Rick Chyme vs Spine Readers
lyrics
You can call me Glorious Beard, Rick, or Water
I'm a mitten transplanted redwood and I’m on a
marathon mission
admission I've been running
had a premonition that this doesn't mean nothing

You’re supporting if your incus is listening
Ears hear whether you’re tuned in or drifting
Twisted with the mystics
the misfit’s obsessed with this
This fever dream screamin like
“Psst, let’s jet to Brisbane”
Hole up in hotel and record until out of order, or war someone trying to ore us over the border
Floor em with the decorum
perform before and gore ‘em
non violent debilitation, let’s hit the forum
In competition with not another but me for sure I’m
climbing rungs laughing
A master of being normal
Horrible out of order
This world I’m outta mortar
I try to mask my cries
in patterns but Pat I warned ya
You can’t hide and write from a place of true vulnerability
this is the first time that someone hears your abilities
Surely what they really see is you
depending on what you choose to show
Precedent gets set every flow chosen

Oh so I'm supposed to go back to these memories
expose em just so they’ll give their scratch to me
such a catastrophe
Suck it up Patrick, please
You’re draping in privilege
you dumb m**********er
you have to see it.

Woke humans!
It's interesting to think about how many heard that and immediately thought that's for me.
Broke humans!
It's devastating to think about how many heard that and immediately thought that's for me

All you're complaining you’re saying that like you have to be
Ma'am if you only knew the half you’d see
some conversations trigger aggression
I’m Master P
Masterfully
I make em say
UHHH I don't wanna be here right now
Take a breath and stay present
I’m presently in the town
Exhilarated and debilitated by crowds
sdworc yb detatilibed dna detaralihxe
but I wouldn't want to be nearly any other place
So wove in this ill dichotomy
I’d never dare replace
No growth common sans
your investment with intention
separate from time
find somewhere in suspension
tension and it’s henchmen
bench ‘em
tie em up with extension
Overtime engine revving
Did I mention that I’m new in town?
Creating music’s what I do
let’s get to doing now.

Soundscape great from those who read spines
if I’m late, wait, supposed to be in time
I figured this is my introduction and so I’m
trying to give you each a quick tour of my whole mind
I believe in many of you and we've never met
Whatever you've been putting off, might as well get to it,
I lost the chorus
has anyone seen the chorus?
If we ever tour
the GPS I need to drive for sure

It’s fully my pleasure to be here with a winter isn’t winter, Michigan kids, we fear
frostbite at the bus stop
around here if it snows 2 inches things slow then just stop
And drivers aren’t pros in ice
I help four was almost run over twice
I think now before pulling over with aid
but over all people have been truly amazing

Hello, my name is Patrick, I’m
not sure if I shake hands anymore
but I'm glad we were here together today.
Memories burn my brain’s deep core.
Hello, my name is Patrick, I’m
not sure if I shake hands anymore but I'm glad we were here together today…
