People Clap 04:12
I know you said the shit just hit the fan and all But I'm here to tell you it's already crusted up upon the walls With a sandpaper tongue, cleaning bathroom stalls Tomorrow recollect absolutely nothing at all Not your tibia's in Libya, Your bladder's in Peru And you're "Jack's raging bile duct" The void on the sinew A scopolamine // Dopamine // Receptor // Reflector Waking face down in the latrine is the last thing you remember On Trial // Handcuffs! // Guilty Verdict // Ransom This guy's a regular Charles Manson! This shit happens everyday. Conspiracy Theory // Timothy Leary Make it clear please // Can't you hear me? A global fallacy, so pass the chalice please Tiger's Blood // Charlie Sheen ILLUMINATI reference, you paying attention to water retention An honorable mention, instead of ascension IS THAT WHAT YOU REALLY STRIVE FOR? Just clap your hands. My mind is even darker than a fallen angel's sometimes My arteries are clogged, Ive got the black lung coal mine But I don't mind, my heart radiates intensity of sunshine on the grind, just below the find, whiter to the melon CALL ME BLIND! Like a dragon blood tree Ima' touch the sky even if it kills me I freed grizzly, I'm on a higher level So transcend please, we've got a score to settle Let's pedal Into a brighter future, and let the wounds heal Quit pickin' at the suture Just keep it on the real Life ain't your film reel She's a bitch, so why don't you amuse her? And carve your own niche and don't accuse her Don't be a loser, or a duck. (Quack! Quack!) My head is even darker than an espresso shot Some people call me Superman, but guess who's not? I never had a lot, Material Possession But Stressin' is not a building block of this cat's perception I got a new address, so send your tapes and your cassettes So I can cypher, reminisce, and paint a picture // nothing less Just clap your hands

Be the Light 03:05
If I'm going to be the lightning Then I'll need you to be the thunder Pick as many grapes up in the vineyard Before they put us under Athirst to catch a blunder CHECK MATE Can you calculate 5 steps ahead Glimpse your soul they start to salivate But enough of that "They" stuff It's you and me, soon to be a unity Takin' a look back at human history We can understand the present day With bills to pay and no excuses Positive or Negative? You behold! You can choose it! You can lose it like your mind Sell your soul for a credit line Someone else'll write your rhymes We found your woman "In The Pines" Belly full of lead. My Aura shines red. Decree the spoken word to get you zombies out of bed Write a Rubaiyat instead of watching television sets Quit standin' in line kid And start writing rhymes kid It's time to spill the wine and be the light that shineth! Music and Family, That's the way it's got to be Walking through these streets You know these kids they new lobotomies But I'm against the surgery So can we close the curtains please? Act III, Enter Harvey Stage left Make a dent Lets repent Enter Ampersand Center Stage Holds us down Get's 'em paid Enter Whistle Stage Right Takin' flight Keeps you bumpin' through the night Inner sight Paints a picture of the name so you're searching for us right Amethyst in my hand Fill the paper with the pen Ink blot Gotta find a place to stop So symmetrical it's not The garage was just the top Now we're getting to the bottom of it all Now or never make the call Quit standing in line kid And start writing rhymes kid It's time to spill the wine And be the light that shineth!

Dr. Jam 02:57
You might say I smoked too much weed And dropped to many beads of Sweat in vain While I was waiting for a train that never came. Or You might say I dropped too much acid Until my brain went rancid I was looking for the answers With a dim lit lantern in a Den of Panthers But I would say At least I'm not searching for God With a lightning rod Only to collect Dust and Dander!

Harlem Swag 02:49
It's just some late night Writing in my note, tight

Apocalypse, Schmocalypse I'm feeling a shift in consciousness Like throwing a wrench in all of it From Alcatraz to Auschwitz I finally found the cockpit Oh Pilot! My Pilot! Did you really think you could fly this Through your eyelids Amid chasing peace and quiet Left for dead so we could rise Above the conflict in our minds Whats the ramification of time? Tell me what's a suitable line To administer a message of truth? Or at least my unadulterated observation in leu Of the undeniable shortcomings Of this artist's poor timing We're all trying, We're all buying We've all got the choice of living or dying If monkey A than monkey B Then monkey see, then monkey do Then let us lead them by example And show this primates just how we do!

Lets get to the bottom of it My home is where my hot sauce is But don't you trip 'cause I'm only as hip as my food Break it down to brass monkey Spin Mr. Brown, just make it funky When It's Always Sunny, I'm just as hip as the tunes Just a little bit of history repeating Words so far away from the lips of a politician, Hip as his trick So forgive them if they're phony Yellow #5 in your macaroni, Keep it stoney! You're just a pet in their zoo But you're still an animal You don't gotta be so affable You don't gotta be such an asshole either Ejecting spitballs at the teacher Leeching peaches, double feature Won't you greet 'em with a smile Emancipate your soft denial. Ain't it funny, laugh it up That's all God really asked of us. Am I right? I've got to be After all I'm Newton's Apple Tree Precipitating axiom epiphanies To anyone that's listening... My Sriracha came up missing! Dance...

Time To Wait 04:46
Treasure chest, Japedo gets the reference best, I'm headed west in a year Took a look inside and found I have some fears to clear A myriad of questions to answer, it's a cancer Sometimes I write a stanza, Sometimes an entire tragedy But gradually, picking up the pieces of the puzzle 'till its a masterpiece Are you catching these lyrical catastrophes? God I hope it 'aint blaspheme But you got me all up in that chain gang Sam Cooke I sip americanos while I'm watching Mel Brooks NAKED in the midnight Poetry in dim light Shed a bit of insight Solar plexus, Malachite I'm feeling mental // What strange tangling of tendrils I killed my Grendel
