1.	Artist Anthem 2022 [prod. Hollywood Legend] 03:29	lyrics
I am an artist I am free I am an artist, it’s all about me I write my own songs and I’m doing it well I am an artist and I hate myself I wake up in the morning and I wish I was dead It’s taking all my motivation just to get out of bed I’m so high living like a million dollars in debt You don’t become an artist till you’re fucked in the head It’s been so long And my life has changed It’s an old song But it bites the same And if you like it, then you might just be insane (You’re insane, you’re insane, you’re insane) But if you want it, then I’ll bring it back Live forever, never fade to black Cause I’m an artist, and it’s my job to entertain (Entertain, entertain) Lemme hear you say Oh I need professional help I am an artist and I hate myself I am an artist I am unique I say I’m normal but I’m really a freak Hi it’s very nice to meet you call me Alex Liu I’ll tell you all my secrets though they’re not always true My attachment issues run deep as oceans exploding I seem proud to admit to people I don’t feel emotion And now I go to therapy yet keeping so much unspoken 4 years later it’s clear to see that I’m still fucking broken Yeah it’s been so long And my life has changed It’s an old song But it bites the same And if you like it, then you might just be insane (You’re insane, you’re insane, you’re insane) But if you want it, then I’ll bring it back Live forever, never fade to black Cause I’m an artist, and I make empathy from pain (I’m in pain, I’m in pain) Lemme hear you say Oh I need professional help I am an artist and I hate myself In this new world yeah it kinda hits different doesn’t it? I no longer crave fame, just someone who’ll listen, fuck it There’s no game to play, no danger to abstain from Eventually we all return to where we came from So make your shit, draw your pictures, fuck the ones you want Keep the day job, write a novel, use an ugly font The world is better with your brain in the mix And to all my crazy fans, I’d like to thank you with this If you don’t hate me, and you like this song And when you play it, you can sing along Well then I thank you, it really makes my fucking day While we’re together, yeah we’ll bring it back Live forever, never fade to black Cause we are artists, and we make empathy from pain (We’re in pain, we’re in pain) Lemme hear you say Oh I need professional help I am an artist and I hate myself

I love this whole album: It just captures a wide range of experiences and affects the listener with a wide range of emotions. I first liked this album because of the nerdcore elements, but I fell in love when I realized that these verses were true poetry, speaking to a deeper truth and beauty unlike most hip-hop I've heard. "A Poet" exemplifies this with its bittersweet message about how poetry is not valued. This is the first hip-hop tune I've ever shed a tear over. Take a bow, Mega Ran. platinumazure

Couldn't have made "BURNER" without the Nerdcore genre this man started. Love this O.G.'s exasperated take on the modern internet, and hope he hasn't given it up entirely! Laurence Warner
