[Intro Terence McKenna] Obviously, when you evolve inside an animal body localized in space and time you get a hellacious set of reflexes and muscles designed to deal with immediate threat in the environment But at the core of the oyster is, you know, this portal into universal-ism; which we have denigrated into what we call the imagination [Hook] Driftin' I feel different I'm drfting Floating out Driftin' Man, I feel different Driftin Floating out [Intro Sample] Ladies and gentlemen, Whysir [Verse 1] This is for the kids in basements Sipping whatever they've sold you In a time where we can train you to play ball Or to be soldiers Or to feel unworthy of the path you choose As if you chose to Rest behind the holes in front of your skull You're here that means they own you You're one of them so go to school and go to church And learn what's cool And crave that stuff and start to drool And go bankrupt acting a fool Like you knew where path would end up When you started walking it Gotta lotta baggage on you Sitting road side talking shit We've got a space for vagrants just like you Who can't follow the rules Get desperate and then fuck up And then we'll put your ass to use Take a tab then teeth will dry From the forced smiles on your faces Side affects from antidepressants and non inflammatory agents If wait gets intolerable just ask friends or neighbors They charge more cuz they scored first But you get what you paid for In the land where standing in line for stuff is considered labor I can't stand for pharma culture I don't trust these pills or their makers So i'm [Hook] Driftin' I feel different I'm drfting Floating out Driftin' Man, I feel different Driftin Floating out [Verse 2] Drifting in and out of dimensions did I mention I'm dope Meant for greatness grate your cheesy bars it's butter that I smoke I'm a psychonaut and ass will not determine which way I go But acid may and MDMA and shrooms and maybe even dro I watch the news and break a sweat and write a rap and cash a check and take some drugs my life's a wreck so self destruct Amassing debt I wish I could escape the traps I feel I'm always walking in I've gotta my life back on its track so grab some scratch and wins I gotta space I've built inside my mind that takes me into space i fuel the craft and then blast off The whole planet is then erased And when you emcees on the fence see me I can't wait to see your faces In the meantime I'll be grindin Down In Portland Cashing rain checks If pain gets intolerable consult a physician And if you're bored see a hypnotist, palm reader or magician I'm a technician out of work Who has his tech game legit and I may just be imaginary Mirage in the distance [Hook] Driftin' I feel different I'm drfting Floating out Driftin' Man, I feel different Driftin Floating out

[Hook Kesha] I don't know what I would do without you I don't know what I would do without you oh no I don't know what I would do without you I don't know what I would do without you oh no Oh no [Verse 1 Whysir] Starting late better late than never Won't stay this way I'm way too clever So mix it how I like it and pour me another I don't wanna think about the places I've been brother Mother told me to avoid getting numb We all are gods eyes Thy kingdom come But moms gone and I hurt and I'm young and dumb Now I've got 99 problems addiction is one of them Reminiscent of the days before I stayed steady smoking heavy chlorophyll Before I lived in the city or before all the hills I used to like to take vodka shots along with my pills Hard admission I had to be skillful Slow loss of myself and my willingness to feel well Dove out of D.A.R.E Like Evel Knievel Taking tabs by the handful just so I could sleep well [Hook 2 Kesha] I don't know what I would do without you I don't know what I would do without you oh no [Verse 2 Whysir] Aching and shaking as I sit in withdrawal Can't sleep anymore and my skin is crawling I've been at this two days sweat keeps pouring Cutting this shit cold turkey my life's too important No longer on track Id fallen from grace And this track im on now is to remind of that place Cuz I'm not going to have to rely on this daily They took away one pain but all these new ones they gave me Setting them down back away gracefully Sometimes miss the daze and numbness they laid on me But I'm not coming back lord help me or prey on me No anesthetics have to feel what they take from me Can't think about the places I've been brother So mix it how I like it now and pour me another Won't stay this way I'm way too clever Starting late better late than never [Hook Kesha] I don't know what I would do without you I don't know what I would do without you oh no I don't know what I would do without you Oh no Oh no Oh no Ready? 1,2,3,4

