Quarantine Diet
Got no milk, eggs, bread
Nevermind the Cottonelle
All these workers are my angels
And they're stocking up the shelves
Is it safe to eat this?
And is it safe to be here?
Deli counter's open and
He's coughing in his sleeve here
Selection's poor, man
All they got is store brand
No one making space
Gotta rearrange the floorplan
I push the cart
And I wonder how my mom is
I can't make her pasta
Nah, all I got is hummus
I'm on a quarantine diet
I don't wanna die yet
Keep a safe distance
Cuz I don't wanna try it
(Afraid of) everyone I see
Just keep six feet away from me
I'm on a quarantine diet
I don't wanna die yet
Keep a safe distance
Cuz I don't wanna try it
(Afraid of) everyone I see
Just keep six feet away from me
Home as the shelter
Won't last forever
I take everything I got and I put it in the frying pan
I know it isn’t much but hey at least I’m trying, man
Did the cooking by the book to try to make my cake amazing
But when I took a bite it gave me internal disdaining
When it comes to culinary skills I know nothing specific
Is it all a feeling or is it scientific
I could make you something but you wouldn’t wanna try it
If you’ve got a craving I would just much rather buy it
When Keiko’s in the kitchen though the fires are a blazing
Cause Alice Knows Karate and she also knows baking
I’d rather get delivery than eat something tasteless
So my pizza guy and I are on a first-name basis
I’m not working out I’m just getting bigger
Spending my whole day thinking bout what I want for dinner
I’m doing my best and by any indication
Professor Robot ain’t dying of starvation
I'm on a quarantine diet
I don't wanna die yet
Keep a safe distance
Cuz I don't wanna try it
(Afraid of) everyone I see
Just keep six feet away from me
I'm on a quarantine diet
I don't wanna die yet
Keep a safe distance
Cuz I don't wanna try it
(Afraid of) everyone I see
Just keep six feet away from me
Home as the shelter
Won't last forever

So sick of this scraggily quarantine beard I'm growing
Lookin’ like Tom Hanks, a cast away, where is my Wilson
Need a Jazzy Jeff for my Will Smith
Random pop reference now I’m on to Rachel Bilson
I’m watchin’ Jumper to fantasize the travel
Play podcasts for the babble
Got bored of PS4 so now I’m onto Scrabble
I hate to do battle but never rattled
I’m talking Dungeons and Dragons
The fire til it blackens
I swear I’ve been
Stuck in my room
Another work Zoom
Read a book, washed my clothes
Then did stick-on tattoos
Quarantine blues
Gotta check the news
Praying for the best
And hope the worst don’t come true
Cancelled all my trips for the year
Bangkok, Porto, nowhere near
stepping on a plane again
Facetime with my friends in France
Even nearby cities like ber-keley legally off limits
though I barely ever cross the bridge if I admit it
As the clock tick tock, I’mma make a TikTok
I’m a savage, classy, bougie bastard
little unnerved from a lot of relaxin’
Worker bee, my phone ain’t buzzin
Playing killer queen all night
Collecting berries, military, watch out for that snail
hope my internet don't fail
Take out, right? Pizza twice
Highlight is my dinner night
I peaced out right when the clock struck eight
This early livin’ not too great
Yoga, thai chi, stand on my hands
that aint the plan that aint the plan
My rubiks cube is lubed don't be lewd
Stuck in my room
Another work Zoom
Read a book, washed my clothes
Then did stick-on tattoos
Quarantine blues
Gotta check the news
Praying for the best
And hope the worst don’t come true I'm
Stuck in my room
Another work Zoom
Read a book, washed my clothes
Then did stick-on tattoos
Quarantine blues
Gotta check the news
Praying for the best
And hope the worst don’t come true

I think I'm going crazy
yeah I'm out of my mind
because i love you
like i loved you from the very first time
its such a joke and though we're both so broke
i'd use my last dime
to spend more time with you
i've had a think
and though i would sink
id sail the sea
so i could be with you
think I've lost my marbles
oh I'm around the bend
because if i could go back
id do it over again
Spinning round in circles
there's no meaning to time
that's why i think i think i Think i think
i've lost my mind
its such a joke and though we're both so broke
i'd use my last dime
to spend more time with you
its been weeks
and now i cant sleep
all i do is dream about you
another day
and i'll go insane
i never want to be without you
its such a joke and though we're both so broke
i'd use my last dime
to spend more time with you
i've had a think
and though i would sink
id sail the sea
so i could be with you

