Right off the bat When a nerd says you're uncool What the heck is that Ever since I was a young one They told me I was so weird Because being uncool Was something that they so feared Like they were trying to look out for me Said I'd better be normal or the world would have it out for me] But all it did was make me wonder How they could just conform And bury their dreams asunder Screw that I had a hate made Displayed W E I R D And started calling down the thunder You could keep your family work school and Jesus Subversity to me is like E.T. to Reese's Pieces And yeah I had that on Atari Plus I know my simile was busted And I'm not sorry Because I don't want to do what you tell me It's fishy when you front out of fear dear You smell me My guess is that you just suppressed your freak flag Because of how much he doth protest I don't want your love All I really want is to put these words somewhere Listened to you long enough Tell us that we suck Tell me why should I even care I've got nothing to prove Swimming through a sea of tasteless faces I can be whatever I want to be So just call me Zero Cool Zero Cool Zero Cool Zero Cool Zero Cool Zero Cool Zero Cool Zero Cool Zero Cool Zero Cool Zero Cool Zero Cool Zero Cool Zero Cool Loving lipids but you'd rather be insipid Tripping fitness isn't living Love the body that you're given Driven by a lust for women Isn't a valid pathway Psycopath Your entourage is old school like Piven So let's play smear the queer Pushing away everyone that you fear But I'm coming back Yeah I'm still here Rising like a phoenix from the ashes I don't want your love All I really want is to put these words somewhere Listened to you long enough Tell us that we suck Tell me why should I even care I've got nothing to prove Swimming through a sea of tasteless faces I can be whatever I want to be So just call me Zero Cool Zero Cool Zero Cool Zero Cool Zero Cool Zero Cool Zero Cool Zero Cool Zero Cool Zero Cool Zero Cool Zero Cool Zero Cool Zero Cool I don't want your love All I really want is to put these words somewhere

You know I live a life of intrigue Big fish, you wish I know I'm in my own league 20,000 under the sea What up, Sebastian Y'all crabs I'm Viagra Because I'm lasting My time is Neverending Story But I'm not a cheater, Peter Hauling in my lorry/Lorre Y'all bore me Like a worm in my tomato garden Y'all lames in flames You couldn't get my James Harden At Busch Garden With my homie from the Nerdlucks I can't hear your raft Because I never herd/heard ducks Spare me if I can't strike When you dare me to touch a Mike/mic Myers/My, yers Don't matter just let me at a butcher knife Life is but a dream sweetheart And I'm the dream master Sewing at the speed of light Yeah I know I seam/seem faster And I can't even tell if you're listening I stay posted like the mail The most interesting I'm the most interesting man in the world Holding a beer in between two girls Salt and pepper beard And the moment that you feared Is when I grab the mic And proceed to get weird I don't always wild out But when I do it's full moon Don't always play guitar But when I do it's in tune I don't always hate But when I do it's because I'm driving I don't always turn away But when I do it's because you're lying Don't always lock the door Except when I've been watching Forensic Files Don't always get high But when I do New hairstyle I don't always need a friend But when I do it's because I"m tripping I don't always use an mp3 My LP was skipping I don't always eat meat But when I do I wanna have a cow Don't tell me what to do, Bart I hang with homies that allow Me to be the most interesting G And I don't always do coke But when I do it's because it's free I don't always dance But when I do it's Paper Planes Maybe Mamma Mia Or Jump Around by House of Pain I don't always sell drugs But when I do it's marijuana bud And I don't always wrestle But when I do it's mud Don't unsheath my katana Unless I wanna draw blood Don't always use a drywall anchor Unless the hole's not on a stud I don't always make the beer run But when I do I get snacks Don't always play M.K. But when I do I pick Jax Don't always go to church But when I do it's cus of funerals And when I make a sequel I use the Roman numerals I don't always confess Unless they use a wire tap and I don't always talk mess But when I do it's because I'm rapping

