I got big plans that'll let you see the best of me cause I'm a sick man spreading the fever of the century I'm little bubonic but I'm not the black plague I'm sonically inclined to break you stress away For all intents and purposes Let's keep a steady flow in this A breath for every measure and the best of all your hopes and dreams Keep your reasons in your mouth And a humble beat in your chest Until it's time to flex the finesse My lyrics are thick like the hips on the misses And I got sixty nine ways to lick her into submission We're drinking the liquor under the tick tock clock now we're moving a little quicker yelling "please dont stop!" From the bass to the summit of ecstasy You better be ready for the obscenity That I'm about to phonetically spew into your mentality It's been building up inside of me It's leaking out, don't be afraid of me now For all Intents and purposes lets keep a steady flow in this For all Intents and purposes lets keep a steady flow in this For all Intents and purposes lets keep a steady flow in this A breath for every measure and the best of all your hopes and... For all Intents and purposes lets keep a steady flow in this For all Intents and purposes lets keep a steady flow in this For all Intents and purposes lets keep a steady flow in this A breath for every measure and the best of all your hopes and dreams Like a megalomaniacal tech tycoon Trying to manipulate the weather and the phases of the moon I'm moving the parts into place like Tetris When the rain is pouring even when I'm back at the start to please the skeptics Morning after morning after sleeping on it a second I'm mourning my reflection after the musical possession But I will not be stressing it when the lessons kick in And the fear of my appearance gets a kick in the shin From the outside looking in, it's a difficult feat But it's a blessing if it's presence is affecting at least It'll stretch your best defenses in the battle for peace Inside your mind now I'm not lying it's a pertinent piece Of yourself when your needing help Fighting a mental jail cell Amusing excuses just drooling out of the mouth It's a nuisance like a fools trip into a new fight With a new grip on life and you know I'll get it right For all intents and purposes lets keep a steady flow in this For all Intents and purposes lets keep a steady flow in this For all Intents and purposes lets keep a steady flow in this A breath for every measure and the best of all your hopes and... For all Intents and purposes lets keep a steady flow in this For all Intents and purposes lets keep a steady flow in this For all Intents and purposes lets keep a steady flow in this A breath for every measure and the best of all your hopes and dreams When I wake up in the morning Feeling like a million stories on the tip of my tongue Your fittin to witness the glory When I'm picking up the ball point pen Looking into a faded and blurry bank of the memories The ephemeral and secret melody Stretching like it's mozzarella cheese I'm etching it like the acid that I gained from assassinating The bag of bad habits that I kept in the back with desperation I was zigzaging and pitter pattering like an animal in a desert nation A fiend in a better place, and a scream from the less patient As the bits and the pieces were seen in their stations waiting I debated with insanity but the rain on the window was captivating The mad pain that masticated the matter at hand Into a macerated pulp like a jack hammer to a man This is not a work of fiction or a lie for a bit of friction My lips just click with the rhythm of quality diction But when I write from the principles of a life lived and learned Earning some merit might not be what I deserve... For all intents and purposes lets keep a steady flow in this A breath for every measure and the best of all your hopes and dreams

VERSE Is there something you want to say to me? No? Okay then let's see you prey to me What, are you afraid of me? Cause I'm quiet and a little bit of every enemy I've never met? The skeleton of my lying identity Is walking out the closet with a bottle of humanity So pay attention to the thought of all the awesome lasting impressions Please question the essence of heaven Seize the seconds when they're affectionate Affecting the messes we tend to make And the lessons we lend to those who aren't fake You can hear me preach, cursing cause it hurts You can take me to church locked in a hearse But it's family first as we burst into the clouds Together at the end to count the hours CHORUS Is the afterlife really how I picture it? When the mind dies, does a rapture come with it? Can you wrap your minds eye around The lack of a body and the breath of a life diminished? Things change with a blistering quickness But the energy within cannot be finished We're not defined by the lines in the cosmos When it's over we can bond with our everlasting love To maintain the main pages In this story of truthful ruthlessness That's why I'm in the booth tryin to move you To a new view of humanness Get you in the mood for a new brand of bliss Pursuing your hand so I can chew on a kiss Spinning like a planet on it's axis, magically It's factual and actually a bloody masterpiece VERSE I choose life yeah I choose life yeah I choose life when the lust for cut bites Into the skin like a mite in the dust A new strife might strike in the night but A will to live stands up for the good fight To be alive and grinding surviving a rivalry with the mind And the collective hive behind the rise of veritable disguises Is a sign that it's time to forgive But maybe not forget Lest your choice is regrettable And your met with a hot mess to cool So pick up your testicles So you can face the next test like a bullet to the chest Of what's yet to come so get ready Get dead set, grip steady and blessed with finesse CHORUS With the temperature dropping violently And the heart starts stopping violently I can still see the shadows pass the windows Out of the darkness and follow me. A cold breath on the nape of the neck A bold death to escape this is it I turn around to run, I'm runnning But then I wonder what and why and how, I gotta figure this out Before I'm finished and I'm out of minutes Cause I'm a sinner with unlimited amounts of prohibited dissidence It's almost criminal and offensive to resist it Let's have a toast to the renegades and misfits Following the monologue that they created Wearing the faces they made with their cadence and flow Never do what they're told with bold results As they go up and out and way past beyond CHORUS

