Revolution is knocking, resolution is knowledge,
Get your hand out my pocket, NO WEAPON MADE CAN CONQUER my inner pain, that started my evolution of rhyming, persecuted indicted they instituted the violence that started my Defiance, give no respect or reliance, LESS MEN GET RICH THAN ONES WHO DIE TRYING, less making commitments dollars have no bias, show you how to move in a den full of lions, if the dinner ain't cooking you got to know where to find it, even if you paint pretty you can't change the climate in my inner Sanctum, my hard work is thankless bold print the statement, I can show you something that's suited for all ages, back when I used to hide the heist in crawl spaces, all for the cause to blank slate your faces, from the sentence to cemetery real-life visionary, not preliminary, my kingdom is ruled by Vikings, why we can't have nice things, when that hunger Rings watch how they resort to biting, why I look crookedly took from me everything, off the rope and out the tree to WASHINGTON BOOKER T., watch the way you talk to me because I speak awfully, even when mocking me you got to do it awkwardly, often dark thoughts speak giving me these allergies when I sneeze WHOSE GONNA BLESS ME, counted one blessing and then it got depressing, not down to get seen with your team stop suggesting we, make it our business to see and remain different same day different dark feeling black state of living, counterfeits keep trying to hack my religion, EVERY NIGHT I PRAY LET ALL BUT THE WACK BE FORGIVEN, aye my igna you're nobody til they make a wax figure, rap cinema, call the minister what I administer is Sinister, PIVOTAL PITIFUL CRIMINAL LYRICAL PRISONER, remember the signature when I deliver the finisher, born and risen with Menace miniatures, dropped dead center in this sinners dilemma, don't make fun of the surface they just ain't used to the tremors, why I keeping this sweet life my pocket of bitters, makes my air a bit thinner IM WHAT REMAINS ON THE FILTER, you should be more considerate pay your anguish of visit, RAIDED THE VILLAGE JUST TO MAKE THE PLACE MORE MILITANT, painted a image and I DON'T GIVE A BRAILLE WHO FEELING IT, mail the sentiment why I'm out breaking my ligaments, snatching your blocks citizens filling them with degenerates.

Honest Living
03:22
|

Open up in love with the sound they love when I'm down they love when I drown/ Open up in love with the sound they love when I drown/
Float around town till the engine light flick/ as I throw around sounds tryina to satisfy the itch/ got that Southern Sound walk with a talk with a limp/ I don't go above ground cuz I know they would evict.
I don't wear crown cuz my rule too strict/ nother man down so I moved to the sticks/ just a year past I would never leave the zip/ man I feel so much older that I swear that I forget
Now you know I love to get all they attentionnn/ but you know I love to say get out my biiiiiness,,,,,,,/ did a feature and got right up off the benches/ all my life I been a leader but just not in this dimension/ for a keeper I can keep you in suspension/ striding on my way to freedom and I haven't made it inches/ landed on my feet and went to mix it with my kindred/ trying to get relief you know I'm not the one that's Lendin/ only time I spend is trying to figure how u made it to the ending.
I got a lot of feelings/ won't catch me politicking/no time the clock is ticking/ I still ain't got my ticket/ come from where I was risen/ can't make no honest living/ I made a
modest killing/ doing what's not appealing.
Underneath the city with my pockets on empt/ no you never hit me give you props for the attempt/ I don't need a lot to cut a tie so don't tempt/ all my ice is inside I forgot to change the tempt
wary of the simps been ready from the rip/ travel Lite got baggage pack heavy for the trip/ gotta face the sickness you too scared to Bear the witness couple pains for the fitness ask me how I beat the litness
Now I know you only trying to make a difference/ but that don't mean that I'm trying to make it wit ya/ always worried bout the time that I'm spending/ only time I spend is trying to figure how to bend it
Im just trying to figure out how to mix it like a chemist/ get your mind straight help you get your life splinted/ you know it's guaranteed to never go how u intended/ love me when I'm down but lately I've been gettin lifted/ see me with the T don't have to ask if something's in it.
I got a lot of feelings/ won't catch me politicking/no time the clock is ticking/ I still ain't got my ticket/ come from where I was risen/ can't make no honest living/ I made a
modest killing/ doing what's not appealing.
Vanish with the quick/ vanish with the quick/ vanish with the quick/ vanish with the quick/I Vanish with the quick
You damage/ I banish / you pray that I forget/ I plan it /they panic/ I manage yet again/ high off all the lights all I gave you was a clip/ celebrate the vic then vanish with the quick
You damage/ I banish / you pray that I forget/ I plan it /they panic/ I manage yet again/ high off all the lights all I gave you was a clip/ celebrate the vic then vanish with the quick.