House of Zero 03:00

Day to day in my life You know I stay on the grind With hot producers Find a place for my rhymes And that’s how I met Zero My partner in crime On the new collab Trading online One night on my way to Savannah Hey you live in Atlanta, right? What say we link up i.r.l. When I arrived The whole house was kind of dark When he greeted me I couldn’t ignore a harsh smell Didn’t point it out I didn’t want to be rude He said I got a new beat For you to listen to He played it It was fire so I laced it High fives then I asked Where is your pissing room? On the way to the john I saw a door cracked Weird lights were flickering So I went to peek But as soon as I Stepped to the room I felt a hand on my shoulder Yo Cool why you sneaking? It was Zero He explained that his roommate Was not to be disturbed I said sorry I was curious He said in fact You better hit the road Zach Because if we keep going late My roommate will be furious So I took a leak Gave a pound then I left Drove a few miles Then I went for my cigarettes Oh crap I forgot my backpack Turned around and called Zero Let him know I was coming back I sent a text I hit him on messenger Arrived back and knocked on the door But no answer I had to have my bag to do my shows If I didn’t have my gear Then it would’ve blown the whole tour I tried the doorknob it was unlocked Stepped in then I crept in through the dark I snagged my sack from the stu But on my way back through I saw the flickering lights and I stopped Something was compelling me To see what lied behind the door And as I approached the smell was sickening Slowly I pushed the door open And what I saw there Made my heart start quickening There was a body surrounded by candles In the middle of the floor In the center of a pentagram I hit the flashlight button on my phone And I aimed it at the face Oh my god it was him I don’t know how to tell you this but Zero’s dead That guy you been talking to online Is no longer with us Only in spirit I know you don’t want to hear it but I know you don’t want to believe me but Zero’s dead I saw it with my own eyes Body decomposing mouth open no pulse There was nobody else I’ve been collabing with his ghost

Come Get a Hug 03:22

Hey there superman Tell me just what you're afraid of Step to me and you will see that I ain't no superman Hey where you going Wait up You've been gone for so long Come get a hug Hey It's another big bad beautiful day And we down here wading through the sludge I saw you take a fall in the middle of a fray And I offered my hand but you wouldn't budge Homie what kind of grudge ju-on? Keeping that rage all bottled up inside We gotta try again Locked in Leviathan Buried up in Babylon Let's enjoy the ride I know that characteristically I tend to be a people pleaser And i know you stay pissed at me Keep me on a list and things King Nebuchadnezzar I see macro epistemological We hurt But we'll be reincarnated Through rebirth It's just something that I read On a t-shirt And when this life is over Someone yelled out Play Free Bird Hey there superman Tell me just what you're afraid of Step to me and you will see that I ain't no superman Hey where you going Wait up You've been gone for so long Come get a hug Let me take this chance to say I think about you every day Don't know why it had to be That we ended up so tragically Maybe one day we can communicate Telepathically But until then Bad blood keeps coagulating I'd hoped that we could achieve Some symbiosis We could coexist Yeah I know that I missed Mad opportunities to connect No disprespect But I been living Up in a prison of my own existentialism Let's put this water under the bridge Hey there superman Tell me just what you're afraid of Step to me and you will see that I ain't no superman Hey where you going Wait up You've been gone for so long Come get a hug

Hey what can I say We both wanted the same thing But you didn't have your own day of the week To remain king If you're so good at shapeshifting Why did you not rebrand yourself I suspect your limitations were your downfall You're a greedy hothead My legacy is not dead And It never will be There will still be quite a lot said But until you trick the Sky Father Who by the way is me dude Your time is up and now you're just Down sleeping with the seafood Perhaps if you hadn't let your little anger Get the best of you You could've kept the con on But they've sauteed the rest of you What a tangled web you've woven Made your own bed You've chosen Finally laid to rest Don't worry Your loyal followers I will ingest And I say this not in jest Just in case you were worried That your lost sheep would be left Untended after you scurried away To hide your stories in a hollow gourd They will not be ignored But will be driven toward the Lord Yours Truly Let's all say a prayer for Anansi Noticed I said for and not to And to all of his loyal followers Mr. Wednesday will take care of you Let's all say a prayer for Anansi But now please join with me we must unite For the battle of the old gods is not over Burn an offering for me so we can fight I mean who do you think I am though Seriously I applaud you Maybe if you keep at it Someday you'll be a god too I never tire of the fire you inspire by being doomy But I prefer to heed the words Of the great poet Rumi Let go of your anger It may taste sweet but it kills It's fine to stoke the fire of shadow men But to harbor it within You'll only end up like the djinn Half-men not full gods Like All-father the All-knower Dude you're just a death loa Let's all say a prayer for Anansi Noticed I said for and not to And to all of his loyal followers Mr. Wednesday will take care of you Let's all say a prayer for Anansi But now please join with me we must unite For the battle of the old gods is not over Burn an offering for me so we can fight

