[Hook: The Thought]
I'm the last man standing in Afghanistan
Planning with a can of gas
Annie with an ampersand
Landing like the Taliban
Danny never had to scan
Granny Smith or Tenenbaum
Blow your head off
I'm the last man standing in Afghanistan
Planning with a can of gas
Annie with an ampersand
Landing like the Taliban
Danny never had to scan
Granny Smith or Tenenbaum
Blow your head off
[Verse: J Soulstice]
Ayo, it's time to build a fire, we 'bout to throw the logs in
Created my account, and now it's time to log-in
Looks like the game just started, I think I want to join too
Start giving people more chances to disappoint you
I heard it's not wise to let your own pain exploit you
Deep down, you know the truth
It's time to trust your inner voice... Who?
I meditated with a seated posture
Taking over like where Caesar conquered
Dream big and see it larger
You gotta be there, like a man choosing to be a father
This was Uncle Ben's next message to Peter Parker
Welcome to the Kingdom Heart, sir
Sometimes I think about the person that I used to be
But now I realize, I'm the person that I choose to be
Who is he? He be the true emcee, our beats committing truancy
I got my third eye open, that means all I do is see
I see your angle, but you can't match me congruently
[Hook: The Thought]
I'm the last man standing in Afghanistan

[Verse: Zen Stokely]
Drift between sleeping and waking, for granted? Nothing I'm taking
Beyond that dirt with the planets, my granite still remain and
Still in training, training wheels trained the will
Brain scan detect, technology, a modern-day caveman
Tinman, oil slick, sip cans 'til I'm smart
Hurting from an emptiness while trying to have a heart to heart
The hardest part is simplicity, sim enemies
Sim cities, my Mind craft, Zen symmetry
Bodhidharma looking for garments in a department store
Inner-g, I hold my peace like the art of war
Au Revoir, parkour, jumping out the window of a car door
Moving, call that shit a motion picture
Some forget what most remember, don't forget what Granny told ya
With the family over, snacking on tapioca
I'm tapping into expansions, the expression of life
Ravens pecking, nesting, the intestine of sight
[Hook: The Thought]

[Verse: PHIL]
If it's murder she wrote, I hope it's never the recipe
Move minds with mines, there's that mental telepathy
On a journey for higher-ness, rely on my highest sense
Move crowds like it depends on how the riot gets
That's common-sense, the ignorance involved could move mountains in all
I'm really in awe of the way the stars align
I go for mine, every time the beat crank, I need the replay
In this rat race, but it's a relay
I go bar for bar like we in T-J, it's never easy
So please, believe me, Me and ZenSoul, the masterminds
When the beats unfold, to each his own
These are The Thought's unknown, my stock has grown
Bear with me or bear witness, your own defeat
In a world full of wolves they went ahead and cloned sheep
But that's when they sleeping on me, when they count 'em all
It's the final call, I'm living life off the wall... yeah

[Verse: A.R.S.]
What's beauty to a beast when it's all on display?
Looking for a ticket, if he's balling then you'll play
Couldn't be your type... well I could, but I'm saying
Income ain't attractive if it ain't come with maids
But if I had the cash, you'll consider open lanes
If I had the following, you'll probably marry me
I'm looking for a queen, not an Instagram scheme
Fishing for a sucker with that bait on the stream
Beauty's what you make it, now it's all over the screen
Perception's a motherfucker, so fuck what you see
Surgery, forgery, the cost of tryna catch
The dog's got flaws but not as sneaky as the cat!
Still tempted by the devil and all she has to offer
Sign the wrong deal, forever it will cost ya
Stop following your dick, start following your heart
If you start to lose your mind, put it all in your art (Picasso)
[Verse: The Thought]
BLAQKNOIZ, Yo
What's hatred to a Christian when a babe negates the rape?
Could you tell me what was missing when they caught the shit on tape?
Belly-ache, your soma, take your coma, in the colder tone of faith
Ain't a soldier, just an open stoma for the stake
I got a tome of Tony Roma's aromas for your nose
You ain't smoking that good marijuana and it shows
You just hoping for the hood to make you wanted on the low
If you wanted, you could grow, you just happy as a stone
If I had a finger rock, would you let me sling the cock?
Not the day the fatty singing, but we swinging toward the drop
Bringing me the clock, sure enough you found the face of God
Stuffing blunts until they chocked, sounding out in name of stocks
Ain't it odd? Ain't it funny? It's like all of us are dummies
Ichabod got his head back but emptied out his tummy
This a nod to the redcaps, Bolshevik solutions
It's a bop, it's a trap! Shouldn't read that, Rosicrucians

[Hook: The Thought]
Looking for closure
You can get me drunk, I'm so sober
I ain't had enough I'm in La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la Land
Come and find me
Looking for closure
Now that this relationship is over
Ain't no need for faking it, I'm lo-lo-lo-lo
Lo-lo-lo-low man...
But don't mind me!
[Verse: Smith the Poet]
I was hoping time and place had no regard for you, yeah
This ain't no lotus, with hope I stay true, and
Never wanted more than Mary, burning up the bullshit
Forever knew that I just couldn't face the fucking music
Shoestrings, the shrapnel, a solemn loss of backbone
Now hard to hear it had hope, a hardly-bit-off cliche
The crush, I'll pay a cheapskate
Monthly faze his station in that La La Land, she's vibrato man
And you don't gotta understand why she choking lines
And late at night, embarked to hold her hand
No value, my demands, soaking woes, I'd rather fan
Moments managed on a whim, she be damaged how I been
Hates to love it at a glance, I'm looking for exposure
You can let me love you when I'm older
I just gotta hush, cup and hold her
And tell her bottom's up if we over, peel composure
[Hook: The Thought]
Looking for closure
You can get me drunk, I'm so sober
I ain't had enough I'm in La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la Land
Come and find me
Looking for closure
Now that this relationship is over
Ain't no need for faking it, I'm lo-lo-lo-lo
Lo-lo-lo-low man...
But don't mind me!
[Verse: The Thought]
As nature calls, so shall it be in the world
Not faking it to stall and never call you "my girl"
Learned that early on, careful where I place bets
To Simp A Butterfly, don't know how to erase it
And I can't face it, I don't think we broke up!
I couldn't trace it, like I lit it and smoked up
I'm so impatient! I need to think that you're the one
'Cause if you ain't... What?! Are we just doing this for fun?
Just hit and quit it like a blunt? You my bitch or just a stunt?
I don't mean to be so blunt, but I don't enjoy the hunt
I don't beat around the bush, I ain't sweeter than honey
I know you love my love of kush but I ain't rolling in money
And I adore you, but lovely, it's more than sex if you with me
I ain't lovey-dovey just to taste his breath when you kiss me
If it's less you can give me, guess we parting our ways
Peace and blessings, but missy, you left my heart in a maze, peace
[Hook: The Thought]
Looking for closure
You can get me drunk, I'm so sober
I ain't had enough I'm in La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la Land
Come and find me
Looking for closure
Now that this relationship is over
Ain't no need for faking it, I'm lo-lo-lo-lo
Lo-lo-lo-low man...
But don't mind me!

