Tyler, The Creator drops the spontaneous and welcome "Crust In Their Eyes."

UPDATE: Unfortunately, the track has been removed. Tyler has addressed the removal on Twitter, writing:

Tyler, The Creator continues with the steady drop of loosies. This time, he's re-purposing one of June's best tracks thus far, the Kanye West & Kid Cudi led "Kids See Ghosts." Dubbing it "Crust In Their Eyes," Tyler takes to the leaky-faucet instrumental with some personal bars, rapping "my sister called the other day and said she loved me wassup, I called her back and said Im sorry that I don't say it enough." Wise words; if you have a sister, maybe consider giving her a call.

As the track progresses, Tyler kicks some mixtape-ready bars, clowning on those hiding behind a self-constructed veneer. "These n***a fakes confident, fake show how they feel then go home and big cry cause their acne is real," raps Tyler, conjuring images of The Simpsons legend Squeaky Voiced Teen. Sadly, the track is finished before it truly blossoms, but Tyler's spontaneous release highlights an enjoyable side of his artistry; more "rapper" than "auteur."

On Twitter, Tyler spoke about the song's creation. "So i like this song alot and wrote to it the same hour i heard it," he explains. "my friend sent me the instrumental i recorded it that night and here you go cause why not let it exist." Ultimately, it was a good call.

Quotable Lyrics

Pro black but this twink white
I'll sign if the ink right
Two cribs i can sleep twice
N***as swear they woke but got crust in their eyes they cant blink right
These n***as fakes confident, fake show how they feel
Then go home and big cry cause their acne is real
