[Verse 1]
Sauce on fire like a Molotov cocktail
Y'all inquire ‘bout my health, well I'm not well
I'm not a liar, but the truth I cannot tell
When I'm in the booth I'ma drop another bombshell
A common enemy is a common incentive
So why does everybody abandon the pensive?
Think quick and the quick thinking gets it
Work together and the benefits immense and
I forgot what I was saying
A lot’s changed my thought process, sane?
I'm all strange, an oddball, deranged
On and off I'm a painful knockoff of fame
A cockamamie enlarged artists rage
Don't bother blaming the bars y'all, refrain
It's not the chorus at all y'all, it ain't
I hope I'm not singing this song all in vain

[Chorus]
I don't care what haters say, I’ma do it anyway
I'm aware I'm made to stay so Ima do it everyday
I don't care'f I fade away, I’ma do it anyway
I’ma do it anyway, everyday, anyway
Everyday, anyway
Everyday, I’ma do it anyway

[Verse 2]
Everybody wanna do it on the big screen
Big dreams, sick schemes in a lit scene
But not everybody gotta move into the rich league
Energy, inner chi, and I sense me
I’ma do what I please, let the rest leave
Letting loose on the street in my friend’s jeep
Got the moves and the beats and my French speech
I’ma do it fucker, I'm a foolish, depressed Tisse
Raps jettisoned, danger, attack, get em in
Maybe in fact making em slap’ll be Matt’s medicine
The mad mania’s made of a magnetic amazing
And magnificent take I’ve amassed in the clip
But Matt’s innocent, I'm past petty shit
Get your ass outta the way, this is Matt’s internet

[Verse 3]
I am not a common man, I'm an anomaly 
Cuz I'm not what I gotta be but I'm on a streak and I'm often heat
I’ve been coughing clean, raw to read, and I'm audible on a beat
And I'm all about "I can" see, I’ma be what I wanna be

This Prison, This Reality

Every Day Anyway

We all get self conscious, dishonest, and phony about our birthdays
We're only hoping no one knows about our earned age
"But Nurse, wait!!" See I'm certain it's a sure fate
It's hopeless, out of time, we only get the first take
My morality's at odds with my mortality
I'm caught between a rock and a hard place on a balance beam
If I fall off, fatality, I'm gone, an awful fallacy
Cowards teach us how to sleep in valor...now at ease
Never lose the youthful and fluid creative juices
Stay intuitive and true to your mood each day when you do it
Gotta dream it lucid or lose it, loosen up, losers
So do whatever you want to do, it's stupid to prove shit
We're staying young at heart, dated punk? We know the part
And play the like we're made of fucking mayhem and a soda, carbonated
Make it pop! ...Cuz coping's hard
This ain't a youngin's soul to bargain, ain't a fucking old fart

I do it all like an old man, raw like an old man
Awkward and off-putting, off with the old man
But I don't wanna be a lost and unknown man
God dammit I don't wanna be an old man
I don't wanna be an old man
I don't wanna be an old man
Do I wanna leave it all? I don't know man
But God dammit I don't wanna be an old man

Old heads hating the youth, we ain't with the trends
In a sense, playing the victims saying we're innocent
Settled, we think of every sentimental synonym
We said to friends, never regret but never ahead of them
Hours pass down fast in the hourglass
Ours last in the past, but are now amassed memories
Forgetting effigies is how we'll last
But we vowed a pact to go out attached
With this immaturity, vision obscured and we're bat-shit, bonkers
A picture imperfect, a fiction of geriatric toddlers
Dawdlers, taking our time, becoming imposters
Life'll leave us behind, passionate monsters

I do it all like an old man, raw like an old man
Awkward and off-putting, off with the old man
But I don't wanna be a lost and unknown man
God dammit I don't wanna be an old man
I don't wanna be an old man
I don't wanna be an old man
Do I wanna leave it all? I don't know man
But God dammit I don't wanna be an old man

