No I never can say goodbye You've plotted my demise, and that's been a good try And I know that it sounds just like I could make you a celebrity overnight But I ain't Twista, mista, I could grab a mic and leave it bruised and blistered Who's assisting these fools with writtens The rules are missing as they lose their mission I stay on a great track since way back when i had the 8 track Now i got 16 to spit 16s that's sharper than guillotines and cooler than ice cream I've got you jealous and greener than lima beans Cuz i'm King Kong with a beat climbing the scene Rhyming to me isn't mindless, you see Need to spend some thought and time with a beat Please come correct if i'm on the beat step into the ring and i'm gonna eat Reptile with the flawless victory You're history, because you can't spit with me I'm banging on the lunch table, you can't sit with me I'm at the nerd table with the Pokemon cards don't be alarmed cuz the flow here is hard Charizard meets the Bard and the heart of Scotland Yard Man, I'm going to the bar But first I'll stop at Capriotti's, they fucked up my order but i got two free Bobbies So it could always be worst, I got some free food and two lines for the verse But that just goes to show I'll never say goodbye, i can only say hello to the music.

Hip Gnosis 03:19
What if my intelligence was artificial, Given to me by an architect with a chisel to create the unofficial simulation keep it simple the initial instinct is to view the superficial But is it all a lie? Is it strange to wonder why, the world's connected by WiFi As i write this on my phone but my mind is starting to see i should leave it all alone Not the red or blue pill, i take the green ad then i'm stoned I get why it's banned Cuz when you tune out is when you start to understand the plan Or at least it helps you think a little openly hoping we can go about our day and never know if we were meant for something great, But i'll tell you what we know Is that we're all Neo, Hopped up on placebos Close your mouth and go back to work at Home Depot Be on the lookout for the man from the repo When's the last time you flew out into space turned around and seen the earth's shape What if what we live on is a series of plates? An infinite plane? Curves can't be seen from a plane Let me disclaim i do not think the world is flat but i just think that our knowledge is lacking facts if we went to the moon then why did they destroy the flight plans so soon? And if life occurred here, why can't i believe that there are planets not near Full of life and more fear just a galaxy of lines uncrossed starting from different points, unaware that across the universe there's others just like you but maybe their skin is a nice light blue So i'll just say live long and prosper Start up my spaceship, turn on the defrosters Our minds are being mined By beings some would call benign benevolent and benign but that's the way we were desinged just a prison planet where we're all sentenced to bicker amongst ourselves, make sure you see the dentist get a nice job, sit at a desk, crunch numbers ah, now that you're number your minds easy to plunder this is how they get their power, we're just hamsters on a wheel whether this is metaphorical or real it holds a certain mass appeal if we can hide it in the messages of art it's true that an awakening begins within the heart so we're more than just a cog in the machine i dream that we all have a calling to be seen develop your thoughts and hopefully you'll gain a team and one day we'll break outta this computer screen when do i think that'll happen, never until then i'm on the bridge of the Nebuchadnezzar

I miss you like, archery competitions that lack precision like Stevie Wonder misses vision Like a radio tower sent transmissions to a planet in the distance and got lost in the abyss Like i was watching Misfits and a slick twist i missed it got an extra large shirt and i think that that's a missed fit like J'onn J'ones missed his green martian friends an archaeologist that found bones, but can't seem to harvest them a whale that's harbored in a darkened harbor when its fins are pumping harder than a block of marble falling on your metatarsals i'm sending words to you, here in this parcel written using only the tip of my metacarpals all of these long winded metaphors mean that i miss and wish to kiss and that would just set the scene My brain and your brain contain similar brains we tend to overthink things but the timing is the same so when i feel like i'm being a stupid overthinker i remember that's an oxymoron like a sober drinker a skunk calling you stinker waiting for your turn without a blinker a mute trying to be a singer all hyperbolic, hypothetical symbolic situations in your optic but we both must learn to stop it cuz we stay on the same page like bookmarks and tree bark all the books we read share a tree start an oak chopped down that print words that sound like yelling "TIMBER!" at the top of their lungs as it's falling down I'm never stalling now you've awakened artistry that was a part of me and now it's hard for me to think of where it started see it can be traced to a night in November i grabbed your face and now i'll always remember. I was moving undefeated met the number one contender but neither would conceded cuz we were both feeling tender afraid of the pain of the heart in a blender but this ain't Eve 6 If i can't have everyday with you i at least need six days a week we're dazed, asleep pantsless laying in our sheets it's been a while since i wrote but now my lengthy, obese piece is complete

