BLOOD ON MY HANDS
03:57
|
|||
With eyes wide
Everybody stop don't move
It's a homicide
And it's come for you
There's a war outside
And I can't get you used to it
There's blood over my hands tonight
A ghouls calling
Out to my piece of mind
And I can't help myself
And I can't get you used to it
Blood spilling out the casket, the demons in me need feed
And they running out of rations
Soul tired, feet dragging
Wove fabric from God ain't doing what I ask it
Smile cracked cause I mask it
Though my sadness doing somersaults and gymnastics
No glory there to bask in
The madness might just bring my body up to NASA
I'm a product of failed marriage and bad karma
Deep trauma and no will, chipping the armor
False starters, no role models, it's all opera
Cause we phantoms reanimated like my name is Madra
A nobody, a hollow shell, an empty husk
Organizing my thirteens 'for the day has won
Most of us ain't make it to see 21
I'll be surprised if I'm alive before my 20's done
It don't matter cause they ain't listening (Nope)
And by that time I'll be way into oblivion (Yup)
Tell Zay to pick a suit they can dress me in
And tell the drama that caused it don't need the sentiment
Peace y'all (I love you Duty)
There's a war inside I can't break from
But the war inside I might break from
All this war inside I need a break from
Matter fact, let me hit you with the break
Why?
Please hold me responsible
No, I
I don't like the monster I've become
No, why?
Product of the constantly abused
Abused
With eyes wide (With eyes wide)
Everybody stop don't move
It's a homicide (It's a homicide)
And it's come for you
There's a war outside (There's a war outside)
And I can't get you used to it
(Oo-we-oo, Oo-ooo)
There's blood over (Blood over) my hands tonight (On my hands)
A ghouls calling (Ghouls calling)
Out to my piece of mind
And I can't help myself (No I can't help myself)
And I can't get you used to it
If I control my own head I'm going for broke
No more going slow
We bout to go from dope to dope head
You was one of the goats, you spun to a ghost
You turned to a dummy, you dumbin the most
You stunted your growth
You wanted to go republican
You wasn't one of em could have kept it a hundred
You ain't let none of em know
How you plummet to one of them lows
No covering
But you don't run from what comes with it tho
That's cause it comes with a glow
That kind of pain turns to power
Then runs through your soul
If you allow it you can roll up blunts full of gold, smoke em
Now you make an arm and legs outta toe
Learn how to control it, you ain't gonna know how to function
When your son don't want you to go but you gotta
You going to war with his momma
You want him to know his fathers a rider
You never forget em you gotta remind em
You needed to help to beat those demons, you conquered em dolo
Mission accomplished
Almost
I do gotta know what schools he enrolled
Never thought we stoop to this low
Even when doc gave you the truest results we knew it
We tried to scoop him, its slow
You keeping him close, you keep him exposed
What good you doing him? You barely keeping a pulse
Now the evil is shown, you seeing your whole family croak
You reaching for dough, am I even human?
I know I'm lighting the fuse but
Shouts to Medusa for producing this flow
I ain't using it though
Why?
Please hold me responsible
No, I
I don't like the monster I've become
No, why?
And I can't get you used to it

GENTLE MIND
04:42
|
|||
I'd break the rules for you
I'd tell the truth for you
Without no hesitation
Cause you're the one I belong with
Under the fallen stars
Without no reservations
It can't get no better, yeah
Won't you come and let us in?
I've been thinking of you all this time
(And I can't get no sleep)
The right dose of medicine
If you come and let it in
Something for your gentle
I'm coming out for what it owe me
Sick of all the lies that you sold me
Who said you get it by your lonesome?
