Scars Run Deep

[Verse]
I can't get enough of these rhythms
My skull is phobia ridden
Cool on the surface so the fear it stay hidden
What scare me the most, is when I don't feel I fit in
It's awkward, I notice you probably don't see the symptoms
I mean I'm itching, I'm scratching it seems my skin is reacting
My heart it stay bumping, over the track
A stream of conscious when I rap, ain't a word I'm taking back
What's the purpose over that, as long as morals stay intact, yo
Scars run deep through my whole fucking anatomy
Scars run deep through my whole fucking anatomy
Scars run deep through my whole fucking anatomy
A troubled past is passing me, future not in reality
Caffeine over calories, depleted energy
Watch me catch a second wind, I'm sprinting fast from A to B
And you know that be my solace, with my feet up sipping tea
Cause it's anguish running rampant, run until I R I P, uh
Cold hearted, you don't want no beef started see
Then my blood boil at a higher degree
I feel you plotting, why you eyeing on me
You can get it like some cheddar, get shredded at ease
I watch em fall like the leaves
In peak autumn, watch ‘em turn and switch on ya
Seems the snakes stay lurking even after lawn shortened
It must be that some serpents, function three sixty-five
And if your back stay exposed, they have the means to survive
So I’m cloaked up, ain’t nobody getting through to me
How he jumping to the top, but come second like Luigi
Pockets is green though, lettuce and jalapeños
And a few bad bitches just to satisfy the ego
Rugged on the inside, imma keep the ends tied
Go and mind your business it ain't nothing to see
Surface looking proper, circus running beneath
The elephants is running rampant, you in the way of stampedes

[Verse 1]
I'm ashing cigarettes, and I ain't even smoke ‘em
Reciting lyrics, and I ain’t ever wrote ‘em
Feelings got me fucked up, like the bottom of the totem
As I struggle with my strength, they on my back, I’m trying hold em
Hold it back is what they told me, hold them back is what they told him
Hold my bag if he got problems, I won’t hesitate to fold him
Everyday I’m in the laboratory, perfecting my potions
Pot bubbles, witches brew, please stand back it just might scold him
Holding gold inside my heart, I stay true straight from the start
Seems as though our stars aligned, but we are planets apart
My plans is just looking candid, cause planning for me is hard
Rather life be unpredicted, thats just breeding grounds for art
Its really getting to me, shit I’m often mellow moody
Searching for my chest of rubies, no I do not want you doobies
Sound is off, I’m watching movies, fuck you doing talking to me?
You should walk up out of here, sorry I can’t hang with goofies
[Chorus]
I set em up to knock em down like dominos
I set em up to knock em down like dominos
They snaking round the city, they gon’ fall like dominos
Watch em, watch em fall like dominos
I set em up to knock em down like dominos
I set em up to knock em down like dominos
They snaking round the city, they gon’ fall like dominos
Watch em, watch em fall like dominos
[Verse 2]
I’m back by popular demand, so I demand attention
Another message for ass, so I hope you learn your lesson
Indecisive like a curse, always stuck on second guessing
Like my gut don’t ever work, or my psyche just don’t trust it
Aye, I’m in cycle with some weed liquor
My innocence could not leave me quicker
I’m on the hunt, searching for elixir
Or a better way that I could live forever
Forever ever, all I’m really after
I know my body is just matter, it don’t really matter
Shit get sadder if you let it, superficial habits
Fall victim to the pattern, now your soul distracted
[Chorus]
I set em up to knock em down like dominos
I set em up to knock em down like dominos
They snaking round the city, they gon’ fall like dominos
Watch em, watch em fall like dominos
I set em up to knock em down like dominos
I set em up to knock em down like dominos
They snaking round the city, they gon’ fall like dominos
Watch em, watch em fall like dominos