[Hook: Jade Winter White]
There's never gonna be that perfect place, that perfect time
Sleeping in the bed won't always cover, rest his life
Associate your life with those who really want to prosper
Do not take the time waiting for finances to just pop up
Who you waiting for to pick up the phone to call ya?
Maybe you'll just have to get up and walk some
(BLAQKNOIZ)
Get up, get up and walk some
Get up, get up and want some!
[Bridge: The Thought]
Get up and walk some, get up and want some
I hear you talk, and I can tell you want sums
Get up and walk some, 'cause I just want dumb
Recognition for the music when I drop some
Although I'm awesome, I'm overlooked
I ain't a bar bum, I'm here to cook
And when the car hums, I'm in the hood
So where my karma, for doing good?
[Verse: The Thought]
What goes around, comes around, especially when you acting proud
Ain't recommending backing down
What's underground? Sound for sound, you might have to shed a pound
But you just gotta make tracks
So you stay on track and don't attack those who tryna get your back
Pick your fights and not the crack of your ass
So you make it past all the trash, and those who tryna do you bad
Without just ending up alone
Gotta throw yourself a bone if you ain't found no one to play
Gotta walk your dumbass home if you ain't got the funds to pay
When they offer you a loan and you don't know what to say
Give the number to your phone and say you need another day
Get up and walk some, not just for exercise
Give you time, to work those things out in your mind
And don't just block roads you need to travel on
Pack your clothes, you can go ahead to Babylon
[Hook: Jade Winter White]
There's never gonna be that perfect place, that perfect time
Sleeping in the bed won't always cover, rest his life
Associate your life with those who really want to prosper
Do not take the time waiting for finances to just pop up
Who you waiting for to pick up the phone to call ya?
Maybe you'll just have to get up and walk some
(BLAQKNOIZ)
Get up, get up and walk some
Get up, get up and want some!
[Bridge: The Thought]
Get up and walk some, get up and want some
I hear you talk, and I can tell you want sums
Get up and walk some, 'cause I just want dumb
Recognition for the music when I drop some
Although I'm awesome, I'm overlooked
I ain't a bar bum, I'm here to cook
And when the car hums, I'm in the hood
So where my karma, for doing good?
[Verse: The Thought]
Put one foot in front the next, then do that shit again
Your attitude too fresh, take your ass to bed
Everything a test, all these games up in your head
You don't see how you blessed, you just stressing 'bout your girl
In your tiny little world, time to pop the baby bubble
Don't the spinning make you hurl? I ain't tryna start no trouble
Why you clutching at your pearls? Why your volume gotta double?
Just cause Sarah pulled your curls aside and got it in your ear
That I got your biggest fear, another passion on the side?
Welling up with tears 'cause you imagined that I lied?
Telling you to cheer up 'cause last I checked we fine
But you don't wanna hear it, so I'm getting off the ride
Get up and walk some, just to catch a breath
I thought I saw something, on to the next
Hit the crossroads, pick a way to go
And keep my feet moving 'til my kicks are getting holes
[Outro: Sampha]
There's never gonna be that perfect place, that perfect time
Sleeping in the bed won't always cover, rest his life
Associate your life with those who really want to prosper
Do not take the time waiting for finances to just pop up
Who you waiting for to pick up the phone to call ya?
Maybe you'll just have to get up and walk some
Get up, get up and walk some

[Hook: The Thought]
I'm saying you
Don't really want to change
If there's effort involved
That shit out of your range
You really stuck with what to do
You really don't know who to be
It's like you stupid but you got a high IQ
Don't know nobody off the leash, sheesh
You really blame this on the Jews?
When it's the pastors getting paid?
I know you used to trusting all the news
But who's choosing what they say, today?
Each of us is prone to choose
To keep our hands up in those chains
'Cause you keep us fighting over booze
And keep those thoughts up out our brains
[Verse: The Thought]
You got maggots, word to P-Funk
Got to kill a politician? Let it be Trump
Don't take pressure off the Clintons, but they teamed-up
They all members of the Jeffrey Epstein club
Kirk died every time that Scotty had him beamed up
Covered up all that free energy with Jesus
Please remember that sound waves are your weakness
Anything, when weaponized, can show you where the seams split
Least that's the thesis, Rhesus
O- Mabie, that's why I'm so negative
Parents made me sensitive, never took my sedatives
Only took like seven years for Teach to call me "genius"
So I'm seen as needless and don't hear from my relatives
And that's representative of all the tragic strong
That don't know how to live in a world that feels so wrong
The changes to our skeletons since we got dragged along
But we giving all we have to give with each and every song
I'm saying you
Don't really wanna change
How you scared, to tell the truth
When you got maggots in your brain?
[Hook: The Thought]
I'm saying you
Don't really want to change
If there's effort involved
That shit out of your range
You really stuck with what to do
You really don't know who to be
It's like you stupid but you got a high IQ
Don't know nobody off the leash, sheesh
You really blame this on the Jews?
When it's the pastors getting paid?
I know you used to trusting all the news
But who's choosing what they say, today?
Each of us is prone to choose
To keep our hands up in those chains
'Cause you keep us fighting over booze
And keep those thoughts up out our brains
[Verse: PsychoSloth]
Cold and breezy like autumn is, medicine for like Sodomists
Sorta high from the shaman kiss, I don't know where the bottom is
Psycho's passion is bottomless, bags and pecs what I gotta get
Catch me in the fields of Chernobyl skipping and frolicking
I be after all of it, I believe in crazy things
Sorta like Scientologists, eating acid in colleges
Sharp as fuck but empty inside, bitch I'm a hollow-tip
My joint's 'bout as thick as the legs of a hippopotamus
Do it for the knowledge, not for common acknowledgment
Denominated nominations, such a filthy combination
Honestly, abomination, all this in my observation
Pockets filled with doctor-patient privilege and the noggin's vacant
Goblins trotting, into keeping calm, drop some product placement
Label says you gotta take a line to stop hallucinations
I've been in a lucid state, found it in an illusive nation
Cruising on the moon as the music playing, ay

