Do it for the love yeah you know me , only child so it's hard to get lonely , I been smokin wit the ghosts of ya memories, we been on a binge in this bitch lil chimney , I been on the move for them Benji's, I just felt the groove, know just what to do with this energy , got you in the mood , they looking confused if they enemies contusions get sent to em , maneuvering different, lately I'm choosing magnificence, auras omnipotent , music infinite, good God They romanticize violence, triumph and advance In spite of those with criminal intent , no buyers , they upping the rent we set fires to em . landlord in the vent spying innocent tenants. His kids wonder what's crippling the business. stench of the city , icky isn't it harrowing your very existence . Here Baby, take this arrow on a mission . Sprinkle a little spirit and ambition. Don't get it twisted Okay this about to destroy all want to be conscious rappers you listen to me lieutenant flea you are study b i g m e n a c e x leave m perplexed god mode Beyond Scientology ancestral offerings detect universal language reflex can't make a move until you see what the god do next insectoid Jimmy crickets rip each tendon metaphysical Ram hop to the beginning my pin game be vicious remote view them like click I am in DMT Realm learning lost knowledge from deities while you watch pickle Rick swimming in a drought intimidating adults who been in the game for a century step it up ain't my fault denounce break down ounce grow gills I'm from Atlantis cicadas squished white blood cells infiltrators I give thanks to the holy Creator like praying mantis fuck the other side sacrificial judicious rebellious I get high off taking divinely guided bets fly SWAT pick apart the wings fulfilling meal in Fry pot as a thousand eyes rot resuscitate em with a IV field with snot just the youngest veteran givin it all i got

Mentality clouded by distraction , reroute it to abstraction, ADHD got a butterfinger grasp , and the pen game weak without practice , underneath we can't help but be magic , talented actresses, in between imagination from mind to pad and shit , hey I admire ya penmanship . Scribbles over dribbles , only half athletic but In my hands still missiles got a grip on this Equalizer flip the script survival of the fittest Glick , turn a cis to a sissy in a instance, 21st century difference, hedonism is the narrative , nepotism my addiction was inherited, Darwinism listen nigga this imperative , we all animals just feasting on the carrion, end of the day it's the end of days we not caring , beat the bitch barren , it's embarrassing, increasing sin, lost souls carcasses end up in bargain bins, feign innocence, it's hellish, we not harmless, the unborn child as a garnish, caviar omelettes, bone broth to the starving, picking parts, pick the heart throw it in the garbage, lone star beaming on the tar pit, praying for a comet, we spare nada, unaware populace, it's all problems, betwixt the commas is proverbs n knowledge, I'm appalled but we all in , all in all I'm not bothered , prolly should be up in arms but we skip n frolic , hop along in the songs pocket , plug the prongs in the blown socket , still trickle charge the juice boxes , stomp the yard like a opp , belt it loud till we out of oxygen.... Like we in the street wit it now like a revolution or something yeah. My niggas marching and shit yep, pictures in my mind now I can see the change now, I'm invisioning widespread change now ...felt throughout

All that doubt and second guessings just the devil tryn mess wit yo pockets, heed knowledge, mf trynna have you stressing , Watch it! my future children would call me big intestine, around the dinner table we'll say blessings,embracing arms outstretching , it's heaven , shepherding the family herd, and I make sure to say many encouraging words to my bredren . Yerr , and we feast , farm to table , factory farm to curbside to go charms and fables. The system love to trick the able, ready made , the vegans say that everyday the milk drinkers robbing the cradles, the end of days This the last train car sinking in the bog , stinking, foggy afternoon's not just smog tho , spewing whooping cough from them babies opps fronto. Wicked ways of the western world won't reach the last of the tribesfolk. That's unless they give the say so . Pick up a halo . Y'all might need some grease if it all gets too painful. Trickling, and Tricking , trick likeness, trick cash , trick mentality, try sit back and think without distractions. Exactly! Everybody on they mad dashes , before they boom powerful impact from the cannon they asses. You could be in the middle of traffic, like you could be completely sidetracked in the brink of a disaster. Like In a blink you could be ashes. A Pompeian reenactment. ....🪳 could be you . You like a Serbian film, this like a Pompeian reenactment.

