I blow with the force of Santa Anna
Stand in awe of the windfall
This man’ll fold manna
Men’ll eat to famine and then speak with candor
Chill Fam we dancing for the bandstand camera
Wallow in the gluttony developing vices
Tomorrow they’ll be flooding with me help and advice
Amazing the lost see disciples as slaves
And try and liberate the devotees from mass graves
The nerve a few in the flock got plots reserved
Hop to serve when the wolf spots the herd
Atop sugar hill cock, aim, shoot to kill
You call that executing god’s will
The fury materialized within the flurry of shells
The shepherd’s body found buried in the well
The Exo will decompose the manifesto grows
Sip the spirits from the brim when it flows
The reticent are standing reverently at the threshold
Awaiting the command to join the regiment inside
We traveled from every spot on the map without rest so
Prepare and hope the space in the gates will open wide
Brothers welcome sisters thank y’all for coming
Blessed are those who heed the summons of the drumming
You are now in the presence of light
Sight is inconsequential welcome to the temple
They never studied busting tempo in the temple
Rise to one oh five flying by simple
They stepped to me now they're walking with a limp yo
Dragged down the silk road young but I think old
Sitting in the citadel hearing a distant drum and bell
Spinning me like a carousel spitting out all my parallels
I'm not discriminating simply eliminating
The men and women with a demon that's ruminating
A human sacrifice if it could bring you back to life
I have to lie the truth is that you have to die
Recognize my closed fist eclipse your wits quick
But me I keeps it going like a bottomless pit
And some of the time I'm running circles round you and shit
And I can't even see you cause I ground you to bits
And I can't even see you cause I ground you to bits
The reticent are standing reverently at the threshold
Awaiting the command to join the regiment inside
We traveled from every spot on the map without rest so
Prepare and hope the space in the gates will open wide
Brothers welcome sisters thank y’all for coming
Blessed are those who heed the summons of the drumming
You are now in the presence of light
Sight is inconsequential welcome to the temple

Don't disrespect cause I'll straight correct
As I'm lifting up my fist I'll find your chin and then connect
It's about how you act yo skipping hitting a plateau
I'm a classless asshole I'm a king in a castle
It's my empire as if I'm Ross Perot
When philosophy meets poetry like Henry D Thoreau
Meets Rousseau what you know when I let the haters know
Slipping hitting dipping and kicking it like it's Tae Kwon Do
I'm sick of pacifist thought man would you fucking just stop
Dealing amethyst rock instead of cannabis pot
Habitual it's ritual it's whatever you want to call it
Elevating to another plane and grabbing knowledge
Tempo offsetting heat that's why your sweating
And now you going down in flames like you was Otis Redding
These despicable political inexplicable criminals
Simply unforgivable a fact that's unequivocal
A nation that's divisible hating it and we miserable
Living life this predictable bordering the unthinkable
Living life this predictable bordering the unthinkable
Cool wind replenish the energy spent
In the argument against a battle for supremacy
One not control one son you know the rules
You know where you come from sun you hold tools
Sharp tip spent time on the grind
Stone faced my elements are refined
Go head send the inquisition apply pressure
I betcha before they finish their intention they bow
I plow six mile furrows three hands deep
Plant seeds from the Burroughs reap a Flatbush
Passion push em over the edge
Now they asking us how can this zealous one dwell among the heads
Sitting patient awaiting an explanation for truth
Fucking my wordplay up suck on the fruits
Of my validated pass to pass for flash cards
Some hate to have to do math to find proof
Issue that decree to murder my last sons but
Yo they getting Murked fore they touch the first one
Hit em high DESIGN BUILD bombed across the sky in stencils
Welcome to the temple

I ain't citing no biting or rewriting I'm too exciting
When I'm letting my lyrics fly right on time and
Taking no prisoners firing all my cylinders
Slicker than Pernell Whitaker slicker than oiled vinegar
Style's my signature smooth like a caligrapher
Writing mad rhymes to pass the time
When it was simpler thinking bout my choices
Avoiding rejoicing poison spitting lyricist be making active noises
Destroyed this repping like the man from Illinois did
Science and mathematical beast Hank McCoy kids
I'm getting elevated name was Earl Boykins
It's pointless and every track be disappointing
Fuck, doesn't mean that I ain't gifted
I'm grinding all my gears when all they really need some shifting
I'm running a muck all out of luck I'm a be spitting to make just a buck
Ain't gone be quitting til I'm in the dust
Mozart, Beethoven and Iron Lung busts
I wont compete in this competition
Because I have a greater mission
I hope that you listen

