Niggas got me twisted Try to spit the love but they rather hear the vicious Standing as a man in the valley of the bitches Talking that insanity, like leaving victims dripping When it comes to action them niggas go missing Pussy in the air and it smell so vivid Chasing all them chickens while your children in the kitchen With no dinner in their belly and about to get evicted Going insane from this painful dimension To better things try to pay my attention Fuck all the haters, my family betrayed me I use all that rage to portray this rendition Grinding until I escape this infliction Never stop til I have changed my position Sever my veins and they draining the wisdom I battle through pain and maintaining my vision If I whisper will you listen I strive to be wise and I try to be giving The lion inside of me rises the fire entirely And this is why I’m conflicted I come in peace and niggas be tripping Nothing but silence when violence gets mentioned Put that aside, just let that shit ride And focus on rhymes to quit the critics Where the fuck was you when I was throwing up blood Every day before school, little nigga needed help Falling victim to the stress getting mentally abused By the one I came through, mothafucka gave me breath Confusing, misusing me losing my health Concocting a plot to be oozing my wealth Family ties, a promise and lies They don’t mean shit, I’ll make it myself Living dealing with demons Hearing them screaming Provoking provocative opposite meanings Can’t topple my genius Famished to phoenix, captured this zenith A savage when speaking Born a bastard but master beneath the Spectacular grieving, rather be seeing me Bleeding, leave to the nether regions Or caught in a box locked and retreating I bet I got your jaws dropped now Don’t look so shocked I will not be defeated I remember being ten Saw you wither away was the closest of kin But that fight you couldn’t win And I’m glad you were freed from that pain But I wish I could see you again Mi-Mi I miss you, the chemo didn’t fix you The cells that’s within you infected your tissue Time that we had I will never forget, true In my heart you will always exist boo Flash back to the present Walk a higher path while I grapple depression In these paragraphs where I crafted the message Half wicked graphics half valuable lessons Dissent from the masses when I depict my passion Formulated this practice to prevent the regression They say this couldn’t happen, now nobody is laughing I’m a lethal assassin when I vent in my session Control the aggression Invoking my soul and upholding my ethics While many let go of their sphere out of fear Of the coldest rejection, I chose to protect it I’m bold with my efforts Regardless if artists and all of the Modern collective accepts this You better respect it Perfected my methods, exploding my essence Can’t fold cuz I’m destined Disintegrate into atoms Sending rhythmic patterns Beyond what humans can fathom Data is never destroyed Record, forged in my matter The battles and wars stored Absorbed in a flood, from those that I loved The blood is leaking, excreting Seeking the shore, peaked still they reaching for more Free from discord when I feast on unraveling beats Til the ravenous beast madness release and peace is restored

Fully redeemed inside the dreamscape While under supreme weight Regimes break, ravines take shape My mental esteem shakes Extreme case, it may take place Where intricate faith withers Shape shifters tried to escape with haste Demons make chase quicker, wraiths shiver From the climate arising a violet (purple) Violent cataclysm pre-written within the silence Must a prophet predict the imminent abyss arriving When we ripping holes in the very sky that we relied in They say the devil searches for souls it’s those we providing An endless supply of dying evicted from senseless lying Crying ions into liquid The signals prevented by the relentless meniscus From disturbing the surface intentions The vile defile virgins, inverting the serpent’s prison Converting verses written, in plain sight where truth is hidden Myriad façade of demi-gods revolving the superstition Involve dissolving religions devolving the intuition Indoctrinated decisions intended to make incisions Serving to further murder any and all acts of resistance The media manufactures facts to distract attention Extracting that inhibition that causes the intervention Between becoming enlightened kings and queens or simply living Being beings bringing beams of light to the plight of existence Or cast into an unaware despair abysmal prison Wondering without a care which propels this hell affliction Is it my mission to regale, tell tales dispel this position? Or is it I fail to listen, assailed by the dead dimensions But such inquisitions are neglected and deemed irrelevant Cash replaces intelligence as the prevalent element And every since, the bloodshed commences hence Dispense the pent frustration sensations until I’m spent Repent and vent spirit awaken elation I represent While some resent the elevation, escaping I