SC Static - Far From Free (Intro) (Lyrics) (Chorus) Now I know for some of you this might be hard to see But this life is a setup, We all Far From Free But I ain’t talkin’ slaves like back in the days Cause this rage doesn’t equate to racist shackles and chains This is mind manipulation through mass hypnosis Designed innovations distract your focus Revised information, the facts are bogus Disguised as inflation and taxed as hoaxes (Verse) Corruption’s in the air, World’s worried and scared So every verse that I’ve prepared’s like a personal prayer Learn from and share, amongst the curtesy of the snares There’s a certain urgency, an emergency in the air I rise to mic’s height to fight the Devils With the Light that I Bear as the Righteous Rebel Put the hatred to rest with the urges I’ve buried Use my third eye carefully, that’s the burden I carry Now some would say I gotta pessimistic outlook Destined for depression from skepticism and found shook I seek truth to escape from the extortionists Excessive riches thrown in the faces of the misfortunate Unnecessary flaunts for praise to impress us To create pressures as rich authoritative oppressors In spite of the majority that’s somehow alright with it A white superiority false sense of entitlement But even they’re searching for solid stability Cause that mansion, cars, pool, and yard are all liabilities Workaholics who pay the cost to take care of it Then by the time they pay it off, got nobody to share it with Lose touch with men, originally friends Become the opposite of what they initially intend Millions mislead by the lies of our nation But defend the very same system which enslaves them America’s a bully, fines, extortion, and taxes The truth is a whole, lies are broke into fragments Like college education’s rate of inflation Forcing students to take out loans to make up for payments Classes wasted, by professors who unfairly graded Graduate and then go straight into their parents basement Apply for jobs just to try to make their debt decrease Then work inside an office and develop a dependency Desk seat, 50 hours a week So doubting you dreams and losing countless hours of sleep So yeah I gotta job homie, yeah I got a degree But local pot dealers make a bigger profit than me So why play it safe? Why follow the rules? When the game’s rigged and your only option’s to lose So use your subconscious for clues, cause it’s the proof And I know these ain’t the popular views, but it’s the truth I write for my future and in hopes of improving it I fight through my music to control me from losing it I rhyme for my freedom and the love of pursuing it So when I make it know that luck had nothing to do with it I write for my future and in hopes of improving it I fight through my music to control me from losing it I rhyme for my freedom and the love of pursuing it So when I make it know that luck had nothing to do with it (Chorus) Now I know for some of you this might be hard to see But this life is a setup, we all Far From Free But I ain’t talking slaves like back in the days Cause this rage doesn’t equate to racists shackles and chains This is mind manipulation, through mass hypnosis Designed innovations, distract your focus Revises information, the facts are bogus Disguised as inflation and taxed as hoaxes

SC Static - Suburbian Bop (Hook) This is that Suburbian Bop, you heard me a lot Thumpin' down your urban block in a Convertible drop Or a burgundy Dodge depending on your currency drive With your girl on my crotch with her friend twirling some pot This is that Suburbian Bop, you heard me a lot Threatened by the words that I drop and prefer me to flop I’m like a horrorcore horror flick too lurky to watch No concern for the cops, This is that Suburbian Bop (Verse 1) Back in High School my rhymin’ was original My mind was hypocritical, the sky was where my limits to Options they’re providing us, confining us and minuscule In fact I wrote these rhymes on the assignments that I didn’t do Fuck a school cop, nuggets in my tube socks Plus the lunch monitor just took away my boom box My best friend just expelled for having ganja I guess the K-9’s sniffin' must’ve smelled it in his locker Can’t even wear hats or backpacks in the hallways And all day security cameras within the crawl space We all slaves to our fear of defiance Tryna find a peaceful balance between spirit and science Politics and gossip, invitations to tag along A process where innovation is frowned upon Following damn fools for a secondary cause Established, ordained rules ain’t necessary laws. (Hook) It’s that Suburbian Bop, you heard me a lot Thumpin' down your urban block in a Convertible drop Or a burgundy Dodge depending on your currency drive With your girl on my crotch with her friend twirling some pot This is that Suburbian Bop, you heard me a lot Threatened by the words that I drop and prefer me to flop I’m like a horrorcore horror flick too lurky to watch No concern for the cops, This is that Suburbian Bop (Verse 2) I’m from an area where kids are off the hinge Where they carry rigs and wax pens to offer a smidge Half are back from rehab, half relapsing back in Don’t walk barefoot, cause you might just step on a syringe But it ain’t all bad, in the summer it’s bomb The colors of fall, rip an entire blunt through a bong So roll me some chron, as if I’m Redman if you fuck with it Rockin’ sweatpants, headband with a dutch in it Dumb critics couldn’t see me on your best day Checkmate, got you head noddin’ till your neck breaks Until you gotta rock a chiropractic neck brace Specifically designed to keep bobbin’ to my cassette tapes And I hate to be the bearer of bad news But cash rules along with gas fuels and fast foods And I ain’t rebelling with guns and a weapon Cause every session I’m blessing is like a public confession (Hook) This is that Suburbian Bop, you heard me a lot Thumpin' down your urban block in a convertible drop Or a burgundy dodge depending on your currency drive With your girl on my crotch with her friend twirling some pot This is that Suburbian Bop, you heard me a lot Threatened by the words that I drop and prefer me to flop I’m like a horrorcore horror flick too lurky to watch No concern for the cops, This is that Suburbian Bop (Verse 3) Yo, I see you followers are one in the same And insult what they can’t do as if there’s something to gain You suckers are lame, couldn’t last on this rugged terrain Of suffering, pain, the struggle to discover your lane So I walk with a pivot like I’m armed to the T Rockin’ a hoody, army fatigued but I’m hardly fatigued My artistry bleeds, through the temples of God’s church Sociopath rappers cross dressing like Bob Durst Mixing flow with skills while you’re sniffin’ coke and pills Booze and overkill, homie you are not the dopest, Chiillll! The rhymin’ onslaughter, the last of the vinyl authors The passionate Martyr giving it all I got to offer From the moment awake I’m racing the clock Whether late or I’m not, tryna seize the day on the spot After blazin’ the pot, write a verse worthy to jot To rehearse for my block, This is that Suburbian Bop