Hands on your waist, picking up the pace Assume the position, I have the intention To take you to church, even though we're cursed With love, this lust, it churns, it hurts We'll take it slowly at first but I know your thirst Please hit me with your worst You can blow me a kiss with a tight grip And a tongue twisted, don't be shy you can show me What's on your mind? Unleash the freak inside She'll lead you into paradise Watch yourself just come alive x2 CHORUS Do you wanna come, come on over Turn around and let me kiss your shoulder Bring the lights down, drop your night gown Are you gonna come, and get unsober Hurry up before the night gets colder Lights are dim and we're moonlit Let's brew some smooth movement You prefer the top, freak on the saddle Don't stop the tempo, let's go explode The sex flows like a ghost, it echoes Like boozed up memories I'll sooth ya with the kama sutra A fool's love can leave you bruised up So hold me closely as his nose bleeds What's on your mind? Unleash the freak inside She'll lead you into paradise Watch yourself just come alive x2 CHORUS You must be deranged to think love is a game People kill for love, steal for love They'll put a gun to they're own damn head for love They'll traverse the planet to find the one Or to escape the pain of a love that was But that kind of pain? It never wants to heal We just walk the line and put a muzzle on our hearts So we never have to hear it squeal The delineation between love and hatred Is said to be obvious but that's a fallacy Don't be mistaken, they're one in the same You need to love to hate and hate to love Too much of either one can cause you to break So tonight let set them aside and slide in between the sheets I'll sweep you off your feet And you can tell me come on I wanna know... What's on your mind? Unleash the freak inside She'll lead you into paradise Watch yourself just come alive x2 CHORUS x2

Know Regrets 03:22
Back in the midst of middle school I got knocked the fuck out Nothing but a dumbass little fool, I deserved it know doubt Looking in the mirror, battered and bruised Bleeding like a cretin, hazardous youth Digging the deepest grave so my dignity can rest How can I be saved when I pride is oppressed Man, I'm a slave to money and necessities A mess indeed got me stressed when my credit bleeds But lessons in progression need regrets so they can breathe yeah Lessons in progression need regrets so they can breathe You can't forget, you better know regrets No matter how bad it gets You gotta know regrets You gotta know regrets You can't forget, no You gotta know regrets Somebody had to tell me that I had to make a choice Either grip that knife or lift you voice But of course I chose the latter Cause the edge of the blade makes the mad hatter flip in his grave Hmm... decisions, decisions now something is amiss Try not to jump in or they can make a slight incision Steep cuts in deep trust a black sheep must adjust To earn his keep to keep up With the speed of this life You can roll the dice and leave it to chance Or you can take control and put the world in a trance So give me that cash advance You can't forget, you better know regrets No matter how bad it gets You gotta know regrets You gotta know regrets You can't forget, no You gotta know regrets I'm really getting tired of sitting in the silence It's like a virus minus the shitting and violence Contaminating my mileage, navigating with no signage But I acknowledge the flaw... The flow in the science of music As my pupils dilate from the weed But you see I only alienate myself every time I get high cause I'm tongue tied floating down a river of snake eyes Trying not to capsize shouting out my battle cry It's gotta be time to catalyze the venomous doubt Establish new residence in excellence now With the resonant sound of my imminent breakout

