[Verse 1] Nature is red See nature is red in the nail, tooth and the claw I happen to roll with an unusual squad Cannibal poets that straight chew through the rot Body and blood shed like the disciples Fry with your eyes closed But I’m gonna spite those guys on the micro Who might wanna try roast I like a spiced goat Ouroboros- I’m gonna enjoy myself Better check recipe boy This meal better taste heavenly boy [Bridge 1] Portly form Portly form Portly form [Bridge 2] Another world to propagate on (But what do I consume?) Brand new mat to prostrate on (Soul nourished but not the body) Witness the wild flux in aeon (Yea, hunger will do that to you) Nights eternal and cold, alien days long (This is quite the grim soliloquy) [Verse 2] Iconoclash the deities, make em meet a brutal end Nas snuffed Jesus, so I'll put 100k on Buddha’s head Ouroboros with a portly form - that’s a smorgasbord So my force is warned about the tour of duty Straight vore consumes me Don’t bore me dudey Pass the fork and uzi [Chorus] Self sustaining ouroboros with a portly form (tail in mouth) With a portly form (tail in mouth) With a portly form (tail in mouth) With a portly form (tail in mouth) With a portly form, oh oh oh oh Self sustaining ouroboros with a portly form (tail in mouth) With a portly form (tail in mouth, let it out) With a portly form (tail in mouth, let it out) With a portly form (tail in mouth, let it out) With a portly form, oh oh oh oh I do the animal sashay Taking a trip to the cannibal cafe Cut off my nose not to spite the face Rather cause I like the taste It’s an Armin Meiwes performance my way Vorarephilia on god I’m feeding the doggish feeling in Savan’s ileum Start feasting Autocannibalism, man on a riddim Savan’s toes, pan and a griddle, damn if I didn’t Start those hand folded hands folded Damn poet Only person eating me is me Not sharing with the million dons who wanna sit with DePaul This hickory hog is gonna sit with Savan [Chorus] Self sustaining ouroboros with a portly form (tail in mouth) With a portly form (tail in mouth) With a portly form (tail in mouth) With a portly form (tail in mouth) With a portly form, oh oh oh oh Self sustaining ouroboros with a portly form (tail in mouth) With a portly form (tail in mouth, let it out) With a portly form (tail in mouth, let it out) With a portly form (tail in mouth, let it out) With a portly form, oh oh oh oh

[Verse] Blast, Spitfire over Dunkirk Nah up the ante much worse Like wyvern lash out tongue burn Or fucking cannon slug burst The crew wants to get hyper But nigga I can son you on the side like a budding hydra Been raw since back when mad skets bought dope weighed And my ex done bought the low grade cocaine? I just drank OJ And let my jagged wicked stream-of-consciousness rhythms Beat your face and have you bowing to a dominant written Blast, that raw vocal on the mic diaphragm Blast, DePaul broke ya rhyme to pieces lying scant Blast, my god I told ya I could beat all types of Stans Blast, hope y'all brought a vital need to die at hand Listen Wannabe miyagis wanna wax poetic, get off Latch on a track magnetic - I sic dogs Klaxon blast your message, is it hard If not, Orlok attack your neck and rip raw Protect like Wu posse cuts Who body us? Kicking flavor, hoo Badia's You just commentary like Funaki bruv Swimming through that deep blue náutica You gotta cut that shit out and be mild You ain't child of Belial You just smile and seem mild I go sonic and seem Guile when I go rhyme in freestyle You hematophagous lecher, yo we should properly test ya Unleash that ominous presence and breach the spot with the pressure You seek a spot for the treasure where mi carotid be present like it's been crossed with the x And then bite bite bite you leech off me That's why I ride lonely probably Unless the right people on me No more vampires, be off me

[Verse] Became a stranger in his own family Roaming alone living nomad fantasy Don’t gimme that “whine, moan” tired slow pity shit Can’t run from the fact that you’re mentally hideous You’ve called yourself cosmonaut and cosmophile for fun Meanwhile your own blood hesitates to call you son And all because you use your own illness as a crutch Disgusting, you’re encrusted with ignorance and such I know it’s not deliberate but get yourself some help The only human being you are hurting is yourself Your constant need to make art is noble in sense However you must take part in growing all your strengths I concur Savan, necessary change is so due In order to accomplish this I must kill the old you Your addled brain has gotten us this far, good job Your service to the cause and the mission we applause

[Verse] My kin weren't that self aware Neither was I Running into devils with an evil disguise Life or cash, they took either of mine My piece of the pie My kin weren't that good at rapping But I was My tantric tantrum left minds fucked Caused blood pressures to spike up So I buzzed My kin weren't that body conscious Hottest topic Oblong object they gobble often Libido seemed so awfully monstrous Want the knob kid My kin gave only stiffy, no flaccid peter Phallus eater, acid sheeter Fucking on homeboy at the cleaners Acid sheeter Fucking on homeboy at the cleaners Acid sheeter Fucking on homeboy at the cleaners [Chorus] Might not make it to adolescence Might not make it to adolescence Might not make it to adolescence Might not make it to adolescence Might not make it to adolescence

[Verse] Had a lot of blessings I certainly wouldn’t call burgin' or working with nerdy kids a burden Unfortunately respect comes with large audiences You aren’t audible if you can’t bring all of em in Nope - condition and lifestyle contributes to that Feels like a seppuku incision in fact Like that nagging sebaceous cyst in my back Self-starving artist, that shit is a fact Why can’t I make large leaps to make moves Is it a familial need to pay dues Maybe the lack of a whip and cash in your grip Could be your passenger quick abandoning ship Growing tired of the attic and shadowed corner And I thought socialising was a massive order I thought by this time I’d be the aura of the room Shit the moth hasn’t even broken the cocoon Still ensnared and ugly as ever Still ill prepared and hungry whenever Undeterred by the allostatic load Must consume time with infallible rapid flow But laser guided focus is paramount to success A trait I’m know to lack in my quest Tell this to my cerebral complex Goes like this [Chorus](2x) Gotta stay focused Fuck a scatterbrain, stay focused All necessary to live your best moments If you really want to be Live like Poets In order to do so you gotta stay focused Stay focused Clear all of that bullshit that’s clogged inside of your head Cuz if you don’t try for goals it’ll fry your soul when you lie upon your deathbed

about

".cranium.scatter." finally gets her sister. The 2017 mostly-instrumental EP now has a full length follow-up, perfectly fitting the pre-Ishtar period of Savan DePaul's discography. Part sample-wielding beatsmith, part art rapper extraordinaire, part porno-house provocateur, part funk-loving Afrofuturist, and part fledgling bedroom pop singer if the house floated through Jupiter's atmosphere. Picking his own brain for ideas and appetizers in between beat sessions, DePaul lays it all out in the name of melting brains.

This was a lo-fi labor of love, rough in all the right places and warped in all the others. The mind may be flawed but its work rate cannot be denied.