circumvent, any obstacles placed before me A vision detailed, while many foretell the opposite story I opt to concoct an allegory For those who follow the flock I’m not in your category Won’t stop although times are gory And topple the lies before me Inhibited by distributed waves throwing fits in this cage Growing demented from venomous rays that’s inflicting the rage Vague images pervade brains, causing sickness and pain Invade occipital til all remains a particular strain Insane villains attacking endocrine systems A fraction of masses that’s actually feeling Disastrous endings approaching, most hoping its rescinding Or cope by pretending Or vote for a finely tailored joke who spews dope from his throat Pause several seconds for reflection A moment for digestion I resume the introspection The session looms as I consume the luminous selection A cumulous collection proceeding the bleak complexion A feasting beak picks bleeding meat at the peak of perfection I try to speak but it’s too deep leads to a sheep’s rejection Content to sleep as I seek progression to beat this oppression Each lesson feeds essence the heat lessens, a brief convection Divided minds reckless devising to reach acceptance The signs materialize into weapons Designed to neutralize and quantify the prime into sectors Marginalized to spend their lives searching for why to the questions Nothing is fair And there is no escaping despair for the aware Burdens manufacture shackles to bear, caught in the snare Don’t beg for mercy isn’t it clear that no one cares In these dead dimensions

Sometimes I feel my mind’s in a trap that I just can’t get out Am I adequately defined by these rhymes I spit out Had enough of these fucks tryna tinker with my mind So the next time I find these swine Hitting them in they pig snout Your kind ain’t allowed in my vicinity It’s taking everything I have Not to cripple extremities, seriously Enemies surrounding me I don’t even deserve But they nerve come into question When they sense that I’m disturbed but The evil inside of me try to purge But the flak that I’ve been taking’s Awaking the demiurge, verbs With four letters come to mind but Instead I twist these rhymes Until every word in my lines shook Define crook, give nothing but take more Emphasis extreme cases to propagate this race war Place a woman’s value on how well she plays the fake whore A man’s worth determined by how much he fucking paid for Depraved Lore I find the confusion amusing abusing me losing myself I try to love but they misuse it I felt And on this hand I’ve been dealt Living in prison where my vision’s contained The strain and pain’ll drive you insane in this pitiful lane Verse 2 Pivotal literal chains, physical spiritual rage I feel like an infant whose building blocks Is getting washed in the rain, caught in the flame Sick of this battle tryna paddle the shame It make me wanna grab a pistol empty clips to my face Seems like everybody that made it is fake So where does that leave me? And all my hard work just left me down in debt Feeling depressed and simply left with regret And the shit just kills me Now all that I can do is focus on my plan Knowing if I ever get the chance to advance It would be ill see? Is it a cosmic joke I choke just from the irony Tryna live with pride while fighting the wild lion inside of me Are my priorities twisted, dwelling on specifics When I should be lifted knowing I’m gifted But the curses since birth dispenses the hurt It spreads in my head the worthless urges Purpose what is it shit, I’m wondering til I’m dead Dread Verse 3 Feeling deprived when I’m living with the villain inside Like this is my assassination Others living a lie I strive for emancipation Until I’m risen in skies Or whatever happens after you die I’m ready to fly, so sever the tie Never apologize for what I feel Like when lurking serpents surfaces Feeling urges to kill They ain’t interested in skills and forsaking the real Only way that they can deal is with drinking and pills One minute the trap the next minute racking the mills Hearing these acting rappers like taking baths in nuclear spills Fuck a catchy hook look I’m tryna feed facts Most songs sixteen bars my scars exceed that But never focus on what others do I heed that And need to receive that as I proceed to bleed tracks But loving something you feel obliged to protect it And when you think its disrespected Swear to god if someone tries They better run through they mind a second time Instead of reckless lying vying to infect it Yo I need to chill check it…Man I’m tripping

Vicious Bars 03:34
