lyrics
ALASKA:
[Before we get started tell our listeners who you are?]
I'm the living embodiemenf of a coup de grace
Catch the holy spirit when you hear it the true God
Salty like sel de mar the star of the crew squad
[What's your end game? What's your ultimate goal?]
To make a song that's as strong as you know I got soul
my own 36 chambers birthed inside a manger
I'm talking cult classic my own dr strangelove
[I know this seems unfair but where do you see this heading to?]
Right now I work in medicine but if I was a betting dude
I'd say some fame on my name but probably postmortem
Im a post modern post card from edge I guess it's postpartum
[That's kind of cool so when do you see this happening?]
I've been practicing my rapping since I was playing activision
Add a little activism marriage kids and trips to Paris
Probably when I'm fifty I guess I should be embarrassed
[Embarrassed? Why ever would you feel that?]
It's just something in my gut like eating wheat if you have celiac
I'm not made for a world of touchy feely cats with mealy raps
Not acting how they really act it's probably more on me in fact
[How? I dont see how that can be
It seems like everyone is crazy or maybe it's to much UYD
I'm just like Seth and Jonathan bombing upon the youthful glee
A 1900s man in the 21st century.
CRYPTIC
[Tell me about the influences you had]
Well life and death in the very same bag
Anger & pain and all them things bad
I find that my art is happiest when mad or sad
[Dont you find it draining staying negative in music?]
Nah I choose to use it
It's extremely
Therapeutic
At night I pour all that dark shit in my sounds
But by day I'm just a clown that loves to joke around
[Whats the meaning behind the name you've devised?]
I never been cryptic by choice but by design
my name found me, i rejoiced, embraced the signs
Im One Cryptic motherfucker that loves to voice his mind
[So what's with the mobius strip?]
Well that was my first solo… some melodius shit
Beautiful but blinding… thats my solar eclipse
I blow a kiss to those memories & moments of bliss
[Well back to the future, what you conquering next? ]
Getting back to daily beats & Pirata with jest
We got 7 more IT joints we're plotting to flex
And another solo project that Im dropping, you bet
