This ain't your ordinary intro T0ne M KO Konshu's Odyssey Welcome to my lunar journey Step into the realm That I'm putting together When things fell apart From the Roots, whatever I still flow blunt and clever Like Bugs Bunny with clubs Asking you how many lumps of sugar Sweet ain't the feeling I'm feeling Filling my blood boils Need oil Definitely Crown Royal Till I'm brain dead But instead I paint my thought red On pages and pavements cops chalking Step out each night With my dark thoughts walking…

Verse 1 Bloodshot eyes Dark skies Chill reach for your spine Take hold Cold hands in pocket Cupping an empty wallet Walking pass empty cars Wishing that I was whipping Riveting thoughts hitting But darts missing the mark Sparks of inspiration get lost in space Arms facing the skies Mind chasing the whys Hard to be original Try to find myself In other individuals Loner’s connection Dial up Stress keeps piling up Steps add miles up No pedometer No destination My soul’s a negative thermometer But a glimmer of hope Still beating on my heart’s monitor The copper tone opera Putting drama in my vision Wrestle with passions That I struggle masking Rage, problems, and sorrow Pray they gone by tomorrow But it’s 3:30 to yesterday From my sins I can’t get away… Chorus Midnight strolls Brooklyn streets so cold Late night strolls Looking for my soul Midnight strolls Always out alone Late night strolls Looking for my soul… Verse 2 Bloodshot eyes Dark skies Heat of the night Ice Gripping the life He might lose Booze toxicated Where news cameras don’t make it Strapped so steady waiting For enemies gun blazing Amazing how he came from A mother and father Lovers forever Got to together He was allured to fat asses Gun clips and blunt tips Riding through hoods gritty Feeling like he run shit Fucked with the wrong nigga’s chick Got a hit on his head Even his own nigga’s hunting For his head He was dead before they got him Lost in his own problems The devil got at his mind Peeled away all sanity Travelling to the nigga Whose feather’s ruffled To scuffle but Only found the last Bullet to ever flash Marksmen was the broad That let him get at the ass Life lost to lust Living way too fast… Chorus Bridge When the world feels against me And my mind mad stressed B I just rock some Timbos Headphones Step out And search for my zone When the world feels against me And my mind mad stressed B I just rock some Timbos Headphones Step out Get lost in my zone Verse 3 Bloodshot eyes Dark skies Konshu’s eye Guides my night strolls Ghastly glow Cold night air Ensnare bodies shivering Fighting souls withering My hope so infinite Though I struggle living Giving my own heart Like Christmas they tear apart The wrapping But lose attraction When satisfaction’s guaranteed Need long term sustainability Like a hybrid Jeep Grand Cherokee I want eternity I ain’t He-Man But Greyskull power feeding This evening pedestrian Riding beats equestrian Self confessing via hip hop expression No flow I’m venting To battle my depression My footprints decorate Brooklyn’s pavement Size 10s worn to the sole’s breaking… Chorus to outro

Verse 1 What you’re hearing now Pain inspired Makes your blood boil Flaming fire Like its Hell sent See I’m Hell bent To find my end in these streets Feel my chest wet Bullet ridden Full of triggers pulled By niggas full of shit Good riddance Or is it I want to feel alive By fighting for my life Do and die in Bedstuy Seeking my destruction Or am I lusting the allure Of the guns and the whores Break from my shelter And find more Reasons for me to live for At least a little more Till I know what I’m all about Beyond a shadow of a doubt I’m as black as my shadow When the city blacks out I’ll black out any city If these gritty streets get me And give me death As I give you my last breath… Chorus Late nights Steady on the grind Late nights Giving all my time Late nights Run amok Through the muck Till I’m stuck Don’t give a fuck Where I rest my head… Late nights No time to sleep Late nights Only when I rest in peace Late nights Wrestle with the beast In the streets That feast on my spirit And I hear them screaming The world is so cold You’re all alone You must let go Or lose your soul… Verse 2 3 AM learning how the universe works Penning verses That may never get heard Composing rhymes I put in that overtime Mind’s on overdrive Writing to the finish line Eyes red as stop signs Staring at yellow lights Looking up Blue mics To record my blackest plight I’m Lee Plenty Need a bottle of Henny My dick licked by the baddest bitch And maybe a semi Cause Havilland ain’t having me no more Would’ve tossed my cross To be the man she was looking for Would she love me more If my songs hit Like Robin Thicke And sobbed a bit Cause I love you Guess I’m Lenny Will Cause my Tower or Power Will fall in its final hour Though I’m a young man still Sick of wasting time So let me get my fill Click the clip And rest my eyes Goodbye… Outro The world is so cold You’re all alone You must let go Or lose your soul…

