lyrics
Never sightly The falling of the mighty Pillars of stone Body stripped to the bone Standin for Centuries in the sandstorm Is this what life is Carrying emotion in things lifeless Never sightly The falling of the mighty The reign blind me But will these creations survive me Leader gon' fall with or without his people Mocking hand Feeding heart bleed through Over this land bare Look upon this wreck in despair The falling of the mighty Never sightly This reign blind me Face sunk in sand Knowing my people now one with the land

lyrics
I let him be Caught up in his brevity Ill rest in peace when I got my mama unapologetically set Never to lift a finger Im so high This phone ringing a stinger Locked on I got flares Long stroll Through life no cares No stones no sticks Flows like this Execution or elocution My lady say she follow the phrases if they moving Legs quake I create the bridge between phonics and tectonics I left out that I was distant missin meals To inch my way into a field that wanna spend my check before I count it Why you slide to talk if you aint wanna make it about me Free man in me I want cash but not tryna make it without me I out speak niggas with the essence I spread to my co-stars Companions I had abandoned to obtain some more bars Said with no need but I got em Wits sharp as gettin bit by tarkatans Her fingers through all the knots in my head Part of me partially dead And all he know that’s foreign to I Is that it’s better being alive Hate to see me get high? Well look over there and toss me my lighter My favorite liar you know you dont care bout the future being no brighter Eyes veiny I see through that Bane in me baby you need a new back Green in me see this bicep I flex you get blew back More than a few loose tracks Imma give out eventually I just silence steps in event of any contingency The minute we get momentum I promise I wont forget you But it’s plenty of contenders for the position Known as the tongue of terror Hone in on my peril Our world resting on a hair And I’m seconds from trimming the end I missed this shit she filling me in How you know who suit the future? You just shootin to see some hitmarkers Zoomin indefinite through these lenses to get a clearer target Known as the tongue of terror I hone in on my peril Our world resting on a hair And I’m seconds from trimming the end I missed this shit she filling me in How you know who suit the future? You just shootin to see some hitmarkers Zoomin indefinite through these lenses to get a clearer target

Tables Turned 02:11
lyrics
Let’s count this money Let’s court this karma That shit above me Imma laugh all the way to the session Scrounging for them tags Rifle through my collection Maniacally twist my stache' Dreamt of them credits let’s see it manifest Bled into realism You get to play victim cuz I look too good to feel your pain Make this trade No stylizing my name She like "say it in yo rappin' accent" Audibly out of it she say it’s attractive I switch stances Get faster part of the passive Dig this pit to bury you and the hatchet Trail of bread so I remember the way back Unfair way too broken to get patched Proudly proclaim polo even though I had the spliff last Let’s hit it Phone and my nose peeking over covers Clancy’s division Dark zones I was hidden and quarantined My body spasms I mumble rhymes but who know what they mean, Letters together look like hieroglyphs Just to say I can tolerate it I removed my microchip Barehanded I managed to spin this whole shit With minor scratches and skips All else fails I’m confident in how they perceive me under the needle Salt on the leech wounds You gone I’m clotted Why you think im not gone leave you? And they gone keep on Dematerialize then reform I’m over antics known to slow me Commanding lead over you and your homies My limbs been bony And my joints might pop Focus on what you selling rather than who might cop And when that wheel turn then the rest might it come back around count the rest in spite And they gone keep on Dematerialize then reform I’m over antics known to slow me Commanding lead over you and your homies My limbs been bony And my joints might pop Focus on what you selling rather than who might cop And when that wheel turn then the rest might It come back around count the rest in spite

A Toast 02:20
lyrics
Rapping beauty Pricked my finger on a steel wheel Active duty Take the pain to say I still feel Like I’m ascended Old garb isn't fitting Sovngarde Axe my neck to claim my victory Baby my dogs in heaven Hell hounding me Louder speak over barking She proud I just call malarkey Won’t be appreciative of me til I’m making em money Watch them cheeks turn deep blue Degree of burns lethal Skin grayed Living through my respirator That side you choose in desperation I flat line flat footed Tell the king to up my seat and thank him for warming the cushion, Talking bout my carbon footprint and still flick my filter in the bushes Fell in love in my shabby home Watching storms from the patio Leave your brodie bloody in the pool, "Don Eladio" Manic go from infatuation to yeah I remember you Tempted to the liquid ooze like Tentacool, Refuse to let her drain me Least I try Wonder what let me untie the ribbon in the sky Shoot as soon as I see the white in her eyes Scarcity in the ammunition count Malicious mouth Sway the play my way I get no sleep to seize the day Knock some miles down to make my rounds So I appreciate the travel Would you rather I follow something streamline? In the meantime I maximize the output Birth bastardized I’ll act how the mouse would If I can let my tears run Raise my pinky off the glass here’s to us Play her evidence on repeat Cuz I’m not good with the speeches All my brothers keeper We strive for wealth as one So together we keep it All my brothers keeper We strive for wealth as one So together we keep it

