Abundant Bank
Persona must provide / then I decide to ride
For the future I’m / armed but only with this lie
Into the bank I slide / tellers tell they’re horrified
See the mask and eyes / now get this bag I’m live
Who levitated the track immensely / Cash had it static test me
Microphone keep it weepin’ gently / still intensely still this frenzy
Still this will is buildin’ hefty / top billin’ with the villain treachery
Thrill for the fill now an earful enemy / Chuck made a laid-back melody
Then combat when we back to the weaponry / back to the back to the back wall catchy
Never endin’ transcend intent see / 3 XL he excel mentally
Extra extra wit extra sensory / why they say that you flow allegedly
Go for the bag in my bag now heavy / step for the speed still sound like semi
Burstin’ through though arena empty / even won for the first already
Ready ready like rockin’ steady / he keep that be barely
Holdin’ never foldin’ his legacy / off the top spot right over edgy
Underground how the sound will bury / all exposure over trendy
Now I’m goin’ over backs so heady / severin’ with many cut machete
Not the size of the lies and envy / crew run done or a few run rarely
While you sleepin’ I’m keepin’ plenty / ill with the legibly deal contrary
Deadly wreck it beast in belly / champ for the planet now the belt that destiny bank!
Who run it triumphant
The whole style’s fully-funded
The total profile’s stunted

Abundant bank
At the carnival he on a roll / no preacher’s son but still got soul
Strong rhyme just to step to hold / bigger badder better bold
Carny army hardly sold / out on a bout on a route that’s old
Like little taste tasted take that gold / like yellow brick spit and he on the road
Risen listen lesson told / politicians probably polled
Ask would you rather scald or scold / Considerin’ this Cash is cold
Collapse matter status quo / no chit chat chatterin’ snatch that scroll
Mode is plannin’ need no code / I invite you to join this safe explode for bank!

Astro travel through air plane it’s the highest
Earth water fire or stylus to papyrus
Futuristic systems stealin’ wisdom with guidance
A force even off course of course persona pilots
Space age pirates bring change like a cashier
Grindin’ like in first gear God’s son like he Nasir
Cling on (w)rap all clear who is the boss
Stocks up and down down the sound deal with no losses bank!

Prowler Position
Now that I won stay on the run through no
Never been done this one man my crew so
More commas still drama grew though
What’s my persona I gotta stay true
Miles I run for Morales done for
Figure like four scorin’ eyes on these skies soared
Kick in the door or barricade raid the whole hoard
You check the scoreboard I run it back oh Lord
Wanted the new don the new dawn gon’ bring forth
Dusk busted everybody concussin’ the main source
Back to the front door who lookin’ out once more
Howl to the moon at high noon it’s too hardcore
Syllables and verses multi-layered pain darts
Unequivocal rhythmic kickin’ mythical strange thoughts
Thinkin’ how he begin now he bringin’ in the king’s course
Curse like a king sinned kingpin hold king’s court
Changin’ remorse is no code in veins lost
Leavin’ no stain boss never quit gale force
Purple the cowl cape escapes the laws claws
Release a memory then I be rain pours
Like the prowler scourerin’ devour long nights
Hidden in plain sight don’t forgive God might
Creepin’ will excite thiefin’ no bars tight
You know me sir I don’t ever quit star light
Like the prowler scourerin’ devour long nights
Hidden in plain sight don’t forgive God might
Creepin’ will excite thiefin’ no bars tight
You know me sir I don’t ever quit
Now I might lose one but it’s never a biggie
‘Cause it’s life after death but it’s never a diddy
Gritty tracks from way back back to rap city we
Epically inclined to Cotto combo prettily
Retro really console can sell bars
Future flowin’ cardio Mario is with a star
Then fire flower power sky hook it from far
Shots makin’ you look this all-star Jabbar I am
Like the prowler scourerin’ devour long nights
Hidden in plain sight don’t forgive God might
Creepin’ will excite thiefin’ no bars tight
You know me sir I don’t ever quit star light
What was that screamin’ nightmare’s a demon
Back against the wall withdraw the claws seethin’
Thinkin’ it’s a Banksy banks be perceivin’
Criminal threat bet assets get thieved then
Trace no leavin’ weave on a motorbike
With murder heard Yamaha you wanna fight
Thinkin’ it over lower the guard and life like
Fisk’ll stay flippin’ alliances star light
Oscorp gets battered I’ma beat scorpion handily
Tinkerer savagely Green Goblin tragedy
Back to reality this gauntlet mortality
Sinister six in the mix with brutality
Assess morality stresses flow gallantly
Ultimate reverse ionic pulse gravity I
Stay on the run mad at me
Is all this righteous or is all this blasphemy
Persona
Is all this righteous or is all this blasphemy
Persona
Is all this righteous or is all this blasphemy
Like the prowler scourerin’ devour long nights
Hidden in plain sight don’t forgive God might
Creepin’ will excite thiefin’ no bars tight
You know me sir I don’t ever quit star light
Like the prowler scourerin’ devour long nights
Hidden in plain sight don’t forgive God might
Creepin’ will excite thiefin’ no bars tight
You know me sir I don’t ever quit

