this is true life: I ain't gonna fuck nobody tonight I've got a friend of a friend that I know who hates me cuz of some dumb shit I did when I was 17 and I went on a blind date once yeah clearly that went well cuz now I'm smearing all my makeup and somewhere along the way someone said to me something like, "queen, you're just the company you keep" well... I must be doing it wrong cuz all these boys that inbox me think that I'm strong BUT I'M NOT I'm feeling wrecked today still I'm always getting paid whether I'm back behind the drums or I'm front and center-stage but $$$ It don't mean shit when you just write songs about how no one's sucking your dick at least not physically but maybe metaphorically you'll pretend to be my boyfriend for a little hype from MTV? nah you must be kidding me man if you're not getting under me what makes you think I'll get behind your band? maybe you could lay me down beside you or in the ground you see I started out with nothing now they think I've got a lot and they expect that lot out of me but it never is enough so they always say "fuck off" but I'm never getting fucked

Thanks. what do you say can we just hang at my house and play boardgames I've got a little weed and patrón and some minor fame and I know that's more than what these other dudes got I'm not an OG babe but now I'm takin' shots lavender hair to match the lavender walls you say you like my button down? thanks I got it at the mall no this shit was on sale it wasn't new for fall I'm not those other rappers fake like they got it all instead of $100 bills man I've got $20 bills but that's fine cuz wasting time with you just feels right can you imagine all the shit we could get into tonight $100 bills nah I got $20 bills but that's fine cuz wasting time with you just feels right can you imagine all the shit we could get into tonight no I'm never really on the attack I'm more inclined to checking twitter and reading uberfacts and I'll take a nap wherever I want cuz when I'm tired I get sappy and I don't front so I'm not lying to you when I'm laying on the kitchen floor nose to the oven door back to the ceiling do you really think that I could fake this feeling? do you really think I make this shit up? $100 bills nah I've got $20 bills but that's fine cuz wasting time with you just feels right can you imagine all the shit we could get into tonight $100 bills nah I got $20 bills but that's fine cuz wasting time with you just feels right can you imagine all the shit we could get into tonight

Mr. Tuff Guy 02:43
In the absence of Lady Gaga from the first half of 2013 I'm asking you kindly to just bear with me if you know what I mean cuz I seek comfort in familiar faces and I'm scared of unfamiliar places and I think some real shit is about to go down and I'd like to have someone around but I don't wanna fall too hard I'll just end up with a broken heart and I don't wanna fall too fast I'll just end up back at the start but with a broken heart and I know you think that hating on me is kinda fun because the repercussions are none, but man that's like not even true! that only applies to you and I recently found out that you're a sensitive guy so I'd like to give you a try I know you come off overcritical and odd but that's just a facade and I realized that in the aftermath when you skinned your knee out on the bike path because I know I'm dumb but I'm smart enough to recognize when someone is just playing tough so what are you like some tuff guy now? [insert lovestruck clamoring about hating everyone except you] but I don't wanna fall too hard I'll just end up with a broken heart (with a broken heart) and I don't wanna fall too fast I'll just end up back at the start (back at the start with a broken heart) but with a broken heart but I don't wanna fall too hard (I DON'T!!! I WON'T!!!) I'll just end up with a broken heart (I WON'T END UP WITH A BROKEN HEART) and I don't wanna fall too fast (I DON'T!!! I WON'T!!!) I'll just end up back at the start (I WON'T LET YOU) but with a broken heart (break my heart) </3

I was faking sleep this morning when I heard you coming through the door as if that even matters cuz you don't care anymore about me or what we could be no you're just looking to score with some *basic bitch or dumbass trick* I could go on but I won't say more cuz that's the kind of shit that comes back to bite you when you least expect it that's the kind of shit that comes back to bite you when you think that you're finally over it but you're not :( and if I couldn't be the boy that you were taking to prom or maybe one day even put a ring on then I would have settled for the subject in at least one of your dreams but I don't think you think about me like I like to think about you and that makes me kinda sad is it my lyrics or my rhymes? are they really that bad? is it because I rock a camo case on my phone? yeah I guess I'm better off alone :( I mean shit's already complicated so just imagine how it'd be if we dated cuz I'm allergic to cats and honey and well... you're too smart to be funny [guitar solo from the heart] *not proud of these lines, never want to come off as hateful or derogatory towards anyone ever, I apologize* :(

