milo - Just Us (For My Friend Robert, Who Doesn't Live Here Anymore) Lyrics






I swear to goodness I have no fear of failure
A&E will always hold my place as a commercial whaler
Every mistake I've ever made has had a certain inexplicable beauty
You overachievers could never replace
I'm not sorry that I failed you
And I'll unabashedly crawl back under the rock that I hail to
I waste a lot of time perusing Wikipedia entries
Locating algorithms that'll make me famous like Fonzworth Bentley
I don't want to wear technicolor bowties
And I'm sure you could surmise
I'm not the type to ghost ride
I was the kid memorizing danger mouse in my tree house
A mansion is a house with plenty of couch space for all my friends
Real brothers don't care if you're an hour late to make amends

I'm out and about tending to my fruit garden
While you go to Club Sexytime attempting to make your liver harden
My favorite mug smells like bergamot tea leaves
And I find myself dosing off in a heaven of acai trees
Waking up to a feast of sandpears and apricots
Avoiding higher institutions with man-bears for mascots
I'll boycott this fanfare, to kick rocks and stand there
In dirty birkenstocks, I'll return to hip hop when the jerkin' stops
I'm pointing fingers at the flatulence of pop music
When I played Diablo II I always picked the Druid
I'm rolling with a team of better men
Rockin' all black, leather lettermens
Who call themselves the Whethermen
Arbitrarily call myself, "The Greatest Rapper Alive"
Without ever consulting any of you other rhyming guys

Should the person who helped you find your confidence ever vanish
Before you can thank them, in the intricate ways that you had planned it
You'll feel wretched- and terribly selfish
I just hope that he can understand
I just hope that he can understand

Every night before I fall asleep I think of where my brother went
How something so real can just disappear, I must be too fucking dense
I'm struggling with why I didn't make it a point to come and see you
Staring at your picture in my phone, I can't be prompted to delete you
Every night trying to convince myself these shortcomings are worth nothing
Where ever you are, my brother, I hope you rest your weary shoulders
There's a lot more to Rob Espinosa than newspaper clippings in a folder
Kurt Vonnegut writes off death with a, "So it goes."
I guess that's the primary difference between a poet and writer of prose
I'm not trying to compress your existence into nicely wrapped tidbits
That'd be an insult to your memory as well as metaphysics
This is beyond my fucking limits
This is beyond my fucking limits

You don't want me to pull memories from way back
Cause you ain't got the necessary jiggawatts in that Maybach
You don't want me to pull memories from way back
Cause you ain't got the necessary jiggawatts in that Maybach
You don't want me to pull memories from way back
Cause you ain't got the necessary jiggawatts in that Maybach

The english language dictates we speak of you in past tense
Can you cross the river styx with a mere half pence?
I don't know the answers
I only know the dances
When your facebook becomes your memorial page
And I swear I cry when I look through the pictorial display

  23. C.... ....

    I want a 15 min loop of this song!

  24. R.... B....

    That's how I am when I do bedroom music too haha

  25. S.... L....

    He probably did, and he probably is.

  26. C.... S....

    The problem is that he sounds like he recorded all the vocals alone in his room, and is kind of embarrassed about it.

  27. m.... ....

    He's talking about how he found self-confidence thanks to Rob and his feelings towards him.

  28. L.... ....

    too real..

  29. m.... ....

    I'll return to hip-hop when the jerkin stops...
    That's what's up.

  30. l.... ....

    @sabydaby God forbid supporting artists who deserve supporting.

  31. B.... ....

    Utterly amazing

  32. j.... ....

    I don't really listen to rap or consider myself a fan of it, but this is so good.

  33. e.... ....

    originally from shlohmo, just sayin.

  34. r.... ....

    @sabydaby Way to sound like a dick.

  35. V.... W....

    @sabydaby I'd pay for this

  36. E.... F....

    @sabydaby I know it doesn't and perhaps I was out of line when I responded. It was just you came off as some spoiled teenager who expects things to just fall into your lap. I'm not saying you're anything like that, your comment left me with a bad vibe is all. My apologies for misunderstanding.

  37. P.... o....

    @Efactor87 Why would I ask someone else that, when I would be clearly talking to myself. That is even stupider. I wrote my originally comment while drunk and high, and when I saw this video I read all about a "FREE" mixtape, but the link was wrong and took me to a website that charged, like, a whole dollar. I do give back to artists that have meant a lot to me, so shut up. One small comment doesn't tell you who I am or what my ethics are. Or even give you proper context.

  38. E.... F....

    @sabydaby OK I find some offense to this stupid comment. "who charges mixtapes?" No, you should be asking "Who looks for free music from very small artists who's every sale pays their rent and helps them keep producing quality material?" Even if it is free, if you're going to download it, have the decency to donate a few dollars to their cause. Maybe not now, maybe not tomorrow, but somewhere down the line try paying back the artists who gave you brought this to you.

    E.... F....

    E Factor preach

  39. S.... G....

    I honestly think your the most interesting rapper alive

  40. b.... ....

    @sabydaby i'm not milo, just a dude who supports good music ;)

  41. n.... ....

    Shlohmo - Just Us

  42. P.... o....

    @boombapaddict yeah I found it :P good mixtape tho! I laughed out loud more than a few times too :) only gave it a couple listens but it's solid. You kind've remind me of Why? but even more lyrical and straight faced, like Das Racist. Definitely want to hear more of your stuff

  43. K.... B....

    Rory the Druid

  44. B.... M....

    @sabydaby ur an idiot. u can get it for free. or donate money.

  45. b.... ....

    @sabydaby it's still available for free! just read the description on bandcamp ;)
    i also fixed the link on my blog.

  46. P.... o....

    I'm sorry, but I thought the mixtape's free? who charges mixtapes? Especially when your highest viewed video has 4.5 thousand views...

  47. s.... ....

    @RealityNotTv Get off

  48. s.... ....

    WHO BLEMISHED THIS SONG WITH A DISLIKE?

  49. r.... ....

    "Waking up to a feast of sand pears and apricots,
    avoiding higher institutions with manbears for mascots,
    I'll boycott this fanfare to kick rocks and stand there
    in dirty Birkenstocks; I'll return to hip hop when the jerking stops."

    Best rhyme on the record.

  50. r.... ....

    @BooTTrix1994 One of the songs on the tape is called "Bill Murray's Prayer."

  51. t.... ....

    @zerolovefuck yomilo

  52. z.... ....

  53. p.... ....

    @SuperOD1992 are you daft... there's opinion then there's idiocy. i doubt you have any reason to call this "trash" go listen to waka flocka

  54. S.... M....

    holy shit shlohmo

  55. c.... g....

    Holy shit, this is deep.

  56. S.... ....

  60. J.... ....

    @Punk4ge

  61. K.... R....