Enduring Witness
Not tryin’ to hear the name called
But any little influence use it for the unequalled
Presence my commitment submittin’ like show and tell
No stadiums but craniums infants get rocked well
So spell the name right and pronounce the name right
It’s not Kanye but Kurupt and up and onsite
Milli monotone and cyclone Stallone then
Don’t really care what you wearin’ ma marone when
Phone home not alone you can check the basket
Eavesdrop and watch the style is too classic
All-black linen got the all-black fitted
Got the all-black kicks leaves them livid
You want credit bet I never was the fastest
But run it back on a track rappin’ you get lapped kid
Untapped the abstracted facts more willin’ and
Extracted like run this Lord’ll stay chillin’ and
Syllables spillin’ the ruler’s still Rick
Like aren’t you that old rapper chatter kill quick
It’s mixed with cryptic lyrics that still sever-er
Like none other ever-er say I have a plethora
Change like the weather-er or better than he ever dream
Don't mess with no less than verbally amphetamine
Or like gasoline or like plasma
Flow or crashin’ from proper grammar to propaganda
Memoranda mystery mythology
Sin and salvation redemptive any quality
Astronomy astrology the ethno to economy
Is this more pathology honestly my odyssey
Who you wanna be this endurin’ witness
Sharks get bitten what’s the chance or the coincidence
Endurin’ witness this endurin’ witness
Strive to survive now who’s livin’ with the wickedness
Off the balcony a minaret or precipice
Rhythm flip ‘em now the mission beginnin’ like Genesis
I mention this I mention this
Rhythm flip ‘em now the mission beginnin’ like Genesis
Endurin’ witness this endurin’ witness
Strive to survive now who’s livin’ with the wickedness
What is this slickness with quickness
Hurricane Carter trainin’ harder for the fitness
What is this spit this ridiculous
Hurricane Carter trainin’ harder for the fitness
Keep runnin’ or turn myself in
Whether selfish or not gotta save my own skin

