GENESIS 04:40
Create the world That you and I Could be living in now In a wonderful life Even if you thought You would never design You should never resign We could never decline I’ll break my back I’ll break the bank I’ll break my heart Just do my part I am here until I got nothing left Nothing ever lasts If we never start If we never start To create the world That you and I Could be living in now In a wonderful life Even if you thought You would never design You should never resign We could never decline I’ll break my back I’ll break the bank I’ll break my heart Just do my part I am here until I got nothing left Nothing ever lasts We all start The same in the beginning Just a thought a father had And never written it He told me that Id be more than infinite Start off as liquid And End up ubiquitous I was sick of him for telling me That every enemy Was just another victim And I The remedy Drew blood When I first talked back Handed me a mic And then he said To spit in it Once written it could never be erased So I never wrote a line I was afraid to make mistakes Even God made darkness when he created light So at the end of the night I’d learn to fail in his grace Before I ran tracks I would fall on my face Made a terrible beat But today that aint the case Stop setting the bar low You aint a star yo This is not growth But it’s a start though Ready setta go Countdown To reset the Flow Create the world That you and I Could never Forget to know Set the note To a higher state of eloquence I can do what nintendont On my genesis I can do what nintendont On my genesis On my genesis I am living the dream Just a brother from the illipines Everytime I got to cut a beat They call it guillotine This ain't a euphemism so that you’d abuse it But is a metaphor that I can kill it in the music And right now I just want to be me This canvas Is my face on a green leaf Spray painted in white ink In no particular Order We are what the stars look up to But more than Northern lights I am an Organism with an overbite If you need it you can have my Endo reticulum overnight Giving it to the limit Im in it until I own the right To go and give life Through the pen Better hold it tight. Look in the lens. Use less light When I’m useless I’d Be the first to abuse And confuse this Aite? So grab a pad And use this. Write. Ready setta go Countdown To reset the Flow Create the world That you and I Could never Forget to know Set the note To a higher state of eloquence I can do what nintendont On my genesis I can do what nintendont On my genesis On my genesis Create the world That you and I Could be living in now In a wonderful life Even if you thought You would never design You should never resign We could never decline I’ll break my back I’ll break the bank I’ll break my heart Just to do my part I am here until I got nothing left Nothing ever lasts If we never start If we never start To create the world That you and I Could be living in now In a wonderful life Even if you thought You would never design You should never resign We could never decline I’ll break my back I’ll break the bank I’ll break my heart Just to do my part I am here until I got nothing left Nothing ever lasts Ready setta go Countdown To reset the Flow Create the world That you and I Could never Forget to know Set the note To a higher state of eloquence I can do what nintendont On my genesis I can do what nintendont On my genesis On my genesis If we never start To create the world That you and I Could be living in now In a wonderful life Even if you thought You would never design You should never resign We could never decline I’ll break my back I’ll break the bank I’ll break my heart Just to do my part I am here until I got nothing left I got nothing left

No matter how far you go I will sing that song you wrote Hidden in my heart I know You will always be my home I hope That anywhere that you would be You will always think of me Maybe even in my dreams Hopefully Finally We could be I can feel you close though you’re so far Try to find you in the dark like a sonar (So hard) Solar Flash Like a North Star Let me travel to your heart Flash Gordon Last boarding Hold the train traffic door I Will do any Plenty of time to Go home or go hard be inanimate If I couldn’t be where you are This instance I missed it I'm sick of This distance Had to find peace But it's hard to power thru Like a Megazord on Some molecular slow part Calling Zordon Distance is my Goldar More phenomenal That I could follow you from Cali to Bali to globe trot Fighting all my demons Gozar Running from the thought of you Is how I broke down Had to wait away the pain and stop this find a way to weigh my options I got this Let the show start. No matter how far you go I will sing that song you wrote Hidden in my heart I know You will always be my home I hope That anywhere that you would be You will always think of me Maybe even in my dreams Hopefully Finally We could be I feel you close Though you’re so far away No more miles in between us let the distance just fade, just fade Even the moon, needs the sun to shine The way my heart needs to know that you’re still mine You're imprinted on the inners of my eye lids// Using Siri so I can peer into your iris'// I mean yea I've been rerouted before, I've been// Havin flashbacks of walkin out of the door and i was// Thinkin..maybe one last kiss maybe// One last touch maybe one last this and// That last bar coulda went another way if I'da// Rhymed another word, but, that's neither here nor// There like your current position in relation to me// I felt the current when kissin and the way that we speak// Now, over email and texts, but// We're beyond say like the female from Texas// Yea, how far is too far// Too far is never wherever you are// A way to weigh the pain to stop this, find a way to// Weigh my options I got this stay let the show start// No matter how far you go I will sing that song you wrote Hidden in my heart I know You will always be my home I hope That anywhere that you would be You will always think of me Maybe even in my dreams Hopefully Finally We could be I feel you close Though you’re so far away No more miles in between us let the distance just fade, just fade Even the moon, needs the sun to shine The way my heart needs to know that you’re still mine

CITY NIGHTS 04:55
