Birmingham rap producers/performers Nerves Baddington have been bubbling up for a long time, and I doubt the magnificent macro/micro double-album will be the thing that breaks them through.
Why? Because it’s too smart to be popular.

Almost

i’m almost numb enough to dumb it down
(dumb it down)
yea i’m almost numb enough to dumb it down
(don’t dumb it down now)
yea i’m almost numb enough to dumb it down
(Shit!)
numb as fuck but hardly dumb enough
for dumb fucks now

yea i’m almost dumb enough to burn it down
(burn it down)
yea i’m almost dumb enough to burn it down
(Let’s burn it down now)
yea i’m almost dumb enough to burn it down
(Shit!)
numb me up but hardly dumb enough
to give fucks now

v1
huh oh wow look at me now
look at me flex and swell
navigating hell like i’m Chappelle
and i’m on SNL
except the flesh is pale
the more it burns the less it smell
unironically
you’ll get served if you press the bell
please don’t press the bell
bring that pressure under pressure well
magick in this art
i might etch-a-sketch a spell
it’s all relative perspective on an
M.C. Escher scale
paradoxically
godspeed watch feet fail
shit
it’s almost dumb enough
time to run amuck
wonderstruck
wonder what odds
will probably sum us up
it’s almost like
you’re your own god
sent to punish us
the sun is stuck
it’s almost done
come and numb me up
stuck in a box
Schrödinger's Opps
you running with wolves
or fucking with Fox
i’m fucking with none of y’all
i’m with the crops
i want the money ball
pass me the rock
fuck is you thought
ugly or not
bubbling up
and coming in hot
just lend me your hearts
the bleeding’ll stop
swimming with sharks
and sentient bots

yea i’m almost numb enough to dumb it down
(dumb it down)
yea i’m almost numb enough to dumb it down
(don’t dumb it down now)
yea i’m almost numb enough to dumb it down
(Whoa)
numb as fuck but hardly dumb enough
for dumb fucks now (dummy)

yea i’m almost dumb enough to burn it down
(burn it down)
yea i’m almost dumb enough to burn it down
(Let’s burn it down now)
yea i’m almost dumb enough to burn it down
(Whoa)
numb me up but hardly dumb enough
to give fucks now

v2
huh whoah wow look at me now
look at me spazzin out
feet on your couch
free of the evil abound
fee of an equal amount
i’m playing a fiddle
that’s riddled with doubt
riddled with holes
and scribbled about
it’s not a riddle so figure it out
been sending shots
since Shippin Em Out
uh yea
i’m almost numb enough
not one to bluff
wanderlust
one of such wonder
leave em chuckin guts
what’s her name
such n such
fuck is up
nothing but dust to dust
a healthy lack of trust
when it’s something sus
stuck in the spot
tongue in a lock
one in the chamber
a bunch in the box
running with danger
missing my pops
fuck you to strangers
pitching them rocks
y’all sitting ducks
just sheep in the flock
i never had shit
just pissing in pots
i’m sewing some seeds
that’s itching to pop
you shovel shit
stay missing the plot

i’m almost numb enough to dumb it down
(dumb it down)
yea i’m almost numb enough to dumb it down
(don’t dumb it down now)
yea i’m almost numb enough to dumb it down
(shit)
numb as fuck but hardly dumb enough
for dumb fucks now (mmm)

yea i’m almost dumb enough to burn it down
(burn it down)
yea i’m almost dumb enough to burn it down
(Let’s burn it down now)
yea i’m almost dumb enough to burn it down
(Shit)
numb me up hardly dumb enough
to give fucks now

U is for Uranium BOMBS