Nowhere Fast (Lyrics) (Verse 1) Yo I awake as the sun rays flood through the house A wide spread array of natural shapes, colors, and sounds Walk out with a smile and a blunt in my mouth But all I see are heads down, self struggle and frowns It’s bugging me out how desperately humans exist Just to be able to live and pay rent for the crib It’s so stressful, tryna keep some food in the fridge Spending more time at work then they do with their kids This system is rigged, as they profit while we can’t afford Economize the land galore, monopolizing chains and stores Demands ignored to the knowledge that we came across Billions of dollars every hour being gained and lost So flame the torch till your Newport’s hittin’ And watch weeks fly quicker than a New York minute Fast living’s the motto with cash, women, and bottles Scamming each other allowing classism to follow (Chorus) Like Slow Down! What’s the hurry for you to go there? Seems like everyone’s in a rush to get nowhere Can’t spare a second for no one, you’re on your own here Unless it’s in texts and instant messages our phones share But me? I don’t give a fuck, I got no cares Living off-line, outside in the cold air Rather that than have to go get cash Just to get trashed and crash, headed Nowhere Fast (Verse 2) I rhyme to rhythms to escape through my subconscious living Cause out of options they’re giving nothing has got my interest From Politicians, to glocks and bitches, to stocks and business Most of us fit the basic descriptions of the common victims Overworked and underpaid, Go in early come home late Kids are hungry no one ate, fix up something for a plate Tuck your shirt in, go and shave, no more cursing, go behave Prove you’re worthy of your wage, not a person, you’re a slave Monopolized and monetized for your pockets pride You either prophesize or increase your profit size Apologized for the fact that I won’t compromise Blunted writing rhymes after hours at my 9 to 5 Economized these dummies because we’ve failed them So hurry up and spend all your money before the sale’s done We pay inflation, we pay the nation, we pay as patients Pay for transportation, entertainment, and our education (Chorus) Like Slow Down! What’s the hurry for you to go there? Seems like everyone’s in a rush to get nowhere Can’t spare a second for no one, you’re on your own here Unless it’s in texts and instant messages our phones share But me? I don’t give a fuck, I got no cares Living off-line, outside in the cold air Rather that than have to go get cash Just to get trashed and crash, headed Nowhere Fast (Verse 3) So act now before your dreams get crushed Ain’t no replays, you only living each day once Gravity rotates to levitate our galaxy Resonate our planet’s needs and regulate it’s travel speed Educate mortality, legislate legality Elevated mentalities use entertainment valuably Delegate fatalities then celebrate the casualties Seeing through the lies of this cellophane reality A hell of an analogy, words are displayed carefully In and out of dimensions searching for transparency Herb therapy, I’m passed needy and desperate Can’t even keep up with insurance, gas, weed, and electric Infrequently rested, feet are sore, calloced, and cracked And bound to collapse from mastering this balancing act Cause after they tax I’m barely making $80 off a day shift Then by the time I get to deposit it, Gotta pay shit (Chorus) Like Slow Down! What’s the hurry for you to go there? Seems like everyone’s in a rush to get nowhere Can’t spare a second for no one, you’re on your own here Unless it’s in texts and instant messages our phones share But me? I don’t give a fuck, I got no cares Living off-line, outside in the cold air Rather that than have to go get cash Just to get trashed and crash, headed Nowhere Fast

(Verse 1) Overnight shift, back’s getting quite stiff 12 hours standing day dreamin’ bout the mic grip Might flip out on a customer with a bitch slap Eavesdropping stalling by the water cooler chit chat Forced laughs, stupid jokes, poorly acted movie quotes Anything to serve as a distraction cause we’re losing hope Same radio playlist on repeat Thanksgiving break flew by, Christmas vacation was brief Feels like I never left this delusional time warp Deja Vu’s all I’m finding it’s confusing my mind more As most employees grow emotionally cold And could care less if a product’s getting stolen or sold So I gotta take a break cause I’m in need of it heavy Only 10 minutes to go, can feel the freedom already So I grab the paper, sign my name in haste and aggressive nature I’m leaving dead on the dot and never a second later (Chorus) I live a double life with Part-Time Jobs Like the second my shift ends, my real life starts So I put in my hours first, then I get to pen a verse Once I get outta work, then it’s time to get to work I live a double life with Part-Time Jobs It’s like the second my shift ends, my real life starts So I put in my hours first, then I get to pen a verse Once I get outta work, then it’s time to get to work (Verse 2) Ayo it’s lunch break, 30 minutes off the time card Time starts, power walk in-between and behind cars Mind sparks lines from a verse as I rhyme bars Find car, engine starts, revving tryna drive parked Overanxious for the fatty that’s waiting Acting impatient for a drag man I can practically taste it So for now I got this dutch I’m bout to gut for my therapy Pack the Bresey with some Sheesh and rip the blunt while it’s cherry Observant and very conservative puffin’ the ganj' Below par roller, I ain’t got the touch to refine So I’m conscious of all of the falling nug out the side Scanning the floor for any remanence of crumbs I can find Searching for a lighter and that’s when I stumble upon A Matty Beats instrumental CD then I vibe Eager to rhyme, blasting beats leaning back in my ride As Zoo hops in with some matches from the passenger’s side (Chorus) I live a double life with Part-Time Jobs It’s like the second my shift ends, my real life starts So I put in my hours first, then I get to pen a verse Once I get outta work, then it’s time to get to work I live a double life with Part-Time Jobs It’s like the second my shift ends, my real life starts So I put in my hours first, then I get to pen a verse Once I get outta work, then it’s time to get to work (Zoo’s Verse) Sittin’ leaned back, shotty in the Cadillac Rat-a-tat-Tat on the dash with a