If something like a beat can keep me sane Then something must be beating in my brain Something has been eating me away Like how we’d be so peaceful when it rains Yet still we are uneasy and complain Why do we treat the beautiful as if it is so plain? Why do we act so evil and afraid? And treat our fellow man like he’s deceitful or insane? So many different things within a day Why obsess over the thing that’s in the way? Sometimes it’s tough and some will lose their way Everyone believes in god it’s just that some refuse to pray And God can come in many different shapes Take in solace of the colors and their many vivid shades Plants, animals and monuments that bathe within the rays I can see the many majesties in any given space I take pity if you gravitate towards bickering debate Or try to pick apart the particles and molecules that make Man is all but what he offers to create For it belongs to finer grace So strive to find diviner fates from higher places Discovery Of Self.The grand architecture The unexplainable masterpiece to an art collector Don’t deppreciate your value when You ARE the precious metals Golden bones of future, past and present particilple You are the riddle and the answer General, Commander, Captain, Major, Admiral, Lieutenant Divide the universe and find the truth within it Decide your fate and choose your limits Go defy the fakes, define the newest physics. Guess I’m still tripping, since my birthdate Solar eclipse inside an earthquake, what these words make. Discovery Of Self is not exclusive Distant time and place, elusive, hard to tell its obtainable Through trial and tribulation little seed must grow to flower In the rabid grasp of savagery the dawning hour is now But who we are and what we are is not determined by our actions Rather classified by how we have distinguished what is absent Or important. Windowless and altogether hollowed confidence The consumation of your heart and soul will lead to providence But know the roads are littered with negative instruments Set to disengage your orchestration from it’s sibilance And knowing is but half the battle, the other is unknowing So in honesty we’re zeroed with no sign of time slowing And I’m only just an archer, dry firing wild and blindly At enemies undefinable, created and gestated in high society’s Camoflauge of a sigil in digital revolution Yet we’re chained to modern ideologies of retribution Must I burn here by my lonesome? Disovery Of Self is not a game to win, nor an art to master Those who seek the answers shall be sworn into their own disaster Even after all the positivity and all the laughter The distractions only zone us out from what never really mattered We have tripped too far beyond the reach Communications with the base have ce..as..ed... And I seek to keep these fragments, Expanding evermore at a rapid rate But every time I’m met there by a tragic fate Discovery Of Self is not immediate there is patience in the process Somewhere along the road we have forgotten this And so begins our journey, a trial set in flames We will know no more of what we have learned We must prepare to be erased.//

I’ve been faceless for a while Like the last one to make it out the pile Them the types you give an inch They take about a mile. I aint frontin’ Nothing fake about the smile Shit it is what it is. “It’s all about me.” Oh, it’s all about you? “Word son.” Naw, it’s always been All about us, now what can we do? I’ve got FIRE in my focus like there’s Crack up on the stove and it’s been Cooking for a minute, bout to see what We can produce. Holy like the ghost you’ve been praying to for Forgiveness, this is Quiditch And I got the lightning bolt up in my skin. It’s just a little bit of ingenuity and Self dependence, let me know if you gon Need your soul replenished. I’m the Master and apprentice, I’m about to make the Guinness Book of World Records Guinness in the mitt, got a scissor in the kick. Ya’ll are looking like Gorillas in the Mist Cigarillos in the mix, couple spliffs is getting lit. Yeah we higher than a bitch, sink a shot and Take a pic, champion is on his shit, bout to Crown another hit, what I spit is too legit Best to up and call it quits cuz there aint no hope. I’m here to shake this muthafuckin world Like a snow globe. Always knew that I was special when I met you Better yet when you met me, I can show you If you let me. I‘m Feeling like Wayne Gretzski On a jet ski. Dizzy Gilespie blowing these hoes Out of the ozone, so grown. Blowin’ O’s in my own zone, thrown on my throne. Chrome dome crown, I hold my own ground. My genetics from my parents apparently set The clarity, dont ever call me Generic you Parrots, how embarrassing. You really wanna try and test?

