Produced by Danny Miles of July Talk & Tongue Helmet

An ode to the noble percussionist and every solid thing they smack

lyrics

We got
Drums (DRUMS) here it comes
Drums (DRUMS) here it comes
Drums (DRUMS) here it comes
drums drums drums
Drums (DRUMS) here it comes
Drums (DRUMS) here it comes
Drums (DRUMS) here it comes
drums drums drums

Pounding rhythms, down to give em sounds to listen
to, make the space my syllables fit in
to. subdivisions any substance split in
two, from patterns down to the atom I am living
proof. Since I been a kid in my living room
Banging on chicken buckets, adults were sickened of it
DRUMS i frickin love it. the devil made me do it to em
let the rhythm hit em. let the fluid sluice
Weas the juice, please squeeze the truth out with a
Pair of sticks to embarrass generic heretics
WHOOMP there it is, spare me your careless whispers
No shoes in the house, I'm wearing slippers
Serendipitous, you could call it kismet
Supersonic, I'm the future of the business
I'm a shoot you with a witness, no fear
of the repercussions; love to each percussionist
Who your cousin is? Come receive your punishment!
Uneventful, unintentional consequences
Fundamental consciousness in a nonsense sentence
I put a strain on friendships
I go on and on and on endless
All comers, challengers and contenders
I didn't know I would be so contentious!
I don't go on benders, I just bend
Over backwards for those that know the passwords
Yup, I kick styles in encrypted files
Wild like the drama of the gifted child
I sort MCs into handy piles
Then my smile fades as I feed them to Danny Miles
I can scarcely bear to watch
It's better this way, swear to god
He loves birds back to mesozoic theropods
I'm a prairie fossil, very Triceratops
With more props than Carrot Top and fewer freckles
If you stood before me on stage, you were heckled
Like, what did you expect? I'll
Be back, but for now just seckle!

Drums (DRUMS) here it comes

Stretch a skin over a hoop and add a resonating shell
Ready for detonating
Ba dum psh, every one's a comedian
Spreading devastating waves through every medium
Break the tedium. Act and seize the daylight
Create tragedies like the great Athenian
playwrights... Sophocles, Euripides
Everybody tells me Jesse D, you rip at these
It's a breeze, the rhythms just come to me
As long as there's a beat to accompany underneath
I am nothing sans batterie
I keep people to flatter me on salary
The benefits are decent
So begin echoing my sentiments this evening
Everybody knows you're a liar, little child
Putting "my opinions are my own" in your twitter bio
Yeah right. Sounds like someone's in denial
And for once it isn't me... it's been a while
