Tell me more tummy time you’re the bully in the backyard/ Begging for a smack back, act hard, act right/ What they act like? Wanna war-up worn down warlord?/ Whatchu want fucko?/ Mini Macro Meg Micro huh?/ Sicko psycho Mike flow nitro, punk/ Bett-o Fight-o! Benefit from a finer form designer line for a dinosaur/ Fiber for a category and a story bout the motor mouth/ Sucka whatchu been up to?/ Full of that pitter-pat, pull it back, g.et u. n.ow/ Peel a cap, skin a cat, sick em pup/ Stick em chump/ Chunk, throw a left stump/ Pump up the Reeboks/ Pump! Pump!/ Stomach pump like detox/ Get em up! Put em down/ Do the count, no dumb luck dum-dum ummm…
Bring the beat back B/ Beatchefs with the heat track, Whoa!/ Doomtree like a mothafucka!/ We don’t need that, We don’t want that/ No way Uh-uh!/ Fuck your feedback, put your feet up/ We The Crew now, put the foot down/ For the hell of it, send em to the elements/ We the elephant in the development/ Hella bent/ It’s a tele-event broadcast thru a syndicate, umm!
Cogs and Flywheels/ Certified time killer, lock the grind in/ I win, time’s up/ Rockets plus four wheels, fortified hydrilla/ Pocket lining/ Dive in, dime up
Cogs + Flywheels/ The Watchmaker, The Arch Rival, The Faux Deity, The Pro-Villain Anti-Hero/ No provisions needed/ Slow building a slow burner/ No feelings, just cold verdicts/ So willing to start burning, asserted ourselves earners/ Head down, chin up and keep your choppers shining/ Stories are whoppers/ Coppers and Robbers are waning/ Not for the faint, for the flame, or for the hearts fading/ Fang forever, your figments are fragments of what’s remaining/ I gotta gotta gotdamn problem/ And see… see, it ain’t really a problem/ Problem is, I’m probably too proper to talk about it/ About it, About it? I’m bout it, bout it/ Props to me/ It’s possible I’m popping peace/ I’m pocketing the proof reads (poof!) then gone like… Peace!/ I’m proper, I should call me property/ Honestly, you never pwned me/ Just leased my product unproperly
Bring the beat back B/ Beatchefs with the heat track, Whoa!/ Doomtree like a mothafucka!/ We don’t need that, We don’t want that/ No way Uh-uh!/ Fuck your feedback, put your feet up/ We The Crew now, put the foot down/ For the hell of it, send em to the elements/ We the elephant in the development/ Hella bent/ It’s a tele-event broadcast thru a syndicate, umm!

Tell me more tummy time you’re the bully in the backyard/ Begging for a smack back, act hard, act right/ What they act like? Wanna war-up worn down warlord?/ Whatchu want fuckooooooo?/ Tell it all, teleport to the top of the metal on the metal/ Blacker than the kettle mero-mero Two Zero Zero check 1, 2 help me out super-hero holding on to the mechanism/ Tone it down, hold me down like the grandfather pendulum/ Peddle on the on beat/ I’ma take the off-road/ Rubble to the concrete/ Rebel to the unknown/ Grinding like a Flywheel/ Put it to the Cog teeth/ Never shake the time off/ Grinding like a mothafucka, does it really matter?/ What the fuck is swagger, when a rapper can’t be better than his predecessor?/ Better than the pressure/ Fresher for the 0-10, okayyy?

We keep it moving/ Like the Cog teeth winding/ Like the Flywheels grinding/ Like the Clock keeps time!

Fuck yeah man lets fucking GO!!!
absolutely smashing album I love P.O.S i love Astronautalis but this album is more than the sum of that, it made me rething like genre and how i think abt music. This album has everything i love about rap AND punk, it's rough and agressive and tender and nostalgic and sincere and cynical and makes me Feel Things Niki
Sharp commentary, big hooks, and stunning melodies make the Minneapolis rapper, poet, and songwriter's latest solo LP a triumph. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 8, 2023
