You’re the only one, Who could make the twilight zone fun You’re the only one, Who could make the end of the world fun Yeah, you’re the only one Who could make the apocalypse fun You’re the only one Yeah you’re the only one Lately it’s been feeling like the twilight zone I mean I think my life’s highlight is home Which in the past prolly never woulda flown With the little smart ass whose history’s my own And I know the goals to learn from it But the butterflies arrived in my stomach When I met your eyes, the sky could just plummet If the world would end tonight, then I would love it Cuz I found my forever in you Amidst a bevy of views That would shock and astound the most heaviest dudes But when I’m with you, I feel lighter than a cloud with a violet hue So when the airborne toxic event Is starting to vent Into the upper atmosphere, we’ll pitch a tent But prolly keep in the basement to be safe Got the garden out back to feed your pescatarian tastes Six months later, the apocalypse Has eclipsed and it started to switch Back to eden, the food that we’re eating Is fresher than a thresher who just got through feeding Got two meanings, I got two loves Got my one true, and we both got our son Still got the moon being lit by the sun And the roads are so empty that driving is pretty fun It was then I stopped, locked eyes with the pretty one Big L’s taking a nap, so should we get some Shut eye or touch thighs and add another one I mustn’t lie that I will get the job done Apocalypse kiss like a soccer kick hit and I got a hint That we’re the last of us for a stint But the past is just a flint that never got the spark lit I got your heart to bring the light to the darkness

Prepare to be gobsmacked while god gets whacked Hot raps packed back to back with facts Back in black I’m Agent Que here to ruin you day Got a noisy cricket for the wickedest strays In all the wickedest ways ive seen man play god Try to make dinosaurs, like aint a damn thing odd Aint a damn thing god could do to stop the crew They’re watching you to see your moves To make computers who act just like you To work in the factories with olfactory sensors that can smell their shit That’s the plan that’s it I understand that it’s A lot to grasp when you really wanna ask Will a bot qualify for a platinum plaque Cuz really I ain’t having that We gotta keep art with the hearts of our pack We live with man made pain In man made houses, and man made planes For when men make plans to make man made reigns To make men stop, aint a damn thing changed They said god made man in his own image Just to make a new god using his visage Now AI’s gonna build the next prison To keep down the folks who are out there living Driving cars or planes? Are you a pilot? The first bold move made to stop the change of climate Would be to neutralize the infection This ain’t the last of us, we’re all the infected A new directive would be great but we’re stepping Into a weird pool that’ll teach it’s own lessons Catch up You gotta take the wheel If you want to make the real Just try to make them feel A little bit of something if it’s real It’ll cut through, and appeal To like minded folks in your field Use that to play shows, make foes with your bros cuz a common enemy will make all lights glow I suppose I propose To limit what grows Before a Terminator shows up and I’m froze The toy soldiers even bolder Archer doesn’t stand a chance with no boulders Or crossbows I’m across from my foe Writing in my phone, and of course it’s an iPhone Decepticon? maybe, but it’s still my phone Either way I know that I’m not alone

Let’s make a daring escape Me, you and Big L at the cape Which cape? not sure but have a feeling We’ll hit more capes than a super villain Whatever place that’d make your face Into the beautiful smile I await to face Face to face in a place where space Looks so close, in the middle of no place Nowhere not a care in the air Preparing to tear into a lounge style chair Right there, where the ocean seems aware Like when you look out, it’s looking back Just like the ocean in your eyes to be exact Kept intact is my heart since the start of our pact To always have an eye on one another’s back And like that, I can buy the family pack Of Oreos and not get any flack Back to travel of the imaginary The kind that’s fun and non scary No large crowds, no loud sounds Actually there’s really no one around Cuz it’s us laying down Visualizing different spots in a town I’ll describe a view to you You describe the vibe to me I’d prescribe that we try a new way to fly Cuz a plane seems lame to me Just hold my hand and feel the weight be lifted Feel our feet floating, start to create distance Between us and the ground, us and the sounds of the bustling town Rushing around, touching the ground Good luck, now we’re bound for a touchdown Back home we’ve been gone too much now Cuz the thing about us now Is a staycation would be so clutch now So tell my boss I’m on pto, the hours that they owe Cuz we got absolutely nowhere to go I’ll call this part nap time Play the curse filled raps time Fill 2 glasses with red wine But I’ll probably finish yours after mine And after that I’m fine It’s so funny looking back in time No box was safe from the vine To the time it was chosen to shine Sunset blush, oh what a rush Back to the first time we touched All so quick, voices hushed I just love you so much

