About Me


"I'm sippin' wishing well water imported from Pluto
That's why my eyes is glassy
So you ain't gotta ask me
The interplanetary Illuminati move your body
I trekked the stars first, so fuck Kirk and Scotty
I threw basement parties on the Mothership
Now I'm on planet Earth on some other shit..."
