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
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
