She was lying on the floor and counting stretch marks
She hadn't been a virgin and he hadn't been a god
So she named the baby Elvis
To make up for the royalty he lacked
And from then on it was turpentine and patches
From then on it was cold Campbell's from the can
And they were just two jerks playing with matches
'Cause that's all they knew how to play
And it was raining cats and dogs outside of her window
And she knew they were destined to become sacred road kill on the way
And she was listening to the sound of heavens shaking
Thinking about puddles and, puddles and mistakes
'Cause it's been turpentine and patches
It's been cold, cold Campbell's from the can
They were just two jerks playing with matches
'Cause that's all they knew how to play
When they knew how to play
Elvis never could carry a tune
She thought about this irony as she stared back at the moon
She was tracing the years with her fingers on her skin
Saying why don't I begin again
With turpentine and patches
With cold, cold Campbell's from the can
After all I'm still a jerk playing with matches
It's just that he's not around to play along, yeah
I'm still an asshole playing with candles
Blowing out wishes, blowing out dreams
Just sitting here and trying to decipher what
What's written in Braille upon my skin, oh yeah
On this skin
She was lying on the floor and counting stretch
She was lying on the floor and counting stretch
Fingertips are all I have
(Have you heard the sea?)
The water's edge is all I have
(Have you heard it breathe?)
An endless sigh I cannot hear
(Here I cease to run)
Arid mouth so hard to speak
(Street cat got my tongue)
Describe to me how I look
(Look what I've become)
Describe to me how I look
I'm not scared of dying
I'm not scared of death
I'll keep a smile 'til my last breath
I've loved 'til I've lost
I've lived how I felt
One day I may find peace within myself
Boyish grin, it bears me well
(Where can I begin?)
Don't forget I'm still around
(How the wind feels free)
Behind the smile I fade away
(The wayward days are gone)
I love this power, I love this power
I love this power that's crushed so easily
I love this power
I'm not scared of dying
I'm not scared of death
I'll keep a smile 'til my last breath
I've loved 'til I've lost
I've lived how I felt
One day I may find peace within myself
I wanna take all the sadness
Of the world from your shoulders
I wanna take all the sadness
Of the world from your shoulders
There are none so blind as those who refuse to see.
Your hardened heart,
Your prideful thoughts,
Your selfish life,
Gouged out your eyes.
Removing you is something I can't explain
Mmmm
And it ain't even a question of what's my name
Girl ah
So all the things that she doubted
Baby I
I'm so willing to talk about it
Baby I
I know it seems like
I ain't the love type
That can love right
Baby I love right
Mmm baby you know what you want
In a relationship
It's hard to desert it cause you can fall in
So all you do is rely on your silence
It's so hard to know because...
The only way to see things is to feel
As if I was writing you in Braille
The only way to know is holding you
Who could ever love you like I do
It's better to believe when you can touch
Sometimes the words is just too much
But everybody needs something that they can feel
So if you can't see it
Baby I put it in Braille
Hey hey, in Braille
Hey hey, in Braille
Hey hey
So you'll see it baby I put it in Braille
Hey hey, in Braille
Hey hey, in Braille
Hey hey
So you'll know
I've given you everything you could ever ask, oh
Plenty to do [?]
Plus some real good time
Who could ever ask for more?
But you think that I am
Pushing you away
When I'm really tryna
Push you to stay
There's only 24 hours in a day
And I was nearly all with you
Mmm baby you know what you want
In a relationship
It's hard to desert it cause you can fall in
So all you do is rely on your silence
It's so hard to know because...
The only way to see things is to feel
As if I was writing you in Braille
The only way to know is holding you
Who could ever love you like I do
It's better to believe when you can touch
Sometimes the words is just too much
But everybody needs something that they can feel
So if you can't see it
Baby I put it in Braille
Hey hey, in Braille
Hey hey, in Braille
Hey hey
So you'll see it baby I put it in Braille
Hey hey, in Braille
Hey hey
So you'll know
Baby I, baby I could never truly deny you
My ability to not hold you is what blinds you
You got me searchin searchin searchin trying to find you
It's so hard to know because...
