It's just some boom bap You can sit and wonder "how they do that?" Cut my shit to stubble but it grew back Lightning over thunder if you knew Jack, ooh snap Boom bap You can sit and wonder "how they do that?" Cut my shit to stubble but it grew back Lightning over thunder if you knew Jack, but too bad I been scraping shit together Started at a deficit but hanging by a tether And I've never had it better than the present day Fangs out for the debtors tryna sever my pay Who's that playing with the lever that decides where I go? Hope you brace yourself for Trevor's tires, slide in the snow Help the snideness to slow, those doubting highest of flows Not to gloat, but go retire and we'll light up the show I'll throw Matthias in the Lion's Den, call some firemen By time they arriving, he's been grinded down to vitamins Sorry for the violence! But the war that we've been fighting Won't be won without the slightest bit of dying men When the current is in history books Well it sure does look like the work of mystery crooks now But we learning who took us for easy bishops and rooks Go fetch a bucket from the brook before we burn the hook down It's just some boom bap You can sit and wonder "how they do that?" Cut my shit to stubble but it grew back Lightning over thunder if you knew Jack, ooh snap Boom bap You can sit and wonder "how they do that?" Cut my shit to stubble but it grew back Lightning over thunder if you knew Jack, but too bad Life's too short to be stuck in survival mode There has to be another way, I won't stop 'til I find the road Someone understand, like you speaking some type of code This is for the child who had to carry the entire load Where the lies at? You can't deny facts In a never-ending timelapse, like Samurai Jack Got cousins didn't come back from the trip to Iraq And the ones that did come back are wishing for their lives back How people feel about each other has nothing to do with me That changed when someone said "how would you feel if you were me?" Truthfully, I'm a reflection of my community If we can't rise above ourselves then there will be no unity Looks like where we're headed, there won't be no you and me If you stop depositing excuses, see what you could be BLAQKNOIZ snapping like poets doing a slam set Mad flex, I'm not even who I am, yet It's just some boom bap You can sit and wonder "how they do that?" Cut my shit to stubble but it grew back Lightning over thunder if you knew Jack, ooh snap Boom bap You can sit and wonder "how they do that?" Cut my shit to stubble but it grew back Lightning over thunder if you knew Jack, but too bad Said "I move", but they judging me, budget, it's no budging me My budgeting be like buck fifties, I'm 50 Cent shy of G-Units But still a thousand like some G units But nobody could dilute it, in due to the theme music This is what I gotta… or what I gotta do Like when I gotta do, like a style that's not in due time For most of us holding what's not in lieu Retrievers not as golden for topics that's taught in school I print cess, you princess They pimp hoes, I flip checks Chaka Khan with Shaka on, I'm Prince-set For every bench-mark, I surely will bench-press With Semtex, it's like a tricky collage I'd rather bump Bahamadia before Nicki Minaj In an itty bitty garage out in Sicily, Prague With this canal from a symphony, the City of God It's just some boom bap You can sit and wonder "how they do that?" Cut my shit to stubble but it grew back Lightning over thunder if you knew Jack, ooh snap Boom bap You can sit and wonder "how they do that?" Cut my shit to stubble but it grew back Lightning over thunder if you knew Jack, but too bad

