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
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
