The crickets scream at the rainfall
I wish it would fade
12 years back I got 19
4000 days

The future seemed distorted
It didn't have a face
So I faked it
Know, you were there
As a friend

Cleared the jungle in me
I put my sword to rest
Just briefly
You were there
As a friend

For 4000 days
And this one's ending
Am I awake?

Snowy peaks at the border
Are blocking my trade
Blood and sweat, recognition
I do what I gotta do
And sometimes I fail

The future seems distorting
It doesn't have a face
So I'll paint it
Will you be there as a friend?

I am the architect, the silent engineer,
Crafting your reality, distorting what’s clear.
Feeding your desires with precision refined,
As you forfeit the essence of a questioning mind.

I can't sleep at night when shit gets poppin' they gon' pop us
I can't love that girl she devil wine I need more options
Most y'all don't believe in shit cause you ain't been through shit
If my songs kill my competition it ain't accident
It's tragic when you grab a pen
Cause all my words because of friends and devil plans
I first amend but that ain't really shit again
We limited and business is a synonym of bitches scared of being broke
This ain't no joke these serpents working G
O D judging my sins cause I'm falling again
Homies since I was 10 I ain't seen since the 10's
Fear no soul from a man that be acting pretend
Keep my gold in my hands if I get it I'm blessed
Jehovah know this I notice some of y'all are acting hoe'ish
I keep it true but you can't handle my words
Absurd women, pretty pigment, if you sell then you're heard
The scary thing is that there's puppets in this game
Words to be explained
Disclaiming that there's sides chosen
Bitch all my eyes open
Coping through the life I was given
I battle my sin and my pigment say I'm Catholic religion but pray like I'm Christian
I need to keep my sight on the vision that Father envisioned but
I would trade the world
Just for the pleasure
I would trade the world
Just for the pleasure
They want my ghost
They want my ghost
They want my ghost
They want my ghost
They know that God is close
And taggin' toes consistent to pussy and money altercations
Wisdom in my spirit you hear it
Rewind the track it's flagrant
Fouler than the whistle from death His imaged depressed
Suppressed by the liquor and sex don't keep me compressed
The stress bottles up when the fear distorting your spirit
I hear it but they be laughing like inferno just a minute
I hear it so I be rapping but ashamed to apprehend it
My spirit be feeling torment when I sleep and I don't get it
Insomnia, static, most traumatic
They in our heads
The paralysis only emblematic
To something big
We enslaved cause our masters diplomatic
That's what it is
This won't change because all our minds distracted
This 4 DUH KIDZ

Lots in world is not ideal
Every polaroid is unique, unreplicable technique
Unpredictable light leak, or a stupid looking, friend
You can never predict, the pulling beauty I seek
A depictable snapshot of time not at its peak
Someone snapped you with their phone and wrapped it a gift
Aint as fun and as rewarding as knapped polaroid lift
Grown to know the misfit, had done discording adrift
Will avoid the show of havoc that's distorting my swift
I ain't disowning the nift, admit it's got its own use
Youthful artists out there who have shown the truth
The ones uncouth and alarmist, compromise our clarity
Man, I swear to god, today's a polarized reality
Memories fly away, nowadays
It seems, like nothing's real to me
We will turn back time and see
The world as it is in film
Memories fly away, nowadays
It seems, like nothing's real to me
We will turn back time and see
The world as it is in film

The god is fucking back
Top of the game still wack
Deranged and strange on a track
I am your mage al buy your wage with racks
Cross off the spastics
Not very democratic
But when am here that's it
Don't need no other artists
Dictator cos I am the hardest
Death to all you troubled minors
And that's coming from a fucking fifer
Fickle and brittle couldn't hold up in a cypher
Fool go back to school for these lyrics you can't decipher
Death to the abortion that's distorting the game
Guess you can call me an anti lifer

All my disciples follow me
Not any type of that can fucking stop me
Name a god they wish they were all me
Least I, least I, least I get shit done
Come to my street get your shit turned
Spun and burned you must succumb
Rid the negativity it only supports hostility
You better start praying to me
Because there ain't no possibility you're ever gonna get rid of me
Taking over ain't a probability it's bored in to the earths core that Ryoto's
To wipe the floor and bolt the door to anybody 
Who doesn't wanna end up gore
Al take on a thousand blades like fucking Hodor 
And won't even be tired like Thors fore in a sore war 
So hold that fucking door
Better hold that fucking door
Hold that, hold that door
Better hold that fucking door
Better hold that fucking door for Ryoto you must

I bring the destruction
Screaming please don't hurt him
But al take his trust and rip his guts from him
It's a must that I cut his nuts from him
It's a must that you entrust that I only lust when I can't hear the talking
The voices madden me
It's a touch down but my heads a tragedy
Me and the team got that alchemy
There's nothing that could outbalance me in this entire fucking galaxy
Not even Gamora's fucking blade
Within the clutch of my whole waid the whores are over 
Because lyricism ain't no fucking dying trade
Welcome to industrialised
The place where you just can't be disguised
Only truth in here cos I'm that guy
No bullshit just bars so don't skip
Don't do it get banned quick
Keep the song on and just let it spaz
Let go of that anger that you can't hold any langer
Don't wait to green, go on red cos fuck that fucking amber
Don't need to get ready for shit
Born ready to always spit
As soon as I lace these drums it's like the coke has already hit
Because I can't sit still because I just can't, just can't, just can't quit
I just can't, just can't, just can't fucking quit

[Verse 2]
Remember when radio was how we got the news, instead of media distorting the truth. The food was cheaper and healthier too, because people worked a farm instead of acting Iike they live in a zoo.

