This song is so complex...great writing. Oddisee the Artist is truly cut from a different cloth. I need to go see this brother and his Good Company band live. No one has done live band music this well since the Legendary Roots Crew....Oddisee is an exceptional lyricist. Much love and respect.
Its a small thing to most but one thing i really love Oddisee for is his attention to the bass in his music. The bass work in this video is brilliant and that player is amazing. I'm a bass player myself and its beautiful to hear that within hip hop
Well his work on guitars and keys is great too, but you are right. Black Milk's instrumental work and arrangements from live performances are rather impressive as well.
I wanna take more risks, I don't wanna take more losses Want to be a better spender, but I like the idea of not caring what the cost is I wanna tell the truth even when it hurt, when I get it back I rather have the blow softened.
to see O grow in his musical career over the years has been amazing! he is a freaken boss! I cant believe I will finally be seeing him live here soon! Shout out to The Good Company band they kill it all the time!
I think I'm in a maze I feel like conflicting within my brain All these contradictions got me feeling strange Is this a phase Or is this the way? I wanna make non-stop profit I wanna make a non-profit Close down a store when I go shopping Open up a floor for a closed topic And relax on a beach in remote tropics But grind like I'm broke and I'm so jobless Feeling like it's me against the world - It's the other way around: We polluting and we won't stop it I wanna stay at home and play Xbox But my homies keep on hitting up my inbox Say it's been a long time since they seen me So I'm cutting off the TV and I meet em in the next spot I think I want a job in a office I am the epitome of what a boss is A paycheck every two weeks Over losing out on sleep for the fear that I go starving And yet I wanna take more risk I don't wanna take more losses Wanna be a better spender but I like the idea not caring what the cost is I wanna tell the truth even when it hurts, but when I get it back I'd rather have the blow softened Wanna pray 5 times a day, am I heading to the mosque? Prolly not, I don't go often In the kitchen cooking dinner yeah I made that Feelin lazy so I'll prolly order takeout Better yet I'm really fiending for some Shake Shack Lookin at the plate like I gotta keep my weight down In a circle of self worth and judgment How you matching up gets puzzling How to know enough is enough when your lust for a much of enough it feels just as real as a something I think I'm in a maze I feel like conflicting within my brain All these contradictions got me feeling strange Is this a phase Or is this the way? I pretend that I listen a lot When people say things I don't really care about In one ear and it goes out And you wouldn't even notice that my head was in the cloud But my inner voice really wanna shout Quit crying, you ain't dying But I reply with legitimate advice like Keep trying, they hiring But I really wanna tell them that they wasting time More importantly they wasting mine That's harsh, and I'm not cold Yeah I'm from the Capitol but I'm not bold I guess I really am a nice guy Keep handled that they don't win races So I wanna be a track star Laughing at the people tripping on they own laces That's tasteless, and I got style And I ain't got wings but I got house And that's why folks wanna pick my brain I saw the big picture when I picked my frame But I think most y'all's pretentious Prolly just surrounded by the ego centric And that rubbed off, so I say things that go along with the grain like Yeah, I meant it I feel like I'm in a maze I feel like conflicting with inner brain All these contradictions got me feeling strange Is this a phase Or is this the way? I think I'm in a maze (in a maze) I feel like conflicting with inner brain (yeaah) All these contradictions got me feeling strange (feelin strange) Is this a phase (Is this a phase) Or is this the way? (Is this the way)

I am happy to hear that there are other people who appreciate the complexity and quality of Oddisee's music.
my thoughts exactly.
such an introspective song. it is honest in every way.
Its a small thing to most but one thing i really love Oddisee for is his attention to the bass in his music. The bass work in this video is brilliant and that player is amazing. I'm a bass player myself and its beautiful to hear that within hip hop
Well his work on guitars and keys is great too, but you are right. Black Milk's instrumental work and arrangements from live performances are rather impressive as well.
