Lyrics:
[Intro]

My name is LEX 
I am a rapper 
I wrote this rhyme on the crapper, whaat?

[verse 1]

Now everybody that can hear this sound 
Put your muthafuckin hands in the air right now 
But if you got a small dick put em down 
Cause i’m looking for a fella that is well endowed, uh

Just kidding, I am not a size queen 
Just a fan of cool licks, ice cream 
Screamin’ like I’m Pewdiepie on a livestream 
Flow cold like Articuno, ice beam

I’m high on IQ and drugs, limitless 
These guys wanna give me hugs, minivest 
If I succumb to my delusions of omnipotence 
I’ll get my head cut by Macduff, Inverness

I’m goin’ crazy like a mammal, batshit 
I’m dropping bars like I’m droppin, acid 
I eat it up like a cake, fat kid 
Fill me in the next day, madlibs

[chorus]

Why you fuckin’ with that L.E.X 
Man I heard it all so what you gonna tell me next? 
That I’m rude as fuck? That I’m selling sex? 
I’d deny it but a lot of truth is said in jest

I’m like

Why you fuckin’ with that L.E.X 
Man I heard it all so what you gonna tell me next? 
That I’m whack as hell? I got no respect? 
I’d deny it but a lot of truth is said in jest

[verse 2]

I’m gettin turnt like a centrifuge, spinnin’ out 
Your whole game like your hair, thinnin’ out 
And I’m gettin death threats any minute now 
I’m out in California catching beef, in-n-out

I like to keep it kinda funny, hashtag 
But the drinking takes a toll, Fastrak 
I hit it right on the head, snapback 
You fuckers put it on the wrong side, asshat

Now errybody in the club get tipsy 
I’m walkin round wearing jeans that dont fit me 
I got some holes in my crotch, getting thrifty 
Fuck getting rich, I’ll die trying, Fifty

Look at me, I ain’t got no street cred 
I’m too wholesome and bland, wheat bread 
I’m a straight A graduate from UCB and 
I’d rather eat a dick than get a B, I’d rather be dead

[chorus]

[bridge]

Yeah I’m the best, really I got nothing left to say 
The fellas say i got the best ass in the bay 
I like to claim I got it working out every day 
But I got it eating pita chips and sippin on some alize

Big dreams but I’m really fuckin lazy 
People tell me Alex you crazy, I say maybe 
Keep writing wordplay till writing words pays me 
But till then, I can do this all day, see

[verse 3]

Souped up in a Cadillac, miso 
Meter won’t give my quarter back, tebow 
Got an ese in the back seat, mijo 
Wrote a song about myself, ego

Ripped off lonely island, semicolon 
I’m just low on motivation, Kelly Rowland 
I wanna be on top, but all the gender roles 
Got me fucked up like hentai, tentacles

Hear the voices in my head, bad sign 
Tryna tell me that I’m mental, gaslight 
They wanna try to steal the spotlight, costar 
Beat they fucking teeth in, crowbar

My thoughts standing in the crowd, unimpressed 
Not a no, not a yes, to some extent 
I broke a God-given promise, covenant 
Now I’m doing wordplay in hell, punishment

[chorus]

[outro]

What, what, why, why 
Why you fuckin’ with that L.E.X 
What, what, why, why 
Cause a lot of truth is said in jest, I'm like

What, what, why, why 
Why you fuckin’ with that L.E.X 
What, what, why, why 
Why you fuckin’ with that, why you fuckin' with that

L.E.X.