Pretty 6irl 03:45
Another day, business as usual I have to say that life has been beautiful I work away, to keep the brain straight A member of the team, and everyday is great Each has a job, each has a certain task I come up with the questions that he’ll ask He’s staying busy, his band is playing shows He often lays low, sings with his eyes closed So it’s not often we approach A pretty girl, no tippin of the boat I tip my hat, as my coworker lets me know That the time for me to shine has finally shone Oh no Will my training work? Should he be feigning jerk? Or should the question be pertaining to the zanier Side of things, I’ll try to think As he’s just thinking of the songs he has to sing So then I’ll sound the alarm This is not a drill This pretty girl is real I’m running through a list of questions just to see her deal Ask about her day Get her a drink and you can pay Do whatever takes, just so she don’t walk away But she seems engaged Yeah she seems she’s game She seems to smile every time your nerves get in the way Now it’s time for you to play You have to go and hit the stage no you didn’t get her number, but I think it’s okay Cuz there’s countless ways today To fix the last mistake And maybe she will make that first move and send a message your way But for now it’s time to play And front row you see her face Now every time that they’re closed you’ll go right back to this place And it’s odd just like the bar But in the sky there’s not a star Cuz they’re all up in her eyes, shining right where we are I said it’s odd just like the bar But in the sky there’s not a star Cuz they’re all up in her eyes, shining right where we are Switch it to manual I am now manning the mandible Jawing my jaw up with jawns She’s pawing my arm Confusing my awkward for charm And that’s a maneuver of art Who woulda thought That you would come to a new part Of moving the heart With dude in pikachu, she can do better than he could do But when it’s we could do We could do miracles,

'07 Joe Flow 01:55
07 in the Glasgow stadium Joe blows through with a steam filled cranium There’s no containing him So we Unleashed the beast there’s no restraining him But let me keep explaining him Kept a smile on everyone’s face Always delivered a joke at the right place Maybe not the right time, but the right pace Was always trying to do whatever it takes And he could hack it like the coach Had an immaculate approach To play attack and hanging back to smash another goal He’d make you laugh, then take it back, and play another joke And when his folks were in the crowd, you would know Family dinners for winners and losers all the same Cuz we would eat before the games Then at night we’d drive our parents insane But wait let’s get back to the game A crosstown rivalry, egged on by social bribery Take down Goliath, if you aim the rock righteously Overtime, and the minutes count til finally Joe scored the game winning goal, exclaiming mightily We went nuts, that nights burned into my brain I had to text pale for fact checks, but we recalled the same It had been a little while since I seen Joe last So it really messed me up when I heard that he passed I remember causing problems in drivers Ed class Then real fast, we aged and split paths We saw each other a few times since then And every single time you showed love like my friend You saw me play music at the bar with Matt Mojo Main in 13 in fact I guess i never imagined that that Would be the last time we brought it back And there was something bout the way he told the story And I’m sad I’ll never hear him do it for me Yeah there was something bout the way he told the story And I’m sad I’ll never hear him do it for me
8.
How can I move the crowd First of all no mistakes allowed Even when it’s loud And when you’re in a strange town If you’re ever up on stage be prepared to put it down And when it’s down keep it there As long as possible, to get em up outta their chairs Feet clamor on the stairs just to stare And be amazed by the bands flare But we’re just 4 dudes tipsy, playing for tips see So drop whatever in this bucket for some tricky Rhymed lines on time, but time must be learned Here are some basic instructions before leaving earth Killah Priest, kill a verse I’m trying to rhyme like Masta Killas first Which means I’m putting in the work I’ll stay up all night to write Long as my baby’s alright That’s my baby from my baby so I’m saying it twice I know it’s crazy, so crazy that I’m playing tonight The Lindanator’s got it on lock, so we’re good til midnight Cuz with age, the thing I find the most strange Is we still our parents permission for us to rage Every microphone could eventually explode Feel calmer than the unibomber when I’m in the zone Studio set up in my home So if you wonder what the bass meant, that’s the rabbit hole With the band, or with my guitar all alone I’m prone to let it flow and I’ve shown from show to show That I can really go So if you’re thinking it’s no, that’s really none of my business though Cuz I do it the way that I like And the way that I write The stream of consciousness is finding honestness while looking for the light And also finding detours along the way is pretty tight So while the light lights the white rhino type in the pipe I’m thinking that tonight is probably turning out alright

