First single off of our debut LP, Slap Happy! Enjoy!

Lyrics:

(1st Verse)
I wrote this laying by the ocean.
You explained that no one says "in the cape".
Cause we're "on it", you were being honest.
I was an accomplice, you were still my date
In my life never seen a shine bright.
You were like my lime light.
I can see your face.
If times right, do you think its finite?
Do you think we'll lock back up like a gate?


I was looking all around when we went to Provincetown.
I recall a book fair in back.
Neither of us bought anything, but we said everything.

Had my Nikon strapped to my back (4X)
We were only 20 hours, I was Af.


Said we were only 20 years old, I was on summer break.
And all I had to show you was a lake.
And you well,
You showed me the whole arm. 
We did it for so long.
We just had a party in the cape.
And all I really had was back-roads in suburbia. 
Chatta box apps hadda' smash on the furniture.
Bring it to my room, twin bed had us curling up.
Hot pink walls cause I moved into my sisters room. 
I still haven't painted em'. 
If we're playing this one loud I gotta pay for em '.
Cause you know it slaps like a back hand from an angry girl friend.
I'm Dorothy up in a whirl wind.
Music black, music white like the Wizard of Oz.
Winona bring the color back, bring it back to you all.
And a lotta' people pressing me and get on my balls.
But I let it come to pass like we're passing the halls.

(Hook)

Oh! did somebody just drop something, from the speakers to my ears? 
Oh! did somebody just drop something, I picked it up and brought it here. 

(2nd Verse)
Hot as Carolina imma' open up the window. 
I talk lotta shit they call Mr do it wanna tenfold
Music my release I deliver like an envlope
Writing new rules and deep sixing what I've been told 
I was looking all around on the couch in Watertown 
With a classic stirring up just like a fruit punch bowl
Got it spiked to the brim with a 100 proof pen
Had 100 move in had 100 get lost 


I top every track thought that every knew that.
Break it down if you must hope that every do stats.
Pete Rose from the Bose like the 72' Reds. 
I know what I know know that everything zen.


For the most part.
Post cards stacked on my bed.
Like a go cart.
Don't start, sicko with the lead.
That compose art.
Mozart.
Austrian I guess.
Got a sweet tooth. 
Each booth, 
Dumping out the Pez.


Imma a wave with a big crest
Every one of us a wave with a big crest.
It felt like I been away when I just left.
Every one of us a wave with the big crest.
Wave with the big crest.

(Hook Repeat)

Hootin' N Hollerin'

Track 9 off our debut LP, Slap Happy

Lyrics:

See we're slap happy.
And we're punch drunk.
Just a little bit, like a Punch Bug.
Or a lotta bit,
Like a lotta stuff.
We got talent here,
To go unplugged.
Like nirvana did,
Or Ms. Lauryn Hill.
Forecast for the youth,
See it's raining pills. 
Forecast for the decade, paying bills. 
At 18 no one told me that interest kills.
But I got interest still. 
And I know life ain't half bad.
Sent livi 10 bones over Cash app.
For a god damn 12 ounce pale ale.
Everything point up like a whale tail.
Liquor in my session for the system that I booked today.
Flip the words backward so the hook can play.
Play the hook backward and you might say damn.
The plan is dump my lorazepam. 

Woke -
Woke up on the beach in the morning
Drank -
Drank clear liquor so I'm sick
Split-
Split it with you cause I know you like it
Wish -
Wish I'd never see another 5th.
Cool -
Why you gotta try to be cool for.
Damn -
We don't really damn about that.
Live -
We just wanna live and let live.
Damn -
We don't give a damn where you're at.

As long as your happy most days.
As long as the sun shine down.
As long as you die from old age.
Then I don't really need you around.

It goes -
Big wave,
Kona.

Fuck their quota. 
I'm keeled over.
I don't want this life (X2)


Imma roll away,
I caught a diamond with a left hand.
Imma roll away,
I caught a robin with my other hand.


Signs don't lie.
Signs don't lie.
You be careful you might get just what you need.

Signs don't lie.
Signs don't lie.
You might get what you want.

Too many smiles and dials and feeling average. 
Too many files and piles to make the cash hit.
Too many flows like the nile I'm going Mad Lib.
I'm just so wild like Nigel my brains elastic.

I held the door for a stranger then I got a spat at. 
My nature valley all crumbled in my backpack. 
I look at sun on the hill I wanna grab that.
The girl I liked at the Book Mill had never called back.

