Drugstore 02:01
lyrics
Sho shine bright depths darks as night Sight stretch for days made to start fights Spectrum man Full pole to pole Excavated soul Grim reaping what I sow Leading em to grow Tell me what you know Question what you don’t And Teach em how to glow Leave behind to show Breadcrumbs where to go When one choose to leave He proceeds 🎵 alone Hold me I’m so lonely Iiiii We together on this one Forever isolated till we fade And then it’s done Don’t ever forget run To what is true and never away from You helping em wake up By you breaking thru Proving that it’s made up I tell ya it ain’t luck You are what you do Or you don’t and stay fucked Set your soul on fire 🔥 Go on make ya day Focus on them things they can’t take away Like skill and will And cultivate a love so strong it kills And time your fills Or rather fill your time With climbing hills building ladders on bridges I know how the wind gets at the peaks but still Lonely It’s so lonely Ooooooo We together but separate Bad as it seems And as good as it can get Lonely Im so lonely Iiii Remember I meant it Life ain’t a dream it’s A means to invent it And isn’t cemented change everything that you’ve givin Attention Set your soul on 🔥 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

What it is 01:41
lyrics
***It may be what it is They say that is I feel like it isn’t Listen, I never met a man in my life who ain’t do something he wish That he didn’t like... Slip right at the finish or fucking up the business or caught up in the image crushed underneath his limits or listening to critics or giving in to cynics when they spin it like they spin it so it seems we not winning Please can’t you see that we in need of al strong more heartily harvested artistry Fuck they go on and on about the party these money hungry targeting The clumsy lumber ardently Wake wake up “listen yo it’s time to wake up” Break up break up “ you might have to break away” Make up make up “ go on make your mind up And call it what you will And learn to deal I don’t kill time I fill reinvent the wheel strap it to my back and lug it up the hill chuck it from the hip like frisbee this that shit they miss me or this new who is he he so real Well I’ll be honest It’s all I’m really good for Keep it what it is While you gone out to look for it Anytime. HMU. W/what you find. Compare notes with mine. Let’s talk about the climb. Muse about the rise As people recognize The economic ties To government lies It’s all in your mind They say and it may be But these times deserve Some kind of explaining It’s what it is. It ain’t what it’s not I knows it’s hard to swallow with the leader we got His pilot set to auto and we need him to stop And I been Livin all out To Crawl outta this box Like It may be what it is They say that is I feel like it isn’t Listen, I never met a man in my life who ain’t do something he wish That he didn’t

Embracing Strange (ITMFA part3) 01:58
lyrics
***Now they Been selling that To hell with facts I been tracking down The part of me that fell through cracks You could ask around From the jealous cats To the fellas that’ll tell ya flat Out before ya ask ShoDog go off on a free like no cost Honestly so lost gravity help me float off Head in the clouds You could feel the toe tap Old fat joke that Claim we need go back You can’t make again Something that’s never been A better fucking plan Is to bring to an end Instead of selling that To hell with facts He look head to toe Like you know he smell of trash And he got hella cash But he can’t buy no clue Or find a good enough reason Not to lie to you Yes we’re used it Covert interests in Corrupt leadership But what’s different We believed in it Tho greedy rich They told better lies About the fucks they seem to give Instead of selling that to hell with facts Actually after writing that I have to ask Are we not better off With this pathetic lost Menace boss? stupid Ass, Useless as the fumes That gas produce...ing fast Future crash. News harassing mutes the mass & limits who slips thru the cracks. This loser ass Mutant is Dooming mad.. a brooding spaz of sewer trash. A human rash proving that the movement can! No longer wait The time is now We all know why Gotta find out how Instead buying that Goodbye to facts Try and ask, when you see smoke, Where the fire at? The stronger change Their mind somehow Embracing strange Replacing doubt

