I’ll welcome you to the
HOMIEST
Loneliest Rapper,
SAMPlin thelonius
Bumpin THA FUNK
Bow to my Bretheren and Abide to THE PARAGON
Monk
An insight
to a story
Of 20 something Lores
Tours through my mental allegories
And Emploring the world
to feast on my mental
MISHMASH
of midwest vintage
Spitting ESSENTIAL
born to the mixtures of gods
Indians and Paleness
All ya’ll regale this
as hip hops new unveilings
Sailing from MIDWEST
To the BEST of the WEST,
TestED and tried
only to come out 2nd best
A story of love, ladies
Parties
With 80s babies
Crazies trying to date me
Crazily loving the ladies WHO HATE ME
Play me
Bass, Snares, woodwinds, a cello
SMASHING pumpkins
dramatically mello
Ivory crisp bounce
when I jiggle the Keys
like Jello
Like a prince when I accapella
Talk of Hella
Bay area Rockafella
Beats SMASH
so FAST
They Rock a Fella
I pack a punch
Packed to CRUNCH
It’s a Fact,
I Play the Piano with a Hunch
My Music will impale ya’ll with THRALL
lyrically crumbling the essence of Trump’s Wall
As I tell the tales
Of how I started
with Sonic and Tails
8 bit circuits, I used to work this
Lyrical circus
Middle Earth Magic, Andy Serkis
So phat, homie I TWERK
My musical Purpose
fincancially Worthless
Been BRUised,
beating and forgotten
None ya’ll can hurt this
The dude,
MIXED
Indian WHITE
Who what when
When I write, What I’m Like
Ripe with Hype
Music for Miles out of Sight
Now you HEAR
my sound,
Like, YEAH he’s cool, WE friends
Homes, I don’t need THEN
And I DON'T NEED YOU NOW,
I’m Free
That’s WHY this Called
I’ma DO ME

Cold were my ways, back in the day
I used to play playstation all damn day
final fantasy 7 and sonic hedgehog,
hip hop and pop, coca cola
homie, my addiction
I couldn’t stop
frozen in -40 degrees,
icicles clinging to my veins
To my balls
and to my sleeves,
straight out of Uptown,
the bougousiee,
I’m the whitest Indian west of the MISSISSIPPI
shit I’m the only Indian ya’ll can see!
The land of 10 THOUSAND lakes,
the land of 10 MILLION snow flakes
and after this take,
I be taking hip hop BACK
from good to great
Homie dont make no mistake
in the heart of the city
hennepin, to 1st ave
Ya’ll be like
DAMN THIS BROWN DUDE
IS SIN-BAD
I SIN BAD
I BEEN MAD
I STILL ROCK THE 6-1-2
CUZ I”M IRONCLAD
THE ICE IS A ON
My lake wobegon is frozen
My ladies strong,
AND my children are THE chosen
To watch my musical parade,
Homie I’m Minnesota Made
—————————--
Lyndale and Lake,
Catch me on my grind
Moving from Calhoun to isles IM Turning back TIME
SOUTH HIGHHHH
REPRESENT I’ll be a tiger till I die and I’m REBORN as a PEASANT
burnt to resin
I’m testing and messing
WHILE critics are asking the question
Is this Minnesotan ICING ERY recording session
YES
And I confess,
Every SESH is BLESSED
by the angelic nastiNESS that I possess
You wanna exercise these lyrical demons
your gonna need a priestess,
with holy water
To beat this TEST
Im the Minnesota STORM
Roast you CHILDREN OF THE CORN
Sell down ON EAT STREET
Run of the GREEN MILL
Run of the deep DISH,
Run of the CLEAN ILL
Run of the ICE COLD
Run of the BE TRILL
I’m blowing you away
Going totally robo-
Like DOROTHY and TOTO
As you bop
to my mechatronic LOCK STOCK
and two smoking JUCY LUCYS
I’m lava hot
HA HA
Yeah
What I became
My minnesota Mastery
Endless purple DROPS are staining on the back of MY tapestry
I”M Bowing to my PRINCE
The artist formally raining like a PALPACY
Darling NIKKI LICKING on you NASTILY
the BINARY feeding from my COMPUTER BLUE
And its asking ME
was prince DYING
a minnesota CATASTROPHE?
YES, IT WAS
He died in VAIN
VIKING colors BURN in purple FLAMES
my tears streaming forever in PURPLE RAIN
And what can I say?
Homie, I’m Minnesota Made!