They say age is but a number though
I guess we're ripe but we're raw folks
One day we'll wake up from our slumber's hold
Like every night's nothing, y'all know
So light the candles on our cakes, flare
And we don't care how many make it there
Cuz what's a birthday when you waste years
We're gonna make em hate it when we ain't here

I do it all like an old man, raw like an old man
Awkward and off-putting, off with the old man
But I don't wanna be a lost and unknown man
God dammit I don't wanna be an old man
I don't wanna be an old man
I don't wanna be an old man
Do I wanna leave it all? I don't know man
But God dammit I don't wanna be an old man

Shut up, I’m too old for this shit

Reflection of the Self

Old Man

Cool (feat. Cory V) [prod. Nate Williams]

We’ve all been living life as everlasting
Masking the fact that our whole life is in our caskets
Our childhood has faded and our youth is in the past
And we’re bummed cuz we won’t ever get it back
And now we’re buying shit we cant afford, with money we never had
Because really we been bored, it’s funny we never have
A true idea where we’re going, no belief in any path
We’re just spinning our wheels, week after week into weekends afterwards
See we live in an era where the internet is God
Switch it on, and every idiot is clicking for a cause
Our vision of idealism isn’t what we are
So we fidget in a fit but we ain’t listening at all
Y’all...and we never know what's going on
So we fake it til we make it and we hope we’re going strong
Though we’re not, so we welcome dopamine with open arms
Coping with the overdose, it’s hopeless overall
See people love celebrating uniqueness, freak shit
But the irony’s they quit when you deviate from their beat, believe it
People fear what they don’t understand...so keeping
Up appearances is how we’ve all been dealing with it
Getting even is appealing, but it’s fleeting when you feel it
Really if you could see through the bleakness of us heathens
Then you’d realize we’re all the same and breathing
And you’d be alive when all this fades in seasons

Let go of the old friends, make way for new friends
Keep all the true friends, do what we do
You know you knew this, see what the truth is
Keep on improving, through win or lose, oh
Cuz you won’t ever get a better life
If you been clinging onto bitter vibes
And if you bent on living bitter, rise
Cuz you ain’t never really been alive

Listen, I been up on the internet, ignorant I been a wreck
Friends all said it’s better if my medicine is cigarettes
It’s said in jest, but I never knew the difference
If and when I’m innocent I miss ‘em...in a sense
Life is like a fucking buddy comedy, honestly
All my buddies calling me an oddity, appalling 
See I’m all but acclimated, marijuana leaves’ policies
Golly gee, I ain’t tryna start with arguing
We don’t need approval, all we need is our friends, shit
Happens so imagine that we need your attention
Badass in the madness so we flee interventions
Sentient, but we never really even said shit
And yeah we hating getting older
Cuz ain’t nobody know the words we’re singing anymore and
People saying I’m a stoner cuz my brains a little slower
So I’m faded but at least I aint a loner, uh

We don’t need approval, all we need is a good time
We don’t need approval, all we need is a good time

See I do what I wanna do and we been who we wanna be
Call our thoughts our anthem cuz our bonds are all we oughtta need
Believe in culture and die, believe in cult shit alive
And leave the vultures behind to feed on all of these phonies 
To feed on all of these phonies
To feed on all of these phonies
It’s clear that all you don’t know me
Holy shit, lets get it on, we

We don’t need approval, all we need is a good time
We don’t need approval, all we need is a good time
We don’t need approval, all we need is a good time

My past created this Matt who claims he don’t matter, say shit 
A passive statement of abjugation is affirmation 
But after weighing this saddle laden with bags of fake shit 
I have to say I’m a castaway and I act evasive 
I masking mayhem, the average face of a dapper patron 
I’m that ashamed of my habits, waiting for maturation 
A staggered pace, I’m a tad delayed to the adult game 
But half the way to past the breaking point’s still cause for agitation 
My rapid aging exacerbated my rap engagement 
A mad arrangement of added phrases on tattered pages 
The pattern made was a sad display of a lack of patience 
I’m past the pain and I’ve had it, face it I’m bad and basic 
An aberration, clad in anxious exaggeration 
I’m apt to cave in, I’m acting crazed and I have to hate it 
I’m masturbating with aftershave and a pack of razors 
Unpack the blades and I slash a vein open, that’s elation 
A fashion statement, emphatic case of a rabid patient 
I have to say that we’re that insane and we have to take 
A massive vaccination for acting fake with a dash of ape shit 
Detached, I’m taking the path away from this savage wasteland 
Where half the pack of inhabitants have a trashy brain 
And Then the flaccid half of em lack a sack for ejaculation 
They’re splashing gas on our masquerade with a match inflamed 
Chatting, macerating my shattered faith as they spat it tasteless 

