Twelve's songs are more heavily electronic than most of Six By Seven's, and are stylistically varied, including both guitar and electronics driven songs and elaborate textures along side more straightforwards songs. Olley has described Twelve as an "experiment".
During Six By Seven's 2005-2006 breakup, Twelve was Olley's primary project, though in 2006 he also launched an electroclash project called fuck me USA.
Olley has released two albums as Twelve so far, First Album in 2003 and Be Careful What You Don't Wish For in 2006, with a third, 03, set for release in 2007.

Twelve Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do a big stretch give it a
Morning yawning
Start off with a nice meditation
Downward facing doggy
Into a sun salutation
Lot of shavasanas
Sit n crossing Asanas
Word out to tunchi
Spread out on the beach
N Take them socks off you shoebie
I can tell that you
Feeling moody
The pressure coming from yo booty
You know
Ya
Gluteus Maximum
Crossing like Catholics
Hands at hearts center
Deep breath feeling passionate
Chanting out mantras
Gotta tell myself
Breath
Breath
Just Breath
Put my mind at ease
Tryna tell myself
Breath
Breath
Just Breath
Looking for the peace
Tell myself to breath
Breath

Just breath
Tryna feel the breeze
Tell my self to

Yeah
I think that's all I really got right now
Now before you begin your day
Close your eyes and ask yourself
What is it I really want to achieve??
Namaste
It's Time to start the day
I got the white like im Curtis Snow
Pumpin breaks like Curtis Blow
Move em for the 50's
But my name ain't Curtis tho
(Fosho)
All the bricks stacked
From the ceilings to the floor
Got em blocking all the (doors)
Whoa
And these niggas jelly
Cause they jams ain't heavy
Hand grinade flavored maralade
Flows bout to blow
You see steam when I meditate
Like my nigga
Baker told me
First you get yo spread right
Then you get your bread right
So I went and got my spread right
Just to get my bread right
Think I did it backwards
Cause the motion moving airtight
Shit moving liked melted butter on cold cibatta

Whoa

And these niggas jelly
Cause they jams ain't heavy
These people are jealous because their music doesn't have the same impact
Hand grenade flavored marmalade
An explosive flavor of marmalade
Flows bout to blow
You see steam when I meditate
My rap skills are about to explode, and you can see my focus and intensity when I meditate
Like my nigga
Baker told me
First you get yo spread right
Then you get your bread right
Like my friend Baker said, first establish your reputation and influence, then focus on making money
So I went and got my spread right
Just to get my bread right
I worked on building my reputation to ensure financial success
Think I did it backwards
Cause the motion moving airtight
I may have approached it in the wrong order, as the progress and success seem solid
Shit moving liked melted butter on cold cibatta
Things are progressing smoothly and effortlessly

