Whew, man SaxKixAve finally made it to the Big Apple. Yeah man. That’s a nice shirt. Is that Banana Republic? I think! It was a wedding present. I don’t really like parties But you cantaloupe after just a couple dates Elder Berry almost officiated, can you believe that? Really, that dude? Isn’t he like a “god hates figs” kind of preacher? Me and the missus didn’t have to grapple with that one. It’s like honeydew we, honey don’t we…it’s like no, no! I….this is an old ass elevator…..I got nothing for I. That’s ok, it doesn’t mean jackfruit. Kiwi wrap this up now? There’s like 15 more letters though. Long elevator ride. Lemon find out we’re late for our meeting. Zucchini.

Hey kids! Do you like music that takes the very real socio-economic plight of marginalized people and packages it into a violent pornography for consumption by soccer moms? Yeah! Do you like giving up your privacy to Big Tech so you can be sold and sold to for the vanishingly rare chance of becoming TikTok famous? Do you like two and half minute long flute solos? Ok! Yeah! Oh wait I’m sorry.

Going Allenback to the future this time And Alfred didn’t even have to help with this rhyme Every single word that I say is mine You know that I’m a vegan so my ribs aren’t prime Toot toot toot I know you see me coming Flute flute flute send the band nerds running Working for the cheddar but I don’t eat cheese My shorts remain short, do you see these knees? She hit my Samsung, calling me handsome, slaughtering every beat like son of Sam, son Mmmbop like Hanson My hair’s like Samson The source of all my power?

I never been away this long and I  know you're everything I want I don't think that I should run away Take my heart and hold on tight  I don't wanna be away from you Oh I don't wanna be away from you  Oh oh  I don't wanna be away from you  Oh  I don't wanna be away from you  Oh Oh We go together like P, B, and J So baby girl you should come and see me today You been away so I made this song It's only been an hour but that's way too long I can see the future when I look in your eyes We control this enterprise  Some girls want so they will try And they get pushed to the side like fries;  they'll never catch up This is us, being with you is a must It's official, this is us And for haters there's fisticuffs  I see you in the perfect view, match that I got a lotta work to do, that's facts  I'm nowhere near for certain, boo, scratch that I'm tryna leave the earth with you, what's up?

I woke up with 50 new followers That’s 50 new people that wanna follow us Failure has never been an option, kid And that’s why we gotta live the opposite, yeah And I’m always on go There’s an image that I’m selling to them And it’s all sold, so, the price is getting paid No doubt, so it’s a double meaning when I say It’s sold out, yeah Ok we winning over here Team all happy we grinning over here Became Jack LaLanne when they handed me the fruits But now I’m Tupac cause they drinking that juice I’m fiending for the trophies, awards, That validation has got me going hard, lawd And with all the many things in life We will win by any means Look at him, I don’t see much when I look at him He don’t even know that he look bad All of this can’t be took back, wait Take a look at this mess you made Being this fake in a stressful state You may be at a successful pace But you gotta go to sleep with a chest Full of hate What’s even the reason? Nobody really believes it It’s sad that it’s even this easy For you to be false and greasy Change your vibe or you’re gonna regret It’ll fall apart and I can promise that And when you lose it all you won’t find it back And the downfall’ll be hard to grasp like Maybe I’m wrong Maybe he’s right Maybe this guy sleeps fine at night I guess I don’t really know shit Even though his shit is shit He’s turning out fine Look at that turd shine Damn man I hate being mad fake Just trying to get that cheese inside this rat race And I ain’t who I claim to be Or who I’ve turned out to be Let’s think about it But I’ve gone too far to make a stink about it I play the role and act without my soul attached But if you do look back you’ll get to wink about me I’m at the end of my rope I’ve hit the brink profoundly Nectarine peels Make me wanna reveal All the terrible things about you Oh oh Nectarine peels make me Wanna be real So if I call you I'll call you a peach Yo at the end of the beat I think it would sound better if it was Just piano
