Pay no attention That’s a promised start Always one to check your heart Keep digging in them pockets For your truth An honest art This is something smooth No pity, no accomplishment Drowned below your sorrows Flash flooding Counterfeited confidence Right at the drop of this I feel life I’m on top of it The kind of buzzing in your body That makes you wanna drop some shit Flow with toxic spit Leave you in some kind of fit You think you’re fighting But you’re lying Start trying I don’t need YOU To believe in this Oh he’s in working bliss For once he isn’t pissed Holds himself together Calls it a perfect day When the weather fits Check the mental status Growing vines on an endless lattice Climbing to infinity and beyond Of an outreached planet I say whatever the fuck I want And it’s gotten me in trouble A couple of times I’m dumb Happy as I’ve ever been From time to time I contemplate And rewind But it’s too late Brush it off with toothpaste Bleach my past Burn the forest You know I hate when you ask How I know what I know Because I know what I know If I was proud of my shit That story would have been told (Oh) How to console That gut wrenched With loose bolts With red ears And a snot nose That glock pulled To temple But guess what That guns yours When that cringe hits so hard There’s no doubt Almost rather take The cowards way… Call me when the night is done Stick the knife don’t bite the gun Brain inflates, ego dies Born again, begin to trust For the first time in long rhyme That crate’s full and it’s all mine That small mind got big thoughts That boom bap shit’s all talk That true rap from all walks Cold days and long halls Hallways of scensters With bleached hair and ripped jeans Bitch please Your clipped wings Don’t mean more than cheap earrings Your self-worth is weird here I rolled out, I steer clear So call me when the night is done Survival stars above the sun Stick the knife don’t bite the gun Life for one or sum of none Brain inflates, give it space Ego dies, give it time Born again, warn a friend Begin to trust, let it end Let it end, let it end, LET IT END Call me when the night is done Stick the knife don’t bite the gun Brain inflates, ego dies Born again, begin to trust Call me when the night is done Stick the knife don’t bite the gun Brain inflates, ego dies Born again, begin to trust Let it End Begin to Trust Let it End Begin to Trust Right?

Coral Reef 02:19
Work me Work me, Work me? Work me All over again Again? Again Am I worthy? Worthy? Worthy Of being your friend Your friend? Your friend You know I wanna make it through Till we make it to the end Like when the sky turns red From what the lunatic said Get up outta bed, get ya belly fed Stay outta enemy lines (Nah) Don’t let em play in your head Don’t let em play in your head Little Sis said Mind of divine Watch on the grind Physical issues got em all Falling behind Work me (Yeah) Am I Worthy? Breathe me Release me out through a coral reef Lie to me through moral speech I’m knotted wood On your secret beach I knew all along When I made this beat That sand filled lies Lied at my feet Such selfish defense Your weapon Is the Light of my Eye Such tasteless endeavor Plucked from the vine Hopelessly hoping An ocean of potions Mixtures of rushing Confusion of homeland Was constantly broken Conducted is noted Your motions No longer Ripple my ocean Now I’m constantly focused No need to provoke it (Your motions)(YOUR MOTIONS) Your motions No longer Ripple my ocean Work Me