They say that, you gotta sell something you don’t have first
So Imma, pretend i’m decent for the whole damn verse
But not too long ago I thought nothing could ever be worse
Than living life like a stage play that I never rehearsed

Cause they say

Sing for the moment, they tell you, freeze it and own it
We know this, but would you rather be working out or eating a donut?
But if you go for the marshmallow you’re not a grownup
So I’m sitting here bitch made, waiting for shit to show up

But every brain cell that I’m spending sitting overthinking
Could be the same cell that I’ll liquidate with overdrinking
Well I’ve been thinking maybe we got it wrong
To be existing in a predictable beat of a song

So right now

If you’re alive put your hands up
California put your mother fuckin hands up
East bay put your goddamn hands up 
Lemme see you put your muthafuckin hands up

Yeah, if you’re alive put your hands up
California put your mother fuckin hands up
Taipei put your goddamn hands up
Throw em up to the sky if you feel alive

See life’s a mystery, that’s why we study history
But learning from my screwups has never quite been a fit for me
i spent my energy on the major asymmetry
In my left brain, fairly uncommon in the industry

And I crave fame but I’m jaded by the limiting
Framework where famous tends to operate artistically
And so I’d stay up running the same words in my head
Dreading the fact that I won’t catch a break realistically

But if the UCs evaluate holistically
And if the rap game’s saturated statistically 
Then maybe that means I don’t have to live so cynically
Cause people flip their shit at a rapper with my ethnicity

You’ll won’t catch me filming concerts on an iphone
Live in every minute like i’m crossing over timezones
Fuck the status quo I’ll make the genre my own
Keep writing lyrics that’ll get your fucking mind blown

Yeah, if you’re alive, put your hands up
California put your mother fuckin hands up
East bay put your goddamn hands up 
Lemme see you put your muthafuckin hands up

Yeah, if you’re alive put your hands up
California put your mother fuckin hands up
Taipei put your goddamn hands up
Throw em up to the sky if you feel alive

That’s what I tell myself, but I’m a perfectionist
I wish that being a hedonist was more effortless
I wish success was dependent on only cleverness
But all this other bullshit makes me think that I ain’t meant for this

But never mind, I’m feeling now while I’m thinking big
Take over the world with just a pen between my fingertips
I’ll run the marathon, I don’t have to sprint to it
Cause living’s like I’m doing my taxes, I’m fucking intuit

Yeah, if you’re alive, put your hands up
California put your mother fuckin hands up
East bay put your goddamn hands up 
Lemme see you put your muthafuckin hands up

Yeah, if you’re alive put your hands up
California put your mother fuckin hands up
Taipei put your goddamn hands up
Throw em up to the sky if you feel alive

LEX Is More (Deluxe)

Alive

Glasses

[verse 1]

Yeah I wear glasses, so what?
I can make your whole fanbase go nuts
Cause being nerdy is cool, it’s time to grow up
Or maybe you’re a little jelly cause your flow sucks.

I’m sicker than a chick sticking her fingers into her throat tryna throw up 
All the donuts she binged 
in a split second reckoning she’ll never be anything more than a record setter for eating all the donuts

I’m blowing up like a samsung note 7
I open fire, no handgun, no weapon
Damn son, I was rapping back in 07
Back when I was trapped with the Catholics tryna go to heaven
 
And I was rapping with my glasses on
Can’t remember the last time I didn’t have them on
So elastic with the lyrics like an epsilon
They’re an apt representation of my lexicon

So

[hook]
Get off your asses
I’m a rap star, hit em with the glasses
Uh
X2

[verse 2]

Four eyes used to be uncool
So I was a geek in school
My friendgroup was a cesspool of massive tools
Giving me shit because I followed the rules  (shit)

I’ll duel you like I’m Alexander 
I’ll take your ass to school like I’m Bernie Sanders
I’m your chief commander, I exceed the standard
While the cheaters next to me are tryna read my answers

Read too many books, I was ten years old
Got a pair of specs and I said here goes
They made me into a rejected weirdo
And became the lens through which i see the world
So

A mechanism for correcting my retina 
Injected into my identification ended up setting a 
Precedent that nerdy was acceptable
My spectacles
Made me respectable 

Oh!