Be willing to forgive All that wasn't done to you If we're lynched for every sin Never change our attitudes Be willing to indulge All that you've never asked If our truths we can't divulge Never take ourselves to task If a body's what you want, here is bone, gristle, flesh Purify of my hobby, vying freedom from your desk Who needs who to cash a check? Keyed up, short of breath Get support from the tech, pleading words to leave my neck See the dirt? They're growing debt, placings bets on our payments Would you still be alive if people only said what they meant? Question when we stained it, question when we stayed in Slave away to spend more your labor in the Caymans Worshipping the famous debaters, given figurines Frame you as a rapist to bait you, as you scream Learned our ethics from the sadists, journaling our dreams We can copy it and paste it, we can react and retweet We got GameShark for Instagram, dating apps for kids This shit inflate our egos while we desecrate our ids We only dig you at the surface, judged for what you did Spill a cup of your potential with a bullet in your lid Be willing to forgive All that wasn't done to you If we're lynched for every sin Never change our attitudes Be willing to indulge All that you've never asked If our truths we can't divulge Never take ourselves to task I'm past the doorsteps, getting my foot in the door Represents the blind threats, borderline perfectionist Meaning I'm timeless, your common sense looks next to my idleness I send no shots, best believe that I don't miss Not being the GOAT is where these rappers get pissed But my readiness and willingness comes fully equipped But my time is my time, so watch me eclipse Variety trips with dominant grip Rap like I'm mad at God, like I live with a chip On the shoulder, I'm the shit, so bashful the older they live Full exposure, I whoop their ass free of charge Then strike like a cobra, I live in the stars Handing out life sentences, that was a bar Me? I raise it from my phrases, outdated like belated birthdays On worst days my guns blaze, look both ways before you cross me Karma coming back soon, and I'm living largely Be willing to forgive All that wasn't done to you If we're lynched for every sin Never change our attitudes Be willing to indulge All that you've never asked If our truths we can't divulge Never take ourselves to task We the slumlord slipping, drug like dead digits Dug the own difference, a phase from addiction Dazed without interest, no pay, I'm pissed 'Cause I'm beige, with hours to make Sense of the glaze, you bend when you're brave enough To run amok, without a fuck, I'll name the dunce Delay the fun, y'all hate the love, the crave in the cut I stay 'cause I trust, no one I'm above Your days are buzzed, in rain a rust I'll keep in touch with Mary and Mud Let's bury the suds, 'cause Larry was much Like inhaling the rush, we don't care to discuss The ladder you love Will scatter and crush, what matters to us? Imagine it, bruh! Smith! Be willing to forgive All that wasn't done to you If we're lynched for every sin Never change our attitudes Be willing to indulge All that you've never asked If our truths we can't divulge Never take ourselves to task Be willing to forgive All that wasn't done to you If we're lynched for every sin Never change our attitudes Be willing to indulge All that you've never asked If our truths we can't divulge Never take ourselves to task

I don't mean to smother, just applying my two cents To my brothers and my sisters, aligning lines Instead of splitting bread Instead of splitting bread (Where the wine at?) Toasting up another from this past week, filled with dread Monday creeping on me, back again, a nine to five Until that Friday hit 'Til that Friday hit Cycle might keep repeating 'til I've grown in to my death Hoping not to displease the people that think highly When I'm not feeling my best I'm not feeling my best (No!) Possibly lies to a couple people in the process Possibly left my guard up, didn't mean to flaunt it I swear I swear, I swear, I swear Possibly lies to a couple people in the process Possibly left my guard up, didn't mean to flaunt it I swear I swear, I swear, I swear, I swear Ooooh Ooh-ooh-ooh I swear 'Til I run it, run it, run it, run it Run it back again Run it, run it back again Don't think you telling the truth, under that laughter, canned Lose trust if you abused, but don't just ruse a man Whose lust has got you confused? Huh? Can't keep track of your excuses! Why don't you install a loser ban? You sus, you just see through my elusive stance Ooh, fuck, never wanted you to move the veil 'Cause the truth of us is the dynamic very frail You got to get it through to me, that I caused the dystrophy 'Cause from where my feet are planted, it's looking differently So tell me, what's it gonna be? Could you solve the mystery? Of why you think I'm shifty and disregard monogamy? 'Cause I've been thinking 'bout you like every minute of the week Since the day that we first met and freestyled on a beat You're the one I wanna keep, so why you making this so hard? Why you sitting there and bragging that you always on your guard? The only muse amused except for you has been the art From the start, so why you tryna pull apart? Girl, I swear That I've been true to you! Girl, I swear For me, it's only you! Girl, I swear…

