I will Tie em up in nooses Drag em to the gallows Stealers of the light That protect us from the shadows Such foolish thoughts Thats what'd they think When he would speak As he'd precede to pick apart The price and cost So often he felt lost Of course he knew He was the only one to change it Without getting soft That shouldn't matter What's that chatter In his head That vial tone Is there a voice? Who makes the choice Why can't he turn it off? In the midst of all his questions He learns of filthy pit falls And regression How clever boy. You seem to deem yourself a man Only cutting off my hand While a Croc patrols the land Banish me to sea Though he knows deep down He will never truly flee Prepared as he will ever be For in my guts, sits a paranoia waiting to be swept away by the steps of dancing dreamers Has they steady course He shows no remorse Though the symptoms of his agony Radiate and reinforce How time is short And its only just a matter now Before they reach the shore Who would have guessed Such a bloody mess Would inflict an age of misery Only to be carried out upon A burdened chest Everythings a test A twist of more or less In every other breath There is no captain now There was no captain then There is only fear upon suspense Hoping it all makes sense Broken ties and lies Are nothing to be followed short Pull your self away If you feel that you are not the sort Nobody hears a thought When it remains in mind No body sees the truth When your aiming blind Well then men Under the clothing of beasts We will never retreat I will Tie em up in nooses Drag em to the gallows Stealers of the light That protect us from the shadows Oh, men... We never knew any better Blame it on the weather Label it forever When we reach the sky Fly, high until they spell Surrender No leader is he Only another contender In a clash of swords Of liquid form A waterfall of battle Leads the blood to sea As it erodes The pearly shores In the Captains Quarters Frustration grows intensely Lost Boys surrounding All his borders He must rid the boy himself Right-handed for the slaughter Grabs a pistol off the shelf Dagger in his belt He knows the boy is here His presence can be felt He draws his blade Kicks the door Eye meets eye Their faces melt Well equipped with equal skill They bent blades Around the wheel The Croc below Patiently awaiting To finish off His meal Given the circumstance He may just get his chance The Captain sees the beast And slips at first glance Hanging by a hook The boy stands over top He contemplates Weather he should help him up Or help him drop He looks into his eyes He knows where he should stop He hears a scream Then hears a splash Silenced by the Croc

Tragic was his course   Ridden on a golden horse   Sooner beaten down then praised Left to defend his ways    Right through the days    Unfit, unreal, serpentine   Leave the poor bastard   For what its worth What’s his is his    What’s mine is mine    Wanna write em out   Ya'll wanna blow that line?      Caught   In a web full a shit    Feel the grit   And the taste of the drip    Scratching away, day by day   Feeling every moment as another replay Losing precious focus    On hopeless ways to cope with    The issues in your life    Good reason to do dope kid   Well equipped with excuses    Leaving open loose ends   Running through the fray    Unaware of the date  In the dwellings of a nu sense    Lying where the truth bends   Is anyone a true friend?     One that builds you up    Not the kind that bring you down    Drag you round  To be their clown      Better lace ya boots   Tighten up and shoot Now a days tourniquets   Double as noose    Still no use for bent n burnt spoons   But there’s room for weed and mushrooms    Watch em all zoom, hear em all click   Every second is a thought of a thought   Off a wall made a brick  Feel time tick   As it warps n it slips    And reality sits   Tragic was his course   Ridden on a golden horse   Sooner beaten down then praised Left to defend his ways    Right through the days    Unfit, unreal, serpentine   Leave the poor bastard   For what its worth What’s his is his    What’s mine is mine    Wanna write em out   Ya'll wanna blow that line?      Caught   In a web full a shit    Feel the grit   And the taste of the drip    Scratching away, day by day   Feeling every moment as another replay Losing precious focus    On hopeless ways to cope with    The issues in your life    Good reason to do dope kid   Me? I don't know shit I just throw fits And I flow bits And pieces of my life Scattered on track Tell it how it is Tell it how we live Caught up in the mix Mind clicking for a fix This is for the kids Who have gone through More hell than most Still they man And stand their post Play it far Play it close Commemorate every broken dose Hope for hope No rope for dope Fuck them cats All blowing smoke They set to choke You go for broke Developing your skill Nothings free, they steal, and time kills (Go) Diverting rapids Diminish causes Drowning sequence Avert with caution Dance with the skeletons In your closet Trip the light For the dark is flawless Grip tight At night (take a walk) The park is lawless It might Be fight (not talk) But you know all this Inverted passion Embellished clauses Crowning demons The alert is offence Tranced with benevolence in your off-set Caught up late inside the darkness Grip tight At night (take a walk) The park is lawless It might Be fight (not talk) But you know all this You know all this Hurt for the work Work through hurt Which ones going to catch flame first?
