I saw it vivid i give it in form of writtens we bump it they listen Been divided since the death of those that rose and chose to guid us Gather round the vinyl and a stylus Grind till morning shinin No path worth walking is provided The truth is hiding we swore to find it Confiding in like minds subsided from social tyrants were striding Collided in a vibrant plane with time and space aligning Prescribe my rhymes recited breaking silence Synergistic hit or miss is inefficient Fail adjust the mission Fail adjust the mission Sneeze and fix the sickness not the symptoms Seize the minute every instant Strain to see the victor in the victim Where there's dreams there will be resistance Paired to be binary adversaries good and bad whos who, depends on which you ask When the devil in the angel’s mask laughs at engineered confusion, Cut the humor with a smirk and keep it moving.

Live it up. Give it up. Feel it when it bumps. Live it up. Give it up. Feel it when it bumps. Live it up. Give it up. Feel it when it bumps. Put ‘em up. Jump if you couldn’t get enough. x2 They’re bored of the same, so we changed the game. Paint the page with a stain that they claim is strange. Two faces, love and hate. The coin is the same. Flip, face it. We came to beef up the basics. From a culture born in a basement. Hip hop, the road we walk, the way we talk. The greats of yesterday paved the way. We pay homage on every stage we play. Stopping’s not an option. I don’t see a problem. Why’re the ones boasting often the first to play opossum? Too much talk in their doctrine. Peacocks squakin’ like clockwork. Proceed with caution. Live it up. Give it up. Feel it when it bumps. Live it up. Give it up. Feel it when it bumps. Live it up. Give it up. Feel it when it bumps. Put ‘em up. Jump if you couldn’t get enough. x2 Supersede the fundamental of what it means to dream. To attain these things you need a scheme, true indeed. To believe in a better day’s a waist if you lay in wait. So wake and take your fate by the reigns. Hey! Sounds great, start tomorrow after a nap. That mentality is why your sand castle collapsed. Run laps ‘til your heels skin flaps fold back. ‘Til that, it ain’t time to relax. Track-smart etiquette, climbing soft sediment. Meddling in a zone of gnomes dressed as elephants. This illusion alludes me loosely. Truth’s in the pudding we usually spoon feed. PLEASE! Plead the fifth and get a grip if you seek to live for glam and glitz - the social glitch. Time you noticed it. Approach the ridge with intent to jump the cliff. I’m over it. I write like a poltergeist. I scribe my rhymes and roll my eyes with every line. I’m three parts crazy, and one part pay me. Painstakingly waking my generation. You can see the strength in unity. I keep hope for what the truth could bring. We can’t seek our peace in history. The future’s a sanctuary. But I heard hope is a dangerous drug. Where’s it still coming from? Can’t blame the fiend for needing that fix if there isn’t much else for which to live. x2 Be the future you want to see for you. Be the future you want to see for me. We can’t seek our peace in history. The future’s a sanctuary. But I heard hope is a dangerous drug. The sun’s set, and the night is young. We can’t seek our peace in history. The future’s a sanctuary. x2 You can see the strength in unity. I keep hope for what the truth could bring. We can’t seek our peace in history.

I've killed the beast within me, My blood has prevailed, I stand before you on this night to tip the scale. All that's sacred has been lost. Every culture's for sale. I translate what is seen in surgical detail. I'm a ghost. A wandering soul in the flesh. A messenger cheating his death, keeping it fresh. Expression is freedom at best. The past is a latter to mind. The future is harder to climb. Excuses are signs you're loosing your mind, a slip at a time. We nickel and dime tryna build a fortune. Passion turns to torture. Crack your mirror, curse the portrait, pay the bills on who supports it. Beautifully morbid, in oribit through the groove that I chose. Keep the ego out my ear, and hold your fears by the throat. No plateaus, committed to living I'm diggin through visions of cash flow, citizens willing to give in to gimmicks of glamor and riches need back bone Limited dreams dont live within me. Infinity's all I see. Live in the beat. Definitive steeze, the image of me. no plateaus no shadows no slack known no lack shown no rats home no flat tones no wack clones no flack owned I have traveled light years. My blood is a trail. I'm here to guide you to through the stairwell out of hell. The future's cloaked in ashes. The pheonix prevails. I translate what is seen in surgical detail. I'm taking the time to think. Revealing my mind in the ink. I live in the land of the greed. No enemy worthy to see. Livin' the dream is my meaning to breathe. Floating a stream of consciousness, I pass lifes nonsense with a skip and a leap. Ready as ever to be, great, The future i see. Thoughts are built to achieve. Sweat is a part of the feat, bartering heart for the green is the reason this industry's weak, same reason our ignorance speaks. Intelligence sleeps. Honors irrelevant within this hellish parade of false reverence. Immolate hesitance, settle for none, the stories begun. No plateaus, committed to living I'm diggin through visions of cash flow, citizens willing to give in to gimmicks of glamor and riches need back bone Limited dreams dont live within me. Infinity's all I see. Live in the beat. Definitive steeze, the image of me. no plateaus no shadows no slack known no lack shown no rats home no flat tones no wack clones no flack owned

