[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]

[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

Without You ft. Kesha

[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

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]

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

Imaginary Friends
03:56
|
|||
[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

Lost to Sunset
02:18
|
|||
[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

Wild

[Verse1]
It's that Romeo flowing that toblerone
my rhymes so sweet
girls licking their lips and their hips are moving
so they must know it's me
fa so la ti doe
doe ray me fa
I'm a no comply computer wizard
flow like a blizzard better go
scrape off your car Windshield
spit well factor is off the richter
these days if they're calling me Vick
it's cuz it's short for victor
I'm the mister misting your sister in the same place dad's kissed her and If you missed that line it's fine
just flick the flipper on our game of twister
well our world works the same
what worse its stale
that's isn't a tell
we get to be compelled
to let ships sail
a girl's grinding on your lap
and so it happens to to swell
she's grindin to this Whysir flow
but I ain't there?
she'll have to settle
[Hook]
I smoke a lot of pot and call the kettle black
they're in trouble I burst the bubble
I ain't going back.
I'm not too punctual and you punks will someday realize that
I'm not one to let the laws of space and time hold me back.
[Verse 2]
Don't hold me to that
just in case
in fact don't hold me unless you know me homie
just rest assured I lack patience
for stupid haters just go rewind the track
I know you're a little bit slow
I'm hoping to make some dough off that
lets get down: brass tacks
these emcees Am tracks
can't stand them to get through them:
had to sleep like cat naps
she let me get the kitty cuz
you're a beginner and I've got tact
and skills so between meals
I'm between the dames legs like snacks
[Hook]
I smoke A lot of pot and call the kettle black
they're in trouble I burst the bubble I ain't going back.
I'm not too punctual and you punks will someday realize that
I'm not one to let the laws of space and time hold me back.
[Verse 3]
Wearing miles on my face
I'm warren miles on paper
I'm Whysir on the Internet
I spit rhymes I smoke vapor
homies that know me call me warren
some call me "W" or dub
I'm a fighter I'm a lover I'm a thief not a thug
rhythmic timing I'm a pirate
I'm online too much
algorithmic I'm the solution
mark all of the above
no pollution green improved him I need dabs not fist bumps
I'll keep writing and riding the wave
and fit in the way I was made
I ain't dumb
captain planet:
man, I plan it with our powers combined
I cut off vestigial influence use rhymes to cauterize
it's up to you bump this jam
or dammit just get back to the grind
army of fans standing behind me
call that the rise of the why's
so bow down now and realize that as its name would imply
I'm more than willing to get wild with rhyming
to make you ask "why, sir?":
cuz I like when you speak politely to me
I'm that Romeo flowing that toblerone my rhymes so sweet

A Call To Arms
03:15
|

[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
