[Verse 1 - Boy Pierce]
Late at night I feel something that's creeping and it ain't IT
But they say I have it...un-tangible magic
They gathering it's happening, late night snack-ening
Glued to my tube, never dude, no pro-crastining
Procrastinating, sorry, back at age ten playing Sorry
Ornery rocking out Inspectah Deck and playing with Atari
My next door neighbor saw my Bone Thugs 'N Harmony tape
He said that this alarming but wait
Eternal 1999 inside my mind I hide behind
My brown paper bag textbook cover, look under
The surface 'cause I merk it, weather the inclement weather
Whether or not here I come, no rather ready grab a heady
And that can be a heady beer, a heady thought, or heady heady
Many tell me "can I kick it?" yeah, well hold it steady
Introducing the new thing
Who brings hope into the dopest sound you boosting
[Chorus - Boy Pierce and Marcel Owen Alexander]
Up, down, make it alright
Touch clouds, taking a flight
Now how can I go wrong?
Up loud making a song
Now how can I go wrong?
Up loud making it
[Verse 2 - Boy Pierce]
I'm an MC B-O-Y P I surprise thee
I flip rhythms quick hit in bars that be divey
Grimey, eye contact with a cutie
Is this real? Rubbing my contacts grab a koozie
Working late, cancel all your awkward dates
Pump the breaks on the small talk and walk away
You can walk this way, you're a boss today
You can collect the pro-cess and toss away
Getting lost all day, I rap my A-B-Cs
And count my 1-2-3s, they screaming "Hey BP!
Represent, represent!" I toss 'em 50 cents
In da club I don't fit in, but tonight I'm content, now
[Chorus]

[Verse 1 - Boy Pierce]
Rocking Value City windbreakers in the fifth grade
And Parka jackets, awkward habits, Super Soakers, losing focus
Short shorts in gym classes, dork, dork with thick glasses
Patch over eyeball, I'm nervous the guys call me doofus
Some rude kids, I like rap and loose kicks
The heel broke, my wheel spokes, they ride well, I feel
Hope the TV is open, my grandpop is smoking
Video game broken, I'll make it, here's hoping
[Verse 2 - Sir Kn8]
Hoping my essence be blossoming fresh and free —
God is within me, the Goddess is next to me.
Part of me opens my heart up like sesame,
Part of me parties on speed, dope, and ecstasy.
Pressure I feel on the finite thing me
Being merely a shift in the infinite sea
Of my particles, barnacles, gripped to the beach —
Sheesh! infinity’s symbol is he.
Yes it's me present and within its reach,
Emptiness endless embraces us each.
Stay in the moment, it’s as ripe as a peach,
Under the stars. Star Bellied Sneetch.
Speech wrought incredibly well.
Screech, holler, give out a yell.
Screech, halt, entrance of hell.
Screech on Saved by the Bell.
[Verse 3 - Boy Pierce and Sir Kn8]
BP: Notebook with no hook with Sir Kn8
The words break your backbone I'm back home
No lack throne, no whack tone
Backyard barbecue with party fools will start at noon
Depart at two and jump in pool and bump a tune
Drink punch and groove, ooh
SK: Ooh, ah, inspiring awe.
Machine on the mic, nah mean? I'm a claw.
Easy on the mic, rock it calm, like “ahhh”.
Mean on the mic; my mic my call.
Michael Jordan. Bulls. Bullwhip.
Bullshit, party, party, bullshit.
Pilot. Paint it. Write. Balzac.
Ballin’. All in. Hangin’. Ballsack.
BP: All That, Keenan, stall that dreaming
Make it real, one take you kill
Your reservations, circle bases
Urkel's face on Trapper pages
SK:
Rapt my gaze is; I behold it all,
A free soul that falls like a leaf in a squall.
I used to roll reefer while squeezed in a stall
in secret, sneak it, and leave for the mall.
BP: Leap off a wall repeating The Wall
and Dark Side of the Moon tunes
SK:
Boom, dude! The truth is so clear.
I'm Comfortably Numb. I Wish You Were Here.
BP: Sipping a beer, listen and cheer
SK:
The essence is stitched amidst that which appears
Tight as a stitch, I flow like a tear.
BP: Right in my niche, I go without fear