And I don't care in the slightest about what others think.
Maybe a little but lesser the more I slouch and sink.
Maybe a lot but it's lesser when I pour up a drink.
Or when I'm baring my conscious all up and down the ink.
It gets easier.

Autopilot

Intro track off our debut LP, Slap Happy.

Lyrics:

(1st Verse)
I was driving through Hollywood and Vine till I climbed up Mound.
Threw the E brake on, it's so steep thought I was upside down.
And someone drew the word "sorry" on my rental with Mahogany lipstick.
Was checking if they might of bumped into the car, but I don't see a dent yet.


And What a complicated question asking me about a 5 year plan..
(I'll worry my life away)
And what an orchestrated effort getting me play up into your hands.
(I'll worry my life away)
So, get free before yo lose your only chance and you're watching from the stands.
(I'll worry my life away)
I wasn't built for the life that they been offering by popular demand.
(I'll worry my life away)


And if you're fake here, that probably means more than your face and your ass shots.
(Worry worry worry worry sick)
I'm not surprised that I didn't catch a vibe, nothing coming off the backboard.
(Worry worry worry worry sick)
I think some people close to me don't really see or understand what I rap for.
(Worry worry worry worry sick)
So if you peel that wave, or if you feel that way, then you should ask more.
(Worry worry worry worry sick)


(Hook)

Be easy.
Be honest to me.
Don't make me bite my lip.


Be easy.
Be truthful world.
And don't make me lose my grip.


Be easy.
Be honest to me.
Don't like the feeling I get.


Be easy.
No paranoia,
When I get lost in this riff.

(2nd Verse)
I was running with my eyes wide shut through the middle of the forest and I was missing trees and all.
See I was following my gut but I couldn't find a chorus and I could really come up there to breathe at all.
So If you're feel like you're enough, then you're lucky cause it's tough when the world don't concur or agree at all.
If you feel like things are rough and you're missing all the love and you're feeling like you don't see the peace at all.


(Repeat Hook)

The Upside Down

3rd track off our Debut LP, Slap Happy.

Mix & Master by Dave Chapman at Ugly Duck Studios in Brighton, MA

Lyrics: 

(1st Verse)
You make me so high.
You make me walk away.
You make me so high.
You make me -
Got my cards on the table (4X)
You make me walk away.

I'm just hop, skip and a jump till I hit what I aim for.
Nights where I sit, stuck to the walls and I wonder what I came for.
You got the eyes, eyes of a prize I never got a chance to know.
I'm just hop, skip and a jump till I get what I came for.

You're just a lot, I'm just a lot if I let me get paved on.
Everything good, everything moonlight shine so I stay calm.
I had all these melodies inside my mind and I just didn't wanna hold em' back for a long.
Everything good, I don't need a shoulder there to put any weight on.

Tell me something new, tell me you aren't just like them and the rest.
Making something move, I just need a bullet proof pen and a vest.
There is nothing wrong, I don't need a wink I don't need any rest.
In a good spot, tell myself that when I lay my head to bed.


(Hook 2X)

Verse 2:

I'm just a hop, skip and a jump till I hit what I am for.
Life's just a bitch.
Life's just a breeze when you see what you came for.
Names in the bowl.
Names unimportant when you know what you sing for.
Carry right along.
Carry right along when there's something to be sane for.
I just hit the oh, I just hit the switch and I went off into overdrive.
City not a home.
Studio a lock in session, need an overnight.
Stubborn as a oh, stubborn as a god damn mule when I know I'm right.
This is half the problem, know the other half of me never gonna coincide.

Who was ever saying less life.
Never gonna mesh like,
Seeing everything everywhere like a death right
You should get your specs right.
Self righteous rap blogs.
Rapping like a legend but they never wanna press one.
They would rather press pause.
But they never write songs.
They just write hit pieces, add it to the catalog.
Easier to judge when your pencils never budged for a rhyme scheme.
I just wanna have shore right behind me.


(Hook X1)


Outro:

Never seen it coming, never seen it coming, never leave the scene and never leave the keys in plain sight for someone.
Everything is nothing, everything is nothing.Every little thing I've seen is everything while also being nothing
Lieve' in something hoping you believe in something, cause I know the other side isn't something you wanna be stuck in.
Never seen it coming, never seen it coming, never leave the scene and never leave the keys in plain sight for someone.

