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
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
