I just slept in my car in a parking lot
im nodding off on the drive, and decided to stop
to down coffee, like a whole pot
on a sleep run catchin' applause with no calm
eat off a napkin I kept in a bag
locks broke
get car jacked if i relax
shits weird
i been dizzy just sitting around
but ill be at it till dirts covering every cloud
getting colder im told i shoulda been packin' a heavier fit
sittin' in the cold i know I'll get sick
it was fine when i start the day off
then I tried to buy a jacket and got lost
I have fun and rap
and get travel crazed
I'm half kerouac
with no catholic phase
brought a cap I lost like several cities over
thank fake god for a chill promoter
I'm on a sleep run
at a gas pump
with my life in the back and the bass thumps
on a sleep run
all small bills
havent slept in a week
imma go for the kill
I'm on a sleep run
at a gas pump
with my life in the back and a small gun
on a sleep run
all small bills
havent slept in a week
imma go for the kill
a kind of adventure its hard to relate
its just you in a different space
barely keeping the pace
with no cash
this shit can get strange
if my phone dies
imma escape, im always
feelin awkward as fuck
and im pressin my luck
husslin'll make you feel like a chump
I guess thats its good for the soul
unless its been sold
but im broke so its do or die, ill try both
in another universe im a botanist
rockin' a college fund
and less sonerous
here im broke
so honor aint a part of this
ill break your car window out for a dollar-ish
but in the moment im glad to be where i am
its honestly nice to meet you
hope that we meet again
this thing is lonely as hell, but oh well
in an hour i'll be callin my wife from hotels
mind changer. this is the Sole record ive been waiting for. everything on point. style honed. music open and on lease. best Sole album for me. love it. GalacticSON
Originally bought the CD years ago, but streaming it while riding through Northeast OH seemed like the appropriate way to listen to the album at high volume. Peace and respect to the entire BeatRock Fam. AA
This wonderful album hit me hard in 2003. Boards of Canada / Autechre were on the pure exploratory electronic side of music. Sole with seling live water came unexpectedly with a noisier and more electronic variant at that time, which was understood as hip hop. Very well aged, still valid and no favorite to choose. Solid!
Thanks for the uplifting Rmxs! nikarabot
