What's up? This one's goin out to my, like, 30 fans I'm pullin out all the stops right now because I can I've been lookin for the answer to a nagging question It's a pretty popular one but no one knows its origin So I picked up a big book and I flipped the page and found Testosceles You know what he told me? He said, "Get a pen and copy these" But it was kinda hard to read the writing cause it was written out too sloppily Except one word I saw perfectly clear - monopoly It said this land is my land and the only thing that's stoppin me from settin foot on your land is you'll claim I took your crop and sheep, and you'll make me drop and weep, and you'll make me mop and sweep, and you'll make me top a heap, and you'll make me not sleep, and you'll make me.... Wait, wait, wait, wait... What was that nagging question again? Oh yeah! If a tree falls in the woods, does it make a sound with no one around near it? Can I get sued if no one's here to hear this? Do I have the merit? Will you break my spirit? Is it careless if I share it without a lawyer there to prepare it? Will the parent company come after me without the proper paperwork and paying for royalties? If I plagiarize and pirate peoples' property intellectually, will they pardon me? Probably not! But I'd like to believe the lie that my ability will protect me if I apply for LLC So I'm Droppin' Em! Droppin all my worries I buried my fear and it decayed into courage Now I'm flourishin Found nourishment I've had enough apples, now I want oranges Anyone out there can make sangwiches But I can curse at you in four languages (cursing in four languages) What does your horoscope say? And if that bull keeps charging toward us....Taurus gonna rot your brain Now, what's up, Lane? If you think I'm thinkin, think again Will I end up trendin? All depends I would rather drown than get the bends But either way I'm past the surface in the end Like the surface of Europa the ice broke and it opened a whole new world to soak up And sometimes it makes me choke up when I think about the past and everywhere that I was And how I got here today....it kinda seems impossible That one single mind could be storin a million lines of movies and books and music or really anything you can find Like chiptune and hip-hop and punk-rock and Sinatra, be-bop and beat-boxin Adoptin a Dachshund and Spaniel and Maine Coon, Savannah The names of the planets The Dawning of Manna Or maybe a Pekinese or a Bichon Frise or a Siamese or a dijonnaise "Hold it between your knees" if you follow me Can't recall the winner but I can name the referee Let's talk about sports, baby! Uhhhhh....... Nevermind the sports, guess it wasn't important Had a good course on a different assortment Like how to trick bats How to teach rats how to ride bikes Nah, that was mice Properly stored it Poor kid in the pocket But I'll not get bored cause I got what can not be bought-ed Like chip-tune and hip-hop and be-bop and Sinatra And cycle And walkin past Michael Jordan in a hallway without sayin hello No more watch the time go right out the window That's experience, baby! Experience! So what's up, Lane? If you think I'm thinkin, think again Will I end up trendin? All depends I would rather drown than get the bends But either way I'm past the surface in the end If you think I'm thinkin, think again Don't got money but I still got a lot to spend I'm not a stranger to goodbyes or early ends But I still got every one of my good friends If you think I'm thinkin, think again I would not be here without my brother, Ben You can take that any way you want But I intend to let you know I'm happy to be here before track 10

I'm workin diligently like the military And no, that Dolly the Sheep is not a problem for me I got a promise to keep I'm not as young as you think I never stop when you speak about apocalypse We get caught up lookin up bullstuff: One cup Aluminum/tin hut Jungle rot Putt-putt King Tut Big butts I ain't had enough yet Do you got The Right Stuff? Talkin lunar pilots People sayin, "My butt" Call each other mindless Think they know when time's up "Heard the planets lined up!" Before I get too righteous Remind me I might just be talkin back to nitrus And if you came from DYFS I hope that you will try this Instead of watching Linus and Lucy - the shinest Shinin like a diamond I can't believe I'm buyin Rihanna's new vinyl It's never really final "It's obsolete". Not to me Plant another poppy seed Pop out technology It finally got to me Honestly now I see how come I was drowning And now that I found it I'm bubbly and bouncy Amounting to now, see I gotta talk it out.... Law and accounting Mathematic amounting Economic housing Audio bouncing Knowledge is power, the more that you get dialed in And college allows you to rock it like a Townshend! So pronounce your pronoun I think you know how "I CONQUER I BEFORE I GO DOWN!"

