::: LOOK :::
Still risen the old and new knew
Vision true trust stardust and flow through
Look how the view grew flow can’t miss
Kids reminisce and it goes like this it goes
...Heaven lit life slippin’ the crowd took
Lessons gripped clouds dripped rippin’ the ground shook look
Off the chain off the hinge off the hook look
Off the brain...off the books look
Godspeed read written in the stars
Like war beyond mars birth myrrh and gold bars
For his and hers ours lift off like vanguard
One life so die hard though tissue all scarred
Run train and will spar until the wild card
Bell rang no holds barred thrown bombs will bombard
Harangue he on guard run toward the graveyard
Who off the radar eat glass and spit shards look
...Contingency planned hurriedly
Why they worried see but the vision other worldly
I eternally from the fires and hyperbole
Third degree burnin’ me verbally stand sturdily look
...Destroy the apparatuses
State the madness had this habitat dramatic it’s
Actin’ erratic and destroy the racket
Tactics bringin’ balance to havoc before the tragic look
...Heaven lit life slippin’ the crowd took
Lessons gripped clouds dripped rippin’ the ground shook look
Off the chain off the hinge off the hook look
Off the brain...off the books look
...Heaven lit life slippin’ the crowd took
Lessons gripped clouds dripped rippin’ the ground shook look
Off the chain off the hinge off the hook look
Off the brain...off the books look
One take navigate the odyssey
Free your mind rhyme or catch this dichotomy
Stop stop stop it we forsee the benefit
Electro magnetical program settin’ it
List all the evidence incense the oracle
Resist the mission this the moral no
No no whole timeline and can get bent
Vex the cave conned is bond and heaven scented
Look evident knowin’ thy self we
Believe the sacrifice righted or mightily
Now now now might be déjà vu view
No glitch the show spit splitted or sit through
Clues eight bit true soul epiphany
Never sell always sold colder infantry
Look dream vividly breakin’ the brainwave
Click click click bait flick like switch blades
Raid score more gave ravin’ like Zion
This is that scripture like flipped and tried on
On on bygone era is verily
Explodin’ the system wished it scarily
Look beware weave dodge a bullet and
Who ran it all understand it all and then pulled it
Full clip rip write savin’ a memory
Faith is not knowing just walk and let it be
Be be better flee standin’ the ground sound
Know the name fame and the ancient art found
Found found pounded rain in the strange dream
A nightmare all clear fear pain this machine
Look but can’t see this no comic book
Massively tacklin’ sonnets and grapplin’ hooks
Actively battlin’ tell on a rich crook and
Anything’s possible castle the rook can look
...Heaven lit life slippin’ the crowd took
Lessons gripped clouds dripped rippin’ the ground shook look
Off the chain off the hinge off the hook look
Off the brain...off the books look
...Heaven lit life slippin’ the crowd took
Lessons gripped clouds dripped rippin’ the ground shook look
Off the chain off the hinge off the hook look
Off the brain...off the books look
…look
…look
…look
It’s the yearnin’ burn down can’t up and leave
Who bob and weave thieves I’m the prince of these
Claw and seethe schemin’ my mind conceives
Knocking out cats thinkin’ that they born to lead
I’m bored of these please mentally achieve
But don’t sleep physically ‘cause I’m still gon’ breathe
And still receivin’ meanin’ and still believe
And fill the unseen scene with my time machine
Seen…

::: MY DIAGNOSIS :::
You know it’s cleansin’
Persona armour I’m focused lens is
Perspective wagin’ changin’ war and
Swiftly really…restorin’
Dosage open the door more of the hardcore
Try and outrun the devil but he knows parkour
Four score and one before four flow it’s
Anything’s possible my diagnosis is
…my diagnosis is
…my diagnosis
Gunsling and bring these strange things to light like
Life is writing or a mic or straight right
Right left jab is the gab sadistic
Grip persisted will they miss this misfit’s
Sick and twisted who encrypted codes then
Paralysis analysis of flows when
Unlocked or rock this chakra like Naruto go
Kamikaze jutsu quasi like Pluto <though though>
Though planet hitched to a satellite cling on
Fruit from the God tree ‘til the scheme’s gone <uh>
To the basics countin’ every letter can
Assign then reassign I can make it better than <uh>
Will he stop never stop nevertheless
My techniques and hands seals sevens so I bless <yes>
Best plans laid like test and slayed and
Another life saved everybody weapon wave now
Ultimately on three what I’m dreamin’ of
This is my plea I be never me enough
Wait and see the key we the meanin’ of
OCD I never think it’s clean enough
Ultimately on three what I’m dreamin’ of
This is my plea I be never me enough
Wait and see the key we the meanin’ of
O-C-D so...
