Little City 03:22
little city rise up to work in the morning little city rise up to work and i'm yawning see me out here in the rain arriving wet again maybe dry by lunch time kinda maybe a pain need to invest in an umbrella i guess but when the wind starts to howl it flips inside out and you toss it in the trash yup you throw it out disposable society I hate to go that route makes me wanna shout how we wasting water and we hollering drought so I zip up my hood and hope for the best it's a gamble up here in the north west rain forests and rivers lakes and glaciers enough water here yup im up to my ears lovin every minute never one to complain see me out here in the rain arriving wet again see me out here in the rain arriving wet again .hear the alarm ring, blankets off tossed / then wash and sing toothbrush and floss / morning again dreams have been lost / but I got new ideas on // the freedom received after work / coliseum battle no hurt / the arena action net worth / complete distraction words dispersed // so I get dressed, tuck in my shirt / flip the day over like invert / skip away little city curse / but it's a blessing to me first // the rain never bothers me man / west coast is a part of me fam / wet float stay strong be like a dam / arrange a plan, do what I can // to stay water proof, walk dry shoes / hood up greyest hues, talk fly true / with no lies used downpour infused / island mind design interview.

Intuition 03:24
listen to your premonition listen to your intuition .symbolism mixed intuition gets written / optimism has activation new mission / plague the system with repetition additions /premonitions feel like juxtapositions // got energy nuclear fission here given / atom collision, matter imprisoned, driven, / making decisions, scalpel incision listen / taking peace in, sitting lotus position // fantasy flying, a gryphon when rhyming / magically shining precision all timing / this is fantastical beasts and where to find them / got the grammatical reach when word combining // stars and celestial bodies aligning / building a temple, monumental keep climbing / inventiveness so eventful, worth defining / real competitive with a soul thats inspiring // You gotta feel it in your bones Before you leave home Lace up your kicks And get in the zone Step out the door Ask for no more Than simple directions To find whats in store And when it’s time for one more line Im sure you'll feel fine With just a few sips of wine Sometimes I’m all right To be left behind Other times i find I gotta grind Stay focused and climb That green limb to find The freshest fruit The apple of my eye When stars align I’ll make up my mind To move with intuition Fast forward or rewind Press pause in time On time all time I climb incline Signs designed Paid in kind Stops decline last word And signed

Ancient 02:45
Runnin runnin on the hot hot sand Runnin runnin as fast as I can Runnin runnin from dawn till dark Runnin runnin by the light of the stars .been burned a few times, combustion / skin melt flesh cooked fine, seduction / been killed so sublime, destruction / ending these lines like discussions // but my sentences stay run on / speak with breathlessness words belong / placed next to each other lifelong / make quests to discover beyond // many moons haven't seen the dawn / I consume beginnings prolonged / wave hey_zeus in the pantheon / sleep in temples since babylon // never know where memories go / since the gods have been forgotten / all I hold is me remembering souls / is there's a certain allotment // ----------------------------------- There's no escape on the path I take Oasis shade only dreams i make Disillusioned by illusion mind Trick of the hand Mirage in the sand Storm blows up and covers the sun Dont know why but i start to run Lost again I circle back Points of reference Have all gone black Hope is fleeting All looks bleak when Dessert shifts like new mountain peak In front of me and Cant take another Movement of feet can I find my treasure And head back home Answer no Im forced to roam I dont like winds melody Cant stand the tone Sounds so errie Thoughts so off My mind is lost

Pulse 04:21
pulse pound blood found capillary / touch sound here now adversary / battle grounds sample Hail Marys / shotgun end zone legendary // crash kill mercenary bury / six feet scary solitary / tweak speak high peaks visionary / unwary peace repeats rarely // exceptional luminary / acceptable literary / delectable culinary / intentional cemetery // impressionable head carries / unconventional thoughts barely / crossing waters choppy ferried / between mountains rocky varied // Goin' through some stuff Got people prayin' for me Maybe it helps This very day I could be Feelin' a bit better Feeling quite free Where do these thoughts go Better yet where do they come from How can they go fast to slow And make me come so undone Well its back to the drawing board 3 2 and 1 Could these pills Become My vice or just a unofficial plus one To the prom in the prime of my life Graduate to a healthy man And toss my cap in the air With a gown still on Like i forgot what to wear So this will have to do And make the best of it Start on the right shoe And take the deficit As loss incurred Get a grip and swallow it But There’s two sides To every banana split Cause when your done You aint feelin it hk Feel it beat Heart in me Feel the beat On repeat Inspire fire divine inside Chest fulla heat breathe between Words inspired To make it higher Mic to wire Plug desire In stereo to find Fine design Skeletons On my mind taking cues social casually / shaking news vocal maladies / breaking through hopeful casualty / murder death formalities / the actuality doesn't / succumb to desires running / to get past the numb height summit / undone mind weighs a ton plummet // humdrum conundrums ten dozen / think somethings there when it wasn't / the fall creating concussions / applaud debating discussions // this is all set to percussion / tied together in post production / everything that I'm becoming / is spontaneous combustion. Found where I am To be my medicine I am what I found Through medal in in affairs foreign To My next of kin Break the chain Shackling generations Of blind faith And blinding ways Can't walk straight Or find your way home But alas I did Through breath from trees And creating kid Now ocean taste Washes my face Left rat race To make new place Out Of old tastes haunts old in case You forgot golden days Gumboots on no shoe lace swim suits in case You find a good spot To jump in like bathe

