This time, a little rap I did in two takes (one for the main vox, one for the backing,) over a beat cobbled together from Lupe Fiasco, Yoko Kanno and Kenna. If it were something I were doing with a real backing for a real release, I might polish it more, but meh. I’ll save that for real albums.

Ultraklystron – On Game

BTW, no hooks on this one – just 64 bars of rap at 83.5 bpm. It’s already pretty dark lyrically, but I wanted to try to work in the framework of Fiasco’s “Put You On Game” in a fashion true the original. The lyrics after the cut/more!


On Game
by Karl Olson

i am the excess and material, the unsustainable
self image and ideal that is unattainable
i am the insanest fool that you all follow
i’m the lies that the world forces to you swallow
i’m the promise made to you that was actually hollow
i’m the impulse that made you sit down and wallow
in the filth that i created by guiding your hands
down deep below where you sit, down deeper than sands
i am the reason that your wife and daughter want botox
the reason that you got that enzyte don’t act shocked
i’m the supermodel that starves to death in brazil
i’m the razor that you use cut yourself with just to feel
i’m the game, i’m the streets, the bully beatin up geeks
who then turns around and sells the same victim some heat
i’m the news anchor who put his manifesto on air
who inspires copycats without a thought or a care
i’m the stolen test answers, the plagarized papers
the finnish tracker artist who you’ll steal from later
also steal from the thief, also steal from kids
then I steal your beliefs, and your will to forgive
but you’ll continue to live, and you’ll see what I did
i’m the infestion of which you would like to be rid
the contagion educating a whole nation of youth
to act stupider and ignorant with grammar so loose
i make it work every time, and I make it flow free
because i don’t really care if it’s a fake ID
the state run liquor store, the vodka energy drinks
that cost less than water – that’s a critical link
why even get a red bull when the sparks cost less
and the later might get some cute thing to undress
and PS I’m the reason that you’re so obsessed
with opposite sex past the point of rest
i tell you you’re immortal, sell you smokes and booze
i rob you blind til your dead, then sell your bones for glue
then sell that glue to your friends, so they get can high too
tell ’em to ghost ride the whip, so they can soon join you
i’m the man with high score you can’t ever beat
cause i’m the blood on your hands everytime that you eat
i’m the conspiracy that haunts you in your sleep
i’m the NHK that’s making you into NEETs
i am the lolita complex that permeates shows
asks you to sit over here, yeah you know that goes
i am the villain that always has a purpose and use
ain’t a person here whose not lookin for an excuse
i’m the do it tomorrow, i’m passing the buck
i’m the emo kid sorrow, i’m the streak of bad luck
i’m the gravity you brings you down and leaves you to drown
when you choose mess around and clown
and that choice is your own, you could choose to rise
and not rely on your lies, choose to answer the cry
made by your insides, to finally take the blame
sacrifice for a moment, and get out of the game
finally make a change, and get rid of the chain
that hangs around your neck like an energy drain
the kryponite of your spite replaced for a light
and that’s real talk friend, no I’m not being trite
but you gotta build up, if you want to feel love
have to clean out the wounds, need to finally heal up
and i’d love to heal cuts, but that’s not my role
i’m still here to drag you back down into the fold
i’m doing it for the lols, i’m the internet troll
i’m the diamonds and gold that you trade for you soul
i’m the emptiness inside, the infinite hole
That no thing can fill, cause I suck it in whole