Golden Bones 04:37
Fucked up, top floor, free fall, wild’n out Pour me up, life is short, bag the work, eye it out Wired out, smoke break, back to work, higher now Finding out, what im working towards is for the birds I been superb, do you concur? Currently, nothing that worries me Wait 30 minutes before you touch the mic Consider that my courtesy Verbally murder the present standards Oh what’s up? You tryna build? Well I got some nails And a hammer, lets get it. The glamour and glitz Ain’t worth shit, half these kids getting rich Don’t even know what work is. And ME? I sit above this city, watching, like “gimme options”. Searching for the rap messiah Ended up in the Remy Martin... You’re semi-stardom...Demi Lovato I push the beat full throttle. Behead hoes like Sleepy Hollow I talk to freaks and models, It’s a hard thing to swallow. Just know that if you speak the truth believe Many will follow. -My Golden Bones. Scattered ‘cross the sacred land Where no man roams. No man My Golden Teeth. Spit the sharpest syllables Till no man speaks. No man. My Golden Tongue. Expanded through the dust to yell Where no man sung. No man My Golden Mind. Will wipe this Earth clean until There's no man kind. No man.- Impressively unimpressive Crash the parties with my homies don’t bother Checking the guest list. Yes. We only got one shot up in this mothafucker Bout to get corrected, I’m Golden, show some respect I’m holding, you know what’s next? A smoke sesh up in the Taj Mahal, off the wall. Go hard like we partying at Mardi Gras. Hardly yall, yall are hardly us, shit is obvious. Off the coast, Marcus Garvey’s ghost, doing somersaults. Ibuprof for migraines, in my lane, where I be proof And I be professor, Greater Numbers no lesser Go-getter, flow shredder, hot flame in a cold winter I leave ‘em with no winner, I sit with my soul centered Witness Im the goal tender, unlimited dro hitter My ginsu is so tempered, I’m quick with the skull splitter so... -No difficulty too legendary- -When I die, dig these Golden Bones out of the cemetery-

Flash-back, in back of a hatch-back hot box. Smoked out, dreaming of the top spot. Poked out my head and caught a sunray Blazing brighter than a lightning strike, I think I might’ve found my calling. Take you out this Orbit. Unsure of what to call this Devotion? Dedication? Or straight giving it my all? Man I been living for the fall out See what these people all ‘bout. The reason that they seasoned like salt. Boy I’m bringing fall out. Consider this a call out. Flash-forward in front of a spaceship. Grab the wheel and crash land Waiting for that mass appeal, take it. You have to deal with situations What you waiting - four in the morning And I’m snoring wide awake. This life is what you make it. So why the hell I feel like I was born inside a matrix? Living in a dream Funny how they only interested in the cream Where the fuck the leaders, the believers and the kings? Why we pay the cheaters, the deceivers and the theives? Who gon feed these people When they weak upon they knees? Who gon teach these children How to meet all of their needs? All we looking for is some direction and protection From police and from oppression We gon see it ‘cuz we destined These reflections -Reflections in my mind of a time when This rhyme shit was all about a grind Now its all about a dime. I ’ll be fine I’ll be chilling on the low I just thought I’d let you know -Hold it in and let it go.- -Reflections in my mind of a time when This world was all about do or die Now it’s all about some “Get money, fuck everybody else” You ain’t gon love nothing if you ain’t even gon -Love yourself.- Wondering where we go when we’re dead You need that like a hole in the head If not yourself then who do you trust? You must decide what’s truly enough Don’t get lost in this cold life It ain’t frost if it ain’t don’t bite Let’s just dive into the sea Side by side both you and me.//

With a swag that you can’t imagine Picture Chtulu battling the Kraken it could happen See you confusing passion with this rapping Like these bitches mix up smashing and attraction Time for some real action. You think you Titanic when you know you Going down with the ship just like Bill Paxton Fuckers I’m still laughing. Cuz of these ill tactics Bashing skulls in, peep the unholy omen Groovier than scholeosis This oil ain’t for your candle wick Can you handle it? Blowing out the basement Cameras quick, now you on Channel Six A life of crime tends to have it’s advantages Graduating up from turkey sandwhiches To shit that’s much more lavish, no. We playing battleship? If so I sunk ya’ll That bunk shit? I’m afraid I can No longer allow it to function. Hands up if you ain’t nothing to fuck with. -Hands up if you aint nothing to fuck with Put both hands up- You can’t have both hands up How is you supposed to roll the blunt? That chorus don’t make sense, now I been Itching like I’m twitching off some homemade meth Fuck is you talking ‘bout me “giving in” The goal ain’t met. Broke the record These onlookers broke a neck and I aint made A dollar off it like I only sold cassettes No one knows whats next, bozos hold your breath I’m trying to hold some breasts, Obi on the set Making E.T, phone home collect. I’m almost dead, my time is short Like a coke connect, make sure my lines are pure What is behind the door? You’ll never know If you don’t turn the knob Claiming you an artist better learn your job. Tension building? Let it build I’m in this shit now. If you don’t stand for nothing Grab a chair and fucking sit down. People talking shit like they’ve been getting commission I’m on a mission to make killing This whack shit a tradition. Feel me? -Put both hands up If you in front of that gun.-