It ain't no demonstration/ been up and down my movement moving just like immigration/ been doing fine open your mind and get some ventilation/ got left behind became the driver wasn't designated/
now I'm going places left the stratus just to break the status/Switched up the habitat I know they tryna shape my habits/ ain't been no average cat since coming back from all the damage/ ain't got no magic hat but keep my balance like the rabbit/ came out with no scratches harder than metallic.
I've been banned befo/ one Man Band the show/ got my land for low/ peep that sand below/ in my head enough to bust your cantaloupe/ mike cop fire and go Michael Myers the flow/ tightrope wire i stroll/ just to inspire my fos/ refurb tires I roll till the retirement home/ rebel they etch on my stone/ you reinvested your soul/ I don't change the clothes/D B minus the old.
Still ain't no demonstration/ been up and down just tryna to find something to vindicate us/ was said to me to keep it g no matter how your rated/ I got it straight ain't nothing given that's a lesson taken/ got me going places nothing static I became an addict/ I've had enough I used to stunt just like my room was padded/been moving up it's been a month and haven't seen my mattress/ I had to take my lumps to jump into a different bracket/ came out with no scratches you ain't half the hazard
I've been banned befo/ one Man Band the show/ got my land for low/ peep that sand below/ in my head enough to bust your cantaloupe/ mike cop fire and go Michael Myers the flow/ tightrope wire i stroll/ just to inspire my fos/ refurb tires I roll till the retirement home/ rebel they etch on my stone/ you reinvested your soul/ I don't change the clothes/D B minus the old.

Tales From The East
02:35
|
|||
Straight through the floor I've fallen in/ came through the door straight stumblin/ still watch the film be double length if it ain't about the script then it don't trouble with me/
Came from the East brought you Tales from the beach/ pounds for the cheap got my town by the leash/ stayed Out Of Reach cuz they aim for the knees/ L paid bill made way for my release/
See I came from afar just to start the regime with the lights on the dash in the car with the leak and the brakes I don't ,,,,pump so my wheels don't Screech/ gave it so much but it still looks bleak
I hit from The Blind Side I live on the hind side/ stay with my eyes wide been watching that scifi
I hit from The Blind Side I live on the hind side/ stay with my eyes wide been watching that scifi
I hit from The Blind Side I live on the hind side/ stay with my eyes wide been watching that scifi
I hit from The Blind Side I live on the hind side/ stay with my eyes wide been watching that scifi
Do or Die
Still with the peeps that I struggle with/ every new gig just another whip/ and I almost slipped wheres the fundament/ most coveted,,,,, there's no doublin,, me Loose chain on the door off the hinge don't peek/ 2nd floor full of beats when the house was asleep eggcrates ,,, on the wall so the neighbors don't speak/ day and night bleed no rest for the week /Low rates for the takes hot plates for the cheap/much pain no,,, gain still remain in the league/ New bank same state still blank on the receipt/
Tell me what it is Tell you what it's gone be/ came across the bridge and landed on my two feet/almost did a bid but got some funding from the team/ not enough bread too many heads I need feed/ strength or the week which side will you see.
I hit from The Blind Side I live on the hind side/ stay with my eyes wide been watching that scifi
I hit from The Blind Side I live on the hind side/ stay with my eyes wide been watching that scifi
I hit from The Blind Side I live on the hind side/ stay with my eyes wide been watching that scifi.
I hit from The Blind Side I live on the hind side/ stay with my eyes wide been watching that scifi.

The Basement
03:35

Call a doctor/ call a proctor/ call a father/call who's listening/ I'm the problem/ start the drama/ where's my conscience/ not what this again
Call a doctor/ call a proctor/ call your mama/ call who's listening/ I'm the problem/ I'm the drama/ where's my conscience/ not with this again
Now I started this and I'll finish it/ I brandish this for remembrance when I wore the pic with the Power Fist/ put some hours in made you bout to this
Got a lot on my lid been trying to let off the steam/ bring you into the scene bust a hole through the screen/ all the rough I've been through just to land in the green/ got a plethora of things to help me cope when I need/ I try not to get chewed/ couple holes in the teeth/ won't wait for you but time waits for me/ meant nothing to you my dimes made you see/ flew the country to groove and brought it back to the Sea
Causing problems/ far from conscious/ not imposter/ I'm my father/ man some images can't be doctored/ man I'm checking off same old boxes
Causing problems/ far from conscious/ not imposter/ I'm my father/ man some images can't be doctored/ man you miss it you'll never get to cop it again.
She'll never want me again
Call your partna/ call me proper/ I'm the one that makes sure we'll prosper/ many faces never gained no Oscar/ cool cuz the deal made dough no launder/
Gotta be way too chill for the drama/ even made promises I know I never honor/ ,,,,,I believe strange things go and get some superstition/ orange is the new Brigham treat that like a new religion/ hit em with some different pitches/ they just keep,,, mood shifting/ when the plot get thicker I come in with lacquer thinner/ used to dream of having spinners solemn be ,,,,not chipper/ I don't play fence sitter/ sipping made my brain bigger
All the changes/ far from stainless/ call me hating but don't call me faithless/ I've been spacing I might call you wasted/ talk my language maybe solve my anguish/ calm in places got no common spaces/ call it off another fall from greatness/ time you wasted I stole all my bases/ one more then it's back to the basement.

