Y'all

Weston Super Mare

The light, it creeps in
I got the feeling
That you're not around That feeling eats me

If only briefly
Would you come around?

So I’m coming down
And I’d love to see ya
So help me god, help me Jesus There's joy in greeting
And there's grief in leaving
I couldn’t wait another evening

So I’m coming home to you, my dear Home to make it clear
That I can see it now
And I can’t live without

Having you right here
In Weston-Super-Mare That’s where I figured out That I’m coming down

And I’d love to see ya
So help me god, help me Jesus There's joy in greeting
And there's grief in leaving
I couldn’t wait another evening

Would you come around? I’m coming down Babayyyyyy
I’m coming down

I’m coming down

And I’d love to see ya
So help me god, help me Jesus There's joy in greeting
And there's grief in leaving
I couldn’t wait another evening

So I’m coming home to you, my dear

Home to make it clear That I can see it now And I can’t live without Having you right here
In Weston-Super-Mare That’s where I figured out That I’m coming down

Half Two

Do you have to take me out of place?
First, it's something, then it's nothing, then it’s crushing either way It was half two when I noticed my mistake
And I apologized with cap in hand, there’s nothing else to say That’s when I asked you
I’ll never forget the words you said, you told me love is war
It’s Difficult but Impossible to Forget

Thank God I haven’t yet

And you’ll laugh, but as you pass
I still have to catch my breath
And I still have that damn flat from when we drove out west Women don’t ask, but if you had, it’s a resounding yes
And as we went down those old bends, thank god we sat abreast I mean, we had two/too, but we still have two left

Maybe I’m running from something
I’m not confronting
And if you run into me, don’t go making assumptions

There’s battle
There’s war
There’s the little wins
But peace matters more over everything
If you look for forks in the kitchen, I know you’ll find them in a minute but I

I’ve had to realize
It doesn’t even matter whose wrong If you fail to make things right
So bite your tongue a little bit

The Band

“You can”
“You can quit anything to be fair”
“It's all- It's all here, that's all it is”
“But the question is do you want to quit “No”
“And that's fine”

You were begging to leave
And I was dying to go back
As you were having a moment
I was having a fag
Friends are doing karaoke
They sound just like the band
“Now I'm falling asleep, and she's calling a cab”
You were begging to leave
And I was dying to go back
As you were having a moment
I was having a fag
Friends are doing karaoke
They sound just like the band
“While he’s having a smoke and she's taking a drag”

“Listen this lifestyle, is tough”

We stumbled back
At a quarter past
I made you laugh
It's the little things
I bummed a fag off a Chinese man And every drag tasted like cinnamon I have learned with time

To be understood you must understand
So I'm listening
I walked you home and we sang along to “there she goes” And I forgot the lyrics

You were begging to leave And I was dying to go back
As you were having a moment I was having a fag
Friends are doing karaoke

They sound just like the band
“Now I'm falling asleep, and she's calling a cab”
You were begging to leave
And I was dying to go back
As you were having a moment
I was having a fag
Friends are doing karaoke
They sound just like the band
“Now I'm falling asleep, and she's calling a cab” “While he’s having a smoke and she's taking a drag”

Said I was taking a sip
But I was knocking it back
Said I was trying to quit
But now I'm quitting at that
I made a Freudian slip
And you were taken aback
Cause’ they were giving ya lip but I was giving it back To back
Back
Back
To back
We won't be getting to that
The sweat is washing my hands
The blood is rushing
We already know that it's over, it's over
So let it be okay a little bit longer
And then

You were begging to leave
And I was dying to go back
As you were having a moment
I was having a fag
Friends are doing karaoke
They sound just like the band
“Now I'm falling asleep, and she's calling a cab”
You were begging to leave
And I was dying to go back
As you were having a moment
I was having a fag
Friends are doing karaoke
They sound just like the band
“Now I'm falling asleep, and she's calling a cab” “While he’s having a smoke and she's taking a drag”

Yaya Touré

Ya were in the cotswolds boring Put a million in a Voxhaul Corsa Of course I did
(Course I did)

Of course I did (Of course I did)

There's no crying in the cotswalds
We came up from nothing, put millions in a Voxhaul And I've said it once before ay
But I thank god I'm not y'all
We go on tour ay
Back of the Jersey it say Yaya
I guess I just expected more ay
I just can't believe they got y'all