[Verse: The Thought]
Thinking I'm a big fish in a small bowl
Best not scratch that itch before the ball's cold
I'm trash that only wanna ditch the cargo
Never tryna pay back what I borrowed
Hundo's on the weed and not the car note
'Cause my priority's the high
There's a million little reasons I don't want smoke
But the reality's I'd die
Whether the climate gonna dump us in the ocean
Or the bogus orange POTUS gonna put us all on notice
Whether the giants went extinct from all the motion
Or the violence we promoted was a bitter fucking potion
There's a million little reasons, we a species that been damned
We so greedy that we genocide for land
You'll hear no reason when the people that been stabbed
Wanna close their fists and finally take a stand
We can't withstand infinity, we need a chance to breathe
You can't pretend that we ain't human too
Blasted be our history, we a different breed
We'll make you bend until you break into
A million little pieces
You fucking dunce
I'm gonna make like a thousand environmental songs
Better than "Earth" by Lil' Dicky
[Verse: Connor Reid]
I give you a million reasons to live
And you can't find one, not even your kids?
Not even your self, is that how it is?
Self-care is self-help, guess the message is dead
I loved you enough, I can't second-guess that
I'm not to blame for the shit that you give back
I'm not to blame for the people you killed
Who cared for me better than you ever will!
I loved you to death, you put me in a casket
I'm clawing and scratching, you buried the hatchet
You buried your friend! I just need a friend!
I won't accept it's the end!
I know there's a million reasons you did all that you did
But let's make amends
I'll put it all in the past, give me your hand
Don't let me rot in green, save me!
[Sample]
"None of this is a coincidence, because Climate Change is not a coincidence
Or a scientific anomaly
Climate Change is a consequence"
[Verse: Smith the Poet]
And these big corporations be like
I think we at the top, so we don't mind yo!
Why you hoping for change?
Said "you know not your lane", ain't profitable
More hospitable for your children's children, I guess
But I'll be too far gone by then
To give a fuck 'bout you or them
It's just the truth, we all pollute
Nothing really different between me and you
You'd probably do the same shit in my shoes
We just the vacancy, schmoney rule
So I don't need to think about the planet, 'cause it's doomed
To act like we conflicted, but just not really tripping
Why should I fold when the Forbes still glisten?
Listen, we ain't know, it's just business
To pocket off emissions, and how the fuck you bitching
'Bout how to save the planet, when you don't understand it?
There's a million little reasons why you're damned

I remember you, do you remember me?
I know it's been a while since our mouths would meet
Sprung? Nah, girl, I'm autumn (Falling)
Falling like the leaves (Leaves)
Maybe you should fall through
K.I.S.S. Me
K.I.S.S. Me
K.I.S.S. Me
Lips too sweet, too soft, come
K.I.S.S. Me
Come kiss me, me, me, me
Kiss me, me, me, me
Me, me, me, me
Me, me, me, me
[Verse: The Thought]
Come here and kiss me! You can feel the tingles of the volts
Wait 'til you miss me, a clumsy titan on a rope
The sand been sifting as high tide can come and go
Sitting, wishing, Jack go Johnson on a flow
And now I'm simping! Over the fullness of your lips
They hold that mystique, you tied me up and hold the whip
You supposed to tip me if you use me for a lift
I can't be risky! I don't got time for opposites
Come here and fuck, why should we pretend that ain't the vibe?
You're my type, but why you pressuring a bribe?
We should get to acting on it while the time is ripe
But you too hype
Come here and kiss me, steer your silly troubles from your mind
You got more than one eye and this the land of the blind
The looks you gift me, consistently you share my space
Please don't pull away when I'm reaching for your face
[Hook: Ayanna the Loner]
I remember you, do you remember me?
I know it's been a while since our mouths would meet
Sprung? Nah, girl, I'm autumn (falling)
Falling like the leaves (leaves)
Maybe you should fall through
K.I.S.S. Me
K.I.S.S. Me
K.I.S.S. Me
Lips too sweet, too soft, come
K.I.S.S. Me
Come kiss me, me, me, me
Kiss me, me, me, me (You can come kiss me, baby)
Me, me, me, me (You can come kiss me, baby)
Me, me, me, me (You can come)
[Verse: Zen Stokely]
Two pterodactyls, sitting in the tree
K.I.S.S.I.N.G
We could see the whole world, you could be my M.D
So if I ever broke my heart, I won't lose sight like Kenshi
Indiana Jones, travel worlds to find her
Wear my plain white tee, screaming "Hey there, Delilah!"
Or Dahlia, all of ya deserve the best and you should know it
If you didn't, just go look inside the mirror, girl you glowing
Like sketches from way back, the sketch is in they back
Ajax, a tear in your seat, flooded my wave cap
As I wrote this, kicking buckets full of roses
Alone can be a loan unless you're given room to grow
And so with everything, I'm sewing, until it's nothing left to me
My heart's trajectory, lessons in empathy
Let's agree, until we come to terms
I got one leaf left and you're the one I want to burn with...
[Hook: Ayanna the Loner]
I remember you, do you remember me?
I know it's been a while since our mouths would meet
Sprung? Nah, girl, I'm autumn
Falling like the leaves
Maybe you should fall through
K.I.S.S. Me

[Verse: The Thought]
It's the official, man who get to skip school
No pistol, I can handle with my fists, dude
I'm installed and I'm gearing up to boot
An insult, if you think I'm one to shoot
I ain't trying but a suit, I got diamonds in my eyes
Stealing all your loot when I see Lucy in the sky
Except for all the newts, I'm a loser out of time
They don't give a toot when The Thought is put to rhyme
Where you putting all your dimes? I'm wasting mine on dining
I ain't eating nowhere fancy, but I suck at fitting time in
To slave over a grill to get some chicken on my plate
I got too many bills to be spending on the steak
They say it's "give and take", but I stay hating on my taxes
'Cause I haven't an estate so Trump didn't drop my rate
Details I'mma skate right over until they break
But I don't report my cash and I suggest you do the same!
[Verse: J Soulstice]
Everything's been crazy, man, I can admit that!
In life, you either make it or break it, just like a KitKat
I'm present with my words, that also means that I gift rap
Hiphop, I live that, in my mind I been trapped
I don't wanna take orders, a side of fries and Big Mac
I've been leaving people in awe, and now they wear chin-straps
Got a lot of weight on my shoulders, I need to lift that
It feels good to have a mic and they say "yo, yo J, rip that!"
I don't want to be a table and stable the fall
Sometimes all I want to do is walk away from it all
And run away like I'm someone who's escaping the law
I wanna be at home chilling with the cable installed
With a quart of Ben and Jerry's, I said itinerary
Got friends getting married, others getting buried
For some real, like when Hagrid said: "You're a Wizard, Harry!"
They call me delusional, but I'm just a visionary
Don't think about the end result, just know where to start first!
I've been feeling lost so much that my heart hurts
Can't erase the past, yo there's permanent markers
No Google, the pursuit of happiness, now that's a hard search!
[Verse: The Thought]
Hi, my name is Jack, the brokest rapper you know!
Haven't cashed in on a track but I'm still hoping you show
Some love for all we doing, before it leading to ruin
What's beef but the stewing? It's surely more than a flow
And I adore my Lil' bro, but why y'all sleeping on me?
Like a year past time-to-go and you still brushing your teeth
I done found the pot of gold and gave a classic release
But I ain't got the SEO to get my name on a lease
I need my seat at the table, motherfucker!
I wanna eat, but my income ain't stable
It's more than beats, I'm like cable, motherfucker!
Go ahead and flip the channel for a label
I can't afford to be an artist and that shit gotta change
So I'm gambling my saving just to show my range
Y'all still rocking all this garbage? I got blood on the page
Every day I'm praying just to do this on a stage, I'm saying!