Won't do you good in the long run
Not much to trust about em these days
So I'm out here on the freeway
Yelling nah-nah-nah-nah
(There's a heathen in this house and it's trying to get up out)
Broken sense of self, religion dwelled into madness
Slipped me a spell, had an imposter in my absence
My laugh wouldn't sing the same way
This Oz ain't a wizard
Lotta time to reflect, not enough to come fix it
This city swallow the ones who don't move fast enough
And I can hear them coming after us
The long arm of the law came to cause war and jaw you up
But dont get far when we harvest love cause
I'd break the rules for you (I'd break the rules)
I'd tell the truth for you (Oh I'd tell the truth for you)
Without no hesitation
(Without no, without no, without oh-oh-oh)
Cause you're the one I belong with
Under the fallen stars
Without no reservations
It can't get no better, yeah
Won't you come and let us in?
I've been thinking of you all this time
(And I can't get no sleep)
The right dose of medicine
If you come and let it in
Something for your gentle mind, mind, mind, mind
I'd break the rules for you
I'd tell the truth for you
Without no hesitation
Cause you're the one I belong with
Under the fallen stars
Without no reservations
It can't get no better, yeah
Won't you come and let us in?
I've been thinking of you all this time
(And I can't get no sleep)
The right dose of medicine
If you come and let us in
Something for your gentle mind
The hounds out for blood, karma coming for us fast
Got a couple good friends, but they all going bad
So tonight I'm
Running on fumes
Hitters at my heels and they just might shoot
So I don't give a fuck bout what you expect
I could care less bout what you say
I said I'm coming out for what they owe me
And you gonna have to kill me if I'm prey
Perpetuating culture of ownership to the masses
At 16 I went six speed on a jet ski
Coast flows, made the beats and coached those
Who ain't know you could be more what the hope holds of those
Who don't bare witness to the aire spitting
Splitting image of god
Just the fact that you create with ya mind
Puts your placement at large
Simply place and a time when the fates will collide
So I'ma keep crate digging or ridging the system until they all set aside
The lies and give us ours, the pride, a young lion
Like I'm tied to the bloodlines of a young Simba
All this scar tissue could of lead me down a villainous arc
But I smartened up, the devil's at large
And when I find it I'ma probably catch a charge off of weapons assault
Putting paws on you pussies once my dogs whistle
I sneeze at you so you know that God blessed you
Be wise

SKYLINE
04:04
|
|||
Falling from the skyline
Where it drops me off I might find
Danger
Goosebumps from the highrise
I catch a buzz, think I might fly
To Danger
I might live forever if I die tonight
It's my pride I can't put aside
So I'm the sacrificial lamb
Are we living if we don't cross the line?
It suicide but the slaughter quiet
What's good about that?
What's good about that?
Road to salvation
We all make mistakes we can't take back
If no God's waiting
And no one will save me
I can stand
Lone in this path
Falling from the skyline
Where it drops me off I might find
Danger
(Woo)
Goosebumps from the highrise (Goosebumps from the high)
I catch a buzz, think I might fly
To Danger
Ayo, no need to wake me, I've done the education
So this conversation is based in the facts, yeah
Here's your invitation, to the liberation
The status in place is puppeteering the masses
No safety when we crash it, better stick the landing
The forecast is disastrous and everlasting
Plastered above the rafters
The whoremasters speak accents and reek of fallace
The fucking bastards
Exiled, a pariah, a thought, a desire
Defiled and divided of an iron will
Apply your chill to the swell of hell where your devil dwells
Excel in settling or exhale medley, I'm out peddling
Are you straight? They stripped naked and lace double agents
With fear, a fragrance, to think you wasting up space in this race
To clear the sidelines, what an odd science
Find your kind side, a benign bias
From my wide eyes, flying while I'm
Falling from the skyline
Where it drops me off I might find
Danger
Goosebumps from the highrise
I catch a buzz, think I might fly
To Danger
I might live forever if I die tonight
Its my pride I can't put aside
So I'm the sacrificial lamb
(Yeah yeah, brrr, yeah yeah, woo, uh)
Are we living if we don't cross the line?
It suicide but the slaughter quiet
What's good about that?
