It's back to basics clutching and touching bases, And coming at such a rate it's obvious something great is Approaching the horizon so why does it look so far away and The day that we try to chase will the journey be worth the taking? You'll never know till you crack and then stahrt packing Having to make it happen and actually taking action It's not the type of thing that you want to leave in its wrapping So you'd be decreasing value by keeping it in the package I'll turn a blunt into thirty-two bars past Ask anyone I know this wordy dude talks fast I only tend to roll with the worthy who walk paths that Not a lot of chose I surely do cross that I'll greet you with a "Hello." when stepping into my level Until then, yo, we can settle on different instrumentals Swinging a different pencil with different types of credentials eventually quintessential potential's the only central, see? You'll see me say on some "Pardon my French, but" You know hip-hop is my raison d'etra I'm passed tempted to make an attempt to Put all I got in this wager or bet 'cause I had that feeling whenever we met, yup You know hip-hop is my raison d'etra You know hip-hop is my raison d'etra The reason that I get up, breath, and just wanna be I'm turning up the beat and releasing the dopamine Write, record, repeat with the people that's close to me And make a living off your dream is the way it's supposed to be And maybe I'm just getting a bit ahead of myself But turning to alternatives just to better myself; Playing safe it ain't the way that I would bet on myself I might as well put the quill on the head of my shelf But this ink keeps dropping and walking across the parchment I'm darkening all the parts of it that I wanted to mark A medium of art that I started to take apart Now we darting along the arc of a charge that we gave a spark [to] And now that slight burning is something you might turn in- To spending your nights learning not yearning for bright currency Sending a live current see something inside stirring And currently I'm earning my turn in this life we're in And I'll admit it it may get a little hectic A little complex when you're testing the business ethics I want my physicals with professional pressing But first I got to drop my debut album that's what this is And I feel that this is the reason for my existence I'm hoping I can open up your mind and go the distance You can get this depending on your persistence I told you then before on pen and sword and sure I meant it See I just pick up the pieces from where I left off I press Pause move like a blue hedgehog It's been odd and arbitrary with no set bar But I digress I guess I'll just try to get far In life with it I get on the mic spit it In somewhere I might visit or stage with the lights dimming I try and I might finish but I should just write, innit? I love to combine sentences rhyming and I'm ending at

Running straight through a new attempt to break through The other side what a nice, stunning debut We see you stayed tuned in the streets played smooth Uprooted then we suited to move into phase two 'Cause life's just a ladder that we throw dice at 'cause I don't think sight matters on a jader flight pattern Despite it might land us on the vacant, wide land of The stage that we're to play displaying eighty bright lanterns So on our merry way to the summit like, "Dare we say?" With lines that are off the wall on their way out of every maze A bag of berry haze in the lab, which is where we blaze To run it to the top and get it popping like Perrier Now watch up bury your shit beneath these aerial tricks So we can get the script and flip this shit like varial kick[flip]s I plan to wage a war to hear that clarion hit Because "Fuck a wack rapper."'s become very old shit I'd rather stay reclusive and do shit within the tool shed Nothing self abusive I'm used to just making music But now I'm introducing my newest in hopes to use it To find a way to profit up off it and that's some true shit 'Cause fuck a nine-to-five I'd rather bust a rhyme for life And jump and dive atop a pile of customized delights Who run inside as soon as I come touch the Mike and hype 'Cause it's about time that we shut this shit down tonight, right? Kaeo: Yes indeed Pagemasters killing with ease Sit back inhaling the trees I'm peeking at some of these beats like Okay this ones sounding real clean I spit a flow ill and mean and dipping out from the scene so if Someone could please direct to the exit As soon as I made an entrance was killing that ain't no question My team just be that impressive we steady be handing lessons Every time it come down to spitting and smoking sessions So uh roll up and go n pass me the dutch I'm fixing to spit a bunch instrumentals for lunch Never meddle with scrubs we keep pedaling stuff To something that straight knocks get on the same level as us I think it's