Never Give Up (Prod. by Prxttx) 02:23
lyrics

Waddup peeps? This is the thing I cannot act and I cannot sing I write a rap just to relax Sprinkle some hash like aromat Switch up the taste or switch up the pace I was put in a race and felt outta place Twenty years later, now I can see I'm far from what they wanted me to be Have a degree who gives a shit A corporate fool with cum on his lips From sucking some dick to get to the top Licked in between the ass and the crotch That's not how I roll and I'm not a phobe I've done some things that nobody else knows Now don't go too wild, let's keep it here Pass me the joint and give me a beer Life is too much to want to get stuck Discover yourself and do what you must (x4) Now let's bring it back, before you get lost I am just saying I cannot have a boss There's something inside, that I cannot hide That just makes me feel like it's worth being alive Because who am I in the millions of stars We live on this planet but it is not ours It doesn't make sense, but it's still worth dollars Become a scholar and put up your collar It's for the leash but we not the beast I've seen it before in the West and the East These fuckers are smart, you won't even know Unless you defied and decided to grow You will feel alone, but it isn't true It's the feeling of moving closer to your truth There are many of us, in whom you can trust We know that walking this path is a must Life is too much to want to get stuck Discover yourself and do what you must (x4)

Devil Unseen (Prod. by Stilla D) 02:43
lyrics

I can smell it in the air I breathe I can see it in our daily routines Lost dreams, inside our television screens My props goes out to the devil unseen (x2) Fucking magicians, no I won't listen I've reached far beyond these bars of your prison Your cell of hell, from your voice I can tell You've lost your mind and your sense of self With these rhymes I spit, you can catch my drift You can feel it on Levels and you can feel it in The Shift No I won't stop, because time is running out Skeletons in my closet and now they coming out I'm waking up the dead coz they turning in their graves Burning fire in my cave coz we turning into slaves This unbreakable hold, in the pursuit of gold I've unraveled the scroll to watch the story unfold In the next chapter, you gonna feel our rapture Breaking this chain with which our soul's been captured Beats still banging, bodies start hanging This verse gives you an idea of what we planning I can smell it in the air I breathe I can see it in our daily routines Lost dreams, inside our television screens My props goes out to the devil unseen (x2) Who's the leader? I think he needs a breather I'm throwing stones because my pitch reached a fever At your glass house, this isn't a fight Your darkness cannot exist in the light Despite what you think or whatever you believe We are ready to attack like we Ninjas in a tree Taking the place of all you monkeys in power The sun is going down and this is your last hour Say your last words and make sure that it counts I just went back home and closed all my accounts I couldn't think of what to say other than that I take pieces of my soul and put it in rap I trade time for rhymes you trade yours for dimes I trade lows for highs, you trade yours for lives The promises you make are only paper thin When the war to win is against the devil within I can smell it in the air I breathe I can see it in our daily routines Lost dreams, inside our television screens My props goes out to the devil unseen (x2)

Won't Stop (Prod. by Mubz Got Beats) 03:38
lyrics

What I'm sipping or whatever caused the tripping I won't stop spitting til my clock stops ticking (x4) You see tonight, it feels more than right Love, hate and light when I step up to the mic You know what it is, I see through time I write these rhymes with a Nebula Skate of Mind You have to see it to believe it But I told my son, "If you can think it you can be it" Coz this world is a result of our thoughts And if you look up, its like a cult of some sort We'd rather watch than do, binge on a series or two Avoiding the news feeling like there's nothing we can do But you are wrong, I repeat it in my songs Paving my way like my future's written on my palm I stay calm so I can weather the storm Dedicate my life to living beyond the norm I've been asleep for too long and now its begun I'm in the Matrix and I think that I am the one What I'm sipping or whatever caused the tripping I won't stop spitting til my clock stops ticking (x4) I started rhyming at the age of ten Break down my thoughts put it together again Now I look at the game, all I see is clones When my mother told me write until I feel it my bones So I don't understand, this shit is off balance And I don't do battle rap because I haven't met my challenge But Homie, who gave you the lines for that? When I listen, Ain't nobody got time for that So tell me what's your mission, coz something must be missing Maybe that's why you sound like a cat giving birth in the kitchen Those are some bars, these are some scars I watch your videos and those aren't your cars You see I do this for humanity to wake up And those women look beautiful but they put on too much make up We want the real, tell us the deal No shots fired coz if I shoot, I shoot to kill What I'm sipping or whatever caused the tripping I won't stop spitting til my clock stops ticking (x4)

