[Intro]
Eyes closed, and the fog is thick, can't you see?
Look into my eyes, picture that Sharingan, eternal sleep
What?
[Verse 1]
K i D, second D is silent, what's the point, where's the tip
This iceberg is slight work and I might swerve and hit a ship
If you didn't notice I'm in an ocean, why? I must be misplaced
Can't wait until I can see your face, I'm drowning in a sea of grace
Never can I measure up, no medicine in my metal cup
Say let him up, and he takes a breath
(Step away from the microphone!)
Chocolate rain can you feel the pain, let's keep it Frank
This ocean's deep, last year I was slipping
My mind was gone and my soul was weak
But I'm here, aw yeah, I made it to a new year
Yeah suicide, was on my mind, straight tweakin', couldn't think clear
Forget about it, I'm past that, that last quack, like Aflac
Those phases fade like wearing little kid's backpacks
REMEMBER!?
Remember that? I remember, this lion's den, I'm Simba
My Kaio-ken is on times ten, these dudes sweet like Splenda
Urr, with the Tech N9ne growl
Everybody's thinking that this little dude here can't spit
Checking out the condition of Hip Hop
With a switchblade I could pick locks, open the crypt
Dead rappers come back to life, and that still wouldn't satisfy
I'm a let you finish but, I can go last like Malachi
No stressing, just asking for protection and wisdom
Though offerings are minuscule, if I hate when I give them
Trying to stay humble my stomach grumbles
I'm hungry for that bread, and they break it
But never eat it, instead they go straight to bed, like I said
Eternal sleep, eternally dead, internally weak, your soul is unique
But if you don't feed it you may get defeated, and faceless like Red, egh
Cochise if I'm on the streets, yeah calm mind, but I’m ready
If it pop off, I get knocked off, well I'm blood bought and I'm Yeti
That's all white, you can check the robes, my rags were black
That's Edgar Poe, just let it go, and be free, yee
But y'all don't really be free, see
RELT on the beat, that last letter's on Mr. T
Or, the same thing thing as the oldest wonder
And people are tripping over the mystery, but see me
I do not give a, hoot, you can go and ask Big Mama
The Fox and the Hound, lost then I'm found
What did the fox say, and no I'm not checking Fox News
Look into the mind of a killer that shot through
Insert Schoolboy Q ad-lib, Moshpit, in this twisted brain
Don't blink, when you switch the lanes, fit the game like a size 12
That means I don't really fit, but I mean regardless
I just make it work like forced puzzle pieces
Jesus, when they hear it, their ears will start bleeding
Go against God and try to prove, then lose what you really needed
Don't get defeated, just keep retreating from sin when it's creeping
Or you'll end up receding, questioning the things you believed in
Got to keep that faith strong, there's nothing to hate on
Bitterness can have you cooking that beef with an apron
You see I have no cape on, I'm no hero, I burn tracks like Nero
They try to teach me evolution, my name isn't Spearow
Ever so misunderstood, they could never understand
I can't walk with Jesus, and hold Satan with my other hand
Can't measure up to this standard, can't measure all of this grace
They hate what I believe in, throw stones and then I FADE

[Verse 1: KHB]
The Silent Killer repping The Sovereign King
Not doing this music for show biz
They never would have thought I’d collaborate with The Slow Kids
Well here it is, pick it apart, dissect it, examine
It's like diverse music is dying, or maybe facing a famine
Well, well, well, well, never felt euphoric, if I'm honest I’m mellow
Last time I can recall, was when I was just a little fellow
I was so happy, kick it at my grandpappies, watching cartoons
But looking to the past, can leave you hollow like a harpoon
So I, keep moving, keep positive, keep smiles on their faces
Beause when they're happy, I'm happy, even in the darkest of places
I have this hope that's in my soul, it's sowed and stitched in my spirit
I have this message, it's blessed, I surely hope that you hear it
Pick apart sin and point fingers, but never check our own
Remember, no need for judgement, leave that to Heaven’s Throne
I'm Heaven's own, this ain't my home, it's unclean needs hydrochloric
I know that when I go home, I'll feel oh so euphoric, yeah
[Hook]
Euphoric x4
[Verse 2: Sir Fabian of TSK]
Little did you know that I’m gone be the one
The ascending son from the sky above, I was put here to have fun
So watch me spit these words, I promise to do my best
I’m fighting to survive with these demons on my chest
But I see through the darkness, there’s a light for me to grab
In a life of much confusion, I’m just trying to understand
Why the sky is blue and the grass is green and we fighting without a plan
All we need is peace in a world of hate but I know that’s too much to ask
But either way I’m happy, euphoric in my ways
I’m floating in the sky, the most high, but don’t give me praise
My mind’s in such a daze and I’m feeling kind of lost
But, I got my homies with me and they all came here to ball
The Slow Kid and Heartbreak, elevating past them all
But don’t mind us, looking for the soul that's inside us
And I lust for a better day, a better way
I’m just trying to be historic
When I pick up the mic you know I’m feeling so euphoric
[Hook]
[Verse 3: KHB]
Wait, maybe I do feel it a little when a soul is saved
Smiling, beause I know they'll leave this place with a open grave
Man that's a good feeling, I'm feeling like I'm killing the former
Finally I can reach and teach then speak like I'm Tom Joyner
Sounding so happy, you can hear it, that's the joy that’s inside of me
One side of me's fighting me, but guess who’s winning, egh
Let’s get it, let’s get it, can't stop me, I'm on it, I already now my opponent
Lyrical insomnia, write tracks until the morning
Oh no, looking into the brain of the kid, and you get twisted
If you didn't know my track record then I can list it
No Feelings, Graduation, Spaced Out, was the last to make it
Then I switched up, Only The Begending, begin and the ending
Now that right there, was Misunderstood, told them Figure it out
I'm trying to do something no other would
Man, that's just the solo, look where God took me
Watching anime and playing games, now that's one odd cookie
Whatever, I'm stuck between a boulder and a wild place
This is the ultimate project, I told you to watch out for Cloudscape
[Hook]

