26 July 2024: Kentaro goes analogue over a beat by Amaury

"unfreestyle" I'm that eternal internal monologue in your mix / Listened to your podcast on double speed, caught the gist / These content creators can never be content / If your bookshelf is all for show... I represent mankind at its most click-baiting / A man's man, I mansplain mansplaining / In the event that I run out of breath, rest assured, I got my deepfake trained up to finish the rest / In this world of zeroes and ones, I stick to the word / But if I ever pray I'm addressing it "To whom it may concern" / My agnosticism is a form of indifference / My mind is occupied with just living / I'm past the big question, or maybe just never got to it / I study the vocab knowing I'll never be fluent / Don't ask me direct, I don't know, I just intuit / My true self? Yeah I think I knew him / I leave no facts, only evidence / To be straightforward about how I feel feels inelegant / I'm the reverse of the verse in the testament Jeremiah 1:5, undefined element / Modern-day gentleman, I am indeed the number one player on the JV team / 38 straight seasons with a record uneven / You don't have to be the one, just need to be convenient / But you've outsourced your math, your memory, your voice, your words, upload your identity / Your AI wife is hot but she's a thief / Took your money and destroyed a system of belief / In this world we achieve peace by clearing the streets / The city sleeps - sleepwalking with blisters on our feet/ Our memory's been censored / Lest we forget, or best we forget lest we misremember / Imagine the heat of the flame based on embers, nothing left / History is a promise that rarely gets kept / But whatever, we don't live here, we're only on tour / What's so great about a life explored / Let me go mad in my own way, to each their own / I saw your face light up, it was the glow of your phone / Let's share a dinner table and be alone together / The two of us, plus every micro-influencer asking for the WiFi / Be my guest, but don't make yourself at home unless you paying the rent / You can pay me in crypto or pay me in followers / Nobody's themselves when they being anonymous / Now back to act one, scene one / Your android dreams are all reruns / All my twelve followers have gone lost / I'm better off letting the chatbot compose my thoughts
