Brandon George The latest release from Pink Navel, “EPIC,” is, in fact, an epic... “EPIC” is an epic in the reclamatory sense that it’s a grand journey, and in the sense that it inarguably has something to say.

XJ9 02:19
My final evolution is a super boring person With a hurting to go bald and rock my dads cap Got the past pack and I been studying Floozie sense of nothingness is Fading into understanding Banging and my knuckles hanging Low as I saunter along, Im that nigga a Young queer gorilla Stompin till I soften up to Many many many figures Bought the Bishojo on my own though Took a photo to control those feelings of losing it all, On a rhyme, I stop on a dime like XJ9’s ship Then I design ships for Hazbin Hotel stans on Tik Tok Scroll till, noticing an old pal with 40 milly views now How interesting, Maybe if I keep it pushing, Navel comes collecting Shit my shelf is stuffed, and my belt is tucked, And I’ve gained a bit, Savor it, the gator slips Off of the balcony and then Offers me a way back to fix it all And I stopped finally rapping about that ball And actually that was all
Actually that was all
 Actually that was all Funny you say that hey cat oh I Caught you code switch, But no I did not notice For some it works differently my Thicker tees feel weird now Stiff and green, the way I seen These people be keeping it real now Dot Epic stuff I’m a clear local legend, With a cult classic application Stamped by many brethren of the unsung, You can call me the dumb one if it gets me in the square, Navel always second guessing cutting off my hair And Maybe thats the motive, Scripted the opus on a chroms ship, with chrome tabs, and gold lips Dot, yet again, I’m chronologically saved, Passed the grave on a bad day, And I sang what my dad says, 
“Dear God, I hate to be a tattletale, but the white man is killing again.”

DIY TWITTER 02:48
I’m black, blackity black, weird as hell too. I’ll tell you, the apple didn’t fall at all, The carrot grew from dirty yard And had the gaul to go and become me, I’m that roaming subtle gumtree gumshoe up on a world tour, When people say they bump me, I usually say, “oh, sure.” I’m trying hard to transition to, Dot Dev the thumb head that Ruby fans listen to Who straddles DIY Twitter with high vigor and skill, Took time with every little detail and now I’m ill, Made a couple concept albums as frequent advances So really can you blame me if I’m flying by the seat of my pants. I’m confidently, weathered and worn, Writing this is slides from before I was born Scored to Stardew effects, Yo it’s obvious the bottle had to go and split the check, Maybe next time I visit I’ll have winnings on my neck, While I’m tweaking every knob at the crazy kiddie set, Yo it’s me yo it’s, yo it’s me yo it’s.. When I was all around Traveling with my crew, All I could really think, Was if I even had what it takes to get here my dude and, When I was all around, Traveling with my crew, All I could really think, Was if I had the brew That is just what I do, Just heard we should all go and delete facebook but, What’ll happen to Non Denominational Emo and uh, Where their pay took,
As I said this niggas coming collecting I’m,
Clearly intersecting and ceasing up all my jester ness, At least for a second it’s the, uh, baby elephant One more minute in the river with Tarzan, A tragic tanned star man with the Johnny Pneumonic flow The Bugle eating Mario watcher is on break,
So Imma take the opportunity to take their place The Bugle eating Mario watcher is on break, So Imma take the opportunity to take their place, uh Was all around, traveling with my crew All I could really think, Was if I had the brew, That is just what I do
3.
TIGUAN 02:13
I like how my car cycles through all known users of Bluetooth connections to find one that’s open But also of course when I uh, roll to a stop um, Sometimes the Dot kid bumps into encroaching this old thought, The person who owned my car last, her name is Emily. The Tiguan, remembers her heavily, Searching for her phone again, But all it finds is me Dev with Weatherbox queued up to Youtube The Clouds while I do stunts and few stump but lyrics like those, I wanna write a Lord Beerus light type poem.
Lay it onto a gold record fear enticed tomb and I roam, roam roam, the training never stops. It’s always little thoughts on who I am or am I liked enough or,
Did I get those likes I want? 
Ah shit, forget it I’m Gonna block the brain and focus on the lemon chicken, shit I’m Gonna block the brain and focus on the Lemon chicken, shit my Pen is sharp, my pen is dull Really does it matter dude All I nigga needs is vision, gumption, plus the attitude. Maybe like a rack or two for gas so I could Scatter through the past I wanna Do it like my dad with living latitude, Passion too. Yes of course I got it, it’s been covered.
Navel is the poster child for the funny buzzer bee Adopted as a teen, 
Many notes took about the operation of the Ruby Team And oh I worked it out dog!
And my voice makes the sun rise, and I’m lookin up to Sun Wise and I’m feeling super tongue tied Get to feeling super sponge rhymes, this is my sponge rhyme. Soak it all up if you could find, A combination of heeding a good time, But if you can’t dog it’s no pressure, Sometimes I just spit simply for the pleasure uh, That was right up on the header uh, Imma do it super better, uh.