Ain't Mad 02:48
[Hook] People on the platform without a ticket I ain't made about it The dream is to perform then get paid off tickets Now they're mad about it A lot of runners on the corners looking for the digits And I ain't mad about it Go and get it how get it Cuz you gotta feed your children I ain't mad about it [Verse 1] Respecting your elders isn't about submission to archaic ways It's about expressing patience in learning From an entire life's worth of mistakes It's not the fault of the last generation They're blind to the other side of our crime rates If we were just more accepting of how people get medicine We'd have more pride and less lyin' in the cage So fuck being nameless and invisible I wanna get shit done One nation indivisible Divided by two parties Minus those like me Times one percent, no We get no translucence And are doomed to foolishness but used to it (can't run) Cuz we sit in literal shit And look at them at the top where all the cool shit is (ooh look at that, I want one) [Hook] People on the platform without a ticket I ain't made about it The dream is to perform then get paid off tickets Now they're mad about it A lot of runners on the corners looking for the digits And I ain't mad about it Go and get it how get it cuz you gotta feed your children I ain't mad about it [Bridge] Just want an opportunity to walk away calmly I'm not here for an eternity but that doesn't stop me I'm confident I'm not gonna get caught in the tarpit I'm walking in By the time its up to my knees I can smell the fire starting [Hook 2] But I ain't mad about it I ain't mad about it I ain't mad about it

[Intro Whysir] Hold on Before we start this one I I've gotta check my twitter and instagram real quick Okay we're good Lets do this [Verse 1] Multiverse is my bitch: Astral project A lot of progress since my last project A wiser man does more And talks a lot less Smoke reefer till I clear the room Or the rooms potless If you see them looking at me Tell them they don't want this It's the dabbing rapping skating phenom non anonymous I'm super cool but fragile dipsticks Act insulted on some dumb shit And real seekers know with growth I been synonymous so they bump this I get played for for their baby mamas Daddies and their cousins I'm the emcee on dmt auntie couldn't get enough of The hookup if you want something To bump and shake your cupboards Been to the spirit world and peered at worse things out Than most would run from To the the fake friends: Sam Beckett Over all of them; leaps are quantum They change like the autumn leaves I'm ahead and leading all them It gets deeper: I see through their eyes They realize they're falling As seasons wane they swap display Now colors match their calling I'm sifting through the grime and grit And vaping flower pollen I'm 2 plus 2 times 2 legit I'm six see and they want me So don't get caught Sleeping Or playing games you know I'm awesome Go download both my mixtapes Then act good like Alec Baldwin [Hook] If You find yourself hanging on a cliffs very edge The one thing that won't save you: Imaginary friends Hiding behind the unseen Till the scene is suspenseful Can't really get real With these imaginary friends tho [Verse 2] Been Popping caps and rapping So much room to improve I'm talking psilocybin fungus Taking shrooms in the booth Take me to a new dimension Maybe show me some truth Share my visions with the people They need knowledge that's new Waiting for cosmic alignment I get centered like noon Both hands up toward the heavens More like 10 and 2 Elevating my mind while having a hell of a time doing it And you'd instagram the last good meal you ate Just to prove you did In good with sexy ladies Who just love and adore me You know the type who turn A trio breakfast date to an orgy Into my style Compliment it Won't take a forgery Love my penmanship And ask what they can do for me For the D I rhyme so tough, smart, neat, and crazy You couldn't rap any more week If you were all 7 days Slay the streets like pussy Ride concrete like waves Perfect audio confections For their ears to come taste They use the booth for confessions I use it as paste Between these thoughts interconnected Binding me to this place All but lost here And finding that the dislodged and displaced Can learn from each other with acceptance and patience This pent up pain Is my pen, paint, and paint pen The pallet I use? The air waves And the ways I can play on them And of course all the words I say And how thoughts can play off them But some will still draw distance Put up walls Or just take offense [Hook] If You find yourself hanging on the cliffs very edge The one thing that won't save you: Imaginary friends Hiding behind the unseen Till the scene is suspenseful Can't really get real With these imaginary friends tho [Verse 3] Write on paper in the moment Only in roman numerals Illegible Passers by elbowing me Cuz I'm so humorous Bliss in people's ignorance: Chicken ramen noodles; They stay salty I don't fault them Use no caution with hubris Hold the comments Haley's comet Could just come back to get me I'm that interstellar rapper In the land of the hippies Dirty varmit spitting sonnets Circumstance may get iffy So I do front flips cartwheels hand stands For you to understand or get me Fandom forming Like a snowball Clear and cold as ice Walk through doors without the clearance Take out haters concisely No heaters We defeat them With words our weed and spice Armed to teeth to tease the weak emcees In disbelief , surprised And doused In their own medicine They 'eff' it up I'm infinite Can't catch a break Migraine headaches Get them acetaminophen See through them: Cellophane Stuck to shit they meddle in I'm charging up, and blasting off And stealing moves like mega man Now you feel inspired? Well we're in dire circumstance Omega down to alpha From the fire To the frying pan World is full of liars And outliers with truth in hands Some hand it out Some lock it up Some always just sit in the stands Some adjust the TV set Cuz they can change the channel Or glaze over the sum of things Take on more than they can handle Some will sleep in Some will slip out Some will think that your an asshole But in summary Something you don't need Are the fake friends and all their hassles [Hook] If You find yourself hanging on the cliffs very edge The one thing that won't save you: Imaginary friends Hiding behind the unseen Till the scene is suspenseful Can't really get real With these imaginary friends tho

