Lyrics

... what a little rascal: cash crop
tommy jeans and some reebok black tops
mj jersey 45 black sox. thats hot.
holler at ur boy no caps lock
garage band like massive attack got
a whole lot kids trying to rap on a lap top
ill. just don't scheme for the jackpot
build. rep for your team like a mascot
sasquatch in the backdrop scream for slap shot
cup raised chi-town blackhawks
old Prince. crew keep it padlocked
step on stage rockin blouses and ascots
cats watch like the show was a cat walk
more like a NASA ship bout to blast off
shad rock. dope as a stash spot
of bath salts mass cult punch and some
crack rock

rock...

rocked stitches now stitches what i keep em in
wit like a needle pin spit with a evil grin
and a laugh like a haunted house rap like a black
modest mouse rocking out whilst on the couch
… and it feels pretty good
taking plaques back to my van city hood
but i move so much i don't know where my home is
sad im a homebody but im kinda homeless
show biz problems cant lose focus
throw this down go play like the old vince
old Prince savour faire and the intellect
please don't take this off the internet

rock...

This was the first Oddisee album I had ever heard. Still regularly come back to it. I know people who listen to underground always talk about the amazing artist you can find, but it was shock to find just an insane amount of talent from someone so unknown. Brycenotbric3