I got money in my butthole pretty much all the time Cause cash likes to fuck me when I fall out of line I'm a medium sized dude with a medium sized dick But I got a big ass spoon that'll scoop your main chick Until I bust in it too quickly and mutate With asphyxiation, heart rate racing Keeping up with the memories of a difficult lover With my head stuck under a rusty guillotine I mean I really don't need to be a fiend to read between the whirlwind of lines and the riddle within the middle of a big piece of trouble and a scuffle when he starts shuffling the cards To extricate the scars that were left from the fog of a war Between the force of hope and the distortion of words With a discourse fought from a distance In a world of shame and a dangerous existence As he follows the scent of hollow sleeplessness His body contracts from the hallowing weakness And diseased effects of a reason for death To put our sins to rest it might be useless But maybe abusive and a few steps behind A lucid but ludicrous view of the grand illusion I wake up at the end of my eulogy Looking up at the moon fueled by the lunacy In a sea of beautiful seclusion We're only aware of the killers the slip up With a hiccup in their M.O. but not before I ask them "Hey! Is that mask uncomfortable? Can you see the disastrous Madness that's plastered on the walls of this country? And in the sacred chapels where the sisters and pastors are shot right in the nostrils?" Blasting the brain mass faster than a tactical reaction or the promise of an addict. Yeah, I guess you can say it's a bit troublesome I guess you can stay in the bitter rubble He came from If he could slay another mother in a basement He lost his prey and can't remember which way it went He's a bottom feeder with a mean demeanor He gets the meat cleaver before the sodomy with models He might even eat her and her progeny, too Invite the Grim Reaper to take her primordial stew As he follows the scent of hollow sleeplessness His body contracts from the hallowing weakness And diseased effects of a reason for death To put our sins to rest it might be useless But maybe abusive and a few steps behind A lucid but ludicrous view of the grand illusion I wake up at the end of my eulogy Looking up at the moon fueled by the lunacy In a sea of beautiful seclusion It seems like daylight has turned the night to rage A forbidden and bullet ridden fight for the ages For all races a faces and I'm getting impatient With the lack of action and practical assassination Of our reanimated tragedies and bad manners Scattered limbs in the cold vacuum of anger We need a fiendish release from our wasted standards But it's a bloody circus and a self made cancer

So I poked a hole in my bowl and it broke... I just got this thing like two weeks ago, fuck! But it's alright I got some apples and oranges From the foreigner at the market tossing sausages And offering an off brand of contraband Out the back of his monkey's minivan But I had to say "No thanks, man! I just wanna smoke some herb and eat these yams!" Then his wife turned around with a butt like DAMN! So I slapped some shades on my face and I ran Full speed to dive head first into the ham But she slammed it shut and smacked me in the diaphragm Somebody help! I think I need an ambulance And my cannabis to get me feeling fabulous Come ride with us and you can rhyme with us And we're combustible so come on and get comfortable Cause it's a wonderful life Caught up in the cypher, we don't wanna fight ya Hit you with a bong but my lyrics might slice ya Big ole dong when I walk up to the microphone When I'm in my zone let me write you a poem No one flows like me Every time I walk up on the seen they're cheesin Can I get another bowl pack please? Must be the cannabis deciphering the universe What's the color of fame? Is it red or is it black? Is it a dream or a chase for stacks Underneath the canopies of the modern version of fantasy I think we have an emergency now can't you see Must be the cannabis Now that I've got your attention let's ease the tension by mentioning erections And all the dry stains they cause Like a Weinstein trying to maintain his balls before the fall Let me tell ya... Fame is the call of a fake life of climbing the wall shaking off the flaws like a wet dog Doused in alcoholic beverages Leveraging his enemies messes When he's met with electric credibility Effective with the methods of mental wrestling It's incredibly heavy and maybe a little bit deadly You gotta be ready to put up with the bullies in the belly of the beast before you end up deceased after the feast Living in the middle of mysterious melodies I'm a literal lyrical deity of literacy Leaving a legacy in my wake As I'm spanking the cake I'm waking and a baking I'm not a saint not following fate I got a lot on my plate And I lied for high stakes If I could fly to a place in space Make no mistake, my face could be replaced Like the piece of your heart you lost to love Trying to keep the pace in the dark at the cost of lust In every gust of wind I look up When I must be steadily grinning Like Lennon imagining all the people winning and living for today