[Verse 1]
BP I'm truly a throwback, YO RAPS
MTV, TV screen with a CD sleeve
Snatching belts off the top of the ladder
And leaping down with a leg drop
Land it and watch his head pop
Grateful Dead rock, American Beatuty
I'll marry a cutie, but while I wait I stare at a booty
In my lair with a koozie, my seat back with a mean track
Obese Joseph, post up and lean back
Avant garde, bitch I'm a Monstar
I bomb hard, rather atomically, rappin anomaly
Gotta be legend and prodigy
Scream like the Mike and Janet video I'm hitting those Odysseys
Iliad, probably silly as comedy (BP's a joke, he's a novelty)
Solemnly, promise I'm a vomit on a sonnet to be honest
Get the green, supersonic
[Chorus]
Old. School. Fool.
Walkman as I walk, man
Too cool as I talk, an
Old. School. Fool
Throwback and I know that
Go back when I flow that's
Old. School. Fool.
Walkman as I walk, man
Too cool as I talk, an
Old. School. Fool
Throwback and I know that
Go back when I flow that's
Old. School. Fool.
[Verse 2]
Never seen a live show of Disco Biscuits
But I know you feel the vibe, bro, listen, frisk it
Fans down south eating chicken, brisket
Fans in the dorms, trail mix and Triscuits
Throw a hissy fit while I go and kick a quick
Remix like that stupid joke when tracks skip, ask Flip
I been in my essence since my freshman year matress
Scratch it, adolescence, delicatessens and Mad Libs
High school, tight fool, sneaking in the nice pool
Sipping on a ice cook Kool Aid, light blue
Some are smoking silly stuff and some are acting really tough
Summer and I summon on the sub woofer to set me up
Let me up, get me in the Cypher, BET me up
B.E.T. on my C-D-R C-D
Fifteen heighten the thrill
Sixteen got my license to ill
[Chorus]
Old. School. Fool.
Walkman as I walk, man
Too cool as I talk, an
Old. School. Fool
Throwback and I know that
Go back when I flow that's
Old. School. Fool.
Walkman as I walk, man
Too cool as I talk, an
Old. School. Fool
Throwback and I know that
Go back when I flow that's
Old. School. Fool.

Lyrics:
Chorus
The internet used to be funny but now it's not
The internet used to be funny but now it's not
Disconnect me from the internet
I'm getting sick and stressed
Me need to sit and rest
Verse 1 (Boy Pierce)
I remember was cool to friend a friend from high school
A nice dude, now he post political views
And people sit and they stew, I want a funny video
Maybe animals doing back flips, versus tragic
Depressing statements, typing in the basement
On a sunny day, I would rather run away
To the park or the beach or just start on some beats
Hit the arcade or the library, offline carry
Conversation, call your mom on her born day
Don't post a paragraph, that's a sore play
Enjoy the concert...enjoy the ballgame
You were publicizing it and missed the long play
I miss leprechauns in Mobile, Alabama
I miss Salad fingers and I think I wanna hand a
Resignation to the memes and the GIFs
Lift up my spirits once again, these ain't real 1,000 friends 'cause
Chorus
Verse 2 (Boy Pierce)
Kermit sipping tea...prefer him on the screen
Jordan crying tears...prefer him earning cheers
Wily Wonka..Most Interesting Man
I prefer an Everlasting Gobstopper in my hand
Versus mobile device, I slouch when I type
I'm being so rude to peeps in the room
Cram it in the couch cushion, man I ain't about looking
Silly on the street watching video on screen
Social media a mess with the trolls
Seems I'm getting more depressed as I scroll
People check it while in line Trader Joe's
On elliptical they glide and they post
Vacation photos, you should go relax
Placate and forego 'cause we're going mad
Have a conversation with a human being
And I'm guilty myself, turn this off and rebel
Chorus
Verse 3 (MC Lars)
Remember whistle tips? Remember Chocolate Rain?
It was 2003 before the internet was lame
Nerdcore was new I was riding on a wave
To make my second album cost this kid $30k
Anyway nowadays you can get a Fiverr mix
For a twenty spot and post it up and get a million hits
I’m not saying it’s a bad thing now that everyone’s a rapper
But our cultures in decline - steaming live, cue the laughter
And back before Napster, we’d trade mp3s
On Zip Discs, I’m serious, we’d watch MTV
for the music - yo that’s crazy, then the gates got smashed
Streaming killed the record stores - we knew they’d never last
Frontalot showed me Twitter back in 2008
Now it’s wrecking mad careers like a trip to Watergate
Heard Roseanne lost her show, poppin’ Ambien she’s frantic
RIP the internet, Boy Pierce, you know, it’s tragic !

