Previous Industries (Open Mike Eagle, Video Dave & STILL RIFT) Lyrics
Yeah I'mma start practically immediately
So gather 'round
We're the new fools in town
And the sound's laid down by the underground
We'll drink up all the whiskey that you got on your shelf
So just let me introduce myself
My name is STILL RIFT
Pronounced with the napalm
Keep calm and carry on
Right arm a Megatron
Blueprint of Babylon
Silent Tetra-Grammaton
The false alarm, Chicken Little
Wolf ticket bought the farm
Foxes in the henhouse
Cockfight, get the money like curls
A betting man wins but lose the girls
Midnight in a perfect world
Building steam with grains of salt
Shadow o' the avalanche
Shift the plate, and dodge the fault
Split hair to Albuquerque
Call Saul for the rabbit stew
Slippin' Jimmy caught the fall
Best of Genes begins anew
Now gather 'round
We're the new fools in town
And my sound's laid down by the underground
We'll drink up all the whiskey you got on your shelf
So just let me introduce myself
My name is Open Michael
And it's pronounced like it was fired from a broken rifle
Leaning like a turnin' motorcycle
Oiled and gleamin' like a golden idol
Book me, the king of the ring, and let me hold the title
I'm only messing with people who know the meaning of things
And Service Merchandise break rooms and media kings
Playground means freedom, that's the feeling, it stings
I'm in a grid, 30 feet away dreaming of swings, it's unreachable
And now gather 'round, gather—
We the new fools in town
And our sound's laid down by the underground
We'll drink up all the whiskey that you got on your shelf
So just let me introduce myself
My name is David, pronounced with the Video
VHS, Betamax, analog, digital
We the best, braid the raps, let's get physical
Throwback rap tracks, swole fat backpacks for delivery
Fresher than what you're giving me
Nostalgia like a muh'fucker, you ever read The Giving Tree?
By Shel Silverstein? I know you're feeling me, hey
I know you're feeling me
I know ya—
My name is Celozzi-Ettleson
I feel like I am better than every David
Excluding Trugoy and Letterman
We the new (Fools in town)
Gather 'round
Gather 'round
Pronounced with the
Just let me introduce myself
My name is
Pronounced with the
Gather 'round
Sounds laid down by the underground
My name is
Pronounced with the
So gather 'round
We're the new fools in town
And the sound's laid down by the underground
We'll drink up all the whiskey that you got on your shelf
So just let me introduce myself
My name is STILL RIFT

Keep calm and carry on