Spellbound 03:25
My love for you is volcanic If the earth split in two I would still be fanatical For the pain for the pleasure cause damn it's fantastic People say all good things come to an end But they're pretty cynical, out to offend Good things can last, the evidence is unequivocal Just learn to make amends when you bend the unforgivable The way our centers are spinning Around through touch and sound As the sun rises over Our hands and love are bound The breath in our lungs harmonize You bring my knees to the ground As the sun rises over Your eyes have me spellbound So give me a listen, you got me twistin On a mission, I'm wishin you were here But I'm missing your kiss without a tear You're not a vixen so clear Your cognition is in prime condition You told me about all your doubt and fear But I'll let you know that I'll always be here And whenever you're down we can give the bed a christening They say love is coincidental But I think it's a choice And I choose to love you from your flaws to your soul We can build our life and achieve our goals You can take control and I can follow your voice I can make you moan in a smooth legato Riding the tempo, adagio flow Into the moment, no need for atonement The way our centers are spinning Around through touch and sound As the sun rises over Our hands and love are bound The breath in our lungs harmonize You bring my knees to the ground As the sun rises over Your eyes have me spellbound A quid pro quo can be the death of our dance But a fresh breath of romance is in the hands of altruistic means to no end Regardless of the circumstances Like an apparition it might disappear In a house full of contradictory omissions Vindictive injury and unjust misery But all I want is for your heart to sing to me Embraced by your wondrous mystery Call it an obsession or even an addiction All my life it's been you that I've been missing The way our centers are spinning Around through touch and sound As the sun rises over Our hands and love are bound The breath in our lungs harmonize You bring my knees to the ground As the sun rises over Your eyes have me spellbound x2

Garden State 03:51
At home in the Garden State The 609 reaching for the skies and greatness Always late but appreciated I got skills for days but my flow is ageless I'm wrapping around the beat and the sound I'm running down, down the mountain of fear Making noise being loud in the seconds we found With each other at the end feeling like a feather Let the drumming and the stomp of your feet defeat the negativity and the reasons to cheat Don't be a reason to leave or a fatal disease Be a speaker for need or a leader for peace Back home in the Garden State There's a freedom to me, from Rose to Liberty A release from the beast of reality Good things might come to those who wait But patience is wasted on the hope of fate I'm wrapping around the beat and the sound I'm running down, down the mountain of fear Making noise being loud in the seconds we found With each other at the end feeling like a feather Let the drumming and the stomp of your feet defeat the negativity and the reasons to cheat Don't be a reason to leave or a fatal disease Be a speaker for need or a leader for peace Grown in the Garden State Skating the streets rain or shine I got a date with the wheels and the pavement Wondering which way to go and it takes a toll It rips through the bold Invokes a long hold on hope for the days ahead Not paying no mind to the things that they said Cause a piece of my mind can't pay for it I might be a slave for a peace of mind fix by a beautiful mixture, a designer elixir Killing the blistered fatigue Just when I need a boost for a season of dreaming For the bigger picture we don't meet in the frame Approach it at the border, sink your teeth in the game Or it's the same old song and dance With no gains but pain growing From old flames with cold aims I'm wrapping around the beat and the sound I'm running down, down the mountain of fear Making noise being loud in the seconds we found With each other at the end feeling like a feather Let the drumming and the stomp of your feet defeat the negativity and the reasons to cheat Don't be a reason to leave or a fatal disease Be a speaker for need or a leader for peace

Reflection 03:58
Forever feeling deflected from it I've never seen my face Only pictures and reflections of it But I know it can't be erased I'm infected with selective recklessness Making messes like the administration is Preoccupied with what's on the outside But I never had a chance to know why you've cried From the scars on her wrist, an unbeatable force It could cost me a deal with the devilish remorse For the last piece of heart that I could find In the deepest darkest unpredictable catharsis So I asked myself, "What am I worth?" If I could be in the stars to witness the Earth Spin vertically, stirring the vicious rebirth Of seditious revolution presented from the hearse Of a politicians sordid words And a billionaires perverse pleasure In being the cursed oppressor With a thirst for blood and hurt in his chest It's the night of the flood, will you protect your neck? Will you protect you neck? Will protect your neck... From the next test of time with respect And the rhymes I'm flexing, no half stepping So until the perfect crime side steps the reckoning From the swine infested streets, I'll keep my hands from trembling A shift in the paradigm would keep us questioning the clarity of paradise, disparity in the lives of us Don't trust the parasitic complacency We'll be maniacal and ashamed you see? In the crusty afterlife all busted and dusty The rage inside might be undone, let it free Use it against the secrets buried deep within the weaknesses That feed off the bleakness and disgusting hush Of our Father's written word and superficial trust There's a war going on outside no man is safe from We can run but we'll never survive... We can run but we'll never survive... When the timing is right, we gotta be ready to fight for us all Stand tall to breach the wall of hate tonight All across the world, we can see the incitement Gnarled and curled but we can be the debridement Loving is free but it's not easy It seems to me that it's evil tendencies keep screaming Like the dying leaves in a bitter winter breeze for a reason Without the blisters and festering resentment There couldn't be any dreams of any better contentment Why should I believe that the pressure will bend When it feels like the memory of our ending affection Finally separated from the ascended tensions The madness, the crying and prying for attention All I need to say is that my senseless concession Is not a debt to be paid, It's an illuminated reflection