GAZEBO RAPS 02:04
Mom goat a gazebo, and it’s cool, and I watched her build it.
Maybe I should get my own if I have children, And dedicate my efforts to relax and chillin, A strong network, goes to leads to pastures biggen, yup. My 40 acres area theme park Even to enter, one must already believe dark. We got those bottle games, caught a green shark And if you’d come to like to take a peak behind the green tarp. Theres many ways to live a life, yes yes. But when you come to choosing mine you get that tightened chest Finally one replaces nine and those forks connect, And I be walking down a line with a chord mic check, Dot!
Been a young blood for a nanosec, Didn’t notice time had come for me to go and cram it yet, So I’m reevaluating best, ways To keep my salivating breath. The well was dry the well was dry, And just when it was time for Navel to go let it by, Received the parcel of the documents that went and hide, And it lit the spark of good luck that had rocketed my mind, um Clearly it’s a lot to take in but… This is how I win.
I’m gonna script it for my kin, And my niggas and Jen, and my niggas and Jen Clearly it’s a lot to take in but… This is how I win.
I’m gonna script it for my kin, And my niggas and Jen, and my niggas and Jen

Silly Billy reprimanded Plus a few collectors cans I Doubled up to get demanded Back another time Killing it the set was famished Afterwards a thicky sandwich Driving through Simmards regaling Couple larger fries Kinda what I Liked to do plus All the ways the Psyduck dude buffs Everyone around the waves of
Clearly something nice Lately I have been on fire Burnin up my own desire Quit the cigs and now I’m tired Of the bells collide I will never finish letter I will write this verse forever Sew it to my favorite sweater When I’m rapping live If you see my gettin cheddar Know that I remember Getter Mapping out the whole vocabulary Into Vine. Thats to say my brain is cluttered Date from some kinda other Life I lived behind the summer screen And when I blinked, All my web pages are lost Couldn’t do it I’m exhaust So I grabbed a couple Parchment papers and some ink yo its Dot, diggity dot dot Dev I’m that cartoon fanatical Sporadically associating things into a song All I do is pluck on strings Across my vast bulletin board And then I go on tour Hoping for a new installment Of the motive, ooh I got it Vivid dreams they keep me honest Let it run it’s course Eager to get messy now it’s
Epic what I’ve built around this Cinematic universe of sound That I retort You could say I’m leading devs Or leaving Devs’ of older skin To bolster in or up my current swinging pattern beats Kinda like I finally noticed All the time I spent in Soulfolks Added up to goin so nuts That I never leave Never leave never leave never leave Soulfolks when I breath when I breath when I breath dog Never leave never leave never leave Soulfolks when I breath when I breath when breath yeah!!!!