on some Nwo shit , I ain't smash bitch , peep game , imma run it back , slow drip in the pails , niggas was ailed , plagued with ailments, spicy stalemate , my niggas got throw bread maker , in the market I'm a maker and taker , like nah ok well I'm out I ain't waiting , and this shit fire but bitch ain't paying , lay bricks like a mason , NWO is not a secret society unlike masons , here's a little gem you can keep it , it's all yours, pages of rhymes hidden on floorboards,go left out in the open cuz it's worth less , give out perceived wealth to relieve having more stress , and my niggas hold steel cold steel the steel rings bells rings bells , it's like I left my pockets in water the way they swell up , and I could be about loads o' stuff , yeah I feel you itch , you could appeal to shit , spare me the eh eh interrupt. The proverbial they , the ones that cloned Fontaine and hid the greys , biologics was vague , who is they , mystical enigma of time and space, anonymous fame , persisting for years throughout the ages , they , subliminal wave , big business penny pinch a payday , in shade they pull strings on relay, big snake gang or gorgons , or archons with membranes . It's they game , they export we intake , we work work they make rain , They live! On , go grab a drink . Might learn sum for fuck sake. Who insane ? Conspiracy on TikTok on think tank , get grouped up or sink sink , big stink about something, lets deep dream . they got plans they got systems in place them damn bugs just keep on advancing, the next thing they dropping Gon make bank and pop it and first one to hop on new guinea pig rockstars'll follow. U Gon hop on they wave or wish so, like twenty years later like how did you miss those, they feast on the lame , they feast off the popular kids and teachers and principal same. Links in a chain , where does it lead to? Where is the faith? A fan of the game you watching you doing ya thing a Stan of the stage , they be controlling yo favs , they puppet master wit the ratings , scanning your cookies and history to know how you move how you think . Sell you something , sell your information, straight to the bank. They up in the sky doing chemical things . Masters of pyramid schemes , they up in ranks of the company name on the board living in luxury .

Avoiding the capture, oh boy don't know what they after , loot chest, cross chapters, and noise! civil unrest in a world not poised ,on the brink of collapse, societies systems holding us back, Hacks n killjoys, they knee high with the plaster , we intercept that , crack ! Jackpot of some coins, in the rocks we found the codex we was after , rebound another setback , to the future , jetpack! and to the time we won't get back , we salute ya . We made the most of every maneuver and manifested , creation , life lessons, the music groundbreaking, still stressing this , stress and diss, hating imitations and fake shit, bullshit populace mind controlling the seeds, the words they speak , the mainstream leakage makes me queasy, poor little shorty , wonder what your future will be, doubt it's Gon be easy, type of shit make me wan get vasectomy, nah mean , maybe practice celibacy, ah me see B**s me mind can't think, make me wanna go and buy something light pink, but we thinking hermeneutically if u get what I mean And we can get mean , crazy eyed , seen it in dreams , they love to get you in your sleep. Eat your food and leave the crumbs right on the scene . It's A trifling thing, little child! When a tadpole grows a tongue turns into a rifle , american idols , pogo Bundy and the cold case files . You get hogtied right into the fire . Nights like these , Im thankful for my life . Could be dead on arrival , sped head on, nuff said, spark my weed, I'm glad I'm not like you. It's ironic how a Muslim could discover lost books of the bible. Heresy! It's bionic how they like to fight you, they like to play wit you and pose you holding a knife , or a spear .... Definitely some kind of weapon Oh dear , honey little Timmys gonna make my head spin , come get your son he's tagging the walls , he's out of control, he broke the heads off of his sisters barbie dolls , then blew up her dollhouse and shitted wall to wall. Its unacceptable, aren't you appalled? now I think he's jacking off!... he needs help! when he's older he'll surely shoot up a mall or somewhere else . He's definitely gonna go to hell.

Piety Pins 01:48
an inquiry into a madman's diary Shakes the core of me Riddled with doubt at whatever comes out of his mouth The sinking ship , rendered just a mess The treasure nestled rests , at the end of a quest , a couple years later , this nigga still in his bed , roach's crumbs barely seeing no bread , voices visions all in his head , don't wanna go outside Don't wanna say hi , no socialize , besides , it's no room on the passenger side of my ride , Look me in my fuck ing eyes You see what I seen then you know why I'm so quiet my eyes widened, Im bunkered in my silence My radars peeping mileage , gaining , rocketing, whistling violins , piety pins for the kindred . I'm honored. The center I'm swimming in it , I told you I'm gifted , millions on millions we winning, blood spilling out the pen uppercut a couple chins , splint to fix a rib or two the spliff it hit my surroundings , you and you . I'm wit the gang that's who I pass it to, the messages we wire through the presence at the holy pew , good libations the incense Palo Santo the greatness on my playlist . A million ways to say this , we not safe but we not taking it . The courage it take to enter the spaceship , the shit you holding onto is also fading , but we making this . But we making this . Temporally maintaining hits, for a generation, or at least till you lose yo patience, I'm skating on thin ice , I'm Tom cruise motorbike , Introduce me to the coolest guy I fucking shoot him in his face , and take his place , top gun , the violence and hate that we perpetuate nah son , dollars n cents tisk tisk we out here off the dream and wish , the potentest piff , the shit they don't want you to get , and good music .

