[Verse] Paralytic lyricist, stingin em like a man o’ war Cannibalistic candor transforms you into an animorph These wolves in sheep’s clothing prone to triforce no Ganondorf When mammoth calibers travel you’ll gallop like a panicked horse Black anarchist amped off Jack Daniel’s swigs I’m magnanimous but i’ll snap and backhand ya kids Drag amateurs, bandwagoning on the phantom wind Take you up to the alter and sacrifice you like Stannis did My linguistic chattering patterns, fracture, shattering factions Burgeoning acumen’s magic so I just had to be massive Ravage, madness is tactless Callous, havoc enacted Flow corrosive tongue has been soakin in battery acid Biological anomaly, honor me, you heard right Stay hydrated because my veins are pumpin liquid thermite Breathing is lethal cerebrum equal to mass weaponry Your seeding is weaklings need to be preaching vasectomy [Hook] I’m on a feeding frenzy the urge it comes from within I’m on a feeding frenzy the urge it comes from within And nothing can satiate me once the hunger begins And nothing can satiate me once the hunger begins I’m on a feeding frenzy the urge it comes from within I’m on a feeding frenzy the urge it comes from within And nothing can satiate me once the hunger begins And nothing can satiate me once the hunger begins [Verse] Gimme a microphone and i’m graftin it to my flesh The rabid ravenous maverick where pain and passion connects Hazardous gasps when I spaz it’s like matches are in my sweat While you babblin average tactics i’m practically at ya neck Musical mercenary tracks and trebles I strangulate Leavin the torture rack at eye level so you can name your fate Sonic shrapnel attacks dudes Bashing faces and venues, lacerating some sinew, smashing basic pretend rules Velocity is major it’s grazes you and your skins bruised Saliva drops are sickle blades, fit to flay, when they ricochet Coroner amazed hittin the stage whenever I rip or slay Swing a verbal meat cleaver... remnants of bloody mess Bring emphatic text i’m the rapper that you should study next Classes dedicated to deconstructing my blitzkriegs Dash or fly Passersby ask for rides on the back of slipstreams [Hook] I’m on a feeding frenzy the urge it comes from within I’m on a feeding frenzy the urge it comes from within And nothing can satiate me once the hunger begins And nothing can satiate me once the hunger begins I’m on a feeding frenzy the urge it comes from within I’m on a feeding frenzy the urge it comes from within And nothing can satiate me once the hunger begins And nothing can satiate me once the hunger begins Ravenous

[Intro: Quote from Franz Fanon] Mastery of language affords remarkable power Everything can be explained to the people, on the single condition that you want them to understand [Verse] Determined this sermon is concernin a learned man I yearn for a turn to stand and furnish these earnest plans Jams gestate so they echo across the landscape Quickening is coming the catalyst for enhanced rates Equipped with weaponized sound to combat the malfeasance My style’s breathin, reachin for miles while you crowd pleasin Virtuous, assertive our motto is never bend or break We resonate respect you won’t give us, we intend to take Establishment won’t offer support until it’s posthumous Yall peddlin amphetamine i’m tryna push some proper sense I keep the penance pure, griot or soothsayer No army but generally they rankin my moves major Want this text to physically greet you like facsimiles Ahead of my breadth gotta cope swiggin Black Hennessy But I follow in their steps, know that they have been through there So my Ode to the Iconoclasts resembles hymnal prayer [Bridge: Quote from Aime Cesaire] A civilization that chooses to close its eyes to its most crucial problems is a stricken civilization A civilization that uses its principles for trickery and deceit is a dying civilization [Verse] Lay my hands on mics and they call it marvels of medicine This midwestern mastiff is after dogged development Steady carvin an edifice, deadly bars in my rhetoric Ready, every scrawl that you saw is all for this leverage Reversin polarity maybe I can still change the tides Far from holy man but I know that these tracks are sanctified Immortal it’s important, I live longer than Saint Germain Cortical acrylic each sentence aimin to paint ya brain Good intentions lead to perdition but not stoppin me I learned that true wealth is in self or the vox populi Cogent with my word so i’ll contribute to the negritude Even if it’s only observed by a nascent few Now i’m thinking bout Frantz, Aime, and Malcolm We see these efforts elite now will they finally announce em? But I follow in their steps, know that they have been through there So my Ode to the Iconoclasts resembles hymnal prayer [Outro: Quote from Malcolm X] I for one believe that if you give people a thorough understanding of what confronts them and the basic causes that produce it, they’ll create their own program, and when the people create a program, you get action

