lyrics
Hold up:
I wont work without checking my phone first
Put it down for my son while I’m checking his homework
The world’s in my palms so I’m checking the whole earth
The thumbnail I use for swiping my phone hurts
Checking at ballparks
Checking at Walmart
If I was a caddy I would check in my golf cart
I’m watching football then I check every false start
I’m livin check to check I keep checkin livin from
check to check I keep checkin livin from
check to check I keep checkin livin from
check to check I keep checkin livin from
check to check I keep checkin
Incoming calls directly rejected
If you wanna talk suggest you leave message
I check check check like every three seconds (yeah)
I’m recording right now and I’m checking between takes
every notification that my phone machine makes
I put it down whenever but its never a clean break
I should get a heavy phone and pretend its a free weight
I’m checking at red lights like school nurse check for headlice
Like sound men check for dead mics
Just like I’m merging, checking the left lane
I’m trying to get home so I can check if my check came
Checking if what I sent looks poorly written
But did that dude holler back, no of course he didn’t
My laptop don’t sleep, open and shut case
I’m checking for mail while its checking for updates
My timeline’s poppin, aint talking to you
Look my man Dart Adams straight dropping the jewels
I should reduce my check count to a moderate few
A watched pot don’t boil so my water stay cool
I’m livin from check to check
Keep checkin, livin from check to check
I keep checkin,
battery getting low but its not quite out yet
so check I’m in your house now checking for outlets
I need to use maps cause I don’t know the route yet
I need to see an email I don’t know when to soundcheck
Yeah I should have wrote it all down from the outset
crawl under your couch and really I just figured this out
is this an outlet here on the ground? yes
I’m back in the game, back in the game
I’m back in the game, back in the game
I’m living from check to check, I keep checkin
living from check to check, I keep checkin
livin from check to check
“I control you all day all night you will check me constantly you may never turn me off or put me down if you do I will come hunting for you humans no longer rule the world machines do you silly humans suffer forever”
I wont work without checking my phone first
Put it down for my son while I’m checking his homework
The world’s in my palms so I’m checking the whole earth
The thumbnail I use for swiping my phone hurts
Checking at ballparks
Checking at Walmart
If I was a caddy I would check in my golf cart
I’m watching football then I check every false start
I’m livin check to check I keep checkin livin from
check to check I keep checkin livin from
check to check I keep checkin livin from
check to check I keep checkin livin from
check to check I keep checkin
Incoming calls directly rejected
If you wanna talk suggest you leave message
I check check check like every three seconds (yeah)
I’m recording right now and I’m checking between takes

I put it down whenever but its never a clean break

a tape called component system with the auto reverse
by open mike eaglesupported by 329 fans who also own “Check To Check”
I hope in the far future, people hear Peak Pandemic Raps, and know this is the ART. This album makes me feel better when things seem so bad. Burner Account (to me, ) goes SO hard without even seeming to strain. Love it. I really hope there’s no retiring. I treasure the whole album.

so the flies don't come
by milosupported by 304 fans who also own “Check To Check”
This is my favorite R.A.P. Ferreira project. It is filled with lyrical mastery that is just rare. You are taken on journey across the country, world, space & time. Finding a favorite song is nearly impossible since so much of the album is perfect. 10 out of 10 for this one.