I'm just stating to produce a little bit. Can you elaborate on what makes the bass so good?
I wanna take more risks, I don't wanna take more losses
Want to be a better spender, but I like the idea of not caring what the cost is
I wanna tell the truth even when it hurt, when I get it back I rather have the blow softened.
I love this song. the bass guitar player is killing it.
to see O grow in his musical career over the years has been amazing! he is a freaken boss! I cant believe I will finally be seeing him live here soon! Shout out to The Good Company band they kill it all the time!
Those Chords Played On 1:00-1:05 Just..... Amazing
This song, and album, is soo relatable
ever since I first heard "Skippin Rocks" , much respect.
LOVE THIS!!! never knew this live recording existed. Using in class tomorrow. Thank you KUTX Austin!
Beautiful
Absolutely love this. It’s gold
that tambourine at 1:45 was everything
I think I'm in a maze
I feel like conflicting within my brain
All these contradictions got me feeling strange
Is this a phase
Or is this the way?
I wanna make non-stop profit
I wanna make a non-profit
Close down a store when I go shopping
Open up a floor for a closed topic
And relax on a beach in remote tropics
But grind like I'm broke and I'm so jobless
Feeling like it's me against the world - It's the other way around:
We polluting and we won't stop it
I wanna stay at home and play Xbox
But my homies keep on hitting up my inbox
Say it's been a long time since they seen me
So I'm cutting off the TV and I meet em in the next spot
I think I want a job in a office
I am the epitome of what a boss is
A paycheck every two weeks
Over losing out on sleep for the fear that I go starving
And yet I wanna take more risk
I don't wanna take more losses
Wanna be a better spender but I like the idea not caring what the cost is
I wanna tell the truth even when it hurts, but when I get it back I'd rather have the blow softened
Wanna pray 5 times a day, am I heading to the mosque?
Prolly not, I don't go often
In the kitchen cooking dinner yeah I made that
Feelin lazy so I'll prolly order takeout
Better yet I'm really fiending for some Shake Shack
Lookin at the plate like I gotta keep my weight down
In a circle of self worth and judgment
How you matching up gets puzzling
How to know enough is enough when your lust for a much of enough it feels just as real as a something
I think I'm in a maze
I feel like conflicting within my brain
All these contradictions got me feeling strange
Is this a phase
Or is this the way?
I pretend that I listen a lot
When people say things I don't really care about
In one ear and it goes out
And you wouldn't even notice that my head was in the cloud
But my inner voice really wanna shout
Quit crying, you ain't dying
But I reply with legitimate advice like
Keep trying, they hiring
But I really wanna tell them that they wasting time
More importantly they wasting mine
That's harsh, and I'm not cold
Yeah I'm from the Capitol but I'm not bold
I guess I really am a nice guy
Keep handled that they don't win races
So I wanna be a track star
Laughing at the people tripping on they own laces
That's tasteless, and I got style
And I ain't got wings but I got house
And that's why folks wanna pick my brain
I saw the big picture when I picked my frame
But I think most y'all's pretentious
Prolly just surrounded by the ego centric
And that rubbed off, so
I say things that go along with the grain like
Yeah, I meant it
I feel like I'm in a maze
I feel like conflicting with inner brain
All these contradictions got me feeling strange
Is this a phase
Or is this the way?
I think I'm in a maze (in a maze)
I feel like conflicting with inner brain (yeaah)
All these contradictions got me feeling strange (feelin strange)
Is this a phase (Is this a phase)
Or is this the way? (Is this the way)
The. Fucking. Best
really can't wait to watch him live
LOVE
I pretend that I listen a lot when people say things I don't really care about
In one ear and it goes out
And you wouldn't even notice that my head was in the cloud
But my inner voice really wanna shout
Quit crying you ain't dying
But I reply with legitimate advice like
"Keep trying they hiring"
But I really wanna tell them that they wasting time
More importantly they wasting mine
The greatness...