It’s like hashtag fuck my feelings 
I never get upset, offensive is appealing 
Because hashtag fuck my feelings 
No one shouldn’t sugarcoat shit, get the real thing 
Hashtag fuck my feelings 
I said hashtag fuck my feelings 
Hashtag fuck my feelings 
Cuz when even real thoughts feel wrong, that’s the real thing

“Who I Am Inside” is a widely relatable song about the battle to balance being yourself with staying socially and professionally acceptable in a simultaneously diverse yet intolerant society.

[Lyrics]
Sometimes it’s like my whole life is made up, cold nights I wake up
And I lay up awake, under my frayed covers and stay up
I don’t know where to place the blame and I’m ashamed I’ve
Been complacent in my hatred and the pain and I’ve been aching for some
Sleep in the silence, peace in the madness
I’m me, undefined as the freak with the glasses
Speech is a pattern, I preach as I lash through my teeth
Tongue in cheek as I speak out my ass, but
Best appear stable, I’d best appear sane
Best appear able to best my fears’ game
Best revere fables, lest I appear lame
Best that I’m clear, label lessons and hearsay

I know who I am inside (inside)
And he won’t do for my best life (and I)
I know who I am inside
And he hates me, cuz he ain’t me
I know who I am inside (inside)
And he won’t do for my best life (and I)
I know who I am inside
And he hates me, cuz he ain’t me

Come on calm down, I’m calm now, see I ain’t gotta fight
Up on the internet, I’ve been a wreck, and I’m working on my life
My friends all said I’d benefit from perking up, I might’ve
Been on medicine, no sedatives, I’ve learned it with my mind
Do they really like me or do they just tolerate me
And all specificity and eccentricities, a solid maybe
I gotta admit I didn’t like it when they called me crazy
Foggy, hazy, balmy, they would often paint me odd, I’m fading
My Asperger’s in fact’s turned into Autism
I ask for all the facts worded in sarcasm
My last hope is my mask, coping in false heaven
Asinine in action, I’m impassioned in my raw set of
Tactics, swerving with the workarounds
Softening the madness, I’m worried I can’t work it out
I’ve been a patchwork, a frazzled mess and I’m burning out
Whatever rational entrapment that I’m working out, I’m sure I’ll drown it out

I know who I am inside (inside)
And he won’t do for my best life (and I)
I know who I am inside
And he hates me, cuz he ain’t me
I know who I am inside (inside)
And he won’t do for my best life (and I)
I know who I am inside
And he hates me, cuz he ain’t me

See I know who I been inside forever, like
I’m centered but I’m fretting, like whatever, right?
I’m dead inside, but I been all right
You’re never gonna get me but I live my life
Forgetting every sentence ever said to me
I’m innocent and free but I neglect to keep
Whatever I’m believing in my memories
Cuz everything I leave in there is dead to me

I know who I am inside (inside)
And he won’t do for my best life (and I)
I know who I am inside
And he hates me, cuz he ain’t me
I know who I am inside (inside)
And he won’t do for my best life (and I)
I know who I am inside
And he hates me, cuz he ain’t me

Who I Am Inside

Whatever, I take it shaken, not stirred
I’m a nerd and I’m not sure I can make it not hurt
Cuz I’ve heard that you’re a sure friend, but I’m sure I’ve been a burden
I’ve been learning how to work within the murkiness, imperfect
I’ve been introverted all my life, had to work up to the light
Gotta recharge every night, need my sleep, I mean tonight
Keep it clean and keep it tight, keep me breathing, keep me right
Keep me seeming like I’m feeling like I’m healing but I hide