[Verse: The Thought]
Make sure you do
What you can do
To remember
You can testify!
That ain't the truth
They selling you
It all been packaged
Just to make you buy
It's fantasy
Like Xanadu
They know the patterns
That can make you cry
They'll multiply
Infinity
You gotta regulate
The rate you "why?"
You gotta be
Kidding me
Do you just let them
Motherfuckers in your mind?
You're giving me
Arrhythmia
'Cause I'm just stuck
Describing colors to the blind
I'm gonna be
Killing ya
If you just possum
And don't get up out my face
You Caterpie
I'm Lugia
You everywhere
But all your stats are fucking blank
[Verse: Smith the Poet]
No slow droop, drip my levee
Don't know the high, been low as Larry
Where the humstrum love, too heavy
Dirty soul, sobbing... Oughta
Sit back and read a book, in fact
Fuck a fucking hook, I status
Tampered, we induced the malice
Plastic, I'm the proof of sink or swim
The higher ground, we worth the rage
Of flooding clouds, evading a coward
I wrote "impressive", some slander
And watch his wreckage devour
Genres don't rip it, this Doppel-gang isn't it
Hard to hang, riddle me this, the Lang
The speak spooks the same, in lieu, loops with brain
Matched page to page, dumbed down the day
Pell-bound to date, with nothing more to say
Ay, ay, ay
Ay, yo!
Then, some hopeful heap to chase
[Verse: The Thought]
Spit facts
Don't high-tail, but get back
Woman, male or zigzag
Monorail to donor jail and skip Jack
Big Mac
Bargains for the impact
Forage for the Stimpaks
It's an out-of-storage order for the chin fat
In cash
'Cause the chip don't work right
It's the big rash
'Cause your shirts don't curve light
My borders win fast
'Cause they don't turn away the bright
It's more than melanin you blasting
It's a culture, that's divine
I'm tryna live lines
So I rhyme through my ideals
That's a big lie
But I ain't dimes for no appeals
And the ping fine
So why my bits per-second thirty?
I don't wing time
Treat this shit like Zeroh, dark and dirty
I only sing fine
It's my brother with the pipes
Call me Luigi
Take my time then I arrive
I'm over heads when I decline
I'm wishing time were on my side
You can watch your clock depleting
'Cause your back can hold a knife
(Scream)

[Verse]
Politicking polished writtens while I'm polyp ridden
Popping prisms in the posh prison where Podrick hitting
Pornographic pressure
Porsche's pack a lever for the pleasure
Prop the addict predator
Push a sack of pepper, white as the prepsters
The trifling tenant, too hype for the tension
Ten men toting their "thing"
The troublesome tangent, the Tekken and tendons
Tethered by strings
The tepid Tamagotchi
The Tennisman who got the thimble full of talkie
The tested Toms and Ozzies
The temperament you got me, tingling for toppy
The sacrificial Samson sigil
Sack Sacramento with the simpletons
Sad and sadder signals
Standing with the symbol, sport stilettos for the stints
Son of soccer moms, seen the siren's song
Sent to set the sights to sky
Summits shocked by bombs
Scene of silent strong, settled on the set to strive
The dogmatic dissident
Dawned that it isn't shit, dominated distances
Dilapidated diligence, descent of Don difference
Dependent on the dimmer-switch
Depraved and demonic
Degraded and Teutonic, doppelganger dance
Delayed from the chronic
Deflated and de-toxic, dock your dated damned
Please take some drugs
[Hook]
Please take some drugs
You got P.T.S.D., so
Please take some drugs
You got P.T.S.D., so
Please take some drugs
You got P.T.S.D., so
Please take some drugs
You got P.T.S.D., so
Please take some drugs
You got P.T.S.D., so
Please take some drugs
You got P.T.S.D., so
Please take some drugs
You got P.T.S.D., so
Yo

[Hook]
I, I, took me a tab
I, I, took me some drops
I, I, took me a tab
I, I, took me
I took me a tab then I took me some drops (I, I)
Bring your pen and your pad, 'cause time finna stop (Took LSD)
Y'all look at me mad when I'm the cream in your crop (Yeah)
I took me a tab then I took me some drops
[Verse]
Joe Rogan can change lives, dope-smoking is the dopest
I control all the grapevines, it ain't mines? It ain't the dopest
Catch all of your hangtime, the err of rhymes, we be the focused
The Hocus Pocus, the main-line, what tie you to the boat?
It's a coffin of hate-crimes, I do my lines, you choke the pockets
Don't stop on the Date Line, dodging my sign, no heart-shaped lockets
No pastries, no breadlines, awkward stares as they "Drop it!"
Tell 'em to turn heads, they Lion, predicting they dockets
Ego my sockets, I'm chemically bound to think my shit hype
Only good energy 'round here, we tryna live life
Divesting all of these sounds, better get your writs rights
Or we'll be roasting ghost-lines, judge you 'cause your skin tight
Begrudge your dim lights? Ok, cousin, handle your business
Neon soap and yellow gloves, my dude, handle your dishes
A smudge will shun bright, they stick a stun on your fitness
Shove the musty kin-types, my dude, get on with your sickness
[Hook]
I took me a tab then I took me some drops (I, I)
Bring your pen and your pad, 'cause time finna stop (Took Me)
Y'all look at me mad when I'm the cream in your crop (I, I)

[Verse: The Thought]
Excuse me, garcon?
So much fire out the kitchen, think it's arson
We just mixing what we spitting with the car bomb
Carbon fiber from the liars with the jargon
Get you higher than the lighters of the gore gun
Gorgonite just like my soldiers small as stun guns
More than night, I bring the fight upon the organs
Like that flask kept outta sight, full of store-rum
Coke for your sore gums? Ignore your dentist
Why you sitting on your bum? You should learn to be a chemist
Ain't no washing off a blemish, even less if you embellished
This that hellish epidemic, playing tennis in a crevasse
Menace for a rookie, you can call me Dennis Quaid
I'mma make you get the message, leave you reddish in the face
Here to leave you out of breath at like a seventh of my pace
Diamond in the wreckage, like it, doesn't mind my grade
I'm too chubby for the stage, I should really get down
But I'm stubborn for the rage, gotta raise me a crowd
Too strong to hit your gauge, only warning is the sound
Shaking, be not mistaken! It's the Planet Underground, woo!
[Verse: Zen Stokely]
ACW, smack you down raw!
Rain on parades, they praise the downpour!
Y'all trying to stand out? See me, I outlaw
Tell a crowd "Jump!" and they tell me "how tall?"
My worldview is a written assignment
The truth is, you gotta listen to find it
Capsized ships, when the temperatures rising like
Capital lies... Second Samuel
Carjack, manual drive, detach mandibles
If anybody say "man you a liar", Man, you a lie!
When I leave, you could keep the report card
A piston in the sports car, Fist of the North Star
Just another brother from a battle zone
Crucible, as usual, my only holy matrimone
Having no fear, but the fear itself
Having no clear, like a monk with no cheer
When fear itself, starts to fear his self
Why? All of a sudden, it becomes so clear!
Initial responses lost in translation
Money like the crop, the shops, the plantation...
[Verse: Smith the Poet]
'Cause they got half that trickle, gassing, they got the answers, Jack
Know it's hard to handle has-been, the hardest head imagined
The madness I've gathered, no hope, them live with the racket
Langston loopy, loopy, and lavished the Hughes out of habit
Just oughta get a wave, underwater, I hung, the keys are hollow
Mellow, but hold the grotto, guessing I'll owe tomorrow
Some pleasantry as effigy, a separate need, I step at least
With pep for peace I rest the leash, sheesh
Got past that dismal glass! Said they got it from the Bat
With the cauldron, you'd imagine, don't gather from the rafters
No hold up, heed the rapping
Mask in riddles, gagged, said they got the answers, ass
Know it's hardly random as-is, the hardest yet to stand-in
Will leave your bitch abandoned so write a bitch some baggage
This week on hitters? Hazards, saw fit to overlap them
We sicken the slap, twist, and timber the task
Just speak when no one listens, to me, living is cheap!
Dirt weed, you ain't shit kid! Given but not seen!
Through the headlights of what isn't Soundcamp or Bandcloud
POTUS, my pen loud, quote this and sit down
With an eighth of sour piss...

