lyrics
5. RIGHT HERE This right here be the
new whiplash, that Kim kardash
that ya’ll want to smash this right
now be the new tao, the reason I’m
doing it, the here and the now/ You
see how I does I does it, no easy
answer, I’m smooth criminal and a
sample arranger, Cliff hanger, the twin
kicked out of the manger, acting like
somebody in a club full of strangers,
the killer with a banger, the size of
montana, live from shangra la get
you amped like Angela you love it
like shiny rocks, go dumb and keep
rolling, these lines are getting hot,
but ain’t none one of them stolen,
painting the perfect picture with the
paint i’ve been holding, acting like
we straight, but you already folding,
trying to cash in but I’m already
golden. nobody said freeze, why the
what are you posing?
(chorus)
this right now be the new death,
with a life worth living without a
bulletproof vest this right here be
the warning to police 2 fingers in
the air held up to say peace this
right here could be the new high
with control of your mind do it
do it right this right now be the
new theft, with a penny for your
thoughts, because it’s all you got
left
I aint on drugs, but i see why you
is cuz, life is a lot harder when your
sober and clean cut, so grow that
hair and play that rock music loud,
cause the sixties they all back in
style, y’all mickey mouse, house,aint
got no soul when it’s bumping, yawl
50 out the mouth, but never get
keep it one hundred, peep that script
I’m retouching, everybody got lyrics,
but it’s all about suffering wait still
buffering, hope you got the time,
because our kids depend on these
rhymes, to pay these bills, we’ve gotta
make 9 go into five, and show these
mathematicians what it means to be
live, I’m ready to be old, but i ain’t
ready to sit, too many sprits to lift and
moments I missed but now it’s about
pop culture and getting even, and
fighting y’all til I get what I believe in/
(chorus)
it goes boom bap boom boom
boom bap, you’re skilled in the trade
of making an old man nap i swear
i spend all of my time putting on
clinics, taking l’s for y’s and I end up
being a cynic, easy be noticed when
you the closest to gimmick, with a
dumb tattoo for every dumb minute,
i don’t pretend to get it, i don’t know
why you never edit, but you sell
a million records on somebody’s
credit suffocated yourself for some
minimum wealth, your lip synchs
sink like bricks to the bottom of hell,
but only time will tell how big my
head gonna swell looking down on
all suckas who ain’t doing so well,
a singer writes songs, a good man
rights his wrongs, i’ll do this all day
long, Shalem give me some more
drums to to snap on.

I'm not really sure why I slept on this album for so long. Oh that's right, I prefer the blue pill to the stark reality of our morally defunct society as presented in this brilliant piece of work. This album is a poignant combination of rage, desperation, and just enough hope to force my eyes open. Jay-Radd
Album of the year. In a fair and just world, they would be headlining festivals with this one. Big hooks. Vivid verses. Fingers-crossed, the instrumentals will get the vinyl treatment. Goodwill Hunter
Sometimes you come across an artist that is compelled to do what they do.
I appreciate the musicality and the arrangement and the artistry of the songs. He sings and plays like his life depends on it. I appreciate the humanity of the lyrics… Like reading Tortilla Flats, or watching Nobody’s Fool.
Ceschi is a bright star. I’m glad he’s loose in the world. oldtruck