What time it is? 3 am? I'm fine with it When the sun set We can sip moonshine Maybe two times No matter what night it is So Loosen up Or tighten it Go hard like light ening We got one life to live I woke up like this I woke up like this Track turn to gold Cuz I be king Midas I used to be the shy kid From the illipino island I've been On too many stops Now you never ask Who the flyest? Started rhyming Gotta be 9000 Tops Tell me the future Come out and say it Get money to line the wall Like we living 69 at bayard I'm playing The city like a second set of D&D Took a trip on the BQE LIE Try to find where I be? I am always here Always home VenAqui Represent even till I leaf Where I live Where I breathe So enter It's written inside of my skin With a pen so The city is center where everything ends up Get schitso On an instro Mental City nights Can't nothin hold us down We bout that life We bout that life City lights Ain't nothin bright as us We own the night We own the night On the express line Tryin to come up on the seven It's how I go on tour Best time To write them rhymes Is standing clear of them closing doors I am a product of Michael Jay And that eighties noise Im faded No grip on gravity This ain’t a baby’s toy Write with the mind Speak with the heart Hold up, Let’s restart I’ll spit that sixteen slow If I be the king This where the queens go It’ll be in the heat of the best Everything I see In the LES Create a world of fiction As vibrant as my addiction Stars in the sky I learned to fly there And when they fall down My high is Times squared Don't get blinded by the people Beneath it we all be see-thru Indeed we could all be equal But we focus on the different And This is how we move the east coast We walk on broken backs just to seize throats Help me turn the Hudson River into wine Ill deliver you the spine So we could At least grow City nights Can't nothin hold us down We bout that life We bout that life City lights Ain't nothin bright as us We own the night We own the night 718 212 When opportunity is calling me I’m calling you This is how we scrape the sky Everyone is on the roof However even them tallest towers can be falling too The bigger the pride the higher the weight When they occupied the streets Who won the entire debate? I’m tired of hate But all these east coast rappers Just want to spit flame I need to find my own fire escape So just Give me a pad and a plume, go Get me a blue boat Leave me on Pluto Youtube a new flow I’ll do what you don’t Never been the one to have to stop Got to keep up Never backing down Gotta make my own parents proud Gotta show this whole town This Filipino couldn’t be any hotter Than Philippine hurricane wind Don’t know how to slow down So when the storm moves Learn to slow dance These streets got too many fingers not to hold hands Cant nothing hold us down We about that life Ain’t nothing bright as us We own the night City nights Can nothing hold us down We ‘bout that life We ‘bout that life In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made, oh There's nothing you can't do

When you’re only at the top Where do we go? And I didn’t have to give up And lose my soul Maybe it’s time to live up And lose control We can never stop We can never stop, no Back in the day When I represented Tech Brooklyn I played my tape red Until my tape bled Recording hot 97 on a clear cassette Flex dropping bombs with my girl angie Martinez Mom working nights So I can read and write Dad don’t want to be illegal Memorize the bill of rights My friends want to rock sick Mike J’s And start fights I wanted to start sick rhymes And rock mics So who am I? It is hard to say Do or die Life after this life Isn’t for me To decide You got to learn to fight the night Forget your feelings cuz You stop learning how to give it up This is what having does And I had it all On top of the ladder We’d rather had taken advantage The damage landed And then I had to fall Reminding me that every step I take I take with yall Never saw the bottom Cuzweonly standing tall Whenyou’re only at the top Where do we go? And I didn’t have to give up And lose my soul Maybe it’s time to live up And lose control We can never stop We can never stop, no The rise and fall of a character is inevitable not all the fruits you bear become edible, incredible how half these mafkas go about it, fold their hand, thinking the game is overcrowded The media got us living vicariously through others Trapped in, watching the game from under covers Expose our insecurities, to tell us what we’re missin Refuse to live my life around what everybody isn’t Dreams of wood grain..plush leather in the ride Revving ,clutch shifting…bad chick on the side Do it for the money, cause the money buys the dream But when you finally get it ,it ain’t always what it seems Im by passing you haters… I’m headed to the top Unstoppable, Full throttle , giving everything I got Impossible is nothing, Ethan Hunt , I’m on a mission Ambition for the vision trumps, no matter the condition When you’re only at the top Where do we go? And I didn’t have to give up And lose my soul Maybe it’s time to live up And lose control We can never stop We can never stop, no I can see my destination but i just don't know what route ill take like "a tribe called quest" i'ma "find a way" wheni spread my wings, you can bet i'll take flight throw me in a -fish tank- i would be that -great white- (shark) try to sell us bullshit, the imagery of grandeur asked a lot of questions that nobody wants to answer i know you might be thinking that you prolly heard this mantra i'm just being honest, hope you realize my candor Promised you would know me, progress happens slowly pain and perseverance got me moving past the old me don't forget your roots, know your classics and your oldies i am living proof, and im bringing all my homies when all is said is done, i will be that number one not afraid to fail and they wonder where the hungers from when all is said is done, i will be that number one im headed for the top, tell me what you're running from Only at the top, only at the top Only at the top, only at the top Only at the top, only at the top Can we bring the place down We can never stop, we can never stop We can never stop, we can never stop We can never stop, we can never stop We can never stop the boom bap of the sound.

