Hebrew Flow 02:43
lyrics

I feel so solo in my physical form Alone in thought I bend and morph The temptress sold them oral stories Princess toadstool glory in castles, mosaic portraits Walking through amala networks told in a nocturne Feeling like Hijiri watching universe burn Feel like aleph, or tav, like omega Choreographed but no Kenny Ortega Kagutsuchi planned against a flying Tortuga Maturin was the hardest verse the devil jester consumer You know they call me Pennywise the cosmic entity Ain't a friend to me the Demifiend, the Embyron, descendant grief Get it from the father OCD or moms polarity Or it came before hand like a cambion historically Looping like a program or a short film, so I score the scene Psilocybin, skies I try to chase the stars to Taurus dreams Minotaur, the kindred hearted, pinned the part, as thin or dark Or light I spark the night I mark Like constellations, pride high start Chartered Scarsdale defiance, cant stay low, weight is climbing Whether you state your grind, your state of mind, the state of times, newspaper lines, or crazy reigns that wasted grain or laid to waste the mace was sprayed, the flaming graves the ovens shoved in hundreds, troubling Stumped as to how Trump is still up in his office with no repercussions Beast is grumbling, not a growl but words of underground hounds Cerberus or Hydra governments Conspiracies of valentine or Johannsen ,UMBRELLA Same with Jill they sandwich our minds Between the granny smith sour, with the grandmother, how kind A little tart they say, the tax I pay for my mind to stay ahead of the times, the education system is crime Hook: Your bars are see-through, I spit ancient Hebrew flow/ Spent a year to learn it, yeah that's young Mantissimo No oregano, I smoke west regional/ Ain't no Oregon trail , sour diesel dro Lailah tov!

Profile picture in my portfolio is indicative of my prolificity Proligerous history If I'm prolix when alcoholic you'll get the gist of me You're just appalling to me, need an antihistamine Need a whole lot of things, buy a house out in the valley For my mom and brother so they live in comfort while I tally up The maladies and dread, felt a bounty on my head Got a shit ton of meds, and with many I plead Were a few times I bled, were a few times I cried Now the only red I see is from the smoke in my eyes And the cherry burning, scary turns in life led to these barriers Between me and my parents, thought I'd get buried or put in urns Sarcophagus rest, like my apocalypse next A cacophonous hex, in the necropolis decks I'm falling to the bottom of the water ears ringing Pull myself out by the strings of the Fates, they try cleaving Like a DNA sequence, I got acid, had me tripping I feel like I don't exist, when I perform it's crickets Just tryna live life like its someone watching over Whether its my loved ones, god or angels, stars spoke in tongues Unknown to me, felt like aphasia Known at the ragers for my rampage on the paper In the constellations like ursa I'd go major Burst into the scene with ink like Ursula staged it

Diamond Dust 03:28

Feel the morning breeze on a ten mile walk Before it leaves, I'm back home scoring cheese off of stocks Forty dollars like 2 Jacksons, scream like Mike and Janet Since I'm barely seeing crops and cream from seeds I laid in plots My text style like textiles, a slowly woven cloth Glowing mothman, my head lost, writing like I'm Thoth Not a speech impediment, my thoughts rest in the Duat Gothic records like dark chocolate, something rich to chew on The cryptic and untraceable, stay hidden like cicadas The unfaceable, irreplaceable desert raider Like a tuscan switched the musket out for a glock nine And crossbow on my back, like the lamb of god against swine Seconds of the essence, always tryna reach a deadline The hand of death is reaching, trips me out in races against time Magnetic and electric fields fill the space, my right hand rules In between the lines you find some currency enlightening fools Hook: Gems and jewels, ice crystals in the sky come pouring down Cash rules, make it rain my weight in silver on the ground Diamond Dust, I'm intangible like assets on the cloud Climbing up the currents like a salmon, I could never drown I got a stratagem, ask Reginald Morris Like a detective, more faces than Malcolm McCormick Rest in peace, his spirit lives on like avatar aura If he's Aang, i might be next, like the legend of Korra I want to go soaring through the stratosphere on a tour bus Performing for the solar system just as a warm up A testament to my abilities like the Torah Not Adonai but I deny you access to fortune Like your agents and record execs, send texts they ignore 'em Same situation with your girl, only friends on a forum This pen made me immortal, it's my personal horcrux I just murder every beat, while I wail like Orca Order of the phoenix, corporate schemes they so surreptitious We really making magic, they claim we all superstitious They grounded, no potential, every song repetitous Vicious warrior warlock, shout out to the witches