(Yukki_Yoda) Is you lost in the sauce Or caught in wave So many dying be the boss But who finna pay Same ones lie when they see cost Ain't got it today Fuck it it's here for the take You niggaz scared of a loss That be ya biggest mistake Put all ya fears on the cross Now you afraid of your fate I'm here to conquer it all Scary niggaz stay in ya place Know you role You a npc in this life But Ill inspire your growth So stay close To the action It's the law of attraction Boy it's all in the passion And I'm past due actually In my spaceship coup Passing you casually Turning everything you claim love Into a casualty Ya my boy issa new era You see how the world turn Fam issa new terra Embrace the plan We dont do errors Just take the L and do better Yukki_yoda One of few pharaohs I took the oath Pledge alliegence to the stars Not the stripes or the frauds But the floating fire orbs And I had to leave my corpse Just to finish the course Its why they call me yoda boy Cause I'm blessed by force It's only gravity I know it feel a little heavy But compared to the weight on my shoulders It's petty Take a tulip to the heady Don't do it for a penny Bro i do it for the creddy And I needs that Feedback On the microphone Like i relapsed He that Boy you could never check Off of another list I move in curves So the plot always got another twist Play me thrice Still cant peep all the bars you missed (Russell ¿Que?) All these NPCs need to let me be Got a game I’m trying to play, hmm let me see Browse through my inventory Pack packed to the gills but the MVP has mad DLC Bought and paid for From the game store So if they pay more I shouldn’t stand a chance, even if I play more That just sounds wrong, need I say more And this happens in the real world too Just to show the simulation clear even from your view If the planets like 8 bills We can all have the great builds We can all have the same wills We have to shine in our own way to make chills Align the spines of something fine, and combine with the hate filled Masses, just a mass of classless acts Impact like a phantoms axe And heads will roll as we plan to pass The rock back and forth in this champions match I’m handy wit raps Don’t get caught sleepin like snorlax I came through to conquer like I’m Garguax Gargoyle perched with a plan of attack In the span of a rap I’m back mic brandishing so handle with tact Cuz if you step up, I’m sending you right back to the back And that’s that

(Russell ¿Que?) I love you like it’s my job, and I’m trying to be employee of the month No need to cook the books it ain’t a front Tell me what you want, I’ll make sure you have everything you need Doing everything to provide for you and my seed We’ll plant seeds in the garden to grow, It goes to show That old dogs can learn new tricks on the go You’ve made me such a better man, and I’m not sure if you know Who am I kidding, of course you know cuz it shows You’ve made it work to play shows You and Big L front row We’re and unmatched match I suppose it’s never go fish, cuz I fished my wish You always find the one when you’re not looking for it Don’t get yourself down when you see the good times Cuz through the dark light shines til it’s finally your time I never felt like I was prime until I seen her light shine And when it shines well it shines so fine (2x) (DIggz Sentences) It all started off as a fad that ended as a habit when the next fresh cassette dropped I had to grab it in the Walkman with mega bass my headphones blastin led to me leaving my "prints" on the mic like Aladdin fast forward to my favorite lines rewind it 100 times polish the craft, memorize every rhyme puttin scotch on the top so I could dub Power 99 mixes from Doc at 9 o clock just the way I grew up, cassette tapes littered my back pack, and I would get so mad when a case got cracked Read the thank you's on the in-flap tried to keep em in tact lent em all to my friends didn’t get the shit back missing the creativity that made its way into me a smidgen of the energy would replenish tremendously until then, it’s just another sad love song, written Intentionally from Diggz, dispensed lyrically

When I first met you you I knew knew Just what I had to do Hit you with some new moves A little vroom vroom Then we’re heading back to my room Heart going boom boom There was magic in your kiss like voodoo Got my hands on your hips like a tutu I was born for this like prince Khufu Falling in love got a booboo I was never trained for this, choo choo But I still said hi like yoohoo And it mighta felt like deja vu vu Now six years in and it’s too cool Big L’s doing great in school school And I’ll always be your April fool fool To celebrate your birthday as usual Unusual as I can be Unsuitable and unfriendly Just kidding but see that’s what I’d be If there was a time you weren’t beside me So ghosts can try me And even saint beasts I ain’t the type to go around just slaying beasts But saying beefs Really anything is giving it the power it needs So if we nip in the bud then it’ll never grow leaves And if we nip a little bud then when the kids all leave Well have a meeting outback I’ll be right by the trees But I’ve been right out of these Appropriate rhyme schemes And I just write em with ease But there’s a fire that’s inspired by you you and me
