagrammed, blue printed, and planned. Yet everybody throwing their two cent in the can. Lotta treasure had to get off my chest so I’d expand. In heart, light as a feather. In art, a fire brand. No apologies necessary, qualifiers are banned. This is God level, judgment is out humanity’s hands. Got a fanbase admiring my touch from the promised land. I’m Tubman, clutching my freedom to bust like a talisman.  Eff your respectability efforts to police me. I’m from where the sharp tongued, neck rolling Chiefs be. Learned to run with wolves in case a shyst tried to fleece me. Got ice watered veins from broken life promises. See-
Met a gypsy with some door knockers and a quartz rock across her two wrists.  Said her temple turned into a fortress cuz the cost of worship too risky. Spit a universe out the mouthpiece and its seeds out my uterus. Never had a table seat so I’m chasing bread like it’s sacred- call it the Eucharist.  Every spoken word invoke women battered but never broken. This that sharecropping, hatchet toting, poetry in motion. This is TransAtlantic echoes out the floors of salted oceans. Make me a living portrait of my sisters’ voices for the culture.
 
HOOK: 
I met a gypsy and she hipped me to some life game.
Yes Ma’am 
I met a gypsy and she hipped me to some life game.
Ok
I met a gypsy and she hipped me to some life game.
I did
I met a gypsy and she hipped me to some life game.
One day
(2x)

LYRICS:
I kinda feel like a stowaway (Okay)
I’m positive that it’s a negative connection
I’ve got a cup full of Novocaine (Okay)
Stairway to Heaven hope my name’s on the guest list (Go away)
My stress gets trapped between the shoulder blades
Searching for some benefits for perfect attendance
Keep attention span attentive like we dance around an open flame
I’ll trade a couple silver linings for some golden days
I confess I’m still trying to impress papa
I guess that I’m expecting I’ll see him again haha
Laughing on a cloud in some wings and a toga
And he’s asking why I never left Minnesota
Keep in mind previously thought impossible to find
All of these pieces that were needed to complete the design
I’m on the final lap then I go back to give my wife a spinal tap
Still writing rhymes like somebody got the time for that
 
The temperature’s rising but it’s colder than Hell
I never feel alone when I’m alone by myself
I try to sing along but I don’t know what you said
And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath
The temperature’s rising but it’s colder than Hell
I never feel alone when I’m alone by myself
I try to sing along but I don’t know what you said
And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath
 
Tell me do you ever feel like an accident
Have you ever felt trapped beneath an avalanche
Do you ever ask if this experience is seriously happening
Me neither I can’t imagine it
We gotta pick up the pieces and keep traveling
Or maybe you can handle a hammer and build a ladder and
Explore the storm to find the source of the hunger and the pain
I stole a horse so I could run towards the thunder
And the reins broke and now this beast is my bestie
We used to chain smoke and now we drinking our veggies
We tell the same jokes and pretend that it’s okay 
Already know what Hell felt like when it’s frozen over
Snow covered roller coaster stuck in the alleyway
Dreaming about the day my poster’s up in a gallery
Feel the cold breeze brought me back to reality
I gotta get these groceries back to my family

The temperature’s rising but it’s colder than Hell
I never feel alone when I’m alone by myself
I try to sing along but I don’t know what you said
And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath
The temperature’s rising but it’s colder than Hell
I never feel alone when I’m alone by myself
I try to sing along but I don’t know what you said
And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath (Okay) 

And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath
And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath
And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath
And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath
And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath
And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath
And I’m not suffocating I’m just holding my breath
And I’m not suffocating I’m just

LYRICS:
I like rivers, I like rivers
Sailboats, fisherman, skinny-dipping swimmers
Kids turning rocks over catching lil critters 
Eagle in the pine tree eyeballing dinner
My uncle used to cut school to hit the Susquehanna 
Kept himself a rod and reel he hid up in the bramble 
The school took attendance, it was quiet as a mouse 
He was at the river pulling out a giant by its mouth
A river in the daylight is energy and life
A river in the dark can be a genuine surprise
You might find some lovers getting cozy on the shore 
Or a cold-blooded psychopath disposing of a corpse 
Sitting by the Hudson river talking to a ghost
“I wish that we could rock a beat and smoke an L at Tone's
I miss the way you rhyme and how you never had a clone 
Ain’t a motherfucker living that could ever crack the code"

I like rivers, I like rivers
Freight ships passing through old drawbridges
It looks so cool when you catch it from a distance
A little less cool when you stuck inside your Civic 
I wonder what could possibly be lurking on the bottom 
I look into the water and imagine all the options
A fish we never knew about, some rusty old jalopy 
The murder weapon used to catch the aforementioned body
I seen a beaver chilling by the bank of the Willamette
We gazed upon each other undeniably enchanted
A wave of telepathic information through the filter
It said “when I go to heaven I want you to have the river”
He also said the others had agreed that I was chosen
Just don’t mention it front of them as gloating is for no one 
I'm pretty sure you don't have the authority to say this
But thank you, I accept, I'll have my lawyer draft the papers

I like rivers, I like rivers 
Hard to put a price on water for the village 
I jumped into the Amazon to launder all my atoms 
The Chao Praya had me spilling coffee on the captain
My heart is the East River floating on a frisbee 
That came in from the Long Island Sound to sojourn in the city
It’s not the kinda water where you’d throw a Triple Lindy 
If you get some on your skin they probably notify your siblings
I picture a scenario where someone’s held me captive 
And escape would mean to build a raft and navigate some rapids 
I wonder if my training from the school of tv magic 
Would beget some makeshift watercraft that make off for Damascus 
In practice I have no desire get into the water 
I like to know it’s there in the event I ever wanna 
Waterfalls, tributaries, Lichtenberg figures
Twilight fireflies, I like rivers

