80 Years 01:29
80 Years In eighty years of my timeline, my mind tries to walk the fine line from I'm blind to minds eye, I'm confined until the tree of life primes my vine, photosynthesis sun shines for prime time, The undersigned, the other I, wonders why, life only seems just to start at the end of the lullaby, And the end seems just like another try, New cloud of space dust, chaos in the making, taking what we can from the place that made us, solid mass from vapers, No blueprints, didn't ask for papers, Have love but we had to hate us, ...And we could build a bomb and it arm already, on the edge of a knife keep your strong arm steady, Got a calm but the harms all heady, Hoping we can backtrack before the last track splits atoms, fathom, blow your hat back melodies, Abstract felonies, Selling these stories of glory, DC, Moscow and Tel Aviv, Telling me, it’ll be all in just, But memory ain't all in trust, So we all adjust, In the consciousness, Conscious shift, away from the greed and the pompous shit, And so we hope and grow, and take notes on the open road, knowing that the book ain't open close, Praying that the action only happens after open prose, And love pours out and overflows, and that's the only thing that hope propose, Maybe we escaped from the do-so-do before, hope we don't retread the same foolish errors, The newest pair of dreams battle the newest terrors.

Real perspective, First lay the beat, Lay the heat on the record, Then lay the lyrics, Let em hear it at your shows-when they check it, Only way you know fa sho they gonna respect it, Then you inject it with feedback, see that’s where you find your next hit, Not too perplexing, but take it too far, lose your bars and Complex-I- ty, And the rest will be, oh yes indeed, Lost in the cost for the next to be, Gold Chains, growing pains for the next of seed, Both worlds for the ectasy, Crate dives and getting high for the love of the high fi, Though wise to the buys of the masses, Eyes still revise the prize through the glasses, Massive, Control the globe or the casket, Case for your basket, Hate from the bastards, Tragic, Still pullin rabbits out the hat with the magic, Tighter than an ass fit, Lining mic cannons, standing when you blast it, That’s it, passed out when you catch it, Fastened seat belts, we felt should be mastered, Pass it, round 2 blew through the last hit, Guess another one run away with the smash hit, Bands tryin to bend to fans tighter than elastic, Pop plastic is acid to masses, Loss of the craftsmen, Blacksmiths used to melt steel Now the real feel is heel and go kneel to the master, Appeal to the fact that, Shear from the path then your deal is sealed to the abstract, Who could know, as that, Who could know black entertainment television station could tell you that “that’s black”, Finger to the singers that rap that, Ass hats, Scratch that, money ain’t the one with the last laugh.

Cause and Effect Open the box, The box is a lock and a saw, No choices left cept caught in the draw Cause cops wanna pop from the glock that he saw, Shots rock then the spot and the whole block is in awe, Now all it’s confused, whose son’s called a good one, Easily dismissed, gone amiss, say he caught up with the hood ones, Would one leave life to chance, or advance at his own, Should one, glance at the chrome, for bills for the pills for the cancer at home, Questions rhetorical, Depravity historical, Life’s black and white when you’re dealing with a horror show, Fearing at the cornerstore, Tearing up after the horrible, Chapters of bastards, blasters, caskets, and factors deplorable, Leading to the cost of the loss of your actors, more so lost in the fact, That the cash is tossed to the schools with the less need, While the seeds of the cities are dying, Lying next to the cracks in the cement where dreams were built, The people drowning down from those with no streams of guilt, Behold the old cycle, Teach a man to fish when conditions are such that the wish is survive and told it was rightful, Cold and so spiteful, Alive to fight for, Days of futures not past, views to stop that, who chooses to stew in the dew of the shot glass, Who knew to stop that, But couldn’t get a job without Louis Vutton slacks, Fall Back, Give props to the man with top hat, Stop that, Yo, amazing though, They thinking niggas is paid in full, One slip just a trip back into the danger zone, Don’t let it phase you bro, Lost in a daze of gold, The days to go are few to renew us to the days of old, When we were clothed and bathed in gold, Adopt a new god? Lord save our soul, Fuck that, Where’s the brave and bold, Stuck back in the manger’s own, Stranglehold on the pain for game to grow, Shame on the tame who know, What a way to go to maim the lame and poor,

Human 01:49
Human The young man and the old soul, Find a way in the day to make the soul glow, Time turns into an oh no, Solo lessons- stressing for the no go, But what did we learn though, Time heals all wounds, But it burns slow, At least for a minute, Finding your peace or at least your forgiveness, Why are we livin, why with the eyes that you're given, Realize we rely on our vision, Besides all the lies and the gimmicks, And we could be fried any minute, And we could even fly, Why define just defying your limits, I’m surprised we survived to the finish, Guess that's a guess game, Don't rest, Press play, be blessed and test fate, The best can escape, don't stress regret na-than, I'm pacin, And even though it's hard to see the stars through the atmosphere, And all the crap this year that happened here, And though I wrote this song with a half a tear and half a beer, And fighting all the things that we had to fear, Lost love and loved ones that passed this year, Dreams in the sky that are crashing here, Hope comes back alive like elastic here, Making magic of tragic fears, We may laugh but we had to cheer, We past due, The light that's bright in their eyes and that's you, Love, hugs, kind words and that's two, Good souls in a cruel world, Changing minds til a new world, The dreams that it seems that we all get, Gambles in the game that we all bet, Travelers on the road all weary, Horizon hazy maybe come clearly, Beer me please, hearing these, tears- That were nearly free, cuz life aint what appears to be, In your face whether space or the heavens, Peace to the least when you're facing the present, Yesterdays rain and tomorrow's pain, Voice to the choice that we gotta maintain

