I don’t need a lot of dollars in my pocket Just enough to hit the shop and cop a couple comics If we’re talking green, you know I’m talking kryptonite Thought bubbles to the right said I need a bite A stack of six comics sates my appetite Reading while careening through a scene of black and white The sun gives me great strength like a daxumite Praise rao if my style makes you an acolyte The doomsday clock is ticking to the action right Make sure I’m acting right I take the lessons from the pages like the wisdom of the sages Cuz the writers write their versions of some ancient fables based in Old religions and myths Then they’re flipped into this As if your favorite superhero lived on Mount Olympus Or from the towering abyss Like Swamp Thing chomping on the flowers that switch And allow him to come to terms with the fact that he’s dead Wrapping his head, around the pain, I’m rapping instead I’m not much of a Bruce Wayne, I’m more of a Buddy Baker More of a dummy that’s hard up for money and funny with quirky behavior Not much of a savior But conserving the earth would earn a rebirth The Green and The Red in Reverse The rot is spot where the lot of us blurt The truth and it hurts and poof and it’s worse Boom tube to a new earth Got a blue ring, but two things first gotta say the oath, Gotta spray the hope All around the globe cuz it burns bright Turn the page for a climactic fight Superman and doomsday clashing like titans The left and right of my brain fighting when I’m writing Verbally exciting Like it’s onomatopoetic Invisible eclectic with an existential tendency Poof , a cloud of smoke, I’m out, I hope We cross paths again, never doubt I’m dope And I assure you that I’m having a blast Prepare to laugh like it’s joker gas I’m in the house, house of El or the house of M Meets the house of pain, but it’ll never sound the same I jump around, leap a building in a single bound, Fires in the eye of the beholder, so behold it now, from out the dark I’ve fanned the spark And got it flamed on like like Johnny I’m part sweep the leg meets mr miyagi Like a crane kick but with language Left in anguish If you attempt to extinguish The fire with which I’m cooking Inspired by comic books and the like to get it looked at as tight So all these songs that I write Are from a secret issue of ninth wonders and Isaac was right No not that one that I know, the one from the show He could paint the future and this is how it goes On an alternate globe, but I promise that they exist Fingers crosses that we’ll cross from this world of mischief

I’ve learned to harness my flaws Like Wolverines claws Weapon x that’s destined for blessed steps The next test requires I be my best Or better than the last time Better than the last group of rhymes And better than the person who imbibes Too many drinks until I’m unable to drive Unable to thrive and unable to shine Darkening the shades in the rooms within my mind I move freely between the past and the present King of this realm, past me was just a peasant Rather unpleasant to revisit this tenement Broken down palace to the memories and sentiments And the flaws that haunt these hallowed halls The gallows call for the shallow fall But the rise will be greater For the true and not the faker Emperors new groove subdued by the takers And the ones getting moved by the paper Can keep on moving from the rooms that I favor So always be yourself, unapologetically Unless a rhetoric of hatred is your remedy We spreading nothing but love in 2021 And I’m never gonna say that 2020 won We got engaged, got a baby on the way Of course we’re missing loved ones on the day to day But when it’s nice out, it’s light out, we back in the yard Fire pit going hard watching logs get charred Marshmallow on the stick, and there’s more in store Not just s’mores got a smorgasbord And there’s enough for everyone, Yup we having plenty fun Embracing individuals for who they are not where they from But tell me bout your life and I’ll be all ears Like an elegant elephant, let’s defeat all tears All year, we spreading love, and I’ll say it again So keep the hate over there, keep away from my friends Cappadonna said that love is love, love How can you not just love love Some good TLC like no scrubs, Or chasing waterfalls for the rub a dub dub Double up a dub, cuz I’m going for win win Michael Scott conflict resolution So that’s win win win and we all get a spin On the wheel of morality, how do we let him in When we’re socially distant, woefully distant But in this instance I’m hoping that hope can be gifted And presented in the present as a present, it’s a vision Of how living could be different if we all continue wishing and just listen to each other cuz there’s harmony in living And it’s harder if we didn’t See the art in all the hardships And it’s partially deriven No derived from the hearts that have tried to be part Of the song from the start