really 'bout that time to get up and go make some music And fuck what they be saying 'cause they dont do this like we do this Still a Wasted Rebel that's nothing to get confused with Find me in a whip cruising with booze mixed with all that good shit Looking at a wall that's filled up with many clocks They all read the same time saying fuck it walk the walk I was very pleased didn't come off as a shock after All never talk I just get it like a boss Trying to make some happen I ain't kneeling to a cross People saying that I'm damaged I remain standing tall They was hoping that I stumbled all while up against these odds Paved they way with body knuckles 'bout that time for taking off Chris Café: 'Bout that time to get it popping like we're cooking some kettle corn We keep it brewing hot like the pot in early morn' Cloud accumulation in the distances see it form Everything 'til now has been the calm before the storm A force to be reckoned approaches with no warn' The microphone beckons I reckon it'll get torn The moment tables turns been waiting since I was born Spent too many years doing the wiggle squirm ( worm) Right about that time to emerge from the slime And rise from the grime that been hiding brighter sides Puttin dull on my shine and stress on my mind I'm done with this life moving on to better vibes Word of the wise stay high on delta 9 We switching up the style the coming of new tides Wanna take it worldwide but anything will suffice Addicted to the rhythm and lyrics that be so nice 'Bout time to get it grooving the music very soothing And now the rhythm looping got me in the mood for schooling You say you also do this, I’m looking like who you fooling 'Cause lyrically your clueless I'ma need some restitution The dreams I have are lucid and proven to be so lucrative I use to feel so stupid now I'm ruthless when I do this shit "What cha think ya doing, Chris?" I’m just trying to build my biz Spitting with the Atom now I’m splitting like the nucleus

Timeless 02:29
All My life I have always wanted beyond this Leave my Tera and bury it in eons and The more I spit the older I see my rhymes get But that's a concept really I am timeless All my life I've always wanted beyond this Leave my terror and everything that belongs in Surviving eras and evolve with a mindset That won't stop till our lifespan is timeless Reach for the stars as we peek over Mars To find gold mines that'll leak golden bars Deplete poris ores with complete[ly] no regard But stare to bear the scar of the unique foreign art Sand begin to mount around and counted our past With a name on every grain in the pane of this hour glass I saw the shower pass all in awe the power last[ed] The sand storm ran forth with a dour wrath That had us all imprisoned with the thought of what it is and As we learn to understand it we manage to have an interest in it Like Stockholm Syndrome with a clock though Staring at the timepiece pendulums rock slow Lost in the metronome attention ever set in stone Undivided, allotted to this and it alone What it provided was knowledge for me to settle on But time is relative it never could've been that long The way I see it time don't physically exist It's a unit of measurement for a series of events Reminiscent of an inch every instance that it is And persists with no resistance 'cause there's nothing to prevent It's just a construct that we keep in our minds tucked Sixty lines struck still cannot rewind the Designer can wind up adjust the insides but Can never quite anticipate the moment his time's up It's like the cycle of life A new replacement to replace him when the placement has died 'Cause life can waste across the pavement in the wake of an eye All while the place that you were wasted at will make it and thrive like Time keeps going no ebb if it's ever flowing With webs that our ever growing of tangents we'll never know of Where some evolving slower while others before we saw them Were older we didn't notice it happens over and over so

Syqnys: Just imagine where we'd be I am human beware of me But I am not inherently evil but it's there in me My story's good but it's written as a parody I come through devastate your land pollute your air and sea Make myself wealthy then come back and give you charity Laugh the hilarity Is maddening can barely breath is that from the scarcity Of trees I can barely see the forest through this barren thing Staring at the destitute while they glare at me Thinking life has been glaringly unfair to me I hope those people in that golden church say a prayer for me They don't care for me apparently Or care for the environment you wanna hear the scary thing? The people who are tearing the Environment to shreds are the ones who will repair the thing With an equation of everything I kind of wonder just where we'd be If learning first was the way we'd lead I kind of wonder just where