Slip 01:49
lyrics
Keep on bluffin' Under assumptions I speak from within the clutches Move in mystery Take the darkness with me Light hittin' Art vivid in the flash Regardless of your past You shall fall too Power taste of blood As it call upon you Hatred or betrayal its Playin' no favorites Poor mortals greatest favor is devotion Seeing not Now the voices in my head the source of the commotion Edges exist Only reminiscent when forced over Later save the questions Simply subtle suggestion I cant control her Matters of the heart Obstructions when you dabble with the dark I come meaning no harm Once my patience is gone I’ll show my world Vast array of black Wonder when you slip can they bring you back When it's no strings attached The selling point of any contract What’s a slipper to a jumper Deaths dance Take her hand cause I love her The king get buried under his own infrastructure when it crumble Thirst for power Plunging the world into its darkest hour What’s a slipper to a jumper Deaths dance Take her hand cause I love her The king get buried under his own infrastructure when it crumble

Head In The Clouds 02:08
lyrics
Daywalker daydreamer Same talk until you see it I was often putting peace in My search for the missing pieces Prefer to be in The simplicity of my world My fist at the wind I curl The divinity of everything you’ve given me Sit on my shoulders Palms break the falling boulders Spliffs up for the fallen soldiers Where they at it’s timeless I pay em with homage Keep the memory All in the brain Like a phantom pain I go out my way to imagine Only dream of success but what happens after World burning what can I see by 30? If i go early is the gates still pearly Her presence so otherworldly I know she’ll never hurt me I lay my head in chaos Every day ours Live on In my dreams to make up for every day lost Shoutout my niggas who was with me since face off Hear him knockin Tryin yo hardest bet you cant cut that tape off When yo hands meet who do you pray for? Yo end come for another nigga ends to meet its the same story At my lowest every morning felt like the prior So much so that I envied the sun for rising On the horizon All the things My thirst for money make me see My eyes low but the future dont look so bleak Keep my head in the clouds Stop the rain as it come down Only I control what’s projected for me now Together we weather whatever Regardless who catch me Head in clouds See the storm brewing My efforts slowly proving effective As i add unpredictability to my list of weapons Such progression Take more than simply living to mimic I figure niggas see me different cuz they motives extrinsic And that’s only the beginning

Like Water 02:11
lyrics
Step all over this shit You was born on that fence No coincidence Meeting me here Deeper my dear See more than the blues at the surface We emerging from the shore With this gold we had discovered on the floor She like let's sell it to the land dwellers Hell is off with you What the profit do besides make us forget where we got it Tend to my promise of dodging toxins Dripping off the rocks To fine spray at the bottom What’s colossus if he rusted and rotten A novice a lose his head to the pressure It’s fuck the bread for the better But only if you need it Baby all the more reason to leave me lost at sea The prophecy had said some shit cant recite off hand Once you here you miss your life upon the land And feeling rooted Can we prove that you would drown if you went down And if it matters I dive in right after The ripple pattern Had to Shape to the bass I awake to her cold hand on my face Kiss the back of it Think am I bad for her Can I ever know what happens or does the rising levels cause the path to shut And I just Continue sinking Here for the shrinkage She stretch it trouble cutting The surface tension Ignorant in my independence is all the cause Stumble upon Where we went wrong in this pond And how it dont flow Or how we dont float It’s nothing til that petty puncture sunk the whole boat No fault of you or I but something die regardless how the war go She only know me from above the torso Unless she hold her breath H2 with none of the O left under this water Trying to manage a handle on your depth H2 with none of the O left under this water Trying to manage a handle on your depth

