I was brought to this world/I was birthed by the earth Was nourished by all the trees/and the grass and the dirt Was trained by all the stones/my enemy and my home Feel my limbs bear fruit/as they ascend to the throne And the waves formed caves/the rivers they brought the flow The rain it brought the pain/made hard by all the snow/and ice My face caked with blood/another roll of the dice The price that we pay/to keep form at bay Inferno of sempiternal/emotions brought on by potions The fire can bring desire/and a thousand other notions I'm burning up all the brier/and smokin like I was woven of matter that still aspires/to go out with an explosion All we are is dust in the wind/With freedom our best friend A journey with many bends/both mental and in the end A reason to justify/the omnipresent lie of our too thin skin So free your caged cares/and harden your soft wills Cause the void is still there/requirin all of our skills The highest of aspirations/won't be reached by any nation Let the human spirit bear it/and creativity snare it With a thought/and nothing more Cause thoughts can bring a lot/more than any hardcore Harrasin em with the tec/and attackin em with the mac But the bullets hit the brain/and do nothin but bring em back

Rue the whirl/the iron clad curl of the burl Spin to win kings walk paths with no hurdles Wonder why the sudden swirl/of reality can curl y0u Backwards buck asswards/tight wads in castles Mountain man slang part of parties of the best Call me momma while you listen/as you suckle at the breast Ambient occlusion gives sight to dead life looks real nice Darkest corners brightest/cut the night up with a knife Disparity brings disallusioned/the mind can open crimes But "crime" is just a symbol using methods of the rind Pork processed storks/chew the cud blow the bud Torrential rain slaughter the silence/like Kid Cud and E kills the bees in the hive of the mind But the honey's gettin runny/honeycomb on decline The climb is not a matter of vertical placement Ghandi knew he was no better than that kid stuck in the basement Real bass, mint money/for the travelling dogs Coughing laughter through the quarry/death of breath sings songs Teeter totter rattle the cattle so out of balance Bidet spray discomfort/clear the shit out of the way But assholes are assholes/polished or vomit So try to get your ass whole/stop Wallace and Gromit All sense is senseless/all mind is methodless Just the illusion of contusions/all is fine despite the find Agni behead me/broken bones bottomless Alchemical weapons of the body breathing stopperless No mind and no not mind/welcome to scholarship Ivory spear shear/I shave with sea caves I brave the neat names/the sputtering silt spray The pleasure and all the leisure/the fighting and all the biting The master is never tact/they'll spit over a track and rhyme "crime" with "time" 6 times and still shine The highest peak Without the lowest valley Impossible 6 times they'll say no/to snow and hot soup 6 times they'll pray hard/to God and death's loop 6 times they'll go home/ever coming back again 6 times less than blessed/bored and incandescent

t's that leaf fall in autumn shit Arboreal oriole/old world edifice carved in dead warriors stories The straight Christ of this Zeitgeist/fuck an anachronism I'm born into the livin age of fission we flippin through all the channels See the mangled/morals stormin editorials news stories of dead and buried babies/front page for the livin ladies Is anybody even livin lately/mind in other times cause crime is still alive and well, you can hear the bell toll/whether skinny or straight swoll Whether pretty or face full/of boils you straight toil And not a single labour spent/in order to scrape and make a cent is illegitimate for rent/cause cash can speak brashly just ask the "Great" Gatsby nah, he wouldn't have made a single cent if you ask me Peaks can cover valleys so rally to other alleys Or pally we'll have a problem cause Deus, it reaches to the bottom Of the barrel of the gun pointed straight at the sun Of the belly of the beast set to exploit and decrease Of the molly fried party guy/punches walls he starts to cry The bitterest but man it's stimulating like the ego is I'm egoless That may seem like a paradox/but between me and this pair of socks There's nothing but a hollow box/a space for the creation nation Process known as "Eden" that you feelin when you fiendin On the power of the demon/man it's Table Tennis *Interlude* Bob your head/nod it in Like you were a monk again/ascetic in aesthetics/a medic for all the pennants You better be payin penance/or buddy we've got a present Called a present full of pain/you know the pressure in your veins Heart attack rap clap/you saccharine and you slain I soar in skies with thousand lotus petaled eyes in my membrane Menthane for you buggy motherfuckers/build yourself off other suckers In this dead game/we heroes of the new earth We met pain Told him we don't need em/while we still alive and breathing This goes out to all the Heathens/the outcasts held so brash Any person swerved from the curve/of feeling decent All beings unite under bannerless incoherence

