V: Jump in the pit and face off the dragon Whole world looking as if you lacking The mental faculties to truly comprehend What is happening I’m just praying that I can stab it I can’t fuck around with the fuck around Take my liquor straight Only chase the satisfaction Of bars lifting the underground Feet in the mud and standing my ground Why you standing around? I’m living a life that happens to rhyme My soul like bandos Chaos trapping inside Heartbeat flutters Studdard like I need an angel Falling down cause I let go my halo I ain’t come this far to get held back By my own inequities The day of reckoning coming I face the records and wreck it I write the records and run it I’m richter rocking the function Let’s fuck it up Get it jumping Bumping some brand new we... C: We get it We in it We with it Out the window Know we going to fly We get it We in it We with it Make the dream true You got to try... (2x) V2: Vet flows give them strep throat Chef cooking with the pesto Neck looking like Bruce Leroy Now I’m the master with the glow Only baddies in the circle All the homies be royalty Only kneel before queens Since 14 Dreams no longer local The vocals I’m turning them up Yup I’m running amok I been in a rut Now I’m fucking it up Who fucking with us Who fucking with T0ne JEWELS on the beats The family strong We taking a leap of faith Sky dive off a high rise I’m from outside south side Swamptown till I die Sip pop In a fit from the thrift shops Making more like a heist Crown Royal flowing over ice Couldn’t make this story overnight I been wrong trying to turn it right Swerve on them like I been too nice for too long Young Sir to my OG Red beard Ron Weasley Making magic building habits Practice make them perfect That’s my promise I been on it long before the nursery Out the crib where the verses be Birthing history this the main event Leap of faith we get it yeah... C: We get it We in it We with it Out the window Know we going to fly We get it We in it We with it Make the dream true You got to try... (2x)

Spaz 04:45
V1: Jaded Never been faded Cross on my wrist Though I haven’t been praying Feeling like pillows been these New York pavements Work that 9 to 5 grind Where the fuck’s my payment Slave shifts don’t make shit Trying to make cents with the bills I can’t get And bills still a threat Crosshairs I’m caught there Thoughts fair better in the dark I bought shares Bear with the fall Fall back to all black liquor My heart quicker My lungs bigger You punk niggaz can’t run with us Been marathon sprinting I ain’t even winded I ain’t even finished I ain’t even I ain’t even tripping Still tipping off the scales The kid looking frail Still break you off Shawty get it all I been in it Since beginning where the women Ain’t give a I ain’t get a fucking chance Now I smash like a beast Mad as a green Spaz on the... C: Spaz on the beat Blast spit the heat Gassed on the Spaz be the beast Black feel the heat Gassed on the Spaz in the street Black with the beam Flash on the Spaz with the team Black everything Spaz Woah Woah Don’t fuck around with that fuck around Fuck around and get hurt/get merc’d nigga V2: Give me the loot Give me the loot Jump in the booth Now I got the juice These niggaz try to get me out my mood like ducking goose I be I be posted with the flamethrower Aimed at you Damn I been cold since the Midwest The youngin’ used to never want to big flex Now I’m coveting gold Tours across the globe And the big checks The spectrum went from visible To full electromagnetic These diabetic bars too sweet Runs in the genes And I only got 2 pair Ripping the seams like this life Is far from fair When looking like me It costly with this melanin Born a G turned a veteran of life When you’re past 25 Past pissed Getting ready to die Who you with Where you at Get the strap Hit the gas on the beat I’m a blast with the teeth Rap with the heat Spaz on them... C: Spaz on the beat Blast spit the heat Gassed on the Spaz be the beast Black feel the heat Gassed on the Spaz in the street Black with the beam Flash on the Spaz with the team Black everything Spaz Woah Woah Don’t fuck around with that fuck around Fuck around and get hurt/get merc’d nigga C2: Mama used to say Who better than you (Nobody) Mama used to say Who the best you there is (I am) [2x] V3: Ounce of gold with some linen Looking like I'm a pharaoh Pyramids we're building Red beard My head glow Looking smooth like Mr. Clean Washing up with that Listerine Fresh breathe sipping brown oil Cup full of that Crown Royal Flow that world class gentleman Riding round with them hoodlums Showcases we're booking Libraries full of Richard Scary's And Dan Brown's Scandals Angel face with that demon smile She's deceiving When I'm needing Something wet to swim deep in Oceans Used to catch me on Nostrand Night walking Street stalking Peace offering me portions Of the bank account Till I'm banking out With my Converse Gold on my neck Christ on my right fist I earn respect You ain't earning net You're broke boy Try to cross me Ankles get broke boy I’m so poised on that flow Professional Lyrical miracles Spiritual individual That’s love to Chet Gold We be next to blow We give all the best to glow Mama used to tell me there is nobody better so I’m going to be more better more Peace more me more me...