Change Me
05:52
|

[Verse 1]
Nobody was every ready, very scary
When I'm about pick a pronoun, go wild
Wow, bow like Flocka, all these rappers
Talk about choppers, close it, frozen, heart, in my chest
Claim to be best, didn't pass the test, change those rhymes
Change that mind, change adds up when it's time, time out
Let's get it, Agent K, how he took me in
Look at me I'm so different now, buying vowels won't help
Whelp, payed for me with those welts, whelp
Can't subtract, what I already did
Already called for the kid, hello, beats so hype, still mellow
Bet they'd clown if I started rocking braids like Mello
Throwback, no Thursday, with The Weeknd wordplay
They say they thirsty, I got the juice, it's fermented
But don't get loose, yap yap, whoop whoop, that's Mensa
Collection of my skills like Pez dispensers
Collector's Edition with two microphones, and a portal to the 5th dimension
Warp
[Hook]
(Backlash from someone who doesn’t want to change)
[Verse 2]
Smart but I'm not that wise, wise enough to not believe the lies
I, don't need an extra eye, I, let you decipher it like American Pie
And we fly, oh so high, in the sky, Space Jam Jaye can't reach
Reach for the lost with arms like Mike
Want to be like Mike, those shoes won't teach
Change the game in slow motion, and the game try to change me
Cheats codes, oh you KB, or a bk, not a blood killer
But the bloods thicker than the skull of crazy
Rapper like you know, four, three, two, Uno, reverse it
Draw four more blessings and find out that everything's going perfect
Well, well, throw a hundred, and a sea shell in the well still, get, nada
Speak that truth till my voice sounds like The Devil Wears Prada
I've got a couple dollars and a nightmare
Where does that take me, see me clear through 4K not HD
Yee, still goody two kicks, shirt to match
I changed lot since back in the gap
Back when we rocked Gap, Fubu, and Tommy
Father and son like Stu and Tommy, that's what I'm 'bout now
About time, it's all about beats not about rhymes, well
I don't care, Peep the words, they get geeked and swerve
Blur
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Change is synonymous with love, whether it be the love from your heart
Or the love from above, this very same love can rip you to shreds
By the hands of one who you care for dearly
But that love, can also help you see more clearly
I'm not Angelou nor Robert Frost, get crushed by the cross
Like Mazel Tov, I hope not, I pray that you pray about praying
And not about reaching the top, can't stop, won’t stop
Bad Boy like Little Cease, scoot back and see how little you see
In the sky, you can see how little you seem
But it always starts with one, start it
Rappers talk about going dumb and retarded, that just might offend somebody
Fire for the Lord and they try to retard it, they just might give in
Somebody, help them, make them feel welcome
Don't hold grudges and hate in that mind
‘Cause if you continue, the force is against
Again you get colder than Ginyu, in due time
Who rhymes like this? not sure if it's my spiritual gift
I'm in it to lift, the name of The Light of The World
They tell me he doesn't exist, phooey, he runs it like he's Ratatouille
You'd understand if you really knew me, truly, take a, gander
I am, nothing like Ned Flanders
Open
[Outro]

[Verse 1]
Holding on to these promises, but I promise you that I'm hurt inside
I don't address these issues, so I guess it's no surprise
Look into my eyes, you'll see, truth mixed with lies, you'll see
These people are watching me, so it's really no privacy
And they put me up so high that there's no way I'll land straight
Staring into the sky, but attempting to paint the landscape
So my mind is a little twisted, it'll take some years to fix it
If there was an opportunity, well yes I surely missed it
Fish for attention and come out with some compliments
But I promise this, those very same compliments
Will never be, strong as the providence
Ubiquitous without Godemis, but they can really see we have God in us
Or can they, we make promises we don't keep and then bandaid
Or duct tape, that'll fix this, up quick, honestly I've never really felt love sick
Sick of this, I need to take a seat and think, I've reached the brink
Speak till my lungs collapse and throat is shredded
Please no lozenges, I'm sick of all this nonsense
But I'm standing on these promises
[Hook: Becca Watson]
Tired of fighting a fight that isn’t being won
So many ways to look, maybe it’s easier, if I just fall
I’m looking on you God, but I’m not sure that I can see it all
These promises I’ll keep but I need your strength to help me
To help me stand tall
[Verse 2]
This voice inside of me is speaking, and I can't tweak it
I can't turn it down, delete it, it's surround sound and I need it
I need it, it begs for more, I don't feed it, on my vocal chords
And I'm pleading, with my own soul and I'm screaming
Fighting, all these evil demons
It's a tug of war for my soul, and I feel so broken, weary
And I call to God, I'm at odds, but I know, that he hears me
And I've been running, walking, jogging, all of these different trails
A dragon with some missing scales, I really need to clip this tail
If I rely on me and do what I wanna, I'll end up looking stupid
Clueless, probably switching personas, they grab coronas
Say that it'll be alright if you drink it away, ay
No it goes away if I seek Him and pray
I'm getting so frustrated listening to what they're saying
Then I remember, that my God is past the craft of a Super Saiyan
My name can stand for many things, just like a homonym
But I will know Him better and that I promise them
[Hook]
[Outro]
They thought it was over x3
My field is covered in clovers
I don't need luck, cause I'm chosen, let's go
These promises