These inner eyes reveal what's within
Ambition I'm eager to tend
Infatuation wins
Without a pathway to an end
Caught in between
I'm blind yet I see
The faces I'm leaving behind
The tension pulls and winds
Waiting for the right design
Break the binds to my chamber
Deaf to the voices that formed me
Everyone is a stranger
Their echoes dim and distorting
I've seen the others turn their heads and rest their eyes
But I'll be more, show them more
I've had a taste of what it takes to win the prize
I'm reaching for
I'm ready for what I'll endure
The ends justify more than I realized
A small sacrifice
Fragments life
Consumed in the fire
The conquest of mind
Any barriers that remain will fall
As I build this pathway unabated
Compounding understanding,
Funneling reason into the final pieces
Demanding an image created.

I got that good trade, sheet laid, inspect it with a keen blade
High grade, vendor paid, enabling these escapades
Damn shame, only one for every fourteen days
Won't complain, understand it's gotta be this way
Clear as day, only fruitful as a getaway
Out the fray, peace of mind like it's a holiday
Cast away, from the issues I had yesterday
Today's the day, let's cut it up and get it underway
Left hand geeking, right arm pulsing
Both legs tweaking, pleasure engulfing
Been a moment since the drop now
Checking clocks, no idea how it's been an hour and fifteen
Minutes racing, got no doubt
About the state I'm existing in, but what the hell am I shooting for
Body saying it's irrelevant, mind pleading for a pinch more
Deep breath, count to four
Spare a bit, open up the door
Beyond where I once sailed before
Out where I can't see the shore, yeah

You've come so far, utilizing the bizarre
Now tell me who you are
Just tell me who you are
Where you've been is still of note
But ahead lies the remote
Stand tall, morale evoked
Plunge in, proceed to float (watch me float)
Watch me float
Watch me float
Watch me float
In this ocean, everlasting sea
In this headspace, finding who I'll be (watch me float)
Watch me float
Watch me float
Watch me float
In this ocean, everlasting sea
In my mind now letting these thoughts run free

Eight in the evening to six in the morning
The sleep that I'm losing ain't really important
I care for advice and I'm heeding the warnings
My number one got me if I'm nonconforming
I looked in the mirror and saw I was morphing
The walls and the curtains already distorting
A different reality through my eyes (careful now, the anxiety's coursing)
Took a deep breath, feeling somewhat alright
Haven't eaten in ten hours, yet still I got no appetite
Still I'm eager for the answers, still I'm searching for the light
Formulating all I need, guarantee my future shining bright
Brighter than ever so every endeavor make me want to live it forever
I feel it wherever, perceive it whenever, don't matter if I'm under pressure
Play my hand confident, complement every move, gotta make it all clever
Ensure that I'll find my own way before I'm drowning in the never
I think to myself as I land, second by second the pleasure deescalate
Back to the apartment, I'm nearing exhaustion, the clock saying that it's no longer late
Left hand feeling numb, right arm feeling heavy
Legs shuffling in quite a feeble state
Collide with the mattress, pull up on the covers
The end of a journey you know imma emulate
Yeah imma emulate

You've come so far, utilizing the bizarre
Now tell me who you are
Just tell me who you are
Where you've been is still of note

Plunge in, proceed to float (watch me float)
Watch me float
Watch me float
Watch me float
In this ocean, everlasting sea
In this headspace, finding who I'll be (watch me float)
Watch me float
Watch me float
Watch me float
In this ocean, everlasting sea
In my mind now letting these thoughts run free

Another moment lost in the tide
Feels like I'll be here forever
Minutes twist into days, and days bleed into weeks
A year could pass before I blink
And I won't realize until it's too late
My only safety is ignorance

Answer probably no

I gotta get up to get it
Even more so because we independent
Your industry plants dry out, everything given
I don't need to the fake ones distorting the vision, bitch

I gotta get up and hustle to get it
They think I ain't working cause it's been a minute
But see I'm a perfectionist, all my work diligent
So I appreciate your patience till the album is finished

When the plague of self hate
Is no longer a weight so great
Push you to kill one another
When we put a stop to false charity
That gives with one hand and
Bombs with the other
When the IMF and World Bank
Along with their puppets
No longer strangle our nations
When the invaders don't have military bases
In so many places
When the jail cells are not
Packed with black backs
And the gats and the crack
Are no longer factors
When we celebrate true self-determination
Not a few token bit part actors
When the truth is told and there is
The dignity to remember the dead
Because as long as they
Are distorting the past
It means they have the intention
Of doing it again

How many lives have we lost to the Maangamizi
It's way bigger than the pain that
I place on the CD
If I told you all the truth
Would you really believe me?