Non grata Non grata

Raw Shank
Here’s a story from Raw Shank I call rank
You can’t come back check that and fall back
Fall back I
Proclaim off the top Joe stomp decepticons
While wily kit or kat start throwin’ a smoke bomb
These lines from the mind lion like Voltron
No lines like comic con Joey Bruno with no Juno
You know never call me but text I
Tote poetical mic check that prophetic it’s
What’s next the suplex unsuspected
Think I’m high risk but never miss who wanna
Dismiss the undisputed kid deep rooted
From the 80s these rap babies up and down just like he’s
Wavy the MPC plus words be
Absurdly this other-wordly my journey
Bum-stiggedy-bum no young guns concern me
Crew like one run done while we early
Love the flow but say he’s too wordy
Too nerdy chatterin’ battle in no mercy
Ladder match can’t match son like birds be
Born bury hatchet catch this not worthy
Heard he unexpectedly cop drop
The weaponry can’t see the big picture this
With telepathy open sesame mind especially
Run never hesitate but heavyweight the hesi be
So professorly and one indelibly
Once again back it’s the incredibly
It goes Raw Shank
Fibonacci’s son who never run but pullin’ rank
They know Raw Shank
Blowin’ up banks ‘til they’re gone
It goes Raw Shank
Fibonacci’s son who never run but pullin’ rank
They know Raw Shank
Lights bright on fight night it’s on
On your mark get set I left at incredible
Timin’ is impeccable ‘cause Joey is obsessional
With the legible never sly expendable
Who flyin’ higher bird on a wire try unforgettable
Stay susceptible though forces look impregnable
I teleport accordingly forts is indefensible
Knock ‘em out the box or off pedestals
Now I got a better view so get a clue that’s plentiful
Socrates with ease he’s professional
Universe is parallel still no flow is identical
What I’m sendin’ you reach through like a tentacle
Caught in like I bought in like I fought in bring in medical
Blow-up I show-up I mixed-up the chemical
Yes they steady skeptical the alchemy’s exceptional
Blow-up I cleaned-up I mixed-up the chemical
Once again back it’s the incredible
It goes Raw Shank
Fibonacci’s son who never run but pullin’ rank
They know Raw Shank
Blowin’ up banks ‘til they’re gone
It goes Raw Shank
Fibonacci’s son who never run but pullin’ rank
They know Raw Shank
Lights bright on fight night it’s on
This goes out for those that choose to use
Disrespectful views on Bruno know you owe
Truffaut this rap Alfred Hitchcock
Off the top even higher than I thought
When I looked would work like this is his carpentry
But served right and deserved like the karma be
Burn bright or blast through the blasphemy
Spurn the audacity would turn their backs to me
Back against the balcony or thankfully vitality
Or finish him fatality or sickness triviality
Get it more like actually or realer than reality
Or spread throughout the galaxy vocal criticality
Backup all the track can be hijack a crew and faculty
Yes and bless the pageantry the sanity’s a tapestry
No gimmicks but elaborately pray I
Once again back incredibly say why
Raw Shank
Fibonacci’s son who never run run run
Raw Shank
Blowin’ up banks ‘til they’re gone
It goes Raw Shank
Fibonacci’s son who never run but pullin’ rank
Raw Shank
Blowin’ up banks ‘til they’re gone
I’m gone
Persona
Break out with much clout fake out I take out

Mighty Bomb Jack
Holy smoke but no incense great pretenders and
I see through pretense please rememberin’
Eye see-through intended the air benderin’
Final tribulation and trials the rivals enterin’
Stay menacin’ blade slice precisely
Earth water fire and air that’s my psyche
Goal to reach the summit but plummet is more likely
Attack in the day to slay where the knights be
Enter the dragon to tip the scales shut put
Off on the world on riches untouched but
Throw an uppercut and he rose up like what
What right to the head and then quick two to the gut
You’re now rocking with the best the stressed
This unique unorthodox technique obsessed
It’s fortified pressure sound waves can cave chests
Now I bet go getters can’t let go for success yes
Grasshopper like bet then win after
Words that I choose to use bruise and snap the
Leg or the streak technique unique have a
Quality that’s better best add a new chapter
On the hunt for another one operative
Everything you taught me to do the opposite
Back story they want glory and all monument
Less opulent discharge the bars consummate
Rhyme grenade propelled with much force one
Very John Kelly reaction remorse none
Still steady deadly ready when off course won
Remainin’ no game but ball on all courts son
Lethal shot keep hustlin’ with muscle
Special operations been wind and in trouble
Dream state waited emerged from the rubble
Vengeance is mine two times the verse double double
This is John Wick spit lit the punishment
Seen a machine commandment my covenant
Never breakneck speed break like the government
Vengeance is mine two times again doubled it
War continuous earthquake the winds and
Fire famine plague but the bandits can’t win
I’m abrupt with the cut evidence of the sin
Ginseng on the road while venom is from the skin yes
Or lower stake take out a snake belly be
Swords and the mirrors and tears the scent heavily
Descend never repent but none buried me
Han couldn’t handle the angle legendarily
No new enemy needed we heed scripts
Lead us not into temptation completed
Membership by my own hand when succeeded rid
No drama mighty bomb jack never defeated kid
Persona
No drama mighty bomb jack never defeated
Membership by my own hand when succeeded
Lead us not into temptation completed persona