[Verse] Threw on my Jordan 1's, yo it's time to take the scenic route Starvin Marvin artist, no ends to spend on Yeezy Boost Sennheisers on my neck i'm tryna duck the evening news Wonder why I struggle so hard when others seem to cruise Tired, wonderin if I'll ever get to rest now If it's difficulties building my character then i'm fleshed out One day i'm feeling appalled, check out my net worth The next I can't help but to bawl about my best work The laughter i've caused, the happiness logged by wisdom I'm actually far, don't have to be hard so listen Everyone's journey is different, that is some scary stuff Let your creativity flow don't feel so levied up This is preparation for the stardom that you're soon to see Diamond in the rough, it's time to appraise your jewelry Failure isn't certain it's all about who you choose to be The possibility of success, you know it's soothing me Trying to raise the vibrations up with just a pen and pad Know that my innocence is lost, I can not win it back But if this touches one person then I am content with that Maybe that is the reason i'm breathin or convinced to rap So, every time I feel like life is tryna pass me by Realize that stressin is adolescent or it's asinine Mission is etched in stone, you know that you are packing rhymes No regrets, no need to leave you can't go back in time (back in time) And still coming for the title The journey's not a straight line, nope it is a spiral

[Verse] I had to step back and analyze all my thoughts Understand the bigger picture and learn about the gestalt Lady Luck created obstacles for me that I was meant to face Now I kiss her, cavi on my tongue teach her expensive taste If home is where the heart is, i'm renovatin my mental space Archons are the architects, instigators of senseless hate This system is deceptive quit telling me I should integrate Pravda programs want to snuff the spirit you insulate Vitality inside of me burning bright as the Luxor Beam I need to transcend, move past having a lust for things Stuck between, humble and thinking how could they touch the king? Stick up boys after ya threads, I scream it's just Supreme! Life's a race and sometimes I feel like we lost the relay Wonder how we break the spell on those in urban decay Each day, civil in a world that wants me savage But I gotta stay afloat and never succumb to the madness [Hook] These are the Lifestylez uh... of Poor and Dangerous They took the holy ghost out the hood and blamed the angel dust This game is all about your position so get your angles up Made room for huddled masses, I guess the rules ain't the same for us These are the Lifestylez uh... of Poor and Dangerous Caught in a cycle we exchangin our souls for fame and stuff Good die young, don't be innocent when the chambers bust And i'm just tryna spread a few embers before my flame is snuffed [Verse] Music's in my soul I can hear the awe Most of the climb is simply learning not to fear the fall Don't let em trick you into thinking that your will is small It's probably best we huddle up, you know I feel for y'all Ubuntu's how we fight back without the steel involved I'm fielding calls, from anyone that will stand with me Ready to face calamity, braced with my faith and family Hustle's the foundation i'll patiently make the canopy [Hook] These are the Lifestylez uh... of Poor and Dangerous They took the holy ghost out the hood and blamed the angel dust This game is all about your position so get your angles up Made room for huddled masses, I guess the rules ain't the same for us These are the Lifestylez uh... of Poor and Dangerous Caught in a cycle we exchangin our souls for fame and stuff Good die young, don't be innocent when the chambers bust And i'm just tryna spread a few embers before my flame is snuffed

[Verse] The winds of change threw me around just like A Paper weight But class was in session professing that I would make the grade Went from dulling down senses to being sharp as a razor blade From staggering through nights to diving into these theta waves Center my anima ever it seems my mind is finished Even if i'm blinded, in time i'll still find the vision Break the situation down, particles like some minor physics Scribing my gift until that energy in my spine is lifted Igniting incense, introspection that's the format Watch man, the smoke is changing it's face so call it Rorschach Vipassana, feel the impetus swirling within my thorax Plug into the aethernet, reset download some more facts Peering through holes inside the space rhyme continuum Reverberant Om shakti, the power I feel is genuine
6.