<Spiral> round and round underground the sound so
Down for another round crowned pound for pound though
Founded in radon stayed on and on as cold below and
Lower lower lower closer now even closer goin’
Knowin’ it’s allowed but hidden so written frequently
Archimedes codin’ in graffiti diggin’ Nefertiti
See my queen be deeply the reason and key to victory
We a team can hurtin’ but work is workin’ deliver me
…Silver tongue wish
Burn bright like no problem fixed
Learn might right brain don’t betray me
This life light try and stay sanely
Drain dawn and dusk and then energy
Drain memory moonlight and melody
Please tell me once more once choose
Lesson I’m a weapon knockin’ out henchmen in twos like
Ultimately on three what I’m dreamin’ of
This is my plea I be never me enough
Wait and see the key we the meanin’ of
OCD I never think it’s clean enough
Ultimately on three what I’m dreamin’ of
This is my plea I be never me enough
Wait and see the key we the meanin’ of
O-C-D so...
Sun king will ring the name reignin’ and call to
The rain drops seekin’ out the cracks and fall through
Same spot wash away the blood that’s on you
Or stains mock everything you’ve done or gon’ do
Brain stop hard knock tamed or tragedy
Artifice the art of this or is this reality
Love majesty queen dream musical
When the world’s hurtin’ you still the world’s beautiful
We think unusually check my main frame
Cut bleed bob and weavin’ on a runaway
Train in my thoughts like trainin' for fitness
Rain in my thoughts like reign of these misfits and
What is this wanna fly
I give up the weight not dyin’
My-my-my mind sprayed like half amazed and
The other half raised everybody weapon wave now
Ultimately on three what I’m dreamin’ of
This is my plea I be never me enough
Wait and see the key we the meanin’ of
OCD I never think it’s clean enough
Ultimately on three what I’m dreamin’ of
This is my plea I be never me enough
Wait and see the key we the meanin’ of
O-C-D so...
Dosage open the door more of the hardcore
Try and outrun the devil but he knows parkour
Four score and one before four flow it’s
Anything’s possible my diagnosis is
…my diagnosis is

Elemental

::: ELEMENTAL :::
…Dust and wind
Blow flames sea waves it’s the next of kin
And yes it’s him lights dim throughout the land
Now this is your family child kick up the sand
Like the moon and the sun mom and dad had a son
So that’s lunar glare solar flare love like one
And these words soon come eyein’ dreams and fears
I had an awkward run cried a couple of tears but
Never cringe or fear beware when we’re in front of Grayskull <yellin’>
Handle that Battle Cat stay still ‘til I say so <tell ‘em>
Hey yo I’m rockin’ this Disco Three tape
That I popped from rewindin’ the Jailhouse Rap break it’s like
Escape through the window of this barbershop
Dusty elbow drop Flair chop and a title shot
Lost thoughts like Thundera spinnin’ off its axis is
Agin’ like Lion-O tryin’ go practice
Changin’ like iron blow sharp swing illusive
Range never lyin’ though this is so true of
Who knew central like cortex mental like
Run for the furnace to burn it’s
Elemental who came from the dust and page
Blow flames sea waves this comin’ of age
And he’s in a rage turn and look in the mirror
You’re missin’ your fear man in the midst of the years
While the planets and the stars and the moon’s at dawn
And word is bond broken old love song
Valleys hill I’m on miss Lauryn the ache is
Which pill is wrong so I’ll take this Matrix is
No escape this little until infinity
Brilliantly shine time then is mine and why she’s into me
Cleverly find eagerly grindin’ my agility’s
Differently I’m vividly rhyme better than mimicry
<Presence of my enemies> play DJ
<Ready to die and> life after death replay
<Ready to die and> life after death both raised
In this attitude era off the top of the cage I
Rage eye for an eye stun the world my
Phase eye in the sky unfurled I’m
Purely potential or more than essential or
Moral the oracle tore through
Elemental shaped from the dust and scars
Blow flames sea waves this light is afar
She is a star burn above all the land
Now this is your family child kick up the sand
Like heaven and hell see in this I dwell
With an angel and a demon but I mean both well
The ground will swell spin swirl spill forth unbelief
Time tells everything everyone every thief is
Leave me righteously writin' recitin' memories
More excited than lightnin' strikin' all of this energy
When a titan frightened incited a new identity
What can be my remedy leave behind a legacy
<Now there's no new enemies> and I precisely
Sacrificed easily see these heights might
Be another vice or another night enticed
What’s the price like my wife saved my life twice and
Right left obsessive near doom then
Left right compulsive exhumed when
My daughter cryin’ emerged from the womb