Amphetamine drive, I could see it in your eyes You were saying you were off it, now you're fucking exhausted And now your body is gone And your mind you left behind up in that bottle of strong And it was wrong, you were carried very close to the Sun You were young and all you needed was somebody to love All you got was a plug, if you want to make it right Then be the fighter I know, you can grow! You told me you were fine But you were dying of pride Now you're feeling up the ceiling and you're barely alive Another line… another waste of your time I wonder, if you take it, would you die or survive? And if I cry? Would you tell me you tried? Would it stick or would you figure that you'd rather be high? I wonder why? Amphetamine drive, I could see it in your eyes I was walking in the park when you were stumbling by Heard you mumble a "hi", when you fell, I had to say That you were going to die… take your time… 'Cause it's drifting away When you take a fake or fentanyl, it buries your pain But it remains, and it was never a gain I'll love you even if I never see you again This one's for the pill-poppers Tryna get themselves killed proper Drinking more lean than water What's it gon' be? What's it gonna be? This one's for the pill-poppers There's better ways to spill dollars Look at all these teen martyrs What's it gon' be? You fixing to OD? This one's for the pill-poppers Tryna get themselves killed proper Drinking more lean than water What's it gon' be? What's it gonna be? This one's for the pill-poppers There's better ways to spill dollars Look at all these teen martyrs What's it gon' be? You fixing to OD? I'm that pauper popping reds, Dawson's Bog on Portishead And I can't stop that obfuscation, don't mistake what I have said Broken beds from greatest nights, got the same out of my nightmares Broke the stead by taking flight, hunting fame despite my eyewear And the sight means more than vision, not a fight for manumission It's a suturing of fissures, tell the truth to all the ignorant And it's different how we act, got this path from Mozenraff Mass-dissolving acid in the water coming out your tap Mac can fix your Disco, Raff still good in San Francisco RIP to Cisco, he bit that bullet betting bingo And he knew the lingo, another gringo with the spice De Lunes a Domingo, he's just too nice up on the mic What you think you're in for? Your info underestimated Don't just bring your kinfolk into the sin, you're decimating This shit should be simple, but there's confusion emanating From the lightest skin-tone, they just too busy celebrating… yeah I'mma let Raff just kill it on the sax right here Just like… This one's for the pill-poppers Tryna get themselves killed proper Drinking more lean than water What's it gon' be? What's it gonna be? This one's for the pill-poppers There's better ways to spill dollars Look at all these teen martyrs What's it gon' be? You fixing to OD? This one's for the pill-poppers Tryna get themselves killed proper Drinking more lean than water What's it gon' be? What's it gonna be?

Christening 03:25
Violence snuff the light of the living Virus, tyrants, islands, forgetting All those knives you might just wind up Christening Fascists gotta die, if decline is not a quickening Sickened by the times, they all liars, aren't you listening? Christian for the Choir but the reason kids are missing Fictional desires to "protect the family" Fix a note to your attire so they know it wasn't randomly Kill a Nazi, don't feel bad! Put 'em in a box made of concrete Even if they're cops, we don't need that Way too many shot for the Gandhi Burn a cross in the robes they lead mass Hit clubs to floss Armani We really gotta take our streets back From the Red-Baseball-Cap Army Hoping my homies get a license to carry Not just those with a home that they own 'cause they married Blown through so much ICE since Barry-O That the border zones been scary God's voice, in stereo Said "nary would I lead this way to go" But "best in show" been "in the know" Since Indigoes been left to die! Why? Violence snuff the light of the living Virus, tyrants, islands, forgetting All those knives you might just wind up Christening Fascists gotta die, if decline is not a quickening Sickened by the times, they all liars, aren't you listening? Christian for the Choir but the reason kids are missing Fictional desires to "protect the family" Fix a note to your attire so they know it wasn't randomly So "how it goes" ain't gonna fly If "adios" means "goodbye" Then sorry, Ghost, no butterflies In my pot of gold, sweet gun of mine Better run a post, try to serpentine It's just "gotta go" for the murder sprees And it's hurting me, the burglary, the perjury Evil got it easy Queasy guts at my luck in my rear view Eat so much Mickey D's, I'm a dead man Speech is dust, if they fuck with the beer too Better give up the keys to the P-van Ain't no leads? They'll falsify Ride around looking for the criminalized Power-hungry, sour lives Invaded our country, sedated our minds! Violence snuff the light of the living Virus, tyrants, islands, forgetting All those knives you might just wind up Christening Fascists gotta die, if decline is not a quickening Sickened by the times, they all liars, aren't you listening? Christian for the Choir but the reason kids are missing Fictional desires to "protect the family" Fix a note to your attire so they know it wasn't randomly Wildin' out on Kyle Rittenhouse With a smile so wide it would blind an owl Vitals down as I light the loud! "You gotta be joking, now!" But I'm dead serious Took batons to the head, I'm delirious Ain't mysterious when the riot started Provocateurs with a fire pardon Guard your door the more gets out of pocket Like a Civil War might be really popping Land of "Law and Order", focused on the borders While the quarter of a quarter of quarter rockets Swords beat chords when the Lord excuses Slow the courts for the horde's abuses Show your quarts or be more conclusive Stupid don't cut it, you're just abusive Better pray for forgiveness! Devil by day, blame it all on business Do it for the pay, then explain away the witness Better motivator than the flayed man's grimace? Think they're saviors of the same they sicken Tearing out a page if it states their limits Saddened by a cage if no one's in it Anger at the labor of escaping women Focusing on genocide Opening infected wounds Truth is, someone's gotta die For the orphaned kids you couldn't room And the righteous only multiply So best go reassess your tomb Hope crimes you couldn't justify Were worth accepting mortal doom! Violence snuff the light of the living Virus, tyrants, islands, forgetting All those knives you might just wind up Christening, christening