Time 01:32
Dionysian desperado/destroy to rebuild the motto Seems society's a travesty/hell bent on bringing breath to me But simultaneous stemmin/of all my cranial weapons A cavity with all the virulent venom/I been collecting And it sits like a coal/within the soul That's burning but never turning/failing all the tests of Turing My talent seems reassuring/but money is Epicurean Matter that doesn't matter/just a point within the splatter But might as well be cadavers/for all that the public chatters Seems a little boy can read/ha ha/good on you slacker But riches'll bring the bitches/and scholars'll bring convictions That fuck up a golden system/so they dead faster than wit is The torrid storm is a form/on horizons within the island of augery fuelled by artistry's/martyrs and simple simons Or so they seem to sound/when pronounced within the bounds Of a biased room full of liars/that pious men try to buy with a Ticket to highest heaven/costing dollars from the devil That dreamed of being dreamed/by Milton within the level But he's just another author/and I'm just another rapper Who'll be dead before his work/can be shattered like simple matter

Medicated mental patient I spent a season learning breathing/and the art of patience Bruising my knees on the concrete/discreet dialogue with Dionysus See the holy in the holes in my socks/I step tight with might Sunbeam cadet/navigate the stars faithfully Codeine for migraines/the pain resides vividly Sipping on cheap green tea/reading the front page Picture that I'm seeing/gives a rising to my rage Never forget/the dark twixt with the light Morals we forget/when we living within the night Call me sociopath/last laugh never spoken Chilling with Jean Paul Jones/tokin and jokin Meetin with Hannibals mandibles/up in Hoboken Wanna re-unite with my love/but the hoe broken Guess that's what happens/when you fertilize your happiness With seeds of evil demons/treatin semen like it's sacrilege Society of death fearers/actin like the grave's evil Tell us what death is/paintin up a grim reaper Look into my chest/as I take another breath See the certainty and yes/I surrender to the rest I rest/call it a night There's a sorrow in every hope/a light under every blight A reason to ever choke/and power to keep you breathin A heathen for every saint/sinners thinkin they be a taint Just let it be/as the bard said buggily Live your life as beautifully/as whatever your art be Paint a vivid scape/or escape into livid tapes Turn the tables with the page/pay a visit to the age Zeitgeist like rice rain down/upon the populace Every day is beautiful/and time is just a little myth All you need to do is surrender/to all that living is It's simple as one, two ,be/now get to sinkin ship

Studious 01:50
It's a house trained cat/still here to bring back The vibe that snuck round/the alley during the boom bap No click clack/or pitter patter/or brat brat Beretta acapella/so we holier than chedder Like a swiss guard armed/with tongue and tight charm Sellin dope to the pope/till we closer to God We closer to alms/we closer than Brahms and Back and Beethoven/to beatin the beat on So fuck that molly/pop that body Told you suckers twice/that I rep that bohdi But a wise man said/that to break that bread Gotta break some bones/sayin see em back in Cali I'm out in my field/I'm livin life real I'm honing my skills/for me and not bills For me and my fam/for us and our clan That includes you too/you fool that I panned Cause you all about the glam/all about the glitter Got a real big ego/cause you got your own twitter And a couple chicks lettin you/flicker around her clitter Is you even really livin?/Think you gotta think bigger Despite the rollex/and all the good sex You find yourself starin/and thinkin "Well what's next"? What an age old tale/and one I confess I can't really recall/so please, just hit next Gettin existential/swervin through your mental Livin life in the fast lane/cause it's only a rental So forget the dentals/we set our own records Finna sell my birthright/for some mighty good lentils Cause I'm not a prophet/was never chosen Not here to profit/like you fuckin posers You rap to stack/while I rhyme to shine You suck for dough/while I spit my lines You drown in pride/as I flow and ride You live for you/while I die for mine Do I got your ear?/can you hear me preach?