we'd be If education and our health were free I kind of wonder just where we'd be I kind of wonder just where we'd be I kind of wonder just where we'd be I see the land that we planted on 'fore we landed and Handed it abandonment, damage, and mismanagement We had a planet then ran it for the advantages And left the surface a perfect version of banishment The sky bleeds in bouts of acidic rain On mountains and in the planes doused and they're getting stained At lightspeed a cloud of this liquid came About and it dripped with haze at not a consistent rate Now just wait this used to be the house Of an amount of species you couldn't even count About a thousand CCs of creatures in a vile And a round a pound of genes decoded in a while We left the humans buried beneath the ruined Decay of an old view, and a fate of their own doing From poor choosing, the druids, and their illusion With their chauvinistic movements and their grandiose delusions

Imaginarium 04:42
I'd scribble characters ink to leaf like, "There it was." Various barriers seem to wanna bury us The areas, I left atop a chariot Littered with the crumbs from every touch of fairy dust I barely just awoke and have to make it Soaked and frozen in an ocean of my own imagination It amazed me... meticulous with placement The happenstance that rapping colors vapid illustrations The day was mellow like a settled set of particles In an arctic hold that's hard and cold; bitter; in part, it froze A part-in role quid pro- a literal heart of gold We wore'em for decorum with a better set of articles Some cool links to roll up and pulls sleeves And start to mark the paper til pages drool ink The fuel's leaked we ran out of joules; peaked But there's nothing you'll keep when you meet with the jewel thief yea It's happening again The flashing lights will pacify when fastening again We meddling with metals when damascening again It passed through the glass roof to fascinate again (I feel it happening again) (And it's happening again) I can't relinquish the idea Nor can I start organizing pieces of it either I'm more the kind that's more inclined to reach into the sea of His porous mind to pour his lines and keep what he would bring up To mix in dishes some viscous and tinted liquids And measure how it assists the meniscus a couple inches I get the sense it's the way that the instruments and The sentences that are written [are] presented to this effect and So wages the War of Words in pages For ages it stays ablazed in the blatant flames it was made in It lays brazen embracing the blaze it bathes in A layer of glaze encases the nature of what was playing The battle's done but the was is never over I told you it grows older but never gets any colder A sea of light glowing with bold soldiers That stand around the battleground over the gold smolder damn It was just another figment The kind that make the mind escape and race a great distance Inside the bowl a widow with a lack of pigment Pinching inches of the limbs until it's minced and start cinching And it's probably worth the mention This aint your average, everyday, ordinary dimension Now what was taken has taken your full attention You think, "What's in the drink?" around the sink your fingers clenching Attempt to anchor yourself to space you occupy You sought the guise and opted why? To pop inside the occuli Of walkerbys that talk their mind in awkward chime And oftentimes hypothesis about the vox populi But what's it worth when entropy gets a hold Statistics start to shift in a random mode of control The living have that gift but then everything has to go It's a business, in a sense, since the system is all ago and It's happening again

Rion Atom: Lids off adrift in a ship lost Like, "Houston, Texas, we had lift off. But on our way to space the coordinates sorta changed. We boarded abnormal planes, distorting my wrist watch." Come blunted the way that the sum run it It got us more lit than the sun when we come from it My crew aint average, dude, on the avenues gun-running We keep it a million while you keeping it one hundred Mic check one and two, three, to the four Look how nice it's done and you would've never known Not a high tech sonnet but something for when you're blown Til we slide tectonic plates under the floor As we cruise through the Avenue passing you like, "What's happening, dude!?" They ask me why I rap and I laughed like, "I have the aptitude. It's not just passion too, half of you I hold candles to. But really, I'm just that into music that I'm an addict to." So fanatical [he] probably bleeds ink On the leaves in the streets when hearing these sweet beats They wanted golden chains with bling in each link But the only way I floss is [with] strings between teeth Stay cruising and let'em know who the crew is Everybody from OGs to the new recruitment Better recognize 'fore asking me who GU is