BP back on the d low
Quick on the dish, gotta wish like I'm Skee-Lo
1 and 2 pick like it's Elway, Marino
NY to Chino, San Bernardino
Fire dial 9-1-1 calling Reno
Ain't a fat cat, blackjack at casino
Used to ride my bike up to McDonald's on my dino
Sorry I mean Dyno, not a whino sipping pinot
I'm just making noise while my boys Home Depot
Got a monthly rent check, don't say re-lo-
Cate to the 'burbs, you should learn, you should be slow
Give up all your passion, re imagine all your dreams, yo
I'm just feeling real ish, cats on placebo
Rather spend they evening on a couch with Doritos
I was finding me, while ya'lls Finding Nemo
This is BP, listen up like a keynote
Verse 2 pick up and burst through
Pursue, purview sicker than bird flu
Stay around the city like I'm George Costanza
When I lay it down so gritty don't ignore my stanza
Danza, Tony go plug my tracks to your homies
No phony, give me the trophy, I'm hungry like Matthew Stonie
Coney Island freestyling, large bottled beers 'til they growling
I got the spears and the talons to commandeer any challenge
Rocking a flight tonight where I just write
Details, no email just a rhyme recite
Check this my setlist connected like Tetris
Encore, extra credit
Let this travel up in your brain stem and make them
Synapses snap and create them
Masterpieces that you can blast on weekends
And tuck in pockets, enough to rock it on subway trains
Like the 4-5-6, you can rock bobos, you can sport fly kicks
You can hoard my hits, I record on click
This is BP, I blast, half court shot swish

[Verse 1 - Boy Pierce]
When it's chilly I rock 'em over the ear, silly
Ear bud sunny, honey, running 'round the city while I make money
Funny, my soundtrack it pounds back
Reinforces, it's an endorsement, a sound pact
Endorphins, saw her sitting in the rain
Raindrops falling on her, bumped in
Awkward pause...song...long...gone
Never to be seen, baby only in my dreams
But not necessarily, rocking so merrily
Slow, slow, slow your roll, stop with the parody
SoHo spots and froyo shops, robocops
Bootleg perfumes for blocks on Broadway
Hustle all day, whistle while you work
Listen what the song say
Go ahead and just block 'em out, walk a block around town
Footsteps and your favorite sound
[Chorus - Boy Pierce]
I can't walk without the sound in my headphones
(Sound in my headphones, sound in my headphones)
Navigating through the crowd as I head home
(Crowd as I head home, crowd as I head home)
I can't walk without the sound in my headphones
(Sound in my headphones, sound in my headphones)
Navigating through the crowd as I head home
(Crowd as I head home, crowd as I head home)
[Verse 2 - Esoteric]
I need the sound of the beat so I can beat it down
He's around geeks and clowns steppin on uneven ground
Leaps and bounds above ya'll, feelin like the king is crowned
No LeBron, weight of the world, but my shoulders strong (ugh)
Power trippin but it isn't what the potus on
Bangin beats on the subway or when I mow the lawn (hold on)
Turn it up, turn it up, make sure the sound is loud
So I ain't gotta hear you sayin "check my Soundcloud"
You can cell 'em earbuds or call 'em headphones
When I'm in the dead zone they'll lay 'em on my headstone
Put in an album and recite to 'til my mouth hurts
Hang in central where they slangin pretzels on the outskirts
Bangin tracks that are vintage like betamax, play some wax
Take 'em from the racks like bodega snacks
Goin way back like just Just-Ice Kool & Deadly
I need my Walkman like Peter Quill to rock steady
[Chorus]
[Verse 3 - Boy Pierce]
So def (BP!) I keep em on my home desk
Walking by a hostess or grotesque homeless
Sleeping on a park bench, reeking of some raw stench
Construction site, right, I leap it like I'm Clark Kent
Super hero when I loop my heroes on a drum loop
Pups woof, doves poop, rock ‘em in the club too
(If i went), heaven sent, strangers like Eleven’s tent
Passing I’m blasting the nastiest heavy sets
They be liver, lyrics deeper than a navy diver
Catalogue i’m batting off barrages like I’m Baby Driver
Make deposits out my wallet while I never pause it
Crossing walking east heap of fruit stands and street meats
Nauseous but I’m knockin it for days and obsessed
Steady breathing passing Europeans craning they neck, yes
You know the deal, so check the cassette
It's Boy Pierce and MC E-S what you expect?
[Chorus]

