Yahkub's Notes
Thank you for listening!
If you'll forgive me, I have a small bit of promotion to do.
1. I want to help independent artists thrive in a crowded market. So, I will subscribe to your Youtube, follow you on SoundCloud, etc. If you subscribe to and follow me. If you stay involved and support me by liking, commenting, and sharing, then I will do the same for you. We can build something together!
2. If you want to collaborate with me, I only have two rules: Give me credit for my contribution (your song title needs to say, "feat. Yahkub"). Share the track on social media. I'll promote it too!
Some people only want to be entertained-
make something fun they love, a sweet escape.
Some people only want to be entertained-
but as for me? I prefer honest self-expression.
Art is honest self-expression.
How do you express yourself?
Switch it up to keep 'em guessing-
or gather dust upon a shelf.
Paint a portrait in the grime-
all you forfeit is your time.
The value of ticking 'second hands'-
is one you create within your mind.
Afraid of success- potential success- making a mess of my life.
Essential is stress and my need to express.
I'm doing this shit for me.
I need a fucking release.
Making music till deceased-
not going in peace-
I will never cease.
They gonna have to murder me and bury me-
twelve-feet deep-
double the depth-
curse my grave with a hex-
pave it in concrete-
to keep me from coming back-
in the form of a bat-
so, riddle me that.
What's in my rap-pack?
Lyrical batarangs-
a cape and a mask.
Goin on the attack: it's in the neurology, possibly in the psychology,
no-one is changing me. Perhaps aesthetically it's readily apparent that-
I'm suffering a malady.
He's been infected with a strain.
All he wants to do is entertain.