I'm startin to get used to bein a douche Who turned out to be rude when he's no longer losin I'm not a fair dude when I'm left to my choosin I'll nullify you if you come with a mood swing I used to roll with the flow and take punches They told me there was no such as free lunches I begged to differ as much as I wanted As I continue to grow, I grow stunted But I go at it as though I earned somethin I finally had it with broke and I'm hungry I don't react to the smoke in my country I heard that, "In the end ya get one thing....." Nothin I used to live in the past and it mattered I went to Mercury fast like Mad Hatter There was a time I prepared for Jake's Ladder It took a while for that to be shattered If there's a riot..... I don't buy it. Yawn What's Goin On? The Key of Life is missing in this song The Red Cross can get lost And I Burned Down the Mission (control) So now I need two dishes One for the laboratory One for the kitchen The one who hissed chicken got hitched and got kittens Now we're playin Skitchin One of my true wishes I couldn't pay the bill and so I did all the dishes I learned a couple things, like how to cash in for Switches I looked around and saw everything that I predicted That's when I learned fishin Stepped into position to pass a couple out But all I'm doin is pinchin

Now baby go inside and win A couple dollars and we're off When I say off I mean forever We don't tell no one and we're gone We plannin a huge plan into Canada Gonna revamp and reanimate Gonna abandon contaminates Already the perfect candidates Plan is unanimous Atlantic City, the benefactor Alma mater See ya later Stay with Lane Tarr Gonna take her somewhere better To another place where father can't get her See, I met her at a critical time When there was a different plan in mind But I wouldn't mind havin someone to squawk to Plus, she looks real fine So I told her I'd take us But first we gotta make us a couple bucks So open the bag I'll put in the fantasy You bring the luck So we set up shop right on the corner of the block Sleepin in a tent on the sidewalk Squawk squawk Everyday People stop to gawk And I Can Hear Music All Day Music My ghetto blaster blastin brass Contusion Jammin Choosin which one of us'll get the last of the can of tuna You? nah Me? yah Remember last week when that lady gave us a free ham?

Uh-One 01:32
I drew ya up to paint around ya I can't put on a quarter pounder I roamed around in California I came around to settle down, yah I made a clown, a fool of myself I checked my mirrors and drove outta hell I took a chunk right outta my wheel I came inside to find a hot meal I read a book and opened my mind Year and a half later I'm fallin behind Pick up the mic and black out the blinds Switch up your tools from cables to Kleins Everyone stop! I quit! I was lying! Come to Lane Tarr's Electric Supply! We got A man, a mouse, a damn, a yowza How's your mouth? Ya shot it off And now you're crouchin, catchin panthers Can't ya answer without the random banter? Ain't no plan to round it out Ya found it out Now sound it out Now count it out
13.
I met a soft-shoed Shelly on a Saturday Night, baby! She said, "Life is like a box of wine...it puts me right out. Right up the chimney" Be careful or you'll win me With all of the courtesies and services that you're givin Weighin down to the floor She thought that I was poor but she didn't didn't see it comin when she walked into my store Storin up all the goodies she couldn't get if she stood in it for 30 minutes Don't forget a little bit of Love and Tender Not a pendant Cannot win it Cannot store it up to spend it "Matter of fact, I think you better give it up and get together" Thinkin back....remember Heather? Can't remember if or whether she had a common bond with Hydro-Jean or Oxy-John A comedy at Comic-Con A condom on a peeping Tom A piece of meat on Ramadan A gentleman they call Madonna I don't know if everyone wanna go the route we think we're gonna Can't get out, we're goin under Maybe not Can only wonder Wonder-Man is in the plans A gender-fluid circumstance Ya had to take a second glance because "She had man hands"

Big Bird and The Count, What is this all about? The day I move to Sesame Street everyone else moved out? Do I wear a sign, says "I don't want anyone else around"? Tell me now Cause I get down sometimes when I'm left to myself But I'm in good health Long as I'm takin my prescription pills All the feels What are you posed to do when your cabinet come unglued and they carbonate copy you and you're down to be down and oot? It'll cheer me up It'll make me tough It must be subterfuge To gain that bliss there's somethin I'll have to lose I might miss my connection to all of you Smaller news - so much ado about some miniature brooze Only you can prevent an abhorrent forest of views Light a fuse and send a message to a miracle muse Cut loose and enjoy the benefits if you will I can recommend a couple bottles that kill... All the feels What are you supposed to do when your cabinet come unglued and they carbonate copy you and you're down to be down and oot and then Canada called and sued and you ended up in a feud and you thought they were all your dude but they hate your new attitude? One...no two...no three friends strong Played a good game, now my three friends gone Mom took me aside, mom's alarmed Mom told me about family norm Good friend four escaped by an arm Five could make it cause five's been warned But six and more are gonna drink their fill A conman givin you a combo deal All the feels What are you supposed to do when your cabinet come unglued and they carbonate copy you and you're down to be down and oot and then Canada called and sued and you ended up in a feud and you thought they were all your dude but they hate your new attitude and they got you into that mood and you thought it was understood and you did what you thought you should but they kicked you into the mud and then stared at you like they're studyin, what are you gonna do when your cabinet come unglued and they carbonate copy you? When I see real trouble I know I don't have time to dawdle Cause when I look ahead and cannot see tomorrow then if I don't do somethin it will be fault And I could beam it up or keep it in the vault I could hear my mother call

