In November 2008, the group released their debut mixtape, The Odd Future Tape (now sometimes called The Odd Future Tape Vol. 1), as a free download via the collective's official blog. The tape was recorded with nothing more than a computer camera microphone, and featured some tracks that would later make it onto Tyler, The Creator's debut LP, Bastard. The Radical mixtape was released in 2010, which featured all of the group's original members (save for Casey Veggies, who had left the group) as well as new contributors Earl Sweatshirt, Domo Genesis, Mike G, and Taco Bennett rapping over a collection of their favorite beats. On October 3, 2011, the group released a compilation album entitled 12 Odd Future Songs (which actually contains 13 songs), featuring select tracks from some of the many solo and sub-group albums released by Odd Future members that are frequently performed live, as well as a new track by The Internet. The OF Tape Vol. 2, Odd Future's debut collaborative LP and the follow up to their first mixtape, was released on March 20, 2012 via Odd Future Records.

OFWGKTA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bitches think I'm crazy but I'm normal
I just come off as a psycho maniac when I'm performing
That's an act so I won't bore you to death
Cause I adore you... and it's the summer so
[Hook:]
Can you meet me by the lake
[Verse 2:]
You can bring your bitches, I'm a bring my niggas
You can practice liking I, I'm a practice that guitar, baby
It's summer camp Golf Wang where the talking trees are
You and girls can roll if you
[Hook]
[Bridge: Frank Ocean]
If you meet me by the pier, bring the beer, we can menage
Ooh, your girl friend Nicki gots the back I like to massage
I'll be in the city with them actresses
The Nissan is down there in the bottom of the lake
I'll make sure you have a good time, a good time
I'll make sure it's a good time, a good time for you
[Hook]
[Verse 3:]
Love sick, where's the clinic aid we're young
Fun is what we're having, fuck it, pour a glass of lemonade
It's snowcone and poptarts I got and I got you
Let me take a dip and you can take a break
That's only if you meet me by the lake
[Outro: Frank Ocean]
Could you meet me by the lake (around ten)
[Silence]
[Intro: Syd tha Kyd]
Meet me at the lake round ten (Come through)
Meet me at the lake round ten (It's cool, wanna kick it)
[Hook:]
Meet me by the lake at ten
If I'm not there just call
And if you need a way there
I'll ride you on my handle bars
[Bridge: Syd tha Kyd]
Kissing under moonlight
I can bring you to my tree house
We'll be fucking on the rooftop
If you're not down, we can just make out
[Hook]
The song Analog 2, by OFWGKTA, starts with the first verse where the rapper says that people might think he is crazy, but he's just coming off as a psycho maniac when he's performing. It sounds like he's saying that he puts on a persona, an act, to entertain people. It's the summer season, and he likes someone, but he doesn't want to bore them. In the hook, he wants to meet the person by the lake, in the park, or in the room.
In the second verse, he says that they can bring their friends, and he'll bring his. He will play guitar, and they can join him if they want. He refers to the place where they'll be as Summer Camp Golf Wang, where the trees can talk. However, he wants to hook up with someone at the lake. In the bridge section, Frank Ocean sings that he will meet the person by the pier with some beer and introduce them to his girl, Nicki. They can have a good time with him and some actresses. They can also ride the Nissan and enjoy the time together.
