If you don't know Go ahead and ask about him Voltaire Slapadelic getting Higher than a mountain Driving hella fast you might Think I'm Captain Falcon Drop an EP or three And then I drop an album Studio chef no calories are counted Each beat from me is at Least three thousand I don't tone it down See me sing louder You can guess who V Scene Pete Townsend Please believe me V Can't be doubted Slap got the talent for shouting He touts it Sleeping on my sound now Creeping on my SoundCloud All you hear is Slap All around you like surround sound I can't leave the crowd til they're letting all Their wows out Rollin up a pound now 580 heading downtown Fucked around and found out Life is but a game and Eventually you foul out Showing up late even Later than tomorrow is Clothes say hey you gotta dollar Can I borrow it No I'm not broke I just don't got Any cash I Need something that rolls Into a tube like super fast You're gonna get it right back That's a promise and a pact Signed by Voltaire So you know it's a fact Beat by Voltaire So you know it's a slap And I don't give a shat You don't agree or think it's wack What I write comes at you fast Leave the beat up in a bag Craft a masterpiece From a single piece of trash Who amongst you can Stop me answer that Life is throwing fastballs Watch me hit them back y'all Don't ever see what matters I don't even try to match socks Fill my lungs with cash crop Lit much like a matchbox Watching all these fools go down Like a bad stock
2.	Pretty 02:16	lyrics	buy track
The party doesn't stop Sometimes I wish it would Ran up out of serotonin There is no more feeling good Should be happy I got all I want Hella privileged healthy marriage Look at all this stuff Still I do these drugs Feels like all the time Use or abuse where Exactly do we draw the line Waking up still high Shaking til it's beer time Maybe I should take a break But not right now these weird times Got me in a weird mind Everyday I think about the future But I fear time Turning off the lights On the stage See my real side Stay awake all night Though I'm real tired In the pines in the pines Where the sun never shines I will shiver through the night But still feign a smile I can still walk a mile Jump around and yell loudly But right now I'm stuck Thinking bout the World around me My mind is Empty My thoughts stopped Coming The Earth is Pretty The world is Ugly
3.	Just Saying 01:55	lyrics	buy track
Voltaire Slapadelic at my house Right now Glass of red wine And some lockdown loud Hopes of a bright future Toss them out Just sit back and watch It all falling down The whole damn world is Out of time I'm out a job and I'm Out my mind Thinking bout doing something Out of line But not out of character Cuz that's my style Heart speeds up Time slows down Try to keep focus but my Sight blurred out It's a bit fucked up But I like it how I feel hella sick And a might burned out Don't worry though I Got this Day and night Making beats Till I'm exhausted Forget to eat Writing raps Till I'm unconscious Pour some more wine And drink till I'm Obnoxious I don't even know I'm just saying I don't even know I'm just saying Voltaire Slapadelic Believe everything that's said Of me Nothing is a rumor only Legends cuz I'm legendry A thousand miles an hour like Amphetamine A deep dark pit like some ketamine all screwed up like That codeine promethazine Slow motion when I'm Rolling up the melody Crumble up some leaves Flick the bic Then inhale the peace I don't trust my doctor So this is therapy Saw this coming for A while now it's done End of the world but hey We had a good run Just stay at home and Play some games Maybe it'll all blow away Maybe we'll all go insane Could be what it takes To see change I don't even know I'm just saying I don't even know I'm just saying
4.	All I Know 01:40	lyrics	buy track
Not old not young Not wise not dumb Remain as ashes Not rising up Fourteen billion years ago Arrived as dust Hella bright but still feel that I could lighten up Voltaire should be smart as Even Carl Sagan physicist But I been having problems Since I rocked the Sega Genesis THC descending on my brain Invade the premises Long since lost the plot Forgot just what the premise is I could walk a thousand miles And maintain social distances A scowl a smirk a frown a smile I don't know what the difference is Maybe you can tell I'm horribly pissed Not mad just more drunk than I normally get Walking toward the light until It twirls and it spins And I don't even like this World it can end All I know is All I know is It only gets weirder Goin forward Impossible to do what It is you're supposed to All I know is I Don't know shit
5.	Not Necessarily Stoned 02:10	lyrics	buy track
So nervous I shake I'm hurried I'm late Stare at the world while I Worry it's fake Can't see through the smoke That fills up my room Don't know what to do As I'm lowering to the Floor with the angst So much more as of late And I sort of just wait For a glorious break One fleeting moment Where there's more than just Hate Already on my third Xanax today Gaining some weight still Wasting away Wasting each day with Drugs and some games Name was Voltaire but it's Mud For today All too aware of too many things Don't know what I know But I know what I mean No dead bread boxers No hokey beliefs Just about ten dollars And folded receipts Not necessarily stoned But manageable This stuff's effect On my mood is fuckin Tangible Drugs derived from plants but the Food is mostly animals I won't stop or I can't Who the fuck even cares anymore Like Fuck Eminem buy my EP He already made it I'm on the brink Someone just push me I'm close to the edge again Locked in the studio Smoking my medicine Don't feel ok don't know That I ever did I know that I'm wrong I can See all the evidence But my brain doesn't make The right levels of elements Not quite broken or damaged Just hella shit I don't practice anything What I got is not relevant I'll just hit the bottle go right to the Bed again Outgoing shy Talk a lot but Reticent Every single microsecond an hour long Or five some days I say we slow it down Let the world fly away Not necessarily stoned But manageable This stuff's effect On my mood is fuckin Tangible Drugs derived from plants but the Food is mostly animals I won't stop or I can't Who the fuck even cares anymore
6.	Tripping on Acid 02:24	lyrics	buy track
Tripping on acid Sipping on absinthe Doing fat dab hits Feeling fantastic Lysergic acid diethylamide Sugar cubes taking me Out my mind Synthetic Detective Nick Valentine Seeing shapes coloring Out the lines Everything fucked And it's never been right It's why I stay Burj Khalifa That's high Ask me the reason no reason That's why My eyes are all wide I stare at the sky I see through the clouds To the stars like it's night Seeing the grid with the Squiggly lines Become the reason The planets align Both random defined Both phantom in sight Run your hands through Your hair Remember to breathe Float through the air And listen to V I mean physical and mental And literally Now excuse me A sec while I refill my drink Tripping on acid Sipping on absinthe Doing fat dab hits Feeling fantastic On that I just don't know Smoking Je ne sais pas Ich weiss es nicht No se no shit Get paid in beer Get paid in chips Getting stimulus checks From the government Fire water the water on fire The floor is moving The walls won't stay quiet It's really fucked up But I really do like it Bring me some drugs And I really will try them Off of the wagon And into the highlands This land is Your land This land is my land An ounce is decreasing in mileage Went from two weeks To maybe like five days March on the police With urgency Risking the Rona Risking them hurting me Pouring some milk on my face Then eating a sandwich from IBs In Berkeley