Try Stop Us

[Intro]
Collage
You Can't Stop me!
[Verse 1]
Huh, now who is that so nonchalant? Better check the guest list
I've been in for a minute, eyes pop, look at the topic, drop this
Little syllable symphony, epiphanies represented, amazing
Manifestation, blazing the streets with the heat, co-sign with divine
Intertwined, look at how I rhyme, they don't pay me mind
But it's not about me, it's his time, yeah Christ up, ooo wee
Who is he? No invite, peaking into my area to get a little insight
My right hand man is left handed, branded as Misunderstood bandits
Pipe tomahawk, what are you looking for, peace or war
No mere man can defeat the Thor
I say the Thor, because Thor is a god, lowercase
But there’s only one God, uppercase, ooo wait, cut to the chase
Back at it, dagnabit, Elmer Fudd couldn't snub the jack rabbit
Joining up, with the Social Club, that's savage
Small but I keep it heavy, like Black Sabbath
Egh, well isn't that tasteless, I used to be faceless
But now I see, used to be KiDD Heartbreak
But the heart got sparked, just call me KHB, yee
Really, on a, level, that they've, never, seen before
How a, 'bout we, tell em, about the devil, we endure
All white are these robes, oh, He got us
And He's quite the competition, try stop us
[Movie Sample: No Country For Old Men]
[Verse 2]
Try stop us, watch us, walk in here with no problem
Spread this truth, in my makeshift booth, ooowoo
The opposite of a goblin, we straight mobbing, well not really
Rolled with death way back, like Billy, Mandy, got connects
That's really, handy, I don't, really, care, yeah
Man I've been doing this longer than you could imagine
Wonder why I talk about visions, Imagine Dragons
Imagine, me dragging a radioactive dragon
I'm mashing, together so many things it's a habit
Kravitz, Lenny even knows that he's a Cinna
I don't need to fake it to make it or be winner
The middle of winter, when I enter, it's so hot
Not me, it's the fire from the eyes of the top
Yap, there's no stopping this, you really don't have an option
I'm Utonium, when I brain storm & I'm mixing up a concoction
Dark Paradise, rolling like a pair of dice, tearing up this
Bread of life, and I want this scripture to grip like vice, yikes
Warriors, come out to play and then we come out
They don’t want to play, okay, they know we won't fit in their place
It's like we're a whole 'nother race, they'll never replace
The Faithful Witness, they hope sooner or later we'll quit this
Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, nah, try stop us
[Movie Sample: No Country For Old Men]
[Verse 3]
Take a second to read into the meaning of 37, 7, 3, triple 7
Heavenly, better keep it, more deep and, vast than 7 Seas
They look for destruction and run into me, well
They creep and peak at me like I must be a maniac
I'm reaching for, 12th level, intellect, Braniac
Coming, hunting, searching for something
You better believe, take it with ease
You should warn your brothers like Animaniacs
Dedication to the F-22 Raptor, J E T L A G, move faster
To flee from these anomalistic rappers & disoriented
Like a captcha, see they can talk about drugs, money, honeys
And popping bottles all off in the club, but if I start to mention
In my intermission, a Godly composition
Then it's, too, religious prefer a, fake thug
But what's a thug to a military soldier, military soldier to the Lion of the Tribe of Judah
Spit it so quick and then they get to listening, can't decipher the peter piper lines
I'm not, picking peppers but luffas, so they can scrub away the sickness, get this
I'm coming with something more than a little entertainment, now that's dangerous
I'm trying to add on to this movement, try stop us, might get educated
I try to paint a picture that's beyond our visible spectrum
I try to be like Uzamaki, Hitake, or Ketchum
I speak so foreign to these listeners, they try to block us
But we're right here, try stop us, huh

Life Goes On

[Verse 1]
Everready, everybody else was never ready
Never have I been about the fetti, fed me something heavy
Now I'm full off of that truth, shackled in sin, he let me loose
Let me tell you something, no one person can nourish my roots
Ooo, pull it I dare you, see I'm not scared to be a martyr
Grab these nets and move forward, I'm not amazing like Carter
Guarded by the author, so I keep it going, no Arthur
Speak about the Advocate like Anakin was my father
Silly me speak in soliloquies, not aiming for this industry
Don't take revenge for me if somebody disrupts my symphony
It's plain and simple, keep the mediator in my mental
If you do the same then you can claim your place
Where there is no temple, I'm ready
[Hook]
Motivated by the greatest, you got it, your style is how you
Do it, show the world nobody can knock it, don't stop it
Get them asking how and why you fight so strong, look
Forward, no stressing, blessed, and you know that life goes on
On and on and on and on and x4
[Verse 2]
Superior, I already see that fear in ya, fear no man, but man
I bet your soul is shaking, Liberia couldn't match up
And you're steadily playing catch up, but not quite
Cause that Sun of Righteousness is too high, but he's so bright
UV rays don't burn like this, DYI you'll D I E
Place my hope in the longest rope, roller-coast on some Flyleaf
And land in a crazy land, that Peter Pan couldn't make it to
When I make it, face the Captain of Salvation and say I’m through
For the time being, I'm rhyming and spreading hope to the hopeless
Won't see me go through the motions, I made it out of that ocean
Now my feet are planted firmly and my light’s so strong
Never will see me negative, my life goes on and on
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Stop letting people take away your happiness, capture this
Paragraph and paraphrase it, make it ravishing
Cut back on that nonsense, no sense in you turning back
Real soldiers have battle scars, if you want a crown then earn that
I'm a solar flare to a polar bear, erupt and deconstruct
Breaking down these compounds, now calm down, can't even touch
I concave and implode then my soul is supernova
But it's no limit, sorry I thought I told you
Speak in partial parables, so pair me up with a person
Who understands my language, it's like I speak my words in cursive
I bet they curse and mock me like the one who sits on the throne
But I don't have a problem with it, I know life goes on and on
[Hook]
[Outro]