3.	People Aren't Calling Cards 03:30	lyrics	buy track
Hurry up kids! Cause it’s all rage! When you’re engulfed in a conformist coma-like stage Not thinking for your self is the dance at a rave Brain-washed dumb with a tidal wave A tidal wave of thoughts like a gun pressed to your head Try to escape conviction and you’re better left for dead A taste so stale, it’s bitter yet sweet Got nothing but call backs in the back seat…….. Approaching forty five while cruising down the street Flippin off the ignorant to rhythm of my beat Breaking all the boundaries while breaking in my sheets Get your mind out the gutter I’m just talking about sleep Sleep, yeah right! That’ll be the night Bundled up tight mentally having to fight Fighting off the gremlins that embrace me in my dreams Clawing at my retina’s, and tearing all the seams Itching and scratching at the thoughts that abrupt My mind’s a volcano serotonin will erupt Over playful melodies compute and make a stamp Leaving individual markings on my imaginary staff Releasing all the hounds, while starting up the flames Cold blooded killer playing funny games Teaching you a lesson because you can’t teach yourself Should have never put the paper back, back upon shelf! Take a deep breath and retain the flow Keep the beat steady, alright nice and slow Slowing down the increments, slowing down the verse Showing all the fallacy that’s foreshadowed in a curse Writing all the logic behind every profound word Reading between the lines and dissecting every term Ranting like a poet but, no meanings ever said Logical, hypnotic now there’s playing in your head Get the record straight so there’s something to break Fastest to catch on will have made a mistake The mistake of self confliction, addiction, and conviction Cooking up these words, setting fire in the kitchen Watch the smoke rising as it replaces the air Ominous and frightening clouds signal despair Filling up your lungs fumes staining them black Feel the heat of the flames scorching at your back Talk your self down you won’t feel the pain You’re talking to yourself; does this mean you’re insane? Does it mean you’ve lost track? Does it mean you’ve lost time? Maybe you’re setting fire to the tragic, the tragic being your mind
4.	Lo & Behold 03:14	lyrics	buy track
My how it flies Hides us and divides It wasn't all What we imagined in our minds 16 with time and cellophane secrets Back against the wall, always on the defense At 18 Plunged into the deep ends Miserable weeks Lost into the weekends 19 came Music started speaking My mind charted peaking Drop out of class In belief of my own reasoning Turned 21 Numb to the core And fucking dumb Squeezing through the actions Out came volume one I recognize mistakes I felt the failed breaks Lo and behold I break myself to dust Over what it takes You can tell me now No need to wait for then This is where my mind is, no matter where I'm functioning I can not let it go, like when I'm missing home Four hearts surround this isolated tone Enough of the dark clouds and rain Settled away in my brain That storm that takes me to place Where no body, no body knows my face Some days are tired and lost Misshaped misguided set off With fit steps of aggression Love is in the lesson No need to ever question Hit a lower bottom Make a higher top Does it ever stop? You got control or do you not? Curb your fury for the drop Relentless Maneuvering Restless Moods to swing Wash it all away For the moon to bring Apologies to light When anger cripples sight Sometimes it ain't all right But good enough stand n fight Take your own advice Remember how the story's told Bring on the heat When life, (life) , is gettin cold This microphones an amulet Dominate not prominent First and last witness Of Lo-Fi accomplishment Self-medicated Not jaded Or out of patients Frustrated at times With what I'm facing Yo! Pick up the pace kid Nerves bend Words send Tie up them loose ends Never won to stab backs Or commit with any new trends Find me here on a path Close friends A dog and two cats Her endless love And an iron fist with a mic in its grasp Whooping my ass Forging the shape Of my beating chest Looking to pass Afford an escape Wish us all the best Wouldn't it be great To float away Disappear Instead of wallowing The hollow days To sit in fear Out of the box Made of glass Watch it take new shape (Day) Routed to clocks Paid in cash Night derives true fate Wouldn't it be great To float away Disappear Instead of wallowing The hollow days To sit in fear
5.	When the Heart Unfolds 03:36	lyrics	buy track
