The opening track, “Abundant Bank,” depicts the outlaw and out-of-place loner who will do whatever is necessary to provide for himself and his family. To evade capture, the wanted is now on the run, placed in the “Prowler Position.” Still, it is not the law that leads to repentance, but the self’s own “Enduring Witness.” Locked in “Raw Shank,” wits are sharpened and, in “Mighty Bomb Jack,” the self-imposed exile is breached. Through introspection, a new “Papyrus Code” emerges, the self is sanctified, and the ensuing “Pandemical Madness” solidifies an awareness: the existence of an individual and collective spark. Recognizing the divinity of self, authenticity is emboldened, and the “Highness Bow.” If we are a continuum of lives performed, then Persona is a story of performance from the highway to the throne.
lyrics
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