Lament 02:51
Still do , who to appeal too , cash mildew , truth within self , they in the rearview , they in the stands for the kill crew , the ceilings planned , innerstand the endogenous entheogenic man . They tried to blind you , the chosen few , narrow passages we shimmy through the halls of amenti , we understand we miniscule them imbeciles went major . Blessed and highly favored , overheads the essence and vapor , pen and paper word , it's unnerving this wicked earth , festering dubious demiurge . Purged and left me with sniffles , flirted with the curse, emerged and dipped , the words left , written , the words, write , the word right , the proof in view in the light , plain sight in truth. We gon be aight , Be extreme or fall in the infinite struggle in between Nothing quite as it seems People need to love themselves instead of the cream Fear based everything Exactly like they said it would be Should have read the book, should have looked into that shit before they made you look , pawn to rook , couple crooks at ya neck wit hooks , juxtapose the lesson , my bredren we not shook . We choose psalms , crusaders done hit the wall , they gone rue the day ! Cathars reinjected out the aether . Couple missed steps last time we was too out for the paper, spirit beaming like a laser ,and we do not be quitting , but we not playing either , we not lazy. Shouts out lil ray , Helluva struggle , remembrance of the slave ships , ase , in ye olden days it was commonplace to hate a nigga , put that on Sammy daviss, on miles daviss. This that new generational anguish impressionist painting of levitation. . It's magic in science , the tyrants double dutch clutching a virus , we knuckled up hella defiant , pictures painted by the Mayans . The smog filled city burns, a dog pissing on the fire hydrant ,the city yearns for some firefighters , a child turns to Michael Myers, the news cycle tires and the country for the most part seems undisturbed, . Word. ......

Why so many young rhymers end up riddled with ballistics Why Why the animalistic side instilling fear and fright into minds of the unsuspecting, further corrupting , subliminal thoughts of crime infesting , so few rebuke or become something to be oppressing , in the name of , we exorcise , we expedite the will of the best thing, we mesmerize when we muscle up to those contesting , dirt ring, bing and ya singing , ya mingin! it might take a hundred lives just to learn one lesson from me , splinter v shredder, we mutate and eat better , No more thoughts of heather and me , amber is the color of my energy, sun setters , fabuloso , dawn , and the heavy hitters, clean up shift working on the shitters . When I quit , I'll let y'all wallow in it. Bitch!

Overheads 01:54
I guess Lil baby came out of my dreams Shes a genie I was in the halls wit t dog We fought demons Catch me at the cross wit my dogs we be cleaning Mary wit the cloth got the cloth for my feet They switched on me baby I cliqued up wit nephilim I was in the house getting zooted off a reading Flashback here we go again Like forgot what it means Panic wit me baby plz hand me some more tree Them ppl Made me question they belief When they walked me down in that street Amen I'm loving it Tripping and stumbling Went out a bought me a rose I fell in love wit the notes Thinking and wondering How do I juggle it I had to Double the dose What you experience I cannot question it I guess you know what you know Stop in amazement I cannot chase it Thankful for lanes that I chose I often isolate I cannot try no more Feel like a man on the moon Alien archetype Seeing the inner light Hop in the starship and go

Live from the wormhole I am eternal , coming up watching the burners , memory failing me I had to journal , I had to work out a way to get back to the earth , codes and mechanisms too hectic single vision ain't working back to the dirt , I gotta different message , life lesson if you know what I'm taking bout, think on it, feel the presence , we going on walkabout ready for anything , cautious bout everything anyone what in the fuck do you put in yo brain , in yo lungs , what is you munching huh, who is you crushing on ? Fear and Lust, I do not talk to my peers much , frankly I just could not give a fuck . lone mission , solipsism Plato my dawg nigga , Heraclitus my dawg nigga , Epicurus my dawg nigga , Diogenes keep them dogs wit ya . Head for the top , left from the bottom , bubble up double up I'm seeing commas , you cannot stop I nor we , Our team built like Glock nineteen's , start that beef , We start feeding ya , This that top flight team , this that confirmation of a dream , this that way to get it done , this that everything, this that dancing to the top and go and break the chains then go and make some change This that fucking flip the page , this that sip that drank , this that celebrate that .

