Goin In

Don't you know my name
Don't you know my name
Don't you know
Don't you know my name
Ah ah ah ah
Don't you know my name
Goin in
Don't you know my name
Goin in
Don't you know
Goin in
Don't you know my name
Goin in goin in goin in
Ah ah ah ah
Yeah I'm goin in, rainbow goblin, noun dancin
I don't use a pen, I'm just typin in, mind expansion
Kick is sticky like a fly trap, no lie rappin
As a rule, one tool that defines what happens
I got breaks on the brain, kaiju on the telly
Link on the chain, chicky in my belly, shelter from the rain
Coffee caffin' me up, creatures dappin' me up
If life is scrappin' me upn then M is backin' me up
Right right
Ok I'm goin in deeper
Concentrate on my voice my choice on a verbal convoy
Make noise at a premium, awful insurance
OK endurance, that that'll see me in
2004, I was scrubbin' it up
Now in 24, y'all lovin' me up
I see how it is, you like mature artists
Not just that, I try the hardest
Sweet like candy, you can't stand me
Everywhere you go, I can be
Set the flow up so uncanny
Speedy tongue is hella handy
I'm goin in like your chip card
Buy our album, rep it so hard
We know y'all gotta grab it
Push it play it, automatic
Mello and Million, yeah we stay flop free
If it ain't goin in, then motherfuck it ain't me
Had this style all the while, tell me who you wanna be
Gone and paid all the dues, now I play for a fee
Yeah we're Mello and Million and we stay flop free
If it ain't goin in, then motherfuck it ain't me
had this style all the while, tell me who you wanna be
Gone and paid all the dues, now I play for a fee
Don't you know my name
Don't you know my name
Don't you know my name
Ah ah ah ah
Don't you know my name
Don't you know my name
Don't you know my name
Ah ah ah
You'll never catch me running out of ink on a master plan
Mostly Mello, gunning for a drink and a paper fan
Moistly bellow motto biru kudasai, I make a messy model
Stay tinkering with tricks like a passive income TikTok grift
Whether vertical or any other feature
I strive to bring the past back and school it on the bleachers
A real renaissance kid, don't leave nothin untried
You I size up, I wise up and rarely break my stride
I take your temp, I pump it up, I shake the systematic
Sample addict tuckin lil scraps under paper raps
On this earth I work my plan, worship the B-E-A-T
Teenage little Mello man, I still do what you wanna see
I used to rock shows to no one but the other bands
On the bill but goin in still, so they clap their hands
No one's round to listen I'm still pushin fuckin trees down
I bleed notes, I breathe riffs, I breed hits and seek sound
Mello and Million, yeah we stay flop free
If it ain't goin in, then motherfuck it ain't me
Had this style all the while, tell me who you wanna be
Gone and paid all the dues, now I play for a fee
Yeah we're Mello and Million, and we stay flop free
If it ain't goin in, then motherfuck it ain't me
had this style all the while, tell me who you wanna be
Gone and paid all the dues, now I play for a fee
M, hit it
What does it mean to seek sound
Like what does it mean to me
It means constantly opening yourself up to new things
Like listening to as much music as you can
Until you find that song
And you'll know when you found THAT one
And you think, oh my god, if I can't make something that makes people feel like that
In the time I have here
I'll be absolutely livid, how can I live with myself
And you hold onto that feeling, and you don't let it go
And you put some music in your hands, and just keep working till it's done
And then find the next one baby

Occult (ft. TV-MA)

