Open Mike Eagle - Ziggy Starfish (Anti-Anxiety Raps) Lyrics






Landed some place I ain't never been, yet again
Space travel veteran, never blend
Like they asked you to come around, never end
The initiation most times. If I'm in this
Old school letterman, never been
I'd like to ask if you know the code, guess again
Is a game barely controlled that they don't give
Like they gon' live forever
Politicians on straw-man missions
Stumble into town looking all ambitious
It's the ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead
He won't eat the Wonder Bread
He won't pledge allegiances
My saints is dead comedians
Trying to taste this cred is meaningless
That shit is warping my soul

Knee-deep in the same dirt
Only water divides us
Same places, different continents
And my head-space is an island
I swim freely through my phylum
I'm tuned to radio silence
Came to me while I was driving
Right then, it was decided

I ain't never been to this planet
Make eye contact and I'm smiling
I ain't never been to this planet
Make eye contact and I'm smiling
I ain't never been to this planet
Make eye contact and I'm smiling
I ain't never been to this planet
Make eye contact and I'm smiling
Eye to eye...

Woke up thinking I'm Batman
Every town is like Gotham
I log into my twitter page
And start bending over like Gollum
This dumb cred is like crack rock
And I never seem to hit bottom
My representative smiling at you like
"What the fuck is the problem?"
Walk uncharted lands with no squad
Spots my ancestors picked cotton
They want me to carry their customs
When I know the truth is postmodern
I won't walk like an Egyptian
Don't talk like I be pimpin'
There's in-groups and there's out-groups
And I believe in making distinctions
I just smile and offer you greetings
Hopefully with no pretense
My aim's to honor your physical
And leave room for all of your secrets
We should all play a big Scrabble game
And make every word a confession:
"A-N-X-I-O-U-S."

Knee-deep in the same dirt
Only water divides us
Same places, different continents
And my head-space is an island
I swim freely through my phylum
I'm tuned to radio silence
Came to me while I was driving
Right then, it was decided

I ain't never been to this planet
Make eye contact and I'm smiling
I ain't never been to this planet
Make eye contact and I'm smiling
I ain't never been to this planet
Make eye contact and I'm smiling
I ain't never been to this planet
Make eye contact and I'm smiling
Eye to eye...

    That dancing alien head tho

  28. E.... ....

    Probably my favorite OME song, although I've only ever listened to his MMG albums (Dark Comedy, Special Episode EP, the collab with Serengeti, and Hella Personal). I don't know where to start with his music from before that. Any suggestions?

  29. L.... o....

    Who's here by themselves and not by Vox??

    L.... o....

    Me? Well I got here because of Eric Andre but still... wtf is VOX?

    L.... o....

  35. p.... ....

    DAMN. FIRE!

  36. W.... S....

    Who here didn't find this from vox and just found it.

  37. n.... ....

    3:25 Hannibal!

  38. L.... Q....

    He was recommended to me on Google Play Music because I liked Clipping. This guy is fire.

  39. P.... ....

    We should all play a big Scrabble game
    And make every word a confession:
    "A-N-X-I-O-U-S."

  40. K.... F....

    I don't know why but my dog loses his mind whenever I play this song.

  41. a.... ....

    Dan Harmon got me into this. Mike Eagle is amazing!

  42. F.... ....

    To bad this is his only good song

  43. C.... W....

    Why isn't he popular

  44. T.... ....

  45. K.... M....

    beat is soothin... like it. now immabout2 listen again...

  46. R.... O....

    Amazing video and even better lyrics

  47. E.... R....

    Is the official title anxiety or anti-anxiety raps?

  48. M.... G....

    one of the best songs I've ever heard.

  49. R.... B....

    "My saints is dead comedians."

  50. r.... c....

    Eric Andre got me here

    r.... c....

    Depressed Disco Wait from which episode or video? I'd love to see it.

  51. K.... ....

    wish there was an instrumental version

  52. P.... ....

    holy shit its produced by Gold fucking Panda!!

  53. S.... ....

    Based god necklace

  54. l.... G....

    This guy needs to be big.

  55. k.... ....

    im here for hannibal

  56. N.... ....

    this is such a tune mike! props props props

  57. u.... f....

    Siriusly - how does this not have more views?

    u.... f....

    Who cares

  58. T.... ....

    fun this song is so fuckin amazing

  59. T.... ....

    he has a sick ass way of saying simple shit...very MF DOOM like...but this guy has more of a clear messages then doom . very artistic

    T.... ....

    Tmathh, interesting connection. Although I think MF Doom is more abstract in his flow and much less political than OME. Thoughts on that?

    T.... ....

    agreed...less abstract more clear. i see doom in later of rappers. earl n absoul n shit open mike not as much but i see it

    T.... ....

    I've heard about this absoul, where would you recommend is a good starting point? Or, if you're too busy, a good resource for finding out? I'd hate to start on a bad album.

    T.... ....

    Narayan Subramoniam control system for sure, it's dope as fuck. ab soul is the type of rapper who you can tell that he doesn't care whether people understand him or not and he isn't going for mainstream appeal

    T.... ....

    I've been to 4 different music videos featuring somewhat more obscure rappers and someone is always comparing them to mf doom . It seems if you are even a little bit unique you're compared to him

  60. F.... M....

    Why is every beat sound gay when mike raps 😕 I just want a drill or Chicago sounding beat. Cause his lyrics are going to waste

  61. G.... ....

    This track is fire, but I much prefer the version that OME and Thundercat did on 'Why?'.

    That bass

  62. G.... K....

    Kassem G on 2:46?)

  63. L.... M....

    Anyone know the sample?

  64. I.... B....

    Yo momma is my brother

  65. c.... h....

    Am I the only one that discovered him through Improv4Humans? Thank you Matt Besser!

  94. V.... ....

    we all ain't never been to this planet and we all are smiling hmmm...

  95. F.... P....

    he seems like a mix of gambino, isaiah rashad and j cole

    F.... P....

    Literally makes no sense... Btw he is his own person i can't stand people that compare.

    F.... P....

    nigga fuck you

  96. M.... M....

    the beat has a clams casino vibe and i love it.

    M.... M....

    +Maicon M. sounds more like thundercat than clams. clammy more esoteric and mood altering