Grand unified and we flowing like superfluids C-Gats: Fascinated by the queries that we can’t explain crafting theories from the outer rings in outer space We are like a constellation brighter than Orion’s star, Bellatrix So relaxed because we’re higher that Apus the main attraction And i'm here with Rion Atom writing classics it’s a win-win Whenever we collaborate on tracks it’s like we’re twin kin So chill between the kicks and the claps, but never thin skinned I always got his back 'cause that’s my dog like Rin Tin Tin And wordplay is the order of the day Here to slaughter all the fakes then record all the decay, listen We’re not your average rappers deeper than emcees terminally ill you think you're sick but just a quick sneeze Achoo, that’s who these bars they are aligned towards If the shoe fits and you’re offended it ain't my fault Betta get your bearings we don't wanna hear it Cus our connection’s non existent like the holy spirit Our only fear is writing rhymes without a resolution We’re the solution bring intellectual revolution Better than shooting or raising a hand, making a stand One person at a time that’s how you break up a clan Keep everybody united now ain't that theory just grand? Cus i am merely a man imperfect but I can plan forward Learn a lesson from my failures like a damn soldier Then put em in a couple lines that o can hand over Iyosi Pydas: We stay lit like acid day trips While you stray away from the aliens we ask to play with Beyond Structure, we’re passed the BASICs Unlike any other work that you’ve grasped via wavelength Get arms torn for the artform Late night cram session with the jams leaving our dorm Deep as a score when we go record Leaving the beat in the morgue like our fans are seeking horrorcore Got the vision and it’s open source So we can kick it like a broken door get on the road and course All of our problems spit on and dwarfed Cheering loudly with our vocal chords until our throats are hoarse We're the ones out achieving the bold So you can let these people know you aren't easily sold Thrills are fun 'til you’re queasy and fold Got the recipe for growth while you cheif and remold Greydon Square: Cruisin the music fluid, lucid Lunatics lose with new recruits on a lunar ship boosted This GU, a movement of truth sent to undue end A proven rumination of schooling meant to un-ruin Bars packaged to hard hack it As large factions, don’t want us to admit when the art’s lacking And that’s cool, all this is just a massive ruse to dislodge us from the quantum and return us to classical They know their vessels can’t take it Death of a spaceship, mixed with spaghettification. Beyond light speed, and you want a fight? Please. You being able to keep up with us is a pipe dream Try to fathom me and Rion Atom, C-Gats, and Iyosi Pydas on a battle-cruiser flying at them Cybernetics with a human side If you survive, expect retaliation from the Unified

Quid Pro Quo 03:05
I'll give you something in exchange for what you have Change and all your cash or anything that's argued as I'll bid you one thing in a trade for all you have Appraising all your assets and weighing out your stash I think it's too much I'll trade it in a bargain if the price is right I think it's too much offensive then impressive as I roll the wheel I think it's too much items of a find design's the kind you'll find I think it's too much I'll haggle and I'll barter 'til I close the deal Right through past two staves that mark the start of new paths And tucked beneath the strange little flames wearing blue masks I do ask for the specifics of your visit Can I interest you in a vintage suit? +10 Barter better worn on business What about a shirt? Like a short sleeve tee with a GU logo on it pouring ink Sure, we see that of course, [you] need these printing out the plysical of more CDs Cool jewel case with a cellophane on and [for] ten more, buddy, and I'll put my name on it Plus, their choice- haiku or a sonnet customized and the way they want it And what about you, dude? What can I get? A couple new tunes in the form of cassette Wanna get a crew moved? Then vinyl is the best I don't really choose who but I put them in a deck No matter your find you can always buy maybe not with money but it all has a price Anything you can offer a limb or a life I don't really want to settle when it comes to the bribe and They get the message and pull from their great collection For a chance to revel in their three hundred famous seconds Your best investment is all that would be requested Thanks again your patronage always accepted next Step right up come one, come all everybody's got a vice I'ma cater t'all Any problem in your life I can maybe solve and then I gotta get outta here by late tomorrow With a new assortment of jewels in orbit afforded with a little bit of hard-earned fortune [Of] course a portion's more endorsement