I got two human sacrifices in the whip
Right
I keep tellin em, you don't need to strip
Right
Keep your windows rolled up and your seatbelts on you
On you
Cuz we can't have you dying till you got spells upon you
Yeah I found this book in a broke-ass graveyard
And the parts that I can make out, oh they go hard
Oh shit
All I had to do was wrench it out some dead hands
Woo
I'm not a necromancer yet but hey I got plans
If you want the power gotta pay the debt
Do you really wanna walk along the razor's edge
I will haunt you every second till you're laid to rest
Turn around right now and you can save your neck
If you want the power gotta pay the debt
There are a million other games you coulda played instead
Forget you ever found this, is your safest bet
Yeah, fuck that, just tell me how to raise the dead
Fine
And you get what you get, you get what you get
And you get what you get, you get what you get
And you get what you get, you get what you get
And you get what you get, you get what you get
Ah ha ha ha
Ah ha ha ha
I'm gonna be invincible
All you motherfuckers who made fun of me at the rec center
For flinching when the little ball went in my Ramune soda
I'll see you next time
Ah ha ha ha
Yeah I'm gonna be the best fuckin uh
Magic person that you ever heard of
King of this shit, just gotta read the book
One month later
No audiobook, no podcast, no explainer video, there's nothing for this thing
I'm not a big reader, you know, I get lost
It's like they don't want people to learn black magic
Haven't y'all ever heard of accessibility, there's different types of learners, you know
I don't wanna be broke anymore
No
I don't wanna eat ramen
Uh-uh
I wanna get an army of zombies
Tell em all to rob and then we keep robbin
Yup
I wanna be the most irresponsible necromancer in the Midwest
That's me
All I need to do is just figure out where to put the runes on my chest
I'll admit this ain't my best moment
Doin a spell and I just guessed on it
Woo
I'll break the summoning circle
Cuz I get my nervous sweat on it
Got mad demons I prank called
They satanically star 69'd me
Oh no
Goin to church so they can't find me
Oh no
Leavin no donuts for y'all behind me
Oh no
I'm in over my head but it's still attached
gotta find a helper with the wits and the will to cast
Got one craigslist search result for witch and yo we called em up
Just wanna talk, I'm smooth as fuck, can't be the one who brought it up
Like sprinkle it naturally into the conversation
Yeah
Uhh you noticed anything different around town related to your vocation
Hello, you rang
Oh this one is a mess
Sees the game in his head, not coming from his chest
Your lack'a strong will, weak intention heart
Make the heartbeat start unwelcome not up to par
The mortal, immortal, damned & the chosen
All agree on the ones we'd rather have frozen
Your expectation to bring back the strong quick n wit
Is about to get rocked so hard gonna wish you quit
Offer up bullshit, get bullshit in return
As every worst person known rises from they urns
Solicitors & tax collectors populate the earth
Cannot walk 10 feet without getting asked if you're insured
Delusions that a zombie crew can do all your biddin
While energy vampires surround where you're sittin
Hold up, that's not all, glad you called now
Learn about the free gifts you've earned yoself
Wealthy people with memes, telemarketers in your dreams
What you've done is your undoing, reality ripped apart at the seams
Nazis with bad breath, no personal space, the rotten spoiled
The individuals back enough for Satan herself to recoil
You wanna hustle? Get hustled in hustle hell
The hell you get to create, a charm from necromancy's spell
Witches work they magic, keep the inconsiderate at bay
Now the demons in your nightmares are gonna find out where you lay
You fuck with the underworld, try to turn it into profit
We'll hunt you down and make you wish that you were in a coffin
The word witch hunt was created for punks like you
Now even mortals & they mommas wanna turn you into stew
Life & death lose meaning when you got beef in every realm
Dead, alive, eternal, forever keep you overwhelmed
Thanks for calling, buh-bye
Wait no, don't hang up, please
Oh shit, oh shit this was a bad idea
I told you
Will you shut up, book, I don't need this right now
I'll fuckin' use a red popsicle as a bookmark, I swear
Ha ha ha ha ha
Oh, I gotta get on a church bus
I gotta get on a religious bus going north
Oh, I needa purify myself in Lake Minnetonka
I got about five dollars
Fuck

Freeware
03:23
|
|||
Don't call me freeware
I'm an unfinished prototype of sleepless nights
I'm a sculptor of my grief and spite until it's nice
And yeah I stick a UPC on that, I'm still not beyond that
20,000 hours in the lab they wanna feed on that
This ain't open verse, everybody rehearse
Go and get that Wal-Mart corded mic recorded all distorted
Like anybody who was born before the towers fell tried to tell their first little sordid stories
I'm moving faster than y'all can capture and print
You think you got your bag, you got a snapshot of a glimpse
Your compressor's distressed, EQ in a mess
Waveforms look like you passin lie detector tests
That's flattery, my words decaying matter for the worms
By the time it reach the soil it's only the basic terms
And someday yes i will be on the menu
Till then I'll just continue, to spread my wings and reach above the venue
Seek your sound
I think about how when I'm making something, it feels like I'm working at the highest level that I could ever hope for
But give it six months, a year
I can always find things I would do differently now
And I get how that might feel discouraging
But I really need that
That's how I know I'm growing, you know
And I hope I listen to this a year from now and feel the same way