Palm Readers
02:53
|
|||
Quarter past 12 still not phased/ quota met gas straight octane/ from the old ways learned some new things/ gotta give thanks for the scrapes off the loose change/ just to dig crates for the brakes tryna move thangs/ something we can lace and not get yanked by the shoe strangs/ Shulda been more patient bit the plate and got a loose Fang/ still they know I'm capable/ mistakes I might have made a few/ that's way before the mood change.
Life on betterment/ there's no telling it/ made through my revenant/ gave to my brethren/ father dropped hella jewels/ said that I look better rich and now I got that fever pitch in room I'm the elephant.
You can read my palms for the evidence/ all my days are long counting scars like a veteran/ up until the dawn from the Dawn and I'm settling/ bard in the residence/ bars for the medicine/ far from the elements/ not the one to metal with/ don't know where my era is/ even on the edge I never slip/ and I stay up on this shift/ put some etches on the checklist/ bacon for the breakfast/ praying for the Restless.
Quarter past 8 still got my head on straight/ because my walls don't talk and my alarm don't shake/ I evolve in the dark/ turnt my home to a base/ kept the ball in my park/ watch it all fall in place/ when it all falls apart/ keep it moving like a freight/ got no problem staying wake/ I got so much left at stake/ I just got up from the rubble never crumble under weight/ I just beat another struggle put the supper on a plate/ nothing could unread the eyes tried to hide but the shine/ you made it just in time I've been putting overtime/ at night I come alive nothing you could undermine/ need you to pick a side got that from my mother's side/ catch me staying up at night/ never flip that open sign/ never pick another sky/ just the way I hold ties/ always chasing old highs/ catch me in that coal mine/ they be sleep with both eyes but I never close mine.
You can read my palms for the evidence/ all my days are long counting scars like a veteran/ up until the dawn from the Dawn and I'm settling/ bard in the residence/ bars for the medicine/ far from the elements/ not the one to metal with/ don't know where my era is/ even on the edge I never slip/ and I stay up on this shift/ put some etches on the checklist/ bacon for the breakfast/ praying for the Restless.
Pray for me I'm Restless

Medicated
02:23
|

Okay I medicated, metatated, met my maker he told me to, make a statement, made my cadence don't berate it, or get complacent, you can escape I've been evasive beating cases, they been vacant sniffing traces up, innovative elevated automated, hit the game and ran away with all the flavor, I can't be your savior cause I never save enough, life is what you make it and I cannot make it up, and I should be gracious but this ride has been a bust, when they get to taking and your pride becomes a must, I got obligations and no faces I can trust, but ever since I got out of my box its shaping up.
The wheels are sagging bandwagon draggin if it were to flatten I'd pick up the back end, feel the magic came through like the Kraken, I'm good with the racket don't need no back spin, I need more action, get my meager rations, to feed the masses, I weave like Cassius, do things backwards went from Green to ashes, went from fiend to having enough to feed my habit, see you give passion I start detaching soon as I'm out they pull me right back in, nothing to bask in take the message and pass it swallow that like capsule ain't no muscles relaxing asking.