[Verse 1]
New year, aww yeah, I'm here, let's vibe
Roll, so, deep, in my one man tribe
Look into my eyes, I like to say that
So smooth when you play it back, old school like an a-track
Yeah, wait, let's get this straight, it's a new year
Walk through, are you new here, really hoping that you do steer
In the right direction, and you better wear the right protection
And you better learn the right lessons
I write to ignite my blessings, blessed
Is that, name, that I, hear, pain, in my, tears
And he, wipes it all away, ay
It's a, new, day, smile cause you can
It's all in his hands, it's all in his plan
Planets rotate and I'm still on this one
Won't make it to another, let's hang on
To each other, now I see, now I feel
And now I weep, now I speak
But nothing comes out
[Hook: Vita Luna]
You never knew that someone cared
You never knew that God was there
You never had to shed those tears
You never knew it was your year
[Verse 2]
These words, float in space, I let go, but I float in place
You see me? Brainwashed by your TV, hold more like a DV
DV, I feel like Eevee, so many forms
And I choose to choose the weak link
That's me, but He uses broken, and see I'm shattered
In a sea, I'm scattered, among these exotic, aquatic, bodies
I'm toxic, I need to stop it, I botch it up
And then they don’t understand, man
Misunderstood, partially purpose, let's lay on wood
Above the surface, I don't fit, so I'll let you live
Slip, into this ocean, and I give
My life is more than me and more than what I’m thinking
I think about these memories, while I’m sinking
I surface on the opposite side, a new life
A new I, and then I fly, so high in the sky
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Songs don't have to rhyme, I mean half the time
They don't make sense, why do you think I made this
Sometimes you just need to chill, no thoughts on fake and real
Not really many thoughts at all, just take a break and pause
Relax, yeah, kick back, give yourself some space
We're really in a messed up place, ay, we can make it better
One step, two, temporary, don't let it all stress you
It's a new year, new day, new mindset, new place
Me, myself, well I like to call it Cloudscape
Lost in these thoughts, but I bet I come out found
I am, not the King, but what's a, king without a, crown
I felt like that black and white clown, but now I'm back
And now I'm me, was blind, and now I see
And now I speak, with a loud voice
Giving it all up, that's a proud choice
Why not be positive, when I can
I don't need your soul searching
Because I already know who I am, yeah
[Hook]
[Outro]

Grown Ups
03:46
|

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Yee, yee, look at me, look at me, grown and I gotta get it
I've got a choice now, I've got a voice now, I think it's time I make my own decisions
On my own, I got this, got this plan in my head, bout to soar like a rocket
Rock this, 'til it can't rock, then I run like I can't stop, I can't stop
If I, hit the brakes, I'll break something, too late for me to take a turn
If you could take my place you'd understand where it is i'm coming from
Thirteen miles in one of these kicks will kick your whole reality
They look at me like what I'm thinking is stupid, they don't know the half of me
I have to keep, on this journey, what they say, it doesn’t concern me
Living how I'm living, no tripping if I end it on a gurney
Burning bridges I should have kept, I kept a log in my mental
Flooded with these memories that feel ever so detrimental
Lost my way but didn't lose my hope
It's just buried, needed a couple of ropes
Not people who hate and start cracking a couple of jokes
Like maybe I needed something, and I don’t know what is
Feel older but, they still treat me like I'm a little kid
[Hook]
I'm grown now, make it on my own now x4
My own choice, my own voice x3
You don't run me, nah you don't run me
[Verse 2]
Oh me, you don't know me, show me qualifications
Of how you understand my life and all the things that I’m chasing
I'm pacing back and forth just waiting for an answer
Let me know, and if you do not know the answer
Hang this up and let me go, let me fly
Yeah let me be free, try to read my heart like a EKG
Too complex, you can't understand or degrade me
UAV, always watching, collecting information
I just try to live my life, but people step in and change it
Or they try to, they say I got you, but they don't have me
I'm not you, and you are not me, you never will be
You feel me? I guess not, you never did, you never have
You never would, it never fails, another ride on this carousel
Ring around the runaway that couldn't stand it
I'm tired of this pain and I just want to leave this planet
Planned a grand scheme, but it didn't work out
I hurt so many people, how will it ever work now?
[Verse 3]
Misery crept around the corner and caught me
I joke about it but I partially just want to off me
I'm feeling awfully, wicked and broken, hoping some arms will be open
But they need to come to me, it's like the world is numb to me
I feel so dead inside, I feel so hopeless
Would anybody read about my journey if I wrote it roll it up into a story
Decorate it, make it pretty, fill it with glamour, no clamor
Would they show me some pity?
If I'm honest I feel bad for me, it's looking like the entire world is mad at me
I'm not glad to be a travesty, it's all I know
Or all I think that I do, living in the moment
Hit a kink and still will I move, huh
Show some love to me, I need some time
I'm trying to fix myself, you tell me that I need divine
Maybe I do, but maybe you should take some time listen
I'm bout to blow, I think I hear my mind is ticking
My mind is ticking x4