[Verse]
Woke up pretty early taste of blood in my mouth
I’m out the door with my shorty, after spitting it out
I ain’t brush my teeth, pop a tic-tac, its pretty sweet that
Pale denim sliced contrast with the knee cap
Motivated still, by the grungy motherfuckers
Who surfaced out from gutters, ran with something cause they loved it
Turning nothings into somethings, you still act like you above it
You ain’t never been as low as where you learning something from it
These are raps from out dungeon, came to slay the dragon
Prepare to feel a flow loose like pants that fit Aladdin
You are softer than some satin, beware of the assassin
He hunting for the weak on which he deal batch of damage
You can’t handle it all, you ain’t found if you lost
I won’t count on a cross, I sense your prophet is false
I know it ain’t no ones fault, but have you gave it some thought
The answers probably not, that only thickens the plot
And pot bubbles, please don’t let it boil over
No use wasting tears steady crying on the coldest shoulder
Cheese scented, know my pockets holding dairy odour
Meditative thoughts make me levitate like master Yoda
The force is strong with this one, a psychoactive vision
Your luck is nonexistent, you stupid with superstition
Compelling and he gifted, most his clothes you know he thrifted
Moses flow through open waters, pocket gold from sand he sifted
The speech like venom innit, heart and soul that shit cemented
Better know that word is bond so if I said it then I meant it
Leave you pessimistic, with these raps as fresh as spinach
Eyes popping, I deliver and you get the message
Clean finish, like I’m licking the plate
DNA lack bitch, want beef I serve steak
Get your earth quacked quickly, skull spun like frisbee
If the funds don’t come, then they must not get me
I’m ill, parasitic, like it’s rotting the flesh
But within the same breath staying lemony fresh
Type to scream fuck 12, till’ I’m meeting my death
And if that day come soon, know that hell will be blessed
Yes
You in the presence of peasants
Guess it’s the essence of adolescence the way I’m protesting
Must got me fucked up
Fist balled, cause anyone getting roughed up
Watch how you move in my den son, get lunch rushed
Respect get earned round here
If you thinking you cold, get burned round here
Please
Respect get earned round here
If you thinking you cold, get burned round here

[Verse]
Hope you feel stupid like dunce cap fitting tight
Better make a run from the beast it’s coming out at night
When he on the mic you can catch him spitting dolomite
Bass shaking vases and wrecking shit like a poltergeist
Raw fish let it slice thick
Like the bitch booty quick to be pressing on my dick
It’s natural instinct like flatulence it stink
Thats a reference to the bud stuffed into my spliff
Sheesh, I got pockets leaking currency
Wallet dripping fifties like I just committed burglary
Precision with the writtens, on the stage performing surgery
You’ll never catch me slipping see I’m only ever flourishing
But you, your doom is inevitable
Better sprout some wings soon, chugging the reddest of bulls
Got me feeling slumped like the cannabis edibles
Damn that shit deadly like they lacing with fentanyl
No need to tell me, I’m well aware of my higher level
Performing in a blonded form, this my saiyan special
A young alchemist making gold out of instrumentals
Powers is telekinetic warping and bending metal
Around the bend again, brain bursting with mescaline
Death on the horizon due to wishes made by many men
Awfully menacing, taste of my own medicine
Poisoning annoyance stop me short of ending sentences

[Verse 1: Vince The Messenger]
Kicking over tables, make some room for me
Kicking down your doors, shit I heard you had some loot for me
Punching into ears, shit I rap the way a tuba speak
Swank it drip like syrup, but I promise you ain’t nothing sweet
Black and static how they colour me
My psyche have me acting all erratic when I burn the weed
Reason for your murder, shit thats something that your purse could be
So hand it over easy, look I’m only here for currency
Cut the bullshit, you know how we ranking (uh)
Skanking it easy, its easy we skanking
Easy as E when he left with, whole lot a questions unanswered
Quest to the top of the bucket, posers imposing your sanctions
Thank him, he the reason for your new enlightened mind state
Slime get to tripping, then we quick to raise the crime rate
I’m late, never, sport the Casio for time sake
You can probably catch him swinging through the jungle like a primate
Now look who moving smoother than criminals
Never clear case cut, cause his message subliminal
Ou that cranium leaking something, and oozing all over em
Let it flow to your veins, doses of audio-opium
Potent punches to your stomach, striking low, you never ducking ‘em
Ducats in his wallet, why you startled at the sight of him
punches to your stomach, looking low, you never ducking ‘em
Ducats to your wallet, why you startled at the sight of him
[Verse 2: Marquis & The Squid]
Startled by the sight
Of the kid
With the pink on his head
Like the pussy in the bed
Shorty grippin’ on my squid
Leave me drippin’ till I'm dead
Teach a lesson to these kids
Don't be messin’ the squid
Leave you wit no high tonight
Blow up like we dynamite
Out of orbit out of sight
Multiply like bad like bad advice
Parasitic y’all parasites
Tunnel vision on the fucking product
I be fucking damned if I die tonight
No snakes shits airtight
Watch for them snakebites
Despite what they tell you
They creepin’ in daylight
These rappers is playing
They think that I play nice
Think l won't bite ‘em and leave em for tailpipes
[Verse 3: Lil Slime]
A year ago I woulda said I’ve been in love before
But now I’m knowing’ better than to trust what my brain take me for
Got one foot out the door
But the other stuck back in the porch
I’m tryna make sure that my lights is on
Don’t care about a Porsche
If shit had stayed on track right now I’d be in Raleigh
But this life ain’t owe you shit
Ain’t got yo back, and it’s not sorry
I just wanna say I’m sorry that I ever put my faith in you
I let this happen twice, forgot you always drop the other shoe
Pliers gripped in my fist yanking out my fucking teeth
Whats the use of all them shits if I ain’t got the bread to eat
Puncture my lungs cause I’m done caring if I fucking breath
I’m through with this world, I wanna rest in peace 6 feet

