I didn't come here to fight
I think that you know it too
I’m just trying to have a good flight
And I wanted to sit next to you
You gave me two choices
Puppy chump or a prick so aloof
Oh when did things get like this
Let's cut it loose
I’m sorry that I let you down
Well I hope you make it home tonight
Cus I don’t know what’s happening
That must have been some fight
I’m not trying to
Qualify the end
Well Kriss Kross they made you Jump
And House of Pain made you jump around
That’s all good but
I got a king-sized lump all up in my throat right about now
And I know that I let you down
Well I hope you make it home tonight
Cus I don’t know what’s happening
That must have been some fight
Were you trying to
Qualify the end
I know you hate it most when I
Want to know what’s happening
I’m ok yeah I’m fine
I’m not trying to
Qualify the end
Qualify the end
You know I didn't mean to piss you off at all but
Misunderstandings abound
And I'm just hoping that I can
Quality the end
I can keep up with the clean up
Because I don't wanna let you down
Let you down

I had an awesome shower
Then I looked down on the ground
And saw that several hair follicles
Had fallen from my crown
The sight was quite concerning to me
So I looked around
Searching for reflective surfaces
But none were to be found
So I called upon my neighbors
To see if they could see
Knocked upon their door and asked
If they would look at me
They said that I looked fine
But I wondered was it lies
Because it seemed to me
That I saw something more up in their eyes
I stopped a couple guys on the street
Asked if they saw anything
That seemed out of place
Perhaps a flaw
They both said
Nah brah in fact you got the juice
I was at your show the other day and I got loose
Aw shucks really
Well that tickled me silly
I shook his hand
He smiled at me
I saw a crooked tooth
Something in the imperfection
That was pleasing to my eye
Went on my way
Another day
Another reason to be high
The trees up in the sky
Slightly swaying in the breeze had caught my eye
I slowed my speed
No longer need to wonder why
Of course it wouldn't last
Pretty soon I would forget
But I wrote this to remember
And it hasn't happened yet
Because I'm a rapping vet
DIY mantra maker
Stay in LA like a Laker
But sometimes I have to take a break
And hoof it back to the heartland HQ
And to the universe I'd like to say thank you
So it went everyday
Waking up feeling lame
It was like during the night
Someone had reset my game
Took the marker from my book
And I didn't know the page
I kept reading the same chapter
There was laughter there was rage
I was told to act my age
But what was that
If every time I took a nap
I was caught in a time trap
I had to find a way
To make revelations stay
Because they kept getting swept away
So I put them in a rhyme rap
My drafts are always rough and never final
Our farms take fresh ingredients
Cold press them into vinyl
Not a richie like Lionel
But the words that I combine will
Fuse together in your mind
Like vertebrae up in your spinal column
I am Golem being present is my precious
We're all doing it wrong
With nose longer than Ganesh's
Nobody's on the guest list
We are all paying full price
So why should I not commit
Know what I'm saying
Roll dice

Many an hour
Many a day
I spent getting to know you
I know you already
TV in the daytime
Breakfast in the night
Why don't we do this for always
It's like I'm finally doing something right
I got the satellite for the ride
But I still couldn't calm my nerves
They all want something for nothing
I think that nothing's what they deserve
Why I do it I can only guess
It comes and goes to me like waves
I'd rather take you out to Famous Dave's
You can even have my cornbread
Unless you want to stay home instead
Oh K
I wish you were awake
There are only so many hours left
Until we gotta go
Oh K
I wish you were awake
There are only so many hours left
Until we gotta go
You know I may have lost the thread
But now I found it once again
It didn't take much to remember
I just wanted to be your friend
So many years we were taking it easy
And I just wanted you to know
I never once took you for granted
And I always loved your show
We took the satellite for the ride
And there were times that it calmed my nerves
I know we all want something for nothing
I got something that they deserve
I tried to open up a little less
But the pressure got too intense
Straight busted the door wide open
And now the whole world is in my chest
And I'm wishing you all the best
Oh K
I wish you were awake
There are only so many hours left
Until we gotta go
Oh K
I wish you were awake
There are only so many hours left
Until I gotta go away
Gotta go away
Gotta go away
Gotta go away
Gotta go away
Gotta go away
Gotta go away
Gotta go away
Gotta go away
Gotta go away
Gotta go away
Gotta go away

I'm an easy target
I'm not hiding away
When I see you out
Then you've got nothing to say
But when you're on the internet
You start firing away
Because I'm an easy target
And I like it that way
You're a fucking weasel
Self righteous and snide
When I ask you what the fuck
You never reply
Cus you're too busy hiding
Behind passive aggressive jokes
I gave you the benefit of doubt
So I let it go
Now you're showing up again
In my Facebook feed
When I'm excited about my life
You make a sad face emoji
Saw you at a party and Ih tried to be friendly
But you're so fucking cool you wanna be my enemy
What kind of person does that
To another person
When you make fun of someone for fucking trying
That is the most evil thing
A human being can ever fucking
You make fun of someone for fucking trying
To raise up out of the dust
Yo that's fucked up
Eventually you'll light their fucking fuse
It took me a couple years to get over the fear and see if all my fans and friends would like to buy my art
Because the work I'm doing every day is breaking my back and breaking my heart
I cringed when I posted the link to my crowdfunding Campaign
You took the time to yell at me
You wanted me to feel some shame
You know I did
Yeah I was hurt I couldn't understand
How you just couldn't move along you had to make fun of my band
You fucking hipster douchebag Dick I can't believe I never said a single thing I let you swing on me my ego is fucking dead

Coolzey Fairfield, Iowa
Golden era hip-hop roots planted in black Iowa dirt are the foundation. Growth tempered by alternative era rock influence. This along with a love for the juxtaposition of the dark, horrific nature of life paired with a slapstick and comedic view of the world allow for a wide, unpredictable arsenal ranging from soul-spilling indie bedroom rock to wise-cracking battle rap and on to radio pop. ... more