[Verse] Automation, regurgitated news to harm the nation Reverberated views are tools used to guard the stations Hard to face it, but if we don't take it to the basics Operation stays in place with hatred as the basis Never knew my IQ would increase by losing TV Makes sense as the spin cycles are constantly on repeat CNN says the NSA is here to protect GTFO or be KIA these acronyms gone be our death Tabloids are always near to assuage With the sphere of influence, you’ll adhere to a cage Forcible debt or the imparting of fear to the slaves You feel inured so the scandals appear to amaze Entertainment tells us breed so we feed the machine Sex tapes, fake beefs, we have no reason to lead This revolution won’t be televised, I pray that it’s soon Until then your prime objective: obey and consume [Hook] Automata Ain’t exempt because your income or your alma mater Different sentiments but still we’re just the common fodder Infamous the lies they’ll feed us and will call em honest It’s dissonance but we ignore it for these lauded products [Verse] Sacrificin sanity for the ratings they must accrue Corruptible, no substitute for the subterfuge suffered through Hip hop was the last bastion so they infected it Injected with subliminal messages backmaskin Depleted vision and hedonism distracts masses Succumb you’re haphazard, a typical black slackin Interest lies in menticide beamed from cellular obelisks Ominous monoliths useful source for all reconnaissance With force ratiocination on course for abolishment We barely cognizant still Wetiko attacks our common sense Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars, wavelengths are parasitic It’s apparent that they are virulent if you dare to listen Brought us devolution and intellectual pogroms Then frame your history as reducible to a montage Married to the beast, nuptials born in sin Cleanest conflicts are the ones that you don’t know you’re in

[Verse] Heavy is the head wearing crowns, I need a neck brace Said our melanin is malignant we shouldn't test fate Every time I simply seek out a metamorphosis I can't graduate, and I shatter like ghetto porcelain Tune in to politics, to be disconnected from nature Ousted outcast, refuse to imbue the Matrix The Land of the Free it is actually quite satirical Cruel and unusual how their tactics are psycho-spiritual Antiquated textbooks that’s a culture's seroquil Seeped into the ecosphere now our sanity's nearin nil Overseers veto legislation from the well intentioned Claim to be in sync with the people, but yet they failed to mention The contaminated water source If we commit atrocities then that is just the par for course On the pulpit runoff at the mouth for voting populace Metal detectors in schools can't detect lead in the aqueducts [Hook] Written in the lettering soon as I get a head of steam I can't fly, i'm weighed down by both my leaded wings I can't fly, i'm weighed down by both my leaded wings I can't fly, i'm weighed down by both my leaded wings We should be gangbangers and pushers instead of vetting kings Now we migrate cross wastelands call us the bedouins Now we migrate cross wastelands call us the bedouins It was pipe dreams when we simply wished for better things [Verse] Yellow journalists claim our situation’s innocuous Paid shills rep the media, truth is apocrypha I often ask, “what’s the point of a referendum if the whole entire system is stricken with despotism?” Yearning to learn some discernment, because it’s the best decision War of attrition, so mischievous that’s why I stress provisions Sleepless nights but it is easy to rest on pessimism Complacency, ingratiation is safe so let’s forgive them Our exuberance is palpable, they leech it from us Willingly swap it for houses and other creature comforts Calculated efforts and diminished sensibilities Bric-a-brac make us forget we’re amidst an enemy Astute have recognized, Flint serves as the template For a new kind of policy they’ll probably instate Fascists will purport to be Biblical but their path isn’t Pastor’s hands can’t pull from you up from this baptism [Hook] Written in the lettering soon as I get a head of steam I can't fly, i'm weighed down by both my leaded wings I can't fly, i'm weighed down by both my leaded wings I can't fly, i'm weighed down by both my leaded wings We should be gangbangers and pushers instead of vetting kings Now we migrate cross wastelands call us the bedouins Now we migrate cross wastelands call us the bedouins It was pipe dreams when we simply wished for better things