Things We Summon
02:31
|
|||
Really really really don't want to know
Really really really don't want to know
Really really really don't want to know
I've been losing strings trying to maintain/ everything you say all in my main frame/ claim you hate it when I ask my stage name/ when this thing is over we should vacate still/
Made it now I'm at the top of hill/ make me have to hit you with that came from nothing spiel/ asking how I'm here like it's a miracle/ when I disappear you wonder where I go/
Really really really don't want to know
Really really really don't want to know
Really really really don't want to know
Really really really don't wanna
Can't keep running from the things you summon
Can't keep running from the things you summon though
Really really really don't want to know really really really don't want to know
Caught up in the moment left the motor running/ midday in the morning I was on to something/ never meant to do you wrong you shoulda saw wats coming/ do my best to give you all because you ask for nothing still
If I gotta I won't face it till I'm at the top of hill/ get enough to fill your plate just don't complain about the bill/ curious you never see me in the physical/ if that's all you did then why you look so Criminal.
Really really really don't want to know
Really really really don't want to know
Really really really don't want to know
Really really really don't wanna
Can't keep running from the things you summon can't keep running from the things you summon tho
Really really really don't want to know really really really don't want to know

Tall Tales
01:54
|

Trouble smells hell sells/ I'm just trying to make it to the fame like Bell/ trappers get slain rappers tell tall tales/ do the math again claim that the name won't sell
I never needed surgery/ but see these nerves put me here in this Infirmary/ and kind words have a funny way of irkin me/ but I ain't ever played Urkel/ live with my virtues make this game deserve you/ it's good if it hurts State of Mind black and purple/ these Dark Shades make dark days much less hurtful/ and my odd ways Made daybreak the new curfew/ in my arcade where all fate is headbutted by the hard way/ gold stars bricks coins Ballers and ball chains/ hit the throttle they say tomorrow it could all change/ but 90 out of 10 you'll wake up with the same damn makeup in the same bed/ tryna hit the brakes/ in a race with the brain dead/ just the life I've tasted/ tell you what its laced with/ vacant faces started from the bottom of the basement now we at the bottom now we at the bottom of the
Problem is the time that I'm spending/ clockin every dime that I'm spending/ I don't think my mind will forgive it/ problem is the time that I'm spending clockin every dime
Clockin every dime

This could be the one/ get the job done/ don't pick the wrong one/ meant to Ball some but spent my small sum/ sit with my drum and hit like Paul Bunn/ keep mits off my funds/
I been makin change like it's automatic/ you know living better than my father managed/ hit the ground boarded for another Passage/ you can read that in my bio autographic/
All they said was problematic/ I don't know where I've landed/ all I've been is level-headed/ that's how I skip the panic/ never get it how I plan it/ I might just up and vanish/ I don't need to understand it leave that for you to manage
Hold the presses/ roll a second/ keep the game close to my heart my precious/ overtime tend to get overzealous when the moments mine I'm gonna oversell it
Pass That dough to me/ gave that flow for free/ strangers pray for me/ gave me rosary/ others approaching me like where you posed to be who paved that road for me.... Just wait N see.
This could be the one don't pick the wrong one I meant to ball some but spent my small sum
This could be the one don't pick the wrong one I sit with my drum and hit like Paul Bunn
This could be the one don't pick the wrong one I meant to ball some but spent my small sum
This could be the one don't pick the wrong one I sit with my drum and hit like Paul Bunn
This Could Be the One
This Could be the one
This could be the one though
I been tryna change how the plot was written/ U kno tryna change where my mama livin/ bring a little shame to the opposition/ just how the life is tinted/ wait till they document it/ watch and listen stop your Lippin imma need for you to pitch in I just want some new beginnings I don't buy that ish they shippin/ I done heard my share of pitches/ leave that for you to listen/ I done had my share of business leave that for you to mention/ Hold the presses/ roll a second/ keep the game close to my heart my precious/ overtime tend to get overzealous when the moments mine I'm gonna oversell it
Pass That dough to me/ gave that flow for free/ strangers pray for me/ gave me rosary/ others approaching me like where you posed to be who paved that road for me.... Just wait N see.
This could be the one don't pick the wrong one I meant to ball some but spent my small sum
This could be the one don't pick the wrong one I sit with my drum and hit like Paul Bunn
This could be the one don't pick the wrong one I meant to ball some but spent my small sum
This could be the one don't pick the wrong one I sit with my drum and hit like Paul Bunn
This Could Be the One
This Could bee the one
Underjoyed and overboard it takes me but I still won't let these dreams Escape me underjoyed and overboard it takes me.