[hook]
Get off your asses
I’m a rap star, hit em with the glasses
Uh
X4

[verse3]

I’m only getting better and better
I’m feeling unfettered by tethers or pressure to be the mainstream
I used to dream of getting on Letterman 
Then when it ended I settled for making it in my daydreams

But I’m cool now, strange as it may seem
We’re living in the golden age of dank memes
And people dig it when I’m being eccentric 
spitting nonsensical shit like I’m in a game of spaceteam

Maybe I’m a legend in the making cause
The way of my trade is so painstaking but
Maybe it’s the method that I shake it up
Shakespeare on your ass, the rap game is up

Smart is in
And my heart is in it
I’m delivering artful lyrics from start to finish
And when they’re
Stepping onto your pedestal
Kicking you in the genitals
Hitting you in the head you can bet i’ll be wearing my glasses

[hook]
Get off your asses
I’m a rap star, hit em with the glasses
Uh
X2

"Peep Game"
Lyrics and vocals by LEX the Lexicon Artist
Produced by Mozart von Robot
Tracked and mixed by Incooperative of PictureBox Studios
Peeped by you

[verse 1]

Ladies and gentlemen and nonconformists,
Please, direct your attention to my performance
Now train your line of vision on me like the eye of Horus
And you shall find that my metaphorical dong’s enormous 

Of course

Do you believe that you’re not afforded your due respect?
Or treated with the height of decorum that you expect?
Maybe you’re doing your best but feel neglected 
In a sea of perfection it’s easy to feel defective 

Well, I got an answer that will help you with your deep shame
Confront your enemies by telling them to peep game
See they've been sleeping on your flames, you've been defamed
But I swear the recognitions there for you to reclaim

And as a kid people said I was strange
But now that I'm older I'm proud I'm an artist with range 
And though it's true other people's minds are the hardest to change 
I'll use all my power to keep em peeping hard at my game

[chorus]

So if you’re doing something different and they call you a freak
Because you’re making people listen when you’re rockin the beat
Say Peep Game

And if you always bring the fire but they’re never impressed
Because their shit is uninspired and they know you’re the best 
Say Peep Game

[verse 2]

Man I got so much game you couldn't peep it all in one day
Peeping from the weekend all the way to Monday
My game is colorful, blue pink and yellow
Treat me like it’s Easter and gimme them peeps marshmallows

Maybe you could bring your peeps to the show 
Cause I got so much game to peep and I want people to know
I just bring the heat and they eat it up like pizza to go
In a minute I’m drowning in it I’ll be deep in the dough
Let’s go

My game is exhibitionist, peep it like you’re Tom
My game is like my laptop, peep it like my mom
My game is different in a field full of sheep
Step up to the stage and give it a little Bo peep

Uhhh
Yeah, I’m like the Lex to your Brainiac
You look a little green in the face of megalomaniacs
Staring in the box like my game’s a peep show
I’m breaking out to satisfy my raging ego

Expectations (feat. Shubzilla) (prod. Eli Grove)
Lyrics by LEX the Lexicon Artist and Shubzilla
Produced and mixed by Eli Grove

Lyrics

[Chorus]

I climbed up from the bottom to the top
But I still gotta prove that I’m awesome to my mom
Cause I live with
All these Asian expectations
Gotta live with all these Asian expectations
Ooh yeah

[Verse 1: LEX the Lexicon Artist]

Yeah my mom’s amazing
You might’ve guessed but my mom is Asian
I only see her when I’m on vacation
Or when she gets to take a break on occasion

She’s a children’s doctor working all day
It’s not a lot of money but we do okay
Despite being tired, she greets patients with a smile on her face
Saying how are you today
Yeah

Always worried that I might ashame her
Cause I chose to be a psych major
She wants me to go back to school 
Cause she says I’m book smart like Hermione Granger

But now I’m tryna be a rap star
And I don’t know if she would let me take it that far
Do I play my part or entertain the crowd
Because I wanna chase my dream but I wanna make her proud

[Chorus]

I climbed up from the bottom to the top
But I still gotta prove that I’m awesome to my mom
Cause I live with
All these Asian expectations
Gotta live with all these Asian expectations
Ooh yeah

[Verse 2: Shubzilla]

The OG Fly Pinay
Mom to me be like do or die
Three times a hustle to keep us afloat
Hardest woman in the game and she ain’t gotta gloat, uh