Isolation (Verse 1) Night Demons, Changing leaves, And light breezing, Aut-umn must be the right season, Looking for the right reason, Ego having slight bleeding, Or not ego but a fight feeling, Looking at the light as the light’s peeling, On the ground paint cracked on the bright ceiling, What’s left, oh my right’s bleeding, Angel and devil on my shoulder say “we might need him” or “we might leave him” (Chorus) Isolation, Finding home in your own dome, Alone in a world that's homegrown, Isolation, Is it all long gone, Trying not to lose yourself in the land of the clones (Verse 2) Fell asleep, Hella deep…. Woke up, pissed off, this off melody, Solo, so no he dont think his self asleep, Hello me, All the faces get blurred when you’re burnin memory, What the chop cost him, He has visitors but not often, It’s not like the barrier is languages, communication angle is so far, vocal chords tryna speak sonar, Dont work, And wont work, So thoughts stay silent, Vibrant inside his mind, And behind his eyelids, His eyes spy something that’s alive and survived through the violence, Colors never seen, Somewhere between a clean stream and the evergreens, The range of emotions to the notion that devotion to the growing of yourself will pay off or will never be.

Crossing 01:48
Crossing Don’t ask me if I learned something, Far from me to be the one to beat the drum and say I learned nothing, But at the same time, If I throw it in a rhyme then explain, Then the frames mine, And that won’t do for you, Shit, And the Raps won’t bring it back, That’s just due to you, Now you’re the newly you, And fear nothing, Tears fall, I need a beer, something, Cause two many friends took two many lives, And I’ve got that damn call about two many times, Whose any line, New written script, News any time, Peace offering often for the new coffins, Coughing from a cigarette and I ain’t yet stopping, Lost in a train of thought, On a train to boston, It derailed, but made it’s way to Crofton, Awesome, Crossin where I started, Scoffing at the way that I departed, Stars give me peace, So stars be at least three pardons, Darlin, If you’re near me can you hear the beat heartin, In the mirror we carving, Carve a little space for the place that we partin, Between me and you like a race to beat darkness, Caught up in a, Box, Where you’re locked up inner, With a boxed up dinner, But when the light slides through the window and the bars, And you dream of space, the crescendo of the stars, It’s never too far, So peace to the, Ones we think of least of em, And peace to you, fighting off the beast of em, Each of em, Next step for the freedom, Believe em, And don’t forget your dreams too, you know we need em.

On the Day that Time Froze (Verse 1) On the day that time froze, With my eyes closed, I propose a toast to those supposed to shine but line like dominos, Survival time vamanos, Primal time, time to find galapagos, We constant tribalistic, With superstitions to rival mystics, Is this, planet of the misfits, With minds on tits and not existence, Or the galaxy’s insistence, discover uncover it’s distance, Another, other instance, Space said we won’t miss this, When the sires let the fires spin, And if we don’t die then we’ll try again, leviathan, Bottom of the lion’s den, Desire from the fire of a liar’s pen, Spent on to acquire men and sire him, (Break) (Verse 2) All praise the wasteland, Waist deep and pace-an(pacin) in fate’s tea, bag steeped in hate sand, Now where the water go, honorable, lose face, break fate’s potter’s mold, Future find artifacts long ago, Monologue lost, scribes at a loss, lost time at a cost, Change make it tolerable, Data disc at a glimpse, Tipped off colonists at a risk, Had to split, Matter split, On some, don’t really matter shit, Mother ship, remnants, drifters and gatherins, Listen to the chatterin..

Inception 03:18
Inception Who was I though, I would say that my eyes closed, Maybe my mind froze, coldest place to befriending my RI-val, Just me In the present, defending survival, Patiently waiting arrival, and I’m liable for all the change, Here calling the rain, Not for the seeds but for all of the fame, Lord of the vain, Your peers paralyze part of the pain, Peas paired in a pod, God pardon the shame. The face in the mirror change place and appearance, Based on the wrong pace and your veerin straight faced with a fear of, FATE, tastin the serum laced, Spaced out on the mirror’s edge, Ledge heads to a clearer place, Me and me mirror mates, Dreams clear, near tears, Veer through a clearer gate, Large Stars, Our Cause lost if we nearin late, Time bend to mind mend all to remind men.. Idea genesis, Head of his own light, Flight Featherless, Penniless moon light, Better this man stand everest, Tether this boom mic, New night and it’s cleverness, Never wish never this grew to move to new heights, Blue light special, revel in past reveilles, Cleverly move to prove fight meddle and settle for to-night, End of the night, Steadily fright, Change life heavenly sight, Ending your strife… Is my mind Calm? Overstepping of lines drawn, the cognitive dissonance doing my mind harm, Im on- A different plane taming the shrew of self, all to improve health, Maybe my mind’s gone, If I need a better base, better build a bridge between the better and the static, crack a smile through the weathered face, Face of my watch tocks slower knowing damn well I’m going lot slower clocked slower but a better race, It’s a marathon, outside of time with a heart monitor, auditor, time measures change so the sane came to honor her, now I think I know how to grow like the conifer, Rings for the age and change, lost moons of saturn, tattered battered matter coalesce and whats left, Soul kept is what matters, And if I need an answer time spent with the dreaming might get me the meaning (Refrain verse 2) Subconscious put into practice, Fact is, Appli----cable, make rubble of the past shit, Tracklist changed, make way for the drastic rearrange brain’s main tactics, Main Vein elastic, Back and forth match sticks, break but that’s just part of the practice, So we light the oil while we toil like the masters, tryna find the answer in the flask alabaster, (Refrain verse 1) Escaped the dark narrowly, apparently different me at the end of tunnel with hard therapy, part god part pharisee, bringing balance to the challenge of charity versus the terror of self heresy, Peace upon each merrily, the marathon is long drawn until the dawn but the dawn spawns clarity, On and on, original self and health, do it yourself, a long gone rarity
