Punks jump up to get beat down There’s a 3 pound bullet in the sky I wanna squeeze the sun and make it cry In the night sky I fly like Peter Pan We all could use a helping hand And a little bit of change Step to the beat and let it rearrange your brain Your name is my name and his name too All I saw was red but then it changed to a different hue of blue The world is as you choose I chewed the noose and walked away Unfazed to fight for your right another day Hear it in the thunder, the ways to grab a lightning bolt And tell god that’s it not her fault Unhappiness is a gift One nobody bought My treasure trove turned into a troth and I got lost I forgot about depression like an ex lover But old flames get married and become mothers It’s bugged out Live from the dugout Swing and a miss Between trains I piss Switching lanes in the abyss You can’t have just one chip You get greedy It’s time we feed the needy and come up with a peace treaty Believe me I understand your plight It’s switched dice dripping with lice Open mic and you don’t know how to grip it right It’s slipping by eclipsing life Order a slice and a fountain of sprite Climb the mountain plant the flag to paradise The air you breath is lemon lime Mine is carbon dioxide I come from Mars Dressed in chocolate bars and fancy dreams Sparkle motion dancing team

Venus is it’s greenest in the summer My number one lover We gotta love each other Come together now smile on your brother And sister too Found a gun in the closet Wondering what’s the trigger do It’s bigger than you and me Truthfully My minds in a different time zone Ice cream cones and Motorola phones Brigade of bones Was all alone, longing for a soul to call my own Then you came along And it wasn’t the same old song Satan got it wrong You’re the angel in my ear I was raised on fear, but you pulled it out of me Like an alien in my tummy Sunny skies and runny yolk Scramble it Late night candle lit Roses growing out your head Swimming on the water bed I used to be ugly, broke our mirrors Now I’m shining like Goldie locks and my visions getting clearer Like Clark Kent in a phone booth Rainbow on my tongue like fruit loops Dr. Seuss day Better than finding loose change Throw a $20 out the window, find another in your jacket The babe magnet Save it for the dragnet Stepping in molasses At least it beats stepping on your glasses Reach for the sky and grab it It’s called passion Good to the last drop Harvest your cash crop That’s your money melon Honey I’m selling the kids Now take em to the bridge Watch the people come and go Just know who runs the show The love below, the war above And they only have more to shove down your spine Outta line But pining for the past never lasts Eat your American gladiators and be glad America’s just a fad America eats it’s babies Better yet the Navy Psycho ranger please save me From nicotine and gravy 
Lazy Sundays Driving up the one way Messing up my Fengshui A case of the Mondays Manic depression Satanic obsession Teaching them a lesson Mass shootings Every other day 
The route of all evil couldn’t find a better way Cutting letters out the mags 
Taking barcodes off tags Michael Jackson still bad All killer, no filler Scream mask in the Miller ad Better yet a bud light 
You only get one life If it’s done right, ain’t up to them That’s on you I’m done barking up the wrong crew Gatekeeper scum want my brain numb My name scrubbed Left in that same blood The game’s dumb so I don’t play no more Catch me walking out of the hell hole store And what we have is much more Than they’ll ever understand I don’t spike mic’s underhand The gun’ll jam Peanut butter spread above your head Right on time Step out the made up box like a mime Like sunlight I shine The simple be the dopest Love is not hopeless

Whether you’re near or far, I look up to the sky and wonder who you are How’d you get in that position of controlling time and space Were there other applicants for creating the human race Bored souls trapped in a corn maze Purgatory, sorta like morning glory drinking a 40 Boy meets the world, and then the world ignores me Invisible man with 4 quarters but can’t find a dime Years go by and you lose your mind I find it hard to find Like waiting for stars to align It ain’t heavy I’m in the Chevy staring at a parking fine Every step forward, they push me back Not all problems can be solved with cash But certainly most Super ho’s coast to coast Johnny was an angel till he overdosed Now he’s satan’s spawn And the town hates his mom Wondering where she went wrong From birth cursed by song It won’t last long Till the bell tolls and hits the gong Reverberating to the White House lawn And god is the president They just got rid of the evidence Lemon twist scented Heaven’s visit to the dentist It’s time to put on the crown War’s making love to peace, now war is going down Peace moans and groans, too much teeth Set the rocket off and woke the beast The army’s a freak off the leash and coming for love Now peace is pregnant with a dove A birds eye view from above Paid in blood Sweat, tears, I don’t think the end’s near enough, I’m calling it’s bluff All that stress made a diamond in the rough Soft to the touch Making doctor death blush This isn’t something I do but hi how are you Blunted in the 500 Gutted but my mind wants it 
Masochistic Biggie Smalls pass the biscuit Last house on the left, you can’t miss it Twisted
I ponder In the deep depths of hell I wander I could be in the Bahamas Drinking Pina coladas and dancing in the rain Instead I get lost in pain One in the same I prayed as a young man Now a days I stay sunk in the sand Soap in the mouth Dope in the house Choking like it was whooping cough Keeping my mind open to moving on I haven’t found what I’m looking for So I’ll look some more

My yoke is heavy I feel like an empty eggshell I hoped you get well Left you a voicemail My voice was frail as a finger nail Like reading books in jail and doing pushups I look up to the sky past my four cornered room And ponder about our doom Some say death is a blessing, well maybe I’m selfish Cos I miss Eating thin mints, watching horror flicks We got dinner, I’d pay the tip Life’s a trip down the stairway to heaven And I’m falling still Don’t know if I took the red or blue pill And which one’s better Grandpa wore sandals in the winter with a sweater My jacket was pleather, yours was mesh I cried till there was nothing left Screaming in the mirror, asking lord why My yoke wasn’t heavy, my yoke was fried It broke my mind All alone in the end I don’t want your sympathy, I want my friend Funerals are always one too many In my life, I’ve seen plenty Turned to mush, ooze on the ground Cold as ice was the sound Pound for pound Part of me is still 6 feet below I try not to think cos I don’t wanna know
Idle hands are the devils playroom I hoped you get well soon Eggshell’s in bloom Heavy yolk membrane The levee broke and I stay afloat memory lane Throwing pennies and hoping for change