Dutch Master pack On my lap, nugs of kush broken up on Illmatic Throw it all in the dutch with the precision of Greg Maddox Smokin’ that stash that I hid in my addict Now I’m on a magic carpet ride with Aladdin and Static Left depression and stress on the ground right next to dramatics There is no room for reality in scenes so cinematic Inhale the medicinal, all plants are Biblical If God created weed how does smoking make me a criminal? It doesn’t make much sense to live check to check Only to be a broke emotional wreck that’s in debt Jay-Z said a 9 to 5 is how to survive Me? I’m not tryna survive, I’m striving to thrive While I’m on this Earth and still alive I’m grind till the exact second that the reaper arrives (Chorus) I live a double life with Part-Time Jobs It’s like the second my shift ends, my real life starts So I put in my hours first, then I get to pen a verse Once I get outta work, then it’s time to get to work I live a double life with Part-Time Jobs It’s like the second my shift ends, my real life starts So I put in my hours first, then I get to pen a verse Once I get outta work, then it’s time to get to work

Out Of My Head (Lyrics) (Verse 1) I’m tryna figure out something I could spit about Slumped up on this shitty couch, Shoulda took a different route Thought I had a plan, thought I had it figured out Went and bought a ticket out, now you’re all I think about And I can’t help but to feel lonely like I’m missing out Why am I holding onto hope when I’m so filled with doubt Vented and left, but wasn’t eager to go Just left you the distance you needed to grieve and to cope When I’m speaking I’m only teaching to reach and to grow Like the seeds that sprout into leaves on the trees as they blow The only reason that I was leaving was beefing with bros So when I’m sleeping, I’m only dreaming of keeping you close Yo, took for granted hands, feet, and your toes Lips, hair, deep stare, cheeks sweet as a rose Feeling hopeless and alone without a Queen at my post But never noticed until the moments I needed you most (Chorus) My heart’s broken, I’m over the edge Arms open, approaching too close to the ledge It’s been 2 weeks since I got outta bed Without a headful of regrets and better off dead So down, mad sad, and upset Slowed down heart rate pounding outta my chest It’s been 1 month since I got outta bed Without your face on my mind, can’t get you Outta My Head Damn (Verse 2) 1st date we related in the worst ways 2nd date started craving your preferred taste 3rd base from depression to a hurt phase Now reminded why I stopped dating in the first place Concerned face, nerves ache, but it’s hard to tell The type of shit to make you park the ride and spark a L Panic attacks from the past when I felt your grasp Been to hell and back since detached from my better half Replaying conversations that we had DJin’, weed blazin’, complications made you mad Retracing confrontations and it’s sad Relaying constellation observations in my pad Memorable ecstasy, exceptional complexity And I can feel you texting me through telephone telepathy Could be a fling, could be the one and I need a ring To be my Queen, it’s a Leo thing to be a King (Chorus) My heart’s broken, I’m over the edge Arms open, approaching too close to the ledge It’s been 2 weeks since I got outta bed Without a headful of regrets and better off dead So down, mad sad, and upset Slowed down heart rate pounding outta my chest It’s been 1 month since I got outta bed Without your face on my mind, can’t get you Outta My Head Damn (Verse 3) From stressful to depressed and regretful A headful of dreadful resentful potential Essential to your scent cause it’s special Had sex but never made love until I met you A modest Goddess so at first it was embarrassing Cause I was honestly inexperienced in comparison The day to day shit had faded and fell Now I’m missing my favorite fragrance and the way that you smell Cause when you left it felt like the whole galaxy shifts Balancing your Geminorum personality split It’s like one of you likes me the other just fights me Either comforting me nicely or stubborn despite me But both excite me you’re double the person Tryna keep my mind occupied but nothing is working I’ve been changing my lifestyle conforming for you Now I’m feeling the way you do it’s like I’m torn into two (Chorus) My heart’s broken, I’m over the edge Arms open, approaching too close to the ledge It’s been 2 weeks since I got outta bed Without a headful of regrets and better off dead So down, mad sad, and upset Slowed down heart rate pounding outta my chest It’s been 1 month since I got outta bed Without your face on my mind, can’t get you Outta My Head Damn

Self Destruct (Lyrics) (Verse 1) We’re either cancerous fiends on our hands and our knees Or beautiful spiritual beings baring damaged esteem Hard for either, but it’s better to be bandaged than bleed Realistically you’re hoping that it lands in between The standards extreme, hand you cream then banish your dreams Which leads to gambling G’s over fantasy leagues I’m just different, jotting writtens, puffin’ cannabis leaves I get lifted, non-existent man I can’t even breathe My stamina’s weak, fighting through the pressures of this path Still tryna make up for my lack of efforts in the past Progression’s within grasp if you lend it a hand Pull you out of depression from the cement where you stand Damn, start achieving plans, can’t resort to seeking scams Hard to be a man when you can’t afford to feed the fam Bad decisions got my ass kicked, I’m tax ridden It’s sad living in this cash driven class system (Chorus) The way I see it now we all just tryna find a purpose Whether it’s in pain prescriptions or within Bible verses Learn to love and let go, let the silence surface Before your time emerges and reaches its final verdicts Cause I remember once everybody held your trust You cried wolf too many times and now you pressed your luck It’s not that I’m calling you out, it’s cause you’ve dealt with drugs And cause I love you too much to watch you just Self Destruct (Verse 2) Our adolescence sets in deep within a person’s conscious A lack of depth perception dealing with the surface dramas I’m out of breath in seconds really it’s a working progress Get out your best intentions before they pull these curtains on us Swallowing kegs of beer instead of facing fears Cheeks have tasted tears homie you’ve already wasted years You’re in denial and erratic in nature All those perks, wax, and oil rigs are addict behavior You’re transparent, I can see it, you’re as high as kites Relying on a vice, man you can’t keep hiding from your life The self righteous don’t require any help Sense of self entitlement and think so highly of themselves Facing pressures from