The only way to see things is to feel
As if I was writing you in Braille
The only way to know is holding you
Who could ever love you like I do
It's better to believe when you can touch
Sometimes the words is just too much
But everybody needs something that they can feel
So if you can't see it
Baby I put it in Braille
Hey hey, in Braille

Hey hey
I've soaked it all in, now I want to pour it out
I've soaked it all in, now I want to pour it out
I XXX on a soul train in downtown Philly
Sat back in my seat and soaked in the city
Fell asleep and then the train stopped running
So I walked the streets until the sun rose again
It was unfamiliar territory abandon and a few cars
driving by
And people on the corner standing
They didn?t acknowledge me so I did the same back
Plus it was so dark I tried to stay on track
Following the street lights so I can see ahead of me
Avoiding the dark alleys and probably pass them plenty
Where situation could have been deadly
But I wasn't a treat to no one just moving alone steady
I've soaked it all in, now I want to pour it out
I've soaked it all in, now I want to pour it out
I had no clock so time was a guessing game
I want to go where? nobody knows my name
XXX XXX's fighting... I wonder who will win
I'll check the results tomorrow on channel 10
I saw this girl who looked like a supermodel
XXX on a runway she's running away
Standing in one place a car pulled beside her
We made eye contact, but neither of us smiled
It started raining
I've tried to block it out in my mind in the sky with
some dark clouds
And then I recognize how I miss being home
But even there is no different than this
Surrounded by things that I can't change
Or maybe I could? if I wasn't searching for the next
train
I've soaked it all in, now I want to pour it out
I've soaked it all in, now I want to pour it out
I was just walking talking to myself
Somebody asked for change? I didn't hesitate to help
Reached in my pocket... but there was nothing there
He looked at me as if I didn't really care
I just kept moving? the city seemed so alive, but I
felt so dead inside
So I figured I was hungry? now I'm asking for change
Sometimes we?re so different then we become the same
The city moved faster as the sun started to rise
I wasn't tired or hungry... just wanted to catch a ride
But at this point I was lost and confused and I didn't
wanted
To leave cuz that?s what I always do
Never around to do something significant
Just watching from the distance and soaking it in
And that?s why I'm always getting on a train
But this time I won't ever be the same...
I wish I could make your problems go away, but I can't
even do that with my own
So that?s why I'm getting on a train... searching for a
place called home
I wish I could make your problems go away, but I can't
even do that with my own
I think this time I'm going to stay and pour out what
I've soaked in.
I've soaked it all in, now I want to pour it out
I've soaked it all in, now I want to pour it out
I've soaked it all in, now I want to pour it out
Oh oh oh, Nobody make noise
nobody raise your hands to the sky
Oh oh oh, Nobody reach out
Nobody touch it, what you gonna do
Oh oh oh, Nobody make noise
Nobody raise your hands to the sky
Oh oh oh, Nobody reach out
Nobody touch it, what you gonna do
Daily double trouble all around, he got a bubble goose
when they shoot, he ducks down
avoiding the forces destroying the fruits of his seed
employed by the streets he was working for free
motivated by greed, green sacks he would smoke up
and sell to common folk who like toking (smoking) it,
on the reg (regular)
ay yo, shots fly he pray one, reach his head
blood pours he caught on in the leg, now
where he run to, crippled, simple minded
lived in the city and, dreamed of dying
promoted death, with every single breath
but now his breath is getting short and he’s scared
shaking in his boots as he pulls out his hair
got what he wanted but he wasn’t prepared
crying, realizing he don’t wanna die
he’s nobody, and me and him are so much alike
Oh oh oh, Nobody make noise
nobody raise your hands to the sky
Oh oh oh, Nobody reach out
Nobody touch it, what you gonna do
Oh oh oh, Nobody make noise
Nobody raise your hands to the sky
Oh oh oh, Nobody reach out

When the rain falls down, nobody seeks
shelter for the storm, or strength for the weak
nobody wants peace from the violent wind
nobody wants to escape this, life of sin
when children cry, nobody wants to help
