This is the life I chose, yeah And this the life I'm living No matter how it goes I gotta deal with the cards I'm given That's why I don't mess around Don't mess around 'Cause you know I'll lay you down I'll lay you down This is the life I chose, chose, chose, chose Up all night, thinking 'bout the stuff that I wrote A member of this hip hop scene is the life that I chose I know I'm only fifteen; what facts of life can I quote? I'm good with my schoolwork, although I'm taking half notes I'm not from any slums, but I'm not just any rich kid Being born in the business, you don't count as a witness Of somebody on a comeup, 'cause you only can get lower What's money to a sellout when they're truly mediocre? Running through the four and four although I'm writing solo I'm in love with this music, like others are with the cocoa Milwaukee city all my life, I'm all about that loco I caught you with your flash on, I know you're taking photos There's a time and place for everything but what's right is here I'm finally doing what I want to with nothing to interfere I carry around my CDs, my milestone souvenir 'Cause this life I chose; to me, it's so clear This is the life I chose, yeah And this the life I'm living No matter how it goes I gotta deal with the cards I'm given That's why I don't mess around, don't mess around Don't mess around 'Cause you know I'll lay you down, I'll lay you down I'll lay you down This is the life I chose That's why I don't mess around, don't mess around Don't mess around 'Cause you know I'll lay you down, I'll lay you down I'll lay you down This is the life I chose

The sea is foaming like a bottle of beer The wave is coming but I ain't got no fear I'm waxing down because I'll go real fast I'm waxing down because it's really a blast I'm going surfin' 'cause I don't like your face I'm bailing out because I hate the race Of rats that run around and 'round in the maze I'm going surfing, I'm going surfing You take your car to work I'll take the board And when you're out of fuel I'm still afloat My buddies and their homies all come along They seem invincible as they surf along The sea is rolling like a thousand pound keg We're going surfing, we're going surfing You take your car to work I'll take my board And when you're out of fuel I'm still afloat You take your car to work I'll take my board And when you're out of fuel I'm still afloat All along the undertow Is strengthening its hold I never thought it'd come to this Now I can never go home All along the undertow Is strengthening its hold I never thought it'd come to this Now I can never go home You take your car to work I'll take my board And when you're out of fuel I'm still afloat All along the undertow (you take your car to work) Is strengthening its hold (I'll take my board) I never thought it'd come to this (and when you're out of fuel) Now I can never go home (I'm still afloat) You take your car to work I'll take my board And when you're out of fuel I'm still afloat You take your car I'll take my board You take your car I'll take my board Let's go!

[Verse 1: Apples] 2012 here, more future every year Yo, open the curtain, shock the stage, and dissappear Maybe the master of magic, knower/noah of the unknown But much more likely to step right out the gravestone Ghosts, ghouls, goblins, and ghosts Yo, continental breakfast's when I eat french toast Apples, back on the track with the samples Red hat, glasses: the fashion of birdsinbaskets, classics in the making like Plato/Play-Doh, Before, maybe so-so, but now a pro, bro; but not really At this all the time, so not yearly [Verse 1.5: Apples] What's this called? Doing our thing I suggest you step up to the plate and just swing Listen to the tunes as they hit your ears, feel the soup in your skull churn like gears [Verse 2: Apples] Oh no, not this again Don't need a dictionary to know the meaning of friends Shh, don't make a sound Don't share this link, this thing's underground Apples and Oranges, two peas in a pod We're murdering beats and overheating your iPod Stop, start rising the charts The term rockstar doesn't quite hit the mark [Hook] You better believe it~ Haters are cheesy and square like a cheez-it~ You better believe it~ Haters are nuts and salty like a peanut~ [Verse 3: Oranges] Well it's about time I got a verse there may be more but this is the first Oranges here, gonna squeeze out some rhymes Just like you would with lemons and limes See what I did? Yeah, we're all about puns That's just how our system runs Gonna cut like a knife Giving to you the meaning of life We're like Jekyll and Hyde; two personalities We won't mess around with technicalities Look at us, climbing up the charts All because we perfected the arts [Verse 4: Oranges] Van Gogh can't compare to us Hear that, Van Gogh? (I bet you didn't) See our art in every museum Like the Vatican and Louvre, the home of Herbert Hoover Bang bang, knock on the door Guess who it is, it's Apples and Oranges! Gonna kick out the jams, and just in case you forgot... [Hook] You better believe it Haters are square and salty like a cheez-it~ (that's not the line) You better believe it~ Haters are nuts and salty like a peanut~ [Outro] Shoutout to Lightnin

Hello I'm Scratch Cat, Scratch is my name. Scratch is wonderful, It's like a game. Gobo is funny, Tera is pretty, Nano is soft, And Pico is gritty. Blocks pile up while I meow a lot. You shall program while I bring in a pot! Don't you wait, I will scratch on. Don't you shout or I'll be non. *beat drops* I'm the Scratch Cat, Scratch is my name. Everyone is different while we are the same. Don't you worry, I can survive lag spikes They're just simple. But not when a virus strikes.