Break beat Stay street Light when I sleep Seep right through my window Glow on my walls Fall as the night Write for the blogs And the applause In my own mind I’m trying to own mine No Oprah Harpo with a harpoon Black Ahab Pierce through the backbone Of the great black With my Moby Dick I never hit a woman in my life Except my sister sometimes When she got out of line My Pops could never find Her flaws at all Till she got about as tall As me At 13 Slick serpentine Dark moods sever me From reality Or the need of allies At times I Overload on stress Choose pills matrix Red blue Who are you A frail nigga Flow sicker than the cancer In my grandma Wish I could answer My phone when she calls Or give her a call And bear her burden She Not at all Fuck man Remember back in the days when I was at her house every weekend Thinking bout that grade school crush Till I got crushed By my 1st lover And the sad fact is I still love her But I can’t touch her Or let her know How this shit hurts so I store pain like a hard drive And drive hard to the dark side I’m Darth Maul Darth Vader & Palpatine Build an empire To end with these hands of mine But I got to rise Like the letter I In Trajan typeface All I want is to capitalize on my lowest case Own a space be an enterprise Captain Kirk with a Spock mind Collect dimes like piggy banks But I got one So I give thanks And wait the days we unite No sex yet I’m trying to do this right No love yet We barely struggle to fight To keep going But we keep growing Till “I love you” phrase Is beyond spoken I know in my heart That I know nothing But I know a lot more Than these niggas fronting Pop told me The hood bring out The best and the worst in you So what’s in you My mind wanders These late night ponder Random ass thoughts That amass to my very thought Mind so aMAZing Even I get lost…

Verse 1 Emotions brew within me Need some brew within me Painkiller from the candy store Drown the pain stored in my brain Till I’m numb to the whole world The whole world’s already numb to me A strong drink at my weakest point A strong drink to exploit my thoughts Till they’re lost All it cost is a little soul I sit alone in dark rooms Till turmoil is consumed By the Crown Royal I bear a royal crown I sip with clowns and the criminals Murderous individuals So cynical So pitiful Could give a fuck how I’m living When I’m sipping truth The call of alcohol appeals to me Like baby mamas steady teasing me This cup gives me something to believe In Or leak out Each and every doubt So until I’m dead I’ll take my brew instead Keep my head low And my eyes red Bottles of Patron Till I’m floating far away Bottles of Patron Get me through another day… Chorus One won't do Two is not enough for me No Verse 2 Let’s see I got 1 got 2 got Bartender got all I need 4 shots of that Hennessey You know Different flavors Of the truest neighbor Life’s pain drowned away By some chardonnay Keep the taste Till I’m blue in the face Blue as Muddy Waters Champagne when I’m thirsty Lurking in the city Searching in my pity For my murder scene But I’m too strong Or too scared to murder me So I’ll drink till my liver bleeds And my dreams feel More real Than reality feel I steel my heart When shawty throwing them darts Signals across the bar Till I’m deep in her jaws And her bra And her drawls But so far Can’t take no more scars That’s what the liquor for Nothing left to live for So until I’m dead I’ll take my brew instead Keep my head low And my eyes red Bottles of Patron Till I’m floating far away Bottles of Patron Get to another day… Chorus to outro