nobodies true to others, nobodies true to self
nobody shares their wealth, mentally and physically
spiritually and so forth with, faith in God
nobody wants to live, nobody wants to fight
nobody chooses sides standing for what’s right
nobody sees color beyond black and white
nobody shines so even the blind can see the light
nobodies leaving behind all the pain from the past
God’s willing to help, nobodies willing to ask
God’s willing to help, nobodies willing to ask
if only nobody would take off the mask
Oh oh oh, Nobody make noise
Nobody raise your hands to the sky
Oh oh oh, Nobody reach out

Oh oh oh, Nobody make noise
Nobody raise your hands to the sky
Oh oh oh, just call me Nobody yeah

Nobody shares their wealth, mentally and physically
Spiritually and so forth with faith in God

and I’ll be ready when they say that Nobody will do it
uh, it goes, daily I wrestle
see me on stage but I’m nobody special
respond if you feel it
9-1-1 wasn’t a joke
pistols blaze, young guns get lost in the smoke
there’s a war going on between the rich and the broke
it’s in the streets, worldwide, overseas and under oath
from day one man was flawed, we fall daily
no man is perfect, word, but we can keep working
fulfill our purpose, before we’re gone with the wind
storing treasures for the final days and focus on the
end (result)
the vinyl plays and I write, my minds stays in the
light
and sprays a rhyme to ignite freedom
I’m feeling like it’s all over
standing in the cold to be reminded that I’m still
breathing
and I’m leaving this state of mind that got me
depressed
all the desires of the flesh, get put to rest
and understand, we can live free in harsh reality
and shine light, when it’s to dark to see
Keep on, sun rise to sun fall
get your back up off the wall and keep
Keep on, we in this together, good and bad weather
only the soul lasts forever
Keep on, sun rise to sun fall
get your back up off the wall and keep
Keep on, focus on the permanent things
we can’t always trust what we see
I’m taking shots at the system like a paparazzi
you can’t stop me, from operating properly
I’m set to prosper with no illegal scandal,
just honest, diligent hard work, I can’t stand still
I call my cash cream, it’s not about the benjamin’s
my cream is medicine, I’m not afraid to spread it thin
bless a struggling family with some food to eat
I know if in reverse, they would do it for me
I’m looking out for my people in these trife (trifle)
times
children play outside and put their life on the line
it’s not all bad, but it’s been seeming so lately
seeing all these teenage girls raising babies
with no fathers, subliminal manslaughter
young bucks on the block sipping dirty bath water
in glass bottles, feeling betrayed and cursed
stay encouraged, the last shall be first, I’m saying
Keep on, sun rise to sun fall
get your back up off the wall and keep
Keep on, we in this together, good and bad weather
only the soul lasts forever
Keep on, sun rise to sun fall
get your back up off the wall and keep
Keep on, focus on the permanent things
we can’t always trust what we see
Goliath strikes and stands larger then my shadow is
I’m not equipt to battle this man handler alone
built on the rock, evil infiltrates my home
and I’m to honest to God to cast the first stone
fear factor got me thinking to turn, run the opposite
options fade, opposition tossing grenades
I’m not trained in the art of war
I’m not running wild chasing beef, like a carnivore
sometimes I feel like giving up
sometimes I feel like it’s not worth the fight
sometimes I feel like nobody cares
cried at night and realized, God was right there
so regardless of what’s see with physical eyes
(deep inside) I know there’s meaning to life
and even when I’m feeling down, defiled, defeated and
I don't bust caps or press em on Krylon cans
I just stand on stage with the MIC in my hand
8 years ago, no friend of mine
was around to talk, so I'd sit and write rhymes
I can't say, hiphop is all bad cause it isn't
sometimes it makes me mad and I eject it from my system
this is an art-form, a form of expression
communication, something that youth relate with
gang related or peace statements, it's all up to the
artist
we got, freedom of speech and each aims for a different
target
different markets, different agendas, different
intentions
some are pure, some are offensive
I'm just, one of many different sides represented
or should I mention, each individual is their own
extension
