(Ahhh!) Hold Em’ Up
(Ahhh!) Hold Em’ Up
Teeth Wings Hold Em’ Up
Hand Over Fist
(Ahhh!) Hold Em’ Up
(Ahhh!) Hold Em’ Up
Teeth Wings Hold Em’ Up
Hand Over Fist
So here we go again
Ice Cold ‘Sota Wind
Blow till you can’t hold it in
Hand Over Fist
And we don’t play to win
Nah, we don’t play at all
Loyal to the DOOMTREE
True to the day we fall…
Dig it -- the “Doom Degenerates”
Generate decadence
Decorative Generals
Dissolve in constant negligence
Get it — the “New Debonaires”
Delegate dissonance
Fed up citizens listen
But turn pessimists and shed a tear
Dead it — and let live
Head up and tell it straight
Never let up, run the track
Never run the race
Bet it – and set the vig’
Set up for higher stakes
Clever don’t come cold
Clever is cloaked and stone-faced
Said it – but meant it though
Pent up from head to toe
The rent’s up?
“I’ll break bread when bread’s made
And spread the dough”
Sweat it – and let it soak
Catch it and cut the throat
Seconds from mistakes
Minutes from misquotes
Whatever it takes
That’s just how it goes
This face displaced
“Peace out from this show”
Screaming:
Hand Over Fist
DOOMTREE
Let’s GO!!
(Ahhh!) Hold Em’ Up
(Ahhh!) Hold Em’ Up
Teeth Wings Hold Em’ Up
Hand Over Fist
(Ahhh!) Hold Em’ Up
(Ahhh!) Hold Em’ Up
Teeth Wings Hold Em’ Up
Hand Over Fist
So here we go again
Ice Cold ‘Sota Wind
Blow till you can’t hold it in
Hand Over Fist
And we don’t play to win
Nah, we don’t play at all
Loyal to the DOOMTREE
True to the day we fall…

It's rare for a musician, especially in hip-hop, to allow themselves to be truly vulnerable. In Children's Work Dessa achieves this and the effect is both powerful and intimate. ActuallyAlison
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

Saw the KEXP session with tracks from this one in the summer of 2012 and instantly fell in love with Doomtree. other loves come and go but this one has been on my heavy rotation thoughout the like 11 years since. It's a microcosm of what's good about Doomtree generally - a perfectly balanced feast, with a bit of everything you love in every song. Also i'd give you a different fave track any given day you ask me but here's today's Niki
