Liner Notes

The bass is improvised other than the hook riff, and I start going off at one point and it's a bit much ("we get it, bass!") so I could see re-recording that section or just lowering it in the mix, but for now I am moving on as I feel like this mix was messing with me.

Shout out to the frogs in the field behind my house last summer for the feature.

Lyrics

Get yourself off the floor Better make sure your people are accounted for Crossed that line like a thousand times Don’t lose your head we can’t stop anymore Get yourself off the floor Better make sure your people are accounted for Crossed that line like a thousand times Don’t lose your head we can’t stop anymore

In a difficult time, the scene is now unbelievable Pins and needles, the overwhelming feeling being That giving into one isn’t getting it done We were all meant for something much bigger Pissed off and ripe for drama The hits aren’t stopping until maximum trauma Turn it off now this isn’t what we wanted Turn it off now, this is on the record Innocent dying the money is lying A significant amount of people scared of the tie in Handing little jabs out to one another Just in case the hammer drops And they gotta eat each other Now if you missed the point of the plot They’re going to pick that shit apart Whether you like it or not As it falls don’t finish it quickly Allow it to crumble slowly and let them sit in it Hide money, avoid paying your taxes Avoid paying fair wages, deny responsibility Hide some place you think you will never be found Somewhere with tunnels buried under the ground Wasn’t hard was it? A story so far along it could have started with the parents And passed down around us written in the trauma Hit it if you miss you’ll be buried in the garden That’s for the drama Hidden away some place safe With a trust they’ll never find it It’s just a little more time so much info to find I just can’t wait to see the shit collapse from inside

Get yourself off the floor Better make sure your people are accounted for Crossed that line like a thousand times Don’t lose your head we can’t stop anymore Get yourself off the floor Better make sure your people are accounted for Crossed that line like a thousand times Don’t lose your head we can’t stop anymore

Bro your flow is so smooth. I love those little melodic parts on - turn it off now. The sprawling bass truly works here. Who doesn't love fuzz bass? I also dig that snare sound, super tight and high. This rocks. 🤘

That bass is so funky! I like the thick saturation. Gives it a lot of beef. This has a serious cool vibe. And what a rap. These times are insane. This hits hard. Bangin tune!

I really enjoy hearing you on quite different instrumentals, and this one is once again very cool! I really like the stereo effect on “Turn it off now,” it's a nice addition! And then there's that bass line rolling out the notes, it's great!

Honestly I think the bass is super fun, even if a little indulgent. Gives the track a tonne of personality