speaking their perspective, so in this game I hold my
ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my home
Hiphop started in the Bronx, come on
now it lives all over the world
people of all types embrace the culture, bang the music
get into it, start a movement, keep doing it
when you write your first rhyme don't expect to be
considered the best mc, develop your flavor and recipe
if you wanna see success it takes a lot of sacrifice
and effort
just because you got a flow doesn't get you cheddar
call it cash money, I hate slang and stereo types
for all mediums I give the same advice
no matter what you strive for, no matter what goals you
there's no short cut to the golden pot, the plot
thickens
I spit out lyrics like their lukewarm but keep it hot
plant seeds to feed the flock when the beat knocks
stay focused on God, bless tracks with passion
I'll be loving hiphop till my flesh turns to ashes
I got a love/hate relationship with hiphop, it
frustrates me
it can break these rusty chains or drive me crazy
I'm a rhyme spitting, time bomb ticking
Christ is living, and died, to save me from this worlds
sickness
when people think of rap music they relate it to
players, pimps
paper chasers and gang bangers, but don't forget
just cause you see them scenes in videos
doesn't mean, that for every mc, that's how it really
goes
the truth is, hiphop is diverse as earth is
what a man speaks reflects the world he's immersed in
and the condition of his heart, yo it's hard to judge
most these rappers would be nothing, without their
budget
and record labels, paying for promotions
putting their face on posters, while they posing
but see, hiphop music gave a voice to the streets
plus it made profit, so now everybody wants a piece
I wasn't down from the beginning but since I started
I've been true to God, myself and true to the art
all I got left to say for everybody east to west
Trained for this moment since the day I was born
since before I made tapes that ignored
since before I had a rap name or started to record
I’ve been chilling in the back getting prepared for war
I got a strategy, this isn’t random rapid fire
this is one shot, headed for Goliath (I can’t miss)
target practice on topics, flipping rhymes off the top
waiting for this one chance to throw my rock (rock on)
the least expected to defeat the beast
judgements passed to blast my confidence, I won’t
surrender or retreat
return my gifts to the sender, this is worship in the
chaos
this is heavy concentration (got my game face on)
an eruption of noise flooding from a mouth of silence
I’m nobody, a spec of dust battling a giant
he stands and mocks me, everyone things I’m crazy
laughing as if I’m not aware of who I’m facing
Goliath, I sat back and watched for to long
you can’t hold me down anymore
Goliath, it’s been going on for to long
I’m sick and tired, now I’m taking out the giant
Goliath, I sat back and watched for to long
you can’t hold us down anymore
Goliath, it’s been going on for to long
I’m sick and tired, now I’m taking out the giant
And his shadow covers the country side, we’re dwelling
in the darkness
running away, while he’s running things
calling shots, got us locked in bondage
his threats hold us hostage, afraid to be free from his
grip
I can’t hold my tongue, I’m holding this stone
hands sweaty and callus, mentally un-balanced, I’m
ready for the challenge
seen many before me back down and crack under pressure
it’s time to take drastic measure, let it loose
intimidation factor tries to set in, I’m grab my weapon
not arrogant, but it’s apparent that he’s feeling
threatened
I’m stepping in his direction, the point of no return
with every action backed by the power of words
Goliath, I sat back and watched for to long
you can’t hold me down anymore
Goliath, it’s been going on for to long
I’m sick and tired, now I’m taking out the giant
Goliath, I sat back and watched for to long
you can’t hold us down anymore
Goliath, it’s been going on for to long
I’m sick and tired, now I’m taking out the giant
My armor is weak, I don’t expect to be hit at all
I’m entering, knowing I’m protected (he can’t touch me)
mental simulations, got me picturing victory
he’s snickering and slithering, I’m setting him strait
full speed ahead, he’s surprised by my approach
probably thinking I’ma try and swing a sword to his
throat
but I go for what I know, throw a stone with precision
accurate and cracking his skull, when it hits it
