Mask On

Life isn’t just hectic, this is beyond it Now the days when it rains feel like the fondest Got the smoke, got the girl, and the vodka tonic And you can have it all if you really want it Prey upon me in a crisis You know my vices My main threats all around and it ain’t Isis Pour the 85 proof where the ice is take another drink and think about why I’m like this Livin’ life like it’s priceless It is More ups and downs than a light switch Makes me wonder how deep is the floor? You don’t see this everyday, but I’ve seen it before Almost everything around is falling I ain’t frantic though Pandemic virus, people dying there’s no antidote Life can go a lot of different ways like a manifold That’s why I don’t like to count a win til the standings post There is no bigger regime on the earth than the people united You can be sure that we got it, they don’t have a shot if we band up and fight it There is no reason to ever believe in the federal government I’m watching the president falling apart on the news, Dammit I’m lovin' it. The movement, the people The good, the evil The simple, the broken The loved, the hopeless The weakest, The killers The beggars, The stealers The losers, the winners The purists, the sinners The movement, the people The good, the evil The simple, the broken The loved, the hopeless The weakest, The killers The beggars, The stealers The losers, the winners The purists, the sinners The people Life isn’t just hectic, this is beyond it Now the days when it rains feel like the fondest Got the smoke, got the girl, and the vodka tonic And you can have it all if you really want it A lot of people wore a mask before they had to Now's the time to make the world understand you It didn’t all work out like it was planned to But I kept going anyway and you can too When I’m feeling salty liked some canned soup I play a hip hop break or a dance loop Find a way to get away before the problems weigh upon you and they start to become hard to even stand through You love Moore if you really know Andrew That’s why I put myself inside of every stanza And the crowd goes bonanza Six feet apart, faces strapped with bandanas 2020 vision while we’re livin' through these trying days Only two ways to survive, is to try and pray Without a map or GPS we still find a way United states without Us isn’t much but A The movement, the people The good, the evil The simple, the broken The loved, the hopeless The weakest, The killers The beggars, The stealers The losers, the winners The purists, the sinners The movement, the people The good, the evil The simple, the broken The loved, the hopeless The weakest, The killers The beggars, The stealers The losers, the winners The purists, the sinners The people

I’ve been tweakin' I’ve been doing too much thinkin' I’ve been drinkin' more than I can handle Gettin' high to fight my battles I wear my polo with a turned down collar Ever since I can remember I been poppin' narcotics First I make the art then I decide if it’s a product Even if I did I wouldn’t tell you that I got it A thing to share opinions, another to be about it The ones who do the least opinions usually the loudest 2020 something, don’t go anywhere that’s crowded It gets around quick if your around it I’ve found it, Kinda funny that the ones we pay to work for us Often do the opposite, if that ain’t broken than it’s porous I write a verse where there’s supposed to be a chorus Then build the bridge between what happens now and what’s before us Grave plots cost so do caskets and the coroners Not to mention what we paid the florist Create what I want give a fuck about a purist Same of what you think unless you paid for my performance The elephant in our collective room's become enormous Ima put this mouse around it’s feet and watch it squirmish

Sharpened my focus Now I can see all the snakes and the locusts Smokin' em down 'til their roaches Shorty was boastin' now she DMs me and she’s getting ghosted I could be sellin' the tongue Three in the bed like 11 to one Three things gold, my bezel is one The others a ring The third pumps blood I’ll be there at 12, I’ll pick you up in the front If she got pumps on, probably gonna pump by one Keep it organic, I really can’t stand it when I see you fakin' the funk So I’m taking a dump on the industry suits and I’m yelling out fuck Trump I get the sum in a lump Dumbin' it down, so you pick it up I picked her up in my truck She got in the back, she knew I wanted to f*** I’m in love with her mind, and even more with her soul But nothing I love more then her serving the coochie and ceding control Swervin' the Highlander in the snow Both about as high as we can go Lost some racks off of cancelled gigs Made it back takin' chance and risks If I do it gotta do it big I’ve been settin' standards since a kid I done kept it true from the rip We smoked then she blew like a Crip The hustle ain’t optional, it’s in my blood My pops still owns a business, he started that at 21 Daughter in a charter school We’re tryin' to teach her smart is cool Water wings in the pool coolin' California rolls came from Jurin Wife twists the tool to get the nut off Disrespect me once you get cut off Fuck 12, fuck the undercovers Snitches roam the streets, they're among us So watch where you hang, and mind who you hang with I prolly don’t think that she’s sexy unless English ain’t her first language Abolish ICE, country built by immigrants Border patrol taking children and innocence I’m gettin' sick when I look at the images Feelin' my patriotism diminishing I’m proud of the people who stand for our freedoms and fight for our rights She was just standing there peaceful, Why the fuck she get shot in the eye? Dirty cops can all suffer and die They say there's good cops, thats a lie If you’re really good, do what’s right Join us on the frontline and fight Feds are getting thirsty need a Sprite Pulling protesters over over spite Wolek and Jensen are petty as Tom Fuck the cops and they fuckin' moms Teaching their ways to their racist sons It’s a marathon, don’t think the race is won Lighten up, she gives face for fun Said she want’s it now, impatient much? Not one for complacence but I do what she says while I’m chasin' butt Love a good girl, but soft spot for sluts So I love her more when she lets me cut Prolly should chill, I’m gettin' nasty All of this money I made off of DraftKings Thank God for the athletes So I’m taking my winnings and buying up stock Buy it low and sell it at the top Never give my heart up to a thot I make it hard to sleep on me, cot So many rappers are good as me, not I’m coming out strong you like it or not

about

At the end of 2020 I wrote three songs that I feel do a good job of summarizing the past year from my perspective.
The 1st song "The Movement" features scratches from Watch City's resident DJ/Producer Kasz and chunky guitar riffs from Nolan Sinnott of The Waterfall King over a driving rhythm section that I programmed on my Macbook Pro. I actually recorded this song with a mask on due to Covid regulations in the studio!
Next up is the Angrous-produced "Wrong" and the self-produced single "F12" to round out a short but sweet project of timely material.

Check out the "Mask On" bundle in the merch section to get yourself the music alongside a limited edition Watch City face mask and some other goodies.

Stay safe,
Moore