now I gotta go and order wider doors and Higher clearance items here in the auction with awfully nice appearance, "Buy you[rself the] purest designer serums!" "...costs what it costs having thine imperium!! Tourniquet murder kits there and here's some rope and a route to the nearest peer, son Collar and a podium and coming in fearsome really wanna try to be a peacher? Be some[thing] With a billion light-bulbed brilliant light show [there's a] hell of a living in selling bibles Heavenly living, a clean white robe, and everyone follows with these eyes closed, so What are you buying? Or better, what are you selling? I really wanna get a look at whatever you're willing To sell to the right guy to buy at a high price you know what I do when I'm making a living and so What I'm asking [for] or offering's more than favorable If you aint ready yet to sell it what's it on the table for? This here's a megastore it's vurtual and capable Of granting me the salary that rap ain't paying for

Down here where everything all around peers Scouts clear 'cross every part of the biosphere For miles we're but couldn't be seen without gear How rare that the thought of it is so out there Now stare and magnify x1,000 Astounded that we loungin' around it our private housing And while you browsing to look at how big the town is There's so much more to go but yo some of'em never found it This isolated oasis remaining nameless From when we came in on IFT rafts and then said, "We made it!" We bustin' out the crates and cardboard that no one wasted And then spraying up the sides of the wall until all the paint drips The battle wages for days and the stage is raging Some count and gather wages to pay for and place their wagers It's on the pages but really it's the same 'cause We'll prolly just end up symbols for universal notation There ain't no city of... you'll never see enough On any medium painted white & sepia This ain't no idiom we got the feeling of About a billion primary cilia Your view at first: you notice a newer Earth Where the creatures that'll meet here don't speak any human words You do a search and study what you unearth To be here with what you see or to work in this universe We just submerge to a depth that you can't observe In a quadrant that's a part of a section you've never heard [of] Far from inert these table rotators turn I'm kicking the sickest verses conversing them with germs Despite the clapping and dapping as a reaction If the body's too big this party ain't even happening So just imagine the gathering when we're wrapping [up] And, cousin, it doesn't end until after we pack it back in For now we keep up toasting and roll the weed up Looked over noticed Greydon puffing cheeba with amoeba Blowing sativa reveling in a sea of Something so colloquial [as] far as the eye can see, but

Un-tidal'd 01:26
They say an object in motion tends to stay in motion Unless acted on by a force opposing A flow so frozen yet given the notion To rock it back-and-forth like a boat in the ocean Oh shit supposing I go condoning Patrolling around the corner to see if the circle's open So I dove in and holding the microphone when They pass it inside this cipher we keeping it on-going now This is for the locals who steadily pedal vocals Who go out there getting social with focus it's never hopeless So I coax with an over dosage of a dopeness I wrote this over some music Elusive was the composer They say, "Atomos, you don't think inside the box, do you?" "Hell na I'm a marijuana connoisseur." I've been known to roll a ball of hash up on a skewer And freebase like for strings were given to you Hope you give in to the music use it fuse it through your Auditory cortex as we execute the Oddest stories more texts for a step into a Monetory vortex where we set the future Think with raps weak you could surpass me? I'm so nasty Popovich wanna draft to me Happily but I'm rapping actually I don't fancy I'd rather be going away with the flowing and breaking them off with a fat beat They living in last week while I be moving up past peaks Flow in the motion I am hoping to go with never the minimal passing I'm thinking it's actually the way I be living at max speeds Make an arrangement, several statements out of me living it fast peace