LYRICS:
A rotary telephone, a tv antenna
Radio station trying to make me remember
Just thinking out loud right now how this puzzle works 
White walls, pinstripes, curbfeelers and muscle shirts 

Virgo born in purple storm 
Standing on a home made platform
Screaming at a bull horn 
Until the break of morn
Or til I die trying to make the whole room too warm 
Oooh how are? you spend a few minutes 
Less than an hour trying to move in between the space right now 
From the last time I seen your face make shapes outside of digital keepsakes 
Ahhh keep that lonely energy
If only we could kick away the penalties
Make love and peace make a bunch of seeds 
I’ll make anything just to make memories
To put it all in perspective
I’m trying to give everything one hundred percentage of me
And you can take it however you shall 
I wasn’t waving at you anyways, I was waving at the clouds 

A rotary telephone, a tv antenna
Radio station trying to make me remember
Just thinking out loud right now how this puzzle works 
White walls, pinstripes, curbfeelers and muscle shirts 

Come on now even if there was a way to say what I thought about anything
Doubt I’ll waste my breath trying to preach to the crowd
I’m not trying to sell teeth to a crocodile
I’m not in style I don’t think I had the chance 
I was just a child that liked to draw on my pants
I was trying to find a couple answers
I knew I was a problem when I saw your hands up 
Now put the dinner in a bag 
If you call police I’mma burn your flag
Trying to chop this wood like it’s all good 
Like maybe it’ll fix a broken part of my childhood
Ish and you know that’s the link 
Got you chasing realities that went extinct 
White walls, pinstripes, curbfeelers 
And a gold name plate on a four finger ring

A rotary telephone, a tv antenna
Radio station trying to make me remember
Just thinking out loud right now how this puzzle works 
White walls, pinstripes, curbfeelers and muscle shirts 

When the spotlight shine did you finally find
Some kind of peace of mind or a piece of behind
I wrote my number above the hand dryer
It says call for a good vampire
I been a few places on this planet 
Same shit different sandwich 
Coming at you live on borrowed time 
How’s my driving, call me on the party line

A rotary telephone, a tv antenna
Radio station trying to make me remember
Just thinking out loud right now how this puzzle works 
White walls, pinstripes, curbfeelers and muscle shirts

Cuts by Forest Pond

LYRICS:
The brand reads “Animal Farm”
A fugee on the lam, runnin’ with a lamb in my arms 
Trail of rabbits harboring the farmer’s brand of cigars 
And cattle after, after that it’s like a ramp to an arc 
Planned a garlic salmon, already romancing the fingerlings 
When reminded why the ringer’s off, it only ever “ring ring ring” 
Out of radio silence a bad miracle
Panic in the paradigm, attacking the familiar world 
Evacuate, bleeding heart, I had to let the horses out 
Who each step forward to bow free to ignore the corral 
Freedom ain’t a circle per the management’s “normal amount” 
It’s when the chorus vow to normalize the horse’s mouth 
Black Philip free to b-a-a what he b-a-a’s
From a growing blob of jail-broken oxen and hogs
I know some pigs’ll splinter off I seen ‘em mixing with the bosses
Sipping gin, as if the trough is less prestigious than the office 
It isn’t, receiving a transmission from the future 
Where your time around them humans ain’t protect you from they butcher’s Block, a bunch of us are meeting at the moor behind the the Orkin 
You coulda been a presence at the origin
Should you feel unsettled or some melting into madness 
After entertaining more second chances than Velma’s glasses
From a person place or otherwise increasingly disruptive trend 
You could always run the red, or break the glass or jump the fence, yea

It was always all of a sudden 
All’s well 'til it’s all of his palm on the button 
I am always into something 
I am always into something 

It was always all a whodunnit, 
All told, it was all of us up 'til it wasn’t 
I am always into something
I am always into something

I am always into something

I am always into something

I am always into something

I am always into something

I can introduce you to another realm
Help you with the move, but only you can go fuck yourself 
Cut to helter-skelter in glorious technicolor 
With bumper to bumper sending turtle shells at one another
It’s treasure hunters budding in some cannonball running of bulls 
Sweating in the dead of summer, red X on the bread and butter
Pardon while his pedal power shed the inseparable umbra
Reset the pecking order, still ain’t pick a second number
Detective on some "how you get so mega extra ultra?"
I said "never check the weather and always dress for the tundra" 
Merry “Dawn of the Mummy”, heard a call in my slumber
Woke to a thousand years of sauce of the month in a bunker 
Yum, you could be the lunker under pepper X, 
I feel like professor why, why are all my friends depressed? 
Why’s this party feel like when I walked back into Selmer’s Pets
In precious tears like “why are all my tetra dead... yet again? 
Landspeed entirely contextual
Glacial-pace grand prix, “space invader camera B!” 
Cam or not, copy room, camp ground or canteen
Every time you stand down, I pop out yelling “and… scene!” 
Make a million paper cranes, blindfolded
Both arms stuck in different crane games 
Underwater, over coals, whole of his spirit above him 
Call now, I am always into something

I am always into something

I am always into something

I am always into something

I am always into something