They all say that I'm fringe and I'm like OMG Dude I've been billed as nerd rap since 2003 Been playing shows with Mark since he was MC STD I played Yars Revenge on the Atari Skipped school to play Street Fighter Royal Rumble on pay per view After the show we'd go out in the snow and we would wrestle too Class president art club president marching band bass drum section leader Ghost hunting sticker trading sketchbook drawing avid reader Off the top man, fuck what you heard I'm so single-minded man that shit is my word I almost got locked, but that shit got deferred Then Zach, the legomaniac, said bring out your nerd Off the top man, fuck what you heard I'm so single-minded man that shit is my word I almost got locked, but that shit got deferred When the homie Coolzey said bring out your nerd Welcome everybody to the party We're so happy you could make it to our nerdy rapping hobby Not to toot my own horn but I'm seen as somewhat of an ambassador kind of a big deal im like the number 3 disaster-er Wanted to be one of the first to give proper greeting Heard this ain't your scene, but ya showed up when your needed And should you wish to stay, I'll let you in on a little secret I hope ya do - because I think your flavor yo we need it picnic at hanging rock in cold blood hidden fortress fight club punch drunk love oldboy, who’s that knocking at my door? dancer in the dark explorers band of outsiders let the right one in city of god made the secret of nimh children of men versus way of the gun they live the panic in needle park annihilation time to stop actin like I ain't a nerd make it heard in layman's terms I'm into snakes and worms, guts and gore and things that make you squirm whats on TV?, make it turn to something weird like Stranger Things my mind is fixed on science-fiction type of shit that makes me think in my basement, crazy things I've got a box of comics so... old I had it way back when I was tellin yo' momma jokes and playin Mario on systems that I still got at home stay droppin facts nobody ought'a know before I gotta go It's a party for the holy aguacate Got my toast already ready, sippin on some maté Leather from the skins Powder from the seed Nutrient rich flesh All I see is green gold Mexican cartels want control Better than drugs, avocado hit the motherload The technicals is symmetrical Slice and eat the testicle. Off the top man, fuck what you heard I'm so single-minded man that shit is my word I almost got locked, but that shit got deferred Then Zach, the legomaniac, said bring out your nerd Off the top man, fuck what you heard I'm so single-minded man that shit is my word I almost got locked, but that shit got deferred When the homie Coolzey said bring out your nerd I got them Hotwheels, I take your girl still Get out my race track now she ain't comin' back Invite her over to play with my toys You know what I'ma do; stay stuntin' with the Rolls Royce Bring out the monster trucks, I can see she's sprung What about the drop, I keep a spot for her Maybe the de Ville, ridin' round dirty I'll have her home by midnight, momma made me promise. My gameboys in one hand, I can't see the screen You fandom is weak if it's owned by Disney Samus is one hot shit trans bitch and I am different Yeah so I don't need your dick picks cause mine is bigger bitch And your looking like sonic before that shit got fixed and I'm looking like classic in this vintage thrift When I step to the Mic it's nothing but bar 20 Check the character sheet it's lil lavedy Lace my roller blades and skate inside of the game I attack with Acid Burn to terrorize your main frame a Phantom Phreak ya can’t see me as I sneak into your brain and Crash Override your system with a Razor and Blade Cereal Killer I deliver a virus to hack into some files that you’ve tried to disguise as garbage but i’m Elite, so I delete your plans and Lord Nikon and my crew will come and beat your ass Off the top man, fuck what you heard I'm so single-minded man that shit is my word I almost got locked, but that shit got deferred Then Zach, the legomaniac, said bring out your nerd Off the top man, fuck what you heard I'm so single-minded man that shit is my word I almost got locked, but that shit got deferred When the homie Coolzey said bring out your nerd Yo, I'm a jerk when it comes to my weed I'm a weirdo and a dork watchin' UFC And on that 90's hip-hop, I'm a total fuckin' dweeb, Best respect me, I'm a Trekkie - that's word to my Uncle G. Keep movies and CDs in alphabetical order, And my prized possession is a 1979 quarter? In an Uber, I'm a goober. Fortnite, I'm the shooter When I graduate college I'm getting a tricked out computer. Take the time, enjoy yourself Soon it will be over They told us we would let it go - You'll be different when you're older Take the time, enjoy yourself Soon it will be over They told us we would let it go - You'll be different when you're older

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