Mudra
It's (it's) be (be) cause (cause) of (of)
These drugs I do, that's why I do the things, I do
Be, cause, of,
These drugs I do that's why I do the things, I do
It was like, whoa and then the fucking room started spinning and shit
And my friend came in he was like, "Yo! Yo! Em! Em!
You putting that shit up your nose again?"
And I was like, "Naw" nothing like, everything was just spinning
I couldn't even see and like, he started to look like a monster n' shit
Then I just started laughing and threw up all over the fucking floor
It's crazy
It's because, of these drugs, that I do, that make me
Do these things, that I do, do these things, that I do
My music is therapeutic for whoever's there to use it
It's like, Lucifer's here to influence listeners through it
You probably do what it said to do just from listening to it
It's got the power to get you to do it (c''mon)
So when the shit comes on, I want to see some shit jump off
Some bitch get slapped, some motherfucking kid get stomped
So get this song, go run out and buy this disc
And try this shit, as much coke as I just did
Cause times like these, got me doing lines like these
Plus I grab a pencil every time that I light weed
It's probably because of the drugs Shady does what he does
And is what he is, I'm dizzy Bizzy visit these kids
Hey Stephanie (hi!) Let's take some ecstasy (okay!)
Now pull your pants down bitch and have sex with this dog next tome
(huh?) 'Til I'm dead I''m taking blunts to the head
Needles in my broken leg, listen to Grateful Dead
These mescalines got me sure
That I can fuck any whore with genital warts on the Warped Tour
Who slipped this downer in my Snapple?
Causing out Interscope (Bizarre, you're signed to Capitol!)
Fuck it, I was born with half a brain
Sniffin 'caine, at celebrity basketball games
You motherfuckers think I'm a gimmick
Cause I got a Cash Money tattoo and roll with No Limit
The last time I sniffed blow
I ended up in Denver, Colorado at an Iggy Pop show
Bizarre be smoking a half a pound
Fucking the engineer's wife, while he's mixin my song down
It's (it's) be (be) cause (cause) of (of)
These drugs I do, that's why I do the things, I do
Be, cause, of,
These drugs I do that's why I do the things, I do
It's like, back when I first went on tour
I like, went crazy I was like out of control
And, just was fucking wasted every night, like
Waking up the next morning like, where the
Where the fuck am I at, what the fuck is going on
You see what I'm saying? I was just like, out of control
It's because, of these drugs, that I do, that make me
Do these things, that I do, do these things, that I do
These Benadryl's got me stiffer than a mannequin
Eight years old swallowing Anacins, standing over my Bannister
Laughing with a chromed out caliber
The weed that I'm selling this ? look like the back of a tarantula
I keep a substantial amount of aspirins in my Acura
Smashing it, after framing a nigga with smack and dust
I'm scandalous, drugs been ran for months
Cracking capsules to expand our blunts
I rolled it up and take the pressure to the head
Now I'm looking like a extra on "Night of the Living Dead"
Until they find me on a stretcher
I'm quick to sample anything, bitch you got a tester?
This crank'll have me blowin up banks like Uncle Fester
Watch tonight, you'll admit that I'm a fiend
Pop beans, 'scalines, along with amphetamines
Ghetto kings, meddling with the smell of greens
Got a Jell-o spleen, and see yellow rings (oh)
Blue pills, and purple mushrooms
(Hey little girl, you got a curfew, don't you?)
Missing since yesterday, perfect just for rape
See I'm on judgment day, numb from special K
Two tabs of X and vitamin see
Swallow Hennessy along with Tylenol 3
Grinding the teeth at the signs of the E
I lost six days at a time in the week
The crime in the street hold your parents for ransom
While D-12 gang rape Marilyn Manson
In twelve hours we blow a pound of the chronic
Barf up my stomach lining, drown in my vomit
It's (it's) be (be) cause (cause) of (of)
These drugs I do, that's why I do the things, I do
Be, cause, of,
These drugs I do that's why I do the things, I do
It's (it's) be (be) cause (cause) of (of)
These drugs I do, that's why I do the things, I do
Be, cause, of,
These drugs I do that's why I do the things, I do
Cause I like, I always tell people, ya know what i'm saying like
If you got an addiction, don't admit, to nobody, ya know what i'm saying?
Keep that shit to yourself, because if anybody sees that, ya know what i'm saying
When you're out in the public eye and shit
They're always gonna think that you're on that shit even if you're not
That's why I always tell my friends, know what I'm sayin but
I mean, like for me, I don't give a fuck
I'll probably end up, dying from this shit one day
Probably pick up a newspaper in the morning and it's like
"Eminem dies from, drug overdose" you know what I'm sayin? And
And my friends, they ain't no fucking better, ya know what I'm saying?
They ain't nothing but influences, bad influences to me, ya know
It's peer pressure, shit is like all peer pressure
That's what it boils down to - and, I give in to it
So do they
It's because, of these drugs, that I do, that make me
Do these things, that I do, do these things, that I do
It's because, of these drugs, that I do, that make me
Do these things, that I do, do these things, that I do