Like In Tekken
Im wrecking you like deadly infections
Infecting your mind with recollections
Collecting the Hit points to HIT Joints
With enough mass to crack bit coins
Repping these sessions
MCs
Be learnin my WORDY profession
Teaching these KATS ABCs
Elementary 123s
The birds and the B’s
See my lyrical Geometry
Goes 360 degreess,
And PRECISE to the ANGSTROM
I angst them,
I aint them
They aint me,
I ate them,
Berate them
I feint them,
I fake them,
I take them,
I’m just the Indian Medic,
Hermetically sealing the lyrically pathetic
Overhyped jazz kat WACK
Jackson pollack-ESQUE Grotesque,
I swat these pests , YES
Lyrically bumping
PROFetically droppin
Hits to face
combos lay waste
To your face
Sqaushed TO tomato paste
Burning WASSABE
with MR Miyagi
HOT
like mohavi
On TOP
I SPIN like this earth,
I ROCK
Minding my OWN chopsticks like
NUN-chucks,
I ROCK this
like ROFFael,
Don’t I tell?
When DONNA TELL
OH
NO
I fell
But why do we fall BATMAN?
So we can learn
TO GET REVENGE
Yes
I mastered the Dark Arts
Dark ON the SKIN
Art ON the IN
I Fart on YOUR KIN
Lyrically Cocky
Rocky, I’ll BOW you
BACK to BAL BO UH Park
Fact
I’m RAPs new story ARC
And I DON”T lack rap

Mi Fuego Stacks
Tacs on Atlas,

Chronistic Chronies,
Fake Ass
Jabronies
Hooked on phonics,
Ho your phony
And when I’m reppin my Tekken,
I wreckin
you like your apendix did you dirty
while I Curtsy,
Yup, call 911 its an emergency
I backhanded a wack man that
Couldn’t stand back,
so I smacked him like CRACK
diddem BACK
BEFORE 90s rap
DIDDEM
Now send an ambulance
STAT
Why don’t think about that?
I write like a shakespearian
12th KNIGHT
Amiguously switching left to right
Like PLIGHT
BROUGHT
by WHITE
conquistadors
Feasting likes BEASTS
And whores
Just for WAR
And each day,
I yell
Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time
Or until I record my rhymes,
OUTSHINE
these brief candles
Your life is
BUT walking shadow, POOR PLAYER
So get your shit OFF the stage,
the RAJ against the Machine
The GOD of the OBSCENE
I SABATAGE your whole TEAM
I’ll do it TO the universe like Star Trek
Beam me up scotty
With my HOT TODDY, I’m probably
Robbing an Army
Across the galactic safari
Just to give you a Srinavasian Hari
Apoligies and sorry
But your dimension is about to DENALI
That’s just Like in Tekken

This isn’t funny
I’m not trying to cunning
I’m MISS YOU hunny
What am I’m running from?
What am I doing? Screwing
All these ladies,
And I’m screwing up what I could be having with you
And lastly,
No fuck that, firstly
AND First off
I’m just jerk off
Can get TO YOU quick enough
Now I’m thinking I am WORST OFF
Without you in proximity
Your vision has gotten into me
IM just the sickness
your the remedy
Snicket to my lemony
Why don’t stick it to me pleasently
I could be more elequently
Said
Close MY EYEs,
I’m better off dead
Infested with an obsession
Arm wrestling with the thought of you
without a question,
I want to coddle you
I’m over the TOP
But under your spell
Well
The thought of ME
Well
ITS hard to sell
But girl, homie, I’m lonely
I want to be with you ONLY
No one told me
That this is how life IS
You far away, but so close to my thoughts
Yup I’m over here
Your over there
AND Somewhere in between
I find despair
Or an empty stair
That leads me nowhere
But somwhere
Over the rainbow
Theres a PLACE
where I’ll never be the SAME THO
Your my DAME,
and JUST THE SAME
I’m your knight in shining ARMOUR
Or you could be MY knight
And save me LIKE A DAMSEL in distress
Through the darkness of the night
That could be tight?
We CAN reverse ROLE
STROLL
backwards through A grassy KNOLL
Moonwalk IN YOUR ARMS
While playing motown SOUL
BE my alpha
Be on TOP
Hold the DOOR
FOR ME
while we WALK
TALK
OVER ME
I don’t give a fuck,
GOT nothing to say
AND IF I”M WITH YOU
GIRL you CAN call me BAE
I want you so bad, I’ll do the dishes
I’ll take the kids
I’ll feed the fishes
It just doesnt matter to me,
In my fiction
I would rather be
Convicted with my conviction
If I DIDN”T
THAT would RATTLE ME
Unsaddle me
IF I DONT think OUTSIDE THE BOX
I’d be CADDLE SEE?
So girl, in my vision
we living like kings and queens in the kitchen
Inbetween the seems
Aint nothing missing

So Far Away
04:43
|

(Chorus by Carole King)
You’re far away
And I miss the way you stand next to me
Now I stand alone perplexedly
Without the ingredients to finish the recipe
Vexed that I can’t GIVE YOU the rest of me
This is the universe testing me
Will I ever really get to hold you
Will YOU ever really LET ME get to know you?
Will you REMEMBER stories that I told you?
I keep my memories locked up
Like melodies
Locked in a lock box
Thinking of you endlessly
But there is no end to this
This distance
Thousands of light years but your existance
Shines bright, shining on me tonight with persistance
And if I listen right
I can hear your voice
Musical notes
DRIFT cross the distant void
Im devoid
Of color touch and rhythm
I’m only livin
From decision to decision
Your love gripped my heart and made an incision
Can’t cauterize this wound it continues through fission
Metastasize to my eyes,
I’m losing my vision
My broken heart too large for any physician
I need a MAGICIAN
To send me remission
Road to perdition, end with mortician
die before I finish my MISSION
I’ll scream to the void, will I be forgiven?
Would you have loved me on your own volition?
Or am I simply wishing?