Because I bet if I was into it, then everybody’d hate me
I’m meant to be offended yet I’m friendly on the daily
They said it cuz they meant it ain’t nobody gonna blame me
But I been a fed up enemy of frenemies who ain’t me so
I keep it bottled up like I’m carbonated
I keep it bottled up like I’m carbonated
See I’m all shaken up but we aren’t debating
I keep it bottled up like I’m carbonated
I keep it bottled up like I’m carbonated
I keep it bottled up like I’m carbonated
See I’m all shaken up but we aren’t debating
I keep it bottled up

Emotion bubbles up, then it floweth over
I know I’m in a rut when I’m overloading
But even if I’m up and in it, focus sober
Cuz the only way I’m coping is an open soda
So I don’t mean to be a bother, but I bet I’m  being bothered
By the better-than-me posh and effervescent team of talkers
I’ll never get it cuz I’m often in a fog and picking proverbs
In an effort to prevent it from upsetting me as often

Because I bet if I was into it, then everybody’d hate me
I’m meant to be offended yet I’m friendly on the daily
They said it cuz they meant it ain’t nobody gonna blame me
But I been a fed up enemy of frenemies who ain’t me so
I keep it bottled up like I’m carbonated
I keep it bottled up like I’m carbonated
See I’m all shaken up but we aren’t debating
I keep it bottled up like I’m carbonated
I keep it bottled up like I’m carbonated
I keep it bottled up like I’m carbonated
See I’m all shaken up but we aren’t debating
I keep it bottled up
Because I bet if I was into it, then everybody’d hate me
I’m meant to be offended yet I’m friendly on the daily
They said it cuz they meant it ain’t nobody gonna blame me
But I been a fed up enemy of frenemies who ain’t me so
I keep it bottled up like I’m carbonated
I keep it bottled up like I’m carbonated
See I’m all shaken up but we aren’t debating
I keep it bottled up like I’m carbonated
I keep it bottled up like I’m carbonated
I keep it bottled up like I’m carbonated
See I’m all shaken up but we aren’t debating
I keep it bottled up

Blame It On Me feat. Cory V & Playboy the Beast

Can’t nobody have a drink with me
Can’t nobody ever think with me
And we all fucked up now though
Can’t nobody have a drink with me
Can’t nobody ever sing with me
Yo we all fucked up now though
Drink, drink, drink
Drink, drink, drink
And we all fucked up now though
Drink, drink, drink
Drink, drink, drink
Yo we all fucked up now though

See if you taking issue with my Mountain Dew, I get it yo
But this ain’t any different from you pounding through espressos
Or shots up at the bar or margaritas so you let go
I like the way it makes me feel, feel me? No regrets though
And I don’t get offended when you say “let’s have a drink”
As standard practice, passive, the average asshole is apt to think
It has to be a happy hour having our companionship
But half the hour, Matt’s devoured, damaged, tryna manage his affliction
It’s at odds with your addiction to drinking
And I’m odd because my lips didn’t sip then
And they sure as shit don’t sip it now
I tried it out to find out I was highly bound to spit it out

Can’t nobody have a drink with me
Can’t nobody ever think with me
And we all fucked up now though
Can’t nobody have a drink with me
Can’t nobody ever sing with me
Yo we all fucked up now though
Drink, drink, drink
Drink, drink, drink
And we all fucked up now though
Drink, drink, drink
Drink, drink, drink
Yo we all fucked up now though

You live for times you won’t remember with those you’ll be with eternally
You learned to feed the hurt as you’re served and you sip alluring heat
And swallow the solutions to your problems so assuredly
So surely you’ll work it out and bury who you yearn to be
See I’ve been chasing truth and I'll get to the bottom of these bottles
All my problems, thought I’d solved em, what they cost me was awful
This odyssey of thought is all I’ve got and so I'm coughing
Up a jaw full of abominable toxins from my barstool 
“Yo, you’re not cool,” I guess I’m only counterculture
Hypocritical, I’m critical of all around me, ultimately pitiful
I’m pretty full of phony proud impatience
And I may misplace my hatred when I say my years were wasted