Only You
04:18
|

[Hook]
You
Only you, only you, only you x4
[Verse 1]
Only you break hearts like this, by the boatload and the cart like this
Start fires then walk away and leave girls with a little bitty spark like this
Come on, why you gotta be like that? Make me mad, when you speak like that
Game of love, and you just wanna skip out, no pain, for you, you just cheat like that
Not fair, yeah, I'm hurt, happy on the outside, inside crying
And when you told me you don't feel it I felt like I was dying
Clash of the Titans in my chest, Poseidon, saw me sinking
And my chest tightens, I try my best, but choke up when I’m speaking
Seeking reasons and answers, your silence kills like a cancer
Should have known better than falling for a hopeless romance
And I feel so dumb for picking you, instead of somebody who loves me
Felt so happy every time you smiled and laughed, then you hug me
And I fall deep into this euphoric feeling but now it's killing me
It would be better if you were in touch with your feelings, see
It's not that hard to tell me that you don't want me
And now the feelings that I showed you will definitely haunt me
I'm hurt and healing, I still love you but I need some time
To gather up my mind, I wish we could rewind
And have a fairy tale relationship, so loving and true
But see, I'm still only me, and I guess you're only you
Only you
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Exactly, I'm only me, not the, only one that can make you feel
Like love is real, give it time and just chill
Skilled in breaking hearts, a broken heart, with that I’m familiar
Had my heart broken, maybe that's why I'm such a stone cold killer
I take no pride in this, so many people confide in this, cold hearted psychiatrist
I need as much treatment as them it's crazy and lately, I've been thinking
That's something that I try not to, forgive the shooter
But can't forget how many times that they shot you
Maybe I'm stuck inside a mindset that I don't wanna leave
Surrounded by, oceans and seas, and I don't wanna breathe
Cause if I breathe, then I might drown
Even though I’m standing on land, two boats and plan
But too scared to go, don't know where I am
And don't know where I'm walking so why would I get someone
To tag along, another member of the vagabonds
I'm half gone, and half here, I was almost all gone last year
I don't think like these other people, misfit, and I adhere
To my faith, I'm trying to fix me with the help of Chief Shepherd
So pardon me, Panthera pardus, heart is far from a leopard
I used to trip and feel lonely, but never alone, that I see
You're beautiful you, and I'm still only me, yee
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Only you can save us both, deserved death, but you cut the rope
There's always hope, I know it, I proved that when I wrote it
No joking, both came a long way, without me knowing your past
I hope that you find peace and I hope I wasn't your last
Shot at love, black doves in my cage, rib cage trying to tame the beast
Broken heart for the lost hearts, and the lost souls in pain and need
Try to fake it like we feel so fine inside but really dying inside
And don't express it cause it's dog eat dog, they eat the weak
I'm tired of us acting like we don't have problems
Whether it's mental, spiritual, physical, let's try to solve em
So many people care but we don't wanna open up and speak about it
Suicide's so common in our age group but we keep it quiet
So many thoughts go through our mind on a daily
But we just get back in our corner, like Ronald "Champ" Bailey
And keep it stored up, three cages, two locks, and a bolt
Some missing screws, a power box with three switches
Maybe a missing fuse
No hidden clues, let's just take some time to listen up
People need ears, that's part of our mission, plus
Our dedication is defined by what we do
Look who had you in his arms, you know it's not only you

Hall of Fame

|

[Verse 1]
Put me on the chopping block, Bach to Bach, and compose
And I told them I was so cold, not with my skill, but right in my soul
I'm half past frozen, chosen to do good, but my heart is so wicked
Flip it over and see the history, it's sorted and listed
I must have missed it, they put me so high but I wasn't ready
I'm not used to this, this is ludicrous, I'm dirty like Nelly
This is heavy, I'm not conditioned for the purpose of this mission
Slipping, dripping with blood and tears and nobody will listen
Cause I, keep to myself, I don't fake it, I just hold it in
Legitimately happy when I'm rappin' or with my folks and then
At the same time, I'm just, not a people person
If you know me that might sound strange
But I'm strange and I know that's for certain
Perfect I'm opposite, but definitely an optimist
Not Optimus, I'm more like Megatron with a side of thoughtfulness
We're different, at the same time, we're all the same
I'm just a sinner, please don't put me in your Hall of Fame, yeah
[Hook]
Want to be the realest, ooo kill it, they all know I'm the coldest
Number 1 spot is open, coming for the top, cause I'm chosen, egh
It's all the same, that ball and chain
They all want a place in the hall of fame x2
So high, first place, I do it in the worst way
Have these other rappers, crying, begging me for mercy
It's all the same, that ball and chain
They all want a place in the hall of fame x2
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Egh, then I'm right back to it, don't need credit, don't need recognition
Blessed to listen, to the message I have been given, let's get it
Turning up, but turn up for what? Turn up till your turn gets spurned abrupt
Then what? Back up, did you learn enough? Enough of this stuff
Get cuffed by McGruff, and now it's time to rewind and think
Now it's no choice cause you reached the brink
Now it's no loss, cause you lost it all
But there's nothing to lose with this heavenly cause
Aww, my, God is so gracious and kind, he healed the sick
Went to the beggars, opened the eyes of the blind
So it's my time to show who I represent, He who was Heaven sent
Way more power than a president, angels all in his residence
And I'm getting in the resonance, and I feel it
Let us unite, be more coherent, hear it, come near it
This is a gift, no don't fear it
They say the good die young, crucified at a pretty early age
Tried to stone him, disappeared, so no early grave
We spit in his face, and add on to the whips, and the shame
Jesus Christ, the one and only in the world's Hall of Fame, yeah
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Lost souls, not lost causes, cause and effect
We pause for respect, but don't even know why we show our respects
Soldiers fought for our country, now soldiers fight for the blood
Not everybody, but a lot just want to live by the gun
No automatic hero passes cause you wanted to start blasting
Or it was your last resort, and of course, support from the dragons
That burn the lands into a barren state, we're in a barren state
Desensitized by the lies, disguised as defensive traits
Wait, what have we become, what are we thinking
And people just shut their ears if they hear that someone is preaching
Begin to weaken, then we crumble and it's nothing more
As normal people, how much of this stuff can we endure?
We once were pure, and now we seem so selfish
These people want the money, but then they'll end up helpless
Well check this, this sin, that sin, it's all the same
Let's glorify the King inducted in the Hall of Fame, he saves
[Hook]