[Chorus]
He got the world inside his hands, now what he gon’ do
We got the world inside our hands, now what we gon’ do
You got the world inside your hands, now what you gon’ do
I got the world inside my hands, now what I’m supposed to do
[Verse 1]
I been thinking like, I don’t wanna live this life
Not the suicidal type, but maybe I ain’t living right
Feeling passion dying if they pin me to this nine to five
Survival just for nothing if you just don’t ever feel alive
Feelings that I kept inside, trapped inside this mind of mine
Bottled up, the bottles up, swallow all that sits inside
Wallowing in sorrow, son you’ve only got yourself to find
Self to blame, self to hate, self sabotage in every line
Shit, I’m too quick to dismiss it, my fear is that I’m too different
But too akin to make difference, you see I’m trapped in this system
You paint me black as a villain, in hopes that I do become one
So you can curb and destroy me, you call me urban and clueless
The fact of the matter I know exactly where clues is
Steady exposing your bogus, you can’t mistake for stupid
You slipping, I see it leaving, you worried you’ll lose it
That karma does harm you if you have proved you deserve it
I set my people free, I plan past mediocrity
I’m socrates, the way that I embody this philosophy
Stopping me, thats hard to see, unless you plan on offing me
An offer to the most high, still dripping blood on the leaves
I feel it, but it’s something missing, shit can change up in an instant
Had these dreams like since an infant, dreams of being something different
So fuck who just can’t see the vision, fuck who just can’t see the vision
[Verse 2]
Look I done came out the dirt, my bones sandstone
And I know how it hurt, my family lost home
My life on the line, I’m at a crossroads
The road I take, less traveled on, all that I know
Fuck it, I ain’t into this, sinning I ain’t innocent
Scholar was not an interest, he rather blow on the internet
Indigo higher intellect, brain matter been heaven sent
So if you looking for me, I’m knocking at the pearly gates

Mr. Sun

[Verse 1]
Brought it to fruition, I’m reminiscing ‘bout simpler days
Its really been a minute since I been high off the haze
I’ve really been a victim, you can tell in my face
They spit in my face, they curse at my race
The race is still on though, roll it up in a Fronto
Leaf, let me leave I ain’t really into all those
Fumes you consume, so I’m out the room pronto
I’m gonzo, out in somewhere you can’t follow
They follow the leader but thats a dying breed
Some rather get lost than lose, rather die than grieve
And I feel it, I don’t - fear my spirit, I don’t hear their lyrics
I know - they not sincere with, what they telling you
Sipping water trying find my way to hidden truths
Its cause of them that we won’t ever get to see our roots
I call that treason, if they really for the people, if they really for the freedom
Why they seem to want to let ‘em lose
And never seem to want to let us loose
Entrapped so often, I started thinking I tied the noose
So little options, so I never had to pick and choose
You not me, so don’t preach ‘bout what I should do
[Chorus]
The sun gon’ shine when it want to
They can’t decide what you won’t do
You live your life, and that’s on you
You live your life, and that’s on you
The sun gon’ shine when it want to
They can’t decide what you won’t do
You live your life, and that’s on you
You live your life, and that’s on you
[Verse 2]
I had to drop it just to pick it
Momma noticed I was different since the sippy cup
Diplomatic in my pampers, who gon’ pick me up?
And pat my back, while acting out because I had enough
Always had an eye for better days
Waiting patiently for Mr. Sun to dry the rain
Some days he never came, I learned to hide the pain
Now I’m twenty something trying not to hydroplane
[Chorus]
The sun gon’ shine when it want to
They can’t decide what you won’t do
You live your life, and that’s on you
You live your life, and that’s on you
The sun gon’ shine when it want to
They can’t decide what you won’t do
You live your life, and that’s on you
You live your life, and that’s on you

