Sample: "Sprout and the Bean" by Joanna Newsom

lyrics

And you can ask the counselor
And you can ask the king
And they'll -

Saying that I’ll get up but I’m fed up with the process
Want to get a little better stead of metamorphosis
Ever since I was a sinner or since I was born
I been trying to find a way to take the pain out like an ostrich
When I put my head in the ground
Deaden the sound
I be chillin with my medicine distracted by the nonsense
Conscious of the fact I should be doing the opposite
Competent in procrastination of accomplishment
Honestly it’s complicated trying to have autonomy
Not to follow after all the options that’s in front of me
I’m only a man I can’t do everything I’m trying to be
My doctor is my heavenly Father doing lobotomy
I ask him why I’m applying to jobs that I don’t delight in
I know He died upon a cross but I got reminded
A little sprout can be hellish to grow
When it explodes from the shell and the blemishes show

I been obsessed with evanescence since my adolescence
I wanna make a message with electroluminescence
Omnipresence trying to say something that’s everlasting
Through the passages of time
Catch the minds of masses
Used to think that kind of message was a laughing matter
Now I pat my back for trying to be a madder hatter
That’s the catalyst for feeling like a cattle
Or a boat without a paddle
Or a donkey with a saddle
Take an artist go head and make a martyr of ‘em
Feed ‘em fairy tails and tell ‘em find a lover
Bottom line it’s kind of hard to mono-color
Life is kind of complicated I’ve discovered
Trying to focus on the stone that covers up the sprout
If I own it for a moment I can take out
A little sprout can be hellish to grow
When it explodes from the shell and the blemishes show

And you can ask the counselor
And you can ask the king
And they'll -

It’s a place that’ll make you and break you
They praise you a day for your breakthrough
And wait for your breakdown
When they say your amazing and thank you
You basically thinking that they bated you
Weighed down
Morale at the bottom of the ocean
Make sound
All of ‘em ‘ell follow your devotion
Chased down challenges until they ain't an issue
You’re face down
Galloping through battles like a missile
Wait now
What if growing means you gotta stop
Rolling up a boulder but you only hit a rock
Wanna leave a mark but you don’t want it to be chalk
Overworked
That karoshi got you murdered on the spot
And the verdict is the furnace was a burden on you body
Burning up your mind that’s why it’s hard to learn
Your thoughts are cloudy
Dropping water for a sprout that be hellish to grow
It explodes from the shell and the blemishes show

I steady waste time looking for a straight line
Steada improvising on the cadence of the bass line
Make it rhyme
It is a twisted string
May as well sing sing
Steada chase spring flings with the bling bling
Sipping pain away
Only think on the ching ching
Looking for the pay
Try to mingle into fame
But I’ll never leave trace
Not a single cent
Not single fingerprint will stay
Take a big offense
Shouldn’t let my ego in the game
I be feeling that neglect like Puerto Rico
It’s a shame
Cus the fame’s hella fickle
Strange like a cucumber that changed to a pickle
Sheltered when it when it rains
Now you can’t feel it trickle
How you gonna have a breakthrough
Shattering the glass
Shout out even when it aches you
A little sprout can be hellish to grow
When it explodes from the shell and the blemishes show
