Watsky

Released: November 15, 2019

(Somewhere I belong)
Climbing and climbing not thinking about the crash
Jumping off of those towers and showing all of my ass
Honing all of my powers and spending all of this cash
It's like I'm trying to buy
(Somewhere I belong)

Riding in buses and busting all of these flows
Custom officer asking me what I do for my dough
When I know why I'm so self-conscious
It's like I'm trying to write
(Somewhere I belong)

Running city to city
And trying to outrun the blues
Picking buildings up at the corner looking under for clues
Building all of these castles and doing all that we can
'Till this rude ass universe ruins all of our plans
I say too fast
Baby let me off a carousel that's ruthless
Give me candy apple caramel
It's useless
Holding up all these fronts killing yourself for trying to do everything at once
But I guess that's just the world that we live in
Check the dead rats
Do we fight
Do we give in
Do we protest
Used to tell the kids that they should go West
Now a supermarket guru's selling no stress
But you know he popped a vessel in the process
What a whole mess
And yeah I'm naive
But I say why leave early
All that's guaranteed is going
(Somewhere I belong)

[Outro]
Ring
Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring x3

A successful slam poet turned rapper, Watsky first gained attention through ‘Russell Simmons’ HBO Def Poetry,’ and a later burst of viral success for his fast rapping. At every turn, Watsky has refused to be pigeonholed, following up his speed rap success with 2013 LP Cardboard Castles, an eccentric ode to creativity, and 2014’s Anderson. Paak-produced All You Can Do. After a hiatus to work on new material, Watsky pivots again, this time to prose, returning simultaneously with the essay collection How To Ruin Everything, published by Plume/Penguin-Random House, of which Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda writes, “funny, subversive […] you find yourself nodding your head in wonder and recognition.” How To Ruin Everything debuted in the New York Times best-selling list. In total, he has created five studio albums and two live albums. Watsky released his fifth album, x INFINITY August 2016, describing it as his most ambitious project yet. Most recently, in January of 2019, he released a short album called Complaint.