Reminiscent

[Verse 1]
Reminiscent of my bedroom, and my shoe box
And my gym shirt, and my boom box
Reminiscent of my Pop Pop purchasing doughnuts
Letting me sleep in on weekend
Reminiscent of my driveway, pedaling big wheel
Burger King crown with a kid's meal
Reminiscent of the frost on the windshield
Sunday evening getting lost in the Springfield Elementary
Reminiscent of penciling, stenciling fast, watching wrestling
Reminiscent of the bell at the end of the lesson
Reminiscent of the smell at the delicatessen
Reminiscent of the dust on the basketball court floor
Hopping and hoping to hit the backboard
Reminiscent of my old life
Reminiscing 'cause I carry it my whole life
[Chorus]
Go back to your roots
Lot to pursue but you got to recoup
Know that, if you grew
Up with somebody they will always be with you
Go back to your roots
Lot to pursue but you got to re...coup
Know that, if you grew
Up with somebody they will always be with you
[Verse 2]
Reminiscent of my high school graduation
Week at the beach with my brothers was amaziing
Crashing parties, relaxed and tardy
And darting at the opportunity to rock 'til 2 or 3
Reminiscent of swimming pools and getting too hyped up
Years prior to being mic'd up
I light up at the very thought of a long drive
With song high volume play, outside all through day
Reminiscent of dorm rooms and lounges to study
The rowdiest buddies who prowl to get lucky
Reminiscent of a crowd that was stunning
Backyard day party was sunny when we depart it was fuzzy, funny
Reminiscent of Russell Hall and Harrington Complex
Open response tests and prospects, some regrets?
Well, I guess but I ain't dwell, so
Thank God I ain't too cool for that safe belt
Reminiscent of Philadelphia peeps with Philadelphia eats
on Philadelphia streets
I miss the smell of a cheese (steak), cannot be re (placed)
And rent was cheap (rate), the day I peaced (wait)
Reminiscent of packing up a van, and stacking up two grand
To up and grab a chance to have what it takes
Or back up and break, to work your back 'til it breaks
Reminisce on all you have to they day, hey
[Chorus]
Go back to your roots
Lot to pursue but you got to recoup
Know that, if you grew
Up with somebody they will always be with you
Go back to your roots
Lot to pursue but you got to re...coup
Know that, if you grew
Up with somebody they will always be with you

[Verse 1]
If I was in the BET Cypher you would see me
In the background initially, locked in and listening
Blue hoodie, ooh should he be present?
Please set it off well, the first spat 16 a verse that
Had the crowd clapping, I mean
Wait, it's pre taped
Assume that they like it in the room
'Cause the hype is through the roof
Who is he, they don't know
Watching on a sofa in a room with your bros
If I was in the BET Cypher I would prep up
Studying various tempos, rest up
Write and memorize, recite and recognize
Any mistakes, record, recite, replay
No time for cliche, no rhyme that he say
She say, they say hip hop heyday
Gotta bring my A game, no Bs and Cs
So I go BET, on the show he BP, and
[Chorus]
If I was in the BET Cypher I would kill it
Mic check 1, mic check 2, get it
If I was in the BET Cypher I would rip it
Mic check 1, mic check 2, kick it
If I was in the BET Cypher I would kill it
Mic check 1, mic check 2, get it
If I was in the BET Cypher I would rip it
Mic check 1, mic check 2, kick it
[Verse 2]
If I was in the BET Cypher it would read
"Wilmington, DE" as my caption, action
I contact camera 1, camera 2
First punchline, yeah it gained a laugh or two
Nothing recycled from a record or mixtape
Masterpiece crafted for specifically this day
This moment, as I hop around with the cordless
Mic, got the hype, under lighting record this
If I was in the BET Cypher I would get
Mad drops from the DJ, cutting up the beat, yay
Replay, replay, eat it up, cheat day
Get it on the fifteenth listen but you keep missing
All the subtleties, mind blown crumbling
Bassline rumbling, no great line stubmling
When I'm done politely pass the mic
To my right, step stage right, yes have a great night
[Chorus]
If I was in the BET Cypher I would kill it
Mic check 1, mic check 2, get it
If I was in the BET Cypher I would rip it
Mic check 1, mic check 2, kick it
If I was in the BET Cypher I would kill it
Mic check 1, mic check 2, get it
If I was in the BET Cypher I would rip it
Mic check 1, mic check 2, kick it