all the stresses of new research But still seem to think that they’re the center of the Universe Spewing words hurtfully and not using their inner voice Be humble with a winners poise, cause their is a choice (Chorus) The way I see it now we all just tryna find a purpose Whether it’s in pain prescriptions or within Bible verses Learn to love and let go, let the silence surface Before your time emerges and reaches its final verdicts Cause I remember once everybody held your trust You cried wolf too many times and now you pressed your luck It’s not that I’m calling you out, it’s cause you’ve dealt with drugs And cause I love you too much to watch you just Self Destruct (Verse 3) You’ve been hooked on them shits ever since your collar broke Oh let me guess you’re out of pills so now you gotta go I’ve watched you lose your prominence and not acknowledge growth Watched the perks shatter more confidence than a college coach Control your life, don’t gamble it on the rollin’ dice Do what the fuck you know is right, not what you’re told is right Stubborn humans always suffering illusion They could dunk up on a hoop but couldn’t jump to a conclusion Wealth deception, smelled the scent and then they felt the tension Struggled with their self obsession, fell in love with their reflection Ain’t closer to goals when you overindulge Still blowing coke up in their nose, throwing snow in the slopes Live a little bit, passive, inconsiderate Quit acting like you’re innocent, I’m asking cause I give a shit And I’ll admit that I’m a hypocrite But at least I’m man enough to self correct myself and stick to it (Chorus) The way I see it now we all just tryna find a purpose Whether it’s in pain prescriptions or within Bible verses Learn to love and let go, let the silence surface Before your time emerges and reaches its final verdicts Cause I remember once everybody held your trust You cried wolf too many times and now you pressed your luck It’s not that I’m calling you out, it’s cause you’ve dealt with drugs And cause I love you too much to watch you just Self Destruct

Luck Pushers (Lyrics) (Chorus) Luck Pushers who came up out of the muck with ya Luck Pushers who played in the rain and mud with ya Luck Pushers who drank and drive in the truck with ya Luck Pushers who got faded and did drugs with ya Luck Pushers who you’ve hated but have love for ya Luck Pushers who you’d consider your brother could Fall victim to overdoses on substances Luck Pushers who take it too far a fuck with ya Luck Pushers who played in the rain and mud with ya Luck Pushers who got faded and did drugs with ya Luck Pushers who you’ve hated but have love for ya Luck Pushers who take it too far and fuck with ya (Verse) So I’m a take what’s mine in hopes that God has something for me Instead of wasting time tryna top each others stories We’ve been designed to resign instead of discover glory So use your eyes and your mind whenever you’re stuck in morning I’m speaking from experience not phony observations Consider this the hearing of my holy proclamation Most are concentrated on their goals and occupations Realization of your destiny’s the only obligation You gotta optimize your faith within and take control You gotta occupy that space within your vacant soul Start to breathe the air, inhaling through your nose and mental Some fear to fail, others fear their own potential Make an offer when nearing your lungs final chapter Fate is altered once fear becomes a deciding factor So don’t wait to alleviate the tension Show appreciation and appreciate the present Live in the moment but not to the point of foolish acts Like making promises offering things that you don’t have Find your purpose, don’t be worthless with nervous emotions Find the ability to read ones own personal omens Never be negative and seek a curse amongst pearls Cause most only live to see the worst of both worlds So put aside all the constraints on the nouns an verbs There’s a way of understanding language without words Like how a dog could be treated as a pal How he could sense evil when a heathen is around He knew that you were high, he could see it from a mile Cause you’re the only guy he’s ever greeted with a growl I’m crying inside, cause you’re dying for my help As you smile in denial cause you’re lying to yourself Reacting defensively and get nervous when I ask Mistaking genuine concern as personal attacks cause Traveling the path of denial’s a lonely road Despising those who are only tryna support you most Self absorbed and unaware of your vanity A scare to your friends and unfair to your family Unable to recognize all the similar traits Lifeless eyes of a stranger on a familiar face Cause I’ve seen the recipe and it equates to death It hurts cause in my mind you were the coolest kid I ever met I know you’re tired of hearing and conversing about it I know that you probably feel like you’re worthless without it Cause you gave up on your dreams and your purpose was doubted So just allow some time for your thoughts to surface, they’re crowded Never facing necessary defeats on the battle scene Only chasing temporary relief from reality Cause besides your addictive, aggressive behavior All your time and attention’s invested in strangers Cause it’s easy to do drugs, it’s easy to get high It ain’t easy to love, ain’t easy to get by I know you’re down and it hurt when she left But since then the only girl you’ve been flirting with is death But maybe it’s not you, society’s to blame For glorifying drug use, sobriety is lame So what to do, with your dysfunctional drugs and booze Can’t make excuses because ultimately it’s up to you But help will come in a spirit or an omen God travels in the form of good ideas and emotions Enjoy the journey of this miracle of life Cause each hour of each day’s part of the good fight (Chorus) Luck Pushers who played in the rain and mud with ya Luck Pushers who got faded and did drugs with ya Luck Pushers who you’ve hated but have love for ya Luck Pushers who take it too far and fuck with ya