Uh
I just can't believe it
Uh and now I can't unsee it
Try to put myself in your shoes
I just can't conceive it
I'm sure you had your reasons
I've learned to change the things I can And with the rest to leave it

Of course I did
It's not like they gave us any option
And we couldn't even change it if we wanted My accountant asked me if I made the charges I said
Of course I did
And god strike me down right now if I didn't
I can't help making off with my winnings
Throw the three up before it gets- (three up) True bliss is gone a minute
If you blink twice right now you might miss it

throw the-
Throw the three up

Throw the three up

Cause there's no crying in the Cotswolds
We came up from nothing, put millions in a Voxhaul And I've said it once before, ay
But I thank god I'm not y'all
We go on tour ay
Back of the Jersey it say Yaya
I guess I just expected more ay
I just can't believe they got y'all
I just can't believe it

Of course I did

Spinning Around

There's a crack in everything
Cause’ maybe that's the only way the light gets in And you were spinning around
There's a certain pain in us
So let's take it as it comes
You were trying to make a joke
I was trying not to say too much

And you were spinning around And you were spinning around

The irony in letting go
Is that it makes you come to grips
There's so much life in love
But what comes after it
You said that “nobody knows”
I didn't know what to make of it
So I made a bet again
On the same losing horse
The same one I always did
As I'm watching you spin
And there's a crack in everything
But nobody told you
“as light gets stronger, you start to see it in every single thing”

And you were spinning around Are you still spinning around? Are you still spinning around? Oh

Are you still spinning around?

Old Freight Train

So we went down to have a few
At the old run down saloon
And we came out with a plan or two And nothing else to lose

I told the boys “here's a ticket out of our never ending blues” So kiss your wife and grab your knife
Cause We've got work to do

I used to be a working man
I toiled the soil and dirt
And my father was the betting type
He had a funny way with words
He told me son
“It's not the gun, it's the one who draws it first” I told him pa let's break the law
It's time to get to work

So we traveled south
We're Tulsa bound
We're about a mile out
And we heard a sound I said aloud “Boys were riding out”

We did the job, we hurried off
We were quick to get away
So now the job is don't get caught And watch every word you say

We were on the run for a couple months Till the law had finally came
They said you're through
You're time is due

And we know all of your names
There was four of us and eight of them They thought they'd won the game

But pa had taught me how to draw Since I was only eight
As there bleeding out
They scream and shout

“God damn they got away”
And that is how you would go about Robbing an old freight train

The Front

Flyen

“Open up it's the goddam police”

Caught you in a rush
To you it's just a crutch but I was flying I said “Where'd you get this from?” And I knew I said too much
When you went silent
(She went quiet)

And you and I went down to raise the flag
‘Cause I was down to drive if you drove back
Yeah you and I and us and them and all of that and everything
And that is when I noticed at your shakey hands, your nervous glance and

I hope that I'm wrong about this
Why are your arms around him?
I make molehills out of mountains
But let's not talk about it ‘cause this rooms far too crowded

You caught me in a rut
And simply I had nothing for ya That's the thing with us
We plant our trees in empty forests

And simply put it might destroy us
Simple things have lacked enjoyment
As I fall backwards, I-
I tell myself I'm moving forwards
Even the way I say I love ya
Just annoys ya
Make a choice because it's
You and I and us and them and all of that and everything
And that is when I noticed at your shakey hands, your nervous glance and

And I hope that I'm wrong about this I pray to God about it
I made a song about it!

I hope, I hope that I am wrong about this
So why oh why are your arms still around him?
I still tend to make molehills out of mountains
So let's not talk about it ‘cause this rooms far too crowded (It's so full)
Yeah let's not talk about
‘Cause this rooms far too crowded
(It's so full)
Yeah this rooms-

The Troubles

“I don’t mean- I don’t like to sound like I’m bragging but-”

B- But we never really are
No we never really wanted anything but
We get money like the troubles, blow it at the mall And I still barely even know what cufflinks are but We get money like the troubles, blow it at the mall We get money like the troubles, blow it on a car

And I hate to be this way
I was taught that it was rude and
My momma raised me better but
My brothers raised me too
I’m in Torin like Henry
I’m in Barca like him too
That’s the trouble with consumption, I still struggle with it too
But still blow money, like the troubles, because we have nothing else to do We have nothing else to do
We have nothing else to do
We have none-

Two hands in the air for the best ones Two hands down now for the rest of ‘em Already too much in her septum
Said slow down, girl