Newsflash 01:09
Newsflash I dont want your oil But my car needs gas Its just a privilage I hope it does not last Newsflash Rather go electric I need more cash Check out my dividends The stacks go by so fast Newsflash They really need to change It’s our home ON native land Decolonialize Should be the first task Newsflash Ideas rearranged The eons have their plans Uncompromised alive Current ways hard to grasp Newsflash We must try our best Break the mould of the cast Make sure old values are Nothing short of smashed Newsflash Eventually we can Expose the hold stretched out vast Revert back to nature Watch the colony collapse News flash We need that As bad as a rash needs a scratch To material possessions We can't get attached Newsflash Relapse contact in fact Sit back relax aftermath Detached abstract combat Lit match lip blast acrobat Newsflash Dudes rad! whos dad? New pad? too glad Lose that bruise bad Cruise fat and too sad Newsflash Happiness is fleeting So I arrange meetings that Have seating frequent seizing Feelings with meaning to trap

.trust is a commodity hard to hold / lust is an anomaly with a scope / that's tough to show even with sparks you know / will light up the dark watch it ignite slow // the faster the better dead weather grows / disaster vendetta warm sweater sown / underlying meaning amongst the tone / death defying dreaming replace the throne // my perception has intentions that roam / it's contention makes investments I own / slight detection write inflection so bold / fight perspective hype relentless mind told // me to leave it alone keep off the phone / bury skeleton bones dig deep what's known / then let it all go there no point to blow / apart the things that are good so just cope // the truth is so many people will lie / the noose is hung up above and it's tied / I gave enough rope so they could do it right / let go of the hope hands limp to the side // it didn't take much effort all despite / the words that were said resigned to feel like / they were actually meant combined with insight // I found out it was all a ploy to bite / hook line and sinker the water flows fine / until the ripples turn to waves alive / tsunami destroy no rescue design // do not resuscitate, let them all die / do not investigate, wasn't a crime / even though there's parts stolen it's alright / that's what happens when you trust every time. Fans so few and far between I ve never known what it means To rely on them Ha i do it for me And dont give a what Do it for the feeling i get in my gut Done it for so long Way past the first cut This here is groud beef But it not butchered up Been such a slice A cross section of my life My biggest fan I also call my wife And shell tell me its off key Or if its her favorite one That I put out so far It’s been quite the run A few shows here A few shows there Didn't get too discouraged When they stopped giving a care I cant lie sometimes i try To do it all for the likes Face book friends comment s like yikes This is so lame Get back to the basics beats and rhymes No fakeness Not tryin' to jump onto the latest Maybe its boom bap Yeah it might be that One thing I’m darn sure It’s original rap Won’t get caught in a trap Like a rabbit in a snare Call me crazy hare I’m outta there In a sense that my mind is gone But i can still reign it in To write one more song All the drums sound the same So does what they say It’s poetry darnit What can you convey What can you display with The words that you spray Like sprinkler in the summer I write for relief Like catching some shade underneath a trees leaf Throw me some shade Throw me disbelief I come right back at you Make Athiests believe