Donatello was a Don and not an honest fellow In Montebello with Monty off a couple portobellos Y'all, the bellows only gorgeous if you bow to industry But the ministry bit off more than they can chew with me So will it be you or me? Who makes it through the flames? Measuring utility between the beauty and the brain Y'all dookie on the pinky, shock jockeys Every couple links I hear a couple Thought copies I wanna know who got me, but I guess it's not you Every trust fall, you drop me, 'cause you missing the cue Every time I drop tunes, they just too distant to view 'Cause you prefer perfume, cover up the Pepe Le Pew My love too heavy for you, so you dismiss it as hate Tell you all what not to do, and then I suffer the wait Watch you disregard the plate I served, eat your veggies Y'all should pay me by the word, you heard my thoughts, now where my pennies? Catch 'em walking where they shouldn't be Get 'em! Catch 'em wearing what they shouldn't wear Get 'em good! Don't be messing with our energy Get 'em out the hood! 'Cause it's messy when we going there Get 'em, got 'em, good! Catch 'em walking where they shouldn't be Get 'em! Catch 'em wearing what they shouldn't wear Get 'em good! Don't be messing with our energy Get 'em out the hood! 'Cause it's messy when we going there Get 'em, got 'em, good! So ruthless, thinking "how should I do this?" Yo, who's this? Created a New Hope like George Lucas But this ain't Star Wars, I'm grounded like hard floors Lyrically do parkour, bring smoke like cigar stores Underground railroad, tryna see where this trail goes That one sparrow who turned into a young Pharaoh Who wants to step in the ring? Stop disrespecting the King It's time to wake up like the end of a dream They don't want to see you hustle, they want to see you struggle They only watch 'em play the game so they can see 'em fumble I know how hard it is to be a part of this life now The only time you got to count on is like right now There's no time in the day when you gotta decide now You change your life when you change your lifestyle Failure is never in my mind, it couldn't be an option I be sonning all these rappers like I seek adoption Catch 'em walking where they shouldn't be Get 'em! Catch 'em wearing what they shouldn't wear Get 'em good! Don't be messing with our energy Get 'em out the hood! 'Cause it's messy when we going there Get 'em, got 'em, good! Catch 'em walking where they shouldn't be Get 'em! Catch 'em wearing what they shouldn't wear Get 'em good! Don't be messing with our energy Get 'em out the hood! 'Cause it's messy when we going there Get 'em, got 'em, good!