[Intro: The Thought]
After we're done recording this one
PJ, you down to go like, hit the weed shop or something?
Real quick? 'Cause I just like, I can't, I can't like survive without weed
Like, what the fuck is this? Not California, or something?
Hahaha!
[Hook: The Thought]
It's like duck, duck, goose
Fate don't give a fuck, dude, you have to choose
Ain't you drank enough? Dude, it's up to you!
It's like duck, duck, goose
It's like duck, duck, goose (Quack)
You don't give a fuck, what you have to do
Wasting all your bucks on your trash ass booze
Like you love to lose
[Verse: The Thought]
You ain't talking your way out the stank up on your breath
You got vodka on your mouth and a stain on your dress
Don't know how you walking out like you still looking your best
You just drama on the prowl, playing hooky to rest
You ain't a rookie, I guess? You just a cookie to mice?
Giving up the nookie, 'cause they came up and spoke to you twice
You love the white on your rice, long as typing is nice
Don't mind that you became the stereotype of winos tonight
You like the dinos that bite! That play that vinyl and write
Romantic poetry they never share while holding a mic
They got the gold that you like, but they too old to ignite
The spark you keeping colder than a Polar Bear on ice
You like 'em praying for your pussy while they paying for your drinks
'Til they elevate to pushy and you "need some time to think"
Spend your weekends in the clink, 'cause you got pulled over
You too friendly with the brink without a four-leaf clover
[Hook: The Thought]
It's like duck, duck, goose
Fate don't give a fuck, dude, you have to choose
Ain't you drank enough? Dude, it's up to you!
It's like duck, duck, goose
It's like duck, duck, goose (Quack)
You don't give a fuck, what you have to do
Wasting all your bucks on your trash ass booze
Like you love to lose
[Verse: Infinity Chakras]
It's a problem making choices
Why the fuck are homies giving all their voices, it's pointless
Like a gasp, when your brother has a grasp
On a bottle, every waking second, know that
Time is borrowed, the sorrow of all that fall victim
Now all the calls missing, so many fam tripping
On a call of Jack's piss, and it's called
And it's called, and it's called an -ism by most
And it's like religion that goes to every nation then grows
Why we feeling like we need a drink? Why? Yeah, ay
Why we feeling like we need to thieve? Why? Oh, yeah
[Outro: Infinity Chakras]
No more fiending for a potion, no more feeling like you broken
Get with the times yeah, and motions, yeah, yeah
No more fiending for a potion, no more feeling like you broken
Get with the times yeah, and motions, yeah, yeah, yeah
No more fiending for a potion, no more feeling like you broken
Get with the times yeah, and motions, yeah, yeah
No more fiending for a potion, no more feeling like you broken
Get with the times yeah, and motions, yeah

[Hook: The Thought]
Where we going?
What we doing?
Don't you make a fool out of me
Working toward composure
Free me from your quotas
Don't overdose on my energy
You'll make a fool out of me
Where we going?
What we doing?
Don't you make a fool out of me
Seems all the burgers Boca
So, "callate tu boca!"
They like don't you worry 'bout a thing
Make a fool out of me
[Verse: The Thought]
It's on me if you fool me once
Ignorance is free, I'mma roll my blunt
Fool me twice, I'mma cool my front
Third time, I'm on you like, "this old, or what?"
You can roll your dice on the fourth trick
Motorbike on the cold, slick
Click, click, where the brakes give out
Pick yourself up with your graveyard clout
Yo, when you ever tell the truth, dude?
No one yelling, we won't shoot you
Playing Blue's Clues with the funds you owe
Thinking you Who's Who at your cousin's show
Copied cadences for a buzz or growth
But you only got 'bout a dozen bros
I ain't sucrose on the average, got a lot of baggage
When they hear me, they like "how do you manage?"
I don't got a lot of friends
Looking like I'm homeless 'cause a dude don't follow trends
I would take a shot at Pence
If I thought my fat ass could get over the fence
Not a rookie on the bench
I'm the vet that they never seem to let play ball (Put me in, coach!)
Got a duty to the stench
Word to Dame Judi Dench, where my night sky falls
Never break my bonds
Find yourself messing with a Barry, oh!
And my word is bond
If my life goes to plan, I won't marry
Thinking that it's scary when they fight for this?
You can risk your life for the knife you dished
Ordinary, though it's not my wish
It's time to pass the mic right to Smith
[Verse: Smith the Poet]
Given time, indeed the tyrant
Live a lie, I dream hydraulics
Candy-painting walls with college knowledge
But hold that Triller, child
And cautious, carbon copy that! Jazz cabbage
Molasses, I spit, it's stagnant, lavish havoc, has-been!
Hasn't passed his blunt, debunk we bastards like numb!
Pass me that passive we puff, Palace, I bask in my bluff
'Cause I don't know where you're from!
No, there ain't nowhere to run! No!
Frantic, the phallic, I funk
Factual frazzled the flux
Actual chasms, I cuss
Flashing that flaccid for fuck's sake!
The Stratis, I strum straight
Stacking, I stunt great
That balance ballad someday
Won't fall for you, don't love May!
But June's July, just won't advise
To fake the fluff, or flake and flub away
Won't fool my yesterday, babe
Live long and prosper
'Cause I'm her fool imposter, no
[Outro: The Thought]
Don't you make a fool out of me
Don't you make a fool out of me
Fool me once, fool me twice
Fool me once, fool me twice

