The Crossing

It's never too late to come back to you
I was just waiting for the right time
Now that you found me is when I'm gone
Unraveled, battle molecular, cosmic travel
Unconscious mount on a stallion, beach trot on a saddle
Worn from time dimples n dents on the paddles
Tattletales grapevine heathens receive the shrapnel
My letter scarlet engrained I’m far along with it,
The short n long of it, project embrionic involvement
The uncommon stays salty like shots of ramen
While the populous solves problems with vices they stay palmin
The lamen’s stay lame when the platelet counts low
Blood thicker than water, go for delphia, how so?
Marauded by self worth clouded n rot slow
You da best without honestly breathin a test? Not so!
Old and annoyed, turnin more cold n employed
3d print moldin a toy, home cooked, sober in voids
Society stainless strainer soldiers from boys
At this point, so far removed I’m orbiting noise

Keep the drugs n guns n love away from me, I don’t need no extra, I got pressure
Killer karma operas, audobahn speeds are operative
Odd behavior rewarded cowards are dealt apocalypse
Offices often opt’in outsourcin the opposites
Management road blocks result in a drought of competence
An operator assist the lack of proper cop behavior
Situation evader remove masks like Vader
Saviors procrastinated, now ya lacerated
Not a moderated response, not pop automated
Street was the pedigree that limited all my genesis
Intentional heresey knowin where I damn well better be
Make way for da change never forget where ya came from
Fuck where ya day one was, aint gonna change none
Cant exist on a back burner, fast learner,
sometimes they aint bright enough, sometimes they aint mature enough
I formulate as i contemplate space time
You moderatin who da best so who dafuq waste time
My Makro equals Planar, epar if on my radar
See hard n target data, quazarian years latah
Pay da, rent to da super, hater you sweeter than you competetin in a cake off, I got cake off
Cant break off rust devices impede movement
Urgency sees to it, i’m foolish n seek improvements
Free ons everywhere, he’s on but never cared
Never buys clothes but strobes rooms wit debonair
Babies cry "new!" get they storks sniped forthright
“maybe”s “I”s and “U”s never work right despite
the worst intentions / common conventions / relentlessly boring
whoring attention n worse claim itta life sentence
delusion complete for me confusions are frequently
opinions of most locked deep sworn to secrecy
helluma do down there, haven’t already done,
or am I already done, cuz I’m cruising to ruin 1

Sonic Responses,
laden my floors like moth balls in the halls of my conscience,
soften that gloss kid,
glamour n glitter put a hold on ya god’s front office
pocket taunts, n instapuns,
“daunt” cuz easy’ll miss the fun
pawned ur first dream, moniker’s clean,
omniversing is a bitch to fund
Brundle Fly minus vomit n bad skin
humble pie (buoy!) tossed in a trash can
oblique and negatives obsolete,
portal forward’ll be da file I keep
the foul wind of da critics blew,
molded in iron in fire while I sleep
n pump fire thru firewire
ta tumble da spires of dead liars,
shootin from the hip just multipliers,
leaving in my wake immolated empires
simulate high regard private business
except the instant it’s pirates business
you think bitch shit, / I think richness
prescription for the 3rd eye thickness
cum stimulate envigorate my cables
neanderthals / in love wit fables
The man to call will turn da tables,
tech 12’s a plane, making mel able
Marowitz, harwitzers shoots elixir
that means something mister, it’s in print sir
Pay attention tension sharp like ten-ginsu-knives
swappin cribs n wives-
incandescent proposal and a list of lies
Fists will fly when the piss is dry
Was reluctant, to give somethin
This structure should never’ve been constructed
take umbrage to humble-less cum-quicks
age of pull-itics machine built Lundgren’s-
nom-mineroligist,
wont stop the paint from dryin in the halls of the colleges
etymologists-dis parity obvious between da follies of
the past like Atari is
….the budget for the year is settling
….curmudgeon when outsiders meddling
…you budgin if the wives are measuring
… cluster inside the hives of hell n bring
more darkness, stark parked-car carmas
opposite side rule (in effect) across barnyards
mass martyrcide across quadrants
….accost vermin who get lost w garmins
boss germs n cunts cause alarmin
…the fallout is nuclear napalmin
you’re all loopier see texts n calling
appalled disgusted communiqué’s fallin
..why bark ‘bout ballin
contrast buy glass slipper but always fail ballroom
…ya strategy’s not karma
bombastic caustic baby calm down this just warm-up->
mental midget should sold a widget
can’t paint da picture of da future without digits
I’m executing the ruler without limits,
the cooler that I spin it, the duelers are outfitted