What's good about that? (Brrr)
Road to salvation
We all make mistakes we can't take back
If no God's waiting
And no one will save me
I can stand
Lone in this path
Falling from the skyline
Where it drops me off I might find
Danger
Goosebumps from the highrise
I catch a buzz, think I might fly
To Danger
I might live forever if I die tonight

TWILIGHT
03:20
|
|||
It's twilight in these streets
There's been a bloody murder
And I'm not sorry
I just put a man to sleep
The old me's gone
So call somebody
But don't tell them all my secrets
It's the fear of this
That keeps me running
Were we chosen? Are we rejects?
Will they understand?
The question leaves me wondering
Neck peeking out the suicide doors
Doing donuts in a noose, yeah (Yeah)
Blood covered, blade runner, spray something
Pistol popping the head off the roof, yeah (Yeah)
I took the top off the Maybach now I got the summer blues
I'm not amused by the modesty, turning ya trauma to dollars
The honesty measured in views
Cause this is malevolent cinema, my sentences, sentences
Comprehension at minimum
Brush the curriculum, I can deliver ya literature
From my heart like Melissa, look
There's terrorist on American soil
Hilarity is just hysterics that's foiled by clarity
And I laugh at the lack of the morals, cause where are we going?
I'm hoping Euphoria
Yeah
Just trying to reach that special place ya know
Most my nights are spent working hours on end
For a record you're only gonna hear three minutes of, but uh
Nonetheless
I'm bout to put you onto the alchemy
It's another saga of the Oscar award winning sword swinging
Variety, Arsenic, the way I act up
Snactch up the beat like vandal
Hold up
Handle like it's in the hands of Christ
While they chained by their masters
I peel it back like a tassel
The bag bloom like vacuum
While I mack like a bite out the apple
All the years I let fear compromise the alignment of self
And let money define what is wealth
But that old me dead, bleed out (Yeah)
I put to rest all the wretched old tactics
And these are not a brag these are facts
Twenty something albums in three years, who did it?
Bodied everybody on the bill, who winning?
You need the hype to prevail and I get it
I need my mind and I'm chillin'
Shit, but that ain't nothing new
I been behind the designing, producing
The masterminding
Turning cold demos into diamonds
It's all in the technique
Night after night and I will not be silenced
The midnight messiah
Riding into twilight with the sight of the sun right behind him
Rejected more times than I care to admit now it's hand over fist
I'ma stand as a man where I am cause I am who I is
I used to sneak in the closet
Lock up the door, go to sleep on the floor, where I bawled
Thinking I don't deserve to live
As a punishment, and told none of friends
I ain't love who I was I was sick and depressed
Fucked up in the head
Almost hung by my neck in the same room I wrote this in
I don't boost this in no particular way
I'm just baring my soul without regret and the shame
All the say if my heart stopped pumping today
I've been blessed that I made it this far
And I did everything that I could to put a smile on ya face
By the grace of my god
Moving
Dancing in the night off to the music
My skeletons are with me necromancing
Hands out the heavens someone soothe me
I don't know what's grabbing at my ankle
So please don't get involved with me It's dangerous
If you still don't get it I can't make you
How can you expect it to be painless
When paranoia's at you from all angles

PARANOIA
03:33
|
|||
Paranoia, paranoia
All the things I can't afford right now
Slowly creeping all up on ya
It gon shoot ya dead, shoot ya dead, man down
Man down (Man down) man down
It gon shoot ya dead, shoot ya dead, man down
Man down (Man down) man down
It gon shoot ya dead, shoot ya dead, man down
Aye, deconstructing my mind
I'm dumping out all the nonsense
Drop the N-T to the D-O
Then I Mary J. Blige it
Gotta visualize right through my dilated eyes
I want the keys to the kingdom
Like my first name Asahd
I need interest on my M's
About 40 percent
By the time it was retro
I was before it exists
They gon call out ya name?
