A Scientific Left
01:18
|
|||
Bombs and wrecks and victims
And consequentialism
An odd perfectionist
To mention this
Regard utility
Reading all this Darwin
Even though I'm a Marxist
And pardon the jargon
Niggas all know I'm the darkest
But still with morals to achieve
That's what ethics means
What the fuck is there to bring?
But solutions to the problems
Sob, listen and solve em
Abortion, infanticide
Authority on civil rights
Morally to pay the price, there's
Death and drowning children
Effective altruism
A mess is all I witness
Deontology as a gimmick
Possibly due to limits
Of reasoning and cognition
It's bleeding of superstition
In dimensions
Lack of knowledge and scientific thinking
Facts abolished is a crime on par with treason
A Scientific Left when all else is sinking
When all else is sinking, when all else is sinking

Value In Experience
02:04
|
|||
Meditate about why they're so serious
Investigating value in experience
These niggas write bars with a priori
Or memoirs in the form of stories
Boring
Too much rhetoric
Like Maury Povich
Inject serotonin with smaller dosages
Diffusive like osmosis is
Humanity and flaws come in twos, yeah
Just like chromatids
Corroded like arteries
Pardon me
"This is how we do it" like RnB
Vestigial bodies repeated so heartedly
Importance is all in what seems odd to me
Draw parallels
Like parallelograms
And a thought is a plot
Just for every other man
To expand what he got
Like a fucking rubber band
In a box with a fox, like my name is Sam I am
But that thot gimme top
Episode-induced and it's changed by position
Making bad decisions
Latent, sad and centrist
Kantian intentions like I'm Hegel with the questions
Stupid with it, treat perspective like it's fiction
It's just Menace vs Villain
Chomsky; Language acquisition
Did I mention?
No more conventions
Keep it up, give it up like a pension
|

Heraclitus
01:57
|
|||
My style like a car with no pedal
A pad and a pencil have a nigga go mental
Do it so experimental, embedded like genetics
Nigga, call me Gregor Mendel
I'm like a thought experiment
Cough when I scoff like a nigga is too serious
Rare scene weariness
Bashar al-Assad like an Arab Spring Syrian
Catch me running through the sun
Binary opposition like the 0s and 1s
And I'm done
Swing my flow and reading Dostoevsky
Flex on hoes, my girl just might undress me
Rap at shows, they say "You perplex me"
I lost my soul, but never felt too empty
Mathematician like my name is Lotka
With the brandy, never drinking Vodka
They just like candy, cause them niggas is too sweet
Shout out to, Kid Capri like I'm Biggie in Juicy
Loosely, speak my name
And don't ever complain
Look at my mind in vain
And think that I'm insane
Oh, I am
Doing what I can
Oh I am
Doing what I can
Catch me running through the sun
Binary opposition like the 0s and 1s
And I'm done
|

Diamat Bars
02:21
|
|||
Serial material, flexing golden
Uncertain intuition like Texas Hold Em
Juxtaposition of the thoughts and the spoken
As if I need more tokens
No? I bleed too much focus
Did you notice?
What kind of poem is this?
Clear if contrived like pop culture references
Only a culture vulture could be impressed with this
Give the cold shoulder to a pessimist
Kill, lethal
Like some diesel or a .357
Smith & Wesson
No conundrums for the regal
Real like a feeble lack of freedom
To the evil on that "Can I get to heaven?"
What did he do? What did he do?
Like pantyhose, their persona is see through
I'm like an actor from Glee but less gleeful
Elude, seclude, imbued
With merit and money
Marilyn Manson with limericks, it's funny
How random is chance? That's irrelevant sonny
Cancerous, answer this, progressivism
And vexed decisions
All leaders claiming just populism
But my nigga you still got a fancy pot to piss in
With pure optimism
The market is just, too smooth
Picking apart a thief, like I'm Zeus
It's getting harder to grieve
And I'm just falling asleep after counting the sheep
I conclude
"Workers of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but your chains"

Structural Approach
03:02
|
|||
Diffusion, like finances or quarks
Approach a party like Benghazi without tramples or force
But bring the chaos, no liaisons or amicable peace
Fuck deconstruction, using reason as a seasoned critique
Read about, semiotics and pragmatics in relation
To topics used to communicate the innate anthropic views
In a way, see I'm amused, there's a pattern of progression
I'm eager to fight this second, and this pen is my weapon
I looked at humans like I'm Marx and Saussure
Saw evolutionary facets in material terms
Held dialectic with some hoes and my mind made it work
Reading some Chomsky, Dawkins, and Lev R Ginzburg
Thought gets confusing
Like what's worth losing?
Focused on just improving
So I'll be less human
Yeah, I'll be less human
The basis is just matter
From quarks, fermions, atoms
To carbon up to the man
The same as others and
The cortex as it's finest that self-defines
It's brightness as it likes, though
Not too different from a slug or a pig
Just too cocky and too snobby to infer what it is
My conclusion is illusions such as free will
And consciousness are products of embodying
Evolution as consequence
Obvious
Slow to make, took a quick break, to learn what to say
Felt kinda dumb along the way, but the discourse, just enforced
The truth displayed
That's synthesis my nigga, an empiricist always changes
Thought gets confusing
Like what's worth losing?
Focused on just improving
So I'll be less human
Yeah, I'll be less human
Context, splitting it up
Index, digging in what?
Pivotal pinnacle of clutch
With that "Big Money" like I'm Munch
Or wanting big money like I'm human
But surely that's stupid, Diffusive's like the ubermensch
Just improving, improving, and proving and proving
With deductive conclusions, inductions included, my nigga
Just improving, improving, and proving and proving
With deductive conclusions, inductions included, my nigga
Thought gets confusing
Like what's worth losing?
Focused on just improving
So I'll be less human
Yeah, I'll be less human