Estate Sale

These old magazines are only like a dollar
This is so crazy
Do you ever think about what it, what it would be like trying to make stuff before the internet
To be on one of these pages could be like, life-changing
Everybody was trying to get in there
And now that's here
Yeah, yeah
Pile of dust
Maybe not even archived
Right there
So crazy, what
Woo
I rock the gift over the equator, only place to put my heat
I sock the grifter runnin the plays up under where I rest my feet
I'm real on wake-up like the Sunday paper so don't sleep on me
I dream in peace, if you enter my thoughts you must have paid the fee
Amazingly I came complete on day one, greeting the sun
When my journey begun, I said I was the best too hastily
But I had time to run it back and take the lesson placed on me
Flip it, study and apply it, then be quiet patiently
I don't want new sounds, I'm trying to control my environment now
I don't want two pounds, I'm trying to connect with something profound
I don't want noise, I want music, I don't want content, I want juice
I don't want constant fuckin abuse, I want to grip on what I can use
I wanna click and spin wheels like a fidget cube
I wanna sound much happier in my interviews
If you a loser with no skills then we don't two-way
I only hang with geniuses who don't do shit and then everything in 2 days
Oh look over here
This little chair, record player, you got a music listening area
Ah, we don't do that any more, like sit and listen to music in one designated physical place
And a record is so finite too, like it's not gonna queue up another playlist of stuff you might like
You're experiencing like, a musical film with a start and an end
I still wanna make something that knows that, you know
It really appeals to me
I'm trying to make you see sound, seek the speaker and sit down,
Pick and then sip a beverage while I work emotional leverage
Agonizing over textures and details vs. retail
And getting the shit done, I'm meeting with M at 1
So we can be grounded but astounding, cuz music gotta come out
At the end of the day if you can't hit play, the shit don't weigh an ounce
I catch feelings a great amount with shout outs from real people
Working real jobs in real time, dealing with real evil
That my CD could grace your Chevy and bring levity to your day run
That's like half of how we have fun, is starting with a kick on the 1
Like that
And the rest is just reaction in a fashion
If I can get across the passion, in my view, that's long-lasting
Check check, are you still with me, am I comin through
Draw breath, cheat death deftly with another loop
Whipping my connection to the source back and forth
As I clip out sections corresponding to my course
La la la, la, la la, ba ba ba
Lemme try somethin
My music, my music's like finding a bookmark in a book its owner never finished
and then wondering what's beyond that point
my music's like finding a sketchbook where you stopped drawing in the middle, years ago
Yeah, take the next page and just show me what you can do now
That kinda thing
My music's like finding an old pair of shoes at your parents' house, realizing they fit you better than anything else you have
It's never done, i'm telling you it's never done
I'm gettin so charged up I gotta go make something right now, shit
Let's fucking go

Biollante

I got four arms like Biollante
I can do some harm like Biollante
I ring the city alarm like Biollante
But have so much charm like Biollante
I go where I please like Biollante
I look gorgeous with ease like Biollante
You really think you'll appease Biollante
Cuz this bad megaflora had a long day
I'ma tell em like this
Go get it
I'm a big green plant with the vines pulled back
Godzilla better figure out how he wanna act
I attack, no rose, all thorn, on cue
You gonna step on a plant, then I'm steppin on you
If you run I don't chase, long body and grace
It don't matter your pace, I'm already there up in your face
Not no ordinary fern, and today you gonna learn
I get my chlorophyll, watch you abhor the feel
For real, I'm a creature on the mic
I can stop your work dead like a general strike
And turn heads, got your whole government in a tizzy
Jet Jaguar, where is he, been AWOL since '73
He can see Seatopia, but he can't see me
Whipping live on TV, gettin cheers from little girls
Who will take over the world and take it seriously
Call me an industry plant and I will crush you like ants
There's no escape
End of the line
Nothing you make can hold me
You used to see
Beauty entwined
Now you just break and fold me up
I got four arms like Biollante
I can do some harm like Biollante
I ring the city alarm like Biollante
But have so much charm like Biollante
I go where I please like Biollante
I look gorgeous with ease like Biollante
You really think you'll appease Biollante
Cuz this bad megaflora had a long day
Ay ay
Biollante
On the scene
Didn't wanna be mean
So mean
I am a queen
A queen
Maybe now you'll know what I mean
Biollante
On the scene
Didn't wanna be mean
So mean
I am a queen
A queen
Maybe now you'll know what I mean
Biollante
On the scene
Didn't wanna be mean
So mean
I am a queen
A queen
Maybe now you'll know what I mean
Biollante
On the scene
Didn't wanna be mean
So mean
I am a queen
A queen
Maybe now you'll know what I mean
