about

Love, Ulysses:
Standing with my legs on either side of the fault line
Honestly waiting for god to come split me for good luck
I’m an autonomous prisoner going Mach 5 in a muscle shirt
And a disappointing white liberal on a mission to get ya bubble burst
I juggle church and phantoms telling me the devil likes my songs while unknowingly slipping my backpack with a pipe bomb
But I’m Strong
I’ll leave this shit to be an NPC and disassociate from everyone of my MP3s
Like you can’t prove that’s me, I’ve been tech support this whole time AKA matching the AV cable colors in my own mind
It’s been a while since I wrote my own rhymes, I’m a vessel!
For big booty video vixens who listen to heavy metal
Can you pick me I’m cool and I’m definitely special
Except for when I’m not on Twitter then I’mma bitch
I don’t even know who I is outside of the blue walls
Negative in my checkings account bullet holes in my new draws
I’ll shoot off into the stratosphere just to have a beer with my friends Cause I think that’s what I care about most!
It’s not fair to count hoes
I was 16-22 tryna be the best rapper in the world y’all got a head start
I rap just incase someone tries to say it’s a dead art like fuck outta here bitch!

LU & KVG:
why
why why why why why
why do you do this?
why?
why
why do i do this?
why
why
why do you do this?

KVG:
sometimes i wonder what the flossin kid is doing at this very moment.
why do you do this?
why music?!!
please anything but music there’s only so many losers
who could pretend they’re at the edge of being discovered and are effectively rendered useless by their old friends and family
but the truth is:
i didn’t choose this.
sometimes i feel it was written all the way down to my physical movements.
not to leverage for a tv deal
or hemorrhage little clueless minds
you shoulda been a dentist
now your ruining
my image
new costuming
it was rapper for a couple years and now it’s something new it’s just
locksteppin' cosplayers
white rappin' rhymesayers
goofy little goobers thought they could outstep the mind flayer
who haven’t spent enough time there.
there being in the pits of my lair
your notes don’t chime here
here the line between shine, glare, fire, flare, grind, heir is quite clear
i am mind, air, space, power, soul and time here!