Verse 1: Curtsy courteously curtailed, suck it up like Kirby Curbside concrete jungle clearly rats all tend to scurry 3 shots ring like Curry, from a distance better hurry Home is close but not enough for comfort, still worried Injuries avoided, deployed some survival tactics Binger of the verdant blade, so strong it rivaled Atlas Burdened shoulders, clavicles were strained, like some spaghetti Now he's looking shredded like popper of confetti Paupers prop the door for those who live most elegantly Sentinel in entrance, sentries scoping out the Bentley Gently wave on scarlet carpets, velvet rope, the garden Stench of lavender, covers cadaver scents of wardens Melancholy, melons hollow core store seeds I spit out The A list one percenters hide their whole lives its like Get Out Peel back the layers, like Roy Ayers i am your mind Solar flares and craters hidden by effulgent sunshine Hook: God rays like the sunbeam, shining through translucent screens Like a strobe light, painful if you stare, what's in between Needed to reduce the intensity or magnitude The agony of crystal lattice apparatus, gather jewels Icy hot baggage, heart on fire mind is scorching I see hot garbage in my past, some find fortune Navigate a crevice like a fjord, its brumal, gelid Icy cold eyes, my heart is arctic until I'm jealous Verse 2: Spotless mind, the dotted line, I jot the rhymes upon Jotunn giant, grow the finest eighths like octagon That's arachnid, widow black, that poison for your lungs Loaded ultraviolet rays, the purple kush'll stun Plasmids couldn't replicate the feeling that I'm on Slowing motion until frozen, coat of permafrost Gust till rusted shut the gates of hell, three headed Satan Medication of a blizzard keeps the brain elated Same old liberation, hibernated, ran through vestiges Festive memories of tenderness to fight the elements Dressed in furs like Venus, the tinder's a distant memory Enthalpy enthralls us, once its gone we miss the mantelpiece Icicles start forming on the face like in the shining Johnny in the lobby, with an axe that he's been grinding Typewriter went crazy he's cold blooded like a viper Cowards don't smoke cracks of snow to break the ice we swipe up Hook: God rays like the sunbeam, shining through translucent screens Like a strobe light, painful if you stare, what's in between Needed to reduce the intensity or magnitude The agony of crystal lattice apparatus, gather jewels Icy hot baggage, heart on fire mind is scorching I see hot garbage in my past, some find fortune Navigate a crevice like a fjord, its brumal, gelid Icy cold eyes, my heart is arctic till I'm jealous

Verse 1: Crises as a Pisces, I flipped my whole alignment/ Think I found nirvana so the past i never mind it/ Clean like bleach with an Ichigo vizard/ Since I hit the blizzard I was meant to be a victor/ [4] Ever since utero knew w.o.m.b. had a meaning/ California dreaming' since my mom and pops were gleaming'/ Got the bud steaming' like a Brussel sprout dinner Under stress I never rest, cant let myself diminish Like a lowered 7th, I make sure I head to heaven When my twin never made it past a second trimester Had to represent for the whole Allen clan Malintent, I removed from my soul, kick my feet up never cans Had a lot of people tell me that I never could Now I got some friends that I've been tryna get to Cannes When the bucket fall over hope it's pouring holy water So before that happens, put my hands before a martyr Hook: Written in the stars, till the planets all align All is fine, used to spar, eyes were both redder than Mars Red Mercedes cars that I don't even wanna drive Aiming for the sky, need a rocket I can fly Verse 2: Bruce lee said be water, so I'm acting all aquarius Back when I was 13 I was acting all nefarious Back as young ballistics, thought I was a taurus Really more a hermit, never acted as a tourist Lived through restless nights, now I'm best in all the nights Besting all the knights, I'm a legend of the lights Round table, grounded like a cable kickstarting me A barchetta with armor, I go bullseye just like archery Crazy way to say I'm a superhero Saiyan/ Started out as villain I'm Vegeta to the game Went over to Arkham, I came out a star and stunted Still spinning the Lib and Doom, USA's most blunted Super stormtrooper but my clothes ain't star-studded If the empire strikes, still Fin to them munchkins Luke with the walk, got the sky beneath my sole Never lacking Soul, got the System in Control Open up my Pineal, so had to go Bohemian Rhapsody to Grove, got them heated like a stove Gentlemen of negligence, they fight with me I never bend Tryna execute me like I'm Freddie all mercurian A messenger, call me the second mister Fahrenheit Want Sickle in a cold cell like I go below Celsius Or anemics, but my team is beyond color, you cant see our eyes 3 eyes opened with the shades on you can't handle us