Don't stay alone Be careful, baby Don't stay alone too long Or you'll never be a mom You can't keep waiting This time will help And it might make sense So call whenever you can Don't be afraid Only not trying but it's only today You're not excited but it's momentary You just got lost I'm trying to.... You just get lost whenever others cut in If you can help it, try to stop listening That includes me And so my last word will be "You've heard it all, now you know all that you need" Don't turn away Only denying what you don't wanna say Only in mind a moment so pull the brake You could get lost I'm trying to.... You just get lost whenever someone cuts in If you can help it, try to stop listening That includes me And so my last word will be "You've heard it all, now you know all that you need"

Chortle 00:58
I got a Chortle, Chortle, Chortle, Chortle Chortle's gonna rock away I got a Chortle, Chortle, Chortle, Chortle Chortle's gonna rock today I got a Chortle on the left kick Chortle on the right Chortle all around the way I got a Chortle on the line Chortle all the time Said a Chortle's gonna come my way
22.
Don't even try it No, you can't get away Startin to calm down from the night before I got a parachute on and it's tightly sewn I never wrote a thing down - I got a 94 I'm gonna paint the town and jump from the 19th floor I haven't seen you in a week, now you're mighty grown Now where you hidin in the street? I got a right to know And we'll agree to disagree, I guess I'm rightly wrong So put your nightie on and set your sights at home Come on, Sharone Pick up the phone We can pick up the pieces from the night before Fix a thing up and I'm in the zone Make me a dumb chump and I can't control Can't control, can't control, can't control, and I can't control! Run a punk down and I punch a hole Nevermind the fact I'm not tough at all Never seen me bluff? You should expect a call Correction hun - you can inspect my nose Cause if I'm lyin then you know you'll see that sucker grow I got nothin to tell You got nothin to show Don't even try it
23.
So Logical 02:46
I need to remember what a date is I need to call that waitress I'm such a natural And it's so logical I made it through my great escape and graduated I'm such a rational advocate for logical An actual and tangible demand for things that fit in hand Make lemonade and make a dollar Lemonade stand My brother had some words for me, was listening Said, "Don't have to be happy every day, just most of them" Live every day like it's your last....that I don't recommend At least not in the sense that it was first interpreted Because you'll probably get tomorrow in all likelihood And if you don't prepare at least a little....that ain't good It don't mean live like no tomorrow Don't mean that today has to be the best day Or better than the day before or the day before It just means that when the day is done and you look at the whole picture, the big picture Would you be at peace that your race was run? It's so logical

California, understate - I overstayed it California, understand - I couldn't stand it California, overgrown but all alone Everybody hold your own or hold the phone Everybody says, "Oh, where does the time go?" And nobody knows California, understate - I overstayed it California, understand - I couldn't stand it California, overgrown but all alone Everybody deep inside who knows they hate it Everyone who understands the plastic bandage Everybody says, "Oh, where does the time go?" California cut the heat then took my coat Told me that I had a seat then had it sold Told me they were dyin to meet then didn't show California can't compete with what I know
25.
What I Know 01:43
What I know is what it means to be at home What I know is nothin's worth bein alone What I know is grab the stuff that means the most What I know is that's enough of coast to coast What I know is that I love my life a lot What I know is when it's right and when it's not What I know is that I surely took a shot What I know is when to pause and when to stop What I know is all my friends came out on top What I know is that to pay the bills I mop What I know is I get chills, my music's hot What I know is it's ok to say accomplishments that I made are worth a compliment What I know is when I play I feel so calm What I know is everyday I'm feelin strong What I know is that line came from million songs What I know is not to go on way too long So I'll say goodbye I love you like I love my mom
26.
They're starting to say That they could surely knock me down They're starting to say That I'm not the toughest one around, no They're starting to say That they could knock me off of my feet They're starting to say That I won't be back here again

about

Created from July 2019 - May 2020
Think of this as "a punk-rock album of hip-hop songs"

I set out to make it as a contrast to my previous album, which was deeply personal, short and simple. So I wanted to make something that has nothing to do with myself, and make it DENSE. I tried to avoid using the word "I" for a while, but once this beast started taking on a life of its own it quickly became personal. Good thing, because I feel this album is the truest expression I've made. Bump those speakers!