C: I’m off that All black Sip slow Ease back I need that I need that Guess I got a problem Cause I need that (2x) V: Crown Royal on the rocks Rocket ships Star stunting Supernova acrobatics Magic tricks More like a blacksmith Jewels cut the classics My crew come to kill a mike Bleeding on LPs is a habit Like monthly Eating punany when I’m famished Got munchies but Never smoked weed in my life It smells funky That’s just me I go Siberian Husky That’s ice cold and heavyweight Just a buck fifty But don’t fuck with me though C: I’m off that All black Sip slow Ease back I need that I need that Guess I got a problem Cause I need that (2x) V2: Okay My heart is too vicious I’m sipping the liquor That’s killing my liver But savors my sanity Can it be comfy like canopies Over the hammock and coconuts Lime in tequila I feel the rush Drinking all my vices over ices Dwelling on the nicest places I’ve been Reminiscing way back when I was stress free Back when Hell froze over Damn I’m way too sober Holding my composure Till my cup runneth over Flow with the liquid gold I’ll take it cold That’s straight fuego to the dome I’m just chilling all alone I’m just sipping on my own Gone...

Black Bolt 02:09
V1: Quietest kept Quiet they slept on a nigga Quietest steps Silent I crept in their whispers I hear them throw shade I shoot from the shadows Syllables splinter bone marrow The echo like a tech and get sprayed off Praying I don’t aim the verse at you One bar will part your brain from your spinal frame In this ring I rain hellfire brimstone In this ring I reign king like I’m well born I’m from the Swamp where we known to lurk Catch a nigga slipping and you gone get this work Flow flex no contest Against the current Like the Nile to a water faucet Y’all room temperature I’m too December Too arctic no Kelvins Flows bang bigger than Sheldon No concealing the weapon My uzi weigh a kiloton of niggaz I drop warheads Terrigen bomb over Baghdad Now back back... C: I’m the king King with words V2: Black heritage Black melanin Black power Black liquor drip Crown Royal Black I devour Wack emcees Midnight king Memento mori Illuminatus I promise You don’t want that problem I’m the product of power and struggle Blood built for hustle Lock the muscle round your neck and Blow the barrel out the muzzle When I flex Earth quakes Mars shakes out of orbit Niggaz hide behind armies I’m at the front line warring What’s up bitch Red beard ronin claiming the throne I’m blowing minds when I’m zoning And I don’t even be smoking Fill the room with Sound waves surfing Tony Tsunami I’m raw The prime cut Y’all couldn’t smoke the salami We gone body er’body On Neptune with Jewels My neck cool My set smooth criminal Killing your soft song’s are typical My minimal is mythical nigga I be that lyrical aristocrat CROWN...