Daisies 02:44
Listen I don't know What kind of daisy land You're skippin in On the search for peace With little to no witnesses Business is as follows My compensation smothering Adaptive animalistic Altruistic struggling Keep mumbling One can only hope Your ears mature Instead of clinging To the road Like an old dead flock of birds Let you dry up Appreciate the burning sun When your ass is tossed in flames For concerning everyone In a bad way like What's the future for these kids? And all these harder questions Got you acting like a bitch Your signals are dismissed Though I wanna hear everything Even five seconds in presence Of all these petty thieves You ain't cloaking dreams Or puncturing these kidney beans Don't know what it means Then ask your kids To feed you these Immune to bull shit Cause all I did was fuckin sneeze now I got myself clear So back up Give me some room to breathe Oh, I do believe That all of this is just a scheme Take money out your pockets And soak up all of your energy Make you jump around Make you feel you own the ground When they stop through With that nonsense Acting so pleased and proud Nah wait, nah, nah I don't know them Nah wait, nah, nah I don't know them Oh hey, hey are you an old friend? Okay... Well then let's go in Nah wait, nah, nah I don't know them Nah son, I don't know them Oh hey, are you an old friend? Okay... Well then let's go in (Let's go) Been living in these moments Where I can feel that I am human Or maybe just the opposite Where wisdom Defines the movement Move it! Fuck the nasty things you're doing Born a mad man Now it's all about The self improvement Where they shootin? Don't you know this heart Is bullet proof Didn't come up with the concept For ever learning Through spoken truth Snaggle tooth Hanging on a thin thread Let's commence the bleeding And send some pain To your dull head Now that I'm fed And my dog Just got his belly rubbed I'ma put this twenty In the bank And skip out When you smoke that dub Heard the liars preach They're missing All their dignity I remember everything So how you gonna kid on me? Better fix your face I told the mirror yesterday When I saw the man inside Was involved With shitty guessing games Get that knowledge back Give those brains a tap I'm talking bigger picture With the smaller sections Still intact Nah wait, nah, nah I don't know them Nah wait, nah, nah I don't know them Oh hey, hey are you an old friend? Okay... Well then let's go in Nah wait, nah, nah I don't know them Nah son, I don't know them Oh hey, are you an old friend? Okay... Well then let's....

Searching 03:07
*All I know is that I’m searching for it* *Peace! PEACE! PEACE!* *That’s what I’m looking for…Peace* My worlds disbelief Call the police Oh no, no you don’t Watch for the grief Hold down on your own That’s a relief Get up on your code Smashing their teeth They all fuck around Lie to yourself No ears to the ground Vibes to be felt They can’t handle blame Not a surprise Everybody’s game Is played on the side Brief me in as I’m stumblin’ Probably kinda mumblin’ Getting my shit together In a back pack Before I’m shuttlin’ Between four different dimensions Let me find my place Aimin’ for the top Is how I stay with Grace Waste No effort describing me As what you think I am I’m attitudes and colors You’ll never mold Mix by hand Questioning souls On the edge of a beach Paint these stories on my shell Find me deep in the sea PEACE! Now what’s that gunna take All of me now We all make mistakes Callin’ me out Damage no control Workin’ me in Add this to the toll Coat me in sin Wash her little hands Holding my heart Riddle these demands Right from the start Won’t watch me slip away Hide in the dark Rip right through the days Walk in the park No time to ponder Ill actions of satisfaction You’re rubber in the snow Gripping for life Gripping for traction The Tiger is backed in Claws on the backspin But tearing you to shreds Won’t dignify all the madness It’s sad kid the powers They try to tap in Convinced they see it all But don’t know How to work their magic Pockets and sleeves sag From use of dirty tricks Get them licks And see if anyone still gives a shit Come on.. *Shit’s just gone kinda fuckin wrong* *I mean, what can I say* *These things fuckin happen* *Peace that’s what I’m looking for* *I’m just looking for peace* Come on… Let’s all take some time To catch our breath Exhale our pollutants While we’re chasing our debts Denomination of death Our common tie in the end Either a whole or mix We’re all fractions my friend How do you spend? Every number on the face of the clock Are you divide even further? How is life on the rock? Inside a constant rotation Spin my circular hell There’s a needle in the groove With a story to tell Drop my coins in a well They got wishes to sell Girl, creep into my dreams In my cosmos you dwell Testing my heart and my pulse Like never before Keeping track of the miles Through the words and the score What’s it all for?! I can’t validate wealth And I’m not really sure That this is good for my health Take what I’m dealt Tighten my shoes, tighten my belt Walk through the door Towards the sun Now let’s melt I’m felt

