about

This one was just right in with the theme of Light a Fire. Turn all of the anger and bitterness into something positive.

lyrics

You
You you you
You you you you
You
You you you

Put-put-put a

Chip on my shoulder
Shipping bullshit like boulders
The cards you were holding
Packed up with me and folded
I’m freakin leaving this season
Done with cunts and the demons
Friggin dunces, behemoths
Caricature Jesus believers
Like fake holy rollers
With their morals way lower
Than the loafers and jokers
That their judgment bestoweth
Nursing their proverbs
Cursing with God’s words
Think they’re walking on water
Wearing blazers and dockers

Fu-fu-fu-fu
Fuck ya
Fuck ya

Fuck your pennies and dollars
That trickle to bottom
You skimming the top
Picking piggyback pocket
Rather shuffle through garbages
Shopping the bargain bins
Reaching for cartridges
Popping fucking slick Partridges
Faux family trees tarnish
Like gaps in your smartness
You put the faux in the garment
I’m your foe in the darkness
I’m preying like Satan
When you’re praying to Reagan
I bask in your hatred
Find you cold in a basement

Take my statements verbatim
When you’re tied in the basement
Cause when I’ve awakened
My fatal words get creative
You fucking made me abrasive
Fucking pissed animated
From this creative hiatus
I made motivation
Put your death in vernaculars
Blowing past amateurs
Who can’t even grasp
This massacre is attacking ya
I’ll be more direct
Look straight into the camera
Your fucking time’s passed bitch
Flip the page on the calendar

See
Don’t you feel better now ill?

illmef Detroit, Michigan

Underground on a shoestring, illmef lays cryptic samples over primitive percussion to showcase his greatest asset, words. Inspired by acts ranging from Pink Floyd to Run the Jewels, his sound dips into electronic and hip-hop. Thumping bass contrasts his complex, hyperbolic stanzas that challenge the listener. Each re-listen reveals another piercing layer of subtext and commentary. ... more
