Prod. by @electric_cher Dialogue sampled from Elizabeth Kübler-Ross doc: To Live Until You Die. https://youtu.be/jTxOiq3V7Bw Lyrics Quit callin I can't pick up right now Sleep often I had enough right now It's all good no that that ain't right now I I - I ain't right right now Quit callin I can't pick up right now Sleep often I had enough right now It's all good no that that ain't right now I ain't right right now I'm tryna make my miserable Stay invisible To all the folks that only seen my face when it's digital Keep up appearances So they don't worry Hope no one's hearing this Don't need no jury And I hate to frustrate my few friends But I could wait to update for when I do some new thengs I'm dodgin phone calls can't be betrayed by my voice If it relays my malaise that ain't by choice I got a secret kinda sufferin I'm keep under wraps Gotta keep it out my raps. Oops. I just lapsed Ooh I brushed past. Ooh they must ask. Ooh a crushed mask. Who? Can trust that? They say hey Bobby how ya been? I just toss a softball em a softball with a whole lotta spin They say hey Bobby how ya been? I don't tell em the truth or cue a tiny violin I say I'm alright okay alright I been alright okay alright I been alright okay alright I'm alriight I been alright okay alright I been alright okay alright I been alright okay alright I'm alrighhhht I'm fucked up, shut down, ashamed, and still arrogant I looking for my old outlook- I donno where it went One-a these days I'll maybe change my ways And peel away the haze like tv ads for Claritin Till then I'm looking at my life through a dirty lens Fuck fresh air and friendship I never heard of them You care about the character you think I am But I'm the captain of this ship and its been sinkin man So ask me how I been and I don't beg for a life raft Or tell u bout the turbulence up up in my flight path (fasten seatbelt ding) I make a weird joke u reply with a nice laugh Like Ha ha ha ha ha- just like that And everything is plastic Even the truth is gymnastic It's flipping and tripping And then it's dipping and dimming And then it's different with women Because of facts that I'm trimming My mama say I I always could talk to her My mama say I I always could talk. My mama say I I always could talk to her But Not this time not about this. I say I'm alright okay alright I been alright okay alright I been alright okay alright I'm alriight I been alright okay alright I been alright okay alright I been alright okay alright I'm alrighhhht My mama say I I always could talk to her My mama say I I always could talk to her My mama say I I always could talk to her But not this time not about this

Song by Bobby Joe. Beat produced by @ill-figure. Artwork by Lord Spew (www.Lordspew.tumblr.com). Lyrics on Genius (https://genius.com/Bobby-joe-wall-lyrics). ​ Thanks for listening to this song. I think you need to talk to your parents about Donald Trump. If he scares you, they need to understand why, so you can find common ground and fight your fear as a family. Then as a community. If you feel like me, but you don't know what to say, you can borrow some of my words: I think the way Donald Trump speaks does not inspire love, trust, reason or understanding. When I listen to him speak or I read his speeches, I think his words are chosen to make us to fear one another and doubt the value of science and diversity. Even if he never accomplishes any of the plans he's proposed, I think Trump represents a handful of corporate and political power players who have sneakily claimed more and more power away from average Americans over the last century. I think people like Trump hoard resources, then convince us our problems are caused by immigrants and poor people. The 20 richest Americans have more money than the 152 million poorest Americans. To me, that widening power imbalance is the scariest threat our country faces, not people who look or talk different from me. BJ