[Hook Whysir] Another gone nothing gained Souls lost to sunset Because dawn never came Say it again Another gone nothing gained Souls lost to sunset Because dawn never came [Verse 1] I represent the lonely runners in the street making moves and keeping tabs on that low so what you need? This is Portland Rip city But you ain't ripping shit off me You got a dollar? No? you got a shred of decency? Cuz if you wanna see the things I've seen You've picked a decent seat Don't you look down Stop dehumanizing me I haven't eaten much today And I haven't slept in 3 But I'm hyper aware of my environment So get on my frequency I see a city and its burning but it rains most every day and I see children acting grown up cuz grown ups got locked away I see chilling sights of souls who've come far and lost their way Because their vice of choice was handed With no advice or love in that way All alone in cold they shoot up or smoke to try and escape And the problem it is overflowing though it doesn't feel that way No plan to where they are going Just questions they can't take Should I take the Max today? Or throw myself in front of the train? [Hook] Another gone nothing gained Souls lost to sunset Because dawn never came Say it again Another gone nothing gained Souls lost to sunset Because dawn never came [Verse 2] I represent those called crazy or those labeled ill repute I'm here to ask you beyond blankets and clothing what can you do? Voices speak to me at night about walls closing in on you They are legion and they aren't leaving me with much choice to see this through I need meds they say but those make me itchy and sad And the food banks will give me groceries if I give them an address But time takes its toll and I just know there's poison and pathogens In the food they feed me and the pills and needles And I'm out of chances Man sits at the brink of evolutionary cusp But I get paranoid and confused and don't know who to trust And it may be easy for those with family or those with luxury But I have neither now Just me and the voices so I guess I'll be punished I'm at your bus stops and corners just asking for bucks And my case isn't every case but resonates with a bunch So remember that next time you have a mimosa with brunch I beg for change but rest assured I ain't asking for much [Hook] Another gone nothing gained Souls lost to sunset Because dawn never came Say it again Another gone nothing gained Souls lost to sunset Because dawn never came

EARTHDAY 02:16
[Hook] Every day is earth day and this universe is your birthplace A living verse as we rehearse Or work or learn or yearn or play [Verse1 ] The earth turns in two ways It turns as in rotates And it's turns as in it alters us all With space and time and to different states And I don't mean different states like boarders between a place On a map I mean actual manifestations on different planes And when I say different planes I don't even know what I'm saying I just know that I am having a blast and laughing as we elevate From being able to tell you "hey!" To being able to tell that hate Isn't the way to resolve lack of harmony Or deal with our mistakes Arms dealers are on the chase for new and creative ways Of taking apart your favorite creatures around here That God creates So here we are: lost creators Little 'god fingered apocalypse bringers' We can get lost watching our thoughts Or sunsets or Jerry Springer We can listen to Jerry Garcia Or be Grateful the Dead can't see us Or be grateful that the cancer that you had that they excised Can't beat ya We exorcise our demons And exercise our freedoms And exercise outside When we feel our insides need it We can poor cold cement Or we can hold new infants We can supply the poor And cold With new hope our choices are infinite [Hook] Every day is earth day and the universe is your birth place A living verse as we rehearse Or work or yearn or learn or play

