lyrics

(Chorus)
If you can hear this everything's going perfectly,
currently, nobody's trying to murder me.
If you can hear this, we did at least one thing right.
If you can hear this it raises our spirits,
even if there's interference that's how it is with lyrics.
If you can hear this, everything'll probably be fine.

(Dug)
It's either write about the typical things
or you might as well have written in invisible ink.
I do this cause I can't afford to visit a shrink,
and cause I know I'm not the only one who lives on the brink.
Like with a mailbox waiting for the saucers to come.
Or the economy or something else impossibly dumb.
If you can hear this,
I hope you know better.
But most days I don't so really no pressure.
We played shows, people showed.
That means we achieved our goals.
I don't know where else to go.
You were friendly, we weren't ready.
I know I'll probably never drive a Bentley.
But at least the seats aren't empty in the Chevy.
They say the music scene isn't what it used to be.
But that would be true, even if it improved.
So I'm not sure what that proves to me.
You bring the community,
we'll bring the tunes and lunacy.

(Chorus)

(Happy Tooth)

My life is full of garbage I haven't thrown away.
Though I may be broke today
I have a place to go and stay.
So afraid of the folks they overpay
I'm givin advice to kids like,
put down the Vicodin and learn to play the violin.
Find a pen.
This goes without saying.
If you can hear this there's always something worth saying.
Waiting, wasting, waning,
lying like we found somethin.
Smiling, driving diving, dying
not to malfunction.
Listen all ya'll its a bad mirage.
My catalog is sabotage
it's always raining cats and dogs.
And you don't have to leave,
but you can't stay here.
If you can hear this I hope you're having a great year.
Shakespeare died.
All alone in an alley,
I'm just part of the algae.
They won't write books about me.
Howling at the moon while my life corrodes.
If you can hear this,
success came a long time ago.

(Chorus)

(Jae Esquire)

Homie I'm good.
Homie I'm straight.
Homie I'm full.
Yeah I ate today.
I said, homie I'm good.
Homie I'm straight.
Homie I'm full.
Yeah I ate today.
Hey, hey,
October, fallen like no other.
All gold everything,
you a shiny muthafucka.
Got me on a new level,
beats bang in my trucka,
157's now,
I'm a jazzy muthafucka uh
Not trippin,
middle name is forgiveness.
Gold eagle round my neck,
flyin high above the pigeons.
Yah, storm find ya damaged in the yard.
Respect my name before you all take guard.
Come harder than you ever,
ever could silly.
Didn't you know that rabbit tricks are for kiddies?
Who I got with me?
Yeah the dream team,
Happy Tooth and Dug, yeah we get that cream.
Naw mean? Ay!

about

Happy Tooth Columbus, Ohio

"Both Happy Tooth and BDotJeff spoke to the idea that music can be therapeutic, and writing and recording is now less about reaching a larger audience than steadying the turmoil within. “You do start to question your own motivations, like, why am I doing this?” Happy Tooth said. “And I’ve realized that I love the art, and I have to make it because deep down it makes me feel better.” - MatterNews ... more