The soft animation fanatic has entered the room A cross up complacency passion camera zoom If anyway the way that it happens panders to you With two shoes I choose up It’s cruel but My syllables massive handle for you To pass it up could’ve been cash and stamina dude The capacitors on loop or low I’m watching Lilo, but I still grip this mean flow, Like action pack G Joe with not a much to lose Sobble like I’m Blue’s Clues guessing Who’s who too desperate fools 
Follow the obsessives rules, Not I I’m Pink with the sharpie scratching, Bars to pass time and I’m fine who’s asking Shimmy when I close my eyes, Silly when I’m gettin giddy flow all bright People always asking if I grow high tide So then I got a superpower like I glow sky high, yeah Grandma on the side ring the bell dinner time When I fell running by Running Laps was devised 
Grandma on the side ring the bell dinner time When I fell running by Running Laps was devised I’m Done with the lore though, let it self replicate. I will never turn into a rapper self deprecate, I will never lose my great cunning and skill To manifest a spell that could make another one ill, no. This is just the opposite of what I want to do, Do you hear the pocket kid its manifesting groove Do you think I’d really want to sour up the mood with some off kilter beat rhyme outlining my doom? 
It’s not timely of you, to go request that path, And I will never go there let me stress that fact Even if debts got cashed, and hella set backlash The better yet Dev laughs, will always bless this track And when the best comes last, around the bend comes I When the chants on blast, I’m rubbernecking wide A rubber hose cartoon, assuming you are the protag, I’m the funny friends side characters ghost dad And I own that, When I get up on there and just giggle you are so mad Like it’s problem officer, but you are lacking gonads So I will let it free like Butterfree when she go ghosts Ash…. Danny Phantom, When I get to this part at the show through your hands up, Obviously Dot Dev is rocking out a tantrum so complete The beat loops and you just keep on chantin… Danny Phantom, When I get to this part at the show through your hands up, Obviously Dot Dev is rocking out a tantrum so complete The beat loops and you just keep on chantin… Danny Phantom, When I get to this part at the show through your hands up, Obviously Dot Dev is rocking out a tantrum so complete The beat loops and you just keep on chantin…

Single out he mouth that speaks, Nunchucks for the dumb fucks And I whisper whenI thump the be a Some luck feeling dumb struck Then I noticed I was someone neat,
After years of training, rapping All about the memes and my own discrete anguish Blink and the time flutters by like Shinobu Kocho Imma need the antidote so, I can go on tour again The roaming group of board again, The In n Out was blasted the last time I was in Texas That was triple years ago the craving is just so perplexing Simply hangry for adventure um a spot date just won’t do I Still got the frisbee we can pass around the whole crew In the giant Buc-ees parking lot, Numb to how those times are lost but never could I quit, I just took my time to gettin heavy with the flips Fell in love, got a buzz, and rebutted those cigs to a shrug Now I plunge into one owners BIG DVD copy See thoughts be still up on the media But feel as much that stories true or false will always live Feeding much to breathing tough is reason why I quit It’d be better for my kids So I’m putting in the time so I can live forever with All the people that yo honestly I though didn’t exist and Clearly I am passed that The PS4 ambience does not score my eclipse anymore So I’m not so bored of how it begins These days are greeted by, seeing my, future Sneeze and I, lean to tie, sneakers I’m built for Freezing tides seem to lie, temperatures picture All the red, in my head, left with a fixture and uhhh Thats the gist, sir.

EXIT FACTOR 02:27
Tik Tokkers, talkin bout interpolation Percolates into them becoming some kind of snitch, Snitch the glitch on the racing game Pays the same to be not doing this, But I still do, I’m um Collaborating with my league and then
Letting what I’ve been through be Passionately evergreen content for an application Severed the boom bap song replacement to Hopefully afford me one day a Disney vacation see um Why you think I stream on Twitch? Yes it’s very fun but I also dropped out, so it’s really all I get Very badly much wanna sling these words to my end, But my fallback plan is the civil servant exam But I’m so killer with the fans so, Really how could I drop it? Never thought a Navel tape would be sounding so exhausted but uh The Dot Dev kid simply needs to release, My life may be Epic but I’m still feeling the heat, Gotta, I gotta I gotta I gotta Keep it pushin, movie, fly and groovy too I want to be so big I am lied about by FouseyTube Signing things with smiles and epic up on my signature Fame is not a dirty word when it comes from the diaphragm On this path it so so likely To spite me, despite grief My dad wrote to Spike Lee I find these and realize that Navel will never fold Gettin’ comfortable with reshaping my entire mold Meaning my entire flow might process a transformation But if I don’t experiment did I really earn my placement Wrote my first rhyme I was in my grandmas basement Sneezing cause I was vaccumin the Roomba kid was Gracin space and making food music, Very tasty pots and pans for drums it was just Too crude and very natural That’s my main Exit Factor, When I end my set with laughter, Clearly I am bred to capture that this Life of an artist is what I’m mean to craft Big facts. That shit is big facts Dot Dev with the wrist slap, cmon.

