Trapped like a rat between the muenster and the maze And the ear on your back hears the groan of the grave Like a mule approaching sticks dipped in orange shades of wisdom But I’ve eaten too many carrots to be ticked by faulty vision Blame the system, blame a Christian, blame every faceless -ism But don’t let that looking glass fall before the rigid digit Listen, step on in through the wretched omelette barrier byproducts None of us clean, most of us washed up Can’t wait to stick my fork amidst the petty pasta Spit and make your noodle wet, poodlesque cabachkas Ariella, I hope you heard that one My tracks host more antics than Scranton These grassroots grasp downward from inside the seed package And I never roll alone like Rs in Spanish Hard to manage, my alter egos fall near the tree though Can’t decide which obvious green joke to make, no Cee-Lo And the beat goes on, like life, like how you carry After checking keep calm of your to-do list, necessary Imperative, urgent, this is very disturbing Where are these herp derp entertainers awkwardly blurting words from Well it’s something to learn from like history, I’ll be snickering Satisfied while y’all flop around in a bucket after I struck it These words are worth a thousand pictures, more than your video Really though, I been left in the hall, no Arsenio Forget it yo, I’m trying to prove the ghost of Eyedea wrong I’m thankful for the roof I may refuse to fiddle on Skill beyond my line of vision, I’m sand you shall not build upon I’m silicon, trying to find my way into a MILFy blonde Like that Billabong logo, I’m waving to the shit you on ‘Cause I will not look back after today and say I did it wrong Rappers are dumber than a Genie whose parents granted no wishes Probably catch some of y’all washing your man’s bitch’s dishes I’ll stich a smooth loosie out of deadly components And I don’t even want to know what composes opponent bologna Lame brains get knocked solid square out of blockheads I’m trying to fly the coop with two chickens in my cockpit Plus a turkey to gobble my knob on the job I hop on pop with tetanus cleats, turn Seuss stories to sob Used to be mob rule, stick-up kids robbed fools Then the middleman got cut out for his pumps and his jewels And his 8-ball jacket, cooked the code up and I cracked it I just hit the pipe cleaner, he bent easy backward Now the bottom bunk rail flails on top Gravy train tracks caught on like the cash crop No confederate kingdom, I watch the throne but the king’s dumb You don’t like it, kiss the finger adjacent to the ring, son. I woke up this morning on the wrong side of promotion And noticed over the fence the greener foliage needed mowing Seated only in the zone of bleeding noses Breathing, blowing steam and smoke in freezing coldness Breeds corrosive, imitate my sweeping scope I’ll leap the boat and teach the proletarians to believe in ghosts Lethal doses, split into meals and morsels, years and moments Tears and tokens, beers and roaches, sneers and soda I rap soul older than togas and olive crowns Slept on like solid ground, put your quarter up, dollar down Tap my coffin in a century and check the hollow sound Big head, wise beyond my age like Rollo Brown Not a role model, but I’d like to roll with models Covert hostile, leave you red like an open novel Perspective often makes the complicated commonplace I never contemplate your “cooperate, tolerate, corroborate” Moral mentality, I swim past ocean floor coral forums And corporate warzones to the warp zone, hoarding misfortune It’s a game of zilch accumulation so I’ve got to force you out like abortions For swarming on one too many gourmet portions And the orphan doesn’t sing unless Warbucks can afford it When you’re done, just wave your blank flag towel canvas high and forfeit

If you’re selling sofas, I’ll overthrow the whole Ottoman Empire To admire the entire regiment of men fired I yell “fire” in a crowded theater to give the exit sign Some recognition, and because the stampede can’t stay hidden Ad-libbing ambition, deliberately administer Analog systems manually adjust, spinning the Magnetic axis, attracting apples and reverse it Evaluate who’s flyer than true north pointed perfect Pandemic, seep into the lanky fuse of a cannon Hold a kite up to a lightning storm, develop understanding Stuck the landing, but badly off a mad activist backflip Followed the train of thought into the forest where the track splits Into mag clips and machinery- two types of tools One lay desolate by the wayside, the other brings knives to school Punctured the bubblegum hollow globe and popped it Obnoxious polyphonic vernacular ain’t a part of this Lock three circus rings between binder covers, stuff it In a rusty locker, airport security couldn’t snuff it They sniffed it and bust the nutshell trying to trust it Too bad the cut just never cut the mustard The king buckled his bible belt on native squatters at Times Square Bought it for a cowrie shell, sold it for a timeshare Beware, the monster’s might is buried deep within his doom And it’s a scary thing that looms in pairs when independence booms Ensuing fumes illuminate the very lewdest reading rooms The newest recruit is you and every group needs your support too! I’ve been crossed more times than hot buns and shoelaces combined  The variable to mark a spot, the multiplication sign The road lined with the corpses of chickens we never laughed at The eyes of a child with too many chromosomes in his knapsack More times than the graven image of the greatest offspring And if I can’t get my cake then I’m scraping off the frosting Taping up the fleshwounds was a necessary measure When I spit flames, I cauterize the point where souls were severed Furrowed brows and pronounced veins the evidence of effort Observe, every effervescent beverage is a lesson Moderation, I been nice since there were nine planets Followed the white rabbit to depths of the wreckage of Titanic So I suppose the inconvenient truth is juvenile revenge Probe the piles for the single pin, deny all violent ends And common sense dictated a Kantian heuristic answer But who would you obey between the master and commander? Fresh off the pottery wheel, serve an eviction notice To your dinky diction’s focus, hocus pocus- plume of smoke and I can sorta hold a poker face when my deck is only jokers Chalice runneth over, fine, but next time, please grab a coaster Dictating incantations in an ancient deceased language The rake that’ll place discolored foliage on the pavement The lawnmower to make snakes in the Prarie State grass anxious I vanquish saints for Peter’s sake and invade the sanctum Chemical elements of exigence are essential My exigence of relevance enters through heaven’s pencil And the evidence is prevalent, irreverence on special When I Kanye West the pulpit Taylor Swiftly and then hold A notion, watch it bend and fold like seven deadly tent poles I will gladly choke the threshold if his neck’s cold And I’m not a hater, I’m an obliterator, eradicator Radically disapproving of y’all rats’ behavior Chase the favor of the savior and promises full as craters That one just exceed your split ends? Fuck it, I’ll explain later

