Liner Notes

#lofi #capo #nylonstrings #hiphop woke up in a weird mood...i think i slept. made this quick lil' beat this morning then made breakfast for myself and my dogs. ate that watched some star trek and wrote the lyrics then came up and surprisingly one-taked the verses. always feels nice to just let the beat play and get it all. it's like playing tetris. funny how making music can turn a bad mood into something constructive.

Lyrics

Light a blunt by myself in a stairway Get my head right it’s another bad hair day Gotta hold on think I’m goin insane Light a blunt by myself in a stairway

Close my eyes one at a time Just try and hold the line Fold space and pass time When the toothpicks snap Shoot awake like “I’m fine” Kickin reason in a rhyme Rolling quarters outta dimes Blowing smoke rings while my nose bleeds shit is so bleak I’m so geeked soe the seed it’s so peak go deep will you hide or go seek stay awake or go to sleep aberrant anomaly average quantity of high quality get lifted symbolically where chemistry mix with biology great schism deductive syllogism it’s elementary it’s elemental large language it’s modeled after me excuse me while I blaspheme rapidly last seen last week this ghastly gas leak can get nothing passed me pass the hashish

Light a blunt by myself in a stairway Get my head right it’s another bad hair day Gotta hold on think I’m goin insane Light a blunt by myself in a stairway

Rope-a-dope it’s a load of cope blade and cloak pain and hope the flame needs stoked prod and poke gods and ghosts and boast the most puff and pass the holy smoke hit the lode stone shift a whole tone all by my lonesome in this twilight zone highlight the high life reading glasses help with the hindsight fine lines sunshine and night time coffee in my cup kush in the crossfade cushion the blow with hemlock and nightshade the pinnacle deadlocked at my grave can’t stop the migraine or maintain the same thing how you play the blame game single player campaign yelling at a mirror at the edge of the mainframe insane is just another mainstay on the main stage of these streets of rage is all I’m sayin

Light a blunt by myself in a stairway Get my head right it’s another bad hair day Gotta hold on think I’m goin insane Light a blunt by myself in a stairway

I realize while listening to this song that I find it really challenging to word what makes me enjoy it so much. I guess that's because I come from a totally different world, and thus simply don't have the keys to approach this kind of thing analytically. All I know is, I'm in awe, stupidly hooked on your vocal delivery, enthused about your eloquence -- which manifests not just in the words, but in the song as a whole, from the groove to the tasty arrangements that support your amazing vocals. Awesome.

I mean, I just can't sit still. I'm trying. Really, I am. This slow burn of a groove hits perfectly. Loving those rhymes and they Do Not Stop!

Just keep your hair short :-) classic word play - the master commeth. this would be on my playlist for certain . top class mate

@nahlej381 12h

Lmao I’ll keep it in mind

@mannon 13h

BRUH THE WORDPLAY IS INSAAANE. It's such a vibe to hear one-take rapping, it really makes the words hit harder for me if that makes any sense?? Anyway, dope track man!

@nahlej381 12h

Thanks so much dude! We gonna get a collab in this month?

@spazsquatch 13h

GD! When did your flow get this tight? Great wordplay. I want to call out my favorite bit, but I just can't decide.

@bxphane 14h

Such a catchy chorus! Solid flow and with instrumental! 10/10!

@quoththellama 14h

Currently jamming to this at the laundromat. This one could also be on a THPS soundtrack. I am not worthy 🙌

@deathboy 15h

ahhhh, you amazing motherfucker. I was going to come over here being all piss-take but this is just superdelicious. you damn filthmerchant.

top tier shit, my brother. Wanna get blazed with you.

@nahlej381 11h

Thanks you lovely man! Although if you’re looking for piss to take I e got piss to give…loads of it 🤷🏻‍♂️

@dragondreams 17h

This is fantastic! Got me tapping along to it, and marvelling at your delivery and wordplay. I love it!

@nahlej381 11h

You’re far too kind. I played 2 chords your music is genuinely beautiful

@thegoldenhelmet 17h

I always heared this type music and it never made sense. I think this the first time I saw a lyric written down and can see there is a real poetry and a order that I missed. I dont pretend I know the slang but it is exciting to hear it and hear it delivered so fast and expert. You always need a good chorus and you got a great one.

@nahlej381 11h

I truly appreciate that. That’s a very meaningful thing you said to me lol

@eargoggle 18h

Oh man this is great, I love all those internal rhymes on that nose bleeds, shit is so weak, I'm so geeked, etc....so great! I love all of it, chorus is catchy.

@nahlej381 17h

Thanks much brotendo

@froggymagee 18h

Your flow and delivery are both phenomenal, really enjoying all of your songs so far! The bong sound during the second verse is fire, and the chorus is so catchy!

@nahlej381 18h

Really appreciate the kindness! It’s much appreciated

@billwhite51 18h

i like the way you define parts by changing up the beats, especially when you come out of the chorus with almost nothing backing the beginning of the next verse, and then build and build until the chorus blasts out again. i dont know how you can handle all those interior rhythms without slipping on one of them, but you never mess up.

@nahlej381 18h

Thanks much! I probably couldn’t do it the same way twice I just write in paragraphs and spit out as much as I can until it’s time for the hook then cut the rest.