TRU(e)MAN 02:51
Sometimes i feel like an insignificant human been trying all my life just to be a fair, true man here in this town that i'm terrified to leave cuz the media is feeding me the fears of what could be but what if i can make to Fiji? And find Sylvia waiting there? She needs me. Ever since she told me it was all a lie I've been pulling my hair out to figure out why the rain it falls from the sky, but only on my head like this rain cloud is part of a play's set so i'm living in the basement, diggin tunnels that funnel me through the struggle, got over aquaphobia cuz that shit is just a puddle as the lightning strikes high, i hear a man speak he tells me there's no more truth past the wall that i've reached but i don't think that's right and if i don't see you, good afternoon, good evening, and good night so what if i am just a guy inside a movie call a spade a David Spade, i guess, and Just Shoot Me It's all created by a genius director who crafted all my phobias to make the show better Jaws wasn't a blockbuster hit It's just a figment of my imagination to make me lose my shit when i approach the ocean hoping, i don't pick up boating Or try and leave and find the dome, i'll open my mind to new possibilities and really be the truest me i can be They need conflict, so they send in more actors act like great friends, then quickly change faster than the head of Linda Blair it's an exercise, hit the stairs people stare and they watch the development but now that i'm doing well They start to change the channel and the ratings fail Happiness is fine and good, but misery loves company when orchestrated by some dark word puppetry they would love if we'd uncomfortably accompany redundancy with a suddenly uppity abundance of profundity So all i'm trying to say is i can see behind the scenes but i'm not really sure what it all really means

Thrusters, engage Frustrated, enraged Sent out of this cage to discover a new place they say the current plane Is getting kinda old And parts are warming up that used to be cold So you should blast off, take a friend with you Find a new home for our clones to continue So i journey and the stars fly past the stars look like lights, so i laugh I used to listen to a mouse speak lectures So it looks like he was right, all the stars are projectors An as they shine, they predict that it's the time to find a new world, so i prepare to land mine Check the atmosphere, oxygenated I guess that's a good sign that i've obviously made it I radio home, "Houston, you should listen. Take a left at the north star, then start big dipping. I'll be there, awaiting your arrival Ensuring mankind's survival." Well i hope it's worth the wait Then something yelled, "Terminate!" A circle circulates as their chief of staff walks up to me and threatens to eat my face he heard we were a diva race of demons who would need a place and then disgrace and leave a place eat all of the feed, and make machines that kill the weeds and waste the air that we were given for living, i think i need a break He told me i need to return with a message "Tell them all the world needs a break to replenish especially through the rule of the reddish Apprentice."

Riddles 04:57
Raw papers I just worked ten hours of flawed labor But that's all int he back of my mind, caped crusaders, prepare for the caper Don't you see the question mark on the top of the skyscraper Ed Nygma. Riddle you with riddles. You found a letter with words from a magazine's middle Don't think to hard, remember who you search for Tied to a railroad track, is a young Burt Ward You don't have to drive, but we can get cross country real fast Sit back, relax, maybe play a couple tracks. There's dining rooms in the back And there's a kaboom in the last Get it cuz the last car is the kaboose? The first two clues were like chasing a wild goose what will you use, to loosen the noose? Don't you see the train's light barreling down at you Riddle you with riddles It's a downpour, not a drizzle What i scribble is a sickle and a missile Little by little, i'm causing unrest that's civil killing beats they need a candlelight vigil There's three men on the boat, four cigarettes, no matches They all wanna smoke, but how do they manage? I crack myself up, man what a clever writer. They throw one off the boat, now it's a cigarette lighter And while this may seem like a tricky one to get I'm about to start a blaze from the deck of my ship don't be fooled as if the plot's small, like Oswald A fire in the harbor by the port of Gotham That will attract the attentions of the Bat So i can slip into museums with no flack Spent a while with Selina Kyle, "Yo Cat! That painting's mine, so won't you get back!?" We laugh, because the city's our for the taking I'm no maniacal Malcolm Merlyn, no undertaking No earth quaking, Wait, did you hear that? Of course a fire would only briefly distract the bat What lacks flesh, bone, and nails but has four fingers and a thumb? Of course i'm wearing gloves, I'm not trying to leave one Fingerprint, since 66, i've been cover But Batman could write me a sentence with no words that's why i go first, and write a note down while i make my escape with a diamond studded owl That's the type of shit that i do, got em all thinking "who?" Like i even give a hoot, so i'll just leave them a clue But that trail will go cold like a victory for Victor Fries If they're not quickly thinking that it's me Because i plan to leave, you know i've been scary More Frank Gorshin, than Jim Carrey But as i drive, something's obstructed my view A letter in the car, hanging from the rearview Signed by Batman, now what will i do? When's donkey spelled with one letter? When it's U