What if all of my fears irrational
Why am afraid of dying
That's nothing unnatural
Why are we afraid of trying
That’s nothing but attitude
Why are you wasting time if
You know they wont give it back to you
Battle each of your demons
Challenge every doubter
I doubt if you’ll be so lucky to
Live or to love without em
Fought em, thought I was drowning
Waded way out the fountain
Deep at sea a piece of me just
Praying I see the mountain
Oh lord forgive him
He’s so weary of seeking to be
Rewarded for swimming
But it’s punishment at the functional
Core of the system
As the laws is written
It’s a war of attrition
Yo what more are we missing
They keeping all of this wisdom
And the wealth for they selves
We in cells and prison
With no help and assistance
I think hell is a business
Where the key to success is kept
Hidden in the darkness
Don’t be afraid to go in it come on
I wont compete in this competition
Because I have a greater mission
I hope that you listen
I hope that you listen
Hope that you
Hope that you
Hope that you

Son of Menelik made it possible to be here
We wanna thank y’all for being here
Children of the rap tradition back with what you've been missing
This is a world premiere
Original seed made it possible to be here
We wanna thank y’all for being here
Children of the rap tradition back up in the kitchen
Cooking up a world premiere
Warp speed y'all caught the feed via satellite
Postmodernist philosophy of the Pre-Adamite
News attuned to the prattle right moving to shut ‘em down
Troops of The Sound we Seattlites
A dew drop of this’ll do for the populous
It’s poppin and obvious we bout to drop for the democratis
In the pockets of the economy the bomb ticks
About to cook and the outlook is ominous
Who you ride for fuck it I’m trynna drive y’all
To the brink of your instinct survival better think fore we extinct
Fast tribe will sink under the tidal the last link is vital
To the alliance and the principle appliance of the method
We all revolve around science
Both the biased and the pious will lie in ruin alike
When you and I are defiant yo
Son of Menelik made it possible to be here
We wanna thank y’all for being here
Children of the rap tradition back with what you've been missing
This is a world premiere
Original seed made it possible to be here
We wanna thank y’all for being here
Children of the rap tradition back up in the kitchen
Cooking up a world premiere
I'm here to wreck a beat and break this mother off
You could say I'm busting lyrics like you in your socks
I rock with it in it again and again
Feeling to stop the rhythm hitting within em I stock venom
The drops sentimental I'm locked from heavy metals
Tupac got shot to cop his heavy mentals
I guarantee it that I'm visionary seeing
Believing to be perceiving what your eyes are not receiving
You should leave this to someone that could weave lips shut
I'd leave you out to dry just hang em up
Cold like Minnesota barely has iota in his brain stem
Want to battle me you'd hit the pavement
No trap it's only boom bap saving us from dude
That shit is fucking whack change the track
Finishing it pro rata fighting back like Zapata
A Filipino flipping off damaged Spanish Armadas
Son of Menelik made it possible to be here
We wanna thank y’all for being here
Children of the rap tradition back with what you've been missing
This is a world premiere
Original seed made it possible to be here
We wanna thank y’all for being here
Children of the rap tradition back up in the kitchen