I'm in this shit over my head I'm like the rap game Van Gogh I'M DEAD or about to cut off my own ear cuz when my friends talk about you I don't like this shit I hear cuz they all say that you're dull but man I'm cool with that and I can see you're bad at clothes and even worse at the internet honestly I kinda like that you're not a threat but I'm still scared that I'll regret we ever met cuz I could teach you how to take selfies I could put you on the map for real it'd be easy but................ I can't shake the sinking feeling that The Help I'm giving you will make you prime for the stealing cuz I used to only love the idea of you but now I've realized that you're actually pretty cool so we hang out every day and I'm with you all the time I think it's safe to say that I like you in real life :( but I don't plan very far ahead so god knows what I'd do if I got you in my bed I'd probably ~LoSe My MinD~ or maybe start to cry :'( cuz we both know that I'm not good at this shit I'm not sexy, romantic, or confident so I'll stick to my game of subtle compliments and only look you in the eye when I really mean it I tried to be cute and I tried to be sweet I don't wanna freak you out or make you think that I'm a creep so now I keep tabs on everything so now I keep tabs on everything that I do especially when it comes to you I don't like I don't like I don't like talking to you it makes me sad inside

"Hey you look really interesting" WOW FUXK YOU "and I like that you posted 'But It's Better If You Do" yeah I grew up on the classics and I never played in traffic but I like a guy with more tact than a Facebook chat now you're liking all my pics and you're faving all my tweets and oh you follow Diplo too? I guess that's kinda neat but honestly I don't care if you're feeling #rare you're not getting to my heart through your deviantART Cuz I'm looking for someone to share affection not just a strong internet connection to sing "Girls Love Beyoncé" to and watch Beast Wars with when I feel blue To be fair man you're not really my type like I wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't ride a bike oh we met at that show? oh that's right you were the JERK who was talking the whole time I was watching Mikey Erg so don't talk about videos, 90's alt-rock trios or high school obsessions with Panic! At The Disco cuz honestly I almost BARFED tonight when you messaged me and asked "hey baby do you wanna Skype?" Cuz I'm looking for someone to share affection not just a strong internet connection to sing "Girls Love Beyoncé" to and watch Beast Wars with when I feel blue [blah blah blah blah] I like sleeping in and Pacific Rim I like my record collection and One Direction I like pugs cuz they're small and I love Jake Gyllenhaal I like Blink-182 but I don't like you I love Adam Levine! and Morrissey! I love my furby! I love a lot of things! I like Ke$ha and tea! I love MTV! I like T. Swift and Miley too! but I don't like you [Drake plays quietly in the background]

I don't wanna be the only one who's having all the fun but sometimes man I wish that I could be a witch to cast a spell and get these b****** off my fuxkin dick and I don't wanna the the only king who's cashing in my dreams if imitation is the highest form of flattery consider me blessed but come on guys you're killing me I think it's kinda funny / really kinda sad that I'm in my early 20's and you're old enough to be my dad jackin' all my shit now for a little while while I've been up late googling pics of crocodiles and yeah I'm kinda impressed that you're sorta DIY but that font that you've been using has got me breaking out in fucking hives ew ugh no just no I don't wanna be the only one who's having all the fun but sometimes man I wish that I could be a witch to cast a spell and get these bitches off my fuxkin dick and I don't wanna the the only king who's cashing in my dreams IT'S McQUEEN OVER EVERYTHING

about

Recorded mostly in my bedroom and in my old bedroom at my dad's house lol. I think I recorded some stuff in the living room at my mom's house too but I don't remember what exactly. I made all this stuff on my own. despite spending a good amount of time on these songs I didn't have the $$$ to get these tracks mastered- if you like what you hear feel free to buy the album for any amount- all the profit just goes to improving the quality of the next release!
<3 Karl