I Used To Dream...
04:54
|
|||
[Verse 1]
Traded in all of these dreams for liquids that won't last
So, focused on the past, no, time to better your craft
Oh, needed some kind of escape, the only time you can feel safe
From yourself, from these thoughts, flood back in and repeat it all
Aw man, we used to dream big, now we dream for the money
Used to, be ever so innocent, now our minds declined
And hungry for something more, wicked and broken to the core
We never let our brain explore, we never venture
Cause pain is something we don't want to feel anymore
Of course the easy way out looks fun and free
Knockin' doors down, and showin' how to grind like Bun and C
But bunting won't win you the game, ridiculous claims
Like maybe if I sip a little then I won't have to think about all
The drama and drown out the pain, get ready for change
Aspirations had us happy, thinking that's how I'll do it
I'm tired of losing people to the pleasure of sipping fluids
Blew it out of proportion and now it's feeling hopeless
Thought about some people when I wrote this, put down the potion
[Hook]
I used to dream, I used to dream
But see things changed, man, I used to dream x2
[Verse 2]
Grew up way too quick, quickly sprint to the end of this life
Never extinguish this light, ever so bright on this night
This fight isn't over, come on over red rover, I'm calling Marco
Ralph Lauren might make you more of a poser
Stop acting like these brands can make you look better
Better make a choice, too concerned with how we look
Don’t exercise our voice, voices in our head
Telling us that we could never make it
Find out we're holding ourselves back
Too busy being complacence
Pacing back and forth, lost our head in these clouds
It's not the cause of puffing that loud, it's more like joining the crowd
Crowded craniums cracking under pressure, pressing buttons
Backwards, back tracking, track it back to where we lost all our stuffing
And filled it back up with the things that help us get by on a daily
Subconsciously thinking we're gods and no better than Ye
It's crazy, but still we compare our sins to one another and reason
I used to dream about living and now I dream about leaving
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
I used to kick it with the clique but then it wasn't clicking
Funny how things can change when you start to hear it and listen
Dear Mr. Christian get off your high and mighty, well alrighty
Guess it's time for me to be humble and just do it like Nike
Never notion to unnecessary negative cravings
Canvases covered in craters, imperfections get painted
Along with beautiful blemishes, bundle up it gets colder
Those things will prove to be hopeful, happy when it's all over
Questions wrapped in confusion, we choose, to google the answers
And get so many like Donder, Dunder, or Donner
But Prancer is never left out, we feel this is this best route
Can't look weak, so heads high, our hearts low, but our chest out
Mos Def, black on both sides, inside and outside
Of my world and this world, crimson cords, roll tide
Rolled eyes get no attention, whispered words are never heard
Day dreams, nightmares, bright lights and. Blur

Head In The Clouds
03:33
|

[Verse 1]
Ducking and dodging the cops and robbing if he feels the need and
Bruce Wayne, couldn't feel his pain, his deepest grievance
Hit the streets, and, got the hit the other weekend
A little bit of bleeding, he went ahead and walked it off
A cross, nah, he's feels like he's too deep, way too hood
And way too street, nothing like Meek, Mill, he doesn't vocalize it
But you can see it in his eyes, so it no surprising, no horizons
No dreams and hopes, they died a long time ago, like
"Mane what I need that fo?"
So, he walks the streets with a pep in his step
With death on his neck, "Oh well, I'm ready to go"
Ready to blow at any minute, grandma praying for him
Hoping he won't reach the limit, got a call from the OG
That a caddy's rolling slowly, too late he got hit by rounds
He had his head in the clouds, BOW
[Hook]
He had his in the clouds x3
Don't lose your head in the clouds
[Verse 2]
His little brother was a good kid, heard about that death and
Then he lost his lid, started hanging with the dope dealers to look cool
Didn't deal, didn't steal, he just wanted to chill and stay real, for real
Kicking at the park, past dark
When the black hoodies, came and sprayed, at all parts
He was hit three times, and one grazed his spine
But he’s not even sure if he's happy to be alive
And some preacher wants to talk about God, why didn't he save my brother?
Now you, wanna try to save me? No thanks man, there’s plenty others
But, in the back of his mind, he's really thinking about it
Where is he headed for now, if he, won't change his course
He might, lose his head in the, clouds, NOW
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Started thinking, talking to his grandma, grandpa saved
All started with a dream, that dream got shot down
By the gun of a misguided, violent teen, so, he dug into that scripture
He got the picture, and turned his life around
Try to, make it out, now, it's no need for that violent route
Gathered up kids who needed help, they just needed something besides this
Taught them how loving, caring, and gracious that his God is
And in time they started listening and they gathered a crowd
This all started, with one person who had his head in the clouds, look now
[Hook]