Got You 03:12
Better look both ways when you cross this street Four lane highway Everything full speed Sideways slider In the mind of the driver When he fish tails turns And the thoughts are all fire Never been one for the race Never been summed As a dog in the chase Can't even really say That it feels misplaced Like the spots of a panther Hidden right in front of your face Getting better Shedding letters Piecing symphonies together Full cooperation Woven trust in every measure No opportunity to brag Or dismantle a peasants Membership Well equipped With a tedious hierarchy of penmanship Ah shit When the heart beat skips Cause the magic still lives And it gives A shiny new perspective Who whispers Follow on in Now Come and get it Come and get it Go and set it Let these mother fuckers Dread it Know they always point The finger At truth And one who said it How it is All so strange Like a wave of mirage Through the film Of the day I’m carried away By a misshaped pile Of art on the wall Bigger they are Harder they fall Moment to stall Reflect on it all You better stand on up Get involved and evolve You better look both ways You gotta look both ways You better look both ways You know, you know You gotta…look What damn strange time Can we change this vibe? Not dead or asleep But woke and alive Take a poke at the fire Nah let it burn out Put your lips to the flame Now you got a hurt mouth What's all that about? Don't get lost in the trends Or certified doubt Keep track of your ends In every which route Start deep from within Then turn the shit out Set a trail a blaze Let positivity reign Contribute with affection Don't simply complain Expecting a change Demanding all attention Why we all so tense? Can we make some sense? Said why we all so tense? For real…where’s my breaker? One Count nothing but love Too true When shove comes to shove Three eyes Are shown through a dream While four other senses Dispute what it means One Count nothing but love Too true When shove comes to shove Three eyes Are shown through a dream While four other senses Dispute what it means I don’t need your Bad air surrounding my head We all deserve some respect No need to tell you correct? Anxious little settlers Unaware of predators Fidgeting hoarding Self-absorbed copies Every person lies When they say They’re nobody Everybody got a name If not Well that’s shocking…. Plug into my current Come on keep rockin’ Fear isn’t sold here Keep money in your pockets Invest in your rights When corruption is topless Aim high dead all of the nonsense In the midst when you drop this One tiny bit the kid hopes to accomplish Cause there is nothing more lavish Than making pure progress I don’t believe I can stop this (Nah) I don’t believe I can stop this Not a chance I don’t believe I can stop this You can’t either I don’t believe I can stop this You can try I don’t believe I can stop this Stop I don’t believe I can Stop

Feel it coming through This ain’t news to you Watch it shake the trees And see what natural force’ll do to you Better be aware I’ve been looking for some peace And every single time It’s been right within my reach I won’t preach But don’t you dare Mistake this for a lecture The space bridge leads To my own private sector No need for extra I’ve been pulling my own stunts Right under the nose Of all you minuscule runts He don’t bow out To your lose end trends Chose no friends Over fake fuck heads Speak that shit Eat up cake Spit a tall tale heart Till the floor boards break That boy Devoted to the action No longer demoting Any inner satisfaction Rapping through nights Then a four rest Up with the sun For the 8 hour shift Raising my girl Through the fog and the mist Then it’s back to the keys To the mic and the mix That bass is giant This voice defiant Cool it out, think it through Where’s the mother fuckin riot? Everybody! Do that thang! I don’t wanna talk I’ma take a walk Subtle through a patch of grass Silent when the Lion stalk Roll through desert heat Over snow and over sleet Bring a storm of violent ocean While Neptune keeps An eye on me All about the tone Fuck an iron throne With an island full of monsters Call for help and get the dial tone What a wild home We’re peons Where the vile roam With homeostasis low The cap has vanished off the Bio-Dome Don’t settle me in for that bootlegged shit Wanna nestle in with a primal grip No idle pit, no wires tripped Not blowing my mind When the lies are thick Clear the disruption Of my honest over thinking Till the subjects of these matters No longer breathe a meaning Nothing’s freeing When we’re fleeing Can’t question a human being When the cracks become revealing And elephants hit the ceiling I gotta say a fuckin’ word You know this place is a zoo Where the keepers got guns And they’re pointed at you Pointed at you And they’re pointed at me too *So, what is Peace?* *Peace?* *Yeah* *When I lay down and go to sleep and I don’t have to worry about douche bags* No hesitation of presence Keep it calm and collective Ever changing reality Balance my breath and the message Natural view in perspective No misdirection in steppin’ Keep it straight on the pavement boy We’re surrounded by weapons Feel that old breeze Chill your bones And then knock your knees Got the precision and the will Ain’t no body Front on me Spin it clean Knock your precious hope Off axis Smashin’ brackets through the passion With the ropes and the madness You little bastards Need attachments To every tragedy schemed Another new nightmare Through my Caspian dream Don’t really show what it mean So surreal, serene I’m puzzled through and through the structure In my infinite being They know honor Like an iguana know a school of piranha When they get ya, they got ya But there’s a shark in the water Ocean blue of a monster Razor sharp with the mantra If you hear the phone ring Chief Brody’s calling your Mama Oh, oh he got ya… (Ah Yeah) Oh, oh, he got ya Now don’t be fuckin with the essence