Lost On The River (Time Flies) (Verse 1) She wore Prada, product of a divorced Father So more drama followed her from the caused karma A lack of gratitude, her views are rather fearless An attitude as rude and unenthused as her appearance She lost her touch and her love for the gift of dance She lost her lust for the rush and the risk of chance Expressing an unnatural lack of concern As a mask that she wore to hide her passion that burns It’s in those moments where hope is shown through our insecureness We both stoners, both loners and introverted Each left with their own thoughts and something in common Enjoying each others company in comfortable silence (Chorus) They say Time Flies by when you’re having fun I say Time Flies by when you’re high and drunk She says Time Flies by when you have a son And look back at all the dreams that didn’t become They say Time Flies by when you’re having fun I say Time Flies by when you rhyme to drums She says Time Flies by when you marry young And look back at all the dreams that couldn't become (Verse 2) Became a mommy at 19 on the college scene But wore a body of picture perfect photography Forced to grow quick and change up the whole script Over all the nonsense, games, and the bullshit Uninvolved drunk Father with no support Forced to work much harder for less rewards No teen can prepare for that kind of change Still waiting on that day to catch her lucky break Living suspenseless, in need of attention Sexually frustrated social media skeptic Yearning for comfort through cigarette health threats Lost faith in others but hasn’t given up on herself yet (Chorus) They say Time Flies by when you’re having fun I say Time Flies by when you’re high and drunk She says Time Flies by when you have a son And look back at all the dreams that didn’t become They say Time Flies by when you’re having fun I say Time Flies by when you rhyme to drums She says Time Flies by when you marry young And look back at all the dreams that couldn't become (Verse 3) You’re as cold as a river that’s frozen You’re as cold as a blizzard in the winter when snowing With emotions kept hidden with persistent retreat Consistent defeat, frozen with life existing beneath Resisting release, keeping you from achieving success The more people you get to know, the more you see that you’re blessed And the more you see oppressed life with actual pain The more you realize the less right you have to complain It makes no sense to stay obsessed over money Knowing that everything eventually gets ended abruptly Both in pursuit of the truth to better the pain Attuned to similar views, but never the same (Chorus) They say Time Flies by when you’re having fun I say Time Flies by when you’re high and drunk She says Time Flies by when you have a son And look back at all the dreams that didn’t become They say Time Flies by when you’re having fun I say Time Flies by when you rhyme to drums She says Time Flies by when you marry young And look back at all the dreams that couldn't become

Shattered Mirrors (Lyrics) (Verse 1) See for yourself all your dreams on the shelf I’m eager to help to understand these feelings you felt When healing through hell with emotional dealings you’ve dealt Just gotta believe in yourself, all you need is your health But you’re nervous with agitation and yearning for validation Indecisive, unsure, and searching for affirmation And I’ll admit that I’m a Capricorn and I’m out of patience But I just want you to acknowledge all your Godly greatness Do what your passion is, the stuff that made you laugh as kids No point in being skinny if it’s fucking with your happiness Sensitive slightly, not to be taken lightly Cause I think it might be messing with your psyche You already know you’re gifted and your blessed But can always count on others to convince you that you’re less Refusing others help, place your health above your wealth I wanna love you but it’s hard cause you don’t love yourself (Chorus) Shatter All The Mirrors Baby Cause You Don’t Need Them Anymore If You Could Only See Your Beauty I Like You Just The Way You Are (Verse 2) So now you’re over stressing, too upset to show regression Do regret the spoken tension, take a sec and hold your breath in Sober sex with no protection, need a better coping method Alone with no reflection, focused on a hopeless ending Photo shopped false images of us Stop measuring your worth through the opinions of others But you managed to maintain till grass sprouted greener But carry the same pain as a black ballerina And it’s embarrassing how arrogant these parents get They swear and spit this careless shit that rarely should be said or did Genetically inherited the heritage her parents give Unfair comparisons to paler kids with fairer skin So why try to please a menacing a crooked judge Knowingly knowing that you’re never gonna be good enough By whose standards are you living by? You can’t be your own kind living life through your critics eyes (Chorus) Shatter All The Mirrors Baby Cause You Don’t Need Them Anymore If You Could Only See Your Beauty I Like You Just The Way You Are (Verse 3) Girl I’m so into you, quit acting like you’re miserable If only you thought of yourself the same way that I think of you If only you saw what I see every time I’m in sync with you Living in your pinnacle, your presence is a miracle Measure your worth by your blessings and burns The depths of your words in every single breath you exert Protect and preserve to ponder on these lessons you’ve learned Facing all of these stresses and different pressures from birth Perfectionist curse, she fathomed it, captured it then mastered it Her craftmanship’s immaculate, she’s admirate and passionate But yet she’s agitate, saddened and unimaginative Her confidence is whack and I’m attracted to her lack of it Listen I know it’s deep, it’s dark and the road is steep Your heart has a broken piece, a scar with an open crease So when you fall asleep to wake from provoking dreams You’ll change from woe is me, to see that whoa it’s me (Chorus) Shatter All The Mirrors Baby Cause You Don’t Need Them Anymore If You Could Only See Your Beauty I Like You Just The Way You Are

Loss (Lyrics) (Verse 1) I wake up at the crack of dawn, pet my dog and pack a bong Living life so nonchalant, carefree, relaxed, and calm Even though we’re living in a modern Babylon Filled with all the good intentioned thoughts we never act upon That’s when disaster comes, goose bumps with gasping lungs Tear ducts with rapid floods, dear ones that passed too young I wasn’t ready cause I need him too much He’s like a brother to me so that’s why I treat him as such This life’s a dead end with no definable answer My dog’s my best friend and now he’s dying of cancer I wanna speak my mind but I’m denying the chance to And every time I raise a question I’m reminded the answer Incurable, malignant, they say it’s genetic Splenic Hemangiosarcoma and they say that it’s spreading Watch him sleep up on the couch as I prayed for his presence Scared to leave his side now cause I’m afraid I’ll regret it (Chorus) So sudden and unexpected so what’s the cause? I need to lean on a shoulder I haven’t dealt with Loss I love my family and thankful for your help/support This is an unfamiliar pain I haven’t felt before You’re too fun to be sick, Now you’re gonna make me cry You’re too young to leave us, I don’t wanna say goodbye Where am I going? I don’t know what I’m doing I don’t know what I’m pursuing, I just know that I’m