Lyrics
It’s that semi street
Beatnik
Poetic technique shit
That I speak with
Rapping sweet
Flapping my cheeks quick
Every single day
And every single weekend
Wreaking magic
With the havoc that I’m speaking
Or was it havoc with the magic I’m unleashing
Lyrical lips leaking
As miracle beats weaken
The seal and feel the flow creep in
And seep in slow
So no time for sleeping
Brain waves peaking
Skull crashing through the concrete
At the bottom of the deep end
Deep in thought dreaming
As ink drops
Bleed through sheets
And rock meaning
Consciousness streaming
Defeating writer’s block
For the remainder of the evening
So peace then
Gotta find the pieces and piece them
Gotta keep my mind from careening
Off course
But of course
You can’t apply too much force
You gotta let it flow
‘Cause it comes and goes
Like tides upon shores
Like water vapor
Swimming above top floors
Morphed into visible forms
By the same forces
That rip em’ and leave it torn
As is my writing
As the sun rise approaches
Encroaching with the morn
The only time I feel scorn
For sun beams
Slicing through the fabric of the dark storm
The truest mark
Of the progression to which we are all sworn
So I keep my pencil lead warm
Carving signs, between lines
Until my mind’s worn
‘Til the midnight
Oil who
I’ve been loyal to
Bubbles it’s last boil through
Sparking it’s last flame
As focus begins to wain
‘Cause technically it’s tomorrow
But it still feels the same as today
These odd hours that I choose to play
For some reason
Seem to get right through to me
And who’s to say
What’s the truest way
I come through
Everyday with the smoothest sway
And the flyest swing
That my verbal science bring
Feeling like a lion king
Every time I rhyme and sing
This Hip Hop kind of thing
It brings life to this vessel
Fuck a diamond ring
I’ll take my music and my mind
Over any kind of shiny thing
They say a picture’s worth a thousand words
Well I write a thousand words
And paint a picture with your nerves
With your maps as you observe
I am the master of the word
Immaculate with verbs
As I collapse facts
And cast raps you never heard
Scratch lines that track back
To my mind as it occurred
I am passionate and learned
Feet fastened to the earth
As I travel through time
And unwind the universe
Stomping the earth since birth
Trying to lift a curse
And define
What conscious mind
Can not find
Within the confines
Of my own lifetime
It’s fine
A cycle just feels like a line
When you living with endpoints
Before and behind
Projected through time
Inspecting the climb
Collecting the shine
Bleeding through now
And erecting your mind
So I
Try to keep my windows clear
Of water spots and grime
As pristine portals
Paving paths to the immortal
Expelled out of the oral
‘Til I rest beneath the floral
But even then
I’ll shake the earth
‘Til I breath again
Permeating life
And all the matter that we seem to bend
But really
We are already there
Just distracted by action
Senses and perspective
A piece of the collective
Projecting an objective
That only he can understand
Where he stands
As he can
Somewhere in between the sky and the land
‘Til he falls apart and rises
With no more disguises
And vices
Just lessons of the righteous
Learned and forgotten
Or passed on when you bite this
So I write this
Down ‘cause I like this
Sound of a sentence
Now with a light twist
Drowned in the ripest
Grooves on the tight list
Rehearsed
And dumped into a mic fist
With the likeness
Of lava over brine mist
It’s what my life is
Head knock and mic biz
And I’ma keep living it on
Until it’s lifeless
Yeah
Until it’s lifeless
And I’ma keep living it on
Until it’s lifeless.