Take a rest, hun
Take a second
Take a breath, hun
My bro shoot corn out the Vespa
Back out the weapon, back up your bredren The last album you dropped was depressing Not one sad song on the record

Must be the yes men

B- But we never really are
No we never really wanted anything but
We get money like the troubles, blow it at the mall And I still barely even know what cufflinks are but ‘Cause get money like the troubles, blow it at the mall

Two hands in the air for the best ones And keep them there for the rest of it

This life ain’t fair make the best of it What’s left of it see as you go-

We get money like the troubles, blow it at the mall We get money like the troubles, blow it at a bar We get money like the troubles, blow it at the mall We get money like the troubles, blow it at a bar We get money like the troubles, blow it at the mall

Crisis

I’ve found it strange when those I love are more than fine to walk the line But now i’ve realized that something more is nothing more sometimes I've had my cake and ate it too since the beginning of my life
I've told the truth, I've told the inbetween I've found no way to lie

I'm lying
I'm in crisis
I need something more
And even if I find it I would likely leave for something more

I'm half a world away from everyone that I will ever know I thought that this is what I wanted and
I’d never think of home
I feel it now more than ever in a way I've never known

I'll tell you now and I'll be honest Because you know I've been lying I'm in crisis
I need something more

And even if I find it I would likely leave for something more

I don't know what I want but
I just know that I want it
I don't know where this weights from But please just get it off me
It's not like I see you lesser
I've always wanted better
And I know you know you know me And we both know that I hate to lie

I'm lying
I'm in crisis
I need something more
And even if I find it I would likely leave for something more

Asheville

I left my home
I left my home
To join the army
To join the army
The day I left
The day I left
My momma cried
My momma cried

I left my home, everyone was weird, I went back
Partially ‘cause of the love, partially ‘cause of the tax
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck
Don’t ask me where I’m at
Accountant told me this is just life, everything returns into ash

They named the city after me
So every single time I’m home
I think about doing some things that I should not say in a song
I’ve done some things that I’m not proud of, not at all
I meant exactly what I said, but the way I said it’s

I said it ah ah
I said it ah ah

I said it uh uh
I meant it uh uh
I said it uh uh
I meant it uh uh
I said it uh uh
I meant it uh uh

There was a time, some years ago
Where I would hate this shit uh
‘Cause I couldn’t take this shit uh
Said fuck this town
It turned around
You couldn’t make this shit up
I made my peace
I plant my feet
Too deep
Not moving for none
They’ll build a statue of me trust

Wrong, Wrong, Wrong, Wrong

They named the city after me
So when I’m home know it’s up
They see the benz, they see the rims
They already know that it’s us
I find some comfort in the fact it's not the same as it was
All this silver in my cup
Frankly, it moves slow as fuck

Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck
I should've never left it
Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck
I should've never said it
Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck
Take four away from seven
Only person on my street with zero college credits

For real
(Are you for real)
Every single time I'm home
Think about doing-
(Are you for real)
I should not do that at all
Shouldn't even be a thought
But some how it always is
Guess that's just the way I live
Only person in my neighborhood
Who's nightstand got a grip
And I don't think that I'll use it
All my neighbors old as shit

Appalachia

Almeda Riddle:
You will leave this house carpenter
And come along with me, me, me, me
I'll take you where the grass grows green
On the banks of the sweet, banks of the sweet,

White escalades, appalachian mountains
It’s only right, the only person to have come up out ‘em
You either do it or you sit there and just talk about it
I’m getting weird looks every time I leave Buncombe County

Theres very few of Y’all I trust
Even less of Y’all I love
I bow my head to only one
That facade that Y’all put up
You might fool them
But just not us
That facade just isn’t you
And moreover, it's a crutch

So ask yourself, what do you really do it for?
Do you feel it in your core? Do you really feel it?
Humble myself for the lord
Could've ended up like Y’all
But my momma raised me better
Father said that less is more

126 down I-26
It shows my age, I can’t drive stick
I’m getting so t’d you can see
I just had to shout out my
140 down I-40
It’s like 8 hours to the coast
If someone asks if I do music, chances is I'm saying no
Because I'm scared that they might judge
They take one look at the car, probably think I’m selling-
Or that my daddy paid it
Or that I’m late on payments
Funny part is I bought the house and car without touching my savings

Interviewer: Are you surprised to be famous now?
Popcorn Sutton: “I don’t give a god damn, how famous I am, or whatever. It don’t matter to me ‘cause im bout’ dead anyways, so what do I give a shit. And anybody who don’t like the way I do, shit, fuck ‘em.”

