I don't wanna die On top of your shoulders And I don't wanna cry Cause this year is lonlier than ever before Please don't hug me I am scared I'm masking the voices with contempt Where is my head, hospital beds We're not broken, we're just bent And everybody in the room knows it true This year is full of disasters But one is not me and you And its a shame I know Cause we should be over this by now and there is no place to go But we find shelter somehow

I'm exhausted My shrink's voice is on delay I'm mad with my self But I know I'm here to stay I'm lacking in faith but I'm looking for it still I guess that's my objective, cause I've got some time to kill if a fan I had killed himself, how bad would that be They're just looking for a reason but they'll never find me pretentious translucent bastard who's just really hard to see So much influence from fiction, yet the truth has set me free It's just a concept I ain't mastered yet Lots of dysphoria in my voice and on my chest I'm starting to believe I am my greatest threat Dip my toes in the pool, afraid of getting wet Ready set, not prepared to go Silly little ants, man I wonder what they know All the basic principles, my library's a mess But people can't distinguish between a woman and a dress I moon walk on the moon while I'm wearing white No mask on my face, such a scary sight Glancing in the mirror, hoping change is what I see Such a stupid thing, hope, like success without the fee Playing far cry 3, favorite weapon is the sniper Working, eating ice cream, somehow it makes me hyper People always claim that parents make your day brighter But when she comes home I wish a snake would just bite her And then it'd bite me, it'd shrivel up and die But I'm not sure who'd be at her funeral to cry And that's upsetting, I know, but you don't understand Higher Power is weak unless a gun is in her hand But a butterfly is powerful, when it's white or black White means you'll end up with a burden on your back Black means you'll have a small anxiety attack I hear the natives calling my rifle going

I'm a wild child, beautiful child And yeah I'm in my zone (x2) I don't puff so I pass She's just been the shower, just crying for hours, cause shit doesn't last It's sad but she'll be back again, it's the truth, and i'm so fucking mad And Don't tell my momma I'm cursing, but if she knows, too fucking bad (Too fucking bad) My life's a broken promise, got trust issues ever since I was born with a dream, but I've only got a glimpse I don't dare to fall asleep, cause I just might fall away With no room for big explosions, cause I'm not Michael bay And I got nothing to say; it's your life, you go live it I ain't got no Diamond rings, no car, no girls in it I don't live in excess, where I live, money's printed Can't afford to live in ignorance, these eyes ain't tinted Yet I haven't seen a thing, can't be who I am Told to live inside a box, they give me legs, I want the lamb All I got is the fam; not by blood, except my brother and I'm gonna start a band

boy!orange 04:31
My head hurts Been crying for a minute They put me in my grave, but I've been laughing in it I was listening to Slim, some sort of inspiration I'm not gonna rob a bank But just hear what I am saying If you could even hear me at all My microphone stand broke It's up against a wall So I'm holding the mic As a real MC would do Took a break for 2 hours Came back cause I had to Boy!Orange/ really writing on the pad I don't mean to crack a joke about this period I had But I still did, and I hope you laughed out loud Hopefully on the train in a really heavy crowd My mom always says not to laugh in public To walk straight up, no hunch like a puppet But I don't see the reasoning, so I do what I do Disregard all her rules and then proceed to argue But I can't do what I want, I don't really really have a curfew But I never go outside my house Unless its for church or school But screw Her Once I'm 18 I'll be fine This is an album where I share what's on my mind. Boy! boy!orange Changed my rap name again and I don't know why Boy! boy!orange Changed my rap name again and I don't get high Lately I've been doubting if I should really go to college Too much money, not enough knowledge High school is a waste of my poorly invested time They barely taught me how to write, let alone how to rhyme All my money, how in the world do I use that How do I get a job? Where do I learn the facts? It's about time someone really gave me freedom Let me start driving, and let me go to Sweden I couldn't rap to even save my life I'm just doing this for teachers who are caught up in my hype This album just reads disappointment, just like my height I am 5'4 And I really like Spike/And I wish I had a bike But what can I do, I'm just writing in the dark with this words from me to you How I'm gonna make a profit I really have no clue Yet I still fantasize about getting tattoos Please, don't tell my momma I'm a rapper or a singer or someone who doesn't know what happens after we die Honestly I'm becoming an angel in the sky to transform into a human and give it a second try I Love the number 7, over obsessed with card decks I do not see my talent I'm loudest when I rest I'm giving up on music I couldn't be the best I'm trying to tell a story, you should not invest in it Because you cannot relate to me at all I'm a weird child who panics in the bathroom stall I don't fit in at all My class thinks I'm a freak I left blood stains on a really white seat That was an accident, I was stressing really bad Anxiety attacks, a bit more than sad Someone told me if the school blew up, no one would picture me Because, I'm never really mad Unless you take my stuff, Aidan that's for you And Isaac we might make it bro, I need another point of view Brandon, I've got no words but you know where my head is at Everyone else? Just wait, I'll be back But maybe older, with a really old car A small apartment, cause that's how black people are I could sleep for hours, people will know my name But now I deal with everything just remaining the same