Killing yourself trying but why are you still lying
Problematic multiplying the issues that's underlying
I feel it that it's visceral bombing just like a missile
You got to flip the script up on it's ass and write like Cicero
Be invincible I vent it all Invent it all
We gone win it all, gonna see it all like I'm the Pentagon
Gunning them up, running them up, selling them up short
Cause for sport barbarians carrying Aryan filth back north
Seattle where the greyness is famous for being heinous
Doesn't fade us here to train us get up and entertain you
I'm knowing that flowing is going to show that I'm going to make everything aight
I'm full of fight, bark and I bite when I be ripping em right off the mic
I'm doing it with my mind spray up like the crime rate
Finally finding that rhyming is going to be what I'll be doing full time
A battle royal cause few will ever be loyal
Aluminum foil for my paranoia conspiratorial
Drop a sweet sixteen like the Sistine
Chapel when I rap I'm the man Lil Dap what
Doused in the fountain mist drip city center house
Enter into our shit gather round
Shout it out holler if you've had it
Now the whisper get a little bit louder
Til the balance of the power shift
Stone throw dethrone the king of planet rock
Got the hammer cocked maybe never know the scope of damage
Cocked gun if the beast is breathing we are not done
Organize the posse tell em drop it on the one
Let’s take the shortest way to orchestrated chaos
You’re forced to face the source of pain it may cause
The lord forsake the wards of state your faith’s lost
Forty days of storming the gate
Sure to pay off soon, right
Riders assembled under the moonlight
Commune of lunatics troop move in unison
Ruins of the new writ loop played news clips
Shooters of the gift ricochets graze the crucifix
A spark of truth is lit Dionysus
It shines bright guide us through this newest line of crisis
It’s a different type of fighter this resistance requires
Generals are temporal leaders never retire
We set afire the missal Epistle begin to burn
When it’s finished you’re finna see your returns get diminished
It’s low percentage interest if any in your privilege bro
Just sew the seeds and hope the people reap the benefits
Doused in the fountain mist drip city center house
Enter into our shit gather round
Shout it out holler if you've had it
Now the whisper get a little bit louder
Til the balance of the power shift
Stone throw dethrone the king of planet rock
Got the hammer cocked maybe never know the scope of damage
Cocked gun if the beast is breathing we are not done
Organize the posse tell em drop it on the one

Regulators in the graveyard new rules for the new school
Set a date for the seance voodoo's what the crew use
Stay awake for the chaos shoot for the blue suits
Hang loose with the fang tooth grey wolf with the wasted youth
Take two say who who made you
All time great not a two game rule
All white race not one lane lose
All white lace in the Kool aid juice
Hey Zeus Jesus all praise due who do they pray to
All heads turned for the melee brood
Been away came back to the place they roost
Woof shit is about to get ugly hens
Are holed up in a house full of money
The field is on fire, the barn is all bloody
And nobody's heard if the farmer is coming to tend to his flock
Been here since ten of the clock stock in that simmering pot
Trying to buy time is not working sir - are you for certain
It's worth what you spent on that watch
Watch. Keep one eye open
No blinking you sink into sleep and you meeting its cousin
Eye of the needle the reaper is coming
The brink of extinction the people's destruction
Keep on disrupting the evil republic
Do not hold grudges against your own brothers
Cause you and me will continue to be considered enemies
One in the same to these fuckers I swear
Right there a kick and a snare
And a stick and a spear and the spirit of 76 in the air
In the era of Ish are we slicker this year
Shit is not what it appears
How is this governor stuck in arrears
What is this button this buzz in my ears
The mamas and papas I'm no son of theirs
Run for the hills head for the border with portable drills
Scramble to dam up the waters i promise you
We will dismantle whatever you build
Real recognize real whether the texture is weathered and peeled
Solar exposure to polarization of
Particles brought us together to kill
Death of a precedent the rest of my testament
Malevolent rebels are yelling oh what an expression of eloquence
Arrest the precedent sever the heads of his delegates
Welcome to hell where the resident celebrants relish in decadence
It's like I never thought I'd be doing this shit anyways
Hit you with a right hand BING call me Hemingway
Little man but I swing like a heavyweight
Ready, wait, too late staring at the ceiling fan
Yes from a little man guess I am the riddle man
Strung you like a fiddle pretending to be the middle man
Yup I think you better duck I don't believe anything just for a buck
Truth hurts when your long in the tooth
Shirts bloody with the two verse murdered coming through here
Syncopated rhythm while shaken up from the rhythm or the schism
Or the chick that had that motherfucker singing
I'm a keep on swinging I'm a sling it like I'm Brett Favre
Damn it all to hell when I'm spitting up with my hell fire
You missed wide right, kicking from the white right
Ease up on 'em Mikey Shybee damn it ain't excite bike
Spit it with the quickness verbal fitness in a half bar
Going down Xan bar, greatest since Alexander
Slicker than your average rapper is with the language
Slam it doing damage think I'm going to need a bandage
One thing I've been thinking bout is speeding up keeping up
Farthest thing inside my mind I got beats I'm beating up
I could do it in my sleep counting sheep
Dropping lyrics, writing poems while you're pissing in the sheets
Death of a precedent the rest of my testament
Malevolent rebels are yelling oh what an expression of eloquence
Arrest the precedent sever the heads of his delegates
Welcome to hell where the resident celebrants relish in decadence
Death of a precedent a test of intelligence
The best of the messengers said it with debilitating impediments
Settle your reticence, and ready your regiment
Steady your weapon and let it eliminate all the unpleasantness
Lick that zig keg full of powder got kickback kid
Little dot fixed on a slicked-back wig
Lick that Sig, lick that Sig
Whittle that switch for to stick that pig
Hogs in the back of a big, black rig
Spit in the pit get it lit quick took a
Little sip of the swig then i hit that zig
Clouded my vision, smoke in my eyes, slight astigmatism
Write a prescription to right the deficiency
I can see clearly the cycle is vicious
Righteous administer rites of the wicked
Afflicted, befallen of all type of sickness
I offer my alms slit in my palms the
Sign of stigmata that's my crucifixion
It's my jurisdiction I've been commissioned you under my supervision
It's time that I tighten the reigns,
Crash of the titan's wave, the tides have changed
Triton's back the Scion of Poseidon cites the title track
A life of modern miracles this here might be my final act
Death of a precedent the rest of my testament
Malevolent rebels are yelling oh what an expression of eloquence
Arrest the precedent sever the heads of his delegates
Welcome to hell where the resident celebrants relish in decadence
Death of a precedent a test of intelligence
The best of the messengers said it with debilitating impediments
Settle your reticence, and ready your regiment
Steady your weapon and let it eliminate all the unpleasantness