Sun King's Day 02:56
lyrics
They used to view me crazy Fanatic Conspirator Memories clear as day Still hearing their Disbelief Pointing they finger in the mirror turns out they nerves sprout and learned how They inferior Sure, I’m all about revenge And this sword does get less action then the pen but My family and friends are not the ones to blame They got caught up just the same Brought up in this game never asked to play Don’t know where to go and feel they gotta stay Being real I gotta say This for me Much as they History can’t repeat Cause I’m know and always change Like what can I say? Your man got range and can’t be contained As I wa I remain In fact I better and Also more strange Sho Usher thru the pain And roll out the read for The Sun Kings Day Waking up ain’t waking up when waking up alone We got to get together on this Forevers the same as never until everyone is Waking up ain’t waking up when waking up alone We got to get together on this Nothing will get better until everyone is One thing to remember with endeavors like this Help yourself and everyone Whoever it is And never forget It’s better to be lost than to not give a shit Waking up and waking up when waking up alone Find your why and anyhow will do It ain’t the money your becoming tho it’s hard to be somebody Find your why and any how will do Find your why and any how will do Find your why and any how will do Make sure you’re ready for the sunkings day Waking up ain’t waking up when waking up alone We got to get together on this You’ve got to start this this shit whoever you is

Dig Up (Produced by Mskrp.1) 02:41
lyrics
If I said it I more than meant it I invent it Ready for whatever getting Better by the minute And it (beat) Really don’t make A difference If you is into it Or ain’t Innit a shame lame copy game Still getting fame Least I came Ol mr get up When fed up Sho “the setup” Hold it down & Don’t let up And my squad Is too fuckin large Dealt this hand So we play these cards At odds? They don’t kill But they got more skill Then y’all got bills Ya don’t understand Prolly never will When you this ill It is it’s own thrill When you this great It’s ok to fill the plate Take all want but Eat all you take Don’t fake control What do you want And do you even know? Take your time It’s been too long Now go ahead and shine Turning all the lite Inside of you on Out from the darkness Doubt in ya heart is Where you start when You dig up You ever notice how’s been? How we wining And what we call a win? Or what we’re doing and The effects within idiot running it dumb get dumber N Come to wonder if It is what it is Seems it doesn’t fit Dreams is budgeted Means you stuck in it He don’t fucking give Not a god damn shit So it’s all the same Lies more blatant All that changed It’s all a game We gone get played anyway But some would say It’s sunshine and summer days means to say I understate How much of it is what we make Of it Sure I love it Much as I hate it Oh I can’t lie Life is gift you ain’t asked to get You ain’t have to live But you have to die And I’m just passing by And can’t find more fun than asking why I’m just passing thru Like every other day I feel brand new Now that’s the truth Soon passing on now passing Thru Well shit you too Just do you and go get brand new

From the Void 02:20
lyrics
Its Simply infectious Tasteful & electric W/Subtleties lovely Whimsical & eccentric Misery contested Tho Visibly interested In gimmick laden images Bridging the intersections Limits been accepted By idiots infected Isn’t it inventive How we live with no incentive Catch em red handed He Claim he never meant it And worse it never happened The Accusations resented!? Damn This must Mars homie And ain’t no sign a life where ever you Are Bowie Man is a killer his will is villain truth Talking heads swill produce walking dead living proof Oh! In case You didn’t know The BadMan go off The SunKing glow The ShoDog show off Show up an thrown down you already know what And how it’s bout to go down No sound: argument or noise Could jeopardize my poise Or make me lower my voice I hail from the void Means I got no choice But to aim high loftily Ain’t nothing you can offer me Ain’t shit you can do to me I sifted thru it musically Learned to see it beautifully well beyond the usually Forget what you knew of me Or live in rear view of me I grew until i split in two I am it n you and me Started out in a trance then Figured it out that we was meant To grow and advance Figured it out that every single moments a chance in which a man must chance if can manage new plans Sick in they mind and find ain’t nothing Wrong with what they doing Given us time to serve and watch the Planet burn to ruins Thinking an artist is a dime a dozen Unimportant no support When diving down digging deep or striving Forward Ughff I gotta move. more to this than just finding a groove. More than riches define you. I promise this: you been lied to. Oh I gotta grow. There’s more to this what you know. Important is more what you don’t. You snoreing if don’t thinks so.
