Earl Lyrics

[Verse 1: Earl Sweatshirt]
Yo, I'm a hot and bothered astronaut
Crashing while jacking off
To buffering vids of Asher Roth eating apple sauce

Sent to Earth to poke Catholics in the ass with saws
And knock blunt ashes into their caskets, and laugh it off

Twisted, sicker than mad cattle, in fact I'm off
Six different liquors, with a Prince wig plastered on

Stop screaming, bitch, you shouldn't be that alarmed
When Big Lips is in the attic, armed with an addict's arm

Earl puts the "ass" in "assassin"
Puts the pieces of decomposing bodies in plastic
Puts them in a pan and mixes it up with scat
Then gobbles it like fat black bitches and catfish

It so happens that I'm so haphazardous
I'll puke a piece and put it on a hook and fucking cast the shit

I'm askin' that you faggot rap actors take action
And get a hall pass for this class-act shit

How the fuck I fit an axe in a satchel?
Slip capsules in a glass, she dizzy rascal
Party staff baffled, asking where her ass go

In my room, redefining the meaning of black holes
Go on, suck it up; but hurry, I got nuts to bust
And butts to fuck and ups to shut and sluts to fuckin' uppercut

It's O.F., buttercup, go ahead, fuck with us
Without a doubt, a sure-fire way to get your mother fucked

Ask her for a couple bucks, shove a trumpet up her butt
Play a song, invade her thong
My dick is having guts for lunch, as well as supper
Then I'll rummage through her ruptured cunt
Found the mustard

Fucking nosey neighbors notice something's up
"What you doing?" – nothing much
Would shout some other stuff

Got to fucking bounce, guess the bouncer's had enough of us

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“Earl” is the self-titled track off of Earl’s debut mixtape. It is the continuation of “Thisniggaugly,” when Earl finally decides to showcase his talents to the Odd Future crew. The song features themes of violence, murder and rape, all of which are in a sub-genre of rap called “horror core,” something Odd Future is all too familiar with.

Earl is arguably the most poetic member of Odd Future – perhaps due to the fact that his father was a South African poet.

Before Earl left to go to boarding school in Samoa due to the themes of this album, he had this to say of “Earl”:

My best track, the track that I’ll never be able to surpass is Earl.