[Verse] Big city, no name Anonymous like Guy Fawkes The streets are a monster, get swallowed up by the sidewalks Actions speak louder than words, don't care what I thought And any failures penned on my resume they are my fault Peep the on feet as I decimate the concrete Soul of a monarch you can't replicate my strong speech Perforated pages so I meditate through ennui Celebrated cadence known to devastate these bomb beats Even Nietzche is jealous of how I use these euphemisms to describe my true position as the only ubermensch Superman talk is kryptonite for you lame brains And word is bond, i'm just tryna drill it into yo mainframe Soliloquy of destruction from insight my pen writes, i've been like, let me force feed you info from out my dendrites Uplink to the king to get a glimpse of the status quo, sabbatical cuz my mind meld is disruptin your data flow [Verse] Concussive explosion, seismic waves whenever I stroll in Illustrious no need for discussion status emboldened Amongst the greatest, he's sacred so just behold him No nepotism, no skeptics, critics or faux friends Atrocity Exhibition might as well call me Danny Brown You second class rappers are only getting my hand me downs Giant smoking green stalks, jacked up on magic beans Livewire lyrics i'm spitting nothing but static cling Divine cataclysm when minds design cymatic visions Bridge the gap Rhymes in time defined by shattered schisms Sound check mutilation leaving crime scenes of battered rhythms Verbal bounty hunter so you notice that I had to get em Old heads big him up, he's the next man so stick to him Slickest in the vicinity similar to bitumen Infinitely shady after murdering some instruments Predatory pressure he's iller than all the Hish Qu Ten
9.
[Verse] Transmitting universal frequencies like lightning rods Psychedelic sacraments maybe I spent the night with God I'm a phenom so to evolve is natural, understand? Falling down a rabbit hole into the fractal wonderland Entheogenic premonitions got me one with animism Walks across the Bifrost ameliorate my damaged wisdom As I try to find more to existence I solemnly stare at reflections in primordial liquid Spirit guides graded me, heads atop the board of admissions I gotta find the others leery but I swore to enlist them Had to kill my ego I knew that’s a smart casualty Sages critique journeys as if it’s an art gallery Sommelier is standing there handing out cups of Kykeon Enlightened ones intimate, vindicate bout my life beyond What they see upon the surface As I ditch conformity my intentions become emergent [Hook] Deciphering the Cosmic Giggle, really I could use a laugh I need a travel agent that can guide me through my future's past This world is about visages but first we remove our masks Had lost the luster but finally i’m renewed at last Deciphering the Cosmic Giggle, really I could use a laugh I need a travel agent that can guide me through my future's past This world is about visages but first we remove our masks Had lost the luster but finally i’m renewed at last [Verse] Tracers leaving imprints of instances from my last life Brightest memories penetrate darkness like a flashlight All my anxieties, woes, and fears tend to evaporate Escaping the evil this human strife can exacerbate No qualms as it goes on and strips me down to the codons As holes spawn, the photons stitch and tether like bosons All started from vibration i’m gracious to hear the slow song Galactic flambeau or a nova notice I glow strong Category of mage, from malice are stories made Seeing shadows of former selves allegories and caves Awakened to a dirge it’s sad that I know this tune Free-floatin in antiquity anguish is over soon The verge of resurrection see semblance in lotus blooms Metamorphosis complete and I did it with no cocoon Relinquished stupefacients, obtained elucidation These thoughts are nightmares, ill prepared but he choose to brave em I studied vigorously to help me unleash the man inside And unearthed the secret teachings of priests and shamanic tribes Destroyed the evil feelings that’s dormant they had to go Received the reverie ahead of me, formless from afterglow Suddenly destruction possesses a kind of levity Since I know that’s part of the process no place i’d rather be Now I can conceptualize insight of fallen monks Simultaneously nothing and everything all at once [Hook] Deciphering the Cosmic Giggle, really I could use a laugh I need a travel agent that can guide me through my future's past This world is about visages but first we remove our masks Had lost the luster but finally i’m renewed at last Deciphering the Cosmic Giggle, really I could use a laugh I need a travel agent that can guide me through my future's past This world is about visages but first we remove our masks Had lost the luster but finally i’m renewed at last