I Wonder Why 03:42
I wonder why, wonder why My mind was clouded when I found it I wonder why, wonder why A boundless mind can be surrounded yet adrift In the sound and silence Where the vibes are nice And the fire ignites The real asylum in the love inside us Just take my hand let's get lifted above We can sift through the fog Of yesterdays crazy phases That made us face these amazing opportunities I crave the unity of peace and trust And I got a love for lust and what it do to be yeah The fusion of bodies, her skin against mine She's a deviant, honestly a product of God I can feel her soul in the crowd And I could tell from the start that we were melodically bound But I'm listening to the sound of her scream... I wonder why, wonder why I'm dreaming of things that I might not want I wonder why, wonder why A distant dream can be warm yet haunting The crawl is exhausting and people keep talking Like I don't belong in the industry causing Me to go on with caution Even my own fucking family just told me to give up Just throw in the towel and breathe for a while Be more pragmatic with the dreams that I've had But I made a habit of locking logic in the attic Like I practice black magic so I can change the status Of the life that I've been living In the kitchen with my sanity spinning Like the galaxy in my vision And the manic ambition flippin decisions it's noxious But if one thing is positive, it's that failure is not an option What is a man but a miserable little pile of secrets? Underneath the freak, he's off the leash Don't speak unless you can flee the scene Stay off your knees, please please I beg you please This insatiable hunger interrupts my slumber It lingers under my breath like a blistering winter And a slow cold death by the teeth of a feral hunter You're not gonna find me At the bottom of the barrel of human kind Cause my state of mind is well defined I'm primed and ready, my voice is steady And I know it'll get messy But I'm educated in sanitation I'm sexy there's no debatin I can see a future in what I've created A monster that's ready to slaughter imposters And you know I'm to prosper with honor I'm fighting like my father Bare knuckle against a broken neck As death hit the deck And then I wonder why...

People 03:25
People chasing perfection that doesn't even exist Trying to paint a picture of paradise in the abyss We wonder why the sky is falling and how it came to this Pondering all the lies and the honor we dismissed People facing rejection with a cold clenched fist Sick of all the modesty at a time when you should be living With maybe a little bit of sinning, but not without some honesty It'll probably save us from a scalpel and an autopsy The lurking freedom above and below is a sign of a wilder promise There's really no way to stop it Outside of the toxic boxes made for us Breathing gossip in like it's oxygen Blended with some gin and the sins in my pocket There's really no way to stop it NO Electrical venom injected into the ventricles of the mind By the flash of the signage, a typical product of bondage An emergency is upon us, so forgive me for being tireless The lurking freedom above and below is a sign of wilder promise People erasing the thoughts of a past Memories locked away deep in a casket Even the ones that prevent a disaster But look in the mirror cause you are the master People escaping this plane of reality Tearing apart the malevolent apathy Trying to sever the mental capacity Following them like a murdering entity People shaking under the struggle of their money Wasted at the bottom of a bottle it isn't funny People taken away from the love and care of their mothers It's insane bat shit crazy how we treat one another The lurking freedom above and below is a sign of a wilder promise There's really no way to stop it People leveling up whether or not their merit is up Peers are left behind wondering when their next in line But when life calls for a dust off, yeah sit down and rewind They set the stage in different ways like Feng Shui in the mind People making love under the blue kissed sun above The pleasure after the pain is never lost or overcome But lust just isn't enough when the fun gets too ugly And suddenly fades with a fight that's too hungry There might have been a light at the end of the tunnel A glimmer of a reason to be But the riddle in the middle of the enemy's harmony Is a memory of a need to bleed A the center of a rumbling heart is an anomaly A written letter to that start of the insanity Formidable venom we let into the mental Without having to say I'm sorry With an awkward eye crying like a faucet Running hot from skeletons in the closet Cause and effect come rushing in To flush out the ruckus with the ink from a pen Loose emotions flowing with the motion Singing like an anthem for the loving and devotion People al around the globe Looking for hope but it's all been sold ...or maybe not probably not I think we'll be alright