Her ambition passed on to me
Hot-headed boss raising me to be a queen
And the world wasn’t ready but she did it anyway
Momzilla raining fire every hour every day

She expects a lot more from me
Pride success and happiness
The best hype woman there could ever be
If she gotta fix shit better write a eulogy

Cause somebody’s gonna get dropped if they don’t stop
Messing with their kin so they better close shop
From 1983 
We been a dope team and we livin’ the dream

[Chorus]

I climbed up from the bottom to the top
But I still gotta prove that I’m awesome to my mom
Cause I live with
All these Asian expectations
Gotta live with all these Asian expectations
Ooh yeah

[Verse 3: LEX the Lexicon Artist]

I don't get to see you very often anymore
And pretty soon I'll no longer be twenty four 
You’ll prolly never see me live, you’re so far away 
But at least I can write you songs for mothers day 

It’s been six years, still kinda new here, 
Can I come home just for Chinese New Year
I know you're gonna tell me to apply for law school
But I promise that my songs got a lot more thoughtful 

You always told me I should be more gentle
More femininely temperamental
But when I tell you that I miss Taipei
You always say to not be so sentimental 

I wanna be a great artist and a good daughter
When I’m famous maybe I could be a book author 
庭安, she remembers what you taught her
Sending love to my mother and father, I’ll bring them both honor 

[Outro]
All these Asian expectations...

"The L Word"
Written and performed by LEX the Lexicon Artist
Composed and produced by Incooperative and Baron Cuts
Mixed by Incooperative at PictureBox Studios

[verse 1]

I always put my brain before my heart
Ever since I was little they knew me for being smart
Always think before I act and I never let down my guard
Cause fuck knows what happened the last time I fell hard

I’m not the person people come to for love advice
I’m troubled too when I think about this stuff at night
The bottom line is that part of my mind is stunted 
My avoidant attachment’s the problem that I’ve confronted

Growing up across the Pacific Ocean 
I never noticed my parents rarely expressed their emotions
The notion of being open was lost to me
My thought processing shot like a frontal lobotomy

Honestly it never bothered me as much as it should’ve
Non-honesty modeled me as much as it could’ve 
And while it’s true that my lexicon is my claim to fame 
There’s only one more word I’m afraid to say
And

[chorus]

It’s the L word
Show me how to be true to it
It’s the L word
I don’t know cause I’m new to it
It’s the L word 
I don’t know what to do with it
The thought of someone loving me is honestly ludicrous

It’s the L word
Show me how to be true to it
It’s the L word
I don’t know cause I’m new to it
It’s the L word 
I don’t know what to do with it
But if you give me time maybe I could be cool with it


[verse 2]

I sound awkward but trust me nothing is wrong
I’m probably blushing while I’m doing this song
Cause when you’re spending your time fronting and tryna be strong
It gets easy to bluff that you’re not kinda withdrawn

I’m finding it hard to admit how I feel about your company 
We started casual and it happened pretty suddenly 
Utterly and deathly afraid of catching feelings
I stubbornly dedicated to my act of concealing

I tried to rationalize my attraction 
Holding myself back to minimize my attachment 
Dramatically overanalyzing our interactions
Imagining our affinity as just a transaction

But then, in a rush of endorphins and oxytocin 
You looked at me and you asked, “are you scared of emotions”?
I said, “Yeah, very much so” I really hoped that you wouldn’t notice
My eyes flying wide open and then you said  

[chorus]

the L word
Show me how to be true to it
It’s the L word
I don’t know cause I’m new to it
It’s the L word 
I don’t know what to do with it
The thought of someone loving me is honestly ludicrous

It’s the L word
Show me how to be true to it
It’s the L word
I don’t know cause I’m new to it
It’s the L word 
I don’t know what to do with it
But if you give me time maybe I could be cool with it

[verse 3]

I like it when you tell me that you miss me
I like it when you smile and when you kiss me
I gotta say I think about you when you’re not around
But I’m embarrassed to admit it, like it’s not allowed

I miss you after not seeing you for a couple days
I guess my feelings are stronger than what my words convey
But hey, I express it in a certain way
I’ll write it in a song, and maybe then it’ll be my turn to say