Nouveau Riche

Dress code say cocktail chic, like we even know what the hell that means
Slowsilver03
We just don’t fit in places like these

‘Cause we’re nouveau riche
In a 2-door beam
I used to watch my brother siphon gasoline, uh
Now we don’t need to
We should probably leave, uh
They dont like my ass and I don’t like them either
‘Cause we’re nouveau riche
Droptop Z3
We made something out of nothing, you’re nothing like me
Slowsilver03
Not for the weak, uh
They don’t like how I act, and I don’t like it either

Oh no
Y’all ain’t never put in work
Y’all ain’t never put in work
And it shows
Y’all was hoping for the best
I was preparing for the worst
I know
That Y’all made something out of something, I made something out of nothing
On bro
Y’all made something out of something, I made something out of nothing on

And that’s on me
I got people that I love from the mountains to the keys
Double S 0 3
The whole room go quiet when my brother start to reach and he reaching
Dress code black tie, and the valet outside
What the fuck is that even?
Things they say when they think you’re one of them
You just wont believe it
I don’t even need it

Oh no
Slowsilver03
Y’all ain’t never put in work
Y’all ain’t never put in work
And it shows
Y’all was hoping for the best
I was preparing for the worst
I know
That Y’all made something out of something, I made something out of nothing
On bro
Y’all made something out of something, I made something out of nothing on

Fuck

A: Did I poke you in the eye? Sorry
T: Like straight in the eye (laughs)
T: I thought it was the other way?
A: It can be the other way, it's better with the other hand
T: This is our stop

Is there a word in my mother tongue?
Have I passed it by? Heard it when I was young?
‘Cause I just can’t explain the way I feel for once
And I don’t know
And I don’t know
And I don’t know

I can always find the phrase
But when I look into your-
Fuck, fuck
I just don’t know what to say
Fuck, fuck

I’m just happy that you’re here
It would kill me if you left
If you didn’t want to stay
Who am I to interject?
Rather live than die for you
There’s no certainty in death
Certainly, I found you now, and I’d find you in the next
and I’d find you in the-

Sweltering heat and the Carolina summer
You learn to find peace in the pieces of each other
And theres
And there's a beauty in the fact
That if you feel it once, you can never take it back
You're everything I lack
No, you’re everything I have
I could try explaining that
But I don’t know

I can always find the phrase
But when I look into your-
Fuck, fuck
I just don’t know what to say
Fuck, fuck

Fuck
I can always find the phrase
But when I look into your-
Fuck, fuck
I just don’t know what to say
Fuck, fuck
Fuck
Fuck, fuck

Bluebirds

Asheville flight to Austin
Bluebirds fly in flocks and
I’m one call away if you need to talk, and
I understand in whatever way I can
Don’t let the things you’ve lost define the things you have

It sounds strange, but you've had a hell of a time, are you feeling alright?
As things change, you'll start to realize it gets better with time
I will say that she ain’t the love of your life if it’s only sometimes
Either way, you’ve had one hell of a night. Are you feeling alright?

Warsaw to London
Warsaw from Prague
I understand, man, I’ve felt it all
The person that you love ain’t the person that they are
The person that you love ain’t the person that they are
What else can I say except some played-out cliche
About how right now it’s hard, but it gets better every day
What else can I say except some played-out cliche
About how right now it’s hard, but it gets better if you wait
So just wait

Veni Vidi Vici

Veni, Vidi, Vici

Get to it if it please me
Nothing worth doing easy
I came, I saw, was not a fan of it at all
I would rather kill myself than end up anything like Y’all

Is it-
Is it the wealth disconnect?
Or is it simply the respect?
Y’all would let your brothers die if it meant a chance to get ahead
This girl think I was born in 2003
She-
She-
She don’t know about the set
She don’t know about us yet
She asked what I do for work, and I just got up and I left
Protect my own innocence
Protect my own, in a sense, I feel at home in a benz
I feel it all inside my chest
I came, I saw, I fucking left

But I’m still cool off everything
If I walk into your house, I’ll probably ruin everything
I’m a whole different person when I get nervous
And I’m on my phone again, checking the weather, yeah
Or even better yet, I’ll just leave at 10:00
I’ll just leave at 10:00

If you see us out in public, it probably wasn’t us
'Cause we don’t leave the house
Especially unannounced
No, we don’t leave the house unless we have to now
‘Cause we don't leave the house
It’s not what we’re about
No, we don’t leave the house
Unless we're out of town, town, town