he’s tripping, he’s shaking, I’m taking him out
and before he could react he fell flat on the ground
the whole earth shook, I returned to finish him
chopped of his head and carried it through the villages
the city people cheered, I delivered a speech
they all danced in the streets celebrating his defeat
I said, he was dead, before the battle started
My Darkest Hour, Was Pitch Black
Rain Clouds In The Sky, Could Only See When The Lightning Strikes
Withered Flowers, Hang With Their Heads Down
The Weight Splashes Inside And Keeps Falling
No Smiles, Beauty Hidden For Protection
Until Trampled By Shuffling Feat
Until A New Season Arrives And Brings Joy
In Times Of Desperation, Seeking To Be Noticed
And All I Want Is To Be Trimmed Of These Thorns
To Seem More Inviting To The Poor
Unfortunate Reflection Of My Selfish Existence
Can It Be? It Was All So Simplistic
Sipping On My Sorrow While It's Washing It Away
Trying To Add Color To These Shades Of Grey
And Trying To Make Sense Out Of All This Confusion
Embrace My Reality And Unmask Illusions, Holograms
I Advance On A Quest With Many Questions
Distracted For A Second But I Know That I Destined
Counting My Blessing, Renewed Everyday
And I Know I'd Never Grow Without These Shades Of Grey
What Could Drive A Man Off A Cliff, Lost In Thoughts
Analyze Life To Find What's Real And What's Not
Forgotten Faces, Flashing Through My Conscience
A Conquest For Freedom, Constant Forward Motion
Leaving Egypt, Past Erased From Attachment
To Start From Scratch With The Bricks That Established
My True Identity, Secret To Most
Deeper Then Known, I'm Keeping It Close, To My Heart
Written On Stone Tablets, Alone In My Magic
Advice Projected, Correcting Bad Habits
Laughing As I Drowned In Mystical Tears
Mind Consumed By Thoughts That My Physical Fears
I Can't, Listen With Ears, Cause Words Will Deceive
As I Stand Up Against Darker Versions Of Me
Looking Over My Shoulder, Waiting For False Moves
Dancing Around Land-Mines And Get Lost In The Grove
What Happens?, When All The Light Slowly Fades Away
And You Try To See God Inside A Shades Of Grey
He's Ever-Present, Through Our Mistakes Flaws And Folly
He Could Have Left Me Falling, But Instead He Called Me
And I Answered, Silent And Unsure What To Say
Just Thanking Him For Life Even With The Shades Of Grey
This Life Is Unpredictable, No Limits Or Restrictions
It's Filled With Opportunities And Filled With Addictions
So Much Joy, Yet So Much Affliction
Pain And Oppression, Shame And Conviction
So Much We See Yet, So Much we're Missing
So Much To Change And So Much we're Fixing
Faith And Forgiveness, Chaos Destruction
Poverty, Paychecks, Starving Children And Corporate Lunches
Love, Peace, War, Hate And Hunger
Fall, Winter, Spring, Summer, Sunshine And Thunder
I'm Going Under, Now I'm Rising
How Much Time Is Left? There's No Rewinding
Sometimes Even The Light Can Seem Blinding
I Wash My Thoughts In Blood To Keep My Mind Clean
I Don't Have Everything I Want
I've Always Had Everything I Needed Everything Hasn? t Always Went How I Planned It
But I Wouldn? t Change Who I Am Even If You Offered Me A Mansion
Just Existing Is Enough, Just Living
I'll Do My Best To Make The Right Decisions
Until The Day Heaven Takes Me Away
Letting go, of something that you hold close
Why you let it stay around, you just don't know, say
Let it Go
Let it Go
Letting go, of something that you hold close
Tried to make it work out, but it won't, say
Let it Go
Let it Go
I gotta let this go, once and for all, I'm one voice
Speaking in-between the pauses, waiting for my time
Is it right now or has it passed me by, I magnify
The situation through my glass eye and analyze it
What's real and what's fake? It's blown out of proportion
All the voices in my head sound distorted (do the right thing)
And muffled, I'm stretching my faith muscle, this rap game's a hustle
A struggle to stay humble and trust
Big trouble, in little me, causing complications
I run from confrontation, observations made from a distance
My defense to resist, I'm not convinced
That all my silhouettes can co-exist, so I drift
Into the clouds of God's grace and freedom, feeling like these feelings
Is filling me, with pride and negativity I don't need
And even though at times I felt stepped on
And taken for granted, it's time to heal from the damage
Letting go, of something that you hold close
Why you let it stay around, you just don't know, say
Let it Go
Let it Go
Letting go, of something that you hold close