They gon call out a myth
I knew bitches that were bad way before they were MILF's
If I bust she bust back
That's a lick for a lick
If we sip on hypnotic
That's a trick for a trick
She think I'm fucking her friends
But that's bad for my rep
Cause if I catch another body
That's a tag for a tag, uh
Red light, green light, that type of shit don't get by
And if you push us any further
We gon further fuck your vibe up
This that siren, woop-woop
That gon cuff you, that police
I used to not be sure of who I was
But now I'm me bitch
Paranoia, paranoia
All the things I can't afford right now
Slowly creeping all up on ya
It gon shoot ya dead, shoot ya dead, man down
Paranoia, paranoia
It's a thing I can't afford right now
Make you think they gunning for ya
It gon shoot ya dead, shoot ya dead, man down
Man down (Man down) man down
It gon shoot ya dead, shoot ya dead, man down
Man down (It gon shoot ya dead, shoot ya dead) man down
It gon shoot ya dead, shoot ya dead, man down
I'ma keep my eyes wide open (I'ma keep em open)
Keeping one hand on the wheel (Keep it on the wheel)
I ain't trying lose my focus (I ain't trying lose, no)
I ain't tryna lose my chill (I can't lose my chill)
Never know when they might come for us (You never know)
Never know what they might need (You'll never know)
I'ma keep my eyes wide open (I'ma keep em open)
Never know what I might see
Ima keep my eyes open
I'm focused watch for the haters
Cuz they call of duty is taking you out with lasers
Head shots to line you up
Stay on point gotta shape up
Stay on my P's and Q's
I'm P and G like the Lakers
Purple and gold
I'm pretty good with crossing my T's dotting my I's
Haters can no longer block up my vibe
I'm Paul George Porzingus and Pau Gasol all combined
So my game is well rounded like pupils
Better watch yo eyes
(Whoa)
Lil Jody, I'm talking like yo step pops
You baby boys don't make me have to put you in head locks
Father time taught me patience
You see the dreadlocks
But I want some more sons
Just ain't want to outta wedlock
(Woah)
So I marry the game
Father these niggas I'm stating my claim
But none of em really could carry my name
Disowned em look at em looking ashamed
Can't heal from that particular pain
Paranoia got me feeling a way
Niggas steal and these niggas kill
And these niggas squeal just to get to the fame
So I don't trust these niggas
Had to cool myself down
Walking around with brass knuckles
Ready to snuff a nigga
Was losing focus praying cops won't try to bust a nigga
Over something stupid
Rookie cops just wanna touch a trigger
My nigga
One minute I gotta watch the law
Then I gotta watch these boys
Now I gotta watch my dogs
It's sickening cause all I ever wanted to do was shine
Change my peoples lives
That's all I ever wanted to do with mine
So I grind

SOUNDTRACK FOR A DAEMON
04:44
|
|||
Major move baby, right
From Southern Blvd to Bathgate we bringing it straight to ya bones
One time for the boogie, ya feel me?
Come correct before you proceed
Come correct 'for you slide
In these streets they do you coldly
Do you cold, bottom line
Don't get caught out in the open
Plan ahead and strategize
Said you been waiting on your moment
Well it's about time
Come on, come on
It's a whole other beast
And the mighty fall
When they don't do away with the weak
The ones with most to lose
Must watch their step in every way they move
And dodge all the illusions
(Running out of time, gotta dodge, gotta dodge, hey)
They prey on your confusions
And won't nobody come do me like that
Won't nobody come do me like that
So come correct before you proceed
Come correct before the vibe
You should really get to know me
Before you reach your bottom line
If there's one who won't fold up
When it come to what to do
It's the one with the fire
It's one who on the move
Quin got the connect
Crossed up out the border
Off white assorted cause we got it out the muddy water
This is Jordan mic skill level
Thriller bark arc, might flaunt when I talk
But it's hot like degrees, like '01 Weezy
Like rolling up your sleeves, like fresh up out the grease
So I'm seasoned and sizzling
Cooking up the feed while you sleep
Made 44 meals in a week, now eat
I'm a machine like steam, like go, like gadget
And I black out like all lives matter
I'm elite any given day a week like a satellite dish
Might just put the data right up on my wrist