Quiet Things
04:00
|
|||
[Hook]
Taking the time to rewind in my mind
Reminded that I need to slow down some times
Patiently waiting til' they say it's time
Might keep my mouth shut, but can't quiet my mind x2
[Verse 1]
Got me thinking about the early days, about 30 ways
I can approach this, I hope this, collection of lyrics that I wrote
Can evoke, I invoked the ghost, to drop a dose of the potion
The right kind, I might climb, and might find
Day dreams in the night time, clouds in my sky-line
Pythons strike, I strike back
Tell em that we're right here whenever they ask where the lights at
Mike Jack, with the throwback fro, egh
Bending these lyrics like Satchmo, No click clack flow
Flow like the rapids, so rapid, taking a couple classes to see how I rap it
More than me, when I record, want the power of a double edged sword
And a higher spring, listen to the name that choir sings
You better keep watch on the quiet things
[Hook]
[Verse 2]
Come and kick it with the judo, you know, I don't quite fit like Pluto
Who knows, where I'll go next, I might try my best and end up stuck
And rough, like a nylon vest, well, they told me reach for the stars
And I started to, make a catchy song like all of the artists do
Forget it, I guess I split it, and then I quit it
Talking about that life when I know that I don't live it
Kill it and revive it, it's different now
Wonder if people will start listen now
Tried to visit and gone fishin' now
I missed my chance, I missed the crowd
My quiet mind isn't so quiet
Brain cells swell and begin to riot
Video games and a moment of silence
Pause for the ones that lost it, E N D
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
One life, no redos, no cheat codes, hope you get a good sequel
Don't trip on the budget, as long as you give it your all
See Immanuel was the prequel, plead the fifth when it's time to speak
You better mind your mind, cause that there is a killer, lies all around me
Surround me, found me, the truth is raw like salmonella
Alrighty, almighty, clean up, get all nice and tidy
Put on a mask put on a show put on an act and your ready to go
Ready to do it, and ready to prove it, fake it until you can pilot
And now you fly yourself, but your mind still won't be quiet
So you fade, so you fade, so you fade, so I fade
Still I fade, then we fade, still we fade
Please don’t fade, please don’t... FADE

Found God
03:07
|
|||
[Verse 1]
I just feel like vibing, I just feel like sliding through
Set for life, alright
Got that, I don't need what I could have got from you
‘Cause, Everything I want, I have
Egh, I have it, try to take or grab it, I dare you, double, triple
Start to finish, must have forgot what was in the middle
I'm that little stain that you can't wipe off wash out I'm here to stay
All day, aw yeah, I got that truth like Paul Pierce
Outchea, is that how they say it?
Let me see who's your own your playlist
Let me see what I should do to make it
Let me learn the basics
Ooo these lights are bright, alright, yeah I can get use to this
This truth is kind of tight, I think I might just get a looser fit
Too legit, but I already quit, already crossed the fence
Already got heavy, when I bought the wrist, piece
Already making all the history, books
[Sample: Lana Del Rey]
Everything I want I have
Money, notoriety and rivieras
I even think I found God
In the flash bulbs of the pretty cameras
Pretty cameras, pretty cameras
Am I glamorous? Tell me am I glamorous?
[Verse 2]
Ooo yeah, you fine girl, ain't even finna waste my time girl
Get straight to the point, no lies girl, I mean 1234 lies girl
But don't think about that, yeen even gotta tweak about that
Got money, so if you want, I advise you not to speak about that
Get it, got it, if I get this grammy, first of all I'm thanking God
I mean without Him, who knows where I would be
Probably have a job, ha, nope, that's not for me
The game was locked, I got the key
I'm out here with my clique and all I know is there's stopping me
Awwww
[Sample: Lana Del Rey]
[Verse 3]
Feeling low when it's night time, ah, no trip, got plenty doe
And if I lose friends get plenty mo, plenty drank, and plenty smoke
Plenty hope, well, nah, I'm just living now
No need for me to turn back, been saved and forgiven now
I mean, sometimes I talk to God, not sure if he's listening
Just chilling, worried bout nothin', keep on rollin like Michelin
And then, somewhere along the line I'll find a dime
Who holds it down, I found God way back, it's time to focus now
On this money

Wonderland

[Intro: Vocals + Why Is A Raven Like A Writing Desk?]
Wonderland x7
Welcome you to Wonderland
Wonderland x7
Welcome you to Wonderland
[Verse 1]
Queen of hearts with that judgement, but my King is no Queen
Huh, Father, Son and The Holy Spirit is the course of this theme
So, pay attention, listen, fishing for information
Educating the lost ones so they can know what they'd be facing
Faces missing, cause of the masquerade, masking our true selves
Couldn't fill a library of facts and figures among two
Shelves, we don't wanna expand, don't wanna grab onto his
Hand, don't wanna give into his plan, no time for a timeless
Destination, no plans to advance into Wonderland
Mad like the mind of the hatter, but still we must send this message
He sent a messenger, payed for us but we still make a mess
And then try to act like it's nothing, no big deal, I’m repenting
It's not repentance, take advantage of the fact we're forgiven
I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person
We don't need to go back, we can just advance and disperse
Into the crowd and drop this news, spiritual gifts and a couple of tools
But it's one of me and still one of you
Our forces combine and we're living proof, woo
[Movie Sample: Alice In Wonderland]
[Verse 2]
King of Hearts, not me, more like, king of the unworthy
Act like, I got it, on my own, but my rags are ever so dirty
Blurry thoughts and this clouded vision, I already crossed that line
Line em up and now it's our time, time for me to open up these blinds
And now this light is shining, I feel it, old me, whined when I decided to kill it
Don't have to peel back caps, just capitalize on the time the divine
Went bought my spirit, oh me, I’m getting all nice and tidy with a bow tie
Impressing with the way that I'm dressing, it's not for show I
Show thy, minds that I'm not really trying to show off
But I don't need to prove it to anybody, just go off
Blow off, steam, steampunk, Desert Punk, pop trunks but it’s extra empty
Your street credibility is extra iffy, you say you get cream
Looks like you need extra jif, see, Mickey, Rourke
With the way that they're acting, Captain K'nuckles, you’re gums are just flapping
You've never been jacking, you've never been Robin
You never did something that called for some crime solving
Flipping tables like Jesus, please just speak the truth and stop telling stories
Gangster rappers just talk and bore me, rap never died, it just took a breather
No need for me to bring the ether, your soul isn't mine to tinker, with
They hear what I say and then plead the 5th
I'm headed to a place where we don't believe in myths, Wonderland
[Movie Sample: Alice In Wonderland]
[Verse 3]
Jack of hearts, how I'm jacking hearts, but I'm not the knave, not me, no sir
Sent it, after, he ascended, now it's embedded inside of my mission
Trapped in these thoughts and mind is a prison, mind you that I am rapper who's killing
Myself on a daily or maybe I'm slipping, regardless I'm pardoned and living
Used to be dead, now I'm still dead, at the same time I'm alive
Well that doesn't make sense
Things got a whole better when I decided it's time and that I don't wanna ride the fence
Got to get it, got to go and apply my gift, apply part-time to God
Well that'a a step, apply full-time and I'm doing my job
Cassie didn't die at Columbine
So I'll see her up in her Wonderland, regardless if she said it or not
Put a, semi-automatic to my brain and I still won’t stop, Try Stop Us
Watch us, run through your whole operation
Why take the healthy to the doctor, let's provide for the patients
Patience grasshopper, hopping around, I shall be too late
Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, aw naw, I shattered the case
I shattered the glass and can’t, reach the net of the rim
But take a, bullet, or a, arrow, for my, friends, like I’m, Primm, urgh