Marlboro 100's sit on my desk Feeling heavy in my chest It's like I got nothing left To smoke I guess that's that, or maybe that's this Another hat trick, crazy as bat shit Suited up, booted up with the Hazmat Smooth as fuck, losing touch, who's the lab rat? Chewing through anxiety, embittered by his empathy Choosing to be quiet, never losing sight of getting free What happened to the Man of Steel? Samson in a hamster wheel? Grew into Aladdin, and adapted with the magic seal Daffodil sap, simple leather jacket zipper Have his bitter Master Splinter smack, the gift of chicken-scratch for dinner When I'm tryna mix and match, and match the mix to switch it back In Nick at Night, in nicks of time, with knicks and knacks, my gift of gab I guess that's that, or maybe that's this Another hat trick, crazy as bat shit Thought and Zen caught the wind, got 'em falling in Tell 'em "call a friend", see if they can hear the call within I guess that's that, or maybe that's this Another hat trick, crazy as bat shit Thought and Zen caught the wind, got 'em falling in Tell 'em "call a friend", see if they can hear the call within Marlboro 100's sit on my desk Feeling heavy in my chest Like I got nothing left To smoke I guess that's that, walking through the fusion With no Hazmat suit, here to propagate confusion Just a lab rat, tryna gain some confidence producing Asking "has Jack ever made a beat that he's then written to?" From skipping school for trash raps to setting higher standards That his peers could never manage, not just saying that to slander Take a gander at the ladder, see whose shoes have left a mark? Peruse the dark without a spark, embark on paths not lacking candor I guess that's that, or maybe that's this Another hat trick, crazy as bat shit Thought and Zen caught the wind, got 'em falling in Tell 'em "call a friend", see if they can hear the call within I guess that's that, or maybe that's this Another hat trick, crazy as bat shit Thought and Zen caught the wind, got 'em falling in Tell 'em "call a friend", see if they can hear the call within

Alright, so for this track, I need y'all to understand I'm being sarcastic as fuck, this song is a joke I don't fuck with Jordan Peterson I wrote this years before Fresh 'N Fit was a thing It's a joke Objectify you bitches like I'm Jordan cucking Peterson Supply you with the Jordans like we feeding sin Resupply you with the organs that we didn't have to harvest Realize you ain't a Titan, you relying on the garbage That you rapping, yeah, I'll predict your rhymes With each every whine, I can call it every song Say you trapping, why you acting? You ain't doing crimes With every ticket signed, smoke you in my time Smoke you in my bong, like a mole Override your woke shit with the stole Corporatized your spoken word, to sell shit Feminized your oldest son, to sell bits (and now he celibate!)

We the roots that stick to ground Steady as the wind blows We ain't ones that fear the crowd Standing by the window We the artists making sound Letting all our sins go When the wind blows… Our sins go out the window We the roots that stick to ground Steady as the wind blows We ain't ones that fear the crowd Standing by the window We the artists making sound Letting all our sins go When the wind blows… Our sins go out the window We the roots that stick to ground Steady as the wind blows We ain't ones that fear the crowd Standing by the window We the artists making sound Letting all our sins go When the wind blows… Our sins go out the window Purge Mistakes and failures, take them as a lesson If you can't make it greater, what's that make your blessings? Don't put that off 'til later, take time to address it If you don't see the signs, how will you decipher the message? Let your soul have the leverage that it needs! When the storm touches ground, let go of your greed The righteous deed in action will lead us all to perish So our sins go out the window, when redemption we cherish Not a believer in marriage, not a believer in God But when thunder comes knocking, I'm praying, it's odd Staying atop the latest of Thought's, slaying majors in the quad Maester Aemon, no auto-aim on, when it's game-on at Todd's Flame on! Rain's been tearing wood from the walls Hail and sleet and snow ain't the only things that can fall We the trees been standing tall, call yourself to station Our sins go out the window, when we demonstrating patience We the roots that stick to ground Steady as the wind blows We ain't ones that fear the crowd Standing by the window We the artists making sound Letting all our sins go When the wind blows… Our sins go out the window We the roots that stick to ground Steady as the wind blows We ain't ones that fear the crowd Standing by the window We the artists making sound Letting all our sins go When the wind blows… Our sins go out the window You can find me hidden within the Leaf, I am healing I'm looking up at the ceiling, while drowning out all my feelings I guess this here is rebuilding… it's scary, this shit is chilling I'm chilling, regardless, feel it?