[Verse: The Thought]
BLAQKNOIZ
Losing moods of brooding bruisers
Lute or flute, the noose get looser
Down the luge, with booze profusion
Neutered shooter boofed collusion
Attitude that few can bear
The track get chewed up with the hare
The ladder drew, I do declare
The matter new as Boomer Care
My Coo-Ca-Roo, my "ain't it fair?"
My lover soothe in shoes prepared
The butter cruised right through the lair
And looted brews infused with pear
My prudent prune, my salty brine
The student's rune was left behind
They true to you at calling time
But proving goofed for Schmaltzy lime
Come again? I don't think I heard you right?
Y'all been buzzing off the gin while we smoking on that flight
Nothing in your inner ear sincere or nearing worthy light
Covered up with beer to steer the sneers to those who hold the knife
Handles made of mantle, I candle heat but not The Edge
Bant-abandoned Lando, scandals over teeth then drop the sledge
Stand in broken sandals, like I'm stooping to my last resort
Land on your piano, like we flew the coop without the stork
[Hook: The Thought]
So don't keep me in that box
Where you got your dirty socks
All of me is novel tea
So honestly just let me rock
They don't need me at the spot
When I'm a shepherd, come again?
Now they treat you like a leper
'Cause you lecturing a friend
So don't put me in that jury
If you tryna worry-not
Get your vision fucking blurry
With an elevator drop
I don't ever wanna stop
Blessing records, come again?
In the prison of the debtors
Just for pressuring the pen
[Verse: Zen Stokely]
Never been high-maintenance, just high and half-naked since
"Patience is a virtue", I'll probably never stay convinced
Of anything, if anything, we made it to the main event
A long while ago, as far as I would know
Pharmacological, tell me "What's the protocol?"
When it's not a pro to call for all the shit we hope to solve
What matters most, and is it deeper than me?
Yo, I have to smoke and wrap a leaf of some tree
Watch me catapult, like releasing a key
Blast radius, as radiant as could be
I'm talking leveling up, you probably peeping the fade
I hear the Devil is clutch, you probably think it's a game
Playa! Play on, it's just a play on words
Perhaps a seance inside of this societal herd
Hey ma, would you mind if we went together?
She replied, "When?" and I replied, "Whenever"
[Hook: The Thought]
So don't keep me in that box
Where you got your dirty socks
All of me is novel tea
So honestly just let me rock
They don't need me at the spot
When I'm a shepherd, come again?
Now they treat you like a leper
'Cause you lecturing a friend
So don't put me in that jury
If you tryna worry-not
Get your vision fucking blurry
With an elevator drop
I don't ever wanna stop
Blessing records, come again?
In the prison of the debtors
Just for pressuring the pen
[Verse: Marcus Lee]
Lacking patience ss I'm waiting for my penance to yield
Fruits of labor I been savoring depression for real
Come again? I'm kinda done with that, I said it for real
Restarting is the hardest but I'm ready to build
I'm ready to kill whoever went and said he ain't ill
Or that he lost it, Bitch, you lost it, I've accosted all my losses
Now I'm cautious when I'm crossing
So be cautious when you cross him
He's an artist, but he also spits so awesome, He's the hardest
Come again? Yeah I said it, I'm atrocious, man, of course, it's facts
Smooth, singing, slick talker's back, I will boss this map
The boy flow like a faucet, jack, what kinda sauce is that?
I don't know, but I don't flow, It's like I go inside my mind to mine it
Tryna find some gold while finding goals, then I write it
Rhyming with my whole soul, I guess that's why I go yo
I've been going thru some ups and downs, it's like a yo-yo
I've been under pressure, but don't diamonds come from coal yo?
A nigga sighing "I don't know, yo"
But at the same time a nigga shining like his soul glow
And I am lying in on the floor, 'cause a nigga gotta fly, but now my guy is flying solo
[Hook: The Thought]
So don't keep me in that box
Where you got your dirty socks
All of me is novel tea
So honestly just let me rock
They don't need me at the spot
When I'm a shepherd, come again?
Now they treat you like a leper
'Cause you lecturing a friend
So don't put me in that jury

[Verse: The Thought]
This is culture, this is human expression
This is fighting tooth and nail just to make an impression
We the soldiers, we the compass direction
We the anxious creatives, tryna conquer depression
This an art form, this an education for free
This an imperfection, so they got some mocking for me
We the platform, we the documentary three
We the drug-addicted, cause they been ignoring our pleas
Who gon' stand up? who gon' come for our necks?
Who gon' designate a rape out of consensual sex?
Now they pissed off? now they speak from the chest?
Now they organized, and rioting and triggered by text
This is awkward, this is taboo to speak
This is clipping your wings so you stay flapping your beak
We the paupers, we the priests in the creek
We the predatory planet that devours the meek, ay, yo
[Hook: Jonnie Bars]
Stimulate the conscious, though
Understand the process, yo
It's all about your mindset
Living out these rhymes I wrote
I need that reminder, yo
Yo, ay, yo, ay, yo
Manifest the shine that glows
Edison defined it, yo
Prove it with your knowledge!
Ideas over time will grow
But that system don't play kind, you know
Stick together, they can't stop it
[Verse: Jonnie Bars]
Self-sabotage being abolished
A la mode, peep how the style switch
She "Sapio-", no fellatio
She give me brain when I need knowledge
I be Almighty as the dollar
A Demi-God, I thank my momma
Felt evils rooted from my father
Them ego trips, a harsh reminder
To delete some bad habits so my journey doesn't follow
Learning curve, just discerning worth, working for tomorrow
Preparation made today, word to the Carpe Diem
Open to peace, with hopes it's willing to stay, but still
[Hook: Jonnie Bars]
Stimulate the conscious, woah
Understand the process, though
It's all about your mindset
Livin out these rhymes I wrote
I need that reminder, yo
Yo, ay yo, ay, yo
Manifest the shine that glows
Edison defined it, yo
Prove it with your knowledge
Ideas over time will grow
But that system don't play kind, you know
Stick together
[Verse: The Thought]
This is progress, this is blood in the gutter
This is brandishing your weapon cause you're hearing the mutters
We the contest, we the light in your shutter
We the massacre, of butterflies before they can flutter
This a conquest, this a cultural blender
This a revolutionary definition of gender
We the tauntine, we the Ethos of Bender
We the unrequited love, you been returning to sender
Who gon' cock back? Who gon' blast on the cops?
Who gon' hit the streets when the hat starts to drop?
Now they weakened, now they boarding their shops?
Now they hiding out in terror and hoarding their crops?
This is suspect, this is shameful to say
This is raising up your taxes while they docking your pay
We the success, we the end of your days
We the innkeepers, how you plan on earning your stay?
I'm saying
You better think again

[Verse]
Thought the Anarchist:
"I make plans on the stand of the land's darkest"
Body bags on the cam like it's last harvest
Hundred grand, understand? This unmanned garbage
Thought the Anarchist:
"I'm the only man standing that can plan for this!"
With that army man bandage, gotta ban our bliss
Runners to the stand, abandoned, just to land our miss
Thought the Anarchist:
"They only gonna listen if you coming with the fist!"
They need that strongman beating on their chest and playing tricks
So we gotta bomb these institutions down to the bricks
Thought the Anarchist:
"It only counts as freedom if there ain't no politic!
Executions on occasion are approved if we don't fit
Rulers with their designations and abusers with a list"
Thought the Anarchist:
"I don't need to see no psychoanalyst
They just gonna tell me I'm a masochist
Thinking they can tread on the basilisk" (Hiss)
Thought the Anarchist:
"They don't understand that they just dumb as shit
Except them libertarian and an-cap kids
'Cause I ain't contrarian to nationalists!"
Thought the Anarchist:
"We won't need police if we get cannabis
No-one out there feasting like they ravenous
Man is not a beast, he's just a pacifist!" (Peace and love, my brother!)
Thought the Anarchist:
"I know this ain't denial 'cause I got fans on Twitch"
Filling up the vial with that standard twist
Coughing up the bile when I just slam y'all fifth
Thought the Anarchist:
"I might be fourteen, but I'm a man for this!
I don't need support beams, I'mma stand and wince
'Cause we got a land to fix"
(We gon' make it great again, huh?)
You punk ass little kid