New Negritude
03:04
|
|||
Yeah, nigga where the trap be?
Got a fifth, where the gat be?
Nigga came with a rap sheet
And a chain with some gucci
Pan-Africanism
What a wacky religion
See hutu and tutsi
Rap a bar too smoothly
Avatar like the movies
Get up and get em and
Go raw like sushi
I type code my nigga
Like Java and C when I flow my nigga
Write notes on a staff, allegro my nigga
Adagio, make it slow my nigga
Wow, wow my nigga
Rhyme smart my nigga
Read Engels and Hegel and Marx my nigga
All different flavors of art my nigga
Explaining the systems in parts my nigga
Still dark, my nigga
I'm overwhelmed by that
I should have never learned to fail, why's that?
The fuck is negritude?
Bless connections, and those infected with weapons
Entirely reminiscent of the questions to my younger self
Would harder work or potions help?
A father or some riches
Or just pondering the vicious knells
Too much complexity, the remedy is to think less
Or be less, pshh
That's a narrative of a parody depleted
I'm lovin it just like Venus
Or just like it's Mickey Dees
I'm just asking to myself "What were the naysayers thinking?"
I thought my batman mentality would save me from reality
But was put in check with the effects of my apathy
Stop for a minute, plot to the rhythm
Writing thoughts to precision of the bop with some riddles
And criticism is all that is entirely unique
Tough poor decisions require just defeat
In order to be seen
Look, none of them are speakers, or intellectually sound
Just believers with beliefs that are intellectual nonsense
The term 'conscious' is obnoxious to refer to yourself as
Yes, I'm just honest

Seas Of Lemonade
03:20
|
|||
Look at me and see perfect
While I look at her, I find purpose
As I infer it's all worth it
See all these emotions lurking, certain yeah
Existentialist philosophy and some poppy seeds
Pardon me, I'm just honestly oddly one with those common needs
And I concede that humanity is apart of me
And that dialectic, hard to mess with, quantity into quality
That's monogamy
Thought about paths emerged and looked closely
Brought about laughs and said the words slowly
Observations, acute impatience
Computation
I'm sophisticated
Looking at my life with hope
And all the words we spoke
And all the things we know
Make it easy to just flow
But with her, my emotions
Come out into focus
I think I have a soul, I think have a soul, yeah
Shoot through like the Mavericks with it
Semicolon criticism passionate schism
Attractive women with a knack for living
Sea of lemonade, citric acid sickness
Pick apart a feeling like Jacques Derrida
Eyes so pretty, you just want her to stare at ya
Life's so tricky, but leaving her's scarier
And I'm too engaged, pizza stains on those dinner plates
Stay humane, humanism needs no accolades
Feel like Fourier, with hopes of seas of lemonade
Hopes of seas of lemonade
Hopes of seas of lemonade
Looking at my life with hope
And all the words we spoke
And all the things we know
Make it easy to just flow
But with her, my emotions
Come out into focus
I think I have a soul, I think have a soul, yeah
Looking at my life with hope
And all the words we spoke
And all the things we know
Make it easy to just flow
But with her, my emotions
Come out into focus
I think I have a soul, I think have a soul, yeah
And I'm too engaged, pizza stains on those dinner plates
Stay humane, humanism needs no accolades
Feel like Fourier, with hopes of seas of lemonade
Hopes of seas of lemonade
Hopes of seas of lemonade