That's fridged, 40 below zero, cause it's brick
That's different when your art paying for the rent
Made something out of a square, Vanna White with the wheel
Fortune favors the bold, magic how it appears
David Blaine with the brain, levitating my love thang
Balloons for the affair to send you up in the air
So if you are not aware
I am of a tier that makes substance out a abuse
And do it all on a dare
I might go pop and turn the voice angelic, unapologetic
Blood on the dance floor, dialing 911
Pick up, it's a stick up, check the rictor
Scale, I bring dope like postman in hail
Plus when you know me to fail, I'm here, I still prevail
Pop up the top like you a bride with the veil
Have I not made it clear
That I am your lordship
This ain't your world shorty this is my orbit
And everything lawless
Matter fact I'm bout to mortify the market
And oooh it look gorgeous
I promise
You couldn't even fuck with me if you bout me to the orgies nigga
So come correct before you proceed
Come correct before the vibe
You should really get to know me
Before you reach your bottom line
If there's one who won't fold up
When it come to what to do
(It's Kony Brooks the king of New York) It's the one with the fire
(Ayo July can I talk my shit) It's one who on the move
Fuck ya vibe my energy for the soul
I'm a wreck if you test it I'm pulling up with the pole
Olympic with the sticks I'm sliding to get gold
King Brooks with the flush, I'm royal you better fold
The greatest story never told in bold and italics
New Roman the underline is you'll die in this palace
Full of malice the clipse nearby, God couldn't save em
From this eagle eye, hawk speed presence of a raven
Since 07 I been Cajun, history in the making
Daniel you the king of New York, no relation
I'm patient, but try me again and become a patient
Or another rapper dead and an overnight sensation
I get to cookin on tracks get me the apron
I X-men pen is a nuclear mutation
I been grinding all my life to make a statement
Money rule the world so I'm bringing home the bacon
Ready to die I need a big deal and a big wheel
While I'm riding round the city like a kid still
Tales from the dirt I can spin it and bring a masterpiece
Death before I fail again nobody eating after me
Actually I'm a athlete son of Lolly B
Running rap circles and torching you is my dichotomy
Probably the illest ever speaking on it honestly
Triple 6 death when I kick it like numerology
July called the bully with a point to prove
X marked the spot we connected like a joint and moved
The masses and I ain't here to disappoint you fools
But try it I promise the sparks flying like a broken fuse
I got the city on lock, martial law
Bear claw this doughnuts, I balled like Brian Shaw
Way above par no birdie when talking dirty
7:30 over every instrumental I'm raw

A MELODY FOR THE FALLEN
03:01
|
|||
(I've been lost up in my)
When you've fallin
This will be the melody I'll sing for you
Hear it calling
Deep within, the echos from our years of youth
You take me higher than I've ever been in my whole life
(I've been waiting way too long)
The only heaven in this devil filled depression, I find
Sick of your spells and your ideations, you
Don't love me well, you don't love me bravely
You're petrified
Look who's terrified
You'd give me hell 'fore you give me safety
Could never keep me still
In your traveling distant memories I'm smoke
Something I've noticed
When you're moving too fast
Cause you think that every next day here just might be your last
But before you go waging a war that you can't fight by your lonesome
I wrote some notes to soldier you on
Here's your song for
When you've fallin
This will be the melody I'll sing for you
(I've been lost up in)
Hear it calling
Deep within, the echos from our years of youth
(It's been several months since I)
You take me higher than I've ever been in my whole life
(I've been waiting way too long)
The only heaven in this devil filled depression, I find
(Felt the same since I saw the)
Road to salvation
I've made some mistakes I can't take back
(I've been lost up in my, I've been lost up in my mind)
There's no God waiting
No one to save me, so I stand
Lone on this path
Falling from the skyline
With this blood all on my hands
Murder in the twilight
And my gentle mind is spent
The ones with most to lose
Must dodge all the illusions
They prey on your confusion
And your paranoia, paranoia