Falcon's Focus 02:07
lyrics
Cohort commonality corrupt You hear me you stand the fuck up For what you believe in Draft direction switching by the season Im off with it Night vision Peep you through the tinted Too high what I'm hiding for The prissy pedestaled proprietor Seek to minimize the life of the rioter But I’m right here to Fight this good fight Papa El live such a good life I still feel his arms around me Can't come up on only the down beats In that jolly voice he referred to me as the "Jay bird" Sing it gladly Grandaddy Watch me make you proud from the clouds See me soaring She keep tabs that’s what I'm scoring I sense you from this tower like Korin You would have the world if only I could afford it Cut the beat and call it poetry Multifaceted I’m rappin' at whoever got 5 on it In a crib packed to capacity Perspiring in my element What if I told you these the hands that built yo settlement? Laugh in my face or would you reach for a shake? On the borrowed soil where it pay to be paid So I hover over With the falcons focus Black as night baby Ain't nothin low risk But I love them odds Say that we ain't Gods but cant tell me what set us apart Racking the tab at my tailor flee Trailing me Inhaled a g Or 3 And look inward Baby recenter I look inward See the tools that I was given For the journey We gone turn it into prosperity Under my wing Not a one to compare to me Baby recenter I look inward See the tools that I was given For the journey We gone turn it into prosperity Under my wing Not a one to compare to me

Plot Armor 02:06
lyrics
Baby my love is lawless Hands dirtiest of em all but To her im flawless Either side pulling my arms out the sockets Keep her hands in my pocket No man you only confident when profits in Common sense Im constantly cognizant of the opposite Back turned My brother got my 6 Plug got my 7 Baby dont wait all day to get 8 And I rhyme like Im front the barrel on the 9 She so attentive Dont a detail slip her She fit in the slipper Like they shot all glass Monster pop up out the tall grass Im in your ro you get it back its all ash Inadvertently attractive the main attraction Always front the flash Lesson hardest it all dont last Maybe catch her on the flip Main character with my plot armor stripped Feeling every hit Insanity really Tryna recreate the same feeling Young love is silly it’s all forgiven The end of an era showed my my errors So I love you better by comparison Another day another kill for the cull Baby thick as my skull Aint no getting through it Spoilsport i cant feature losing Empty stomach copping by the 2's I was cutting it close Running under the radar Lightweight greedy with ghost I attach to who need me the most Now I'm really the villain cuz heroes dont get saved Cannot complain Like em straightforward Shorty pull me right out the Hanes Belly hangs On the mic flex the gains Baby I feel the same Worried that I cant Express to the depth That I would like To have you for this life And the next Get this weight up off my chest Love is never nothin to regret Baby I feel the same Worried that I cant Express to the depth That I would like To have you for this life And the next Get this weight up off my chest Love is never nothin to regret

Fact of Life/Usurper 03:35
lyrics
Time only good for teaching life facts Leaving to get your life back Light last long enough to finish a song Over then I fall back in dark all along My bright side is only seen when its gone Breaking down But front the camera I look strong Every year i inch closer Been so much as a nudge to send me over The edge and once I land what I see The woman of my dreams Live to cheat Cuz we only meet in my sleep To me Shit ain't really deep Just said it subtle How you look tryna tread in puddles? I rip from the hip Decisions don't gotta be puzzles Sippin' pushin' troubles out of frame Presence more menacing from the stage If and when I became of age Seen on a larger scale its all grey But do views like that suffice In a world of black and white? Friends passing me by But thoughts not half as precise See myself Living twice If I can Watchin' brick by boring brick on demand Big heart the handyman Motivation as it stands Hard to hold Heart and soul Wont get sold Is the goal I wont get the money and leave you out in the cold Love to spoil me Fit is fit for royalty Stomp on a gold paved road Dorothy Abort the scene Safest with you escorting me she say Extorting me for pay Cannot allow it My endowments in language A doubt ain't gon save me I allow you to play me I could’ve kept the vault stacked Opener you lost at Crown get tossed back Now lets talk that, Business Emphasis on dividends, Name yo price I reel it in Fix ya face up How could we take the same cut? Pay up It’s like comparing the art of a child to Giger Time up I stare with eyes of Ghost Rider Seeing the magnitude of my importance All my subordinates carry ordinance Middle of nowhere Diggin' on the coordinates He wanna settle our differences how unfortunate I only get hit with 30's from the judges I can smell the corruption In your tone Rattle me to the bone Snap of my fingers Henchman lift him I no longer see ya Once my essence depleted Looking for a lucky usurper to free me Ain't the free-est thinkers So they need a head for the kingdom Attempting to see me as human When looking through the ruins Do the sculptures inflate my belly The contrary your majesty they would tell me Wake me from this gluttonous dream they selling me Sand in the cracks The royal never fall elegantly Attempting to see me as human When looking through the ruins Do the sculptures inflate my belly The contrary your majesty they would tell me Wake me from this gluttonous dream they selling me Sand in the cracks The royal never fall elegantly
