09/29/2023 Click here for Spotify, Apple Music, or Youtube. “Reputation” is my 58th official release. The song was self-recorded, but mixed, and mastered by Vlad and the beat is by Vlad from Fiverr and the cover art is made by xoxodesigns from fiverr.
I talk about this blog post and other updates in the latest Sunday update here:
Like the previous release, This song is originally from “The Chalice Mixtape.” I had the beat remade to sound like Taylor’s Reputation album. This is a musical response to Taylor’s music around the reputation era. It also represents a milestone. By now, with all my releases, I have built a reputation like I envisioned when I made this response and it will only get better from here. The foundation is good music and this is just the start. It’s worth mentioning that in the musical communication between Taylor and I, “sex” is a euphemism for making more music about each other.
I am all set (and uploaded) for a release on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Friday of the month until the end of the year. I’m probably gonna go down to once a month and release an album or EP every business quarter next year unless I get more royalties or some sort of financial support. I can’t afford to keep up this pace. I’m mentioning it here because I’ve built a reputation for releasing every month and it’s getting hard to maintain that reputation. Remember kids, dreams don’t come true in America, unless you have the money to afford them. It doesn’t matter how hard you work. It’s more about who you know and how much money you have to invest than what you know and how hard you work.
Lyrics:
This is the future
Listen Alice
This before I ever knew you
Before we ever met
Before we fell in love
Before we focused on the sex
We gon’ get it pop’n
Double up the profit
Bezel when we lock it
Send a message like we drop ship
Before I ever knew you
Before we ever met
Before we fell in love
Before we focused on the sex
We gon’ get it pop’n
Double up the profit
Bezel when we lock it
Send a message like we drop ship
When it comes to fame my girl run the game
Cuz you think Alice at a tea party play’n
Oh this here, ain’t nothing but a thang
Worry bout yourself don’t think about what I’m say’n
Picture, the design
Hide it in plain sight
Don’t want nothing but your time
That sweet sugar you rhyme
I find, in your mind, your right to be haunted
I’m spiritually daunted, Seriously fraught with
The Love, the fall, the thought of it all
You think you know you got it til the heart get involved
My ghost do jujitsu
Bad blood with the Swift moves
Regrets, what you didn’t do
They front, I’m tellin you the truth
Lotidotida I’ll admit it
This is our song and I know that you gon’ get it
It’s the way you laugh, you sing, your attention
Look, I got your heart, and want that spark of potential
Look, you’ve been chosen
And this not Frozen
No Prince Hans, no bonds, can’t afford them
Tell that to yourself
Who gon tell you straight
Who done really felt
The reputation you made
Look, you’ve been chosen
And this not Frozen
No Prince Hans, no bonds, can’t afford them
Tell that to yourself
Who gon tell you straight
Who done really felt
The reputation you made
You almost didn’t notice all the roses
Singing in rows with upstuck noses
Alice in her dreams, ransoming me,
Bet my friend’s gon’ ask what happened to me
Some boys try too hard, but I don’t get involved though
I just watch the Ice Queen decide it’s a “no”
My first concert was a Tim McGraw show
Now I feel like make’n hits with this braud, I wanna know
Hungry for your love, stary eyed and got a gift
I’m eat’n, yeah, I’m live’n through I’m starv’n for your kiss
Not asking for a lot, just your heart, not the key
Later, I’ll ask, your Mind, you're giving it to me
Fight me, I like resistance
Tell your lies about how I don’t listen
Show your disguise, how your heart’s not in it
How your whole career’s a lie, and you are a gimmick
Oooo, yeah I know
But just imagine if I wasn’t on your team though
I didn’t reap what I sew, think to let you know
You, your songs, prepped a seat up on your throne
Want the world, I’ll take
Want the way, I’ve paved it
I know the real world
It’s the 1st, I paid it
Don’t really embellish
I kick it with the fellas
But my girl another level
This artist is developed
Before I ever knew you
Before we ever met
Before we fell in love
Before we focused on the sex
We gon’ get it pop’n
Double up the profit
Bezel when we lock it
Send a message like we drop ship
Before I ever knew you
Before we ever met
Before we fell in love
Before we focused on the sex
We gon’ get it pop’n
Double up the profit
Bezel when we lock it
Send a message like we drop ship
Look, you’ve been chosen
And this not Frozen
No Prince Hans, no bonds, can’t afford them
Tell that to yourself
Who gon tell you straight
Who done really felt
The reputation you made
Look, you’ve been chosen
And this not Frozen
No Prince Hans, no bonds, can’t afford them
Tell that to yourself
Who gon tell you straight
Who done really felt
The reputation you made
uh
This is 2 on Alice
It should be too lit
To legit to quit