Papyrus Code
Philosophical flourish an earthly bliss is
Pursue true proven for a life like this it’s
I can’t miss miss even if I should I would
Strive beyond the grave but I want theirs real good
How could this be otherworldly yearnin’
Why a soul stay verily vital when world’s burnin’ and
Turn tight vice joyous songs to hymns we
Anointed appointed when soarin’ the light dims see
Like the earth spins and I’m feel it too
You can keep so let’s seek secret knowledge through this
A clue you knew that we are all imperfect
It must be the dust to dust we interpreted
How these words get outer shell of a pearl
Where the happiness lay now I’m tellin’ the world
In my girls in my wife in my life above this
Aware discoverin’ and wonderin’ what wonder is
Why I’m on the road this
The highest try this papyrus code it goes
Memories leave an afterglow
Echo across the cavern slow
Why I’m on the road this
The highest try this papyrus code it goes
Terrified of my own tongue
It’s a loaded little gun
Beauty of the spark in your eye
And the glow across your face
I try everything for you to see
Me the same way
Terrified terrified of my own tongue
Loaded it’s a loaded little gun
People recklessly aim and hideaway and hate
But I don’t wanna taint my own name
When I was young I didn’t understand their power
Now they ricochet off of you to the others
All the spitting bullets that you see
Are how you remember me so I shoot carefully
Why I’m on the road this
The highest try this papyrus code it goes
Memories leave an afterglow
Echo across the cavern slow
Why I’m on the road this
The highest try this papyrus code it goes
Terrified of my own tongue
It’s a loaded little gun
¬Intense inhale innermost invest in
Outlook outwork outstretchin’
OK complete but can keep that cherish
OK feel the rain before the same perish
Dream or nightmarish effectively one
Both unknowable and knowable the radiated sun
The mind soul sung she sang and enthrall
To create emanated debated the see saw
We call she all now we standin’ in awe
The ineffable and out incomin’ outlaw like
Terrified of my own tongue
It’s a loaded little gun
Called to heaven no days months or years
They knew what would come next tears
Scene like a set-up she said mind your business
Been keep tryin’ I’m dyin’ for your giveness
Why I’m on the road this
The highest try this papyrus code it goes
Memories leave an afterglow
Echo across the cavern slow
Why I’m on the road this
The highest try this papyrus code it goes
Terrified of my own tongue
It’s a loaded little gun

Pandemical Madness
Over heads like a fitted or he hit it out the park
Or he hit out the dome like he goin’ back to start
Descartes sharp separate mind from matter shatterin’
Macho man randy the ram and he bar batterin’
Grand slam plannin’ the scam and then dashes
Cross his heart imaginary part passes
Cash is carny kids I fresh to caskets
Love when a phrase’ll repeat test the madness
Hell in handbaskets task is demandin’
Catch this lightening like right where he standin’
Split this atom best believe the God bars
Dyin’ if I’m lyin’ orion and other stars hard
Core rhymes galore
Then he gon’ ride the bass until he can’t anymore why
Pandemical sick written
Choose your words wisely even if they’re hidden
Or even if they’re bitten forbidden then still biddin’
Bettin’ on myself my life like top billin’
This top villain spillin’ cold crush crews
Post-truth hurts produce this fake news
Fake clues fake dues feint these fake moves
A baby born in Hades with rabies and tattoos
From the womb doom
Butter flyin’ rhymin’ straight out the cocoon
Since the start no costume
He drawin’ blood from a livin’ stone they presume
Pandemical class clash
Cats couldn’t rhyme if they name was Rass Kass
Like once again now we tango for cash is
Say the name again suspend you not passin’
Check this staff this math or this deposit is
Check the money laundered when he washin’ out his wallet he be
Sonic sonnet a rocket but never fallin’
Never top it comet demolishin’ every problem
You can call it all jokes aside
So please move to the left he stepped and died
Pandemical add treble
Right hand to God the left strangle the devil
Let’s crucify lucifer’s not on this level
To the fully equipped gun bar they all pebbles
He never settle idle hands play
Things gettin’ cryptic dip and walk away
Young blood double the barrel like Torae
Who young blood drank like goose and OJ say
OK slay now how’d he transform
To an optimist in his prime in rhyme form
Age of apocalypse life of crime torn it’s
Expose elements tell ‘em the kid Storm a
Pandemical icon
Wordsmith viper to writers a python
Not Tyson sharp darts dismiss the meanin’
Iron Mike Sharpe the flow stay so clean when
Sleepin’ dream then shattered it so sweet
Off the chain you none Chuck made the beat
That’s nunchuk big pun who can fund privately
Seek magneto floated in cloaked irony
Fire he’s fired the dirtiest in the game
Low blow say it ain’t so though for the fame
Done trainin’ name obtainin’ gains dutifully
Wolverine versus Professor X mutiny
Pandemical made custom
Heavyweight champ to gold he’s accustomed
Busted open the crimson mask bladed
Gators keep steppin’ the weapon’s blood-related
He hated top-rated is never quit on high
In the ring bring in laundry Gucci shoes fly
This why I try my updated status is
Best expressed on mic apparatuses
Bless confess cheat to test the baddest it’s
Pandemical unforgettable madness
My status is the baddest
Pandemical unforgettable madness