[chorus]

the L word
Show me how to be true to it
It’s the L word
I don’t know cause I’m new to it
It’s the L word 
I don’t know what to do with it
The thought of someone loving me is honestly ludicrous

It’s the L word
Show me how to be true to it
It’s the L word
I don’t know cause I’m new to it
It’s the L word 
I don’t know what to do with it
But if you give me time maybe I could be cool with it

It’s Love

[Verse 1]

Yo
I don’t think I’m trash, but I’ve been in denial 
Don’t think I’m bad but I’ve been trapped inside a vicious cycle 
I undervalue my values and screw the cap up tight
So when I spiral up to my maximum I get mad and spiteful 

Make sure my pride is set aside, don’t want to seem entitled 
Fake that I’m happy, deep inside I keep my feelings stifled 
Take all the crap I’ve been handed and greet it with a smile
But now I see that I’ve been mistaken for quite a while 

See I’ve been pushed around 
I’ve been walked upon 
Been a doormat and I’ve had enough 
Got my sensei and my classmates
and a whole family that'll back me up

Got my mom and dad, I got my brother too 
I look at all the pain I’ve had to suffer through 
And now I wonder why I kept it all inside
When all I had to do was keep in touch with you

Thought I wasn’t important
Felt like a burden and 
Pushed my emotions and thoughts to a corner 
I wanted to go it alone 
But it’s hard on my own
Now I’m home and I know I’m supported 

I’m no longer taking my Ls
I’m hoping to openly get over hating myself 
I’m making a change for my own mental health
by respecting my feelings and treating them well

[Chorus]

My eyes are open to a world I’ve never seen before 
From here on out I’ll be considering my feelings more
If I think it’s important, it shouldn’t be ignored 
From here on out I’ll be considering my feelings more

My eyes are open to a world I’ve never seen before 
From here on out I’ll be considering my feelings more
If I think it’s important, it shouldn’t be ignored 
From here on out I’ll be considering my feelings more

[Verse 2]

See I wished I was special but now that I’m older I think I see 
I’m only as special as those that I treasure consider me
As I grow as a person I notice my friends and community 
And connections have grown in importance, is that maturity?

In the face of a sure defeat 
My relationships are my security 
And when I stand on a stage in a sea of people 
Know I’m feeling safe as long as you’re with me

If one day I fade to obscurity
We can take a break on a secluded creek
Watch the clouds go by, and each other’s eyes
Change colors in the sunlight fluidly

When you said hi, I said hi to you
When we spent time, I started liking you
And though the time we spend is just temporary 
I’m in a better state of mind when I ride with you

We got things we like that we’re weird about
You can share your writing and I’ll hear you out
Because I care about you and the things that you value
Are nothing you should be embarrassed about

So what if we’re hiding our reasons, evading the truth
That doesn’t negate that I’m grateful to you
So what if we're doing this charitably
I’m thankful you’re sharing your passion with me

We both wanted someone to see 
The way we believe we were meant to be seen
Accept our authentic identities 
You’ve been a friend, 
and I’ll pick up the pieces
What’s left of our dreams

[Chorus]

My eyes are open to a world I’ve never seen before 
From here on out I’ll be considering my feelings more
If I think it’s important, it shouldn’t be ignored 
From here on out I’ll be considering my feelings more

My eyes are open to a world I’ve never seen before 
From here on out I’ll be considering my feelings more
If I think it’s important, it shouldn’t be ignored 
From here on out I’ll be considering my feelings more

(See I’ve been pushed around 
I’ve been walked upon 
Been a doormat and I’ve had enough 
Got my sensei and my classmates 
and a whole family that'll back me up 

Got my mom and dad, I got my brother too 
I look at all the pain I’ve had to suffer through 
And now I wonder why I kept it all inside 
When all I had to do was keep in touch with you)

[Outro: Mob] 

I don’t think this is trash.
If you’re going to throw it away, I’ll take it.
I’ve made the decision to consider my feelings more.
And you need to pick up things you think are important.