losing (Verse 2) God take, God give, God giveth the a quest To accept what can’t change one minute to the next I swear I’ll never forget that visit to the vet Living with regret after listening to what she said Sympathetically informed of the unfortunate lab tests Talking as if he was already gone in the past tense Trying not to cry as I’m catching to gasp breaths Just at the thought of him passing, these might be his last steps Sorry optimism I got nothing left to say to you Since he’s struggling, my suffering’s interchangeable I feel like giving up, I’ll recover when I’m able to Like how are you supposed to fill the void of irreplaceable? This emptiness’ll take some time to get used to But glad I got you in that last vid up on Youtube Can’t make a poem that’ll help cope when I lose you I feel alone this is a new low that I’ve stooped too (Chorus) So sudden and unexpected so what’s the cause? I need to lean on a shoulder I haven’t dealt with Loss I love my family and thankful for your help/support This is an unfamiliar pain I haven’t felt before You’re too fun to be sick, Now you’re gonna make me cry You’re too young to leave us, I don’t wanna say goodbye Where am I going? I don’t know what I’m doing I don’t know what I’m pursuing, I just know that I’m losing (Verse 3) Good intentions arisen led to a dreadful decision Three consecutive visits to get a second opinion False hope that was given to take pressures off our minds For more time before your inevitable demise Spending your last days running to lick Kristen Tail wagging, tongue flapping, bucket list living Table food feeding with my phone on silent Now it’s chicken and steak season on the sirloin diet Pushed our luck, punctured blood, cancer cellular bleeding Heart and lungs giving up with irregular breathing So we sat starred, sad scared, all at his presence As we all shared a connection of a common affection Need a way to buy time, ease the pain in my mind Seasons change, time flies, wish he gave 9 lives Our best friend you’ll in our hearts live forever Cause you brought us all together, now we’re stronger than ever (Chorus) So sudden and unexpected to see you gone I need to be a supportive shoulder to lean upon I love my family and friends and I’m thankful for you all You kept me strong and helped me gain when I dealt with Loss So Rest In Peace to the deceased up on the other side The only thing that’s guaranteed is that we all gon’ die To heaven I’m going, I know what I’m doing Now I know what I’m pursuing cause I know that we’re losing

Until Now (Lyrics) (Verse 1) Until Now, I probably never was a sick spitter Never had the discipline to live up to my big sisters Until Now, I probably never saw the big picture Too closed minded and stubborn to look at things different Until Now, I probably never had the work ethic Never truly understood the meaning of the word desperate Never pushed myself, thriving off my worst efforts Never spilled my guts into everyone of my verse methods Until Now, I was waiting for handouts Growing impatient because the plan never panned out Until Now, I was waiting to be saved Waiting for change and prayed, but the freedom never came Until Now, I’ve been selfish and enraged Stuck in place from the restraints of self-inflicted chains Until Now, I wrote casually on the page Passively rapped with the mentality of a slave (Chorus) Until Now, I’ve been wasting my time Waiting for a handout and couldn’t make up my mind Until Now, I sat around waiting for help Frustrated feeling down from the pain I’ve been dealt Until Now, I’ve been afraid to say what I felt Believing everybody else short changing myself Until Now, I never took a chance or a stand And was ashamed of being true to the man that I am (Verse 2) Until Now, I’ve been nothing but a let down Till I met Matty Beats and reinvented the best sound Until Now, I’ve been self absorbed with it’s repercussions Was never interested or concerned with the needs of others Until Now, I’ve been too timid/affraid To take risks from personal relations to the stage Until Now, I’ve been a victim of deception Unable to find truths to pick the right direction Until Now, I’ve been misguided and ill-informed Never had the wisdom I needed to go against the norm Until Now, I’ve been nothing but dishonest Nothing but dismissive from dubs and piff bong rips Until Now, I’ve been a short sighted, poor spender Frustrated spittin’ long verses with short temper Until Now, I’ve been ignorant Uninterested in anyone or anything and didn’t give a shit (Chorus) Until Now, I’ve been wasting my time Waiting for a handout and couldn’t make up my mind Until Now, I sat around waiting for help Frustrated feeling down from the pain I’ve been dealt Until Now, I’ve been afraid to say what I felt Believing everybody else short changing myself Until Now, I never took a chance or a stand And was ashamed of being true to the man that I am (Verse 3) Until Now, I’ve been living with my head down Thinking it wouldn’t make a difference if I was dead now Until Now, I took for granted all my Mom’s support Never was content with what I had and always wanted more Until Now, I’ve been a mad little asshole Pessimistic mind with a glass less than half full Until Now, I’ve been uncertain and doubtful Of the potential that one person can amount to Until Now, I’ve been out of time in the final seconds Outspoken, out of line, and unapologetic Until Now, I used to give myself a lot of credit Thought I was the best and got defensive when I got rejected Until Now, I never answered to the urgency And overindulged in addiction out of insecurity Until Now, I’ve collapsed in defeat Gave up on my dreams and thought it wouldn’t happen to me (Chorus) Until Now, I’ve been wasting my time Waiting for a handout and couldn’t make up my mind Until Now, I sat around waiting for help Frustrated feeling down from the pain I’ve been dealt Until Now, I’ve been afraid to say what I felt Believing everybody else short changing myself Until Now, I never took a chance or a stand And was ashamed of being true to the man that I am Until Now