Welcome to my nightmare My nightmare Facing my fears head on They dead on target Like a headshot marking Off my enemies In a me Guns blazing CODs COPs Keep me bugging Strutting through the streets Packing heat Mike Weston Burn notice 3rd degrees Ready to murder me Don’t have to break no laws They’ll say probable cause Probably cause they mistake us Brand Nubians for niggas Nigga please My disease paranoia The reason my sleep produce monsters Plagued by these Goyas Reporters never interview Though my interludes be Hotter than the radio tunes Konshu’s new moon Entomb my journey to the morgue And record all my dark shit This that from the heart shit The artist articulating Pressure suffocating This diamond from shining But the light is out Scared I burned out all the shit I can spit about Battling doubt The fuck am I all about who The fuck are you to tell me who The fuck I’m supposed to be what The fuck do you know Of the real T0ne M see I’m a slave to the world And the world is my cage So beyond forgiven I go beyond religion Failing my God-given mission And that is my worst fear That is my worst fear Failure’s my worst fear Fighting back tears Grinding gears to the break of dawn Breaking barriers that my mind was built upon I stay fatigued Like a soldier overseas That battle foes that don’t exist More pissed Than a drip caused By gonna-Rihanna No comradarie follow My Creed or Legacy I lead and bleed Sowing seeds in a dream That might not happen Maybe I should quit rapping And pouring every ounce of passion And pack up my things Head back to the Swamp Where I rose a dragon But end up toothless and slain When I tried to train I ride the train or Greyhound Between my home and folks Lean with the heavy bags A ghost that fades to black Full of hot air till I popped my balloon This is how it feels when you lose I met my doom looking in the mirror There’s no motherfucka that I fear more…

Verse 1 Sometimes I think too much Sometimes I don’t think enough Trying to find sincerity Where the heavenly host The Holy Ghost suppose to reside As the beats ride Penning down these quotes from my mind I’m searching for the truth I’m searching for the honest man in me Honestly I be 20 Wrestling with demons Leaking out my penis Trying to be hardcore And Einstein genius Fuck being the best MC If I’m the best me Nobody can fuck with me I’ve come so far from home So far from fake broads Mall thugs and those Cold killers with no souls Soul is cold as snowman At the peak of Mt.

Verse 1 So I open up my laptop Cut on the iTunes And let the beat drop Automatically my thoughts turn to you Your light brown eyes The way your lips move Voice soothe my soul Soul’s so old Reggae ton Frank Sinatra in your headphones Love the way you moan So sweet is the freak I greet between the sheets That speaks to the freak Asleep inside of me Love how you breathe Speak elevation like you follow my Creed Digging your style Loving your smile Damn Life ain’t feel this good in awhile You hold a prince down Anchor to my ship Wish you were around And lingered like The kiss when we kiss So I guess that I miss you The queen of my dreams The girl I’m into… Chorus Queen of my dreams The girl I'm into Queen of my dreams The girl I'm into Queen of my dreams The girl I'm into I'm so into you Hey Queen of my dreams The girl I'm into Queen of my dreams The girl I'm into Queen of my dreams The girl I'm into I'm so into you Hey hey hey... Verse 2 You remember the day we first met Cooking breakfast At the apartment Ryerson Ave From Jersey to BK Long distance Came all the way up to see me At first glance Can’t describe the trance You had me in Sensation when my lips met your skin Tinge of cherry limeade Minute Maid Each minute a memory Moments fantasized Surprise Now my reality Dumbo stroll Our hands in hold History and mystery of our lives unfold Told me your Jamaican heritage And my Ohio residence Were inspired by my fire I admired your innocence Though I craved it Had to save it Before love is made It need proper preparation I’m aching to be your dream come true Ms. Queen of my dream The girl I’m into… Chorus Spoken Bridge Verse 3 So long since I last seen you Breathed you I’m starting to feel a need to Experience your moonlight In my dark nights Shine close My embrace so tight The grip of death loose The muse Lifting up my mood I make moves That draw me close to you Get it My artist Heart is all yours What I would kill Just to feel Your heart beat once more Feel more like NY bums With the lungs of a smoker You give me hope Make me feel I can takeover The throne reign over With you as my empress The one who know me best That God willing is blessed with My ring and my Creed And bearing our seeds The girl I’m into… Chorus 2x