Wealth 04:26
I know that I was made for bigger things. That’s why I’m never hunting for a job I just wait until I’m low on dough And pray that something iller comes along If it were never made to be that’s fine Just leave me unto my own device That’s just how I like to spend my time That’s just how I like to live my life You cannot keep what you do not own You cannot reap what you do not sew I see it clearly with two eyes closed Creeping eerily through my soul. -What we have here’s a great opportunity Great, great big opportunity Sign the dotted line Take a ride on the finer side of lunacy You could be the next big thing. What we have here ‘s a once in a lifetime shot To make advances on the bright side, watch. All we need is half the time That you gon spend on this Earth You’re on file from your birth to the dirt It gets worse.- Modern day slave caravan, eight hour segments Make money money Take our attention Make our investments benefit Our best vested interests Burst the seams on these pleated pants pockets You can’t stop it. Corporate America ain’t aware Of your aspirations But they only want your life If you could spare to have the patience Got us brachiating like suit and tie wearing primates with no breaks man Ice cream man signs on a rape van Great plan, leave ‘em with no options Leave ’em drug dealing, pistol popping Don’t you know the system’s watching Put your dreams inside a crystal coffin You can look but no touch Take your time there’s no rush, but hurry up Now I’m not so pessimistic I’ve had my share of punch ins But on the real fuck your Corporate luncheons and company functions Clocking out’s about the Best thing that I’ve ever done Waiting on that paycheck that’ll never come We just trying to get rich ain’t we? I’m trying to see big dollars Like Robin Leach on the lawn with a Check and a couple of commas I’m only trying to be honest We’re sweating for bread and pennies And it’s only escalating Wait till the end of the century If the needs of the few outweigh The needs of the many Ain‘t we supposed to compensate Till all the workers got plenty? You tellin’ me my minimum wage Can keep my minimums paid? Bitch please, you fuckers must got You some kind of disease. See there's a breaking point Do what you love, don’t hold your tongue Show this world what you’ve become And why they all better run In due time, worker ants gon burn This factory right down to the bricks Light a spliff and peace up Out of this bitch. -All work and no play makes Jack go crazy.-

Ticks 03:33
Know when to hold ‘em And when to fold ’em My father told me that and I uphold it Fear is your only opponent Even if you don’t know it You gotta find a skill and hone it And hold your cajones. The heart is where your home is. Fuck being a loner or lonely Isolation is a part of growing Everything that glitters isn’t golden You gotta show ‘em that you know The value of your focus And practice till you own it I’m on a different modem This is a magnum opus Crack a Corona floating somewhere In a solar corona because My salivary glands are so corrosive T ake a toke and ghost it Getting ghosted while I stir the cauldron. Stop with that crying shit You supposed to be legendary Like a leviathan Sitting here I’m high as shit All your blunts are wire thin Homie hold a pack Shit is louder than a siren We should trim the fat Put these suckers on a diet then I conduct the show and play these Pussies like a violin Let’s get bout it in this bitch Aint no need for violence I stepped to close to the line A couple times I admit. Wingspan, pilot, solo like an island Please don’t mind the smoke Fire department is prying in Like I’m Richard Pryor When he lit himself ablaze We all caught in a maze I’m trying to catch my breath. Don’t break a sweat over what’s next Just live it. And make a difference Even if you feel no different Than you did in the beginning This is physics. Mixed with hieroglyphics And higher living Time is of the essence Essentially it’s my time to get it. And I will. -Trying to start a movement But they shooting Instead of building a revolution What are we doing?- --------------------- -Trying to make a statement But it’s stagnant, ain’t no change When there ain’t no practice Shit is madness- ----------------- -Wanna see progression But there’s tension building You feel the pressure Aggression up in my building. ------------------- -And It’s all gone now Cuz it’s all going down Set fire to the pavement In the heart of your town.-