Will you be the Jean Gray to my Scott? I’ll be Ben Grimm, if you be my rock Just be thing that brings me such joy Sue to my Reed, or I’ll be beast boy Which makes you my raven, my heart for taking I’m artfully tracing Our path on this pavement From the start to the days where we laid in the shade Videos are made while the music is played Sweet as taboo like Sade Move to the tune so the groove is saved You make me feel super in the smoothest way This is the way I’ll be the Clark to your Lois Check my heart I’ll tell you what the glow is That’s blue for the hope, I’m using the oath To move through a room full of nopes Like to Arthur to Mera, I can’t make it clearer Sue Dibney and Ralph amounts to the mirror Your heroic love for me makes me feel strong That’s the reason for the song Could you be like Rita to Flex I’m Constantine keeping my demons in check Constantly, I been needing to rest But the energy your giving me is leaving me vexed Like Clark’s first time in the sun That’s the way it felt to learn we’re having a son So I guess he’s gotta shine like one And I can tell the story’s just begun Wait let me be clear, not a damsel in distress More like Wonder Woman in a sundress Now ya know we’re having fun, yes Like it’s year one, yes No stress, cuz we’re ready for what comes next And the roads set For strolling with a stroller Holding my hand When we get a little older I’ll still be your man And when the weather gets colder You know we got a plan Ready to raise a hero, like only we can So I can be the Johnathan to your Martha Kent In Smallville, talking bout the places we went The things that we’ve done and the music that we’ve played it’s always year one when we do it our way Overflowing is the way that my glass stays Since the first class days, to the days of future past days During the light and when times get darker Mary Jane Watson to the man, Peter Parker

Live from Newark, it’s Saturday night Late at night but it’s actually bright From the light of the stars in your eyes Starting to find A kindred spirit in your heart, intertwined With mine, so I might as well Design a time to tell Time to try and rhyme it well Wine, I’m feeling fine as hell And I think you’re feeling that you I’ve been staring at you Star gazing, constellation with your tattoo Cuz the dots all connect Got all respect, so I never would neglect Took a deep breath, then I took the first step No testing I leapt, and I never will forget When we finally made that date A little Mexican food, then we stayed up late But it all started with one question Not a pop quiz, but please no guessin Could we meet next week? Maybe catch a flick, or take a walk to Main Street I’d be honored just to buy you lunch I got a hunch that we’d both like brunch Cuz you know the conversation is bottomless Just like the oj and the champagne bottles is I mean the bottles are, Moving full throttle headed far And I’m down to roll in your sidecar Let’s head to the bar, get a couple drinks No one has to drive, we can walk with arms linked Hand in mine Can’t define The feeling that I’m having at this crucial time Heart beating outta my chest And it all started when you went and said yes The only word that’d work is blessed And we ain’t seen nothing yet We went from drinking during the day dates To planning future play dates To moving furniture out of a room so we can placate And make room for the new moon of my world And it goes back to when I asked would you be my girl With one word you completely changed it all With one little glance on a night in the fall While new days may come with new challenges We got this, and you know what the balance is You’re the axis that acts as the poles The gravitational pull, that’s keeping me whole You’re the world, and our son is the moon And the journey that we’re on is getting real good soon

Well I’m hoping I don’t act up When they open the world back up From the start of the show until we pack up I need my personal space, so please back up Stay out of my personal bubble I ain’t looking for trouble I’m just trying to be Russell I’m just trying to play a little music for my friends in the struggle Living through this quarantine and waiting for something to bubble But there’s no wartortle in sight More toward an insight Than a lyrical fight A matador of sorts when contorting a mic Not conforming to the Norm when performing what I write But When I’m showered in sounds I feel the power from the hours that it took to write it down Washed away is the nerves When we finish the first verse of the first song for the return I’m here to spill the beans like Kevin Malone Some times it tough for me to try to get in the zone They’re closing down the stages where I came into my own And the places I was safest save just basically my home But when I close my eyes and the mic is hot I just imagine that I’m right back in my spot Soles stuck to the floor, and my soul wants more Of the life force born from the nights first pour I might work towards a life like yours But the one that I’m living is tight for sure I made my way, so it’s time to find your own Just be yourself and you’ll never be alone I need my personal space like a pocket dimension I’ve opted to mention My obstinate henchmen An obstacle but sentient With a penchant for dissent and contempt For the normal ways of thinking, and was sent To block my inner thoughts from escaping through the vents Yippee kayyyy yayyy, I’m holding hostage your event So put your hands up to the sky, and maybe just back up And for old times sake let’s act up