Empirical Thoughts
02:58
|
|||
Bet, my niggas finna speak in ebonics
A posteriori is the glory, fuck Austrian economics
Bossier than a God is
And just fostering a promise to destroy objectivism and revert back to logic
And the math, evidence is in fact relevant to the map
And measuring all the stats, but they lack
All the tendencies, remedy is technology
Strictly anti-praxeology, nobody stopping me
Rise to the top, don't conform and no confusion
The guy never stops, social reform to revolution
And I like Hip Hop, but never fight with a glock
I use my mind like a dull pencil, nigga what you thought?
A pity we don't love artists like capitalists love the market
And rationalists love to argue
And hipsters love their parkas
A pity we don't love artists like
A pity we don't love artists
A pity we don't love artists like capitalists love the market
And rationalists love to argue
And hipsters love their parkas
A pity we don't love artists like
A pity we don't love art
We give riddance to the foolishness
Diffusive is intuitive, ideas are eluding us
It's business as usual
Deductive and precise, low pressure, cookin rice
Dude's weathered like "home slice"
"I"m better I'm more concise"
Socialism with the schisms
Community-held agreements, Darwinistic pragmatism
Oh, how do we reason? With relative naturalism
The modernist Marxist, the wittiest and the darkest
A pity we don't love artists like capitalists love the market
And rationalists love to argue
And hipsters love their parkas
A pity we don't love artists like
A pity we don't love artists
A pity we don't love artists like capitalists love the market
And rationalists love to argue
And hipsters love their parkas
A pity we don't love artists like
A pity we don't love art
He's back to being the brightest, I want to be fly and famous
Pondering back to my hiatus, it was, too long
Trying to be more creative, I wish motivation were contagious
Because I've only written two songs
If I wrote more and spoke less
Ideas could be adopted, communication would profit
I would get my hobby started
The man feels invincible while streaming that's digital
Is making me cash, raps about coding and math
Raps about fascists at last
Raps about limited paths
Reading these quotes in a stash
Bout how capital's broken in half
"Capital is dead labor, which, vampire-like
Lives only by sucking living labor, and lives the more, the more labor it sucks"
A pity we don't love artists like capitalists love the market
And rationalists love to argue
And hipsters love their parkas
A pity we don't love artists like
A pity we don't love artists
A pity we don't love artists like capitalists love the market
And rationalists love to argue
And hipsters love their parkas
A pity we don't love artists like
A pity we don't love art

Pass the Napkins
02:16
|
|||
I caught you picking up ideas
And these niggas ain't heard
Omit a photon and third
Pass the napkins, I'm eating rappers
I'm eating rappers so pass the napkins
Pass the napkins, I'm eating rappers
A master at rapping
Invade with havoc and laughter
A made African adapter
"Move it" like Madagascar
I'm cruising from thereinafter
A dinosaur like a raptor
So cold and so distant
Like Alaska
They thought the lyricism wasn't there
Precision with it cause it's rare
A true musician with the rhythm and my victims should beware
When I spit that nasty shit like I got poor dental care
They all need to listen up grab some chairs
I'm the man, where's my title?
Bout my bands like these white girls
And then Right off the bat, they would all think that I'm psycho
Sign me my own autographs cause I'm my own idol
On a whole other level, grab compressors, increase the threshold
I'm just compelled to let you recognize genius
With rhymes so ill, I think these niggas all need kleenex
But back to the thesis, I think there's a lack of uniqueness
And surplus of weakness, and I'll just destroy em with keenness
I caught you picking up ideas
And these niggas ain't heard
Omit a photon and third
Pass the napkins, I'm eating rappers
I'm eating rappers so pass the napkins
Pass the napkins, I'm eating rappers
Na, Na
They like sodium
They're all addicted to me
I guess I'm opium
I'm Luther King with the speech
Just when I'm flowing
Like "I have a dream"
That one day
All these pussies disappear
And dissipate into fear
These niggas is too sweet
Like fructose syrup
Obtuse, rubber goose
Like fairly oddparents
I'm acute and so profuse
See that's very apparent
Even before I declared it, it's ego bars
With merit
I caught you picking up ideas
And these niggas ain't heard
Omit a photon and third
Pass the napkins, I'm eating rappers
I'm eating rappers so pass the napkins
Pass the napkins, I'm eating rappers

Watch Got Clean
03:00
|

Fuck do you mean?
Elegant genes
Wrist look silver
Socks look green
Ponder a bit about what you need
The man got clever and the
Watch got, clean
If a nigga really want it, he can get it, I'm a menace and I'm pimping with a sentence like
I'm Iceberg with nice words, linguistics get invented when I'm spitting rhymes
Pretentious with lexicons and ascendance that's well beyond
Exploding with coding and loading up when I flow, imposing on little souls and blowing up when I go like
Hiroshima, Nagasaki with the bombings, wow
Versace, Versace, Socket Secure 5 proxies, bro
In Milwaukee with my posse fuck yo colleagues, you niggas sleep
Stay woke, drink a coffee
I might just kill em, a Batman villain
Like Bane, I'm insane, I break backs for a living
Chaos theory, looking at feedback loops
My girl, rocking curls and high knee black boots
Throwing off these other girls like a teeth gap do, looking at gems and pearls like I need that too
Vanilla and chocolate swirl like I eat bamboo, doing it flawless
Twirl, twist, and swing back loose
Fuck do you mean?
Elegant genes
Wrist look silver
Socks look green
Ponder a bit about what you need
The man got clever and the
Watch got, clean