Bringing the beauty of Venus into your intravenous
Some say I'm a genius others would rather quarantine us
Synthetic aesthetic I think that shits pathetic
Your rhymes need paramedics to save us from anesthetics
This is my op-ed a hip hop head make em all drop dead
Plop when I pop gems
It's a disgrace like Chuck three verses Tito
Drug sapped libido Rich like Incognito
I could spoon feed em weed in the middle of arboretums
Thinking bout my freedom but that's already deleted
Stop bleeding, stop breeding we leaving the Garden of Eden
For freeing our minds with truth but paying for it abuse
Stop, alfresco I let my breath go
Inhale deep when I say it with my chest yo
Ripping a rhyme I'm finding double time is designing
A maze of lyrical haze that's always ending up on time
Fatal flying guillotine coming from the Philippines
Make a dent heaven sent hype like amphetamines
No serenity that's my identity
Temperamentally to my enemies there are ten of me
This is rap right fuck your back track aight
We don't need training wheels when we make it slap live
My ability exceeding probability that I'm a have upward mobility dependability
In the middle of me killing is more than it seems
I'm not a villian but I'm willing to meddle with things
Scribbler of literature mind dribbler
Magic with the words and I'm random with the trivia
Vibrations, that's the mind power
With the vibrations
I find it easier to express outrage
Ain't ever really outgrew my burn shit down phase
Maybe that's the reason I've been seeing my fan base about face
Going for a bucket brigade to keep their house safe
Doubt plays a pivotal role travel down stage
Cast of characters disparaging renowned names
Salivating over salvation what the palate wait
Trying to find a way to make it without faith
Bounced on the counter revolutionary Califate
Press power from the state brush the palace gate
The loner's army never let the code evalobrate
Artificial allies always coming around late
Occupy is trying to take a slice of pound cake
House way outright entitlement nowadays
Weight crash party somebody smash the Palisades
DJ play the crowd fave drown em in sound waves
Blow the corpse float across the floor plains
Pay with chump change must train to hunt game
Bloody Sunday same as any other day
Commonplace, ordinary, humdrum, mundane
Somethings strange coming through the grate
Will the son stay? Not if the father ain't familiar with gunplay
Shuffle up and deal the cards suits called Trump's played
Surfs in the graveyard refurbishing the love trains
Scream and shout blow the speakers out
Do you even know what you need out of a leader now
The tryant's in in the tower and the only way to climb is with the mind power
Streak and how make your people proud
Do you even remember how to let your feelings out
Clap your hands a little louder stand up and get free with that mind power
Vibrations, that's the mind power
That's the vibrations, that's the mind power
With the vibrations, the mind power
That's vibrations, mind power