Pieces 03:00
I’m searching for peace here We all want to be there Oh, I know you do Stop me if I’m lying Always been one to seekk truth Responsibly owning actions Don’t. The proof will reach you Taking my damn time I ain’t fleeing when bad vibes All float around Middle eye of chaos Punched me up and down with riddles Kinda tickles, let it trickle Keep coming up By the fistfuls… (Yeah) (Yeah) Punching this damn clock When will it all stop And blow away No need for your concern I’m not wishing for an apocalypse But while disaster strikes I’ma take a cloud And then rock this shit No curses at her name I was a damn shame But I know I’ve learned All I got is love While channelin’ these emotions So do not be afraid When you’re swimmin’ Do not be afraid When you’re swimming In my ocean Ocean, ocean, ocean Oh, shit… No one’s gunna show me How to rock a vibe Or say a piece We can learn from our mistakes All I have is my belief That love can cure an aching tum An ego’s death Resupply oxygen to your chest And be your breath It won’t forget Call you names Or shoulder blame It will always have a purpose Love will never show no shame And love will never show no shame (Come on, Come on, Come on, Come on) No one’s gunna show me How to rock a vibe Or say a piece We can learn from our mistakes All I have is my belief That love can cure an aching tum An ego’s death Resupply oxygen to your chest And be your breath It won’t forget Call you names Or shoulder blame It will always have a purpose Love will never show no shame And love will never show no shame

*Okay, here we go…* Beat feels frosty Chilly like an old tomb Four feet of snow Surround the hopes and the virtue Curfews Pull away time From a watch I don’t own Two damaging ends Left alone with the tone Home and it’s missing Since the second collective Painting soundscapes Inspired by the wired perspectives Of mixed hidden citizen Among snakes in the midst He embrace darkness Then slit it quick at the wrist Don’t let it slip Detrimental and toxic How you gunna come at me? Nothing changes blood Not money Or your hypocrisy How you gunna damage a light that’s brighter than you? Take advantage and fight While you manage the feud I wrote this Out in the cold In snow covered roads With a heart full of hope For the warmth of a home Though I wasn’t alone My heart was coated a froze Till my soul heated the ground And I was graced with a rose (Now hold your pose) What a shot through a void They stir impeccable pain I didn’t wanna see it coming But got stuck in the rain They policing my brain Now why the causing a strain It’s appalling how they act When they learn it’s no game DON’T EVER strip me of MY LOVE There’s no denial in the pedigree Cautious of the actions That divide us from the giving tree Live and breathe That’s all I wanted from a start And to never let ‘em touch it If they don’t know their heart I’m not mad at ya’ll What is anger? It’s a danger to my being And turns your close friend To a stranger Truth brazes calmly Between the cheekbones of faces A taunting, a glimpse, a chamber of secrets Peep in, though it’s probably dark in the deep end Play these rhythms under water and drown me in sequence Sequence? Keep my heart beat for the collective Drop your weapons Step away and then exit Find me mining Business is unwinding Seven and a switch blade Is the happiness I’m finding Satisfy my hunger Take this war up out my mind peace What we’re finding Is something they’re denying Paint in colors of the truth Even when they’re lying Live and live on When you feel like you’re dying It’s all a motion of circumstance A sector of soul A price upon the market No control is control I don’t know shit And I don’t even keep it that way There’s an ever learning curve As it bends through the plane Somewhere deep in my range And through the motions of pain I learned to appreciate the sun Just as much as the rain THEY think I’m fuckin insane I’m just more focused these days THEY purely VILE in ways And I don’t like when it’s strange Who would have thought I’d be objected to the subject of change THEY wanna throw dirt Right on the chain in her name Allowed to reinvent Super flex the circumstance Let’s do this dance On the edge of space in an hour glass Come on… Where’s the option of peace? Know the theme Look ahead, both ways in the streets Move along now There’s no bomb in the chest Just the rhythm of a man Who comes correct on the set Come on…. Where’s the option of peace? Know the theme Look ahead, both ways in the streets Move along now There’s no bomb in the chest Just the rhythm of a man Who comes correct on the set (Come on) Just the rhythm of a man Who comes correct on the set