Best Rapper 03:47
[Hook 1] Best rapper in Portland from Utah Best rapper from Utah in Portland It's funny how swaps in orders and ops could have Changed way the course went [Verse 1] My flow's tight as a corset You're fucked like intercourse When you say expertise is important Then flip flop and try to force it Insecure society I hate to tell but your acne is showing I'm pretty sure you'd like to see me And my kind backed into a corner Cuz I'm inclined to not agree with backers of a country With food and shelter for all who need Held lock and key by a few high level hoarders Fork over yours cuz cash isn't a resource It's a promissory note And this promise has more than been broken More often than common tongue English is spoken You're searching for affirmation I'm just contemplating my platform You can't imagine all the places I can plan an attack from And as you compensate With likes for hate encapsulated I just transform You can't write for shit and your passions fake And you're friends don't like you if you have some Just stick to the facts son I talk casually in rhyme About things that happen in days passed I'm that mother fucker mother goose Would love to get her hands on And I'm a singer too with long hair But I'm not Manson, Lennon, or Hansen I'm the soothing tune you're grooving to Call me Whysir Kind of a madman [Hook 2] Best rapper from Utah in Portland Best rapper in Portland from Utah And they just clap or hate Cause now they see the skills the dudes got [Verse 2] Love is loss and I'm the vessel for what's left and for what's not Can't digest imagination Can't keep feeding all these thoughts I'm up nights tossed turning burnt fingers on stove tops Just to gather content for another shot At loading a beat with knowledge Can't for sure say it's been worth losing all that I have gotten Some nights feel boxed in locked up hidden away and forgotten So shout goes out to you out there Pushing for your passion I'm sure you wish that I had heard of you Or acknowledged you in passing But I've got knowledge to drop on you You don't know what you're asking I've got my own problems We all do I'm not marketing or masking I want actual peace found in my life And happiness in days passing But theres motherfuckers running loose I'd love to get my hands on Talking useless shit could care less About your mansion money or plans and You need to get with it Give hand outs, be hands on, put your hands in [Hook 3] Best rapper from Portland or Utah Best have a good time and enjoy it Cuz there's scavengers sitting in the sticks With tricks to take this spot you know it [Verse 3] You're about to explode They see where you go Copy your flows Gain acclaim for ground you've laid But can't complain for price of involvement We all want more then allotted time slot But we need to stop it There's a circle here And it's not just about poverty or profit Cuz if you take more than you give You take the extra and then toss it Not to those that need just to the aether At that point it's gone we've lost it This silly shit we're sticking with Has gotten beyond preposterous We all live for the impossible hoping God hasn't forgotten us We tend to seek out differences rather than seek what we have in common Thus lines are drawn then swords then bombs and look how far that's gotten us Like a gymnast hand to hand routine upon a pommel horse We all have a daily balance Hope my thoughts have swapped or upended yours Get in nasty hand to hand combat only as a final resort But stay on the front line head on as long as there's news to report

[Intro Whysir] We've found ourselves caught in cataclysm conflicts unending lay waiting and then some and even though the sun may rise on the day we're facing We're in way over our heads In a less than favorable situation [Verse 1] Most days I feel my head about to burst trying to quench this thirst I feel for the world I fear for its workings and I'm not the first I'm just not the majority they've made that much overt good men remained still the lights been covered lined up at corners enlightenment undiscovered goaded into grinds to become "ideal lovers" that they never find so with entitlement they pine over fodder fine if unguarded we yell "engarde" at each other pick a political party then we arm up for the culture so far from farming most don't know horticulture cold storage reliance obvious as a cold sore cant grow up at all to garden's a no sir Just distilled Bacardi at the club where the hoes are killer is silent resign just for closure can't connect anyway just give likes and post more sold a fake life on a mobile phone poster so you're feeling the pressure from the bills and smart toaster no pleasure in paying and it's a pain and you hope for days when capital gain could go the way of the dinosaur those out in pain no assurance, underinsured their quandary may not alarm you but Ill assure you it should for how you treat your sick that's how you are seen by the world and we just leech off of ours and it's so far from good [Hook 1] and it's so far from good We just leech off of ours their in need of us now This is the call to arms this is the call to arms their in need of us now Evil that still prevails is evil we allow [Verse 2] Life in a bubble leave in conditioner rewritten history been in trouble this year cry for the mothers; intentions so crystalline can't care for youngins with these tension in the streets pay ten for a hookup pay attention to police if Pat downs escalate kids can end up deceased of course cops get found with no fault and walk away freely while the family is left without a child wallowing grieving or get a sentence get booked like a sentence in a book they lock you up in their library suspend disbelief stuck in a system mistaking skin tone with Ill intention to separate us by melanin and bury those who disagree still why we'd hand over the nuke codes to an orange xenophobe with tiny hands and a comb over is a mystery to me It's a mystery to me he's just so orange and xenophobic never tried to hide it just platformed and showed it somehow crowds clap for him in all of his ignorance a reflecting the worst of us in our darkest of doings in our darkest of doings no need for condolence a danger to the planet now he's more than an annoyance annoyance worthy of resistance resist; we for sure should we'll float in refusal won't can be buoyant as would racist system has a head look where mistakes just took us can't allow him to do harm that's just So far from good for us [Hook 2] it's so far from good for to allow him to do harm Look where mistakes took us this is the call to arms this is the call to arms We're in need of it now Evil that still prevails is evil we allow [Hook 1] and it's so far from good We just leech off of ours their in need of us now This is the call to arms this is the call to arms their in need of us now Evil that still prevails is evil we allow