I'm down to kick it take a sample flip it
Gifted Youngstaz switch it now we got a remix kitchen
Change the beat change your mind like I'm Zecharia Sitchin
I'm the opposite of bad but I rhyme so wicked
I'm rapping this shit when I'm off if I am soft gonna be lost
Stranded straight candid I'm moving up like a boss
I'm a grow with my music
No, I didn't choose it
Realized I had the Gift of Gab and so I used it
Don't you think if you could rhyme like this
That you'd be blowing up mics in every city you could fit
Right back to the lab again I'm a be straight up grabbing them
I'm talking about beats making hits when I'm slamming
Doesn't matter if you're losing as long as you keep on moving
You probably pass me on the way to higher evolution
I'm getting used up but it's for the revolution
Fluent while pursuing all my views I'm never losing
Fluent while pursuing all my views I'm never losing
Freak freak y'all Breakanomics y'all check it out
Twenty two with the chrome lip
Blocks hot careful for you cone drip roadblock
Clocks stop cop watch pockets where the phones hid
Slick shot get up off the office if your homesick
Duty calls color flash Goosebumps
Sweaty flesh vomit on his sweater like he Jimmy Smith
Ready yet lost selves lost cause soft bet
I would wager they ain't educated on the process
Hold tight get a read on em
Body language speaking volumes
Loud pump it summers running numbers for my cousin
I was plugged in I just didn't love it enough
My buttercup overrun spill the wine to their swollen stomachs
Elites surrounded by groundskeepers and gopher hunters
Explosive in the hole blow the cover
Slot stones hot motherfucking fun in the summer what's up
Peter ring them bells
Tell David get the harp play that thing like hell
Sound the warning the herald of the horn of Gabriel
On the day of great awakening we gone break that spell
Peter ring them bells
Tell David get the harp and play that thing like hell
Sound the warning the herald of the horn of Gabriel
On the day of great awakening we gone break that spell

Enigmatic spitting melodramatics fanatics of the mic you bout to be ecstatic
Slipping I ain't ever quitting imprinting the vision
With precision make incisions to see if you're not listening
I rhyme when my mind channels Mobb Deep
I'm sick like the sickle cell and you don't sleep
Saying my holy Mary's sitting in solitary
I'm writing rhyme schemes that's making me legendary fucking what
All fairness I bring the rareness so I don't fault you for bearing this unawareness
Mad scholastic bring back boom bap shit verbal gymnastics when I attack this
Weak it's plastic fake like the glass shit way too enthusiastic rap quit
Sorry that I'm saying it bullshit delaying it
Rhyme like a MAC-10 packed in spraying it
The point of fact is making you overreact
Hijack the track deliver what you lack
I could run techniques all week mind is a reservoir this is just a leak
I could run techniques all week mind is a reservoir this is just a leak
Chrome thirty eight in the breadbox
Seven shots in case I need them
And not because I think that that's the only path to freedom
But wrath and righteousness ideas that I believe in
I been applying discipline and practice all season
So when the spring arrives I'll be alive to see the liars
Tried for treason in the highest degree
That'll be the time we find a lion sleeping tonight
The chief is dying my people form a line in the street reading the riot act
Beautiful irony finally sees the right back
Peaceful iconography assembled
The symbol in sight is violence the knife is deep inside the giant's back
Scion of Ra the end side of a pariah organize entire communities of outliers
To rise just high enough to tie a rope around a spire
Collective retribution of soul from the proprietor
Stolen rivers and gold built an evil empire
No stream of economics chose gone grown tighter
My adviser wrote the guidance in code
I know the ciphers unbroken this flow could set the wall a fire
Fall out surround the fjord through some warriors attire
The carriers of torches for the lighting of the pyre
Put the flame to the white flag hanging from the wire
Cue the hallelujah chorus by the angels in the choir
Round sang out the canon loud banging out the operational base
Operation raising the stakes with the rates and the fees
To get paid to police these cops only serve and protect palatial estates
They say if you wanna cook ya gotta break a few plates
I shattered my share of platters at a youthful age
The sous chef used pepper to spray the toupee
Recipe came straight from a book with two pages
Hey look I ain't gotta prove nothing to nobody
I ain't ever represented no academic embody
And been admonished by scholarly types who read the manifesto
But never broke bread w the communists
Stop with all the posturing it's time to either shit or get off the pot
Flock fled the rooftop when a click it's one dead six apostles shot
Yeah we coming for ya head with the gospel chop come on
Yeah we coming for ya heads with the gospel chop
Yeah we coming for ya heads with the gospel chop
I could run techniques all week mind is a reservoir this is just a leak
I could run techniques all week mind is a reservoir this is just a leak