Significance equivalent to the sun and the moon <uh>
…Bring it back like
…Bring it back bring it back like
…Bring it back bring it back like
…And beyond

::: NIGHT LESS :::
…air it out though
Dare not meet me in dreams air it out though
Filled with fire it seems air it out though
…get ‘em
It’s the archangel fallen truest through bluest flames and bathe
In poison dip the darts slingin’ sharp contagiously the aim
Precise perfected checked it in the first to last
Art bring it back to the start…
Archangel fallen from truest through bluest flames and bathe
In poison dip the darts slingin’ sharp contagiously the aim
Precisely perfected seconds is from the first to last
Spark shine a light in the dark… <shhh>
He passed laugh added in fact trackin’ the cuttin’ king
Fast carve a path with the back packin’ a blade to swing
Art of sting battlin' had a win and paid the cost
Better than adrenaline veteran even took the l-l-l-l-lost
Prophetically weaponry with the name action
Done poetically mentally with the flame passion
Feel incredibly deadly why the same faction
Steady threatenin' but can't reckon with this assassin
Plus my girl’s still comin' for all you crumbs be-
‘fore they bury me guarantee I’ma bleed on drums be-
tween the realms overwhelm tell ‘em how it’s done be-
lieve in one so competition’s none and we run
To the light now the night is until the exit we
Stresses then obsesses he quietly with intensity
But blessed with the best she blessed with the next she
Twilight a night night less…
Rise back handle the scandal who air it out anoint a
…Medicated but dedicated the voice deployin’
…So he sprayed it on designated the ranks employin’
Renegade who demonstratin’ venerated points appointed
Or destroyed it in range he change physically
In the back a fitted cap pull it low no tracin’ see and
Thinks there’s no escape decreein’ this who he really be and
Old school heavy hoodie when he ride it out amazingly
Like look he basically takin’ it from the reservoir
Dig deep shift mystique the shade avatar’s
Blue moon he harpooned in the heart repertoire’s
Goin’ hard like Gambit’s cards and throwin’ stars like from afar and
Listen here they are crooks swerve but he
Checkmated fate now the ache is the hate swirlin’
Vocal is local but sound unbound workin’
Heart rate race his mind state’s a verb then a
Deservedly combattin’ the stratagem’s
Format adamantium skeleton at the maximum
Fully healin’ here I am leanin’ I’m mean I’m back again
Sometimes silence violence and sometimes it’s more platinum like
This compassion can move diffuse transmittal
…Chain and sickle …genius is fickle
Even when water’s a trickle little by little the ripple
Message the blessin’ is in you coalesce essence is in view
Now a preview of my meditation remedy
Tried and true I’m stickin’ to but don’t avoid the treachery
Base is true all phrases through all praises due eventually
Memoirs are I’m droppin’ bars of battle scars on melodies
Night like infinity weepin’ or keep on challengin’
Currently I’m balancin’ learnin’ from the madness in-
Side my mind the anguish entangled in then my axis been
Stretchin’ language like bandages over all the damage is
Strike critical but never breakin’ I’ma take it
To the farthest the margins I’m stronger longer plagues hit
Now I try to just cease increase peace waited
Honesty and solemn be the prophecy and bond is sacred
How they hated the kid who sharpened iron
Stayin’ sharp and low and firin’ don’t try the heart of a lion I am
Just before dyin’ no lyin’ whatever’s heard here
Jesus tears but no fears when the light is comin’ nearer
Dimmer seer the inner Iike pious sinner told
Fight winner's fitter try him the iron glimmer old
Scrolls sold for gold and to the highest bidder bold
Cash dashin' classic assassin spit is bitter cold
So I hold it well and held throughout the darkest nights
Torn apart completely completed all of the parts is right
Counterpart my partner permanently my heart like
Bright light back to the start I write…
Angel through this truest intuit flames and bathe
Antidote this what she wrote floated over aims and named
Precise perfected check it she the first and last
Spark shine a light in the dark… <shhh>
Passed laugh added in fact trackin’ the cuttin’ king
Fast carve a path with the back packin’ a blade to swing
Art of sting battlin' had a win and paid the cost
Better than adrenaline veteran even took the l-l-l-l-lost
Prophetically weaponry with the name action
Done poetically mentally with the flame passion
Feel incredibly deadly why the same faction
Steady threatenin' but can't reckon with this assassin
Plus my girl’s still comin' for all you crumbs be-
‘fore they bury me guarantee I’ma bleed on drums be-
tween the realms overwhelm tell ‘em how it’s done be-
lieve in one so competition’s none and we run