Im faded, misplaced in what my mind is facing. evading being jaded with a leg tied behind my back. On a tight rope with a unicycle, I spit typhoons with a light glow - just to find my path. I'm saying a shadows two dimensional when vacant. Step out of the dark, giving it body doesnt make sense. I'm the type that likes to bring a light when I write. Creative heights tethered to a vice I type through the night. I’m the mammoth in a pack of rampant elephants. Construed with effortless eloquence, no self proclaimed precedence. I write the future in the present tense, share it with my fellowship, Uncut pure pure form, void of the embellishment. Attacking on a mental tip, and i dont settle kid. My addiction frequently is freaking beats tweaking frequencies. My circles free of weak emcees, we speak at ease with the beat. Sweeping non believers under rugs for defeat. Never wonder when the wind will change again. It’s not always the direction your running in. No ones lifes ahead of them, allowed enough time. Be clouded with doubt and you'll find hell is live. x3 I rip it like a prodigee. Weave words into philosophy. Every songs an odyssey, the party’s promising. Born a rhyming oddity, I ride the beat abolishing the tarnished part of heart i see. The rhythm is a part of me. My team’s an entity with plenty beats on which we speak. Styles a reoccurring theme, recording dope for music fiends. Importing potent spoken flows for in your car or at our shows. Boasting not a notion that we need to hold the thrown. I noticed that the folks that have to say theyre holding gold are usually the ones that really dont. So, My nose is to the grind stone. No noise shapes my focus. Turned ghost in society un noticed, motives frozen. Track shoes and tunnel vision, Disregard the distance. Snack food and television, learn to see the difference. Trace the mind fate designed. Fake the pride > face the fire.

I've seen the leaders wander, seen a needy people ponder, lean on me believe no beast can be a demon deemed to stop us. Being a king seen as a monster comes with hell and peaks to conquer. walking tall is often hard we keep the beats proper. knocka knocka nod ya noggin with the speakers poppin.

I belong to a bloodline from apart of time being chained and enslaved was the life. Momma raised a smart guy so when cops try to get a rise i recite my rights and stay polite it's sad but im used to a social confusion land of the weary wounded infuse this with tattered ends of movements we're doomed to believe have been fruitless I wouldnt want MLK to see us today 'cause I'm afraid he'd view his sacrifice vein That would hurt my heart in ways I can't explain Theres a reason he didnt see a ripe old age. I'll be damned if I let him and other leaders down So I climb to the top of my town with my sound And I strive to be better in the now our culture survives it's so vibrant no shadows can hide it Real leaders of the people stand tall the smartest are targets, your knowledge is arson, the flame is the hope of us all I walk through flames on a plain of ego and pride show no shame I'm striding with the truth in my eyes no weaponry could ever shoot my ship from the sky it's like telepathy the way i learned to float through the rhyme i etch into the melody a sketch of me you hear to see attack the beat transcending visual faculty I'm glad to be able to speak with my peeps as we plan to build the world the way we see we the people stand steadfast we the truth seekers damned outcasted it happens we're laughing 'cause we had it all along we got along progression through passion we the people stand steadfast we the truth seekers damned outcasted it happens we're laughing 'cause we had it all along we got along progression through passion we live life a little strange to the mainstream grind with the main team rhyme tryna change things divided we dissipate we must assimilate traits we nurse to set things straight some meditate some prey for the pain for me they're one in the same. peep game. leaders of the people stand tall in dark your the reason we know where we are.

I've learned to play my role an old soul with goals to sew closed the holes we've left exposed from the fear we let corrode our motives the world is cold i noticed frightened frozen fighting for the moment broken, hoping deep breaths just keep focused coasting on a notion i opened through rhythm spoken my ropes thrown in the ocean just grab a hold and keep floatin. It's just another storm yet, this could be the one they said.

Was it a dream? a series of thoughts and sensations stirring my mind as I sleep.
