about

Leadoff track for the "Synchronicity" EP coming later this year. Dedicated to my dearly departed friends and fellow artists, Eddie Martinez and Willis A. Day Jr. 1<3

Shoutout to my sister for noticing and pointing out to me in January 2021 that it was the 21st year of the 21st Century, which became a writing prompt for the first draft of this (which can still be heard on my ig from back then if you're into that kinda thing)

lyrics

LYRICS:

(scratches) “call me E cause I equal MC squared”

. . .

in the 23rd year of the 21st Century

May I be a catch 22, regularly exemplary

May I be friendlier with my worst enemy

And learn to treat every word preferentially


And don’t forget to breathe

Less selective perception more extra sensory

Momentum less entropy

Never let petty jerks empty your energy


Yo Kite, art is it! Let’s see your expertise

Right on target, you bet for sure yes indeed

Rhymes carved out of a 2-sided pie chart

Lighthearted, my head is of a heavier density


Call me MC Escher Skesh

I work a pen multidimensionally, just one of my specialties

Plus a touch of unconventional imagery

I drop avalanches of tarantulas torrentially


Take it one step at a time, we’re no centipedes

Let seeds flourish, protect your nectarines

I’m not a player coach commentator or referee

Don't fit in categories altogether separately


Don’t need to get recognition tremendously

Don’t even need to be a footnote in parentheses

Cause unlike Bender I don’t worry whether people remember me

Some things just occur inevitably

. . .

(scratches)

. . .

Higher self defense attorney when I enter pleas

Examine the bar again, not on the bench or in juries

Let the record reflect I represent effervescently

Plenty of further questions like contestants on Jeopardy


Speak in double meanings, serve sentences concurrently

No need to make it a case federally

Breathe life into the mic, won’t catch me murdering any beat

Can’t give it arrest the MPC is my accessory

And you can...

. . .

(scratches)

. . .

Life is magical for those who imagine so

The word “supernatural” actually means

"Natural in extremity"


Too much entertainment will numb you like dentistry

I’d rather return to center and observe synchronicity

While most folks are busy checking their screen perpetually

I look out for number 1, when it’s next to 3


Forget catchy songs, I want em to set me free

Seems I’ve been on the incorrect trajectory

Cause I’ve held back tracks second guessing endlessly

And all it does is make em take forever to get released


Don’t have to be perfect to encourage integrity

Sometimes doing a little better means everything

If you try at all you’ll make some progress at least

Best believe effort beats lethargy


Strike a balance between assertiveness vs. empathy

Illness starts with I, wellness requires assembly

Yet it’s not selfish to prioritize your own fire inside,

In fact you better be


Cause if you lose that spark it might make it too dark

For the people close to you searching for kindling

Loving yourself with a burning intensity

Increases how much you can love others identically


We tend to project how we feel about ourselves

Guess what it means when you look down on people judgmentally

Yet with self just like someone else, love isn’t always done tenderly

Gotta give and take tough love when in need

And you can!

. . .

(scratches)

. . .

Or, if you're not into brevity

I'm also known as Kite 77 and a half plus a 20% increase

If you got the wrong number, check the directory

I reckon I'll keep wrecking it till I exit existentially


. . .


Sending this out to Eddie and to Willis

I love you brothers.

I miss you.

My heart is broken irreparably

You will forever be etched in my memory

24/7 from March to February

May you rest in peace