Foreigner

Get to tripping ‘bout the bros
Spent a thousand on this coat
This shit is foreign uh

We in EU so much we look foreign, uh
And every time I’m home, they think I’m foreign, uh
The funny part is that I’m from Florida
Tattoos on both my hands, my mom ignore it, uh

To some kids back home
I’m Jesus Christ to them
And if they saw me die
They think I’d rise again
They think the life I live is the life for them
The funny part is that I might die for them

Forreal

Little room, no view
I was trying to make it right, baby
Lord knows I was trying to kill the time, baby
I don’t deserve it, but just know that I try, baby
Just know that I try
Would you just say something?
Is this all too much? Is this the end of us? And
I just went back home and I was so fucked up
That I just couldn’t function
I know it’s all my fault
Somehow, it always is
I just can't break the cycle
It repeats again
Went and bought a rifle, what a hateful thing
Am I nothing more than the things I did?
The man that I’ve become reflects in my actions
And I hate it
Oh girl, I hate it

Would you just say something?
Or is it all too much and
Whats the point of love if it don’t come with trust and I just fucked it up man
And I’m still trying to see it through
The more you have, the more you have to do
Every shade of blue
Never been a betting man
But I would bet the house I’d lose
I’d bet the house I-

I know it’s all my fault
Somehow, it always is
I just can't break the cycle
It repeats again
Went and bought a rifle, what a hateful thing
Am I nothing more than the things I did?
The man that I’ve become reflects in my actions
And I hate it
Oh girl, I hate it

It Is What It Is

Ay, it is what it is, you must accept while you can though
I coulda played, I coulda balled just like my dad, but, huh
I just couldn’t learn to pass though
This bitch god damn man
Y’all couldn’t hold a candle for real
Cracked a joke inside the function, it didn’t really land tho
Like, why nobody laugh though for real?
Y’all wouldn’t understand though
I’m laughing like it is but this shit is kinda sad though, for real.

Y’all can’t, Y’all can’t, Y’all can’t do the shit I’ve done
Michelle Yeoh, I couldn’t cope
It’s all happening at once
Huh, huh
It either doesn’t or it does
If I said it then I meant it
If I meant it then it’s done
Huh, done yeah
Peacefulness in love yeah
Fool me once it’s fine but fool me twice and it’s fuck ya
Shinzo Abe we brought homemade guns yeah
Walk into the bank and they greet me by the gov yeah

It is what it is, you must accept while you can though
I coulda played, I coulda balled just like my dad, but, huh
I just couldn’t learn to pass though
This bitch god damn man
Y’all couldn’t hold a candle for real
Cracked a joke inside the function, it didn’t really land tho
Like, why nobody laugh though for real?
Y’all wouldn’t understand though
I’m laughing like it is but this shit is kinda sad though, for real.

Y’all can’t do the shit i’ve done
I’m Chicharito in a way, I score for fun
I was a kid and you weren’t half the man I was
I had 100k before I could even-
Huh
Best believe it
When I walk through my hometown, it’s like a special event
Started winning so much it started losing meaning
God, what a feeling
Y’all wouldn’t get it even

For real.

Modafinil

It's either something that I said
Or something I did
That just hasn't happened yet
it will, oh shit
When you see me, bow your head
It's either happening or it's about to happen next

Oh, stop, start, going
I just need a moment
I broke it
It's well within control and
modafinil
I just need to focus
Stop, start, going
I just need a moment
Stop, start, going
I just need a moment
just need a second
out of my control and
modafinil
I just need to focus
Stop start, go in
I just need a moment

Normally, I’d take some time away, but
I feel some type of way
So I’ve got the time today
I, I
I don’t want to have to lie to your face
I don’t want to have to lie to your face

либо это что-то я сказал
либо что-то сделал
чего еще не случилось
uh well oh shit
слышь опусти свои глаза
когда ты увидишь меня
i know i cause lot of stress

stop, start, going
I just need a moment
I broke it
It's well within control and
modafinil
I just need to focus
Stop, start, going
I just need a moment
Stop, start, going
I just need a moment
just need a second
out of my control and
modafinil
I just need to focus
Stop, start, go in

Just sometimes, I think I wish that you would
Stop, start posing
You caught me in my moment
Drown it out in rosé
I’m trying not to show it
But I’m broken
I can’t even focus
How am I going to give you what you want?
And I know I said i’d never do you wrong
But I never said I want you here for long
I’m not saying that I’m playing you a long
Just something I think I wish that you would