Get Lit (Prod. by Stilla D) 03:09
lyrics

Get lit, like when the sun comes up Don't stop living 'til the sun burns up (x4) In case you didn't know, the sun's the source of life I draw the mic like a sword or knife Yes, I make threats, the situation is critical I get lyrical when they step into my visual We need a miracle or we need Jesus Whichever comes first, I doubt that I will see it The clocks ticking so I won't stop spitting You don't listen because your mind's in a prison I break bars like I break boards You broke our dreams, so we're gonna break yours Wanna build a wall but we see right through it Push me to the edge, and I just might do it Cliffhanger, call me a spliff banger Time spanner in a swift manner We've gone off course and we've lost our way It's dark so I pray for light of day Get lit, like when the sun comes up Don't stop living 'til the sun burns up (x4) At night is the time when the beast comes out And I like it coz that's when the truth comes out Night crawlers, midnight ballers Claim to be awake, but we're all sleep walkers Sleep talkers, living nightmares Hiding from Rah, coz when the truth stares It's undeniable, it's all we should worship In my rap verses, I put it so perfect Life is a riddle with the sun in the middle It's why I have a tattoo that looks like a nipple The circumpunct, man this shit's real The circumpunct, it's a big deal My explanation isn't just scientific More prolific, fitted, every time I rip it It's why I keep pushing and give hope to you So when you see your kids, you tell 'em God spoke to you Get lit, like when the sun comes up Don't stop living 'til the sun burns up (x4)

Likes (Prod. by Penacho) 03:16

It's all about the likes, all about the follows (x2) Here's what I did today, wait for tomorrow It's all about the likes, all about the follows Buy a smartphone, even if you won't Like what I say, even if you don't Here's what I did today, wait for tomorrow Everything I share is for a like, view and follow I don't know why but it seems that's all that matters Swipe to the right and match with all these backpackers You don't know me, that's why I don't say much Unless you give me the mic, then you will get touched Late at night, when I think and write, think about this life In the light, I cannot deny that something isn't right To much time on the screen, dreaming about the dream Chasing the cream, when things aren't always as they seem Money talks, so I'm trynna get paid for what I say But I have to budget how much I wanna spend in a day No new likes? I guess I'm out of luck Sitting online and in this traffic jam I'm stuck It's all about the likes, all about the follows (x2) Here's what I did today, wait for tomorrow It's all about the likes, all about the follows Wake up and face this, update my status Looking for direction and check-in in different places Maybe add a feeling, maybe add some colour Then get a reaction, only from my mother I have more views than I have likes The thing is with a screen, you can only picture the hype Imagine, you can be anyone that you wanna Get a bigger reach for a few more zero's and comma's Problem solved, humans evolve The solution to your pain, read it in my blog Then I have an offer, that you cannot resist First give me your email and I'll put you on my list I'll make it even better if you can follow suit Just do what I say and forget about the truth Use the same method, just a different name Use the same players, just a different game It's all about the likes, all about the follows (x2) Here's what I did today, wait for tomorrow It's all about the likes, all about the follows