I don’t like that quiet serious musician attitude If you are a grateful bard then you should change the magnitude Of how you magnify or flatterize all your disaster tunes To get a group of kids to feel the same brand of the sad as you What, uh, is that too much for an opening bar? I don’t wanna open a scar, I should return to my hear Flushin cutie kid demeanor and be neater How I operate is of the student breather
Constant concentration thoughts adjacent To the honest scrapin of the ballpoint aching After all I’m hard to place and Charging greatness loose leaf member,
You are amazed at how I rap the way with fluid gender Well let me say I can be hot for days but shoo the tender That is how the coop my tenure Into odd criteria so serious or bright but uh, Just for a second, Navel needs the center light and to Darken the rest of the stage My pen us unbestedly great Eventually checkin the date And oh, I spent most of my days Exploring and honing this modern art that I’m gifted with
I will be part of the generation that goes and flips the script And that is it, dog I said, that is it, dog I said I wanna be pastern can’t do it with my flashy hymms 
Check it, dedicated Devin, with that dedotated wam When I slam my fist to heaven, Hope that daddy sees my glam Rocker show stopping placement On the scare floor I’m encasing What I’m there for, very late but, Need a laugh or too to power up Don’t wanna be no sour puss or coward dun In a mask like Howard getting flower snubbed An hour plus, could rap for longer though I have opened gigs where people tell me four songs then you go
So we have time to set up these amps and just cry I feel my hands tough as I rhyme Just to prove myself to a Room of kids who had never knew had DOOM had felt I’m in suitor hell, the room was humid still the music tells Anything I wanted to confused with with a bell Ding nigga, order up I could say you’re welcome or just flip the quarter cup, Dot.

ZE FRANK 02:47
When I get home I’m sipping on my Moxie All I do is watch video essays about Boxxy Alpha Cat and Meekakitty now its Tessa Violot This is what I used to let go inside of my iris Cannot get a virus from WheezyWaiter when blaster Platoon of Power Squadron was always the main attraction How of course could I forget the brother John and Hank I am the only rapper who knows Ze Frank I am the only rapper who knows Ze Frank I am the only rapper who knows Ze Frank I am the only rapper who.. SXE Phil is still around and so is iJustine When I’m logging on its Scott the Woz or you can leave Thoughts are on if Markiplier’s arms could help me squeeze Out another video from Dunkey that’d be neat RIP to H3, Zumiez tee, what a chewed fad Adam the Woo is the greatest living tube dad Not ShayCarl what a tragic turn of phrase, yo I am the only rapper who knows Ze Frank I am the only rapper who knows Ze Frank I am the only rapper who knows Ze Frank I am the only rapper who… There is not a nigga on that I would say is better bruh, With my deepest respects say rest peacefully Etika Being black while liking all this stuff it aint too easy When I need a bigger chuckle I put on Berleezy, Maybe when I’m sleepy a bit fo the Zaibatsu Woolie you a God Hand Superfriend fight dude Maybe when I’m pondering’ I’ll be watching Dax Flame I am the only rapper who knows Ze Frank I am the only rapper who knows Ze Frank I am the only rapper who knows Ze Frank I am the only rapper who knows Ze Frank