A hand in every pot, a finger in your chili Deaf to the echoes of shots that linger in the city Kiddies with midi boxes and shitty problems are little competition ‘Cause I throw up more signs than a deaf bulimic petition Keep up, throw down, like a show with your meal? Watch me squander the savages without guns, germs or steel Great minds think alike, greater minds sabotage Damaged gods habitualize the recipe for camouflage Every one a master of the dialects of Babylon But has to non-aggressively settle for scolding chatterboxes Scatterplots indicate the trends on democratic backs The patterns go unnoticed like historic facts and holy acts By all except percentile-topping spokesmen of apocalypse The cockroaches anonymous thrive on tainted oxygen The rest would never follow ‘em, the way alone is treacherous The lecherous lethargic lumberjackers trudge ahead of us And grip a grudge but butterfingerfucker broke his toe with it In fits of fury clutched Pandora’s scabbing wounds and opened ‘em I stuck a feather in a Yankee shoulder blade and called it liberty Batshit swingin’ at wild pitches, let’s see who hits with me Medicine tumbles into a disgruntled body politic Bootstraps tangled in trust fund morale like “Occupy this!” And I’m once bitten, twice I bite the fuck back Runt of the litter I get around like hubcaps So run laps or get dragged back to the backstock Perused by sasquatch-looking lettermen in ascots Frigid dawn approaches as they all clearly resolve not To change a single thing after the hopeful glitter ball drops Call it graduation, maturation, however you name it Still the same old play with plastic cars that roll onto the pavement That grandma got run over by a Range Rover classic tale Updated to fantastic scale while onlookers shout “epic fail” Catch-phrase slot machines spew hashtag complacency To slavery, not the chains you see but oh, the arbitrarity! RAWR means “you’re flesh and empty calories” in dinosaur Stupid picker of the goat behind the final door Henceforth, I don’t need no psycho’s analysis To unravel the tapestry pulling on threads of arrogance Embarrassment’s what you could save yourself, man I’m warning ya ‘Cause you wouldn’t be the first to get all up in my George Foreman and Well, the predecessors got away with it, but how fortunate Do you feel at this instant, dipshit, I dare you, read off your coordinates I’m sorta sick while several spitters turn stale And right now there’s only one test I’d be sure to fail I’ll let a lying dog sleep still lest he alert the kennel And fizzle out between opposing flags of mirth and metal This classic urban kettle simmers witchcraft from a sick bag Fostering age-old mishaps, playing pucker up and kiss ass I’ll dickslap your tinman syntax through the lint trap Slick as a hydroplane and simple Jack slip crash, shit’s sad! My ships navigate waterfalls, chasing velocity terminal Sloppily groping gorillas promise property’s earnable What a punchline, that’s why I savor all this scattered sunshine Unwinding toy soldiers and hushing bellicose drumlines Whether done fine or dun goof’d, I’m armed with a spoof Parody scoop aloof mutes out of reindeer tracks on the roof Bazooka tooth fresh out of braces and pizza faces, thanks for playing I waste my time facebook stalking everyone carbon dated I’ll take an armor-plated vacation from degradation Only to arrive at a basement banquet with divine acquaintance.