The tv's still on Paint is peeling from the walls Pain in my chest, cause I'm trying to stall Lighter in front of your face And you've drunken so much that you're about to fall Oh reality, I'm surrounded Surprised that I haven't drowned yet Got 30 bucks, in my wallet Stallin' I'm tryna be you, Oh, We're one in the same Writing the story It remains the same Writing a rhythm The rhyme is the same I just stay the same Cause its so hard to change I haven't learned nothing since outside the womb Just keep to myself and follow the rules Orders are obviously my only friend Is life a circle? Or does it have an end? A pat on the head is so simple I'm lost in my head and so sinful I wish I sold albums in bins full So I could just say what I've been through Haven't been through shit, so privileged "We all raised you, it takes a village; God created you in his image" Well fuck that nigga's lineage I don't ever want to be like him, He's a violent, ego driven Sociopathic, psychopathic Women condemning, human punishing Son of no one knows that humans created To find find a purpose in life To feel holy, pure, gratified To finally reach a standard of perfection that they'll never reach until they accept themselves completely And stop persecuting other people who do Or are trying to And can't Because it's an endless Abusive Self-absorbing Exhausting process Cycle That never Fucking ends I don't know who the fuck I am So fuck you Fuck your god And shut the Fuck up!

blurry 01:37
She's lost all stimulation from music Writing And people I don't know what's left to do, honestly Her words are becoming more and more sporadic She's distancing herself from herself Her identify is very <<blurry>> right now "Do we even know she's a she?" It's clearly an issue she's - it's? He's? Tackling. And I'd hate to just put a stamp on a file, rule a diagnosis, and prescribe some meds but there's nothing we can do. She's in limbo It's only so long before she exits and enters it again She can't feel anything She's literally nothing at this point Nothing A klusterfuk

Collecting bodies Got a new blank page Take the bodies from the grave Cause I don't want them to go Riding in a porche, tell your girl it's time to go Before she drops from 30 feet and leaves the blood all in the snow Woah; never knew I'd be so brutal Playing pranks on others, just to get them to be truthful Break into the stall, cause I only want the scare But I only use the public rooms when no body is in there It's time to end this off, 1 hour till I peak 2 people have died; 1 one of which just in their sleep Entrance to the underworld, Osiris at my feet I killed the chef again because he can't make what I eat (gluten free) Business or pleasure, both could be the one Cause some people like it when you dress up like a nun I know your ears are sensitive, that's why I shoot the gun To make sure you never wake up; and you never see the sun . . Collecting bodies Got a half blank page And I can slay an actor cause the world is a stage Body filled with rage, no productive way to stop Priests so ready, they're just staring at the clock So cold, makes it hard to think But I like the winter, makes it easier to drink Hair over my face, a damn abomination If I'm this mad, then I walk with constipation Going to the grammies, bash my head in with the trophy Come right back to life because everybody nosey Cutting off some legs cause they're getting too cozy Taking all the star roles like Angelina Jolie The groceries, bring them in the house Take the snacks out, put them all into my mouth If I don't move, I won't bleed down south It's that time of the month, so I'm scary like a clown

credits

released September 15, 2016

Ogbonna, Smith, Hawks, Levy, and many many other educators; Mora, Rivera, and many many other motivations; my label mate Sour; too many idols and artists to list; my buggy laptop for working with me for the last few months as I wrapped up this project; and everyone else who's been with me, even when I wasn't present.

Thank you, too, listener.
