about

[Losing touch with our own bodies]

Continues the technology/humanity thread lyrically a bit but this song is mainly meant to energize. To put us in touch with our bodies with the energy of the music and rhymes. Great production by Dom Dias, super talented young producer in town.

(Get in Touch)

How come he kilt it for no reason?
How come its always like cold season?
He just so sick
He got 2 degrees—
how come his flow is below freezing?
How come the lyrics approach genius
Still though he had to approach genius.com
Saying yall making dough off my lyrics
But won’t pay the broke genius that wrote em?
Parasites
How come you dont pay to clear the rights?
Or at least get the lyrics right
You’re a lyric site —
I said have me unverified
They said how come?
How can you not see the outcome?
Of a track record
You can’t outrun
All of these vultures
Thinking they’re fly
‘Cause the cloud’s
Where they get their clout from?

How come?
No reason
How come?
No reason
How come?

Ppl keep telling me
Preach bro
Low key been the ethos
Never needed all the ego
Never cheated
That’s my cheat code
How come he still such beast tho?
How come the sum doesn’t equal:
I mean theres only one of him
And there’s 3 of them
Still this goes like the Migos
Whoa, wait
wanna be great?
Gimme a break
You don’t put work in like
gimme a break!
How come I don’t make mistakes?
I just dont make mistakes
How come they fake?
Speaking of real/reel…
How come I did this on analog?
I just killed em all
now they got it on tape
That’s a mistake

How come?
No reason
How come?
No reason
How come?

I dunno
Dont ask me
I ask the questions
I’m passing the tests
They’re passive aggressive
I’m past being best
My passion’s obsessive
They’re asking me
How come?
I dunno
Dont ask me
I ask the questions
I always ask God
Why I have the blessings
He told me that I
have to bless them
No flexin
But I’m Mozart meets Omar
See me on Netflix with Ozark
I’m Rondo
Yeah the old guard
Rookies sit down
Still they don’t start with me
Gold bars
Gimme some credit
No gold cards
How come they
Calling me Joe Carter
Cuz so far
Who’s hitting
The dome harder?
Bro I dunno

Big but tight energy from this album that perfectly fit the closed-up vibe of the pandemic and reminded you to call your loved ones. It feels like these important folks in Amir's life each get a bit of their vibe wrapped into the song following. Sable Knight
