lyrics

The problem with tradition
is that in an ever expanding universe
it tries to suppress
what it cannot control

Tradition is the anchor of civilization.
And civilization is madness.

It's madness to live this life in absolutes.
Perpetuations of poison. The want of
living unhinged.

The look in your eyes tells me
you're ready for something new
I wear that same face, thats how I
met you.

So tonight let's hold each other
and remember.
Remember why we gave that old
life up.

Remember why we gave that old life up!
Remember why we chose this life!

Day to day, we push on.
Living is not as easy as breathing.
I'm sure sick and tired of dying each day.

One-thousand breaths until you
gasp and feel alive. We push on
even though there's still no end in
sight. The revolution of the day
to day, is to change traditions until
the original form fades!

With the original form shook, we take
drastic measures and a self evident look.
The reality of things is that existing in this
world is a construct, one that can be
manipulated consciously or unconsciously.
The tangibles as intangibles, all consciousness
is expandable; like the universe, inside your
mind a big bang burst.

NNAMDIIIIIIII OGBONNAYAAAAAAAA (opera singing voice) YOU ARE KINGGGG OF EVERYTHINGGGG YOU DO IT ALL AND YOU EVEN KNOW HOW TO BALL This record is so dope. It has everything anyone could ever want. I hope one day to have that crunchy twerk swagger and I wish I was swerp, but this guy has all that and more. Art School Crush is a beautiful song and I could listen to it on repeat for days. The goofier songs are great for getting rowdy in your car smoking Gouda. Experimental-math-rap-pop for life! Drew Gabriel
