Verse #1
Slow stance stop short on the deal
Bad instinct should have listen to the feels
Deep in my gut wasn’t legit
But I had to make move never stop quit
Focused independent shinning
pre internet hustler mag hiding
Greasy grimy Tedious timing
40 years shaping honing Grinding
Started to shine duster got stached
Had to relax draw back from the task
Rick Moranis ain’t found shit
Combing the dessert Drudic chicks
They went to plad sir
No longer plastered
Vibrational patterns
Lyrics matters
Disastor after disastor
Getting my directions from the Hexagon in Saturn
Live news sucicide views
Goose for the gander fueling fools
Life lessons
Right expression
Embrace the passion
Failure as a blessing
Music medicine fuel adrenaline
Feeling in my viens never give in
Scatter thoughts whisping in the wind
Grasp words captured with a pen
Hook #1

We are all asleep and it's time to wake up

Verse #2
Hit the scene with a full head of steam
Reckless straight pursuing a dream
fused fractions perplexed patterns
Fueling purpose passion into action
Never listened attitude fuck it
Did it my own way perhaps destructive
Mixing words was a puzzle
Fighting these has been my stuggle
Never trust government
Just entertainment
Like the muppets
Fraggle rock
Or being John Malkovich
Alcoholic rages
Adrenaline caged in
Bad habits time wasted
Additive pace but I escaped it
Sex, drugs or sleep deprivation
But I bouch back work smarter
Longevity Vince Carter
Some times too much time wasted
Sit back and look at my hands of amazement
That one could be so destructive
Use the other to help a
Next man be productive

The Papers
Focused
Verse #1
Aspartame disaster brain
JC take the wheel I got this mayn
Frozen funds flashed out the treasury
Billions disappear never to be scene
It’s best you don’t know their business
Whipping out witness Clintons approving triggers
Run drugs Atlanta
Endorse prison systems
Promote crime to the youth in Rap music
Ferocious felines fighting for the top breed
Bread and circus validate the needs
Slaughter in 3D and VR screens
Fake news now your questioning what you believe
Face swap edit political speeches
Eloquent thinkers have past deleted
Dig up dirt focus on a weakness
Criminal money washed into legit business
Hook #1
The Papers The Papers rolls it up Vapors
Smoke it in the sky past so you later
The Papers The Papers rolls it up Vapors
Smoke it in the sky past so you later
Alligator
In a file Crocodile
Verse #2
Plastered postered naked exposers
Sexpose with Obama and Oprah
Haven’t been laid in the last decade
Give me a sexbot that cooks and cleans
Panama Papers list Politians
Kill the reporter leaving no witness
Suicide note hanging rope choke
Coked out leaders about to be exposed
Cat out the bag been hiding out for days
Julian Assange sold out to the feds
Assinnate the mind procrastinate in terror
Impress everyone squeaky clean no errors
Clean up your past sweep it under the rug
Cover up documents funding terrorist and guns
Looked up facts and now your an expert
Verbal virus global pressure
Twitter attack asking for answers
Just follow the cash and find disaster
Fumbling politics as the ultimate distraction
Conjour up the public into taking war action
Willaim Randoplh hearst made up stories
Practiced rehearsed to sell newspapers
J Endgar Hoover like to dress up like an ugly Whore and keep sexual tabs for favours
Hook #2
The Paper The Paper rolls it up Vapors
Smoke it in the sky past so you later

Verse#3
Penatrate the system
Perceive but don’t listen
Wishes for the truth
Achieving new victims
Vision believe tweaking
Twin peaks
pin point your speeches
Edit copy delete them
Emotions invested in headlines deceiving
Hard drive lost
Destroying past written
Books burning and deleting opinions
Burn museums artifacts within them
Alexandria, Bagdad and blow up all
historical artifacts
Blow up Oklahoma city
building 7
ashes into yesterdays questions
Rewrite his story in digital form
Making changings to make the public conform
End of free thought
Handing over control
Like a shaq missed free throw
Hook #3
The Paper The Paper rolls it up Vapors
Smoke it in the sky past so you later