Seen Enough (Lyrics) (Featuring Zoo) (Verse 1) Yo I’m an overwhelmed spirit, can this stress be prevented? I’m impressively committed, I’m a skeptic, a cynic I’m indefinitely gifted facing pressure from critics And maybe I’m twisted, but it feels like the lesson’s been scripted It’s wicked, but at least we’re still here in the present tense To witness the deaths of our peers who were heaven sent But never wept because fear is irrelevant And there’s a fine line between theory and evidence Tax invasion dollars from assassination plotters Given debt to go to college, leaving whistle blowers silenced Maybe I’m paranoid and weeded up Maybe I’ve seen too many videos or maybe you ain’t Seen Enough (Chorus) Maybe I’m high, but I swear I know It feels like I’m being watched everywhere I go You can take my ride, go and take my doe You can take my pride, but just spare my soul Now maybe I’m high, but I swear I know It feels like I’m being watched everywhere I go Maybe I’m paranoid and weeded up Maybe I’ve seen too many videos or maybe you ain’t Seen Enough (Verse 2) I’m as empty as a widow with a bottle of riddle I may look full on the outer, but I’m hollow in the middle My mind is a window overlooking homes of oppression Whose only objection is paying rent in hopes of progression For only a second, slaving at a low wage profession So the only way to obtain is through stolen possessions I’m lonely and skeptic, aware and depressed from reality Watching followers blindly become obsessed with a fallacy I’ve seen it all through the smoke on my roach clips Coping with rolled spliffs while exposing these hoaxes Low and behold it’s a show of hypnosis Cops with uncontrolled emotions unloading their holsters The news is bogus, just cultural coldness Recruiting soldiers with posers on promotional posters Trained murderers to fight against the “Sand People” Or whichever group our government leads to perceive as evil (Chorus) Maybe I’m high, but I swear I know It feels like I’m being watched everywhere I go You can take my ride, go and take my doe You can take my pride, but just spare my soul Now maybe I’m high, but I swear I know It feels like I’m being watched everywhere I go Maybe I’m paranoid and weeded up Maybe I’ve seen too many videos or maybe you ain’t Seen Enough (Zoo’s Verse) Maybe I’m a paranoid lunatic, addiction at the root of it Conspiracy theorist spewing misconstrued lyrics To any and everyone who will hear it I can’t hold back the fear it festers in the mind and spirit What’s gonna happen when water is sold like oil? Will you still make jokes about hats made out of tinfoil? Probably, you think there’s no such thing as Global Warming Leading Scientists lied when they gave their global warning Terrorism is the new Communism Manufactured fear just to con your prism An enemy of the state who’s never committed a violent crime If I have to steal the truth, I will cause it’s rightfully mine I don’t see the point in all your useless schematics Students are getting slaughtered by rifles that are fully automatic We’re taught that America was built by Revolution And humans were created by Scientific Evolution One’s true and one’s up for debate But if you argue with those in control you’ll be burned at the stake I believe in Spirituality, a World Religion Psychedelic tools as the key to unlock the system A dose to leave you with a refreshed sense of perception Hope to breathe and dream of content conception I wonder if the Oracle would tell me to take this? Or if I live die while I’m stuck in the Matrix An empty soul, and empty heart, and empty eyes Or an enlightened being that isn’t afraid to die

Prove What? (Verse 1) Yo whatcha tryna prove? It’s your life you gotta choose Stubborn from the pot and booze, nothing but a lot to lose Just drugs and vodka, shrooms, and 40’s with me As I bop threw the Bronx bummy with a Fordham degree And I blamed it on my Father’s strictness, made me wanna fight and shout Most of the restrictions that he gave me he was right about Didn’t have the slightest doubt, gave it in the right amount For your mind to sprout, now you got something to write about Mood’s right as you lose sight of what you’re fighting for Moon light on a gloom night inside the psychic ward Countless arguments defending marijuana Constant quarrels for the tensions I’ve regretted with my Father Rejected all the drama for the karma that I stepped into So self centered, all they wanted was the best for you I’m sorry for all the pain and anger I made resurface I’m sorry for always blaming you for the way this world is (Chorus) We get away with it at first and then we lose luck In such a rush to get older until we grew up So stubborn with booze, blunts, like school sucks So selfish and spiteful, just to Prove What? Lost innocence, giving in to do drugs And I would like to recall it, but now I’m too drunk So stubborn with booze, blunts, like school sucks So selfish and spiteful, just to Prove What? (Verse 2) The same history repeats and it hurts to see Always being the last to show up and the first to leave Hardly speak, so discrete, and my words are brief Which is equivalent to the burn of 3rd degree The hurt is deep till your Mother’s too concerned to sleep Probably spoke more words to beats than I’ve conversed with her for weeks Pot embracing with the blunts that I was facing Said I puffed in moderation, but had other obligations Like wondering where the days went of playing all of these different games As we watched my past love for baseball precipitate Rapped out of hatred, back tracked to the basement Pants sag way passed my half assed explanations The same response of unforgivable tarnishment Getting cornered in the middle of un-winnable arguments Cause I couldn’t admit to losing a fight Not knowing all along that I was only proving you right (Chorus) We get away with it at first and then we lose luck In such a rush to get older until we grew up So stubborn with booze, blunts, like school sucks So selfish and spiteful, just to Prove What? Lost innocence, giving in to do drugs And I would like to recall it, but now I’m too drunk So stubborn with booze, blunts, like school sucks So selfish and spiteful, just to Prove What? (Verse 3) Writing rhymes in high amounts, flow created by my fate Buying pot up by the ounce, blazed away to my escape I’m admired by the crowd, overrated by mistake I’m inspired by the doubt, motivated by the hate And I’m still reserved, still yearning for a turn Still burning what I’ve earned, still learning how to learn Still tryna use my voice and not my hands Still tryna live by choice and not by chance Damn, Cause now I’m grown and I’m missing all the little stuff All about your kids, everything you did, you did for us I couldn’t see it, was too busy and tardy Severely mocking authority, I’m sincerely sorry Cause I was so sinister, regrets of using words dissing We’re so similar, but yet we see the world different So annoyed, filled the void with some Buddha joints Still in debt and unemployed, guess I really proved my point (Chorus) We get away with it at first and then we lose luck In such a rush to get older until we grew up So stubborn with booze, blunts, like school sucks So selfish and spiteful, just to Prove What? Lost innocence, giving in to do drugs And I would like to recall it, but now I’m too drunk So stubborn with booze, blunts, like school sucks So selfish and spiteful, just to Prove What?

