The Politician
02:09

A shake with a smile
To the strike of a dial
No fear when there's nothing to lose
Just a way to be amused
You came up with a way
To disgrace all the ones that wouldn't play your game
Chasing mirrors in a mask
Shelved reflections at the bottom of your sheltered past
And it's all or none, cuz
It's you or everyone
The politician
Such a common condition
No feet but you got the shoes
Hands that always work in twos
You came up with a name
And a face that you know would fit a picture frame
Turning tides have taught you patience
The stars have made you their new sensation
And it's all for fun, cuz
You are everyone

Blessed are the people that are filled from their pantries
The fancy run this shanty - we need a vigilante
Never in the clear, but we still persevere
Scrapping to get by we are the final frontier
We dance with the devil so expect no pause
We’ve got flaws aint got laws we’re fucking animals
Bastards outclass us but they all have gods and masters
Their ethics keep em in shackles
Yeah so I fixed at work again
They said pack up I said amen
And now im stuck in fucking traffic
Another drag im down to plastic
Oh how I wish that I could fly
The bills are high but so am i
Below the bridge the waters cool
Im tired of being the fucking fool
Step out the car they start to honk
Say goodbye to this old punk
The wind draws near as I approach
I step off into the unknown
Your wrists are tied and your hands are numb
It's the price to pay for the continuum
Your lifes a lie and your minds gone dry
It's the cost to own your condominium
Your spirits shattered but the price is low
It's the trade you made for your dominion
Yeah nothing matters unless it costs
What a costly engineered illusion

Please Yourself

Please yourself reactive ass motherfucker
Then redact all the shit on your mind
Flee from those that compromise security
No one is worth it when theres shit on the line
Well tell me all about it
Why don’t you tell me about it
Why don’t you tell me about that
When you just watch on the sidelines
I don’t think that youre a puppet
But I wonder why you always nosedive
Creeping around in the shade of your blinds
Yeah fucking around speaking of chains
I don’t think you really want change
If faking’s enough to feel okay
Faking the funk that’s around you
Not giving a fuck about what you do
Collecting the praise and the gratitude
Forgetting that your voice has magnitude
I don’t think that you are real
Yeah I don’t buy into your speel
When all is bled out of your soul
Just remember that this is the art of the deal
Free
As much I can’t be
I want it so badly and I want it now

Virtuous Industry
02:54

My blood it boils into the rhythm - this urgency to revolutionize
Curve the ball for the batter batter batter batter swing only when it feels right
They twist and churn your story for the likeness of their image (they take)
They scratch and prod your mind until your brain feels pillaged (they make)
They’ll box you up inside, and hang you out to dry, they’ll rinse you and repeat you every rising tide
They told us what we’re worth and to sign on the line and to not forget the waiver or we’d be chastised
They’ve made a map of all our teenage transgressions - memoirs made out of scars
They told us we can market you just turn up the aggression - directions made of pretensions
In the entertainment business we are entertained by you - and your longevity is based on what we can accrue
Off you
Big bang loud hook
Don’t you love our virtuous industry
Live in perpetual idealism
Just listen to the wokeness of the rhythm
Shimmy to the left now we shimmy to the right
Are we right in the context of our lives
Yeah the fuzz come and go
All the pitchforks and the trolls
It’s a circus that’s made on money

Tough Baby
04:34

You met your moment of truth
It's the pain that bogged you down
Took too long to discover
You yourself needed to recover
Fighting a past that wasn’t finished
Finding shelter in a mirror image
Feeling numb, but all along
You never felt like you belonged
4.54 billion years that’s hang-time
Tough baby on an odyssey so hang tight
This body’s celestial no stage fright
This mind’s a pipe bomb for the parasites
Beat the dog and lock him up without a light
Lock him up, leave him, keep him outside
Leave him to the night
Leave him outside
Beat the dog and lock him up without a light

Criminal
06:11

|

I'm still here just feeling restless cuz im facing time
I have been labelled as a criminal
He's not here because death came for him when i was nine
Since then i've been feeling so cynical
I've been lost because i could not find my place in life
Reality is so conditional
So what they want is to raise bars build walls and draw the line
By design we are divisional
I guess a system that shines on few but leaves most behind
Means most of us are just invisible
We’re fucking fictional

115 At Night
03:01

|

Cross fade its 1:15 at night
Two wounded worlds collide
Their frailty disguised
1500 block
He was idling there
One man's safehouse was
The other man's grave
They told him he was trouble never-ending struggle
City from the rez do or die was his survival mechanism
Prison wisdom no capacity just incapacitated
Strangulated by the juvenile incarceration
segregated from the suboxone to cops own prejudice of him
this would’ve been a unified pessimism
but reality told him pull the trigger

Whos the real fiend when all your friends are fiending
What's really there to dream when hatreds all you’re feeling
What's in the cards when energy is spent on booking
Teenage offenders while our institutions crooked
Young misdemeanors are the actions of late bloomers
Our ancient leaders withered early to their hubris
No ascendancy decides when we stop growing
Amend the constructs that define how we are chosen
If those around you are the only ones you got
That doesn’t make the rest of us an afterthought
if I wasn’t able to stay in line
It makes me wonder
Where to go
So you got snubbed
dealt the wrong hand
for no reason
scrapped all your plans
Thought you were cursed
said you were damned
Said you were lost
Couldn’t be found
hole in the wall
calendar drops
court dates are near
dust your hands off
put on a shirt
Without the wine
Don’t you dare do
another line
another line
No It’s not fine
Not this time
Another rhyme
To remind you
Of the very place
You left behind
Without a trace
No saving grace
No saving face
Just face up
Face your mistakes
And learn from
What you can’t erase
What you can’t erase
You’ve got to embrace

They say the best thing for you to do is address the pain
You really fucked up your whole life its such a shame
But then you say oh please what can i do to remain
The best thing for us all is if you simply refrain
Well listen i dont wanna be - a pest so ima ask you nice
Dont listen if you’ve never been, so fucked you’d wanna take your life
So down you cracking up inside, so lost you dropped off outta sight
If this headspace you’ve never been, don’t tell me what is wrong or right
SONKI
Cuz you’ve been talking about me
Yall need a common enemy
Yall need projections, mass erections, no reflections just commentary
Yall gonna go straight for the book
We gonna go straight for the hook
Dumb fuck you fucking drunk punk theres no way your bitch ass is getting off the hook
I’ve done my time but i can tell
You thought that time would just repel
My soul my love my center but I cannot be broken by Hell
