the next track, 'Error message', immedately stands out. its the most normal title out of both the outtakes and the mixtape and the least distorted track on here, hence it placing directly in the center of the album. its almost intentional, given that i was certain that this is the "hit" of the mixtape, the "ObJeCtIvElY bEsT" track on here, its the one with some of the most fun vocal inflections ive had on here, once again mastering the "part-freestyle" technique, while paired with only a mildly unusual instrumental and very slight pitch manipulation, like on "3x10". however, even if its not the most "normal", i still would, at some point in time, love to perform this song live in front of an audience, singing every word back to me. its like up there with "would perform" with 'STOP MEe', which was my favourite song of mine for a while.

Lyrics

[Chorus]
Baby, I’m an addict, addict
Waiting for the addy, addy
Time flies, but I had it-had it
Ten toes down while I'm sitting in an attic
Sincerely, I don’t want money
Don't talk to me 'bout nun' funny
Wardrobe lookin' like a snow bunny
Same ones that run around with me on a Monday

[Verse]
And don't talk 'bout love with me
I only love me, that's how it be
Talk about "it ain't what it seems"
Where the fuck were you in 2016?
In 2016
Back then I was just a jit with a dream
Tryna get some money, now I'm gunning for a team
Lookin' at me funny I'ma have to fuck a spleen up
Fuck being the jani', I don't clean up
Now I'm being so jammy, I blow the scene up
Wonder why you can't stop me when I reload
Baby wanna fuck but I had to do the "nee-naw"
If she wanna strip it then my nose kinda runny
I bet it's all about views for you, honey
Well, let me tell you about how we started (how we started, yeah)

[Bridge]
Back when I was taking out the trash, I was singing EDM songs to my fuckin' self
But that was when I was like ten so I cannot be mad when I’m making my dreams come true
So when you say fuck me, why the fuck should I say fuck you?
'Cause I got a lot of life to live, and I know what to do, yeah

[Chorus]
Baby, I’m an addict, addict
Waiting for the addy, addy
Time flies, but I had it-had it
Ten toes down while I'm sitting in an attic
Sincerely, I don’t want money
Don't talk to me 'bout nun' funny
Wardrobe lookin' like a snow bunny
Same ones that run around with me on a Monday
Baby, I’m an addict, addict
Waiting for the addy, addy
Time flies, but I had it-had it
Ten toes down while I'm sitting in an attic
Sincerely, I don’t want money
Don't talk to me 'bout nun' funny
Wardrobe lookin' like a snow bunny
Same ones that run around with me on a Monday

[Outro]
And fuck y'all for not trusting me (that's right, that's right)
I got my next fuckin' five to ten albums planned out (for sure)
All concepts, ideas, I'm gonna run through them
I’m gonna take so much effort (so much effort)
To make it as good as possible (I promise, I promise, I promise)
Y'all keep calling me out for bullshit for that (No bullshit, no bullshit, no bullshit)
'Cause you know damn well I'm gonna be
I'm gonna make the best shit in a few years (best shit ever)
And you're gonna be watching me
'Cause that’s all you can to do