Can’t nobody have a drink with me
Can’t nobody ever think with me
And we all fucked up now though
Can’t nobody have a drink with me
Can’t nobody ever sing with me
Yo we all fucked up now though
Drink, drink, drink
Drink, drink, drink
And we all fucked up now though
Drink, drink, drink
Drink, drink, drink
Yo we all fucked up now though

I open the doors to the bar, I’m the opening act
But the folks in the front suddenly roam to the back
I’m alone in this rap cuz I don’t focus on crap
Like calling the bartender over to pour em a Coke and some Jack
I’ve got “Sober” tattooed questioning views on my liver
Do I stick with what I’m into or live up to what you sinners
Think is “winning”? I give up, I’m such a fucking quitter
Cuz I can’t hold my own, let alone hold my liquor

Drink, drink, drink, drink
Drink, drink, drink, drink
Drink, drink, drink, drink
Drink, drink, drink, drink

Drink With Me

Whispers
God dammit, I don’t know

Hold up. Know what? I don’t think I’m up for the grown up stuff
I’m a freaking mutt so I don’t know what
I’ve been or what I’m mean to be when my soul grows up
But I’m young at heart now. Am I immature in the dark? How?
I don’t wanna see what I wanna be, but I wanna be where my heart beat pounds
So I’ma do me and embarrass myself, I been a freak in a bearable hell
I’m a comedic and terrible tale, how can I keep up and care for my health?
Swear that I’m well, fearing I’m frail, scared as can be, I’m aware that I’ve failed
I don’t believe in a god that can keep me from promising I can believe in myself
So does that mean I’ve atoned? I don’t know
So does that mean I’m alone? I don’t know
Yo, emotion martyred in the moment
See honestly it’s hard for me because God dammit, I don’t know

Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
God dammit, I don’t know
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
God dammit, I don’t know
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
God dammit, I don’t know
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
God dammit, I don’t know 

Hold up. Get this. I don’t think I’m up for the grown up shit
I been thinking nothing, I know what’s missed, but I don’t miss shit, and I’m so nonsensical
Piss and moan, but this syndrome is the best of all
Blessed to fall within a mess of my faults and I’ve messed up all this, but I’m dead wrong
So what am I doing? It’s futile in vain, so what if I’m stupid, I’m human, ashamed
It’s something I grew up with, through it I gained, a lucid confusion, elusive and strange
But who been to blame? Who can explain, the truth and then prove what I’m doing is sane?
Who can I do a communal entombment with? Who can I group with and who’s in the grave?
So does that mean I’m a ghost? I don’t know
So does that mean what I’ve been told? I don’t know
Yo, emotion martyred in the moment
See honestly it’s hard for me because God dammit, I don’t know

Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
God dammit, I don’t know
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
God dammit, I don’t know
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
God dammit, I don’t know
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
God dammit, I don’t know 

No I don’t know what I’ve been
And though I focusing in, I’m not even close
So I can hope and pretend
And through my hopelessness, am I finally whole?
Yo...my mind is sober as sin
And though it’s no one’s intention, how do we cope?
And though I’m holding it in
I’m overflowing, emotions hiding below
So does that mean I’ve atoned? I don’t know
So does that mean I’m alone? I don’t know
Yo...emotion martyred in the moment
See honestly it’s hard for me because God dammit, I don’t know

Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
God dammit, I don’t know
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
God dammit, I don’t know
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
God dammit, I don’t know
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
Know what? Nothing. Know what? Nothing
God dammit, I don’t know

I Don't Know (prod. Nate WILL)

"Sauce is Matisse" is a rapper based in Charlottesville, VA inspired by both underground and mainstream music across all genres. His work showcases a sound between raw hip-hop and the most technical metal outfits.

After being described as a mental paradox, he was given the advice to “contain” that paradox in order to allow all sides of himself to coexist. He has done this through music.