Smoke it in the sky past so you later

Verse #1
0:40
Run hide buried Alive
Government kills when exposing the lies
Suppose I pose with a tool to my head
Suicide note just another one dead
Fully equipped with a brain full of Knowlegde
Murder Mystery that know one is solving
Go to the police and they using extortion
Hold it against you like you had an abortion
Keep em stupid keep em dumb
Taking pictures with the murder weapon
Lil gangsters starving for attention
Spend all your money no room for investment
Flame out or take it as a lesson
Still alive you bet it’s a blessing
Caressing death flirting with arrest
Locked up for a life sentence
6 feet deep now back from the dead
Poisoned the water viens full of lead
Verbal attack sensory overload
Emotions run deep about to explode
Proposing deals to make your ass famous
Cop a feel just so you can make it
Then I blow up leave the beef a side
Striving for peace the past comes alive
Pastors preachers end of the world
Rapture capture little boys and girls
Reload my pistol another priest dead
Clear my dead now I’m fiscally spent
Fist full of sess minimal stress
Fuck all your fame I’ve come to collect
Focused virbal virus through your vents
Vent all my rage like a PTS vet.

Focused
verse #1
Ambitions so strong
Atomic bomb naypalm vietman
No stick Telfon telethon
Getting cash at the Cure Cancer and Herpes fund
with a Roy Riffe Ray Gun
Just having fun
Squirt on the shirt
Give a little juggle make it work
Memories cause it’s all what your heard
Focused Feel great about the past present future
self driver ubers running overe elders and students
Bold with all flavours and stronger than ever
Controlling the rages frustration in faces
As we talk on these wires observing behaviours
See you later towers smoke into vapers
Piece of the pie a Paradise sky
Lucy loving lollies in the single swipe
cashless app and a never ending vice
self serving hype
Class of her own
and she going to set the price
Verse #2
1:44
Pulverize nobel prize
Unique eyes with a drive
Full flight masked
In disguise disgusting
Disfigured disjointed
And out of line
Left field blue steel
Weird stares long looks
Lears to a career
Steer clear of any danger
Of what’s poisoned yours
ears and behaviours
Praised poised of being so stupid
adhere obey completeld wasted like as cupid
Conceal all your feelings
A drive a jolt to the ceiling
An uncontrollable feeling
No longer can conceal it
The world needs to hear this
Rick Micvicar your beleiving
No talent wasted keg stand is a weakness
Reeking the Havock and Remarkable stories
Pain and glory
Meditated absorbing
knowledge is boirng
sitting in the mountains with abolinal snowmen
Verse #3
I remember the day I felt alive
So long ago I have strived to get back to that high
Not realizing that I am a part of this drive
Dry those eyes cloudy skies pulverize
Heals those wounds aches and breaking hearts
Fuck the gasoline start if off in a spark
So you leave me unattended?
Just a little vagrant
Getting into trouble
making uneducated guesses
but I get over it
emotions wind deep
off of my shoulders
the weight has dropped
every week
elevate the weight right off my chest
put drama to rest
invest in the prize
of living life best
Come close to carressing death
Realizing it's just a ride and let go of the stress
Investment in health and put the drama to rest
Spitting like a lama right onto your chest
Invisions ingraved a mirage see
simulation from a far
all an illusion contusion confussion
locked into the brain
locked words are misusing
spell bound confusion
the matrix of movements

Locked into a path past tracing
Patiently waiting for moments of advancement
Drift flow past patients

Elongate a prolonged past state

Point a finger to up above and escape

Expand empower and be great
Demand devour and give praise
To your friends family and all human beings

Grab those feelings and take it to the lab
Hone your skills

Dodged a bullet lucky to be alive

Family and friends conjuring hope
7 years old Ear Ruptured

Pressurizing liquid on the skull
Two weeks wearing medical gowns
Iv needles keeping me from running around
Temperature rising waking up far from home
Tubes in my ear to prevent the disease spreading
After that I had trouble listening hearing
Headaces blockage attention lost
Fell into trouble as I driftd off

Shock waves from the space shuttle

Living life cut off from progression of struggle