Karma (Prod. by Penacho) 02:59
lyrics

Ayo,I said it, did it, think it, live it I set no limits but you were not with it The picture vivid, you couldn't see it Even though you knew it, you couldn't be it Steps taken, across the moon Feel my energy from across the room When my eyes lock, no words to speak All I really see is your soul beneath I wish I could explain my dreams and thoughts But I'd rather just do it coz my life is short I know it makes sense and I hope it makes dollars Do it for the likes, do it for the follows Shit's changed and there's no going back You wish you could, that's why you keep throwing back Knowing that, This is my rule of thumb The Art of War, so Im prepared when it comes Back to me, it comes back to me I cannot see to the back of me I had to be what I had to be Naturally, it comes back to me (x2) Verse two because of verse one A dad for 7 years because I had fun Live with these scars because I've been hurt Paint a bigger picture because I've seen worse Wherever I go, I got my homies with me The City of Gold way down to the Mother City The dream is the same, simple and plain Reflect on the past and acknowledge the pain The places I've been, faces I've seen There is no sleep and so there is no dream They did it to us, so do it I must Always remember, I'm a speck of dust With nothing to lose, I have nothing to prove Shut up unless you have walked in my shoes I will not stop, until it is done Attack with my mind so I'll know when it comes Back to me, it comes back to me I cannot see to the back of me I had to be what I had to be Naturally, it comes back to me (x2)

Everyday (Prod. by Penacho) 03:48
lyrics

Everyday I think about when my time comes Will I be recognised for all the things that I've done? Will I find my place or be forever on the run? Will they know I did it all, just for my son? (x2) More than rap, this is Rhythm Assisted Poetry More than that, this is my life without you knowing me Blowing trees of different kinds from overseas Then I woke up in the morning to the birds and the bees My reference, not an insult to your intelligence My relevance is a refelection of your own ignorance Limitless, when it comes to sharing what my vision is I speak the truth so that you know where my position is Look at this, it was all a dream I'm really not phased by being in your magazine Or the fact you put me in the top 18 I dala what I must, if you know what I mean This is my life, I live it how I choose it When you claim your power, there's really nothing to it I've developed my third eye to see who's the truest So you remain clueless to exactly how I do this, it's just Everyday I think about when my time comes Will I be recognised for all the things that I've done? Will I find my place or be forever on the run? Will they know I did it all, just for my son? (x2) I'm Interstellar, you can check it on your cellular It's Rebel Monk now, forever Nebula Irregular, when I step up to the scene Never free, if you act like cash is king My passion brings, nice sounds and things To the galaxy from the underground it rings The echoe will be heard until the dust settles My mission is clear but you act like I got something special Let go, of the bullshit that you thinking You wasting your time that's why you feel your soul sinking I was lost at sea, the gun and the clip Saw life for what it is then it put me on a trip We'll do this on our own if they won't let us Power by the numbers so they won't get us They won't forget us, this is history in the making They hating, coz I stay persistently creating, it's just Everyday I think about when my time comes Will I be recognised for all the things that I've done? Will I find my place or be forever on the run? Will they know I did it all, just for my son? (x2)

Coast to Coast (Prod. by Scalper) 04:05
lyrics

Travel the world, from coast to coast And I'm still on a quest to find who smokes the most (x2) I take it back over a million years in fact When my gold weighed no more than a million bars in rap Writings on the wall, writings on the ceiling I've forever been at war inside fighting with my feelings My days started to tell stories of superstition I developed my third eye and followed my intuition I chose to go without when I wanted to go within This is how the war between good and evil begins I was trapped in the dark seeking to find the light I had to know more, something clearly wasn't right The urge for exploration, world domination Economic justification for human exploitation These are pieces to the puzzle, now you're in trouble My plans keep growing coz you can't knock the hustle My DNA carries the definition of a poet Every rhyme crafted with truth so let it sink for a moment Travel the world, from coast to coast And I'm still on a quest to find who smokes the most (x2) You see what seperates us from an animal Whether you are a vegan or whether you are a cannibal Is our ability to completely believe in fiction Even if we haven't seen it and it's filled with contradiction It's the only way, we can achieve a common goal Ideals still remain even though people come and go Some things don't get questioned, questions don't get answered Secrets get lost and travel to the hereafter All we do is adapt and leave it to evolution Claim to know the whole story but we don't have a conclusion The end of the beginning, the start of a new chapter Society has grown and broken up in fractures Read between the lines or else our story distorts The future is ours and it's not what you thought The lies we tell ourselves is the gap between me and you And if it isn't based on fact then your story isnt true, so I Travel the world, from coast to coast And I'm still on a quest to find who smokes the most (x2)
