The Crossing 03:27
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

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?

Edamame 02:41
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