Mayday for your hay day imma headache I'm a showcase made some digits with my mixer put ignition with the propane/ fishing through my lyrics got you dishing like you know me/ made it out on probay had no choice but to relocate/ now I'm back and fully loaded with my baggage overflowing/ I'm so blackened Action Jackson went Heroic to a stoic/ tryna get promoted I've been Grinding for a minute/ scraping pennies paid penance/ you can kindly mind your business/ I just got committed/ I just got admitted/ ain't got no time for sitting is we done or is we finished/ take a hit and say good riddance I just keep them feelings hidden/ keep out of my keep we play for keeps out in my Village.
Mayday for your hay day imma headache I'm a showcase made some digits with my mixer put ignition with the propane/
Mayday for your hay day imma headache I'm a showcase/
Mayday for your hayday imma headache I'm a showcase.
Rain all In my heyday/ all I do is lay waste/ own the game no co-pay/ name ain't got no low case/ I just got a pay raise/ you can't say it don't phase/ working through the whole day I don't clock out for no lunch break/ knockout when I showcase/ I was locked out got my key made then I came and left with no Trace/ you can't see me I'm too opaque/ playing with my pay again you play with my emotions/ make my payment now I play to win you can't get me demoted/
Game ain't got no layway/ you can't get no leeway/ late tag on the freeway/ keepsake for a cheapskate/ keep that streak on replay get them records shipped like eBay/ I'm a pro at what I create and my head will never deflate.
Mayday for your hay day imma headache I'm a showcase made some digits with my mixer put ignition with the propane/
Mayday for your hay day imma headache I'm a showcase/
Mayday for your hayday imma headache I'm a showcase.
Made it back hole from an all-time low/ blow smoke for the plug that's my igna marlowe/ don't nobody show love when the walls start close/ kick in my door taking pics of my dough/ if you can't roll keep your fickle eyes closed/ please remain seated we about to start show ......show show.

Gone Believer
03:15
|

We'll make it/ I been some Ill places I know we're still shapin/ I'm Talkin real saving/ I been some Ill places/ I kno we're still shapin/ I swear that we'll make it alright,,,
Please don't act so vegetable/ say my dreams unnatural/ real by real/ got a extra roll and I set the tone with no stepping stone/
Ease up please Don't Step the toes/ frame by frame I block the Lows/ lane by Lane I'm next to throw and I taught the game to my three year old/
I been trying to live by the scripture/ they bother me tell me not to preach/ ain't in none of my pictures/ the likes of which you have never seen/ they still call me as sinner / but I just came for the synergy/ you just came for my expertise/ I just gave what you give to me/
Now this just might make you hate me/ you don't get my time cuz you waste me/ In that new Jack Black like the 80s/ and some things I push till the daisies/ used to pay no tax on my wages/ cop one more pack for the stages/ I don't make no packs I'm too jaded/ I hold so much back for your safetyyy/
All I play is the victorrr I don't care if you got one round/ all you plays the victuum you wait for me to gun you down/ I don't claim to be bigger/ I just want you to act that proud/ pick me up if I hit the ground/ it's just me when I boil it down.
That won't make me Believer
That won't make me Believe ya
That won't make me Believer
That won't make me Believe ya
That won't make me Believer
That won't make me Believe ya
That won't make me Believer
That won't make me Believe ya
I been This way for a reason/ I ain't got much to believe in/ You can't believe I'm still breathing/You'd rather take it I leave it/ I been this way for a reason/ You said to be all I needed/ but that won't make me Believe ya, that won't make me believe ya... take that straight to your leader take that straight to ur..uh huh
Please don't be so skeptical/ tune in a new episode/ changed up who you knew before/ but I still got ,,,my proof to hold and I still plot,,, my x's and o's/ L set the stove n I broke the show and then broke the mold I might tank your boat u can't touch the soul it's intangible/
Now I'm always tryina to get richer/ put my mind on a brand new scheme/ you just can't get the picture/ quit my old life to start my dreams/ I don't wait for No figuuurres/ I give Chase nothing gave to me/ I went straight to the Major League/ on my way turned a major fiend/ Now this be one for the ages you know we all don't reach the same stages/ you know we all don't go the same places/ Don't you throw no food through them cages/ used to give my praise on The Daily/ aint gotta push no cane to look Shady/ give me all my change n we gravy and you can find someone to replace me.
I don't pay no attentiooon/ I'm always tryna change my scene/ I done made my predictions/ show you things that should not be seen/ too much shade in my vision/ put my take on the things I see/ I just can't keep my tongue in cheek/ all my convos need referees.
That won't make me Believer
That won't make me Believe ya
That won't make me Believer
That won't make me Believe ya
That won't make me Believer
That won't make me Believe ya

I ain't came for no picnic/ I just came for my dues I want all my scenes to look vintage/ I don't own nothing new/ y'all ain't came for my wisdom/ all I show is my cool/ I been wit cake but don't spend it/ and now you claim you need proof/
All this pain is my proof/ All this game is my proof/ All this shame is my proof/ All this strange is my proof All this shade is my all this stage is my all this age is my all this cage is my all this name is my proof all this pain is my proof.