R U A Were? 03:02
Have you ever been bathed in moonlight? The creature from the Black Lagoon upon a boom mic Tonight seems too soon to lose sight Eyes on the prize but pursuit might Get me outta my head when the sun sets Feel the creature inside me prepare me to get the one night a month the beast is unleashed a lunar lunatic looking for some fun please So hide your pets cuz I'm in for the chase The full moon shines, change begins in the face Snout elongates, teeth turn to fangs Nails elongate, heart racing like a mustang Fur shoots from my skin til it's in complete control of my person A new version, the primal urge grabs the reigns and then pulls Now i'm at the bay of the curse of the wolves Are you aware where the werewolves are? When the full moon shines drowning out all the stars We're everywhere, lurking down behind cars Howling at the moon which is pretty on par we used to mind our own business in the woods Cuz chasing down a deer, that's the goods. Even in my short lifetime there's been a change Humans ruin forests, reducing my hunting range during the day i'm able to try and plan it, But when the moon hits other me don't understand it So if you see my ungodly stare in Trolley Square this ain't a nightmare and you should be scared Run fast, and hop to god i run past your dumb ass If i'm hungry then don't laugh. Cuz this wolf's appetite is no joke Imagine the munchie urge of a werewolf that smokes.

B.G. 02:08
We must wake up to break the rebirth cycle Don't follow the light, don't be a good disciple When we die here, we go to a plan of nothing And see large groups of people, all fucking That's the way we choose our parents for the next life according to the monks in Tibet, they lead the best lives in order to stay awake and aware, Cuz as a normal person i can understand being scared Seeing that would have a profound impact Change your whole syntax, as soon as you get back Your brain is wiped of memories, past forgotten, Jotting down everything, you'll find it if you blossom feeling downtrodden, as it goes down like a toboggan it seems like you're only left with one option But that's the fucking trick they want you to believe this, but we don't need this It's fixed with a swift shift And then you'll spend eternity out in the void, feeling one with everything, no longer understanding annoyed Interdimensional, not following conventional theories of being put up on a pedestal We're unacceptable, making true enlightenment inaccessible cuz this world is just their trash receptacle and we are their intergalactic prisoners Ever since the cavemen were met by space visitors so listeners, Just think about it for a while, We're the firewood in a perfectly shaped pile

Well i met her at the Walmart What could impart a spark to the heart Like an eye dart from across a shopping cart So now i'm walking down an aisle of shoes that would never fit Cuz it's the women's section, but i couldn't see shit Behind the eyes of this bargain hunting dime I walked up and down the same aisle like five damn times and i'm sure she wondered why but the success of my drive-bys was apparent Finally by the toys, she asked if i was a parent i stuttered, giggled, then i choked, then i answered her question, "Nope" and i hoped to try and get off a joke, "Oh, I'm a famous rapper, ain't you heard all of my jams?" Knowing damn well that i lied, she said her name was Sam She cracked a smile, i think she knew the truth I fessed up, "I made my cart roll back just to see you. And that was over by the women's shoes And i knew this was my shot to shoot." Now the talk has started, and i ain't wanna lose her So i suggest McDonald's, this Walmart was super, And clearly she appreciates a good deal So we hit the Value Menu and we split a $6 meal tell me bout your life, and why were you looking for toys she said that she was shopping for her friend's little boy we were disrupted by a very loud noise a cashier flipping out, so we both try to avoid her eye contact, but the woman yells on To the greeter at the door with jingle bells on we smile at each other, hoping it wouldn't stop, and it was then we realized we both like to people watch not a notch in the bed post, she might be the one my bargain bin beauty told me that she had to run I asked for her number, she said "Leave it alone, Give me your number and two quarters and i'll hit you from the pay phone Now i'm sitting around, face in a frown It's been like 3 weeks since this all went down I can't believe this girl gave me the snub so I assumed Sam decided to join the club of my unrequited loves, That's when i felt a buzz My phone was ringing but, i don't know what the number was This is what i'm greeted by. right when it started "Sam would like to call collect, will you accept the charges?" I abide but my interest here is little I gave her two quarters yet she dialed down the middle She said "Hey, sorry for the delay Did you catch the premier of GoT? I can't believe how Walder Fray passed away-" I said "Wait!" Because my mind was blown "You can't afford a phone but got HBOGo?" She sucked her teeth loudly, told me leave her alone Hung up the phone and went back to her mother's home