I wanna walk on by (10 X)

Lyrics:

1st Verse:

Do the carpets,
Match the rugs? (match the drapes)
Your apartment,
Catch the bus. (don't make me wait)
I'm an artist
Fuck the love. (and fuck the hate)
You should listen.
Whats it sound like? (Fuckin great)
Feel the motion.
Listen up (sit up straight)
If it don't make sense,
It might be us. (might be fate)
I can't deal with anything that maybe vibes low
And I'm with all of my dogs I feel like Shiloh.
A people's history
The people come (they come in late)
They bounce to me, I bounce back like I'm Lebron.
Nah... nah 
That was wrong.
I bounce it back like I'm Isaiah, give and go.
They Got me mumbling the melodies.
I come on every beat like I'm from Beverly.
There's hills and valleys,
peaks and thrills and pills and chills,
You try to chew it hurts like there's a cavity.

Like 

She mighta shreaked, at least I kill the beats I got some peace when I release and try to reach the mass so they can see.

Um X4


Dryer sheets.
Try on these.
You aren't fresh enough my friend.
Hi elite.
Hire me.
I would love to slave your ends.
Siamese, I and beats.
We're connected at the hip.
Criminy.
I believe I've been surprising all my friends.
So, when's it end?
When's it stop?
Not for nothing.
Call the cops
Tell em' come.
Bring the swat.
I've been getting off my rocks.
Coleman different on the keys.
Zingg and Livi just appease,
all the ears of all our peers.
And then we put out for release.  
Said who are we?
Funny you should ask, Winona and the riders.
Demo sooner than you think, it's Oklahoma how were grinding. 
Can do Hindu Kamasutra, aphorisms from the Buddha.
Catechisms didn't suit him, cause Jesus didn't do no rhyming. 
So how was I supposed to follow?
All my life I've been a ball of,
Inhibition till I went and dug a calling out the burrow.
And I'm thorough 
Not a rapper, I'm a calculated bastard.
More than anyone I'm faster, quicker, master, flipper, jabber. 
Jacket tight, cadabra abra, cause I dried the shit by acci.
Catch me spinning on the axis, till I'm spinning off the axis of the planet in catastra-
fees to hear me rap should happen.
But see first I need to grab ya.
Get attention like your shoulders and your back,
then get some mentions likes and @s until it's fact we got it mastered

Yeah- 

But it is already.
The kids aren't ready.
We've been building up a brand and a buis already.
Look like lids already,
I'm coming at your dome. 
And i plan to make it crash like you're browsing Google Chrome.
And the spotlights on.
It works like that. 
See the sound might bend,
but the words don't crack.
And around my pen,
it's a firework patch. 
In the middle of the jungle,
Where the lions don't pass.
I don't try to go fast.
That's my default setting.
Making moves for the throne.
Do you see red weddings?
Get with me already. 
Gimme Adderall focus.
Page one for ya soul keep the catalog open

.....And the Fire wood smoking (5X)

Candy Cavities (VIDEO IN DESCRIPTION)

Debut LP, Slap Happy.

Mix & Master by Dave Chapman at Ugly Duck Studios in Brighton, MA

Lyrics:

(Hook)
Four tracks down now, track tracks downtown.
This is not your time to waste.
(Hold on a minute what'd you say.) X2

I tell em',
Lemonade stand.
Then break-dance.
All the taste to have the damn place jammed.
Make em' rain dance.
If they can't dance.
They can fake apply like it's a spray tan.
All in sync now.
Gotta think now.
Every time I think I'm on the brink now -
I gotta' come down.
That's the ego. 
But I know we got it going more than these schmoes.

And I know that we can dance until the sun's down.
We can probably keep it going till it's Sunday.
And I know that we can dance until the sunrise.
Migraine, I'm driving off up in a Hyundai.
And we're proof that the aliens exist.
I sat down with my man to make a list.
"What you wanna be before 25?"
I said "you can be anything you pick?"
We just gotta speak the words up in existence.
We just gotta really listen when we listen.
We just gotta see it coming from a distance.
we just gotta really focus on the mission.
Sat down one night, made one track.
Sat down three months, made an LP.
And you know that Jerry's dancing like a fool to it.
Probably laughing and drinking up there with Matt Cream.
I might cough up lightning bugs.
I might jump off typing stuff.
I might let smile hit mouth and shout out that my life is good.
You might be right if you spoke.
You might not like how it sounds.
You gotta be where you are and that might mean standing your ground.
I'm in the place with some love.
Might stay up late with my brothers.
We're all alive and it's wild, just think about how fast we swum.
Keep your alarm out of reach.
You gotta stand on your feet.
You can't be hitting the snooze and we all just wanna be free.

(Bridge)
Ain't mine.
Ain't yours.
Same line.
Same fort.
Same type of day outside today.
(Beautiful)
The clouds came.
They lied.
They said the sun was not behind their shade.
All off, 
the track.
The beaten track.
If we relax and wait (we'd be better off)
Can't fool the world.
Can't lose the pearl.
And you can't fool yourself today.

