When you're young you bear fruit
Fresh nectarines which is
People don't think about a lot
Like nectarines are like a fruit
But like no one eats them
But like they're so good
Yeah, I've never eaten a nectarine
Ahhhh

Nectarine Peels
Make me wanna reveal
All the terrible things about you
Oh oh
Nectarine peels
Make me want something real
I mean seriously you're a
Peach pea pea pea peach
You and me angel
We're way more like mangoes
Everyone knows who we are
Lesser known fruits they come
And they go
They grow but they know
They'll never be apples
Or bananas or oranges or
tangerines or watermelons or
any of the other already
well-established fruits
that don't rely on
You don't peel them, idiots
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
Nectarines are forever seen
As the in between
And all the things, and all the
Energy that it brings
Is hella different from behind the scenes
'Cause I know the true you,
and how you do do, that's just poo poo
'Cause all the smiles we see ain't the usual
But where you wanna go is what moves you
So you just play the role, that's crazy
'Cause I had those days, you know?
That's what made me cold
Now I'm unthawed
I could out you, have you looking dumb dawg
Or just run dawg
But I won't, too sad to leave
'Cause all this fakeness doesn't have to be
An artificialness attached to me
is strong enough to cause a casualty,
it's really sad to see
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
Oh shit, I fucked up. Shit.

Goat cheese running through my big vein

I live by two words: get change
‘Cause getting the bag could really shift things
I got my haters staring at me in disdain
I never let ‘em roam around my domain
They can’t stop me from getting to the dough, mane
Something real I have to let ‘em know
I’m before all of y’all but I’m after cheddar though

Put that in your gum when you begin to chew

While I hold you down like I baptized ya,
Yellow I see inside your eyes,
You radiate the perfect vibe,
How can I not reciprocate,
The feeling that you give me,
Wanna blow til I’m empty,
Hard times got us, in deep,
So leave the drugs at home don’t tempt me,
Ya friends here waiting,
To see how far we take it,
I mean I ain’t really made plans on it ,
But if you tryna move like a boss baby

And that’s on me on me,
Don’t make a brother go OD
It’s time to roll
When we go purple, yellow, green and gold
I been through all of these colors I should know

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.

I’m wondering what the hell we fucking with
Five word answer, “a whole bunch of shit”
But lately, lately, I been on some other shit
SaxKixAve got something they wanna come and get
That shit slap the only answer we coming with
Low IQ you only come with the dumbest shit
“I can’t do”, a phrase I ain’t fucking with
Kathmandu I swear pussy be running shit
So when I see a woman I’m looking at Earth
I’m looking at creation, I’m looking at birth
They always on the grind, I’m looking at work
So if you disrespect, fool, I’m looking at jerk
My city made me tough it’ll eat you like jerk
If you don’t make a track that’ll make ‘em all twerk
No matter your accomplishments you’ll only be a twerp
But if you ever leave they’ll be tugging on your shirt
It’s UnderdogCentral creative at best
I’m always on the move dawg I’m never at rest
And what I got’s hard like I never had sex
My house is like a church, I’ve been so blessed
Rapper for a living, I’ve been so stressed
But something always happens ‘cause I’m
Perfect with the rapping and I’m always bout that
Action when I’m coming from the chest
Biscuits from scratch, our recipe’s the best
What’s up

For the Kids
00:26
|

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.

Albert Interlude Redux

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?
My glorious man bun
Grammy-nominated but I didn’t get a statue
Wear my Fanny pack out in Europe like a satchel
Actual, truth is Billie’s real good
Everybody here would lose to Billie if they could

Hashbrowns

It’s the morning time simply
You need a treat that’s nice brown and crispy, yeah
Even if you’re feeling tired
You take the hashbrowns put it in the air fryer
Yes, you know you gone kill it
You bypass the skillet, cook it for five minutes
You take it out put in on the plate
And the food you eat will be great
Hashbrowns hashbrowns
The recipe’s getting passed down
Hashbrowns hashbrowns
The recipe’s getting passed down
Like mom would make, they look nice
Sprinkle salt and pepper to add spice
It’s all you need, it’s the coke to your whiskey
But get the ketchup only if you’re feeling frisky
Anger management ‘cause they need to cool down
Otherwise they’ll take all the skin out your mouth
Take a bite taste buds take a flight
To new flavor territory for a cheap price
Hashbrowns hashbrowns
The recipe’s getting passed down
Hashbrowns hashbrowns
The recipe’s getting passed down
Took the plunge, I went hash-to-mouth
It was pretty good, man, not what I expected,
It was - no aftertaste or anything, so
Now I’m satisfied, or maybe satisfried
Don’t wanna advertise or spread any lies
When life’s got me down
I need a little spark
Just disregard the whole cholesterol part
I eat ‘em all day, I eat ‘em all night
Hashbrowns you the love of my life uh
Hashbrowns hashbrowns
The recipe’s getting passed down
Hashbrowns hashbrowns
The recipe’s getting passed down
Hashbrowns hashbrowns
The recipe’s getting passed down
Hashbrowns hashbrowns

Away From You (Too)
03:31
|
|||
I just miss the party,
the party where we all move around
and enjoy each other and hug each other and say,
"Hey, baby! I miss you, I just wanna be around you!"
So you know we're gonna groove,
we're gonna groove, groove, groove,
'cause guess what?
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
I just wanna get through the night
I got too many different thoughts racing through my mind
Hmmm
And through all the things I think I know
Yeah yeah
You're really the only one that's worth all my time
I think I know why.
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 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
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
I don't wanna be away from you
I don't wanna be away from you
I don't wanna be away from you
I don't wanna be away from you you you you
I don't wanna be away from you
I don't wanna be away from you
I don't wanna be away from you
I don't wanna be away from you you you you
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
I don't wanna be away from you
Oh
I don't wanna be away from you
Oh oh

The Sum of All Peels
02:44
|

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