Runaway 02:58
Gotta stay strong No turning back Watch day burn bright Watch night turn black Keep it moving along Know when to say no Go with what they call flow Show up ready to blow Get my mind in the game Knock it out the box Smashing the frame Change into clean sox But as funky as ever Makin' sure the beat rocks Back back back and forth Up for the challenge Writing one more Typing one more Lighting one more To ignite then soar Like rocket blast Still stop and ask Inline with dreams? then dream s'more Put up a fight Go down swingin' Keep chords in line And keep on singing .capture the damage picture the fathoms / weapon word brandished hit points to ravage / sentence to challenge battles so savage / death threats real mammoth topple eat vanish // repeat defeat complete my advantage / discrete deceit concrete build mismanaged / deadbeat delete hot seat to examine / high heat retreat athlete the whole package // so full exposed this flow controlled composed / with fire desire flame pyre ghost rider explode / behold the growth enclosed disclosed and told / through wires acquired transpired fibre writer implode // over beats repeat overload corrode / acid sheets rhymes peak overlord unfold / rapid speak timed unique transposed so bold / never cold my hold

.plauges and virusus death inside lifeless / cross the wires up to see who's the livest / desires of lust comprising the stuff / that destroys the world Big Bang provides us // with sciences we understand righteous / over sit situations smoke highness / create sentence structures in my likeness / levels above acid rain cloud crisis // you can see the image in my iris / it's a story so ancient and timeless / pattern swings saturns rings fight Osiris / clash god of war underworld lord tyrant // house of the holy stone temple pilot / voices louder then ever no silence / choices gathered together with guidance / from the asylum crazy speech biased // about the future on the horizon / in the distance you can hear the sirens / steps leave imprints running from compliance / but we are all doomed no use in trying // and that's fine but my lines tough not hiding / combine and refine space time defiant / designing realignment minus fighting / clearing up the violence peace inviting // reach enticing with release rewriting / the path we are devising describing / the end of the world stir coinciding / with precipice of change life's prescribing. There's a comet on it’s way Maybe be here in a day Smash your hopes and dreams maybe birds will be okay Enjoy your worldly ways Not much longer will we stay You might have an opinion But you wont be here to say Disapeared not here Not here to complain After that half a ya Is just matter that’s grey And when were away And our spirits say grace They’ll realize inspite We didnt matter anyway It was all meaningless From when we walked straight To when we went astray From lies that we told To the silly games we played The universe goes on Even our galaxy Just keeps spinnin Like gods the dj And the party is infinite Since way before 1993! But hey what the heck Lets live it up Fill me up some liquor in my plastic Cup Speed to where your going And show the world whats up Get college degrees And other types of paper Fill steamy bathrooms with Scented vapors Run for the gold Succeed all you can Die knowing everything Went according to plan Set unrealistic goals And achieve them anyway Make your moma proud And the whole family And haters might hate But hey don't look at me I doted all my i's And crossed All my t's Swing my golf club Over some of the finest tees Saved all my money To takes cruises on the sea Even my show dogs are immune to fleas So bring on the comet Smash it all today Because the memory of me Is surely here to stay

Sharing a life Getting older together Moves me to tears Enduring the weather Storms and sunshine Clouds and rain I can remember Nights I stayed out late So unfair to you Treated this way Worried all night About where I might be Fallen from a roof Or nabbed by police So now i choose Family first And I feel i’m blessed Not one for religion But i feel im blessed Maybe everything Was just a big test So i work at this And now we rest In a beautiful home With ones to love Free to roam Peace like a dove Spread it out Wings of a dove Fly together Message from above .lava breath stench of death till nothing’s left / semblance of devilish heaven sent / evidence so prevalent remembering / that everything is everything blessed // triple six pick up sticks dice roll throw fits / stippled in black ink drink so cold flow drips / equipped missile hits rippling crowds quick / loud lip sound bliss pounding surrounding mist // you can feel it all around and deep within / the way it steals what was locked up safe and then / gets sold back to you two fold and begins / to revel in the peddling of grim // doom winds soothing and booming come right in / darkness harnessed and varnished like night sins / eat carcass diet destroy beats artist writing / sight heartless defeat targets.
10.
there's a beautiful river that flows down the mountain there's a beautiful river that flows to the sea there's a beautiful river that flows down the mountain there's a beautiful river between you and me .whens theres smooth sailing the calm is ailing / arrangements of statements proof displaying / the truth prevailing with music making / soothing harmonics lost in this stasis // whens theres rough waters sirens start wailing / calamity surrounding seas breaking / hemispheres aching insanity taking / apart the peace of mind to blind places // now unable to find entwined manic / these tight cables to wind designed panic / pacific and Atlantic combatants / deliver what is tragic sink titanic // and this life raft wont be abandoned / so much to see that hasn’t been planned yet / locked these two in life like tides moon planet / no matter where we land we’re never stranded.