[Verse] No time for bereavement as we the first of a breathing breed That’s my reasoning so i’ll seize it until the seething leaves Seemingly able to glean what’s beneath the scenery Eager he’s seen the rebirth in a flap of phoenix wings Defying scientific laws by walking through walls and some rifts Said it couldn’t exist they scoffed and then called it a myth Witnessin my scriptures yo they’re often the cause for a switch A spectacle just ta view an arsonist awesome as this Speech that I repeat is like rabbinical speak I am elite and seek to surpass the pinnacle’s peak The innermost peace enables all these venerable feats With mineral strength i’ll show you how the chemicals link Listen the diction i’m spitting shifts into torrents of lightning I’ve been blessed to ingest more than the Ormus of Midas Enormous endorphins coursin force my performance to heighten Was an orphan now i’ve morphed and become a warrior psychic Sub-zero dubs near cold as a boreal cypher Morbid how these conformists are often dormant and lifeless Their lore is the virus seductive as the chorus of sirens Stand strong in solidarity this war is divisive My psyche’s battle made from extended stays in Abu Ghraib Leave it all behind so Induce amnesia with alize Hellish visions dance in my mindscape like Cabaret So be warned or see scorn when my consciousness calibrates [Hook] I’m Transliminal when i’m usin advanced mental tools Only get my best so I breakthrough the bland finitude Momentous motivator he movin up sans intervals Plant seeds of perfection they huggin this man’s genitals I’m Transliminal when i’m usin advanced mental tools Only get my best so I breakthrough the bland finitude Momentous motivator he movin up sans intervals Plant seeds of perfection they huggin this man’s genitals [Verse] Immaculate conception in my brain it features genesis I worked hard for a state of mind that’s equanimous Graduated from an apprenticeship to infiniteness If elevation’s like a film then trust my sequel’s imminent Power to the people for humans and fellow sentients I skipped the academics but schmooze with intelligentsia So methodical with the knowledge a classic connoisseur My opus prodigal like my father was Ashurbanipal Encapsulate the macrocosm in my Diencephalon Supernova notions his violent fire is pressin on Plasmic paragraphs so please prepare for the onslaught Infinitely Bioshockin emcees call me Comstock Viscous lava lyrics unearthin em sublingually Each assertion convertin the surface of what seems to be Eatin tachyons, spittin out altered realities Can’t comprehend it so you mark it as fallacy Start of maladies was when instead of gawkin you challenged me But you barely get your point across like awkward analogies This plastique pastiche blasts peeps into last week Vandalize em or smash beats, tantalizin as flashed heat Rebel chewin up levels, I settled for Brass teeth Don’t provoke him his smokin focus explosive as gas leaks The verbs, tracks or words spat melt you down like tank a lime They’ll stitch you back together and call you ersatz of Frankenstein [Hook] I’m Transliminal when i’m usin advanced mental tools Only get my best so I breakthrough the bland finitude Momentous motivator he movin up sans intervals Plant seeds of perfection they huggin this man’s genitals I’m Transliminal when i’m usin advanced mental tools Only get my best so I breakthrough the bland finitude Momentous motivator he movin up sans intervals Plant seeds of perfection they huggin this man’s genitals

