everyone is an expert when they’re judging somebody else.
 
"my judgments" is an ironic song about criticism.... especially the kind i would hear about my music, videos and creative choices. someone always knows what angle you should have used, how the song should have sounded, what colour looks wrong or what you should have done differently.
 
so i exaggerated that voice and turned it into a character who thinks he is the king of expertise.
 
the funny part is that judging is easy. creating something yourself is much harder.
 
that is why the song ends with the character finally admitting the obvious.... he talks a lot, judges a lot, but doesn’t actually create anything.
 
originally shared only with friends and family on september 17, 2016, this song was officially released under CANTIBEALL years later as part of the surprise release of "2016, life".

3. my judgments
 
what should i do?
i've been awake for too long
and my eyes are burning
looking at a screen
i will judge
 
what should i do
if i see something new?
say "this is so bizarre"
he thinks he's a star
i will judge
 
why this angle? these lenses are lame
why the bass is so low? you're insane!
this colour ruins the mid tones,
you should change the tempo of your song
 
an expert
a specialist
you're talking to the king of expertise
even ancient greeks
have my critique, no one escapes
 
my judgements
my judgements
no one escapes my judgements
try my advice
 
what should i do
if i see a fish fly?
say "you've been a foolish"
you're clueless 'bout your life!
i will judge
 
why this angle? these lenses are lame
why the bass is so low? you're insane!
this colour ruins the mid tones,
you should change the tempo of your song
 
an expert
a specialist
you're talking to the king of expertise
even ancient greeks have my critique,
no one escapes
 
my judgements
my judgements
no one escapes my judgements
try my advice
 
the pixels aren't clear
the crystals aren't real
life is competition
even without ambition
 
i talk a lot
i judge a lot
but i don't create
anything.