Stuck in a board game like Jumanji Well, it’s more of a hobby Lobbies and chat rooms Grandma with her old straw broom And I think to myself what a wonderful world To be caught up in it’s thunderous whirl Nature’s a whore, and earth is nirvana Jeopardy contestants and the Dali Llama You think you’re better than me? 
I’ve been serving this planet for centuries Long before man, I was a single cell amoeba Above the trees in my two seater While you were sucking like a leech I searched for inner peace Your hair needs less grease Looking like Frosted Flakes from Battle Creek My saddle creased, there’s a horse in the hospital Like Rodney Mullen, I created the impossible Living in a dream Virtual reality Spiritual cleanse Play this for your spiritual friends The end is near I can taste it The sun looks my way and I face it Staring into the fireball While the FBI hacks your firewall Hard drives full of porn All your clothes look worn With a frown like a baseball glove All we need now is love

The death parade wanna pepper spray my lemonade Blocking my shine like Dikembe Mutombo When the suns low I push a caddy so she calls me daddy O Automatic dough I fell in love with the girl at the rock show Took her to the movies bought her nachos She looked like Pablo Picasso Downtown in my Chevy sitting heavy like a Zappa Beatles medley Deadly as the cobra strike Jumping off my motor bike Love and war Where’d you get this guy? The thug store? He mean mugs more than Theodore Government microchips and other conspiracy’s You worry me They won’t take my good RX at the pharmacy Alarmingly Remember what you told me? Don’t harm a soul unless they talk boldly on your family Sleeping with the manatees Taking my sanity Never had a plan b In your area causing mass anarchy Yo! Bum rush the show, thanks for having me

My minds fried like an egg on drugs Since an embryo I’ve been bugged Eyes looking to the sky wondering what it was they did wrong I push forward toward the sun and sing songs Think fast and live long Hide until the reapers gone Jesus was smoking Cheech and Chong when I let him take the wheel Sign the papers, make the deal Some would sell their soul to have mass appeal If nothing’s real then how can you feel this A laser sword to the chest More of a mess, that’s how a genius lives I’m a simple man, my plan is to give Back to the community And what did you do? Act more stupidly Trainees, drink your protein pouch and welcome to space Don’t be proud to be the one they hate That’s bogus losing focus on the mission at hand We got the whole world lost with its head in the sand I don’t tread lightly Egg shells wanna fight me But that just delights me The almighty god has a funny way with words So I just rearrange what I heard Since an infant living in infinity I learned that companies love misery Fortune 500 manhunts Not to be blunt, but pass them the blunt Calm down cos it doesn’t really matter The vase shattered now you’re gluing it back together One word, Eskimo, it’s poetic like Heather’s Feathers in your cap Just wait till your parents get back Return of the Mack 10, 11 I hope you’re still in heaven and your wings didn’t burn off Cos that’d be a turn off And I got places to be Electricity is gonna be the brand new craze As soon as I get out of this maze Electrical Reaper with a sickle Dead in the middle A little bit of love is all we need 
To speak freely The people need me I’m the one they lust What brings a gun to bust Like cupid with an arrow The eyes of the all seeing sparrow I’m everywhere Feel god among us It’s like she could reach out and touch us My enemy is war, my enemies have more Outnumbered, out scored by hate Simple instincts of a primate But love will prevail It covers the ocean so I set sail Wear me like heaven 
Triple seven Don't put your head in a box Think outside it All around the globe they hide it like a scarlet letter But we could do better It’s a matter of the heart You can’t find it at Walmart It’s all happening Don’t turn a blind eye It’s a suicide
15.
All I ever wanted was a pair of Jordans and a Jansport It’s a man’s world I retort, to destroy and distort It takes a nation to capture an endless abyss And spin it into this, a truth and a myth A burning ring of fire Be sure to cut the right wire Blue or red A few bled for freedom, others’ born royalty With being a thief comes loyalty It boils me to the brink I sink into the skin as if I was ink Survivors guilt Mopping up the spilled milk Tears in my eyes Stars in the sky A sad clown’s makeup runs
Wake up hon it’s time to go to school Who’s gonna play the fool 40 acres and a stool to milk the cow It’s all happening now The king of what? The king of style Love is gonna get ya like sweat on your brow Left like an empty child The orphans of war And what we have to give is much more

about

A split tape for the ages. A monumental splitter of this magnitude has never been seen. Experimental bedroom synth pop extraordinaire Bob Bucko Jr. and weirdo rap savant Darko The Super come together to bring you LOVE/WAR. BBJr reached out to Darko to release his new album LoveWar on UDDTBA, and as usual Darko found himself a way to get involved (steal it for himself). Darko took his own spin on the concept of LoveWar and created the B side. This was a labor of love and mutual admiration between two artists from two different worlds, ones of love and war. Smash em together and you get cool music for uncool times.

A couple of Already Dead Tapes alums. BBJr and Darko collaborated before, Darko featuring on a BBJr collaboration album with Storm Ross as The Myriad Ones, and Darko sampling tons of BBJr tracks for his album "Watered Down Demon Fuzz", which was released by Bucko on his label Personal Archives. This release is rated E for Everyone and we hope you enjoy it!