Find this or don't Hidden in a dark place Manipulated madness That draws blank on the card face Boy, this is our race Eye sore's from the poor taste Scratching my head At what makes all of these whores shake I should really care less I am never impressed Conflicting ideals Make me depressed Art to pop culture Pop to shock vultures What happened to the man with broad shoulders? It ain't over Like the struggle of staying sober Keep wishing and bitching I think you're getting closer Closer to what? Closer to God. Now hit that Blow it out Kick back And then nod Ah Trust me I'm not one to endorse I am just one To hit with blunt force Steady my course Provoke the support Switching up priorities Yo, fuck coming short Its hard to judge the time we live When everything is take and give Always been a patient kid Not one to go and say some shit Not out of place or out of phase Zoning in my mental state That realness will elevate That realness will elevate Sitting high chillin Ripely eyed villain With no plot for doomsday Or need for the millions Only care if his hairs raise Out of his skin A dirty old reflection Of the outside looking in Sidewinder missile grin Yo, watch what you pissing in Sonic boom goes clap And now I'm lost in the dissonance Among the beauty marks of modern art Can I call it that? Maybe I'm not so smart   Stay away from me, Solitude required vacancy Blessed with everything else But complacency I pick up vibes So make sure you are blatantly Honest with yourself No need to hate on me I got it covered Distraught is this mother fucker With a side of compassion To spread it on like butter Eat it up When the heart unfolds in heart attacks I'll be eaten the bread crumbs To follow back We continue growing ruthless Neglecting where the youth is We feel change inside But render effort useless Still lying where the truth bends Off the deep, or no ends Silent earth sleeps While the people wake slow trends Its hard to judge the time we live When everything is take and give Always been a patient kid Not one to go and say some shit Not out of place or out of phase Zoning in my mental state That realness will elevate That realness will elevate
6.	Calm Before 03:36	lyrics	buy track
Hopeless in hard times Make beats Bar rhymes It all seemed so simple as teen With starred eyes Naive Out tuned Re-bloomed An out view But in the corner lingers anger And every wretched thought to out you Damn, how unfortunate The energy spent Being miserable That could be used to make this pure cement Watch it drop like so Get yourself up with ya soul Why are you holding back You know she's on the way So let it go . Let it go Blow it cold Working pays Writing grows Job gets old It gets told Through the madness as a whole I won't fold I will mold Be an example Like a sample through the trample And forever flicker As the ever burning candle Stick me on your mantle Yes I am hard to handle For the one's that do I salute you through n through Thanks for your support I appreciate the glue For keeping me together When I didn't have a clue Who are you? Who are you? Who am I? Who am I? Who are we? Who are we? Who are they? Are we alive? These are simple questions That have the hardest answers I'm an MC, dad to be, a head case, and a bastard You are who you choose to be We are all fucked up They are who we choose for us They're is poison in our lungs Breathe it in, now breathe it out Can this be undone? Kick and punch Scream and shout Kiss the sky Reach for the sun Grab your gun Read your psalm On your knees with each one in your palms Calling out the calm The calm before the drop of bombs Everyone I know is poor But rich in ways that they know not Who am I to open doors All I do is talk a lot All I do is smoke this pot Sit around and watch the clock Depressing myself further into another awkward spot Love me so or love me not Love can never be forgot Remember it as always Cause all this hatred really has to stop Calm before the waves Before the storm erodes away the sands Calm before the mic With a pounding heart and shaky hands Calm before you closed your eyes Opened them and made a stand Realized its you, who owns up to it to be a man Calm before the days We learned, we're due to raise our own Calm before the strange Tones that spoke right to my soul Calm before the patients Ignorance and the basics Speak for yourself Get up, go on, face it
7.	Spacemandude - A Galactic Tale 03:16	lyrics	buy track
Catch him On the edge of space With a laser gun And a face to chase Light speed travel Galactic battles He know a few cages Gotta make em rattle Earth is of course the base A yo-yo planet all up in ya face Hop in the ship Not seen for days Secret Santa Service Give em gifts to play Hey! Space-man-dude I dig your style So I won't be rude We ain't so different You and I I just wanna a bigger piece of this here pie No you want it all The streets, people, and dreams Scaly green bastard know as Supreme Cream Deserves nothing more than a head shot laser beam Yeah, right in between Galactic fusion rolled with blunt pass movement Leave us with the stars in clear cut confusion A delusion of myself in the milky way cruisin' Raps in my mouth blasting voids full of music While the planets are stoned I carry on, on my own Maneuver my lunar hopes of a home Cause back down there is a world of drones They didn't know any better so I leave em alone They didn't know any better so I (Bring that shit back) Back To a galactic tale Astronaut vigilante Who ain't made to fail He rock a blue suit Solo no troop Mic grenades stocked When he blow up your roof An infiltrates defense A tyrant for years Supreme Cream's tense Install em with fear His fist hits the veneer Dude kicks the door Licks a shot in the air Listen Cream This all ends now No love for the people That make it go round Sick of the works Sick of the fits Enough is enough Your system is fixed Only to please and serve your kind And leave everybody else behind They both drew guns They both took aim Neither one was waiting for the reign Galactic fusion rolled with blunt pass movement Leave us with the stars in clear cut