SELLOUT 03:10
How can I save my soul? Really sort of hard to live on faith alone You already know opportunity has gotta knock-knockon the door And I'm all set to go. It’s about 5 in the morning, all alone and Wish that y’all could evensee me in the zone. Can I be a testament? If I’m living every day right but the rest I don’t? Know this, that I lost focus, Could've been a hip hop soldier fightin for the whole globe; But oh no; could’ve been kings for so long. Not since I’ve been a lost prince in Queens I let my soul-glo. Make a logo; throw a dope show, we both know who to go to: Mr Manaloto. And I could write a solo I'm all about the written, I'm kidding, I don't know I want to sell CDs I want to sell out seats Be everything that I said I'd be They tellin the truth That I can not see Every word in the booth Is an L I E So Cest las vie To the hell I leave And then I breathe in And then I'm free How can I sellmy soul? How can I sell out me? Get hot on the microphone Live life like the limelight Is a type of home Ain’t nobody want to see me On their Desktop or phone Overload Firefox And stop the Chrome We illegally Down loading If you’re listening loud How do you now own me? Am I your only? Who really be mind controlling? that's in the past TBT You cant Even delete me Everybody wanna bop To the dope drop to the head DDP So I see these greens For the cd sales I would never pretend that this fame isnt ill But I never could sell out my name for the bill I will live it to kill it And now I am filled I want to sell CDs I want to sell out seats Be everything that I said I'd be They tellin the truth That I can not see Every word in the booth Is an L I E So Cest las vie To the hell I leave And then I breathe in And then I'm free How can I sellmy soul? How can I sell out me? This is today; that I did miss the way we used to play safe. We had an illusion that we would not lose it and every day we could stay great. I considered my words to be nothing, Llke we were just poets with nothing to say. Maybe You could sit, stay. I need to spit on this stage. I anticipated any elevated written hate, my master plan is to eviscerate, so listen, hey. If you could step into the ring and fling a written eight and spit a bit of fate Then we can sit and wait until the sky would break in two and make the people levitate; Unless it be more effortless for us to lessen weight. The lesson is that we invest in us and learn to hesitate to sell out And sit down And yes let’s create. I want to sell CDs I want to sell out seats Be everything that I said I'd be They tellin the truth That I can not see Every word in the booth Is an L I E So Cest las vie To the hell I leave And then I breathe in And then I'm free How can I sellmy soul? How can I sell out me?

