Lyrics:
We’ll lift when I flick the clutch
Days when I wasted a lot
Some days I was waste like plums
That ain’t been ate for months
Months in this place of glum
Food that I ate hit my tum
Can’t settle fairy tale skin pebbles
Raised in slums
Somehow I gotta make me some
I ain’t trying to stay at mum’s
Mum said don’t play with guns
Bangin’ and playin’ on drums
Slangin’ it under no thumb
Make me draw from my fund
Putting on pie and eatin’ crumbs
Get rich til ya die don’t mean that much
Could be anyone that wouldn’t be me
Believing everyone except from me
All I need is TLC
Block it out with THC
You would know if you seen what I seen
Ain’t smooth like Maybelline
Cut me out like 123
Poof I’m gone say my move was strong
Bite it between my teeth
Say I’m moving along
Do you know where I’ve been?
Back and forth to Timbuk 2
Still I come through like Mister Sheen
Dealing with Charlie Sheen
Sad times, can you play the strings?
No cut no seam
Looks could kill and I’ve got high beams
Out of touch, off my line
They’ve got laws but I can’t comply
Out of luck, must be blind
Been blessed so much til I question my existence
Without a pot to piss in, distant
Travel distance, I am Mr. Kiddlin
Can’t contain my position
No optimism, say I’m optimistic
Narcissistic, hard to sit with
Middle part and split the difference
Me, treat me to exorcism
Bad decision, pessimistic
Conflict about fit description
Misunderstanding, don’t know what I’m planning
Paint a different picture
Need a safe line and life in the caption
Why you live for insta?

This mixtape is amazing. That is a proven fact. I liked my own comment because I agree with myself.

How can a song with such a rough exterior be so smooth. Everyone loves flume, yet I still think he is underrated.

[@Jalegre]

That balance of ruggedness and fluidity is why Flume is Flume. He's too good.

[@aledesma6000]

no one thinks he's underrated. Every one in the electronic music community see him as a god and plus he's won a grammy

[@ByakuyaReborn]

Bro he got a Grammy. But people listen to generic shit. This album will never blow like his others but who cares.

[@syntaxind9811]

Its actually Nice to Be underrated.. Do u want his unique Songs (Our Own Pleasure) To blow all up in Radios and Every fucking Mainstream songs to copy this and FLUME genre to Inflate out of market??

[@theodorehowell8869]

from 0:44 to 0:59 is one of my favorite sounds on this mixtape

it sounds like something off of the skins album haha. but yeah i agree i love it

Are you talking about all the songs? Cuz each one of them is stuck in my head😂😂

[@NguyenHieu-nl5fe]

Yes me too is one of my favsss

[@swaggydaddy4563]

You think the song can't get any better until Flume hits you with that 0:44

[@sankothari]

Tbh the song wouldn't be so good without that dance of the morning dew melody

[@DanielRam814]

Suyash Kothari agreed

[@ryanpaezmusic]

hit you with that 2:28

[@aathishvinoj3700]

Magnificent

[@joekratman1872]

[@electrichawk7982]

alright flume's sound design has always been revered as out of this world but DO YALL NOTICE HOW FIRE HIS DRUMS SOUND?

[@DhirajKyawal]

that comes under sound design too

[@syntaxind9811]

@@DhirajKyawal True

[@Nobody-hc2bo]

You can thank Decap for making Drums that Knock. He used one of the samples in Helix and that sorta kicked it all off for flume for these drum sounds

[@lalolaxlx]

All the album is so good in this way, omg

[@marcuspeak6990]

he matches his drums so well with his synths every single song. thats why they sound so great

[@George100DP]

Can we talk about how slowthai bodied this beat

[@hazmatTV736]

WhiteNoise for reeeeallll he went off, not a single curse, pure lyricism, the man is a poet

[@brieucdebels6568]

Sure, m7

[@benavery306]

Brieuc Debels sure m9

[@AsapMilk]

I feel like Thai fans are more susceptible to saying it's good while flume fans will be more on to the it's bad side

[@deepcvs]

@@AsapMilk That's actually not true. Being a hardcore flume fan myself, I think Slowthai's verses and delivery were fire on this. This song definitely grows on you.

[@proletaariat]

5yrs going. Still the best song I've ever heard.

[@ryanmusic27]

Nothing beats that instrumental ending. Thank you flume for creating music.

[@davidoberle9023]

Finally slowthai gettin some global recognition

[@Trade-in-Black]

When the beat kicks in at 2:30 legendary...

I just realized that’s what he said today 😂😂love this mixtape

[@YummoWickersham]

Flume and Slowthai, smooth yet raw. Two most underrated artists

[@jonathanflores2302]

This goes unnecessarily hard

[@RCmies]

The drop at 2:12 always makes me run 2x faster when I'm listening to this while running. I just can't help it. It gives me energy somehow.

[@IamSeafarer]

One of the most creative beats in hip hop in a long while. On repeat. Thank you Flume (& HWLS & Slowthai!)

Flume, you are a game changer. Like what the fuck is this. I can't name anything like this! This is new, innovative and insane! This is actually insane! Flume, you are a genius, you are an idol I look up to. I couldn't stop wondering how the fuck you managed to come up with such crazy ideas. You were gone for 3 years! 3 years! And here is your come back. And what a come back. I hope I can stand up to you one day. One day in the future. P.S. I think this album is going to change the music industry. Flume, you are a fucking genius! Love you!