[Verse: The Thought]
The disaffected malcontent
With the "Malcolm in the Middle" scent
The disconnected internet
Got the talcum powder to Maleficent, made a couple cents
Set a precedent, spite the predecessors
Learn what pressure meant, writing your professors
Met a president, right to drastic measures
Yearn the measurements, fight for your displeasure
The dynamo that made it through Idaho
Indigo with ammo from Oregano and SMPL
From Zydeco to Character's, I dunno
But I feel like I lost my gusto and my dimples
The mispronunciation
The guaranteed accusations of cultural appropriation
The mis-de-education
The completed serenations, unless I watch my dictation
[Hook: The Thought]
Imitation of a great can only get you so far
(Get you far!)
We collide a couple atoms but we can't create a star
(Create a star!)
Indignation ain't ignition when you're starting a car
(Start the car!)
You can have a Meeseeks, but he can't get you to par
(Get you to par!)
Imitation of a great can only get you so far
(Get you far!)
We collide a couple atoms but we can't create a star
(Create a star!)
Elevation ain't elation when you pay with a card
(Pay with card!)
In debt, you twenty feet-deep and they raising the bar
(Raising the bar!)
[Verse: Smith the Poet]
'Cause limitation ain't my fate, to fault to flagrant and flawed
The narrative imperative, don't quote, your reasons are wrong
You lack a thesis, the plot, seep a seek for applause
Sift the spoken, I sparked, it's where these posers, a pause
But hold the bedrock, we underground and here's some roots
Learn to fail, dog, mistake yourself for who you knew
Curse my tales, tall, like the elephant in the room
I speak that seldom, same as Lou, just see it different, I come scoop
The made-to-barter, my pre-mandated bother
Of late, my bullshit problems, giving half to who's
Last to lose, passion proved, the past removes the rational
Ready, impractical, smitten, in love, her numb, who isn't?
Wearing a master mimic, the driver take a minute
To hate the hate forbidden, fathom no favor fit in
To those who bear the bitching! But know the fucking difference
Between the real and written, I speak in skews of gimmicks, 'cause
[Hook: The Thought]
Imitation of a great can only get you so far
(Get you far!)
We collide a couple atoms but we can't create a star

Indignation ain't ignition when you're starting a car

Elevation ain't elation when you pay with a card
(Pay with card!)
In debt, you twenty feet-deep and they raising the bar
(Raising the bar!)
[Verse: Marcus Lee]
I think I'm stuck in my head too much
The problem is that I said as such, repeatedly
I frequently keep my problems so secretly
Until I snap, or until I'm coming across a beat for me
To release to, I'm tryna be a sifu
But the universe be like "kid there's so much more that I could teach you"
I'm looking for unity 'cause it's new to me
Got all my eggs in being a newer me that's more true to me
I'm stuck between "I'm not a G.O.A.T. but I am soon to be"
And fighting off depression and hoping that it don't ruin me
I'm on the edge, I'm sharp as a knife that's slicing thru the beef
I'm on the edge, I feel like Mufasa, falling to defeat
I'm on the edge, close to the water, feel I'm losing me
But at the same time, I'm gaining more, so I'm game for war
My people like, "what are you waiting for? Take it serious"
But truthfully, Lee is unsure of just how sure he is
Concurrently, I feel I'm in rare form, so, therefore
My enemies, I'm running through their force in bear form
Say a prayer for 'em, 'cause I don't care for 'em
And they don't care for me, cue the tears formin'
[Hook: The Thought]

[Verse: The Thought]
I said yo, what up? It's ya boy!
The one who got the master plan but stay playing coy
Yo, what's good with it? It's yo mans
The one without a ploy that claims he got the master plan
I'm like a dog chasing cars, meticulously well-thought-out
Like a cat chasing lasers, I'm on the prowl
I'm the flashy chains you wearing that stay scaring off the robbers
The bloody stains you wearing that ease the minds of coppers
I'm the empty of your wallet that keeps the pussy wet
The couch potato playing Halo, just to break a sweat
I'm the extra year of college that be lowering your debt
The skinny and athletic that been breathless in the set
I'm paramedic sirens that make the children cheer
The canine tooth of lions that whisper in your ear
I'm blood-curdling screams you really wanna hear
The ulcer in your liver, that made your doctor give you beer
I'm sleight of hand to steal your nose, but why do I got two?
I'm a bending of your garden-hose, keep water flowing through
I'm tight on funds to get home, get paid to take the train
A sending-up of all-we-know, that takes away my pain!
[Hook: The Thought]
That Contra Diction
Contrary to belief, there's no restrictions!
You aren't what you eat, more what you listen
Sharp without the teeth like Lisa Simpson
You contradiction!
[Verse: J Soulstice]
Yo, check
Conscious creative with a little bit of self-doubt
Everyone's focused on sports, as a kid I got left-out
Stuck inside my bubble, thinking "how should I express, now?"
I'm stressed out, I hate the feeling when you're really empty
But not necessarily sad, it's really deadly
Like a crocodile wishing we could stop and smile
I pocket-dialed my past and now the drama's wild
Yeah, I used to care too much and now I live with no care
A sign that says "You're Here!" in the middle of nowhere
It's almost like the air that you breathe, wait there's no heir
In the unknown and never knowing makes you so scared
Damn, I had to close my eyes so I could see myself
Make me say it again, I never repeat myself
Smart enough to stand alone, also know I need some help
It's not just about friends and fam, it's how you treat yourself
Uh, on this journey, it's your path to choose
Yeah, the one you have, the one you have to lose
Stop looking to lose yourself, no Eminem song
In common with nothing, then everything just went wrong
I still haven't cursed in no verse, every bar
[Verse: The Thought]
Ain't nobody stopping in here!
'Cause we all retarded and the traffic too severe
I'm Macho Man Randy Savage, shedding a tear
The forty-day crossing to the city really near
I'm more than meets the eye, 'cause I'm basic as fuck
I only dream of dying, 'cause I live, laugh, love
I'm powered and responsible, on my knees in prayer
I'm sweating bullets in the snow, I guess I'll add a layer
I'm the broken instrument you play to nail you a solo
I'm the church confessional that we been pushing for promo
I'm the broken innocence you pay to mail you a solo
I'm the Nickelback that you been confusing for Shlomo
I'm the sexual assault that gets you elected the POTUS
The clean and sober living while injecting the lotus
I'm the imperfections and mistakes that make me a treasure
I'm the escalated pain that you corrected as a pleasure
I said, yo! What up? It's the guy!
That batter up assumptions just to give 'em a fry
Yo, yo, yo, what's really good? It's that dude
The world battered up and fried just to give him a chew
[Hook: The Thought]
That Contra Diction
Contrary to belief, there's no restrictions!
You aren't what you eat, more what you listen
Sharp without the teeth like Lisa Simpson
You contradiction!

