“I’ve just been wanting to scream all the time—not out of anger or any emotion I can pinpoint but just scream at the top of my lungs at nothing,” Jean Dawson revealed in a press release accompanying his latest song, “MENTHOL*.” The track arrived on Friday, December 10th, and features alternative icon Mac DeMarco.

“I don’t know if the song represents that at all but the song is just where I’m at with shit. I think I fully lost my ability to care about shit I don’t care about and it’s truly beautiful. I guess I’m really infatuated with the chaoticness that comes with the idea of tomorrow.”

Dawson has been teasing the song on Instagram for a while now, building anticipation amongst his fan base. From what we know so far, “MENTHOL*” is set to appear on his forthcoming album. While promoting the single on Instagram, he admitted that working with DeMarco “is bucket list shit” for him, adding that the whole experience had him “geeked.”

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jean Dawson]
Sittin’ at the end of the road
Never hear what I’m told
It’s like I got everyone watchin’ me
No one watchin’ me go
I don’t need anything from no one, I never felt lonesome
I find my hope inside my smoke, my eyes turn red like
Devilish on a Sunday
Drivin’ fast down a one-way
Lean on me, I’m a hot boy
100 degrees, kill a opp boy
I don’t need no smoke
Bitch, I am the smoke, give me space
I don’t show my face
I don’t smoke with folk, run my fade
I don’t run away
From my problems, they got debt to pay
I ain’t been afraid
Bitch, I lived afraid, so what’s my name?

[Chorus: Jean Dawson]
Fuck up out my face
I don’t smile no more but we all great
Now we fuckin’ pray
I don’t hold my tongue, I bite the grain
Say my fuckin’ name
Boy, don’t say my motherfuckin’ name
Fuck up out my face
I don’t smile no more but we all great
Fuck up out my face
I don’t smile no more but we all great
Now we fuckin’ pray
I don’t hold my tongue, I bite the grain
Say my fuckin’ name
Boy, don’t say my motherfuckin’ name
Fuck up out my face
I don’t smile no more but we all great

[Verse 2: Jean Dawson]
That’s what you want
We from the mud, buck if you dyin’ for us
Stare at the sun (Sun)
The loneliest one (Yeah) be makin’ the flowers grow
Stomp on the garden
Know what you started (Started)
Started a fire, started a riot
I was not invited
Nothin’ but violence, nothin’ but sirens
Moment of silence
Make me decide it in my head
They ain’t tryna play with me

[Chorus: Jean Dawson]
Fuck up out my face
I don’t smile no more but we all great
Now we fuckin’ pray
I don’t hold my tongue, I bite the grain
Say my fuckin’ name
Boy, don’t say my motherfuckin’ name
Fuck up out my face
I don’t smile no more but we all great
Fuck up out my face
I don’t smile no more but we all great
Now we fuckin’ pray
I don’t hold my tongue, I bite the grain
Say my fuckin’ name
Boy, don’t say my motherfuckin’ name
Fuck up out my face
I don’t smile no more but we all great

[Break: Jean Dawson]
(Great)

[Outro: Mac DeMarco]
Jean, it’s Mac D
Just droppin’ your line today to remind you
That you should take it easy on yourself
Enjoy what you’re doing
And if you stop enjoying it at some point, hey, no problem
Don’t do it anymore
God bless ya, love ya, ciao