If you love say love. Say Love Love. If you love say love. Say Love Love. Love me for me Love you for you And everything you say Is everything I do I’ll do it all Everything I do Is love. If I didn’t have you Would I rather die? This had to be handled in sanity And I’d rather not My love is too wide To stand in Front of the bullet You cock it and pull it Aim it at my heart And then decide Is this really love? Or is it pride? Didn’t want be another body counted to your fold Would have gotten every automatic magazine and had them Taken apart in the way that I could’ve been covered in metal and platinum, gold See I’ve been everywhere to know that everything will go As long As the love That you have I would know To put the pin back before the heart explodes Blaze every path Ignite the road I’m carrying the scars of the last battle Hand to hand combat She my posttraumatic episode So where have you been all my life? I’m indebted to you cuz you’re loving me, right? Love me for me Love you for you And everything you say Is everything I do I’ll do it all Everything I do Is love. I'm not another wack cat That lack the respect To run the race track and act like I’d even expect To kiss that soft spot on the back of your neck You're like the Charizard card I had to collect put the heart into the track Giving my head heat Life in the boom bap I am not a dead beat Said We could be a moment Unfolded Into the morning I noticed That everything around me Doesn't even hold it In comparison Even the blind can See you look You're a sexy librarian So can I read your books? I was hoping to open the part where you design the magnum opus and started to have and hold us Don't take too long with the makeup and shoes I fell in love with the way your eyes Tell me the truth Even outside of the booth I will love you for you Love me for me Love you for you And everything you say Is everything I do I’ll do it all Everything I do Is love. If you love say love Say love love If you love say love Say love love Say love Let me hear you say love Love me for me Love you for you Everything you say Is everything I do I’ll do it all And everything I do is love Love me for me Love you for you Everything you say Is everything I do I’ll do it all And everything I do is love

WITHOUT AIR 06:17
What have you mastered? My last trick was faster Move past death; We crash wrecked. But nothing's set in stone, We asked if we would have lasted in past tense, Is that your last breath? What are you waiting for? I could’ve been in that great unknown But I could not stop just to break a vow That I'd try to be the best man alive And it's sad to see that ya’ll rather not Wanna rush to jump but not take the time So now take the bow. I’ma end it now. Catch your breath You need it more We need to know. What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? I want to hear you roar. Where you at Asian America? Had to move Far East to hear us on the stereo Forty years since “EnterThe Dragon” and we let that carry us? I'm mad enough. Fine little island person and I'm having none. Fire; water; Even though I'm drowning nowI can erupt. So ha-ha, we just got done; goodbye now? Come find out. Stackin up like pai gao Go with the gut but I'm tactical What're you holding your breath for? Can't lie down if you're standing up. Now I fell bad,I was hurting; Laid off Every daylate so I took a vacay So I could lay down and contemplate fate But I prayed and living every day is a pay off They could say I came back from the grave Draw life like a purple crayon I will run harder and farther Than the line that every circle stay on So play on. Everybody got a reason they should stop Even as I write this I got to ask is it hot enough To get me to the top, Will I drop or not? But not for naught; And not for nothing Gotta fight hard to find the last breath So I could take death while I stand for something And the last time back You said Next time that You would last for all of Eternity Don't turn on me Catch your breathe You need it more We need to know What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? I want to hear you roar. Flip on the laptop, big identity switch I'm a mascot And that's to my own wit and a back drop Another switch and I sit on a cash crop A better grip then a sip of the last scotch Then it hits and I trip when they dance by Give a tip for the lip, little ten spot Then I cringe, gotta dip to the franchise Head spins when I rin tin tin to the train-spot Arrange it within, put a check in the blank box I'll mock mock mock you in a generous mood Then regenerate you and your robots When I got this oxygen Start feeling better when the toxins win The way paved when the prophets sing Got my arm raised in a boxing ring Burn another CDR Giving CPR to these CB stars Drinking PBR in a Tiki-bar Eating CBR with a mean streak hard Buy a VCR, play antique guitar Thinking we be charred, really seems bizarre When the weekends are in a decent bar Then I plead retard Get a free recharge in the sequence This art form's on point Like a dartboard you can't avoid But a sharp sword we can enjoy Harpsichord for a sullen droid But without air, I'll love the zombiance Arise, didn't think rebirth would be so gruesome They said it took balls so I grew some And the last time back You said Next time that You would last for all of Eternity Don't turn on me Catch your breathe You need it more We need to know What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? I want to hear you roar. This is thin air. Exhale with an accent I could sit here. Suffocating Like I'm in the deep end Where the beat bang bang bang, It's a wasteland. I have been there. Hold your breath; Gotta inhale. Got to get growth like I would've let go. About three years in the making But I'm taking steps to continue, Everyone is waiting. Hard to be the one when you feel like a part of me Is atthe bottom and I gotta need a lobotomy I don't want to be on my last breath And my bad debt is the only one to follow me. So I start at the crack of dawn. The sky still black; Mastadon. Pass it on to the next wannabe Galactus Acting like you don't want to be attacked at all Find me a lyric to be snackin on; Toast wheat Jelly peanut butter, Better wrap it up. Remind me when you had enough. I’m still standing up. Two Xanax and I'm getting live And we getting loud within a half an hour. I could never rest on the weekend when you hit the peak and you're tappin’ out. I could never doubt that I'm living everyday like I'm not a whole lot, But I got a hole that I got to go clot And I won't stop; It's like breathing; My reason for being; And I know now And the last time back You said Next time that You would last for all of Eternity Don't turn on me Catch your breathe You need it more We need to know What are you waiting for? What are you waiting for? I want to hear you roar. You said that all of this is so you can show the world; That you can hold your own; but I wonder if yo. Are you really bout to do the things you said you would though? What are you waiting for? I want to hear you roar.