Nevermind, I see you talking but your mics still Muted.
Now Brainiac, bro you really need to hit that Mute,
You have too many devices, We're getting a feedback Loop.
I'd Call on Captain Cold next, but why'd he stop moving,
Hello, Captain? Guess his Computers Frozen.
Bizzaro Stop with the lazer Eyes, It ain't a joke man,
Great, Overheated your PC, now your Computers broke man.
This virus is amazing, almost makes us look lazy...
Did you guys see Tiger King? Man, that show was crazy!
Til they find a cure, we shouldn't be in a room together
But while the world's on hold, we can still bring the terror
Lets get these Heroes removed, Make'm Sleep in they Tombs.
Cuz Justice League gunna Lose to the Legion of Doom.
But Due to Covid its true, we can't Be in the Room.
No Longer Bringing the Doom, We're Now The Legion of Zoom.
Black Manta, What do you have for all us now?
Wait Stop the Banter, Your Mic Sounds Watered down.
Gorilla Grodd, You're a king, Why are your troops acting out?
Are those gorillas in your midst or a virtual background
Speaking of which, Cheetah, are you really calling from a jungle?
Every time you speak I hear only purrs & mumbles.
We're Supposed to be Villains, The Greatest of Cutthroats,
The way we're going about this, Making us look Dumb Tho.
Giganta, Your stream is choppy, Just Disconnect,
Prehistoric technology, dial-up internet.
Scarecrow, I like your Mask, would you Make some for the team,
Then We can finally escape the Grasp, of Quarantine.
So Riddle Me This, Riddler, Why are you believing
That it was ok to Wear Your Pajamas to a legion of doom Meeting,
You see, this what I mean, We're an inferior Team.
Gotta dress professionally , To Be Taken Seriously.
Lets get these Heroes removed, Make'm Sleep in they Tombs.
Cuz Justice League gunna Lose to the Legion of Doom.
But Due to Covid its true, we can't Be in the Room.
No Longer Bringing the Doom, We're Now The Legion of Zoom.

We Must stop The Justice League, Prove we are the greatest.
We Must Steal the vaccine and get Innoculated!

I think I’ll stay inside
I think I’ll stay inside
Tonight, tonight, for life
Tonight, tonight, for life
All the shops and all the bars are clear
Where I thought I’d spend the most this year
Not taking zoom calls in my underwear
Wondering how to cut my hair
And I'm thinking back on that time
Giving high fives waiting in the concert bathroom lines
But I think this time, I think tonight, I’ll stay inside
I think I’ll stay inside
I think I’ll stay inside
Tonight, tonight, for life
Tonight, tonight, for life
All the swing sets and the gardens are dead
Where I used to have a drink with friends
Where I used to cough and breathe on you
Now that’s not something that I should do
Now I’m thinking back on that time
Giving high fives waiting in the concert bathroom lines
But I think this time, I think tonight, I’ll stay inside
I think I’ll stay inside
I think I’ll stay inside
Tonight, tonight, for life
Tonight, tonight, for life
Tonight, tonight, for life
Tonight, tonight, for life

Please don’t let me down
I tell you to come around
But we’re all cooped up
know we’re safe but safe ain’t enough
I’m trapped, think I’m going stir crazy
I’m trapped, thinkin bout you keeps me from going-
Insane
Don’t tell me it's another week
We had plans
Don’t tell me I’m feeling weak
We had plans
Please don’t say we’re through
I’ve been trying to reach you
But we’re all pushing through
I know we’re safe but safe is without you
I’m sad, I’m missing you more than I want to
I’m sad, not seeing your face is driving me-
Insane
Don’t tell me it’s for another week
We had plans
I swear I can’t wait another week
We had plans
You know I wish you were here
We had plans
Don’t tell me it’s for another week
I wish you were back in my hands
I really cannot stand
The fact that we had plans
> I’m still wishing it’s just you and me
> time to declare an emergency
> Ripped from my arms, I can see it clear
> Now I’m stuck wondering why life’s not fair
> Didn’t mean as much to you as it meant to me
> I don’t want to see you through a screen
> You were done, first to run when things fell apart
> (Please) Don’t go far,

Bad time brigade back in the house today
forlorn demeanor,massively bad headache
And as far as I know it’s been two months
Since i was out of the house, or even seen the sun
And now we gonna go (stir-crazy)
I don’t give a fuck,
Let the robots replace me
Laying off the sauce, so every day feels 100 years long
Writing 100 drafts of the same damn song
On and on
Outside’s worse Heat goes up.
Coldfront comes in, equilibrium fucked.
(Shit sucks.) Suppose that’s a mild way to say
The walls close in a little more each day
So here’s how we get by, gonna do the lockdown
It’s a little dance to turn yourself around
First you stand up. Take two steps back for now .
Throw the sheets back. And (lay back down.)
On and on.
Lock down. (Lay on the ground).
Softly sob. (now Let me hear the sound)
Lock down. (Lay on the ground.)
Softly sob. (Now Let me hear the sound.)
Let me hear that sound
Let me hear that sound
Let me hear that sound
Now go lay back down.