I got these lemons, I'm making lemonade with 'em Like really, I do not like it, but I gotta change, that's the mission! Listen up, been a man standing in the jam candidly, like "woe is me" Been a damn shame that I ever considered letting go of me Like I wasn't roaming in a Rose, turned rose, and I rose to my feet Like it's not only us? Like, sonically, I don't be going to blows with the beat? I'm gon' be to' with the heat! Don't even know where I go when I speak! I kill on instrumentals like a beast! It's not just a flow, I've been told I go deep 'Cause I go in my soul and show me! Remember my bro told me "put your whole heart on your sleeve!" Don't ask permission, just pardon and lead, and on every track, a part of you leaves We the roots that stick to ground Steady as the wind blows We ain't ones that fear the crowd Standing by the window We the artists making sound Letting all our sins go When the wind blows… Our sins go out the window We the roots that stick to ground Steady as the wind blows We ain't ones that fear the crowd Standing by the window We the artists making sound Letting all our sins go When the wind blows… Our sins go out the window

What is it 'bout your day-to-day that makes you want to stay awake? That urge to never fade away is what informs the fabricate Don't become a minion to the thoughts that they disseminate They'll leak you of your crimson, assassinate your magistrate What is it 'bout the engines, made us need to save the world? When you don't invite your friends in, you the type to fade a girl A wispy little WASP, you shifty with the costs Threaten when you're tossed, and unable to walk Shook when you're sober, organize some fucking donors Shooting up more than a "nice guy" or a "loner" Nice whip, is she a loaner? Hate to decimate facades! That shit that slump a stoner, crates to elevate from sod Won't be rating nods! Who can test a funk? Take from chest to dunk? Paid off to bless a monk? To dispel a belief, fortify to keep the teeth Look for holes in what they preach, that's all I can teach! Who do you want to be? It begs the question Where you destined to be? It begs the question Who's the one that you see? It begs the question It begs the question Elevate your discretion Third eye, can you see? It begs the question What you selling to me? It begs the question Are you chained? Are you free? It begs the question It begs the question Elevate your discretion Who the hell is he telling me where heaven be? When they know nothing about my people, spiritually Couldn't even practice these indigenous ceremonies The salesmen selling this as profit, for my people, for their own benefit Prescribe a sick pill, then they market it as medicine Program our minds, then manipulate intelligence Begs the question, of that fraudulence is evident Just 'cause you ignorant, don't mean you innocent 'Specially you believing everything you reading off the internet It's not legitimate, too dissonant, they talk, I hear 'em but they listening Healing in nature's herbs, Earth's medicine Natural stimulant, got flow like butter, moving body ligaments And sending eminence with experiments, ain't with these Hallucinogenic specialists, that some abuse while others use 'em for their bettering Respect a person's culture, and this Earth we living in This should be the minimum, but in this school of simpletons Some consider this a high curriculum Got our own opinions, everybody's different So gotta do that due diligence, 'cause some be getting too specific Taking all them diddlings written in the Book way to effing serious Who do you want to be? It begs the question Where you destined to be? It begs the question Who's the one that you see? It begs the question It begs the question Elevate your discretion Third eye, can you see?

The gas ain't gonna do it Stupid! (Zoo-zoo-zoo-zoo) Zooted How you gonna treat me like a store good for the looting? Salute, but I'll be shooting Anything moving! (Zoo-zoo-zoo-zoo) Zooted How you gonna blow up all my DMs when you muted? You already knew it Choose to lose it 'cause you (Zoo-zoo-zoo-zoo) Zooted Boofed a couple grams, blew a grand on the putrid The reasons still eluded Or refuted when you Zooted

about

a collection of songs originally recorded between 2018-2021 that never made their way onto any projects
made new beats for most of them
re-recorded many of them
recruited new features to flesh out some of them
reapproached the mix and master on all of them
they say "kill your darlings" but never "resurrect the forgotten"
so here's a few years worth of gems that almost died on the vine