Menace
02:29
|

[Verse]
Menace to society, less that, more a menace to myself
These demons is coming quickly, administer help
Administer medications to heighten my health
Walking through shadows with impeccable levels of stealth
Heart beating through the roof, skull aching through the tooth
Starring at the ceiling shouting beetle juice, beetle juice, beetle juice
Deuce deuce packed up in my Stuss pouch, ask “how come?”
Got a date with Satan, still I’m panicked by the outcome
Trash up in my mind, I try to sprint but can’t outrun
And fuck being outdone, never settle for a secondary spot
Rather catch a murder case, then hit the pen to sit and rot
So my only other option, grab the pen then sit and plot
To maneuver round these losers, in my way of getting guap
Get the fuck up out my face, shit you got my skull hot
Steaming like a kettle, but my tea gon’ make you froth
And my team gon’ make you drop, face them facts, you at a loss
So pick yourself up off the pavement fool, you looking stupid
And I know these hoe’s love me, like my shotta named cupid
Boy you gotta be clueless
You know I got the magic, watch me take off on this broomstick
Who’s next? We empty them full clips
For the fun of it, sorry hun I’m hardly functioning
A bit depressed but overcoming it, eye lids is like some onion skins
Tearing over dumbest shit, like look at what you’ve done to them
Ain’t in to politicking, into overthrowing governments, I’m done with this
[Chorus]
Mind full of trash, garbage leaking out the mouth
Li-litter as I stumble, please somebody see me out
He not a danger to the public, just a danger to himself
Like his finger on the trigger, and the barrel on his snout
Mind full of trash, garbage leaking out the mouth
Li-litter as I stumble, please somebody see me out
He not a danger to the public, just a danger to himself
Like his finger on the trigger, and the barrel on his snout
Mind full of trash, garbage leaking out the mouth
Li-litter as I stumble, please somebody see me out
He not a danger to the public, just a danger to himself
Like his finger on the trigger, and the barrel on his snout

[Verse]
Aye I’m under water with niimo
Fuel for the thought like I been spitting up diesel
Food for the soul, how they quick to see it as evil
We peaceful people illegally treated unequal
Our time has run out, quick get your gun out
Wait till sun down, when they come round
Empty those rounds, panic and gun sounds
How that sound? How that sound?
Ain’t no safety in numbers
Dead asleep, I feel more secure in my slumber
I’m not at ease, seems this stress is doing me under
My attention she arrest and I come alive when I touch her
Most definite ill, no gun but I kill
Swallow red or blue pill, find if matrix is real
We in heaven or hell, am I foreigner still
Your only power is will, and I’m wondering how you deal
Life to me is surreal, expressionism surrealist
Speaking as I’m the realest, won’t ever ask your forgiveness
They taxing us just to kill us, truth told it don’t make a difference
Powerless against the gods, the end has always existed
And the world ain’t what it seemed to be
Speaking to my younger self, I expected more from me
I know the planet in my hands, and my plans to take it forcefully
Can’t do it on my own, shit I’ma need some more of me
Rallied at my back, an army revolutionaries
The crew heavy and ready to get at whats needed
They ain’t win if they cheated, I know you feeling defeated
Just know that victory’s coming
And that evil gon’ plummet
We on our way to the summit
Wave bye the pain that you stomach
Just know that victory’s coming
Just know that victory’s coming
Just know that victory’s coming
Just know that victory’s coming
Just know that victory’s coming

[Verse]
I think I lost feeling all in my right brain
Epiphany hit me up on the night train
Liquid elixir, gold is carried through my tight veins
You may not live forever, but you gon’ be alright mane
Ain’t ever had no lessons from a wiser man
I am the only reason that I am
Killing shit quickly, with inner visions, like son of sam
Murder beats sporadic, tossing stones then hide the hands
How inventive how we get caught up in other worlds
I left my own life just to feel something new occur
And that’s funny ain’t it? The length we go to feel amazing
Deny Christ candidly, they assuming you worship Satan
I’m losing patience
Like a shaking surgeon, man I’m really losing patients
Can’t you see how time is wasting?
I see the top as though it’s vacant
Though I’m feeling low as basements
Trapped and stuck being complaisant
I ain’t worried how your day been
Worried how you plan on paying
Debt creeps and cause enslavement
All of that without the slave ships
On the shoulder lays the same chips
On the soldiers weigh the same clips
We pushing boulders up the mountain
For forever repeat them same things
[Chorus]
Black coat blowing in the wind motherfucker
I’ma win motherfucker, asking when motherfucker
Black boy stand against wind motherfucker
Like the whole world don’t wanna see him win motherfucker
Cashed out, trying to see them ends motherfucker
Counting M’s motherfucker, how it ends motherfucker
Blacked out, all against his will motherfucker
Like the whole world wanna see him killed motherfucker
Black coat blowing in the wind motherfucker
I’ma win motherfucker, asking when motherfucker
Black boy stand against wind motherfucker
Like the whole world don’t wanna see him win motherfucker
Cashed out, trying to see them ends motherfucker
Counting M’s motherfucker, how it ends motherfucker
Blacked out, all against his will motherfucker
Like the whole world wanna see him killed motherfucker