Do you remember what a party is? Few friends, few drinks, that’s a starter kit Been a long night, getting through the dark of it Because the sunshine comes right after the darker bit Put some music on, that’ll be the heart of it Feeling pretty super man, rocking fresh Clark’s and fit I ain’t coming here to start some shit Trying to make music for the art of it Miss shows with the crowds rockin left to right Well be back, that’s a fact, and that blessed night We gone do it like we’ve never ever done it before In loving memory of 1984 Thank you for being a friend, and supporting the dreams after they closed the east end The party’s going like we just don’t see ends Until we meet again we will always be friends Do you remember Do, do you remember / Aye wait hey How can we ever forget / Back in them days like a blender i mixed/ Uhh who’d ever thought that life would ever be tender/ Half the population dropped like it was caught in the blip/(uhh) Thanks the way that i snap/ I dont ever react i sit back and adapt on the track/ Thought i was beeswax the way the mind mines/ Higher than a star now they just looking so afar/(aye) Im just the king wizard im jafar/(aye) Wat they want war for you tryna even the score/ In life theres so much more in store/ No wonder why everybody lying to him/ Yea but i kno the truth thats why im the king in this booth/ I stand tall godzilla king kong/ And the party going on and on/ Flow is everlasting like a gobstopper Known to hob nob, with some odd rockers For taking odd jobs, playing parking lots Opportunity knocks, I’m poppin locks it’s time to conquer You can catch me in the yard at 2 wash On the stage, rocking sandals and my socks Peak comfort, no need to impress When you with the ones you love, get that much needed rest

Everyone’s felt lost When it’s time to get found, that’s when you really see the cost Was it worth it? Did it work to be imperfect? Did the serpents forked tongue trick you into something worthless Something to get hurt seeming like it had no purpose But the purpose was the rebound See we found A new strength in the loss, and now it’s cd bound If only me then could see me now Imagine the shock if I took it from the top But I’d change the time stream with the knowledge there to drop Through all these teachable moments I needed opponents to be a mirror to me and my weakest components My greatest enemy and my own worst critic Has always been me, Isaac I don’t think they get it While these gems keep falling, not doing for my health You can never find your calling, until you find yourself. it goes a little something this A story with a twist But the twist is that none of us exist Just names on a list A list that consists Of those who persist To fight hand and fist Against the dying of the light, trying to exist Dying in the fight, is just dying to exist Dying in the fight, is just dying to exist They say in that last moment, your whole life flashes by So what if right now is just that moment in your eye On the last day of the ride Will that change how you survive Or how the days pass you by Will you plan to move mountains with your time Make sure your legacy is solid and divine Compress a memoir and just drop it in a rhyme Put it on a cd, a flat disc like time We’re all waves moving at different paces Existing at different times, going through phase shifts Working day shifts until weekend play hits Get the band back together just so we can play this In the basement making claims that are baseless You know just casually talking shit to the bassist Having fun strictly on the basis That it’s not that serious and truly amazing

I know that this’ll sound far fetched Relatively rare like a farfetch’d catch In the dark took steps to be met on the street By my friends Myke and Melissa, little after 3 I was talking on the phone While walking alone When I saw this little creature, cue the chattering bones It was bigger than a squirrel, a little smaller than a fox I looked again and imagine my shock It jumped straight up, maybe 3 or 4 feet Hit the ground rolling, that was the last we would meet But I know what I saw, plain as day that night When I’m wearing contacts I have great eye sight I’m sure I know what you’re wondering If it was at the shore, influence I was under then And you may be right, I ain’t debating that But I looked it up online, so it’s basically a fact A few years back, they published this article And unless Nat Geo is running with something farcical Then it’s totally reasonable to see one Cuz they’ve been moving north for the last 12 seasons This little 9 banded bandit I guess it’s got the sand, so I kinda understand it I can see the allure of a dune Close to the ocean, but a storms coming through What more can I do? I’ve been looking for years No one believes me, but I know the shape of its ears It’s moved on from the place of its peers Like a little spaceman with his face to the piers