Tried to make it work out, but it won't, say
Let it Go
Ay yo, I cipher in the center of this life cycle
It's a rhyme recital written for your safety and survival
It's vital information for a dying generation
My text respiration for the earths restoration
And edification, soul crusade, I tour the states
Eight years rhyming, still improving with age
Making musical wages, moving crowds in all locations
On stages and radio stations, got love for all creation
Rocking the nation I'm patient, motivated to make it
The David vs. Goliath scenario, blasted through your stereo
From every angle and topic, deposit knowledge
Wisdom and logic cautiously, kicking it constantly
A clear conscience and a strategy for the process
Put thoughts in action with active ingredients, actively feeding this
Vision all that it needs, raising havoc
Even when I wreck it here's a method to my madness
Braille Brizzy I'm back, I connect with the
Track, attack and react with raw rap
Cipher in the center of wherever I'm at
When the beat drops it's on, I let loose and blast
Braille Brizzy I'm back, I connect with the
Track, attack and react with raw rap
Cipher in the center of wherever I'm at
Count the cost, I'm gonna make this life count, before I'm down for the count
Count the cost, we're gonna make this life count, before we're down for the count
We, struggle and fight, through the dark of night
And the sharks that bite will give you scars for life
See the stars and stripes, we salute
A never ending pursuit of truth it's true
The permanent we're after, persevere when disaster strikes
Shining light when we're smashing, smashing MICs
And stay focused on the after, after life
Cause if it won't last it's not worth the price
It's all live, dead alive, stage dive, resurrect for recreation
Re-create, re-structure, set the record strait for restoration
Constant temptation, I'm set apart and separated
Every step we take, elevates us towards the final destination
Determined and certain the words in the sermon are serving a purpose
Lifting the burdens, if your searching I'm sure it's worth it
To seek the surgeon, defeat the serpents and circumstances
That lurk below the surface waiting for a chance to murk us
Infectious infections, the tongue is a lethal weapon
That can either destroy you or bring protection
Who's the enemy? Who's injecting our seeds with greedy eyes
And feeding minds sugar coated poison, disguised as vitamins
Vital signs of the times are evident, most are hesitant
To realize, the seven headed dragon spitting fire speaking lies
But I will rise, receive the spiritual prize
And not waste my life chasing temporary highs
We, struggle and fight, through the dark of night
And the sharks that bite will give you scars for life
See the stars and stripes, we salute
A never ending pursuit of truth it's true
The permanent we're after, persevere when disaster strikes
Shining light when we're smashing, smashing MICs
And stay focused on the after, after life
Cause if it won't last it's not worth the price
Count the cost, I'm gonna make this life count, before I'm down for the count
Soul Rock Rock, Rock your Soul
Soul Rock Rock, Rock your Soul, let me hear you say
Soul Rock Rock, Rock your Soul
Soul Rock Rock, Rock your Soul
The Soul Rock soldier, rock solid sonic Solomon
Rock in Sodom and Gomorah, souls tortured, sin abolishes
Society, the beats and rhymes bring the balance back
I swing a battle axe, attack accurate, lyrical tactics
Take flight over the badlands, bad habits reign supreme
Battered and bruised, confused with shattered dreams
It's time to change the scene, full swing, drums harder to hit ya
Get a ticket for the show, your missing the big picture
Dis-figured images, deception dominates the premises
It's war, but who's the enemy? Who's the nemesis?
Pessimistic perceptions spread spiritual pestilence
This year, it's all about this year right here
This year, it's all about this year right here
This year, it's all about this year right here
This year, it's all about this year right here
My wings are soaring
spent too many years held down by the forces of
darkness
Exhausted with no energy
My box of rhymes filled with many thoughts and memories
Unforgiving those that trespass against me
My character in life to sacrifice against me
No regrets, self relentless on a journey
Another year, another opportunity - yeah.
A new sunrise, a new day to embrace
And make changes in my life, to rest in new stages ???