BP, rolling on your tape or CD
You can cc your peeps 'til you read read receipts
Lease, own, neither I'm a grown
Rent paying cat, rapping on his kitchen floor
Listen your feeling it
Saying he nostalgic, or he just a foul kid
with no originality
Man I never doubted me
Back home Thanksgiving sitting in a small state
Said my videos all great, wait
23% of people will appreciate
The other 77, you lucky if it be 7 seconds
Of their attention, zero to no retention
Despite packing my lines like fat people at delicatessens
I gotta get it, double lives I'm living
Sacrifice to grab the mic should copyright my appetite
Megabyte, gigabyte, terabyte, tear the mic
Like if Jordan left Chicago, my mind go zen
Meditation, no medication, back to my floorboards
A break from the population
Pals packing pens and vaping, pacing
Laps outside the venue, I can do, I been to
Too many bars in my life, so I regain my vision
When the start out I write
When the night gets sloppy and the pints get hoppy
I be hopping Irish exiting to hop on my neccessities
Sesame Street, lessons be preached
On the streets of the New York pavement
I'm raising the stages
Most days I just want a fine walk
Wanna grab a speaker, take a seat upon the sidewalk
Make a beat on the fly for the ladies that walk by
And do a new rap, they say who that?
Rapping on a park bench with a coffee cup
Don't stare sonny boy, bet he awfully nuts
Off my rocker, never rocked Roccawear
Never got not prepared, never not dropping rare
Golden nuggets, I spit verse in public
But New Yorkers move by, only catching two lines
I work at a pace commuters envy
Running to they train, close computers in a frenzy
I work ten hours then I work ten hours
Take a stand on your seat, If I fail it's on me
Making a vision the bass it collisions I'm living
Everything I thought about I take you on a walkabout
Penning things, spending weeks sending links
Yet they keep asking BP, "when will we see a wedding ring?"
I say I got priorities in tact
I think my ex girls were just sorry that I rapped
It'd be cool when they meet me, then realize I don't TV
Or have the time for movie, or call myself a foodie
I'm moving, jobs and apartments and cities
Opening, closings, foreclosures and shifting
Opening loads of new roads and committing
Opening shows with dope flows always hitting
Listening to Chris ten years back remixing tracks in my bedroom
Balancing the headroom
Didn't know I'd be opening for him
I was probably at dive bar toasting up a gin
Mind uncluttered, I'm an unsigned non clubber
Club soda drinker and a young Yoda thinker
Upload and tinker all my acapellas
You can cop 'em fellas
Make a remix, reward yourself, hit Taco Bell up
What's he talking 'bout?
I would rather see his Tributes issues so this whole song I skip through
But the real rap cats maybe give respect
Then BP's back to his kitchenette

[Verse 1 - Boy Pierce]
I appeared in this land with just a spear in my hand
I was small, had a calling hop up here and expand
The first level was some greenery and shapes I would lean and I would break
Lose a heart, choose a start, face a boss pursue a fate
Pummeled by some trolls and goblins, duck and roll to stop them
but their blows would pop and send me
Back another board, it was wack I need a sword,
But no cheat code I reload, I'm back to settles scores
So I built up my hit points, my magic to get points
I leap over lava and seek out the saga
I treat all the trauma, round em up and
Power up the crown is up
Seize it for my legion travel regions to the
[Verse 1 - Marcel Owen Alexander]
I just appeared
I may be small
and on this level i may break
Pursue a fate
Then duck and roll
Send me back i need a sword
I gotta build
I gotta leap
And now i treat all the trauma round em up
And power up the crown is up, seize it for my legion travel regions
[Chorus - Boy Pierce]
Whole wide world
Got the keys to the kingdom
Overseas with the wisdom
Guarantee that my rhythm hit the
Whole wide world
Slay the boss in the castle
When we cross final battle
Then I'll walk out and travel to the

Whole...wide...world
Whole...wide...world

And now,
This whole wide world is where i’ll be
What will i find, what shall i see?
There’s so much that i just don’t know
Forge on ahead into this....... whole wide world
[Verse 2 - Boy Pierce]
Now I'm riding the terrain flying high up once a-gain,
Got my crew sitting healthy and my boo living wealthy
Level 99 never settle in my mind so I
Pedal and I climb up the pedestal and find
Almighty weapon so I calm lightly step into the
Castle, satchel, Tackled, wrastled
Down the corridor where Im
grounded through the floor
Round house into my core down
out and through the door
Sword, down at my side I gotta round up and ride, face boss break jaws til I take off
Face off, stop and swing my serious strike,
This is it, take the title disappear in the night, to the
[Verse 2 - Marcel Owen Alexander]
And now i ride
With all my crew
Another level i must climb
And now i walk
Right down the path
I’m falling down i pound i shout
And with my sword
I hit my stride
I’ll swing my strike
This is it, take the title disappear in the night
[Chorus]
[Bridge - Marcel Owen Alexander]
They're close behind All alone in this
keep moving on We'll be fine in this
till nothing's left make the best of this
fight through till dawn world
a princess waits Never Giving up
a ball of light Now are time is up
sun shining through Guess we ended up
the future's bright In this world
Alone we'll find
a way from here.