[Verse] Greatest realization man can have is that he's been a God Elevate to 5D consciousness without a synagogue Gimme purpose, pen, and paper i'll spark the renaissance Gotta carry on the tradition it's like i'm Vinnie Paz Peeking pass the veil, i'm feeling like Nostradamus Knowledge is bolstered, token potent smokin with brahmins Pack spliffs, the praxis, throwing up a black fist, nightmare on wax i'm killing the floor without a track list Aether spitter, word of God contained inside of every breath, Notoriously B.I.G deal when I think about Life After Death Always been too big for my britches bathin in calderas Bulletproof rhymes they know that my styles ferrous Beatific visions whenever I go and seize the mic Walking symbol of strength but no I am not Jesus Christ Brightest patina, auric field known as the purest, spiritually starved these demons are malnourished [Hook: Kanye West] Everybody says "who does he think he is?" I just told you who I thought I was! A God! I just told you, that's who I think I am Would it been better if I had a song that said "I am a nigga?" Or if I had a song that said "I am a gangsta?" Or if I had a song that said "I am a pimp?" All those colors and patinas fit better [Verse] I did my pilgrimage across the 810 instead of Mecca Energetic alchemy, create the wave they call me Tesla Game changers stand up, tired of terror's rule Study koans, parables rarer than new arab jewels Hit the spatial plane, cruisin around like Ferris Bueller I gotta inner, understand the wisdom but the truth hurts The end is an illusion, so no I don't fear it Irks them that God's face is bald, black, and bearded Ascended master, prana is leaking out through my fingertips Performed at the gates of Elysium, yo it seems legit Choirs and celestial features because the scene was lit And anyone who don't believe it will probably leave remiss It's seamless, how i'm deemed to be genius, but still i've seen abyss Mercurial mind, movements are murkier than the evenin mist Meditation for better statements, I have achieved some bliss Hagiographic when i'm rappin but i'm fiend on this [Hook: Kanye West] Everybody says "who does he think he is?" I just told you who I thought I was! A God! I just told you, that's who I think I am Would it been better if I had a song that said "I am a nigga?" Or if I had a song that said "I am a gangsta?" Or if I had a song that said "I am a pimp?" All those colors and patinas fit better, on a person like me right?
12.
[Verse] Facin sacred realizations wrangling concepts Hypnopompic knowledge his providence is a calm breath The testament, phased through the nexus to reach the precipice Tastes that were decadent couldn’t take the place of a recompense Excellent, developed maturity from my anguish Explain this, can we discuss the transient with language? Voyaging to find permanence in ephemerality Search resulted in the most high gradually grabbing me Armed with nothing but faith and a bit of tourmaline I traverse ethereal landscapes as there’s more to find Polymathic action conductor, conduit, benefactor In the midst racket still never become a simulacrum Utilize shikantaza to envision frameworks Asking metaphysical questions about who came first? The author or the parchment, the cosmos or the conscious? Either way, preternatural presence should be exalted [Hook] I represent, investment in essence or deeper conscious Internal compass tuned to Procession of Equinoxes Every test’s a lesson my message stop seekin nonsense Every test’s a lesson my message stop seekin nonsense I represent, investment in essence or deeper conscious Internal compass tuned to Procession of Equinoxes Every test’s a lesson my message stop seekin nonsense Every test’s a lesson my message stop seekin nonsense [Verse] This life is like a delicate waltz And the righteous contribute to it with their relevant thoughts The present has brought, opportunities to see patterns here Reconciliation the overture of my latter years Intrigued when I reflect on the man that I used to be And how expansion is still so synonymous with eulogy Disintegration, reformation, quantum entanglement Watching the procedure it blossoms and becomes salient An almost ineffable notion But sometimes division can produce acceptable quotients The goal is not to reject or perfect your emotions But to accept, adjust, and profess their importance That’s the saddest truth, and it almost sounds like a platitude Watch what happens shed envy and incorporate gratitude Personage reassembles at new points of reality Then I lucidly ruminate on structure of galaxies [Hook] I represent, investment in essence or deeper conscious Internal compass tuned to Procession of Equinoxes Every test’s a lesson my message stop seekin nonsense Every test’s a lesson my message stop seekin nonsense I represent, investment in essence or deeper conscious Internal compass tuned to Procession of Equinoxes Every test’s a lesson my message stop seekin nonsense Every test’s a lesson my message stop seekin nonsense
