about

(I scored this beat from my homie the Solar Punk producer Ramayana while in Costa Rica and I just knew I wanted to come with some funky aggressive punk rock skater kid meets hip hop vibes. People say the Turntable is a dying instrument. And I get the argument, the Turntable is hardly present in the hip hop artform that it was once central to. But I think the Turntable is dope, and so it was a pleasure to bring my good friend and top notch turntablist Connah Jay to the studio to lay down a dope scratch solo on the song.)

lyrics

Can’t stop the ticking tocking
So we rock it
Got no options!

The worlds psychotic neurotic toxic
All is a product sold for profit
And I want to stop it
Never would have thought that
It be from right here
That I would start it
But it’s only from here
That I can start it
In the land of the Godless
Cops and monsters
Gotta do your dirt than
Don’t get caught cuz
Black helicopters in the Sky
Van’s swoop you up
In the middle of the night
Behind closed doors
You get no rights
So they call it a riot
But it’s an uprising
I said they call it a riot
But it’s an uprising!

We moving through our shit
Moving through our shit
Throwing elbows like we in the pit
Giving that love given that love
Doesn’t it suck
To never feel like you are enough
Say fuck that
Kick it up like hacky sack
With all these drugs in my backpack
I’m dope as fuck y’all that’s a fact
If the end of times is where we at
Tell me how will you choose to react
Will you try to live in science fiction
Or will you paint it black
Will you try to survive the aftermath
On nature's path
Or try to control the habitat
Change is happening fast like avalanche
Better have your maps like what!

The momentum of opposing directions
Is at an intersection
And in a second
With no second guessing
We must chose our truth
And if there’s one thing I know
Our true face will be shone
When we at the crossroads
So which way will you go!

Can’t stop that ticking tocking
So we rock it
Got no options!