I'm about to go crazy in the brain
This quarantine shit is driving me insane
Not pointing fingers but I need someone to blame
cause every day it's more of the same thing
.... Bored out my mind tryna main...tain
...you Used to see me rolling down the bike... lane
But unfortunately
I'm simply watching TV
Rerun after rerun
after rerun after rerun
Feels like years
But it's just day one
polar vortex... murder hornets... whats next
Where's the government
and do they even care
climb a... mountain... of madness..
cause Life... ain't fair
Uhhhhh
tick tock I'm a broken clock
right twice a day when im not jerking off
Criss cross apple sauce
Stand back up when I fall off the rocks
umm
Get dumb
let your mind go numb
Get dumb
and let your mind go

You’ve been on my mind and I miss you
When I close my eyes
I miss our late night walks
Our intimate talks
watching the city go by
Tell me this aint love if you Are
the only thing I’m thinking of
Out my windows the moon
This will be over so soon
til then ill dream of you
Chorus:
So close yet so far
when were six feet apart
Pick you pick you up
And show you how i m missing you
Now I call you up call you up
Watch the sunset from our living rooms
Verse 2:
The city feels so down and boring
When you’re not around
The only thing... I Think about
when we'll finally meetup downtown.
Im so sorry
To cause worry
I've called a thousand times
To hear your voice on the line
and tell you how I'm feeling blue

quarantine in Brazil is a carnival
people think it's vacation
people think it's not real
we can't party now
we can't look away from the news
we can be political
but being alive is not a party favor
being alive is not a party favor
being alive is not a party favor
quarantinein Brazil is suffocating
cause people think that science is lying
we are the land of the fun
but we can't party now
we can't look away from the news
we can be political
but being alive is not a party favor
being alive is not a party favor
we can be political
but being alive is not a party favor

Let me see you wash your hands X 4
Sud it, scrub it, rub it, hey!
Let me see you wash your hands X 3
Sud it, scrub it, rub it, hey! X 3
Let me see you wash your hands
Yeah, go and wet your hands with water
Make you sure that you put a lot of soap when you wash it
Yeah, go and rub your hands and palms, do it back and forth;
Make sure you don’t miss a spot
Yeah, Yeah;
Get all the fingers interlaced and locked;
Yeah, make sure you hitting every spot
Yeah, grab your thumb, and move it in a circle
Then scrub it, scrub it, put that work in;
Rinse it with that water, use your elbow for the tap
When you get that towel, make sure you dry your hands
This should not take longer than 30 seconds, that’s facts
So let me let me see you clean your hands!
Let me see you wash your hands X 4
Sud it, scrub it, rub it, hey! X3
Let me see you wash your hands

[Verse 1]
I’m in a ghost town central to my residential
Evident while I try to weather my temperamental
Existential, my brand credit has transcended
Seems to be eternal, a pandemic that can’t ended
Cased personal space; the face, always masking it
Markets crashing faster quick an overdose of avarice
On the news, the planet is off its axis since
People fighting over the paper they wipe their asses with
Charge into battle with accelerated catalyst
To chase a set of challenges, liquor out of my cabinet
Blacking out the tragic I’ve developed from this habit skip
Bottles disappear like the rabbits in a magic trick
It’s all smoke and mirrors lined up reflecting well
Solo house party with my infinite selves
Been a minute and a half since seeing any friends
It’s still gon’ be a few, gonna cut my hair again
[Verse 2]
Learning to hermit in the sense that an old crab is
Falling backwards to redeveloping old habits
Want to grab it, but stable is so evasive
Spend years making progress, in an instant I erase it
Want to give it up, but I can’t, you know the deal
Try to sound convincing that I’m so for real (I’m so for real)
Feeling further broken til I’m searching for a motive still
Hoping for unnoticed ill regressions of my social skills
Keep reverting my hard work and silently
Watching my entire speed creeping toward anxiety
Spiking in my time of need, and ever falling fast
Reeling for an even keel, hit a wall and crash
Let’s go back, we’ll fire up a blue portal
Plus I’d just adjusted, I can’t handle a “new normal”
At this party, but each time it’s half-hearted
Sentenced to the deep end, tracking where I crash-started

Quarantined Beats (and Inside Voices) is a time capsule. The entire album was written and recorded in May 2020, one of the weirdest and most historic months many of us will ever experience. All the beats were produced by Doctor Popular, with additional vocals by many of his friends from around the world.
I started sending beats out on May 1st. On the evening of May 24th we had all (but one) of the songs finished and getting mixed. On May 25th 2020, George Floyd was murdered by a Minneapolis police officer. It wasn't my goal to avoid the topics of police brutality or the protests that followed. It feels like everything changed since George Floyd's murder and at first I felt weird releasing a collection of songs about how hard it was to find toilet paper, but I think this album still serves as a time capsule of a very specific time in our lives.
This album is free. If you enjoy it, PLEASE share it with friends and on social networks. I want to say thanks to all of the amazing artists who wrote and recorded songs for this project. Everybody brought their A game. Thanks so much for working with me. I owe each and everyone of you so much.
On a final note, I believe that Black Lives Matter. Regardless of your age, race, and gender, I hope that you do too. Black Americans are more than twice as likely to die in any interaction with police than someone like myself is. This system needs to dramatic change. If you think these 20 songs have brought you joy, please donate $20 to
www.aclu.org/action/
Thanks for listening, now tell your friends!
