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

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

SOULFOLKS BOUNCE
02:29

|

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!!!!

DANNY PHANTOM

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…

NUNCHUCKS AT BUC-EES
01:45
|
|
||
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.

GRATEFUL BARD
02:51
|
|
||
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.

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?

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
