[Verse: CATALYST.]

This year I've been everywhere but at peace

Open up to 23 and breathe, you've got a lot to read

And feel free to judge by the cover, it's not that deep

I keep it all where it can be seen

If private property is theft, then I'm Robinhood, collectivizing enterprises

If he's stubborn then the prophecy incentivizes

If you're stuck inside a circle I can empathize

The only real power in the world is what you rеcognize

I weaponize my pеn against the idleness of mind

Still they turn me to a factor because I ain't hit my prime yet

Time's jest, up and down when I sign checks

Dime bet that I'm flying through the blind test

You can find pests lurking in that Birkin bag

You can find regrets in the person that's the first to jab

What defines rest but the search for a learned path

Everybody's bad until the rolling paper's like unfurled flags

I'll keep it half mast for eternity

It'll go past fast if the universe has heard from me

Fried, watching Top Gun at the potluck

If you've never seen a pilot, don't mach one

If it should be the case and I'm beholden to my bars

Here's a word of advice and my token to the bard

Make all of my riddles burn and show them to the stars

Because it's all for the listener, you know who you are


[Outro]

Who are you? Who are you?!

You miserable presumptuous have no talent

You're no artist

An artist respects the solace that serves the foundation of creativity

If you really had talent go practice

Or get yourself a gig

Instead of ruining the end of the day for everybody down here

You disgrace

You are everything that's gone wrong with this world

You're a self-consumed, no talent, mediocre piece of shit

And I've earned my right to say it

I'm an NYU film school graduate

Sucker