Polo Ponies

Polo Ponies, alfalfa hay
I stand by what I do, but I don’t do half what I say
There’s something about you that I’m struggling to explain
And I’m drunk as all can be

But I still love you the same
And you can take the boy out his home, but he'll struggle to find a replacement
Was never one to be graceful, you’ve never been nothing but gracious
Was never one to give thanks but I want for not, I want for not

Polo Ponies lined up and the dying days of youth
Can’t stand cigarettes
My hands crave something to do
They crave something else it's true
And I’m drunk
Drunk as all can be
All I’m wanting for is you

Wanting for is you

Polo Ponies played out and my fathers driving home
I light a cigarette, out the window, I let it go
I thank god for everything, but I thank god for you the most
I thank god for everything, I just had to let you know I want for not

i love you and it sounds stupid

Sin begets sin is how it was sold to me
God willing, would you get old with me?
Not know with me, intertwine your soul with me
I’m leaving, you know how it go with me

Do I even need to say it?
You know exactly what I’m saying
So before they all get home I just wanted you to know

I love you and it sounds stupid
Truth is, I don’t like feeling clueless
But fuck it, for you I’d play the fool and
I’d play the fool and
I’d play the fool for you

What if I stay up would I be yours tonight?

Tea by the leaves, oh god
Milan Kundera in Prague
West of the border and
South of the boundary line
Everything is pointless
Until you realize that it's not
Everyone wants more, would you be fine doing less with me
Be honest, would you meet ya end with me
To be honest, you know how it gets with me
I'm leaving, repeating what you said to me

Do I even need to say it?
(you know)
You know exactly what I’m saying
So, before they all get home, I just wanted you to know

I love you and it sounds stupid
Truth is, I don’t like feeling clueless
But fuck it, for you I’d play the fool and
I’d play the fool and
I’d play the fool for you

Crying, Laughing, Loving, Lying

Crying, Laughing, Loving, Lying
I'm far too busy to requite it
We don't have long, so be concise and
"I love you, but I worry that sometimes I'm just wasting your time."

But what's the harm in that
I bought you something nice
You said I shouldn't have
Jeff told me once or twice
I just need to relax
But i just fucking can't
But i just fucking can't
But i just fucking can't
But what's the harm in that
I bought you something nice
You said I shouldn't have
Jeff told me once or twice
I just need to relax

But i just fucking can't
But i just fucking can't
Go ahead light up another
Before we have to go to sleep
Before we both remember when you had a go at me
I know at least
That you’re something to the ones that love ya
But girl, you're something else to me
Something that I can’t explain
Something that’s just out of reach
I know at least
That from the second that we met I loved ya
But still I-
"I love you, but I worry that sometimes I'm just wasting your time."

But i just fucking can't
But i just fucking can't
But i just fucking can't
But i just fucking can't
But i just fucking can't
But i just fucking can't

Weird

You might miss the accent
But fuck, We still from the country
My friends are really quite lovely
Still gonna die if you touch me
Slowsilver03
Throw it up ‘fore it gets ugly
Throw it up ‘fore we do something
Why in the world are you clutching
It’s weird

Y’all weird
So weird

Y’all weird
Y’all strange
Y’all changed
Even after all that you did I never showed you nothing but grace
Be safe
Never wished harm on no one
But please get the fuck out my face
Please get the fuck out my-

Please we don’t talk about the last night
Of course we’d take a CL5 over a flashlight
It’s weird
We don’t talk about the last night
Of course we’d take a CL5 over a flashlight
We’re tryna do him bad right?

It’s weird
Y’all strange
It’s weird
Y’all strange

Bennie & Kay

Your wife says that she miss you and she waits for death to hold you once again
Your son just doesn’t get it, I completely understand
That you made a vow that you’d stay with her till the end
Do you worry if she’s safe?
Can you see us from up there?
I wish that I knew
I love her, but you deserve her more than I do
I hope my children act just like you
I wish that I knew if it was
Better upstairs
Is there a bedroom up there?
If you want for anything, does it come to you prepared?
Does it feel like home? Or do you not even care
Because everyone's happy, I wish that you were here, I do

