how you feel
my life in the sunshine
just a punchline to the dark
tell it again
ties forming one sign in the stars
dwell in the lens
eyes wide admiring
end up blinded how the time went
the price of my decline put exit nine on the horizon
no gas in the whip
in my stationary stereo scratchin the itch
they told me I'm gon' have to pack it
it's hash to the brim
a year's passed and now I hear that they're asking for hits
are you catching my drift?
(YEA THAT MAKES SENSE)
since the moon fell, I can feel the sky burnin
is this a new hell or is it just the night turning
quiet as I lie
I can't seem to cease my mind working
put in overtime
pulling dimes out my life earnings
crisis of the quarter bought em dollars for the porter
I fly
can't afford to mark my measures in the order I write
left side with the stripes
connect lines and enlighten
the death scythe is retired at son-rise

I be a beast from the east coast
contra, I'm the least known
creek flowing grief over sediment and grain
no crease in my sheet ghost
haunted like a free home
please don't freak over my resonant remains
under covers ancient
I was laying in the cut
thats an understatement
overstanding the span of my composure
patiently awaiting your decay and disclosure
was it a mistake to call it fate
come daybreak
chase the pace syncopated I laid in my wake
I can't seem to find escape in the maison I made
the doors only open inwards
innards on my outer snake the circle that I stained
black veins splay wings
a black angel
cracked cranium
black brain becomes mad tangles
lack radiance
black moon the last stadium
ash raining from black stratus
a black haze
how I fade
(lock is in effect)
the wavelengths I go to just to ease your path
sometimes a blade's edge is how you free your past
witch hunt slash
which ones mask the true motive
one track relapse back to noose cobra
are you choking yet
no breath for the hopeless
quoth the crone
never know more than a stone whet
a soul menace gone rogue
set on their own penance
noble goals twisted in a jest of the old premise
you were a pawn moving like a rook crooked
you could knight a match but it wouldn't cook would it
burn what you like
what I plant foot wooden
sure you playing hard to get
but my gab shook bosom
shinigami sensei
kyouki-sama tensei
the madness that you wrought got me feeling kinda empty
in my bed framed by the dread you spake
lest I waste away lying late
by the light I wake

lock on first
to stir the pot
no crock
the spot gon' burn
nerves are shot
post op
the doc don't learn
copped a clot of the dollars that I'm not gon' earn
you're not (READY)
what you thought you heard
burst your cochlear knot with the knocks I serve
lurk the popular stops with an awkward berth
then hop the turnstile
what you want it churned?
nah forget it
I'm firm enough and sturdy's just a tenet
hit a purdie shuffle for the oldheads in my mentions
home at last
home at last
and now they wanna bench him
practicing my raps trapped in after school detention
we came to teach the miseducated like lauryn hill
show and lock are fly
thats why we soaring still
adorned and real
feathers like heaven told us to float well
touching the sky
you tryna hitch a ride on my coattails
(READY) to blast off
time to steal the show until I'm dragged off
for scratching these records until the wax off
mr. miyagi catching bodies
how I act all innocent
crane kicking this flavor til y'all get cast off
they ain't know that show would return today
but thats the purpose for commercial breaks
to keep you wanting more
if you like that
we're right back after these messages
welcome back to your regularly scheduled
yea you know you ain't
(READY) for another lesson
what happens when you get the DIALEX back in the session
natural progression of the craft
I know that y'all been stressing since the last
so now we back to bless em
pass the peas
detach your ass from your seat
this is your captain speaking
we gon' crash on the scene
you think you matching our speed
worry bout your traction
it's detracting from needs
as if I even planned to read your chapter
acting like the catcher in the weeds
you can meet me after class to chat about these Cs
where's your head at
imagine if you practiced what you preach
barely scratched the surface for the answers that you seek
ready or not we're not readily available
we're somewhere above em
we're unattainable
my set rules
that's why I bend a few
it's impeccable what this pen'll do
I can tell you not (READY)
know the name
got it stuck in your mind
two different dialects to make it sound so one of a kind
and I know I'm so ahead of my time
I could probably rebuttal your line
before you come up with the rhyme
and that's the reason why you not nowhere near to me
show and lock
ain't no way you can't not take us seriously
dawg you not hearing me
we not even feeling you
not fearing you
not even sure if you real
you not
(ready for the next battle)

rain
miss me again
mistake my dry nature
I favor dissent
I'm a wits end wiccan
stitch mend fission
but the needle's all pricks
no fix
thread missing
so I close up on my own
still got holes under what's known
I can't take back what I've shown you
high stakes after my lows
who do you go to
when the words stick in your throat
who do you hold
cold enough with no body over your soul
where I'm headed
and the sun don't smile when you come around
waste another day in the shade underneath your cloud
rain, rain so late the stars gon' see us drown
try to stay under but the night don't wane
for those who wake wishing that their dreams won't fade
ain't nobody a stranger to the blues
wager with the snooze
overstay my wave
break circadian loop (oops)
a painter with the hues
hinting at a greater strait
play it safe for when the dues shift the gauges at the gate
I was born a fool
never cared to make acquaintance with reality or rules
steady running up my latency
faithlessly I ruin every effort made to save my peace
blame it on the rain but it's plain I brought the grays with me
and the sun don't smile when you come around
(come around, get down)
waste another day in the shade underneath your cloud
(these days we just stay losing ground)
rain, rain so late the stars gon' see us drown
(drown in it)
try to stay under but the night don't wane
for those who wake wishing that their dreams won't fade

no rest for the weary
protesting the years we lost holding on to our fears
we got cold
vexed and veneered
nearly cheshire my expression
questioning the crescent that I left in your possession
too late to make amendments
let the beggars be selective
dependent on the cause
effective presently
I'm clenching jaw
preparing for that engine stall
suspended off the legend
all I never knew was heaven
sent a weapon as his messenger
obsession turned the reverend first
he's deaf to our confessions
now it's death who teach the lessons
the tenets that he vested often left us in distress
and competitors in pleasure
mock the red within our ledgers
cost the legs and arms and heads to clear our essence of this debt
I won't invest
(what you sayin' lock)
it's no rest for the wicked
no text on the ticket
go getter for broke how it's no checks in my system
switch my balance up
challenger mission to close my calendar
(speech)
preserve my words if they reach
disturb the dirt at my feet
I curse the earth as I breath
the herb the put's me to sleep
call it weakness
all I see is fallen pieces of dreams
apollos knowledge leaves us hollow as thesis without follow through
de capo
knew the buzzer was beat
shoot another three
just to see if I got it in me
seek spirit in the stein way
dissection of the line
it's a freak ritual mindflayer
perception of the light subsiding
quiet on this front
don't run it back
I've had enough
just get it done
(what you sayin' lock)
do you mean every word that you're saying