confusion A delusion of myself in the milky way cruisin' Raps in my mouth blasting voids full of music While the planets are stoned I carry on, on my own Maneuver my lunar hopes of a home Cause back down there is a world of drones They didn't know any better so I leave em alone They didn't know any better Spacemandude... Dodged a shot to the right Then a shot to the left Pulled on the trigger On every short breath Supreme Cream fixed On his enemies death Laser beam holes Every where What a mess Cruise ships blast one another to pieces Missile launch towards Earth counts down in sequence On the defense, the deepest of ends Colors and sounds killed the suspense Boom. A mic grenade Creates a black hole Cream is blown away Into the dark Troops funneling down Dude escapes as he hears the sound Of it all explode And all that floats is a dusty road Left behind To expose his past If give you the time With a blunt to pass He'll give you his mind You don't have to ask He's hyper-fast Cloak on the shuttle You won't watch it crash If you're ever in trouble He will save your ass If you're ever in trouble He will save your ass
8.	Who Turned Out the Light 02:53	lyrics	buy track
Dirt approach Burnt to a crisp I'm a smoldered roach Sitting in your ash tray Blown away Now hold your smoke Hollow hope Offers comfort Your anxious mind provokes Violent sulking Skull piece Murder clocks with No hope Create, sustain, elevate Hard to demonstrate Either you eat, starve Or end up on the dinner plate Don't linger where the winners are I ignore the one's in charge I could careless how high You think you set the bar Aggression is my middle name Call me Ed when I'm to blame Is he dead? It's all the same I'll find him, when I break the chain Practiced focus Brings the art to life Looking for myself Asking Who turned out the light? Who turned out the light? I did but I'm over it Put it out in the openness For any other human Falling hard on their hopelessness Own that bitch Don't over wish Dramatically romantic fish Get up Taste the salt water When the oceans kiss Everyone is hard to please Personalities are cheap Bought and smoked up like weed I couldn't tell you what I need Defiant silence I need to find Exactly where my mind is Trust it. Or don't. Holding your own ain't easy Nothing that's worth it is Now that's believing Another moment of silence I'll take em as they come Then close both of my My eye lids (Your God) Only to wake up To a life time short of paradise To a comfort more ensuring Where innovation's in every sight A heavy light Beams and Exceeds Its weight upon my chest Thank God if you're listening For giving me this test Contradictions are fowl Far from an owl No wisdom in the wings I sought So I rock a cape and a cowl Choosing the powers to be Till wings are given to me We give each other happiness So give it Open me, this home mc Take me to the broken things I believe these folks still sing That the trumpets blare and the bells all ring I got my mind full Of shit that probably shouldn't matter Hence the hesitation to even step upon the ladder After all of this time With all I've felt and gathered Among the styles of rhymes, lines, echoes, chatter Light pours from the deceitful to divine You can clap it out or you can let it shine
9.	Say Grace 02:42	lyrics	buy track
Hold up I've just begun Learned it all while having fun Didn't set myself to impress no one Songs about a broken son Produce my beats Use my tongue Sound out flows Write out Its crunch Check the time Then make some lunch Wash it all down An spit that punch Then have it come back Right in my face No matter the track Speaking in pace As I gather the facts Not running in place Or moving to fast Setting up home Where the music will blast Where my passion will grasp And no matter what I do I promise You will never be last Don't you worry about thing You fall asleep here, as I sing As I extend my words and reach Guide you in my arms and keep You safely off the ground And calmly in the air Say Grace Your name came in a dream It struck our hearts To complete the beat Changed the way Your father walks And the pace he moves his feet Don't worry about the streets You can play down in the grass We can't wait to trick or treat Read you books, and hear you laugh You can watch your mother paint You can hear your father play We will be there everyday To help you find you on your way Our hearts are always here to stay Our love will never stray No matter where we are in space My Ramona Grace Don't you worry about thing You fall asleep here, as I sing As I extend my words and reach Guide you in my arms and keep You safely off the ground And calmly in the air Say Grace

about

This album was originally released on July 12, 2016. It was the first album I attempted to create and release. Before I released Colors & Sounds I had released 8 original songs split into two 4 song volumes. Colors & Sounds Volume 1 & 2 were my first experiments as far as producing my own beats, writing and recording my rhyming and when I first started learning about mixing and mastering production.I was very new and excited about making music I had no control of my emotions and little understanding about how to make a great record. But I kept pushing through and I continue to do so. Forever learning as a student and a guest in the world of rap.