Your wife said that she miss you now she’s with you it’s for the best so I’m told
It’s selfish, pop-pop. I did not want her to go
And now your son is getting old
I love him more than life itself
And I just hope to god he knows
That he’s the reason I’m around
In everything I do Father, I hope to make you proud
In everything that I’m about
Grief makes one born again, I’ve got to feel it out
My mother's crying in the crowd
A quiet in the loud
Life’s finite, I know
But I feel it all sometimes
And it feels all fickle
Pain is no wall in life
More so an obstacle
There’s so much pain in love
But there's so much love to show
Trust me I already know
I already know that it’s
Better upstairs
Is there a bedroom up there?
If you want for anything, does it come to you prepared?
Does it feel like home? Or do you not even care
Because everyone's happy, I wish that you were here, is it
Better upstairs
If everybody else there
If you want for anything, does it come to you prepared?
Does it feel like home? Or do you not even care
Because everyone's happy, I wish that you were here, I do.

Benito Gutierrez: “As soon school finished the kids, the dogs were loaded in the car and off she would go for the summer months with me. To you, Kay, to my family, and to all my friends in polo, which has been my lifeblood for half a century. I thank you for honoring me tonight.

In the later part of 2024 I moved home to North Carolina because I couldn’t seem to find peace in a city. In the past I had hated living here, it was boring, It was slow paced, it was not a place where I felt peace. I realized that It wasn’t the place that I had the problem with it was myself, I wanted more and the more I got the less I felt I had. With this move came a lot of time to think, about myself, about others, about everything. I sort of came to the conclusion that perhaps the classic musician “lifestye” wasn't for me i.e., I didn’t derive enjoyment from the “lifestyle” that making music can offer. It sounds quite silly but I was raised here and maybe I’ll die here. As I get older I realize my own flaws and flaws of the ones I love. This album is called Y’all because at its inception, I wanted it to be less about me, and somewhere in that process, I think it became the most “me” album I’ve ever made. I hope you enjoy it.

“Y’all” was made between October 7th 2024 - April 24th 2025 with my friends Jeff, John, Ralph, and Jasper. It was recorded in Big Lake, Alaska - Nicasio, California and Asheville, North Carolina.

I’m going to write a bit about each song so hopefully you can understand where I was coming from a bit better.

Thanks for reading and listening

Asheville
(made in Alaska)

Upon returning to my hometown, I had this new found confidence mixed with a bit of shame for making ‘Fuck this town’ because in the end it actually is quite a nice place. I picked this song to be the first single because 1: it's a crazy song and 2: i think it quite sums up a lot of the way I was feeling when I first started making this album.

Appalachia
(made in Asheville)

We made this song after my show in Asheville. I think after that show was the most puffed up I’ve ever felt in my life. To have so many people in my hometown was bound to make me talk with quite a self-aggrandizing tone. I’m sure someone else has come up out of the Appalachian Mountains, but no one who can make a song like this. Also, shoutout to the guy who made the Popcorn Sutton documentary for letting us use his clip, Rest In Glory legend.

Nouveau Riche
(made in Asheville)

Pronounced NOO-VO REESH, since no one ever knows. It means new money. I had recently visited a few places that had a lot of money and I had this terrible feeling of resentment towards the people I met. Nouveau riche tends to be used as an insult to people, but I began to think of it as a compliment. Me and Eric had a conversation after my show in Asheville about the pride you feel when you can confidently say nothing was given to you and thats what this song comes from.

Fuck
(First half made in Alaska, Second half made in Asheville)

Possibly my first attempt at making a true “love” song. I think I failed quite miserably because the whole song is about struggling to tell someone you love that you love them. The line “You learn to find peace in the pieces of each other” is one of my favorite lines I’ve ever written, because it's so cringeworthy and simple. Love is cringe to everyone except those in love, I think.

Bluebirds
(Made in Asheville)

I made this song whilst two of my close friends were going through their own separate heartbreaks, I suppose. The first half is about one and the second half is about another. There is nothing I could really offer them except words so this song is written about those words. Not to jinx myself, but if I had to pick a song people will like the least, it would be this song. But come on, you have to let me have one saxophone solo.

Veni Vidi Vici
(Made in Nicasio)

My favorite song!!! The line “I would rather kill myself than end up anything like Y’all” is a huge reason this album is called Y’all. It's about me leaving North Carolina and realizing a lot of these people in these big American cities have no spine and are just not the sort of people I like being around. City Lights - Avicii is a really good song also.