Ruthless then moving in Start to see the truth in friends who say you couldn’t win Trapped within the faker’s den and patience growing thin Contemplating the situation awakes the sagacious twin That sees beneath the root straight through to the hearts of men Faith to face with proof and the truth is out for revenge Living destitute hung by a noose or seduced by syringe The severity, clarity never hoped for again The longevity, severed and desecrated in sin Bend belief, grief harvested beneath as sheeple sleep A fickle feat I weep for souls lost You don’t know the half I hear the screams when demons crossing my paths Dealing with the wrath blast Shit is twisted When the occasional thought wages an assault Its vicious-ly insane as sadistic pain Travels dimensional planes Cattle misusing they brains Battle or poof from the flame When your frontal lobe’s inactive from infinite probes After masters hacked your matter existing as invalid code The cold shatters chatter from others offer distraction Enhancing venomous shackles Invented to push us backwards, action Must be taken but which way is the enemy flanking Excusing me I’m thinking Am I just wasting my time I’m losing my mind, I’m sinking Blinking rapidly tragedy captures me Nobody loves everybody’s attacking me Casualties had to be avidly made shit The wicked ways shit Yeah I’m tripping Mediate regain my focus Calibrate my system crank the ignition Get back in motion Who says that rap has to be all about pistols and boasting? What about expression teaching life lessons And thought provoking, open Your minds will you Let the liquid rhymes fill you Or stay in the confines of the design And watch it mildew, a nil few Probably understand these lines and in their times Have suffered as much as I have And I’m so sad from what you’ve been through Shall we continue? Verse 2 Konphlicted, multi-syllabic sentence The only thing that keep me sane when the pain visit Awfully strange isn’t it when your aim pivots Constantly strain in this frigid deranged game Just tryna maintain But sometimes the cavalry rattle me Trapped in the fallacy atoms’ll rearrange When the brain’s belittled subliminally The enemy’s endlessly vain But my faculties have to remain the same Even throughout the rain When the pain stops Make a decision to stay in submission Or commit to picking them chain locks And the strain flame arises, rage is quiet The vaguest whispers rips the silence, violence Flares the sinister blister lions tear their victims Beyond repair the despair of giants An icy stare for those who dare to be aware Within this lair of bias, feeling impaired Instilling fear under the veil of science Religion whatever social system dispels the riots And I am, caught in the tempest Trying to fix my symptoms Defiantly keep convictions Anxiety fits the tension And as the crimson approaches The corners of my vision Something’s got to give is all I can mention Sick of living hard Victory’s only worth inches the losses taking yards Vicious bars follow the sorrow so I’ll embrace the scars

Summers Out 03:31
Chorus Summers out of school Hooping the park Acting like some fools Living works of art In the days where it was cool to speak on subjects of the heart Verse 1 Yo, blowing cartridges playing Contra With bigger brother Why can’t we go back to that I wonder? But then the lesson Is anything built upon a foundation Cracked beneath the surface Is destined to burst asunder So moving on Remember the times when Now and Later Painted tongues sprung bronze nothings Just ducklings a break of dawn Imitating wrestling maneuvers until mother calls you To withdraw or so it behooves you Miniature contradictions Polite nice silent type like to listen But call me a punk chump I’d consume you We used to joke around clowning to the vaguest humor Beef occasionally but I never catered to the rumors Just living life it wasn’t always nice But shit it made us strong Torn undergarments and worn shoes I’m putting on Ready for school Bell ringing recreating with the best of my dudes Got a letter from a cutie pie Saying I’m the flyest guy put a check inside If I’m feeling her too I replied inscribing in the provided box Caught her when our lines crossed Slipped the note to her in silence Guess we a couple now after school the violence But that’s an afterthought I got a girlfriend Cannot recall the conversations on the phone when We talked constantly the simpler times A microcosm of society is that all in my mind, shit Chorus Summers out of school Chilling after dark Laughing like a fool Living works of art In the days where it was cool to speak on subjects from the heart Verse 2 Yeah, my interest switched from short stories and poems to music I took all the rage and sadness inside and infused it With eloquent speech delivered at a melodic beat Made a vow to be a lyrical beast never retreat Those teenage years before my direction was clear I started distancing myself from the rest of my peers A seldom few I would hang with When the game switched Females on drama, niggas the same gang shit Still a couple were cool Late night pizza chilling, Playstation Speaking on what lady they digging On the phone with mine later when the meeting was ending She fingering to my beating ain’t no need for pretending Shit it might be kids listening what message I’m sending Damn, just reminiscing on them older times Borderline nostalgia adore the kind corral you Enjoy the mind-state beepers cassette tapes Grapes wasn’t genetically modified But shit they could’ve lied I guess Was times really