lyrics
I had my back pack, packed stash, zig zags, bagged hash,
that grass snagged by the door man at the dance, damn.
I mean it was the first week of college,
back in George Orwell's 84, on campo's watch list.
I guess I was sinning cause they sent me to the clinic,
I guess I was ripping my degree up with knives in the kitchen,
I guess it was addicting, at least I was given the power to quit it!
[wait, wait, really?]
But I'm just bullshitting.
Months flew by and my care was high up in the air,
I was above their line of sight when they glared.
Should have stared them straight in the eye and said
"Would you spare the lecture about the nectar
in my grape flavored flare?"
You got a creed, I respect that, and I love you.
But you ain't above me, and me? I ain't above you.
Set the dove loose and let peace fly over hamilton,
I swear I'm not just babbling so change the way you handle it.
[HOOK]
So tonight put your fingers to the sky
Chuck the deuces to the world, cuz it's time to say bye
Why? Cuz I can
Why? Cuz I can
Why? Cuz I can
Why? Cuz I can
They bringing you down saying "You don't have a chance."
Try to put in me in my place? Man, I got other plans.
Why? Cuz I can
Why? Cuz I can
Why? Cuz I can
Why? Cuz I can
[You know what else really pisses me off?]
And people be like,
"Why is this kid rapping? I mean,
his beat is cool, but his verse is kind of lacking.
Where's the hash tag rhymes? Why is he backpacking?
All I want to hear about is bitches, drugs, and bill stacking!"
But, what if I told you I'm just being myself,
bleeding inkwells, scripting to tell, not sell.
What if I gel with original comps?
I got a keyboard, a guitar, some mics, a bass to drop.
Don't chop that much,
screwing with hip-hop and rock.
Influenced by Blink, and FOB,
K. Dot, Geo and Sabz.
Caught between genres, I ain't generic.
These haters busting out their thread and needle when I tear it.
Hating cuz I'm painting and this art is shaking cages
changing the same arrangements that we've been hearing for ages.
So I'mma set it loose, start mutating, and make it rad.
And when you ask why I'mma say cuz I can.
[HOOK]
Not a greaser rebel who revels without a cause.
My fly leather jacket's bagging and tagging my boss.
Instructions ain't how I function at all.
Lego sets told me shacks but I made Taj Mahals.
Take a pop beat then grab it by the throat,
go throw in the dirt, footrest for my throne.
I coax clever metaphors that no one's thought of before
to own the instrumental so your mental's never bored.
I can and I plan to be the man,
my hype man, and my band are the best of the land.
And my dad and my fans are the reason I stand
a titan who holds mic stands like a champ.
I never really rolled to Rosecrans in a van,
I never held a chopper for means of killing man.
But I still got the skills who call for a little bragging,
You taught me that Seattle, sorry I've been Gonzagan.
An energy-driven dynamic rap artist, K-Rad is a Seattle native who focuses on storytelling, clever lyrics and catchy hooks over lush beats that combine old-school hip-hop fundamentals with newer electronic sounds.