Lifescape (Lyrics) (Featuring Zoo) (Zoo’s Verse) As we proceed to paint the landscapes of our lives Discussing the future: homes, jobs, and wives It gets to be overwhelming at times To the point that I need to escape through my rhymes Developing a therapeutic rhythm one line at a time Realizing that a life of crime is not meant to be mine Re-evaluating past situations Disconnecting communications with old relations Shortcuts only lead to dead ends No matter how many times you attempt to make amends Weak handshakes a crooked smiles don’t equate to friends My 3rd eye’s open, I need to control the lens Insecurities lead to irrational behaviors We transcend through fake love and fake favors I need to practice exactly what I preach Till then my life goals will remain out of reach (Chorus) If only I could be a man with some armor Without a purple heart,uniform standing in honor Then I would only wish to have a plan for my Daughter Be one quarter of my Mom and half the man as my Father Then I would be alright Then I would be alright (Static’s Verse) Hopefully I can be the light bearer the prophecy Demons confiding with me, constricting and confining me Poems are positively the motto and philosophy Now social anxiety’s got me scared to face sobriety Entirely, buying weed, pot’s got me faded bro Sparking up the ganja leave, I stopped, dropped, and made it roll Being peaceful bumpin’ Block Island Radio But Good vs. Evil’s got a lopsided ratio I drop gems from my pot filled tonsils A fogged up lens and some snot filled nostrils The real world ain’t a literal prison The truth is hidden, you just gotta use peripheral vision Make a simple decision to stop self destruction Wealth reduction, poor health, felt disgusting Self consumption, stress from complex discussions Hate helps when the criticism’s held constructive (Chorus) If only I could be a man with some honor Without a purple heart uniform standing in armor Then I would only wish to have a plan for my Daughter Be one quarter of my Mom and half the man as my Father Then I would be alright Then I would be alright

Never Felt Your Pain (Outro) (Lyrics) (Verse) You’re just 1 person out of 7 billion Trapped inside this spinning Earth divided by meridians On 1 of 8 planets circling an oval distance In 1 of 100 other billion solar systems In 1 of 100 other billion galaxies With intricate formalities of infinite mortality So really we’re just all a microscopic increment Which could make humans feel enormously insignificant But we’re all connected through the feelings that we’ve felt You are a part of the Universe experiencing itself And Yes! You’re all blessed by the Sun that’s above you Give love and are depended on by others that love you But we’re all different, original, non-generic’s made of Our own fingerprints and own unique genetic make up So better wake up and embrace your inner superstar Stuck between who we really are and who we think we are With no regrets is how you should go ahead and act If you don’t show respect, how do you expect to get it back? You’re fortunate just incase it hasn’t occurred to you There’s millions of others on this Earth that got it worse than you We’re all stressed, all pressed for time God bless our quest, heart, flesh, and mind Conquest divine, with a pad and a pen Chasing passion’s like tryna light up a match in the wind I’ve been rhyming for my peers, I’ve been conquering these fears I’ve been jotting through these tears, I’ve been plotting this for years But I’ve lost my essence through faking friendships with false intentions I’m caught defenseless and facing pressures in all directions Even considered using rosary beads The harder you work towards something, the closer it seems Approaching my dreams, although they say that dreaming big’s too much to wish But we don’t even know how we exist, so what’s the risk From landscaping, to care taking, I stare gazing My hair’s greying from making minimum bare waging And you should never set a limit to reach to And I know they’re gonna laugh because they did it to me too Give it what you’ve earned and your confidence thrives I don’t fit in with the world cause it contradicts God Too often our days spent, lost in the Matrix Drawn to temptations until we’ve exhausted our patience Cause life is like an old sketchy wooden roller coaster At any given moment a bolt could blow and you know it’s over So live proud, take a vow, and keep your love intact Chase your dreams down now and bow before it comes to that We all go at our own pace when no one knows it Whether it’s heartache, old age, or overdoses We’re all losing family members and friends We’re all humans, all bruising, till these memories end But I doubt that you can just forget them by tomorrow night Learn to love in loss cause death is a big part of life They’re passed away but standing next to your vision Through the application of your ancestral wisdom To my grandfather Sam, you were known as the best Here’s a toast of a Manhattan Special Soda Express A ghost in the flesh, your genetics flow through my chest I’m never hopeless and stressed cause I know that I’m blessed I’m a carry on tradition as a long forgotten favor For the Martin, Martyr saviors They were onto something greater Cause you gotta fight for what nobody offers Truth is hidden within comedians, poets, and authors So that’s why I spit to beats, write rhymes and grid my teeth Pissed but I ain’t picking beef, I’m only dissing disbelief Pursue the happiness from birth you’ve inherited I’m just here to try and offer the alternative narrative (Outro) Cause, you’ve been in love? I Never Felt Your Pain If you’ve been heavy into drugs, I Never Felt Your Pain You lost your will? I Never Felt Your Pain If you’ve been terminally ill, I Never Felt Your Pain You’re in denial? I Never Felt Your Pain You lost a parent or a child, I Never Felt Your Pain You’re forcing smiles? I Never Felt Your Pain Put on your shoes and walked for miles, but Never Felt Your Pain