better then or they just hide it best? Releasing nano-monitors into your sinuses Clock ticking matter of time before they silence us Who the fuck I’m kidding no way that they can quiet this The way the vivid energy spits when the rhythm kicks Artistic emissions where other dimensions exist A place I’m glad to say I found when I was just a child Soldier, grown warrior now and I rep it proud Chorus Living by one rule Finish what you start Getting ridiculed For making works of art In these days where it ain’t cool to speak on subjects of the heart Verse 3 Yeah, fast forward from my adolescence to the present Doing a little better now still there’re parts of me stressing Is spitting a restrictive prison or infinite blessing, I’m guessing Both one in the same just perspective really Don’t even listen to rap no more the lyrics is silly I ventured more into a funk vibe Neo soul low tide let the beat ride just glide freely Fuck the fronting I ain’t stunting I’m just tryna be the Man I’m capable of, I’m learning to love Myself despite my many faults Staying true to my path despite whatever it costs Head high walking blind this land of the lost Bled rhymes fed signs but most of them false I’m at a cross-road

Sorrow 03:44
Verse 1 I get so sick of writing this shit with my pen Expressing what’s within although they never comprehend The longer that I live it just extends my many sins So burn my blackest shattered ashes scatter in the wind I’ve always been a quiet guy not materialistic Walk my own path and follow my intuition Suffered trials under the darkest clouds just to be different But the pain keeps changing me plain out of recognition People fake smile when rain’s coming down they missing And true colors get shown when your thrown in a cold position It takes hellava strain to maintain and stay sane Think I’ve figured the puzzle the pieces just rearrange The hardest thing’s just feeling that all of this shit’s in vain Why should it matter whats your lane When the destination’s the same? Can’t shake the mental frame that existence is just a vicious game Why you think people snorting ‘caine Ignoring destroying they brain? Avoiding all the rhetoric that’s embedded with lies It’s wise to peep the signs when the beast is under disguise Mothafuckas rep the streets and reap the complete demise Til you open your eyes you sleep in defeat where the sheep reside Leaking lethal people arise Premonitions of blind carnage Dissect the defection of mind where all the crime started The best have laid down their lives And in their primes martyred Only to leave behind the design by which the swine slaughtered Gluttony and greed exceeds the needs of the mistreated Who’s to blame fighting for change history keeps repeating Every day a child’s raping or tapings of savage beatings Feeling forsaken letting frustration take place of reason Generation’s disintegrating the hatred is bleeding us dry Question why you denied and vilified for treason How many have strived and died to actualize cohesion And yet we remain in a season where killing defines the region Chorus x4 It seems wherever I go The shadows always follow Will I be freed from the pain and the sorrow tomorrow? Verse 2 Making excuses from years of abuses would be useless But I can’t deny that the memories inside a nuisance Being victim’s a symptom of living in society But why do the ones I love seem to see the need to lie to me? It’s difficult to view the truth looking through frames that’s tinted These words are lessons expressions of pain I ain’t invent it Can’t ascend til I’m free within I ain’t ashamed to admit it Half of my brain’s sane the other vein’s deranged and demented I still remember the day laying displayed in the clinic Never fade away til I’ve strayed til I’m saved til I’m finished TIl I’m diminished to my grave and I’m raised and replenished Til my heart’s intention is properly portrayed in this sentence Despite the wisdom I’m given the resistance persistent Is it the system or did I dismiss my mission’s fruition? Did the fire arise from denying my mind’s ambition? No signs to find must look inside to guide the decline of friction Being stuck in the cusp of desperate driven position And feeling fucked and out of luck makes a livid condition This world is cruel providing fuel to the given ignition Can’t prove demons exist but I depict vivid descriptions You may be born with love in heart But time teaches you hate And no matter what path you take there’s no escaping fate The effects of excessive weight start to affect you atate Amplified by gods guise spies leaving demise in its wake They say that nothing lasts forever it has to get better But it seems as if my endeavors all get drastically severed And is it simply a fact that I’ve cracked from the pressure? Or instead of that its under flak which tenacity’s measured? These questions linger in my mind like a sign to a treasure If I resign to make the climb will I arrive at pleasure? Are we confined to grind behind enemy lines together? Will we define a meaning for our lives or find it never?