Flippin the switch on starry eyes on starry nights
Like lungs that die n carbonize, lead double life or is it seperate lives, so clone the prize My open eyes have porn inside override my soul inside
Odyssey is Homerized-Meaning my homeboys are polarized-
Dystopize utopias from moms and dads divorcin us, they did they best? Fuck that! They still will try to horseshit us
If I'm accountable, ur accountable, dont try to change it up and call an audible, the salt in the wound is soluble, molly is folly highs hollywood
Premiers, cheap beers wit grief tears get beat here, u peed where? I see clear, a high five-eyed bee stare
No peace there, midlife's here, though some would argue that death's near, poltergeists on tvs appear, swearin n tearin the bare cross here?
Victimized mentality Is really BITCH totality
So Spare me all the airy fairytales of harsh realities
Take ya hands out of the plates of the needy you're bein greedy
Cuz if you bitch out, who witch
Check me by the horizon-risen occasion’s life’s surprises
Pickin off puny psychos ridin unicycles n blindness
Amuzing fused w fuckery, radio mimickery, clone on clone crime
Till you know why you remembered Soundin doper on ya alone time-
ya so “wiiise”…My scorn flies no fam lines,
cause inside I misfired Self analyze till I piss fire
this fat tire here / satire / over indulge / pacifiers
made liars / outta liars / cats admire dat hellfire
all the voices, kill em all of em, fuck these choices, see I’m tossin em
frauds deploy applause anyway, fuck em at da wholesale cost of em
dey glossin n flossin n non-stop reinforcement
wack sauce dat day can’t wash off wit they own horseshit
why comment-on-it, like commit to failed routes of doomed comets
it’s a fool’s college, tryin to pool dat cool knowledge
abolish ya comic strip scripts stinks of childishness
nom and his obvious misfits record scratch polishes

Voyagers never travel to install another king’s kingdom,
You brought me this far why can’t I show you the song I sing tho
Broken / thee eternal silence crack naivety’s violence
The bold stranglehold convinced you that this is all righteous
You were humbled n holed up inside a the walls of diplomacy, you crumbled n folded up, like the tents that supposed to shelter me
Ovaltine, nutrients iron rejection hovers over me
Hopefully, dissipating with time and coming back close to me
I miss you like deceased best friends now it’s the bits I bite
Comedic comic strips I write complete with ominous tips are tight
I thought the neverending story was the one between me n glory
But now I see the court jester is responsible for the goriness
Homliness, no such thing when the love is pouring over this
I told you Chris, science is the mark of a God laborious
Holy shit, I may not ever show you that this hole exists
Fast forward quick into horizons void of lonliness
Like a distant tailed star you landed here from afar, didn’t consider who you are, gave it all to ya kids n god
Just wished you woulda held on to knowledge of self, the true bountiful wealth, how else you felt the need n you knelt except when you floggin the belt
sorry I tore up your guitar sheets, my karma’s cheap
sibling harm to leave unscathed / that’s an alarming feat
charming treats you spoiled me soiled attempts of foiling plans, oiling can to men made out of tin, in a recoiling land
a voyeur can, easy like Monday quarterbacking
but now the flow is mezmorized pressurized explode like fracking
slacking never role model clever maintenance endevours
I’d accompany you first hand loving you stoking the glowing embers
chest down on a cliff’s edge reaching until my wrists bled, misled instead you chose an olive branch snapped death self assisted
I’m here for you forever more, more than I can explore
so smell the chloroform and sit tight, lesson’s began at four

The market’s so saturated,
and everyone’s overrated
Makin beats is childs play,
so who the fuck are we anyway
You don’t have a chance in hell to make it in this biz (dafuq you say)
Virtually impossible, full throttle arrogant christs no apostles
Dime a dozen bangers by definition that’s too hallow
Think we da man when only friends are fans, molested
Thrown n a getaway van but u still investin man
Don’t get it fucked up, you’re an MC
Not a pioneer, scientist, or MD
Egos inflatable, up for debateables
Hateable mainly ya dues couldn’t pay my cable bill
Checkin dem thoughts of being a genius at the door
Cuz if life’s a bitch, then to music youzza whore
Before the next time you say "fuckaz aint ready"
Realize there’s no prize for you just confetti
A whole lotta sparkle, but charred like charcoal
Like gargling marbles, that’s a fuckin marvel-----
In solace You promised not to end up like me
But ya forget, I didn’t end up like me
Ya see the Inner hate forms in centers
breaks off in Ever-y direction
call myself out in recordings of perfection
or so we thought until election day is coming wondering
prepped for a good drudging for all these fanfares and drummings cuz
Maybe I lost the concept of rap lyrics
Maybe my boss’s boss laughs at my limits
Maybe the cost of slow suicide prohibitis
that maybe I see the day when I’m one with my spirit
I’m past the poor bastard facet to pass go n gain assets
You slather it on like lather when you pass it
It stinks on the skin but for the mind it’s like acid
Cuz I’m flacid from advertised static, and I’ve had it
oh the humanity!! I peel it away to find a display
of self hate and vanity
oh the humanity!! I see every day
pulls me away from my moment of clarity
there’s no turnin n graves, ash in an urn
no learnin the trade, just more weapon caches to burn
each step is a world crushed with a master’s to earn
now I’m past the point last I was, new habit to learn..cuz