Intro (Bruce Lee) I said empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow, or it can crash. Be water my friends. (Apex) They say everything is emptiness/but emptiness is form The conundrum that I'm havin/is applyin this to the norm In a world full of villains/and a thousand Desert Storms Time for discipline bitches/this is my road to real riches Dark room deserted/by God and all his servants Readin Bible/Quran/Torah none of it's working Now that's not a simple write off/of a thousand holy sermons But as the German Clark Kent said/God is fucking dead So I sit and sit still/like my face was on a bill And meditate upon/all I've come to know as trill All the gats and fat beats/that made the culture ill Respect but I reject em/like a chick off of the pill Bury myself in the bodhi/like I'm runnin from Apollo Call me Morpheus son/better believe the pill is tough to swallow Swallow's echo hollow/but the song is far from shallow If you understand this/then you'll see the life of Marlowe And end all speculation/it leads to abomination These perspectives I've rejected/cause you know they lead to Satan Not the scholar but the baller/that terrorized every Pagan Just kidding simple Simon/"Paganism" is a myth like Gender and nationality/morals and rationality Human perspective is rejected/by most of reality 10,000 things that matter/as much as Bing Better Google and rewind dude/don't wanna miss a thing Golden lion tryin/to end an age of ever lyin Con men drawn in/cause living sucks it's hard man Better to be a dick/than a pussy lettin em all in You're that short sighted?/then sorry kid but you're fired Understand my plan/I'm not sayin I'm perfect Yeah I slack and I lie and I steal/but never worth it It's not the state of things/that matter to real kings But the path into the present/that we learn from past lessons And the future of the buddha/is missing the whole point Fuck a life of fame and riches/preach it loud and rock the joint If the present ain't a present/then my presence I appoint To schooling you motherfuckers/until you burn the coin And arson every idol/Iconoclasts are my rivals Apparently I'm a parent/to parents of the survival A terror still suicidal/despite soarin revival Of hope inside a bloke/that takes too many tokes You think this is a joke?/Choppin off my own arm Ironically this soliloquy/brings me far from harm Expressin despite reggression/and powerin through the towers One step up two steps back/three steps forward and that's that
15.
Crush em all/as I ascend like Leonidas In a fashion that'll have Pangae/callin me her highness I'm a beast and when I roar/it won't be terror that you'll find But a beauty on the beat/with a penchant to blow your mind I'm a thousand year young/Immortal without a gun A mental patient to some/With hair like I'm on the run With ratchets that wanna tap it like/mice be all in the rice And a terror to every error/I ever leave in my vice Pretty fly/for a white guy if that wasn't obvious I'm shovelin the dirt/to do some justice on this zombie shit You novices be rhombuses/in areas of inequality so logically/you yourself defy epistemology Do or die/fuck every person not in the verse cause I'm finna spit on some spite/like a camel with an aversion to bullshit and they be standing in your vacinity/politically that shouldn't be allowed in this soliloquy the illest g's know that I rhyme/to write a masterpiece And though it's not in sight to see/I'm running til the fight leaves me Like that'll ever happen/you rappers that've been nappin on me better get to clappin/or I'm gonna get out the bic and I'll spit shit until I'm sick as a patient that/ever patient/couldn't crap out a/shitty shit get it? Second verse/badder than every part of the first An anachronistic assumption/to some but whatever works As we travel through every time/that an Apex wasn't in first Well shit, here all ready?/Yeah, that's how it works But we back/to be specific we on the attack A war waged within the memories/mental and rarely won you see But fuck bein a downer/we clown and we fuck around in an effort to kill the sound/Of of Of the silence within the night/at the end of the tunnel Of the complexity of light/being higher than any drug'll ever get But fuck it man it's something/beyond just your debt In an alley of existential/aggression where all the pressure To snap is not incidental/it's crafted into the dental Records broken not a rental/it's depressin But fuck it I digress/as I stand up and beat my chest In the face of my certain death Fuck time/and fuck this existence where life is a certain struggle/and rest is ever a myth so we blind ourselves with the bottle/the molly and all the spliffs But it's brighter than any sun/that'll beat down upon the brick
16.
Ascendin to the day/where I enter an old age Where prophets are long gone/not buried in no grave But killed by Rogaine/and money with no pain So what was it all for?/what did we all gain? The prayers are unheard/we struggle in such pain A tribe of lost boys/devils we insane Walking talking anachronist/activist against names And walls and big goofs/still screaming "that's so gay" In 2013/where dreams can breed fiends But cream soon as they seeing/they gettin the small things Generation of apathetic/Lazarus motherfuckers Still inclined to slap a vet/if he rep the wrong colours The glory you seem to get/by blindin the Big Brother But you find you age faster/than Daniel Lebern Glover Individual missions are a/fiction breeding a friction Enemy omnipresent/as the Nile within my diction My flow it can burn rubber/like Betty can botch butter But better if it was bitter/like bastards to past lovers Harass til the last stutter/is passed like past mutters But mass can be a task/if you preach to the wrong brother You able to stand pain/without the Novacain A terror to all the tyrants/a shepherd to all the lame Or so they're so called/because they soak rain Instead of umbrellas/they're in for the whole game