[Verse: Godfather Rito]
It be the Godfather, Rito be thy name
When the beat hit your soul it don't affect us quite the same
Bow down or bend the knee, boy, better have my change
When I come to your city, I need all my dimes and pennies
Feel no pity for you penny-pinching niggas looking pretty
I hit him like Rihanna, Chris Brown'd him until he's silly
I don't play 'round, better understand, hope he feel me
You fucking with the King, I send the prince back to Philly
I'm the Don of this shit, making moves with my fists
Knuckles deep in the soup cooking up with my wrists
And now I got the potion that they rap about
But I think it's the passion that they lacking, ouch
Wind blowing but the kush blew my hair back
I'm still going strong, you quitters can't compare to that
Still blowing strong, cruising down Fairfax
Top-down, shades on, listening to real raps
[Sample]
Hey, hey hey, hey-hey hey
What you say, get this money?
[Verse: The Thought]
Real Raps like tear gas made to bash your ears
What, your gears turning? Imagine that your action wasn't years too late
Stuck inside your state, enrich your mind to match the average
That you find up on the stage, time for fear or laughter?
Will you rhyme for here and after or just to line your pockets?
Doesn't even matter if you answer
I can hear it in your pockets, all the markets that you target for the stocks
Should've caught the bar from Moody, not the cat, it's just the fox
Tick-tock, it's hiphop, that been knocking at your door
Not a wristwatch we working for, it's a culture that's for sure
Keep your wits about you when it's quitting time, else might get replaced
You should see the look upon your face
For heaven's sake, it's absolutely crucial that we blaspheme
'Cause the way they blast fiends is in the scripture if you gleam it
All you want to see, you seeing, if I need to be the seeker
Let that beat up in my being, all I need comes out a speaker
[Bridge: Montae Montana]
It ain't even nothing
Check, check, one-two
You know what it is, son, word is bond!
[Verse: Montae Montana]
Listening to real raps
I'mma put my spirit through the pencil so they feel that
Nigga, did you hear that? Turn the light that blinds to the spectrum
Describe me; he down to roll the dice so respect him
Tryna stay productive, I'mma line up and check em
And when it comes to rhyming I'mma treat it like it's Tekken
Kick a nigga out his shoes you confused it took a second
I'm coming rapid-fire, swifter than an instant message
Still tryna fill my pockets looking like I made a killing
Jordan 1s looking like a damn chameleon in his feelings
Wrist getting tired, I been working with the skillet
The passion go the distance, put that shit on my existence
Stay focused exactly on what the question is
You hate on it, contributing to the deficit
Stay on point, and centered, no time for hesitance
They think that double "M" stands for minutes that I'm measuring
[Sample]
We dedicate this to these people out here getting bank
[Verse: N01ses]
Uh, what's done in the dark will come to light
Suckers want to come and see us but couldn't behold the sight
I bleed acid when I get cut, it's just my life
If my momma seen the drugs that I done, she'd lose her mind
No joke, I couldn't give up the formula if I tried
Meanwhile, niggas in your click, running at the mouth
Have 'em running like The Nile, that's more than a couple miles
Eyes at attention, we show up and watch 'em adjust their smile
I've been sitting in the dungeon just thinking about my demons
Got a good girl, but thinking 'bout where I could leave my semen
Cold nigga when it's sunny, just join him, you couldn't beat him
When he speak, he give you something to feel and it's undefeated
Look, blunt in my clutches, I don't smoke no dutches
Cruising down the boulevard, I'm in the game, I get my touches
Working hard to be a superstar, don't care about a roofless car
Just give us our respect and acknowledge that we go stupid hard
Nigga
3Blok!

[Hook: The Thought]
What you waiting for?
Ain't nobody gonna come around and give you hope
Unless your body going 'round just on the gift of dope
You ain't motivated, what you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
Ain't nobody gave you that dollar note
Chokehold on the game, me and my brother both
Your mind ain't activated though, what you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
[Verse: The Thought]
Carbon copy of the mockery, monopoly
Over all the awkward motherfuckers tryna copy me
They don't got no body, just a parliament lobotomy
Dawdle for the oddity like the Olive is on top of me
You got to be a part of me for me to even hear your rhyme
Getting all your toppings free but skipping all the pie
Got a finger-licking crop and no apologies to cry
Steady slinking toward the top 'cause we just want to see 'em die
We just wanna see 'em die, 'cause they mutilate the Earth
All these species had to fry so their pockets gain some girth?
And we speaking all the time like we want to make this worth
But we don't want to put in the work
We worship quirks, the youngest Turks, delivery of propaganda
Y'all wanna twerk while the iceberg sees to all our manners
Whether cutting through the steel or melting 'til we drown
What we waiting for? When all this bullshit going down?
[Hook: The Thought]
What you waiting for?
Ain't nobody gonna come around and give you hope
Unless your body going 'round just on the gift of dope
You ain't motivated, what you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
Ain't nobody gave you that dollar note
Chokehold on the game, me and my brother both
Your mind ain't activated though, what you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
Ain't nobody gonna come around and give you hope
Unless your body going 'round just on the gift of dope
You ain't motivated, what you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
Ain't nobody gave you that dollar note
Chokehold on the game, me and my brother both
Your mind ain't activated though, what you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
[Verse: Smith the Poet]
What you waiting for? Some peace of mind?
Kinda vague... I swore to set aside
Stills, I still stride, just don't feel right
Ain't no letting go, it's high tide
Ain't no celestine, they craving smite
Luxury's in a piece, some fucking flight
Lucky that spell speak, the test of time
Ain't no ceiling, G, I don't advise
To spies of mine, glad the day is ours
The truly straightened, life the mayhem God
Just a plaintiff and I'm jaded, y'all
I know I'm hating, of what I wasn't, dog
How to restate this? Ain't no repertoire
Ain't no vacant! Only dreaded jog
Your fucking brain, bitch, what you waiting for?
Why you stationed? Bent, some fucking boat
And just face it!
What you waiting for?
Ooooooh
[Bridge: The Thought]
BLAQKNOIZ
Yo, this ain't the intro
[Hook: The Thought]
I'm the last man standing
Where the Sandman scanning
Through the stacks of ash
Battle where the matter crash
Saddle on the camel's back
Paddles never battered Jack
Cattle for the slaughter
Cut your head off
[Verse: The Thought]
Lost the bargain at the crossroads
Please don't let my boss know
Oh, you want to know the cost of my losses?
Well, I got snow
Snowlike frozen tears, or sober fears
Blow away my inner voice in those coldest years
My moral teachers taught me hate
Steered me through the gate in '99
Not the finest wine in taste
More like bitter fucking brine
Stoned on the Rhine in my daydreams
No more time for Mabie's
Haven't heard from Tom and Katie
Watch those Yankees fucking doodle
They treat me feral like I got rabies or AIDS
And it's they who need safety
From the gun at my noodle
But they'd rather watch the clock
Hope the problem solves itself
Like my father's fucking cock
Didn't bomb my mental health
No one wants responsibility for what's under the rug
When they see me they ain't happy and won't give me a hug
And the way they treat my music like it covers the drugs?
Love you all, but, ain't it time that enough is enough?
I'm tryna catch a fade, fam, I'm calling y'all bluff
You can't cover for my rapist and expect forgiveness
Y'all can threaten legal action but I think that shit guts
You don't want none of this on the public record
I'mma keep speaking truth until they shoot me for it
Golden goose up in the booth, you lost up in the forest
All my verses soylent green, I'm feeding me to you
There's a war on my art and that's why I'm bleeding through
Ooh