Highness Bow
Vibrate on planes unseen but stay dreamin’ I’ma
Reveal this meetin’ celestial type bein’ like
Meanin’ light beams or seems apparitions floatin’
Shine on shadows I had those in the missions wrote and
What’s the matter or scatter the conscious probably
I’m body mind refinin’ and definin’ my dichotomy
Who honestly decimated prophecies apologies
Always wanted to rhyme I bomb atomically
Obviously obliterated hated my whole odyssey
Blood splattered data no matter I carbon copy me
History repeats I seek through speech odyssey
Blood splattered data no matter I carbon copy me
Easily sprayin’ alpha ray aimin’ at palaces
Each reach what you speak pure malice it’s that
Combat we come back unique talents
Transmit a chakra balance and I’m sippin’ from the chalices like
Who’s right or is might gon’ save you
You can’t save yourself with the wealth God made you
A strain through no plain view is truth gon’ save you
The prophecy returned spurned and never forgave you or I
Take it back back get lifted we
Tongue-tied twisted and sick spit sadistically
Classical capital cannibal characteristics he
Belligerence we battled while you babbled on ballistically
Very vivid vital the idol’s title a liquid see
Can Cash kick well yes he can and wickedly
Liquid like rhyme gas solid vital vividly
Riddle the conspiracy wrapped trapped unwittingly
Or dead in the middle how he aimin’ for the iris now
You seein’ why the spirits sneakin’ by and I’m Aquinas how
The ignorant stay blissful and they bristle at what minds allow
Art’s official why they artificial and the highness bow
With the finest gown
And the highest crown
The divinest sound
And the highness bow
No more thee and thou he vow to bring the fire in
From where it’s been has been keep her in deeper and then higherin’
The devil always lyin’ and with ego they conspirin’
Thrivin’ to survive I been which way is more abidin’ in
An ethos of acquirin’ skull and bones they stonin’ Merlin
Magically with dust entrust blade’ll stay in swirlin’
Smoke signal versus the riddle fingers rendered curlin’
Cast a spell run and tell the bomb shell well oh well it’s workin’
Or ground swellin’ lurkin’ but they eyeless now
They tryin’ be the lyrics seekin’ why and they gon’ find us how
Intelligent the celebrant dismisses all the tries allowed
Art’s official why they artificial and the highness bow
With the finest gown
And the highest crown
The divinest sound
And the highness bow
From the root sacred solar plexus heart’ll be
Throat is to the third eye crown and round and round and deadly
Who dead beat up an instrumental with the words he murderin’
Led astray let it spray far away verbal and
In my haptic suit like built different
Ordinarily intricate doper in my inference
Floatin’ over rapid shootin’ dekin’ out the defense easy
Lower lower classic route clue still written in graffiti
Or really in the riddle how the sky is cryin’ now
This blood is drainin’ rainin’ the red is stainin’ I’m flyin’ how
Intelligent stay blissful and they bristle all the tries allowed
Art’s official why they artificial and the highness bow
With the finest gown
And the highest crown
The divinest sound
And the highness bow