Restoration for my family
We felt the pains of broken-ness, lonliness
I'm hopin this year we can grow from the struggle
I'm holding this pen & expressing my heart
And I gotta show my love with actions
To focus on God and not get distracted
This year, it's all about this year right here (x4)
It's obvious that I'm livin a dream
I try hard to stay awake but it's way too late
So long I've waited, so far away
No man could take away what I'm holding
My salvation, peace, love, and freedom
I've got other things but I know I don't need 'em
I got my family and that's so beautiful
When I write rhymes, each line is crucial
I'm inspired by ??? butterfly
I'm not lookin at those girls when they passin by
Silly sinacle, you could sit at home
That's a essential though I'm not tryin ta catch next
drop kick
I got so much on the line
I'm feelin like the paper that I write on, no doubt
I'm keepin God first at being diligent
So no matter what I face I can deal wit it
Tony Stone on the beat and we're doin it...
[beat change]
This year! It's all about this year right here (x4)
Ill flavor in ya ear wit a message!
This is the Bay ta test for the main event
I speak from the soul, my skintone is irrelevant
Canada to Germany, LA to the East
I did shows in Japan, I'm a travelin man like MosDef
I got ten-thousand of Yen
8 bucks, 5 Euro, keep it live in ya borough or project
I'm on a mission with ambition
Bringin transmission to spiritual transmission
Spread throught the airwaves like a air-raid
Droppin concepts never heard on the airplay
And airborne evolution's takin place
It all starts with you, Mic check 1, 2
Ohmega watts mega mix, butter milk biscuits for your
boombox
old school like tube socks
smooth like a butterfly, sting like a scorpion
how you throwing rocks when your house made of
porcelain?
503 origin, originate original
compositions analog or digital, underground or pinnacle
heights
we reach, writing rhymes on skylines and shine heavenly
heavy rotation with fly melodies,
flipped fresh, dipped in honey but never sugar coated
sound-scape's change shape but our hearts stay devoted
Wax, reformation, Watts, shock electric
Much, time invested into musical progression
to bring you, the final result laced correct
reflecting a new state of soul that lives inside
effectively
translated through music to your mind
an everlasting understanding that we found, it's the
find
I rock and bring revolution as the record rotates
earthquake mental states when I drop like nuclear waste
shaking the industry, breaking the mold
a broken jaw won't stop this, speaking truth hard to
handle like chop sticks
ha, spitting fire till the place evacuates
saturate my shirt with sweat stains and ashes, we smash
spiritually everlasting, with uncanny passion
mastering microphones like focus over distraction
setting the tone, bring medicine in a sick flow
rappers biting their tongue like french kissing with a
Pit-bull
I'm your host, Braille Brizzy, rocking the beat
it's the find, need I say more, I'll let the music
Right this moment, yo we're running out of time
we'll see if I get to finish this rhyme
Life on earth is cursed, the curtain closes, eyes open
searching for peace in final moments, playing the game
till it's over
perfect strangers, perfection isn't obtained by
momentary gain or, voluntary pain
martyr your heart condition, sacrifice all your
possessions
it's burning up in flames with violent aggression
causing depression
Right this moment a women gets raped, there's no escape
the flesh flashed in his face fed his rage
on every tv station and magazine page
we keep falling (to temptation) cause this is how we're
raised
I don't expect every line to make sense at first
mention
that's why with this album I recommend repeated listens
my flow isn't the illest, my content isn't the sickest
these visions are to specific, I'm bringing you
something different
Right this Moment, what's going on?
step outside, turn on your tv, turn on the radio
blaow, coming through your speaker right now
music is more then just a style
Right this Moment, what's going on?
step outside, turn on your tv, turn on your radio
blaow, coming through your speaker worldwide
to many shades of grey, time to make it black and white
Right this moment, another rapper gets shot
you'd act surprised, but there's something you forgot
we reap what we sew, each lyric is a seed
guns ain't killing rock stars, they only murder mcs
many lives lost, stolen by bullets blasted out chambers
a clear and present danger, playing the game till it's
over
it's all fun and games until someone gets hurt
might just start shooting ourselves like Kurt, (for
what it's worth)
Right this moment, soldiers invade foreign territory
tear it down and bring terror to their family
I can't say if it's wrong or justified, I'm just a man
who stands
between behind the scene secrets, so I admit I have a
weekness
we can sit and argue about, who's right and who's wrong
who's good and who's evil, the discussion goes on and
all I know is, (right this moment) I can make a
difference in this world
sit and watch it get worse or work to make it more
