Wannabe Wayne Gretzky Taking aim at your chest shot tryna block You should Try your best I don't feel it I sit back All in on all my bets I'm past high class You ain't passed a test Slip up on ice Still feeling alright Veins cold Feeling gold Gonna win tonight You got me running I got you talking I keep on going I Guess you walking Hands up Square up Multi sport like Michael Jordan So we ballin One under a hundred on my back But a hundred in my stats I got a bunch of big goals So I bought a bigger hat I won't ever be the best But Ain't no point in quitting Best is what I wanna be You Better bet I oughta be Finally feeling better I been feeling ill I wanna go home See Justin and phil Play some Mario Kart Make some musical art Let it go let it go Blast music in my mom's car She been saying That she miss me So she hug and kiss me talking business With my father God is saving walter Me and my dudes Ain't feeling no pain Aint no care in the world Just skating like wayne

Maria! 03:57

Sunshine On her hair You'll go blind If you stare Nevermind What they say I'll go blind Every day Just to say I'm yours Girl you're like the sky I look at you I wanna dream You remind of Carolina But somethings in your bloodstream Something up higher Like a Cali wildfire mountain top melting In the spring I guess I'm tired Of the winter freezing up All the sweet tea in my cup I need a touch of sunshine To fill my body up I met you in the fall But I hope you never leave I wanna take you on journey Hop in the car hand me the keys Maria chica Bonita Learn Espanol like mi tia I'm speaking the language So we can travel the world What a wonderful girl What a crazy idea That I would just sing a song And you would come over here And we could go on the ocean Sailing upon the waves Moments would turn to hours Hours would turn to days And days would turn into a long time Baby wont you be mine You don't even have to say it Just keep on letting your light shine

I need a gal like gadot Can't save the world alone Fast and the furious God Killer at your throat Get at my girl She an amazon You got your girl off of amazon She wear designer Like panda And she sweet like fanta Satisfying Like a candy bar I got a wonder Of a woman You better bet She block a bullet She by my side Like a queen in the movies I'm just a extra She is the movie I'm going fast like flash all rich like the bat fly high like kent But it all goes whack When i puff my chest And I flex my arms Man tends to choke When he finds the stars Girl got my back With a sword on hers When nothing's left When i am cursed She pick me up When nobody here Gotta smile on her face Ain't feel no fear Blue dress on fire I don't gotta plan And we down to the wire I gotta gun You got a rope Whatchu gonna do When i lost my hope

I never really got outta 10th grade Pretty girls I wanna take on a date I was too young Too shy for a play I was too game Too blind to get payed She looking good In the uniform She looking fine Like art She stay quiet Like a black room Life drives quick like start Ooh remember When we learned how to drive God speed only And we Learned how to thrive 2014 went by Like a wave 2015 was kind Of a waste Tenth Grade Problems Tenth Grade fools Kinda wanna solve em Fix em with a tool I don't even ball But b ball rules Friday night games spirit for the school We was just laughing We was just living Unlicensed Child like chillin I remember screaming Like we didn't care Guess I was lying All I did was care Now I'm writing papers Tryna get paper I don't really feel like I'm getting what I payed for I got friends That I'll never see again I got friends Going off the deep end Only 19 But I'm feeling pretty old Always in sweats But I'm feeling pretty cold Finally got a job Guess I'm growing up It's only In my dreams That I'm ever blowin up So I guess I'll rig it up Firework flashes Strap me to a rocket Imma skip classes Send me to the moon See a flag I lost faith in Stick me in a church God tell me what faith is Remember tenth grade When i left my home Got Facebook IPhone home Extra terrestrial Alien kid I jumped the border Got shot down in bed Sophomore year, sophisticated idiot I’d rather talk to all the girls than go to 6th period Everybody older sayin’ I’m not even literate Then how am I creating art while you stuck on the Iliad You wouldn’t understand ‘cause you’re only 15 Can’t comprehend nothin’ ‘cept your acne routine Gotta wait a couple years to understand what love means And you better close your eyes for all those crazy sex scenes Yeah, I’m pretty weak, but my mind ain’t that With all this info that I’m eating, probably look pretty fat Every teacher that I have, you can cut the chit chat Because as for my life, I think I got it down pat My heart hasn’t been broken but I still feel pain Mostly what it’s comin’ from is all these words that you sayin’ Tellin’ me I’m not good enough just all because of my age But I guess in a few years my opinion will change

Out the gas station On that happy New Year ish Chest screaming free barabbas And it's UNC six Bro found a UNC girl I loved her a lot I still do they the fam And we ain't growing apart My other bro found a gal She a goddess gadot She got an accent I like She from Dedham I know And then there's beauty A real knockout like Floyd I look away when she glancing I was staring oh boy I think she saw me having hope That she would still be mine But I was supposed to give up A couple months back yeah it's time That I made moves Towards the west Made a dream Turn to gold But I think I'll stick around Boy you crazy that's bold This land ain't got nothing Just some schools you can't afford And some good fast food And some sadness in store But it's sad that makes the happy Dark that makes the light Can ye take a chance Cannot mess with the light If I'm being honest I'll never not be in love I'll write these songs so they see it And there's a God up above With a plan for me to prosper Not to harm me or to kill me but for a future Of a hope I can surely hold within me That's Jeremiahs 11th verse Of his 29th chapter The white girls love that one They the Instagram pastors And I'm the Instagram man Putting up pictures with filters Even this verse is not what it seems Straight thru Photoshop off kilter Killer With a hammer in hand Builder With nails and a man Lumber In the form of a tree Killer Freed when death lost his keys

about

Caleb Kuhlmann is growing up. At least, that’s the theme of his newest EP, ‘2:17 AM’, a hip-hop anthology of the triumphs and pains of finding one’s self. ‘(Wannabe) Wayne Gretzky’, by far the most hopeful of the collection, offers an almost psychedelic feeling to the listener, as we glide with Kuhlmann. ‘Maria!’ shows us the real focus of anyone who’s growing up: love. It shows us all the potential futures in Kuhlmann’s mind, while also echoing back to his Carolinian home. The rest of the tracks carry us from this point, all the way to the titular song, ‘2:17 AM’, which finally shows the perspective of the storyteller in the present. He’s come a long way from ‘Unlicensed Idiots’, and this EP shows that that journey was neither easy nor worthless.
