LOKI (ACOUSTIC VERSION)

Notes

In November of 2013 I released "Loki" on my Soundcloud, and I haven't been able to beat its impact with any other release of mine to date. "Loki" has since garnered millions of streams across all streaming platforms, and has frankly been a huge reason for any kind of success I've had over the years. I owe this song a lot, and it's arguably the song most special to me from my catalog of music. (And I almost didn't release it because of personal issues related to the song--a whole 'nother wild story)

This is a fresh acoustic rendition of "Loki," with guitar and bass done by my brother Niko, as well as some luscious background vocals by my homie Tyler. I plan for this to be the first song on an EP comprised of 5-6 acoustic renditions of old and new songs, which will live on both Catalog and streaming services.

The owner of this piece will be entitled to, upon request:

-10% of streaming revenue once this song goes up on streaming platforms

-a physical copy of the lyrics

-stems from this song's project file (vocals, guitar, bass, etc.)

LYRICS:

Yea

Feelin' on her while I'm subtweeting you

Composing in your name when there's nothing to do

I have more thoughts about you than i have feelings for her

I mean I like her, I do, but in spurts

Winter approaches and i hear it'll be a long one

I'm praying i spend it with you

And not the wrong one

I got a lotta work to do up until then

Nobody's ever won in this position

Let the games begin (begin)

Wheat timbs, military green flannel

I just think my outfit's wavy, i don't mean to ramble

Date night, scoop her up in the carriage

She look delicious in that velvet skirt she snuck by her parents

I like the way she put together

I feel like she wants it

Evening in the city with me got her running like a faucet

Between the pauses in the talking you come into focus

She want it all, but I'm too busy daydreaming to notice

I'm thinking yo

If they only knew

Got my hands on her

And my mind on you

All eyes on me

Lies gettin' obese

But i gotta keep you close

So I keep it loki

So I keep it loki

The repercussions of me coming clean are catastrophic

But fuck I'm supposed to do

Take this all the way to the coffin?

If you want honesty I'll give it to you so good, so good

You just gotta ask me to break you off, ma

When I'm with a girl

I'm wishing you would hit me with an emergency to come get you or something

People chirpin' like they got me all figured out or something

I just hope they never find out what they already know

So I'm like yo...

If they only knew

Got my hands on her

And my mind on you

All eyes on me

Lies gettin' obese

But I gotta keep you close

So I keep it loki

So I keep it loki

I know how to treat you

I know how much space to leave you

I know how to freak you

I know where to meet you

I know how to love your features

I know how you like it bumping outcha speakers

I know not to put you on a pedestal or leak your secrets

I know how you love it raining out

I could pick your outfit out for you and we can wave it out

I can inspire you

We can take the town by storm

You've barely scratched the surface of me

But when you cut to the core?

It's just yo...

If they only knew

Got my hands on her

And my mind on you

All eyes on me

Lies gettin' obese

But I gotta keep you close

So I keep it loki

So I keep it loki

You deserve the best

So when I look around at my competition I'm not impressed

You're not a trophy to me to put on my mantle and boast about

If you surrender to me we can pack it up

Cash in both our phones and see what all that European coast is about

I'm berry serious

You do the cutest damn things sometimes and I hate it

Just please stay the fuck from 'round me whenever I'm faded

It's already tough as it is, man

Yo...

If they only knew

Got my hands on her

And my mind on you

All eyes on me

Lies gettin' obese

But I gotta keep you close

So I keep it loki

So I keep it loki