Never Die
06:13
|

[Intro]
Holy, holy, holy, holy, holy, holy
[Verse 1]
The Mercy Seat, oh me, what a sight, magnificent
No malevolence when Saul saw that light, white, garments
Filling my closet, all these skeletons dissipate, they conversate
Ask me to assimilate, and throw secular messages in my face
Wait, look in the heavens, and see
Spectacularly, crafted a masterpiece
With halos like Master Chief
I'm still in the game, I'm Master P
All gold, but I'll be walking on it in Heaven
Play the background like Numbuh 7
That's K N D, A N D
He saved the world, Double A N G
I'm the last of my kind, cause my kind is me, fighting a war with Oni
One and only, only me and the rock that I'm founded on
Hold on Jabroni, get to know me, not much to see, just a broken vessel
With an open plea, I'm supposed to be, not living for me
But living for He, well now can you see?
Humble Beast, not one of the four, just here to spread this Vital Lens
Got to exercise that word, can't strengthen your faith with milk and some vitamins
Musique in my DNA, nonstop like TNA, Rex, Panthera Leo never hibernates
Wimoweh, ay
[Hook]
I’ll never die
Nothing but the truth when I testify
I’ll never die
To be honest, not that hard for me to tell a lie
I’ll never die
But I promise you what I’m speaking is verified
I’ll never die
Death is dead
I’ll never die
[Verse 2]
Never say I'll never fail, loose laces and missing screws
Heartburn when I swallow sin, and it makes me cold like Mr Scrooge
Forget the past, I'm in the present, still, the best is yet to come
Lost my mind in these clouds, but see, my dream has not yet begun
Blessed One in my mind-frame, think too hard & get a migraine
His time not my time, it's time to calibrate my time frame
Wait, melted clocks in my space, stay away from the vicinity
Distorted thoughts in my brain waves, and they may cave on these memories
Assembly of my clan, with blood that's thicker than quicksand
Switch plans and maneuver, force strong enough for the Return of Cooler
Grab a ruler, can't measure up, He's the King of the Hill, I'll tell ya what
Misunderstood like Jeffrey Wheels, I was chin deep and couldn't pay the bills
Narrow gate in my destination, many rooms in that place of peace
Marriage, Supper of the Lamb, that'll be a crazy feast
Made to feast and produce this, you need a plan, here's the blueprint
Never could we fully grasp, they make up theories like evolution, ha
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Already dead, already died, already bought those lies they sold me
Got a refund in the form of grace, probably look in disgust if I saw my former place
Form of little ole sinner, you already know what form he took, we look
In the face of death and know that our name is jotted down in the book
Ugh, sickened to the core of all my selfish ambitions
I know my life would be better, if I just sat down and listened
On a mission, to improve me and I hope that they follow
Peep this message in the bottle martyr's hallowed, not hollow
Hollow tips couldn't tear us apart, although we might scatter
Scatter brains but we focus when there's a notion of matter
Matter of fact, not even spaced out, I think I concentrate
Concentrated my thoughts and now I'm ready to dominate
I'm obligated to spread this message but it's my pleasure
And our hearts can be defined by what we value and treasure
Becoming lesser, so that I can glorify the most high
Always positive and you should know why, I'll never die, ah
[Hook]
[Speech: Edward M. Kennedy]
And someday, long after this convention
Long after the signs come down and the crowds stop cheering
And the bands stop playing
May it be said of our campaign that we kept the faith
May it be said of our Party, that we found our faith again
And may it be said of us, both in dark passages and in bright days
In the words of Tennyson that my brothers quoted and loved
And that have special meaning for me now:
"I am a part of all that I have met
Too (though) much is taken, much abides
That which we are, we are --
One equal temper of heroic hearts
Strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."
For me, a few hours ago, this campaign came to an end
For all those whose cares have been our concern
The work goes on, the cause endures
The hope still lives, and the dream shall never die
[TV Show Sample: Game of Thrones]
What is dead may never die!