All I think when all I see is them from then who were just like me and Wading in three inch while I'm in the deep end telling me school was the best damn thing is, "I can imagine it. I could've had it. 'Stead I went and dedicated life to a passion." "Man, that's tragic. How can you cash in?" You know, I never thought about it time just passed and 'Fore I knew it I was this deep in didn't ever clock in for the time we spent But I would never try to go rewind it, man 'cause I know I don't really wanna wind up in Some nine-to-five where I might retire 'til then guess I gotta try to rise Through a corporate latter aint a story sadder than me kinda wondering about "...if I'd've tried." But now I got a ball rolling so now I'm gonna go all in or Turn back now to a blurred background with a story and a heart broken I know I can do it I feel it but in truth I get self conscious kind of when I do shit Been called stupid, told I couldn't do this, I'll never make a living off of music But I've been doing this since 'fore my late teens reciting in the mirror and in front of blank screens Checking the reflection of what they'd see but now I look at all of it and what may be It's a risk and I gotta roll the dice knowing that I'm runnin in a maze with the mice I don't really see another way for my life everyday give it away to the vice Where do I see myself in twenty-five years Hopefully going on tour no where 'round here 'Round the world back again and with some[thing] y'all hear Having the time of the life I'm living out yea I had a hard time when I wrote this song I wrote this verse first now the road it's on Long one ahead of it it won't be long til it's all set, done, and I'm going on To the next thing that I'll be investing working on my phone until I break my text screen Writing what I found to be interesting 'til I'm in the booth mic check one, testing 'Til I'm through with writing I'm cool just reciting in a room that I'm hiding But then I gotta go and make moves and I'm outtie probably be writing another groove for the Audi- tory Emporium pouring at 4 AM thoughts that'll pop when I'm poorly recording them Everybody choose[s] how their origin story ends then it can be told by the boring historians So what's it like running with the hype from a crowd of a thousand to kill it with tonight? I wouldn't know but the other night I had a good show when I went up on the mic Now I gotta get a dedicated guest line 'cause the crowd that I bring in effects my set time Plus I'm getting sick of doing this kind of show I know, it's humbling it's fine But I'm getting older and I kind of thought I'd be a bigger name in the game I know when it's on me To buckle down, not fuck around and come in off beat, but to kill it like a villain you're feeling when off screen And I don't know where all of it'll go if anyone'll hear it or nobody'll know But it's a goal that I wanna go through with true shit so I gotta know

Carry On 04:36
I find amazement in making a new arrangement The moment when you sort it in order to make a statement I went through stages and waded in a waves of mazes So now I'd like to pay you a "Thank you for those who made it." And for your patience especially to those That I've known since my DC and Seattle shows Since Lyrical Manifest had a song Since this hip-hop soulja was fresh on the battlezone And it took a lot longer than I wanted, I admit it But perfection is the test on a lesson you're never getting And this is far from perfect but it's all that I had to work with Plus this is my debut im just scratching the dirt surface And yea, it makes me nervous this new urge to take it further The future is just a blur I'm not too sure it's all uncertain The universe ain't permanent term isn't very long So for the duration that you're in it you're gonna carry on Carry on Carry on and on and on and on Carry on so carry on This aint "Goodbye." this is "Until next time." And 'til we meet again I'll be writing my best lines Swinging around a pen to compile my text fine So when I see you then I can provide with fresh rhymes I wanna be the rapper that rivals the ones I idolize And by the Nine I'd die to try doing it my entire life Until I code and they run in to read my vital signs But can't supply [me] with life so my death certificate's finalize And even after gather a piece of masters Humbly leaving that for some for the grieving bastards I hope you grasp the image I've given that should Actually help you capture meaning in every chapter 'Cause tell me y'all what does it matter where we are When life is meaningless even this every area And with no guarantees everything can be scary, huh? But in the long run we gone carry on It's been a long day since I first got started And started to understand the plight of the starving artist I think what's oddest about it is how we all get A market we all belong in for audiences we target And so we all just evolve as we move along with Options we all had opted for often until we got them And once we saw that it's promising if we're on it We wanted to not get off it 'til all of it got accomplished Yea, it's the same ol' song, dance, and all I'm at it like an addict who combats withdraw By rattling in his cabinet for tall stacks and saw A bag of his patterned tabs that on contact dissolve So I'll continue my aiming and hold it steady Not letting up yet I'm ready already and there we are An open pasture of chapters that we can master 'Cause after this very song I promise to carry on
