About

If I remember correctly, I wrote this song in my backyard on a 2017 summer night. It’s a quiet dose of realism about my music dreams and the likelihood that I’ll eventually give up rapping.

Dusty Lyrics

[Chorus]
They wanna take gap years
I just wanna take a nap year
Dream croaking in a back room, it must be
My friends want STEM degrees
I just want better beats
Dream croaking in a back room getting dusty

[Verse 1]
Phone ring, pick it up, friends tryna tell me come light some
I think I might stay home, just write some
Play beats, make you wanna start a fight or some
Think about the album all night or some
I'm in a pickle, guy, I came up, used to be awkward
Now I got a girl, try to do her right
Still it's wrong in the long term
Moving off to college got me feeling like a monster
And I don't even have any energy to offer, offer

[Chorus]
Gap years
I just wanna take a nap year
Dream croaking in a back room, it must be
My friends want STEM degrees
I just want better beats
Dream croaking in a back room getting dusty

[Verse 2]
Before I knew it was ADD
I used to think that I wouldn't succeed because I was just lazy me
I couldn't focus on school, and my mama was telling me
"Hey, you need sleep"
But even when I was rested I was trying to escape into Jay-Z dreams
If I was Hov; Kanye
Maybe I could do it my way
Grow a Ben Frankie flower, never had a seed packet, just a hobby
I know some kids that I'm making believe like I'm Mr. Rogers with the trolley
That's why admitting giving up is a matter of time makes me feel sorry

[Chorus]
Gap years
I just wanna take a nap year
Dream croaking in a back room, it must be
My friends want STEM degrees
I just want better beats
Dream croaking in a back room getting dusty

[Verse 3]
I made the beat, I'm proud of it, damn
Even if this shit's your least favorite
Making songs used to be just as easy as eating cake
And heating pavement
I got friends that I want to love until they love themselves
I tell 'em high school wasn't hell
Don't think I peaked and run and tell
Last time they rung the bell I was jaded
And I am, still
If I died as a musician make this shit my damn will
Give the beats to Sam, bars to anyone who can do it for fun
Just don't ask me if leaving the story unfinished was dumb