In the air, there's retro something It is overridden by today Retro trends and retro people Have seemed to merely fade away Retro something in the atmosphere Something that modern music has forgot But some people will beg for nostalgia Indicates that hope ain't lost In the air, there's retro something It is overridden by today Retro trends and retro people Have seemed to merely fade away Retro something in the atmosphere Something that modern music has forgot But some people will beg for nostalgia Indicates that hope ain't lost

When I was a little boy I was told to look around myself But now, as of late I tend to look inside myself It was three years ago When I crossed paths with somebody I had never met Well, he had blue eyes It's blurry now; I'm starting to forget Clocks are going backwards I am going forwards And now I am here I have no fear that comes to mind And now That I'm here I can turn my back and disappear for now As the dust thickens up I find it hard to breathe and difficult to see It's only natural The others watch me from the other side And as for you You're in the same place that you were before Excuse my manners But I don't think I can take it anymore Clocks are going backwards I am falling forwards And now I am here I have no fear that comes to mind And now That I'm here I can turn my back and disappear for now

I'm just a fever dream Nothing is as it seems Whether I'm awake or asleep It doesn't matter to me Slow march out of bed Feel the pain throb in your head I'm just a fever dream Nothing is as it seems Whether I'm awake or asleep It doesn't matter to me Summer sun that I can see Feels like it has been weeks Shiver under blanket warm Melting, let's get the AC on I'm just a fever dream Nothing is as it seems Whether I'm awake or asleep It doesn't matter to me Summer sun that I can see Feels like it has been weeks I'm just a fever dream Nothing is as it seems Whether I'm awake or asleep It doesn't matter to me Fever dream is waking up again

Yesterday, I went to a Horse Figure Tango I was ready to dance But much to my surprise They were all doin' the twist It takes two to do the horse figure tango It takes two to do the tango with me It takes two to do the horse figure tango with me I'm not surprised that the Horse Figure Tango Went and changed all their plans They've done it once before And I'm sure they'll do it again It takes two to do the horse figure tango It takes two to do the tango with me It takes two to do the horse figure tango with me

walking down elm street on a dark autumn morning stumble out the door, down the steps, and into the world faces on the street, our eyes never meet i'm just another extra in the movie of their life the highway cuts a gash right through the city a grey concrete wall between you and me but if you're in the car, you wont have to drive very far because my house is right off exit 43 another day, another sunrise thousands of people living their lives all awaken, rub their sleepy eyes and i am one of them the bar downtown burned down a few months ago now everybody in town has to find a new place to go on the corner for years, it took an hour to burn it down now people come around just to stare at the hole in the ground another day, another sunrise losing track of the passing of time when thousands of people are living their lives and you are one of them when winter rolls in there's nowhere left to go your troubles are buried under a white blanket of snow but when spring comes around, you'll finally see the brown grass that's been dying underneath

Sleep tight, Mr. Bedbug You're just trying to get some rest But when you crawl into bed, everybody makes a scene So sleep tight, Mr. Bedbug You've had a long hard day of toiling And you just want to get some rest So you look around, around with your little black eyes Just trying to find the nearest nest Let's find a bed on which to lay your head, Mr. Bedbug If all of them are occupied, you can sleep on the rug Sleep tight, Mr. Bedbug You just want to get some sleep But when you crawl into bed, everybody makes a fuss So sleep tight, Mr. Bedbug They say, "Stay away from Mr. Bedbug!" They tell me that he bites But I know that they're spreading lies And that they say those things in spite Don't let the meanies get you down, Mr. Bedbug And even if they say nasty things, I'll just give you a hug Sleep tight, Mr. Bedbug You're just trying to get some rest But when you crawl into bed, everybody makes a scene So sleep tight, Mr. Bedbug Sleep tight, Mr. Bedbug You're just trying to get some rest But when you crawl into bed, everybody makes a scene So sleep tight, Mr. Bedbug Sleep tight, Mr. Bedbug You're just trying to get some sleep But when you crawl into bed, everybody makes a fuss So sleep tight, Mr. Bedbug Sleep tight, Mr. Bedbug Sleep tight, Mr. Bedbug

about

Holy new album, Batman! The fifth annual unofficial mix of music by members of Scratch (and particularly its forums) is upon us! With each year we get a great bunch of tunes, and this year is no different. Ever expanding our diversity, this compilation features lo-fi pop, hip hop, noise, utauloids, and everything in between. Five years on, the musicians of Scratch are still going strong.
