lyrics

I'm so underground
I'm on the other side.
I don't promote these tracks at all.
Maybe just to hide.
Maybe just to hide them.
But posting constantly on
social media's exhausting.
I just wanna eat the cake,
I don't need the frosting.
I'm so underground
I make records only for my dog.
That weigh in my head
then the pressures fully gone.
My equipment's held together
by a piece of duct tape.
If I ever made some money
I'd upgrade it one day.
I record upside down,
with a mic that's dipped in milk.
And I'm all my own features,
the position's since been filled.
I'm so fucking underground
I just record in basements.
The dog barks and I leave it in.
She's singin my praises.

I'm so unknown,
no one listens to my songs.
I'm so unknown,
no one ever sings along.
I'm so unknown,
all the people got it wrong.
I'm so unknown,
they won't miss me
when I'm gone.

My merch is vials of blood,
most of it mine.
Most of the time
get fired from jobs
sellin mixtapes for the low
on the side.
My interface is just an old
leather shoe.
I only wear T-shirts
from other rappers
who quit rapping too.
This afternoon my influences
are names I can't pronounce.
Tell me your mainstream saviors
so I know who to denounce.
I've been to more rap shows
then funerals or weddings.
I'm so underground
my whole fucking life is depressing.

(Chorus)

This isn't what I wanted
but I'm here now.
And everyone looks like surgeons.
So it's a weird crowd.
I don't carry a phone,
just a pen and notebook.
I'm a sensitive artist,
defending all my slow hooks.
My pop filter is a hanger
and some pantyhose.
Confessing my flaws
to strangers,
I'm just so damn exposed.

(Chorus)

My record's only on platforms
that don't exist yet.
No matter how bad the show gets
I'll say, "Hey, sick set."
My mom's my biggest fan
and my partner's the second.
If you're insecure
the art will start to reflect it.
My favorite acts quit music
or they haven't started yet.
All anyone wants is
to be part of the argument.
At the heart of it,
we want you to see the vision.
But then we act like we don't give a fuck
when no one listens.

(Chorus)

They won't miss me when I"m gone.

"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
