Tyler, The Creator is Okonma's most commonly used alias, and the one that both of his first two albums are credited to, but he has used several others as well, including Wolf Haley, Ace (or Ace Creator), and Young N***a, the latter of which was part of a prank on OFWGKTA's official site. Many other characters or alter egos and names are featured in his music, such as Tron Cat, a therapist called Dr. TC, and most recently, Tyler Baudelaire, the character from the 2021 album CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST.
In 2009, Tyler self-released his debut mixtape B*stard as a free download off of the official OFWGKTA website. Two music videos were released for tracks off of B*stard, "VCR" and "French!," both of which were directed by Tyler (credited as Wolf Haley). The album is focused on dialogues between Tyler and Dr. TC, and it received generally positive reviews from critics and blogs alike.
After signing to XL Recordings in February 2011, he released "Yonkers," the lead single off his sophomoric album Goblin, which was released on May 10, 2011. The music video for "Yonkers" (directed by Tyler credited as Wolf Haley) won Tyler The 2011 MTV Video Music Award for "Best New Artist," as well as a nomination for Video of the Year (which lost to Katy Perry's "Firework").
Goblin, an album described as "dark," "monolithic," and "a natural sequel to B*stard," continues the sessions with Tyler's fictional therapist, with Tyler venting to Dr. TC about fame, message boards, critics, hype, expectations, media scrutiny, and the idea of being a role model. All of the production was handled by Tyler, save for "Transylvania," which was produced by fellow OFWGKTA member Left Brain.
Tyler's third studio album, known as Wolf, was released in 2013. Tyler alluded to several possible track names on his Formspring account, and he stated that the album would focus less on rapping and more on production. In an interview with DJ Semtex, he confirmed that he would handle all the production on the album, except for one song produced by Left Brain, the same approach that was used for Goblin. On February 14, 2013, OFWGKTA uploaded a video to their YouTube account, which included L-Boy skydiving and stating that on April 2, 2013. Tyler revealed three album covers via his Instagram. The first single from the album was released on February 14, 2013, titled " Domo 23" along with the music video which features cameos from Domo Genesis, Earl Sweatshirt, Jasper Dolphin and Taco Bennett. On February 26, 2013, Tyler performed the songs "Domo23" and "Treehome95" on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

Playing with dick i'm jealous as shit
Cause I ain't got no home meal to come to
So, if you do
I'm throwing fingers out screaming "fuck you"

Not Dom, but if I was a Dahm

A leprechaun with leprosy
I'm fucking 'bout it, 'bout it

Ever get this perfect

They singing and the shit ain't even worth it
In the choir, whores and liars
Scumbags and the dirt, bitch
You told me God was the answer
When I ask him for shit, I get no answer

Kill me with a chainsaw

The lyrics to Tyler the Creator's song "Sandwitches" are a defiant statement of the rapper's rejection of authority figures and his rejection of conformity. The opening verses express his frustration with those who criticize his immaturity and his rejection of traditional societal norms. Tyler argues that he formed Odd Future not to conform but to explore his freedom of self-expression. He is pushing the boundary of creativity and doing things outside of the norm. He believes that it's about authentic self-expression and not wearing suits or making correct decisions.
In the later lyrics of the song, Tyler expresses his disappointment in God, religion, and the hypocrisy of the church community. He believes that God is the cancer and that there is no answer when he asks for help. He also reveals his support for free Earl, but he doesn't make horror-core music. The lyrics are characterized by aggressive and confrontational language, which is typical of the Odd Future style.

I'm being provocative and suggesting we take action against people who have more privilege than us
With nice homes, forty one K's, and nice ass lawns
These people have comfortable and financially stable lives
Those privileged fucks got to learn that we ain't taking no shit
We won't stand for being treated poorly, especially by those who have more advantages than us

In the choir, whores and liars, scumbags and the dirt, bitch
Tyler is criticizing the people who attend church, saying they are not good people
You told me God was the answer
Someone told me that God had all the answers

@AllHailNannerpuss
After careful analysis, I want to make it clear that:
- No one's life is perfect
- God may/may not be real but it does belong to religion which helps people cope with life. It helps people deal with the fact that we are alive one minute and the next we could be dead.
- This doesn't fit the "normal" tendency of music. It's very crude but an interesting kind of music.
- Don't hate other for what they have or believe in (morals). Hating will only make you feel worse. Edit: Because racial beliefs were mentioned in the comments below, it's fair to say that ignorance in conjunction with hatred is not ok. It's not fair to use stereotypes to judge everyone
P.S - I don't believe in god but I do respect other beliefs.