FOG 01:23
I brought you flowers, Ramona I've been trying to know you since owning a Motorola Blade roller, Kicking up dust in my dreamscape She walked into my path, so it seems fate Wanted us to meet, great Then i got an email With some crazy details Telling me i'm gonna have to fight, i get derailed Cuz i don't understand what it's alluding to I'm gonna have to fight 7 ex's? Where's my super suit? Get my band together, fight the psychic vegans and the exgirlfriend that could vanish like a demon Life is a graphic novel A colossal debacle Through the fighters, i would toggle Choose the next opponent Own it all I can see is you when we're walking for the moment

Villains 03:35
Venom coursing through his veins, Poisonous pheromones inside his dome Could snap a backbone, if you act wrong He's often an irrational villain, but lately it seems like someone's controlled the killing I wonder whose the mastermind Bruce is convinced, he's a faster mind than mine we arrive at the scene, it's a bank covered in vines It happened so fast, this could be covered on vine Bank robbery wasn't the real crime they both set a trap, unsure of how to find Gotham city's two and number one defender Poison Ivy arrived, she whispered so tender "Bane, would you be a dear and handle the Bat?" Bruce looked at me and said "Dick, stand back!" A fight ensued and i watched a friend fall I guess i'll pick up the cape, the cowl, and all I'm sick and tired of these villains in my life, always putting up a fight You know the waves caused when a glaciers hits? That's the way i was hit, by Jack Napier's rapier wit. Hardly afraid of Harley But the anger between the two of them could harm me Swing mallets and allowing the malice to spill outta the chalice, they really cooked up the fowlest Plot to try and dirty the Wayne name But i'm the grey son, so i'm ready to take aim I get a call from Commissioner Gordon, "Dick just calm down, these two are known for performing." I heed his warning, that's a good call I haven't felt this betrayed since i seen the Red Hood fall So when there's a death in the family, the truest casualty is that we're left contemplating brutality But at this point, i'll just let the Joker joke and Harley can stand by the shit that they wrote Pull the ripcord out, Prepare for discourse to get foul because we're dropping in on the court of the owls Look Talon, don't make me call Barry Allen, Or Vixen with her family's medallion We can do this the easy or the hard way It was then that i heard the bodyguard say "Right this way, our leader would like to have a word," There stood a woman behind the mask of a bird She explained it was part of the plan, "Pardon the scam." They said my name how do they know who i am? I heard a "BAM", Bruce was locked up behind huge bars his exit was blocked up They've had him here since this whole shit started She said, "Follow me, and you'll be dearly departed." Spring into action, gotta save Bruce What's more important, a friend or a villain on the loose?

I Wonder 04:25
Well I wonder if i take you home Would you be down to watch Jay and Silent Bob alone? While we drink this box of wine and i get stoned, I'll grab a notebook and write you down this poem It's like just yesterday, I asked if you would stay But we were both nervous, so i said okay when you said that you should sleep at home, But via text messages on the phone, i'm not alone We're laying down, red and green lights fill the room Not realizing how empty it was without you But now that i've gotcha Some people tried to stop the Forward motion of our journey, now we know we got to Stick together cuz this feels like destiny The fates fated you would be standing right next to me Back when then when i was nervous just to peek at you We talked about my onesie, so shout out to Pikachu I wonder if I take you home... I'm not trying to make assumptions, Drunk and carving pumpkins, starting something, reminiscent of Joy's art with buttons My heart was jumping, I heard a Cherubim start to trumpet Cupid was summoned, she continued wine consumption She made me open up like an iPhone thumbprint Some dumb shit made that hard in the past Gotta get through tears before starting to laugh Now i'm past the past like dotted road lines I hit the gas real fast, pass on the left side Now that you'll stay over, i don't ever wanna leave bed, You revitalized my soul just like a retread On old Wallabees, so follow me, As i recount it properly I knew that this was real, so obstacles ain't stopping me Whether Aggro Crag or Eliminator I've got the guts to stick it out and await pay off later When i say i wanna settle down, it ain't settling When i'm with you I'm pumped full of adrenaline, Feeling like a genuine specimen of a gentleman You make me feel better than, most medicine Got an idea, light bulb, Tom Edison One kiss from the miss, is a jettison a reticent denizen surviving a love deficit, I've been searching for you since my genesis, which is pretty fitting Because we are each others new beginning and i'm trying to stretch the time out like it's mid seventh inning No kidding, now our house i where i'm sleeping no more frowns, so i'm down with grinning Spinning on the world with this girl, i'm winning And one day we'll make it official, no more sinning But i ain't really too concerned bout that, Now that we're here, I won't ever look back