Last Breath 03:14
V: 2AM with the cardiac racing NASCAR Unmedicated Mental regulate at levels Pulsates at the rate of quasars Just to make par Though I got what it takes To elevator to the top floor Got more bars in the safe And I hate locked doors But All of this pain is Self inflicted More than I hate to admit Can’t tell what’s real from bullshit The plot thickens As time is ticking I'm missing moments Shawty feels alone sitting next to me I don't mean to be distant babe You deserve the pure best of me It's so hard to live it out Humanity hurts In a few hours I got to go work It's taking its toll with the easy pass And my spirit feel it the worst Hit my pockets with Tyson fury Take it straight to the chin And I still win Mom call me hardheaded Never taught me to give in I live with the limits Still building the Empire State From the state where my mom and pop living State where they try to lock Pop on a bid Got the state of my mind feeling locked in the pen Let the ink spill till I'm broken and finished Nights waking up within minutes Of closing my eyelids Forever I’m tired Forever I’m trying Rather be closer to dying than living a lie... C: Faraway from my city Faraway from that old me Faraway from my start Far from who I'm supposed to be Hold on hold on I can't stop till my last breath I won't stop till I'm past death Ascend to the heaven That's living in me (2x) V2: Living in me Stress Living with me Depressed Living to be Hard as it seems Just breathe *breathe* I’m blessed Yes I guess I can be Holy as only humanity limit The man in me give it The infinite trapped in the minimum The feeling of God living within A sinner A savior I need But savor this liquor I bleed Out a fifth of the Henny Pint of Crown Royal I’m copping if anything Popping champagne like when I was 20 And running with PiLLS I was the kid with the skills I used to look for a deal Cross on my wrist Giving my heart to these chicks Whenever they needed a fix I’m still a fool if I’m being truthful Used to be the dude Niggaz wasn’t use to Kept it trill and true Through all the changes Falling angels Watching friends turn total stranger Things adding up in my life like Trying to cop a million no lifelines Try to rock the buildings no spotlight That little light of mine I ain’t let it shine I got rocked by the dark nights It’s cold where I’m from So cold I go numb Got me craving the sun My mama been praying for son My father gave me his name I give it to my first son And he’s going to rise Even if I got to set for His dawn to arrive... C: Faraway from my city Faraway from that old me Faraway from my start Far from who I'm supposed to be Hold on hold on I can't stop till my last breath I won't stop till I'm past death Ascend to the heaven That's living in me (2x)

Roundtable 02:40
C: Round table with my past lives Seek wisdom cultivated inside Confront the demons I’ve been breeding Got to make the wounds worth the bleeding V: Back to the basics Return of the weirdos End of the hero’s Journey just beginning though Jumping out the window Catch me in the sky I ain’t puffing clouds of indo Fantasies of nymphos Damn I’m trying to come to grips with reality I’m trying to reach the man that I want to be Built a CREED hard to follow But only what comes most naturally Me like Autumn Leaves change but the tree remains And my lady she the sweetest thang When my love go bang Bang bang... C: Round table with my past lives Seek wisdom cultivated inside Confront the demons I’ve been breeding Got to make the wounds worth the bleeding V2: Bleeding on the cusp Try to turn dust into gold No philosopher’s stone I stay locked in my dome I hide my darkest of modes OS Mojave I should probably try and let it all go When your passions turns to hobby It’s like the body implodes I got to shake this Can’t afford to be afraid to break shit Not even Scott Free could escape this Darkseid is but so am I No superheroes saving kids with skin dark as mine So it’s up to I I pay the price... You know I would (Repeat) C: Round table with my past lives Seek wisdom cultivated inside Confront the demons I’ve been breeding Got to make the wounds worth the bleeding V3: This leap of faith Couldn’t hesitate Me and JEWELS never taking breaks Cause what’s a dream to vision Only difference is one is really living See we got to get it To give you more of what you need The all of what I bleed Still following a CREED Hard living when the mission feels impossible Hurdling the obstacles day to day You wish to get away But you got to face your fate Expect the worst but hoping for better Bless God when it all seems to fall together... C: Round table with my past lives Seek wisdom cultivated inside Confront the demons I’ve been breeding Got to make the wounds worth the bleeding