Be on the look out, destinies get took out, the more pious the spirit the clearer rear mirror lookouts
outcast past is beneath da bridge still stings a smidge, u steerin clear of da peers n feer of weaknesess,
talkin bout bein great's a far cry from bein great, damn that verse was dope but why u still in amoeba state
Cant blame you, idols r deadbeats too, i aint insane dude, hate brews inside the same crews
Cuz if u talk like, ya nah mean like,
Then thats three strikes, for homaging fisher price
I'd be more swoll at my pops than at the cops, cuz apparently street props cant educate a seed ack
Nor can they fertilize crops, they empty weed promises, far from the realm of harmlessness, confused compasses
Dont have to live thru it first hand to know it man, cuz if i cant then on the corner my kids'll stand
from negative to positive, easily be a hologram, look at the time of ya death and hows the model livin man
Progress can measure mental and be an incremental, but a minor seed dropped by parental aint accidental its a
Natural defense, even nations blame neighbours, killin prisoners in the name of arcane favors
aint wise beyond years just tired of dryin tears, cancer vibes when ya can't survive "cants" n "i swears"
Focusin too much on them and not enough on you, i tried to be there but you said that you was doin you
I aint sh man its just a poor narrative, body gone degenerative, wiling my final verbs words impressionist
I thought i made it / see that my daughter's sacred, but now that da scar tissue's a part of my daily matrix
Im pacin, balancin street knowledge and basics, seekin secret combinations, supplements aint replacements

You shoulda never pulled my draws down
Overworn, hover over warmer ground, it’s all around
Who are the mourners now, Port Authoritive
Ornate until it’s fortified, born in cynic borderlines-
In a life that’s a live computer, lie n barter my harbored feelings to
Wise amuser, a kind abuser
Wit a mind that’s a rewrite of the Kama Sutra
Take too much credit havin spent too much debted “don’t lie accuser”
Dangle carrots, woe to wholesome merits
Pinch me we’re aware it’s a clone when my clothes are tearin
You funny like that, hell awaits as a brick layer
Fiery pits dare you to fare in abyss air
Kindred spirit gets stripped of skin layers
Made it outta the woods, bears shit n piss scared
I’m never too late, but for you it is to me,
Watch how i’m choosin what the human is to be

It comes to us, each n every single one of us
We accept it but thinkin it's hectic no longer fun for us
Tragic each time cant wrap around its circumference
Hello to pale yellow like blown clouds (of) sulphurus
Dust to dust praise those who left us a role to crush
Embrace the calvary, those that trot among us, till they clock is up
Amount to what? Expunge ya record? psst you're out of luck
Work hard n count ya blessings n not your lousy bux
Shallow ways lead to shallow graves
So keep the battle rage goin flowin until Marrow decays
Pharoah like confusion organized
Narrow like arrows, even short lived sparrows will soar da skies
Any flight data outweighs a poor disguise, that’s why alphas eat betas
With closed eyes for enterprise
The real sacrifice is no sacrifice at all
Rest in power Mr Do Work it comes to us all

Cold wars begin with the beheading of relatives
Resting on laurel predators, praying for moral precedence
Polishless thought colleges, trends all but abolished
Mutated common sense plus you lack honest friends
We make pages of plotted points that're marked on your graph
Study the craft only to turn slowly toward the mass
Where the only thing hot is the steam shooting out of your ears
A fool's not with his peers when cool's not what he wears
Although he solemnly and often slovenly swears
A not so obvious compromise the demise of his fears
Smartest noise ever made was the choice to remain silent
Terminal noise divin', spiralin', all with sane pilots
Exhibiting once thriving now dwindling rap display
Prohibitive when inquisitive individuals ask "why rap this way?"
Preserved like sodium, put on blast up the podium
Mineral material solid-state rock rhodium
You forgot that mouth's the gateway to brain space
Span, for every bar you waste, you lose real estate
----
Must be real nice, livin' it up
No backbone for the life, 'cuz you givin' it up
Not for art, smartass, nor for love of the craft
Parts are marked, come as you are, watchin'em fall fast
Shame, what a shame, is the claim to fame
When I watch men rack their brains when their cranium's plain
With all the blunderin' blunt highs, what it means in itself
No wonder why they truly don't believe in themselves, oh well
Basically breakin' what your patiently waitin' for
Makin' them faces like, you makin' a statement, too late bitch!
Gravity pulls easiest those whose dishonesty
Abbreviate policy to be "down", decline constantly
Falling faster than the pound of old gold
That you thought bold in exchange for pound of your own soul
And so what! you baffled a basket case batch of baffoons
Turned "know i'm gonna make it's" straight to "damn I'm gonna need cash soon"s
Of course you rant that you can't understand what he's sayin'
When the man's writing hand's worth more than your damned education
Ignore the math? now feel the wrath, it's a cold wind, ain't it?
Sur-round trip fare paid tricks of gimmicks of desperation
Patience soul mischievous since '93, drive Infinity's
Rock at Mach 10 while you mock delivery