brand new day , different ways we gon we deliver the product , chopped it up and made a way , Outside smoking chronic , different plays , we sick we got the plague ,this shit bubonic , watch out for the fakes , they bite like piranhas , swirl the staves we block out the hate , hit ya noggin , earned my raise , increased all my commas , head of state, I'm Obama , first day we addressing all that drama , I hang wit the braves , tomahawk em , babygirl great but she cannot fix my problems , I was in a daze , I was fucking crazed , pop you like a polyp , turn you to a wraith , one foot outside one foot in the grave , waistdeep sink or swim man I had to change . Charge up wit the gang , flank , take it to the bank , stay awake to see them profits boy we don't blink , 38 the realest ever boy what ya think .

How many days I been geeked off micros fix that typo This shit ain't cheap like iphone This beat sound like huff nitro Just filled my cup up wit some ichor Compute Code like python Built that fort, she just hit my pylons Geeks not dorks , Feel that force if you heard one damn song This bitch can't keep her pants on can't be landlocked Got my bearings, had to fix my tie rod I take flight She just took me off her iPod I don't really wanna fight I wanna move beyond Tell that bitch It's all for one like I'm brand Nubian Just got shaped up metatron , can't get placements get a job , babygirl lift my fog . In that crease like billabong , Kill that shit my dawg , shark attack megalodon . This is a tactical poem , they feel the passion , I get to gassin my lungs , never lacking . We just dismantled the bugs , all of your bases belonging to us, ain't no replacement for love , I think we won Never wanna talk about it If you go and talk about it they could get it flipped Goin on a walkabout Most them boys that talking down ain't never took a trip If you wanna talk about it I could get ya hip I don't think you ever really thought about shit Interface elevate Supersonic hit the chronic Meditate on this Is you really truly really happy how it is If you had to Would you go and do it all again Mandelbrot place the dots Look inside Connect em form a grid And Im tryn not to blow my lid And I'm tryn not to be violent Tryn to be ascetic now Everybody hectic now Stay ten toes and learn my lesson Meetings with the inner child Headed for the meta cloud Superficial Artificial exit out Glitch

This is the hue of a mans being , speaking. lunatic lunar tic full moon tick boom werewolf , another body exhumed , unearthed gnawed and chewed . A loose screw for your loose tooth , gotcha youngins seeing fairies in they view, now you gotta move cuz shit starting to move around the room. These dummies eating over tombs. These funny spirits really playing wit you too? I hope they amused. Gumbo money sprung from the artery , fumble of the papacy partially , a whole lotta red and not a lotta C tho . Make a deadhead up and read a sea scroll . all Im seeing we'd smoke. Respect carpentry , burn that Palo Santo I'm a hero. Demon slaying a nightly occasion I'm deniro but I'm not Caucasian. Wipe my feet on this administration. We all in this , they called, united nations gave word to change the words before they hit the stations. Could it all be this absurd? Fear , lust , this, that and the third. My makers mark is the twinkle of sparkling herb, That twisting spiraling curb that brought man that seminal urge to spread frolic and fucking flourish. In my pen I could write a curse and sin, have em asking how my tracks curved from innocence, we choose to do the devil dirt and win more dirt , the chores never end . Dust in the wind . Bygones fore long Gon turn you the fuck in . A storm come striking in a frenzy , upended every trick and it was plenty . I thank God that we are many , psychosis had me thinking it was just me . hello , how many cigarillos am I gonna blow, while famine stalked the nation , I needed transmutation self imposed limitation , a time for every purpose under heaven , sent back to sender , watch the frame work no extended perks , fish fry need perch , smashing cults that tell too many fables , bootleg Cain and Abel , my abilities freeze blood rodents that each cheese , you a rat that's a fact I can bag any rat across the map , divinely guided on the path Sumerian laugh ancient artifact. live life like it's your last , divinely guided on the path , bredren I wanna go to heaven , my fault I'm gonna go talk to strangers at 711 . it's 3 am you missing new dimensional beginnings , what's ending is no more defending half sided friendship . attack on the Titanic dont panic , third eye see through your crease and crevasses , on my little gold chain my neck but ain't no chains up on my neck , attempt to called me Toby ill set you on fire Mr Maguire , sir Esquire , go pick up Iizzy cuz the gods ready to get busy, Zionist bleed cyanide perpetuate in my genuine balley leather snake skin school of life, never claimed to have it internally have it all watch the leaves fall, we ball hard, autumn fall!