I Dreamt a Dream
02:48

I dreamt a dream,
dreaming that life would be free
from the fear that I see
Free from politicians
ripping the roots,
from under my knees, we siezed,
the opportunity to be free
we held each other
imagine THAT
and rationalize,
our passion and cries,
for everyone that was killed by our lies
we stood together
and loved one another
Understand,
THE strings were cut from
the puppetry of the MAN
I dreamt a dream
I dreamt a vision,
a united religion,
muslims and christians
buddhists, hindus,
ALL ELSE that I’m missing
We melting together
in mother-natures kitchen
a republic of sorry
Jamming so VAST
from city to safari
monopolies crumbling
Like asteroids on atari
And all THE WHILE,
we were asking
who the fuck are we?
I dreamt our ideas expanded
like the universe
Infinitely bursting
like luscious lips pursed
and we thirst
for moral perfection,
Intellection infected our minds
Like inception
I dreamt a dream
that Martin Luther King
his words
were words
that we would sing
and his words
would give
life to the lifeless,
bring
brightness to crysis
turn
evil to niceness
defeat the virus
of ISIS
entice us
people to, write this
via papyrus
fight this
evil
gripped in vicegrips
I dreamt of lightness
like this might
we might use
to smite this
abuse
by mankinds unrighteous
I dreamt through the night
finally provving that HUMANITY
WE’D BE ALRIGHT
I dreamt a dream

I'ma Do Me
04:09

I gotta say,
I may not be the best person today
or tomorrow,
I might even leave you in sorrow
break your heart
puncture it without thought
you'll be like, please Raj Stop
They'll say,
he's just looking to play
looking to slay
looking every which way
he's too into himself
no need for self-help
to CONTINUE his hubris ways
programmed to be self-involved 100% of the day
but ya know what you won't see?
from day to day
from the big bang to early next may
and ultimately at the end of the day
Ima do me
and I'm sorry
But I'm me
and I just mean
that I might be mean,
less meaningful than you can percieve,
please, believe
I'm an asshole living in an imaginary castle
unable to grieve
for the sea of reasons that you got against me
and I gotta be honest
Im hyped evertime I meet a new you
wanna get to know the who,
what, when,
be your friend,
send my love again and again
then, all of a sudden
i'm a stop, drop routinely
disapear better than houdini
you'll go looking and even if I was right next to you
you wouldn't see me
and when I come back
You'll feel like you got smacked
like your emotions were hacked
tell me to pack
send me on my way
consider me dead and soulless
less soulfull than the holes in whole block of swiss
leave me without a hug and a kiss
but ya know what you won't miss?
from day to day
from the big bang to early next may
and ultimately at the end of the day
Ima do me
And I won't apologize for wanting to know more
I won't apologize for being a man-whore
for doing everything I can to score
rewriting my bible to tell my own lore
for loving my life more and more
loving my mistakes more than my success
i'll never give up a life where I'm meant to impress
or be the best
shit
I'll never be a genius at one thing,
cause I want to be the king
of 10 million little things
I'll NEVER change the way MY song SINGS
I'll never CLEAN my GOLD so it BLINGS
I'll never hold you so close that it STINGS
I'll never yell I love you
At least not loud enough that it rings
And maybe I'll write the rest of my page solo
maybe they'll send me to mars alone,
as I hashtag YOLO
maybe I was meant to have all the friends
and feel Hollow
wallow
emotionally naked in my towel
with an unmatched scowell mysteriously hidden
by a familiar grin
molded by miles of sin
empty as a man made of tin
haha
yeah
I get it,
Raj,
good for you to admit it
you did it,
did fabulous,
grabbing ass across half the atlas
someone give this guy an award
cuz this badass is horribly bad
and an ass for having us
RUININ R TIME
BY FILLING our minds
with CRASS
splashing our ASS
with SASS
goddamn Raj, its a blast!
haha
my bad guys
I love ya'll
and even tho that statement may feel small
minute, miniscule, microscopic
not even today's main topic
its all I got until I can find a way to stop it
but ya know what you won't see?
from day to day
from the big bang to early next may
and ultimately at the end of the day
Ima do me