Hook (X4)

Fresh Never Frozen

Debut LP, Slap Happy.

Mix & Master by Dave Chapman at Ugly Duck Studios in Brighton, MA

Lyrics:

(Intro)
I caught on, before long, I couldn't understand. (X4)

(1st Verse)
Said who knows me? Not myself.
Said ooo slow me, for my my health.
Said who told me, good die young?
Said who's lonely?
Bite your tongue.
And I spin my wheels all day.
And I shrink when I'm feeling grey.
And I hope my acts not stale.
And I hope I don't show up late.
On high notes I get by bolts.
And I coast when I hit west coast.
And I hate when the time zone change.
I get jolt out of my own ways.

(Hook)
Like spilling wine on a cream colored vinyl.
Like low blows when you wanna take the high road.
Like vertigo a hundred feet up on a tightrope. 
Like dancing round trying not to break the china.

Shout dot!
I walk, walk, walk, walk, walk. (X4)

(2nd Verse)
We dream in colors and palettes and I got lavender thoughts.
If I parlay for a palace, it's at the cost of my heart.
If I grab all of my talents, then writing is all that I got.
If I got gun to my head, I'm choosing a life full of art.
If you think you know me well, then well what am I thinking now?
If you got layman with terms well would you tell me go to hell?
If I start laying with you well you'd put me under a spell.
That's why I never came close cause I got a hunch, you can tell.
I dial back, I dial in, I dial like collect calls.
They tried to shoot me to space but I just hung on to a star.
Come on now look at my face and tell me how come did I far.
The drums bleed into the bass, the words bleed into the guitar.

That's so melodic.
That's so cathartic.
That's so pathetic.
That's so disarming.
That's so self-serious.
That's so sub-par for ya.
That's so not memorable.
That's not dishonest.

(Hook) X8

Shout Dot (I Walk)

Debut LP, Slap Happy

Mix & Master by Dave Chapman at Ugly Duck Studios

Lyrics:

Yeah, mhm (repeated)

(1st Verse)
I've been rhyming since the days of climbing fences.
Been threading needles since the 2v2's at Pentz's.
My english teacher told me writing should be life for me.
I can't believe it when I finish up a sentence.

I said more words up on this album than in real life.
If beats accompanied my convos, that'd be real nice.
It must be something like savant syndrome, Walt Whitman.
I feel like Cool Hand Luke, I'm Mr. Paul Newman.

You must have read my mind, I'm out here bugging out.
You  might not quite like us, but know you love the sound.
I let the beat slap words out of my fucking mouth.
If you want hospitality than bring it to the south.

(Hook)
Aye yae yae.
Ay Caramba, if I go under will you pull me out?
(Will you pull me out?)
If I go slumber and then I go under, will you pull me out?
Ay Caramba, if I go under will you pull me out?
(Will you pull me out?)
Ay Caramba said if I go under...

(Bridge)
And it's all smoke.
And I can't see too far ahead of me, when it's all smoke.
And I can't take anything too serious, when it's all jokes.
And I had to learn, unlearn, and then learn everything I know.
And I never swallowed one word so chances are, homie, I won't choke.

(Verse 2)
What you want?
What you need, man? A piece of my life?
I obsess over words, am I piecing them right?
I just slept then emerged when the thesis was right.
And I stole all your hearts like a thief in the night.
A little Oberst, little Duckworth, little Neil Young.
I went covert, jumping in while we were still young.
And here's to the accomplishments, but they're too few.
Winona coming in and fucking up the new school.
With no genre, just happenin', being honest.
With no honors, we'll slap it and do the honors.
I'm coming in with a product and I'm a monster.
With no commas I make an oath and a promise.
It isn't me, I always said appendicitis.
The thoughts don't quell, they only swell like meningitis. 
Dope and dealers.
Smoke and mirrors. 
Coke and feelers, nope.
Hope you hear us.
Don't come near us.
Unless you're used to smoke.
Flint and whiskey
Quick as Ricky Henderson I go.

Do I find shade under money tree though?
I don't think, but it might help.
I don't think that it'll help, but it might help.
I don't know if it'll help, but it might help.
I don't know if it can help, but it might help.

(Outro)
And I don't.
And I can't take anything too serious when it's all jokes.
And I can't swallow one word, I won't choke.
And I can't see too far ahead of me when it's all smoke.
And I never swallowed one word, so chances are homie, I won't choke.
