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
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...

Open Mike Eagle Ziggy Starfish (Anti-Anxiety Raps) Comments
I love Open Mike Eagle’s music even better life. They are touring right now, get a ticket!
OME is my shit. if you only now peeping him, also check out Brick Body Complex. Love people who rhyme but with a message. This guy one of them.
Landed🤘👨🚀
God I love underground hip hop
Just noticed the dancing Alien!
i ain't never been to this planet
I swear YouTube unlikes videos for me. Re-liking.
one of the best in my opinion. It might be only me, but i recon this dude must have been a fan of Sister Nancy, even though she was a dance hall MC, I can hear her flow all through his lyricism?!
i love the beat but dont like that style of mc , im old school and just old maybe :P .
this song did so much for me when it first came out. just listening to it again makes me feel so warm & comfortable. thank you so much, Mike.
i dont think anyone flows like mike
Impressive!
Love this jam :d
waveboyo from discord
Of course still my Fav dance song!!!
Oh shit this is nice!
im so in love with this
i hate that there is no trust in this generation i keep fucking my mind w drugs just because
i surely never been to this planet i want out
I WANT TO QUIT IT I NEED TO QUIT IT I NEED TO TRUST AND BE TRUSTED HOW CAN U LIVE LIKE THIS
I like how at the end when he says the chorus “make eye contact N I’m smiling.” He’s like “eye to eye” after it’s dope
Came for Open Mike Eagle, stayed for Gold Panda!
Stupid good song. The brain on this dude is so strong.
June 2018 big Eag ✊
2/2018 and I'm still jammin
Dude the beat is fucking amazing.
Gold Panda and OME. Fuckin' wise.
2:40 Is that Hannibal?!
Never been to this planet
Make eye contact and I'm smiling
That dancing alien head tho
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?
Who's here by themselves and not by Vox??
Me? Well I got here because of Eric Andre but still... wtf is VOX?
Improv4humans
want a cookie?
Nah, vox no bueno
This shit is soooo tight.
I want this guy to blow up so bad. been keeping up with him since Dark Comedy.
dat cameo tho ;P
what a good fucking track, gold panda's production is tops.
legendary single, didn't even know how to ask for it but glad it's here.
SOMEONE PLEASE SOURCE THE SAMPLE IN THIS BEAT
DAMN. FIRE!
Who here didn't find this from vox and just found it.
3:25 Hannibal!
He was recommended to me on Google Play Music because I liked Clipping. This guy is fire.
We should all play a big Scrabble game
And make every word a confession:
"A-N-X-I-O-U-S."
I don't know why but my dog loses his mind whenever I play this song.
Dan Harmon got me into this. Mike Eagle is amazing!
To bad this is his only good song
Why isn't he popular
lol hannibal at 3:21
Love your profile pic.
beat is soothin... like it. now immabout2 listen again...
Amazing video and even better lyrics
Is the official title anxiety or anti-anxiety raps?
one of the best songs I've ever heard.
"My saints is dead comedians."
Eric Andre got me here
Depressed Disco Wait from which episode or video? I'd love to see it.
wish there was an instrumental version
holy shit its produced by Gold fucking Panda!!
Based god necklace
This guy needs to be big.
im here for hannibal
this is such a tune mike! props props props
Siriusly - how does this not have more views?
Who cares
fun this song is so fuckin amazing
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
Tmathh, interesting connection. Although I think MF Doom is more abstract in his flow and much less political than OME. Thoughts on that?
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
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.
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
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
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
This track is fire, but I much prefer the version that OME and Thundercat did on 'Why?'.
That bass
Kassem G on 2:46?)
Anyone know the sample?
Yo momma is my brother
MY BOY BURESSS
the ericandreshow brought me here, thank you so much eric fucking Andre
ERIC ANDRE
Me too!
Which episode/vid?
Vince Brault Just type in rapper ninja warrior
He's got the original Lil B necklace on from 2011
tell me why someone as talented as him is so underrated... while drake is waaaay overrated
One of my fav rappers!
+John Dever I'm a travellin man. Moving through places space and time.
+MH DOOM did you see my suggestion on the other vidoes
great song from a great album you just refrenced
This cat's smooth as hell.
Is it just me or does he look like a cross between Kendrick Lamar & Capital STEEZ?
na, but those are both legends so I fucks with you! lol
Moses Lawson the chorus is very k dot like imo
That's just you bro
Awsome song, awesome vid
Can't beat a bit of gold panda, and vox introduced me to this living legend. Awesome!
Shoutout to vox for helping me find such a talented rapper.
Same👌
Exactemundo, brotha!
0:57 MC Frontalot??
so the girl was never at the party?
Heard about him on Vox, this dude is fire :D
Same here
Me too! So good!
Beat kinda reminds me of 3005, but more interesting lol
Hannibal Burress is funny just by being on screen
0:32
when you blazed af
Never heard of him until I read something about him in XXL yesterday. this song has been on repeat since the first listen.
If you like open mike, then check out oddisee. They're in the same music group
I think everybody already knows who oddisee is if we're here, this not suppose to be a mean comment if it sounds that way btw sorry.
Damm... this is the realest shit.
Holy shit..... Gold Panda AND Open Mike Eagle?
I wanna turn up to this
fucking amazing
sound like juke music :)))) love it
I've had this song on repeat for 2 days now. Wow just amazing. Perfect.
any flac or wav torrent of this album? i really like this
Fucking buy it man
I'm totally going to keep watching till this guy gets 100,000 views.
Can't believe I just figured out there was a video for this song. Awesome song and nice video.
Am I the only one that discovered him through Improv4Humans? Thank you Matt Besser!
we all ain't never been to this planet and we all are smiling hmmm...
he seems like a mix of gambino, isaiah rashad and j cole
Literally makes no sense... Btw he is his own person i can't stand people that compare.
nigga fuck you
the beat has a clams casino vibe and i love it.
+Maicon M. sounds more like thundercat than clams. clammy more esoteric and mood altering