Gems 03:04
Cap it cold Dim thoughts carry no heat Serpent speak quick But leave tracks with no feet Forked tongue smile Spitting venomous approach Couldn't get him by the throat Couldn't get him in his home Not afraid to stand in fire And be the arrow in your boat Float It's so salty when you drown And dirty at the top When the capsule flipped around And you find out that you can't Bury seconds in the ground Found Maybe just a little bit of peace And when you think you do It's interrupted by police The sniveling kind of thief Who accuse you and cause you grief And Claim that they protect But really they're just the beast Feast Right on my four knuckle words And when the grid snaps off You are dead for the birds No need to spell a sound Or a court ordered word No need to sell it out You were bought and were burned Learn Just a little something from the passion See it in your eyes Past the point of asking They're always gunna test Check you're properly equipped Never one to rest When priorities are thick Learn Just a little something from the magic The sequencing gems that I find in my traveling Baffling Every high low Every low high Never know where Never ever ever know why I don't wanna run Standing here in front of guns If they'd all turn their fingers They'd understand the sum of one Under em Pulling dirty weight Cumbersome Poking at the fat that sits inside your cummerbund Just for fun And I'm making sure that you're still intact See a lot strays And their instincts say to kill a rat Simple fact Desperation Allegations Patience Never thought you would try to ruin reputations What a fool Feeling sorry and old school Spent the summer Holding toxins To emerge as a toad stool Old fumes blew away and I grew And we all have a hard time accepting the truth Proof Learn Just a little something from the passion See it in your eyes Past the point of asking They're always gunna test Check you're properly equipped Never one to rest When priorities are thick Learn just a little something from the magic The sequencing gems that I find in my traveling Baffling Every high low Every low high Never know where Never ever, ever know why And what is peace right? And what is yeah…

HQ 03:34
Extraterrestrial In existential crisis Phoning home with instrumentals Using lightening to write with Move on the righteous Rhyme in a room Work on my blues Answers are drawn for tangible use Mandibles proof Handle the truth Lacing these words Get ripped By the roots I got my quarters drawn Envisioning the mission gone But what the fuck could go so wrong Life's a dirty mirror Make it clearer Step or step out Acknowledge your mouth Recognize fear Recognize doubt Out Of my fuckin mind a bit They burn it down I watch it grow And live inside of it No questioning where the pirate Lives and when he shows his face I'll take his head and sink his ship Then set my course for space And I'm just looking for HQ There he goes again Open with a broken pen Just let him get through it All he knows Is music and the work spent Yeah I can breathe it in sequence All my pieces in Be a father to my daughter No matter who disrupts The peace I'm in Those fuckin cowards tried They can try a thousand times And I'll still look em in their eyes As I remain right by her side Don't give me your grief Or your police I wanna ease Every soul who lacks direction Being hunted by the beast Thank your friends Keep your love Silver linings shine above Fuck the middle When the pushing Turns into a violent shove Speaking to myself Time to move on from the run Done with looking back No longer staring at the sun Blind in all my rage Burning every numbered page But now I'm scoping out my focus Humbled by the actions saved All in silent breath Until the words erupt my chest When all is said and done Only then will I consider rest And I'm just looking for HQ Is it the actions the people or the places who make you?