We Don’t Leave the House
(Made in Nicasio)

The song is quite self-explanatory. I don’t really go out much, if at all. I think hedonism is bad. I get nervous and self-conscious at parties. Basically, everything I say in the song lol. I like how the song ends with me basically like, well, let's just go in the end. I really don't leave the house, though.

Foreigner
(Made in Alaska)

I had gone to Milan and Paris in an attempt to model (I failed quite spectacularly, my guess is the tattoos, and I have a bit of an uneven walk). I went home after and was getting a lot of weird looks because my hair was bright blonde, and I was dressing quite European at the time. I think my American mind finds it quite cool to be confused as European, hence the sort of bragadocious nature of the song. The for real part at ~:47 is my favorite musical moment in the entire album.

9
(Made in Nicasio)

I don't really want to talk about the backstory of this song. I fucked up pretty bad and it is about something that to this day I regret. The beat is crazy, though.

It Is What It Is
(Made in Nicasio)

We made this song the same day Jake Paul fought Mike Tyson; it doesn't mean anything for the song, just thought it would set the scene well. Sort of the spiritual successor to Victoria Beckham, but a lot better IMO. I really enjoy “rapping” if that's what you'd call this song. I like coming up with bars.
“Michelle Yeoh, I couldn’t cope It’s all happening at once” and “Shinzo Abe we brought homemade guns” are two of my favorite lyrics on the album, two crazy name drops.

Modafinil w/ Kurtains and Kai
(Made in Alaska)

Originally a solo song, I just couldn’t keep listening to myself on every song. I asked Kai to do it in Russian because I thought it sounded cool, I’m a really big fan of his and think his verse sounds so crazy. Kurtains verse speaks for itself man….. This beat is generational, and overall, I'm the most excited to perform this song I think.

Polo Ponies
(Made in Nicasio)

Y’all was originally intended to be a country album; this is sort of my attempt at making a country song. This song works as a classic love song but it isn’t how I intended it. It’s about North Carolina it's about how my city and where I'm from never turned their backs on me, even after ‘fuck this town’ and all those angry feelings I felt towards North Carolina.
The song starts with “Polo Ponies, alfalfa hay” The second time, it's “Polo Ponies lined up and the dying days of youth” and at the end, “Polo Ponies played out and my father's driving home” Its meant to signify a progression of the polo day in relation to the progression of my relationship with where im from sorry that was a lot of words and probably doesnt make sense just ask me at a show or something i can explain it better with words than typing….. Lovely song……

i love you and it sounds stupid
(made in Nicassio)

My second attempt at making a love song (much more successfully, I’d say). It’s much sweeter than its sister song “Fuck”. I love the reference to Milan Kundera; everyone should read “The Unbearable Lightness of Being”. I think “I love you and it sounds stupid” is one of the best lyrics I’ve ever written. The second half of this song is so musical, the structure, wow…. None of the opps could write this song. No cap.

Crying, Laughing, Loving, Lying
(Made in Nicassio)

This song was made after I failed to make a song for three days. I wrote literally everything that had happened that day into the chorus. I love (ironic) how this song follows “i love you and it sounds stupid” because its sort of the exact opposite. This is the first time in recent memory that I made a dance song that wasn’t super overstimulating. Jeff actually told me to relax, and I really couldn’t. A lot of very literal lyrics in this song. Tune.

Weird
(Made in Nicassio)

This is the craziest song on the album. I made this song and we never changed anything about it, this song is straight from FL Studio to Spotify. You might miss the accent, but, fuck, we still from the country… like butfuck…. Like we're from the middle of butfuck nowhere. My friends are really quite lovely.
Honestly, not as many of Y’all were weird when I made the song, but now its most of Y’all lol

And last but not least

Bennie & Kay

(Started in Alaska, finished in Asheville)

Losing both of my grandparents in the space of 12 months was difficult.
The first half of this song was written when my grandmother was alive and my grandfather was dead. She told me she just wanted to die, and that's what the first verse is about. This whole song is sort of a letter to my grandfather, when I say “Your Wife” I mean my grandmother. The second half is written after my grandmother had passed. No one wants someone they love to die, but her and my grandfather were meant to be together forever; it was only right for her to join him. I feel so much pain when I listen to this song. I just wish that people didn’t have to leave, It hurts to have so much to say but the person you want to tell isnt there to hear it. Rest in Peace Benito Gutierrez, my grandfather, and Katherine Gutierrez my grandmother. Its hard to live without y’all but I wouldn’t be alive without y’all, so I'll keep on keeping on I suppose
