(ceci n’est pas une guitar ni li kalama uta) i been in the game for a year now took a lil while, but i’m here now showed ‘em what i had, they said it warranted a badge why the hell did i think it wasn’t clear how now i’m coming back on the mic the studio one, that’s right out from the dorm, back in the home, bass with the amp simulator on the vox, automating the delay time i’m making bank in a business they ain’t even heard of i only stumble over my words tryna explain just half of a third of what kinda world i’m living in terms of now even they want me to get the word out 137, to be unexact they think it’s crazy i made that work out brains getting blurred out cause on top of the lyricism, yeah i made the beats hit top of the line before they’re even completed go ahead with the tuner, boy, i don’t even need it and on top of the quality, i stay friendly to speak with don't care if i blow up, that’s how i intend to keep it if i’m being real i still don’t fully believe this but jesus would be a good rhyme if i said the name that way so i gotta go meta hardly would be my song if i didn’t i know the way i write and i woulda dodged that shit if i didn’t know better but y’all love me and i don’t dodge evidence i’m too busy here setting precedents getting a bit excessive like pali nasa mi wile e mani la mi ken kalama suli e nimi sama “wawa” sama “pipi” sama “mama” mama mi li ken kute e ni nasin pi jan mute la mi nasa taso ala (sina pilin monsuta ala monsuta?) taso mani li kama tawa mi toki sewi li kama tawa mi sona mute li kama tawa mi ijo ni li pona tawa mi lukin mi la mi ken monsuta tenpo pini la ken ni li lon ala (a a a, musi a—sina o pilin monsuta) ni la o jan pi awen toki lawa ni: mi o awen lili sama ni a la sina ken ala lukin mi kama pilin e ni: sina lon ala lon tenpo mi ni la mi ken weka e sona toki sina lon tenpo ale ken la lon ni li awen utala sina la sitelen mi li lon e wile mi kepeken pilin wawa pi ken ala lape ni li ike taso sina wile ala pake la mi toki suli sin e ni: (omekalikante) (i still haven't brushed my teeth yet, i should probably do that)

about

Happy birthday omekalike!

I've been saving this remix up for quite a while, tweaking it and adding new elements over the course of like months. Two days ago I made a mad dash to write the lyrics (both in English and in Toki Pona, don't freak out!), yesterday I recorded and edited them, and today here we are ^^

The drums, sfx, main vocals, and text-to-speech are all new additions on the track, but everything else was made using vocal clips from the original omekalike.

Much love to all y'all. I'm still very much blown away by, like, all of what's happened with my music this year. This is not at all where I thought rejoining ma pona was going to lead me, but I'm so glad it did. sina ale li pona sewi a.