Verse 1: Stressing survival, best alive and testing my rivals Pressing vinyl, chess moves, I'm impressing my idols I'm a scribe, got a page, feel like I'm a knight When I scribble, making L's, that you take like a flight Llamamantis set to jet on radio, like Ulala Brouhaha caused by two odd prodigies, beats and new concoctions I'm in La La land, dreaming verses, Iceberg on the east Vision locked in, got the keys, all you thieves just frauds to me Hook: Next thing that I know all the frauds just flex, got bravado Really doppelgangers, watch 'em hang around at the Grotto Mini-mes and failed clones, stale flows, biters End up in a web of lies, with your favorite ghostwriter Verse 2: Lot of rappers got triple beams, like Samus' spazer But they don't know balance of mind, grams just get weighed up Morphing ball to vorpal blade, a Vordul Mega sorta sage Born to wager, Setzer, bets are off, for the gourmet plate All the flows I got not bitten, but in crunch time Munching on these rappers for dinner, then for lunch time Get a free meal from work, what's the punchline? Did all that while you're just beginners, soon alumni Hook: Next thing that I know all the frauds just flex, got bravado Really doppelgangers, watch 'em hang around at the Grotto Mini-mes and failed clones, stale flows, biters End up in a web of lies, with your favorite ghostwriter Verse 3 (Bloodmoney Perez): It’s November First forever These phonies walking round feeling clever Like we can’t see the tags or can’t gauge the weather. Your reign on the top What’s the saying? Nothing that big is worth playing or explaining It’s art over commerce but you gonna start paying to hear what I’m saying Your gallery ain’t hanging in the spaces that I’m hanging You ain’t felt the pain so these angles ain’t changing You can make all the noise you desire but that’s the closest you been to the sound of gun fire What a liar, a fraud, or a fake Whatever 50 called you out the gate The method ain’t changed just the actors flooded space Now the sound seems froze in a real suspect place Not everybody ran weight or busted guns to escape Let’s get this shit straight. To many spitting lines based on Scorsese crimes and it’s fine If you like motherfuckers who’s only crime is stealing your time.

Kubrick vision, space Odysseus Yall bloopers, extra, the screen is silver tint We go militant, discreet in the bitch Durban poison, ivy, thermal, lit the spliff Beat 'em to a pulp that's fictionless Vigor for the art, that's rigorous Work put in just to get my shot Can't leave this scene victimless Massacre it, like I'm acting Curtis The stars are power, I'm blasted learning While taciturn, and the acid burns In my heart, but no gastric churns Astral aim, they'll know our names Masterminds in the games we play Weighty bars, least a ton a day, I push like bench press, stun the fakes Iceberg and mantis, like sonic & knuckles Army of two, free your heart from the struggles Gears of war when they saw my chain, Leatherface, alone, I got the range Like a rover, the game is over, new game plus, I rejuvenate Constellations in the empty void, Spanning the sky, used to lead the way Like Navi, godly deity, I'm fierce, this mask is here to stay Stranded on mars, like the manhunter planet Searching for answers, the stars like a scanner Fleas flee, biting big dogs, check the canines Bloody raw along the fangs I'm raging before gametime, eighth I'm smoking, more buds on the way My marijiuana like Farrah Fawcett's man in burning bed And the whole crib engulfed in the smog of bud turning red It ain't fair to posit my deposits as Walter White Breaking bad like rocks of Moses, moon rocks, cant stand the light With fluoxetine, don't vandalize but blow out the windows Like a robber's chopper, these high notes, get loud like crescendo So if your pad is empty grab a pen and press on the button Then snatch the papers up and get inspired all sudden Born with thorns all around my crown chakra Sahasrara like the martyr, searching for ambrosia Like mako that cloud was overdosing on My whole narrative got twisted like some metal, think my mind is gone Needles Kane, no Zack Fair, he king of shit like Oberon With a mental illness list that's longer than a Toblerone Unwilling young villain, made through vivisection Mind of mantis, human form, Dr. Moreau still interjecting