(Written by Ze Frank) Don't call it a come-back, I'll have hair for years. I'm scared. I'm scared that my abilities are gone. I'm scared that I'll f*** this up. And I'm scared of you. I don't wanna' start, but I will. This is an invocation for anyone who hasn't begun; who's stuck in a terrible place between 0 and 1. Let me realize that my past failures at follow-through are no indication of my future performance. They're just healthy little fires that are gonna' warm up my ass. If my FILDI* is strong, let me keep him in a velvet box until I really really need him. If my FILDI* is weak let me feed him oranges and not let him gorge himself on ego and arrogance. Let me not hit up my Facebook like it's a crack-pipe, keep the browser closed. If I catch myself wearing a tutu (too fat, too late, too old), let me shake it off like a donkey would shake off something it doesn't like. When I get that feeling in my stomach, you know that feeling when all the sudden you get a ball of energy and it shoots down into your legs and up into your arms and tells you to get up and stand up and go to the refrigerator and get a cheese sandwich - that's my cheese monster talking. And my cheese monster will never be satisfied by cheddar, only the cheese of accomplishment. Let me think about the people that I care about the most. And how when they fail or disappoint me I still love them, I still give them chances, and I still see the best in them - let me extend that generosity to myself. Let me find and use metaphors to help me understand the world around me, and give me the strength to get rid of them when it's apparent that they no longer work. Let me thank the parts of me that I don't understand or are outside of my rational control, like my creativity and my courage. Let me remember that my courage is a wild dog, it won't just come when I call it. I have to chase it down and hold on as tight as I can. Let me not be so vain to think that I am the sole author of my victories, and a victim of my defeats. Let me remember that the unintended meaning that people project on what I do is neither my fault, nor something that I can take credit for. Perfectionism may look good in his shiny shoes, but he's a little bit of an asshole and nobody invites him to their pool parties. Let me remember that the impact of criticism is often not the intent of the critic; but when the intent is evil - that's what the block button is for. And when I eat my critique, let me be able to separate out the good advice from the bitter herbs. There are few people who won't be disarmed by a genuine smile. Let me not think of my work only as a stepping stone to something else, and if it is, let me become fascinated by the shape of the stone. Let me take the idea that has gotten me this far, and put it to bed. What I'm about to do will not be that. But it will be something. There's no need to sharpen my pencils anymore, my pencils are sharp enough - even the dull ones will make a mark. Warts and all, let's start this shit up. And, God, let me enjoy this. Life isn't just a sequence of waiting for things to be done Fuck It, Let's Do It

R U BASHFUL? 03:35
Hey Hi Hello, Don’t Forget To Be Awesome it’s The crazed rhyming pro Pink Navy with the condiment Conglomerate Confident in a slumber for a bit But just then you bumped the mouse and now I exist Time lapse Lego build kid staying filled in
Eyes flash yellow tinged with halo tilted Synapse neurotransmit what I aim with Favorite kinda weapon is this flame script dog Make you save it, Supernatural, the tee reads R U BASHFUL? Navel captures, all cool new excursion flows Already know how the intended version goes One of my many skills Navel throws many hats to rings for every bill come across The world needs this new flavor Yeah it’s pretty epic but imagine if it paid for me Apartment, cool head when I start shit From LARPin’ to gettin swift with the mark pen Kumquat kid, some think, even few spit Knew this when I had agreed to the crew ship Very grateful Look at all this power that I wield and now I’m faithful Catching up with gameplay premiere what a staple Of how Dev operates with epic label It’s Rubyyachting, thought’s are honest This is whole, Navel belongs to be in the center of the mirror I see myself clearer I see myself clearer I

I’m being serious, believe me dog Exoskeleton suit I wear in fear of y’all Maybe I should go and get myself remastered too My grief is strong but I want to hear disaster tunes sometimes I get it, quite a cathartic connection. I was just tryna keep it pleasant But when I check it The numbers go up and they go down, That will never kill my silly universe of sound Having fun doesn’t mean changing the beat so dramatically My favorite rapper said the best ones are not cohesive thematically And I took it to heart, Black keys and all, I snap clean then fall down
EPIC, thank you very much for coming.
I don’t know how to end this so imma keep on buzzing EPIC, thank you very much for coming I don’t know how to end this so imma keep on buzzing No you can’t stop me Said you can’t stop me No you can’t stop me no you can’t No you can’t stop me I said you can’t stop me I said no you can’t stop me no you can’t Very Epic Dedicated Devin very epic with that big old bag of dedotated wam Very Epic Dedicated Devin very epic with that big old bag of dedotated wam