Television hurts to watch, Harrison Bergeron type Curdling the milk with honeyed murder mops that herd the flocks Of birds atop the phone lines, burn a box of thirty blocks And polished the moon's dirty spots, telescopically project Uncertain shots to insert in cops, perfect pots to piss in Circular bottoms missing, working like common pigeons Jerking and bobbing for chickenscratch on a currently occupied Virgin providence mission, worthy dominant Christians Bourbon mongering spitting sermons, fondling children, spurning ominous vision Journey onwardly, pilgrim to learn the honor of wisdom Served promising riches but curved politics glisten With verbal lottery tickets while herb's not even legit But herb's popular in the suburbs, Colin you killed 'em With words, monikers spilled on the earth so the pommes are riddled With worms, God, could it get any worse? Positive, mix 'em A curse, bottle of liquid that burst, awesome addiction To hearse-operant stimulants, first compliment given Deserves confidence, wish he had heard, all about swimming With urchins, docile but vicious, they lurk, honest no different From surface-prominent figures, worthless autonomous critters Serving bombers for dinner, third entrees for sinners, Absurd holiday traditions sturdy as logical pillars I murmur constantly willing that nerds conquer this city Staring down a barrel of monkeys, sunken chest Bunkers blessed with the country’s best, happened to flunk the test Punch to death the arm of more fun than sex Walking on Humpty’s shattered carcass trying to dump the evidence Let’s plunder something next using a cunning muscle flex The humble buzzing breakfast clubbing munchkins blood and sweat We run in sets like milk from a mother’s breast with guns and regrets Continually convincing Noah why God won the bet Stumble into slumber sweetly, another blunder ‘round the bend Hunting something tore asunder, hunger howls again Lungs are sluggish from the summer sun and mirror smoke The ugly drunkard chucked his cup and hovered, subbing beer for coke Tugging hunches out from under unsuspecting pundits None of us is above it so we all must knuckle up and love it So what do I see in the cold, my breath or what I’m breathing? A sigh of bereavement for the pariah grieving messiah Heathen for hire heaving with fire breathing I’m tired Of being, tired of seizing entire evenings, I’m tired of leaving I’m wired and seeking buyers of decency to admire my frequency And I’m tired of eating expired meat from the tires Of jeeps, I require meaning for higher being disguised As a reason, my eye on the creeping spider beneath all the Chipping pious veneers, liars and thieves and conniving beasts Of a thriving breed that’ll size up your creed and decide People shall die for free, I’m wild leaping For side B shit designed secretly, shine heat up behind Reapers that climb trees to find sleep for their minds Keep from crying, lethal benign scenery Sigh deep as I dream of the night peacefully

He gave her his number, said it was his salary They laughed, she grasped it happily He was thinking about starting a family But she wanted to live fast and fuck casually She’s got a bunch of pals all by the heart strings Tangled in the short hairs, who cares, smart things Too dumb with this one, but it’s fun embarking On the road of angels, spangled with dark wings He gave her a ticket, they went to a show He bought her dinner and drinks, then drove her home Walked her to the door and leaned in slow She said “It’s pretty late so I think I’m gonna go.” She’s got a closet full of pricey hiding spots Boy scouts leap through loops failing to tie a knot Before the day she was first offered to try a shot She was just another wall-sprawled fly to swat She’s got a body that’ll compliment whatever She likes how many compliments it gets her Even in bad weather she rocks tight leather ‘Cause she knows that just like her it won’t last forever He gave her all of his cash and attention To try to chase away her fickle apprehension That sexual tension had him spendin’ Before he took a kitchen blade to her tendons She kissed him so sweet so mysterious She told him she didn’t want nothing serious He turned furious like “Whore, you delirious? I hit each and every one of your criteria!” She got nervous ” I just want to see other people!” And what transpired next was pure evil He brandished something metallic and lethal She screamed but her voice was feeble She’s got locks that curl like dove talons And a smile so killer it ended up in thugz mansion He couldn’t figure out what had just happened Remembered how he tasted wintergreen and touched satin In a rough fashion, into her flesh he cut canyons She sunk, ashen, he jumped into a drunk passion Slumped, spasmed, and hung himself from the one rafter That snapped, now he looks for a gun and a captive He had to make a couple quick stops To dump her lovely bloody cadaver before the bitch rots Into his head popped a sick thought After he cleaned his apartment, he headed for the pawn shop Paid for the pistol with a crumpled fist of bills Didn’t even count it all, he let his wallet spill Drove to the park where he used to chill But tonight he was looking for another kill Saw her shadow then spotted the source Crept up and swiftly with such force Jabbed the gun into her side, she gasped eyes wide He whispered “Did you think that you would die out here tonight?” Led her to his car, his senses reeling Still giddy with a senseless feeling Skin tingling, palm sweating against the metal He told her “Get down” and stepped on the pedal Took her to his place, moving real quiet It still smelled like bleach and violence He said “Take off your clothes real slowly I’d like to give you a chance to get to know me Before I put a bullet through your temple” Sobbing, the girl begged “Just be gentle” “I was once” said the man, then he smacked her She put her hand to her cheek then he grabbed her By the trembling wrist, and uttered “Kiss me, whore.” She turned toward him, someone beat on the door “Police! Open up or I’ll kick it in myself!” But he couldn’t just leave her for somebody else So he shot the girl right in her left hazel eye Put the barrel in his mouth and he started to cry “I couldn’t get laid and my life did depend on it!” Last words of a sick fuck then he bought it The cop bust in, saw the blood and the bodies And remembered “That’s that chick who blew me at that high school party” Damn...

I’ll take your fame, replace your name with a number and then crunch ‘Cause nothing tastes better than a not exactly free lunch “We won!” shout the kids on the peaks of heaps of classroom fodder Each one threw the baby up drinking all the water Mind your manners in this mirror house, remember, you’re a guest And there’s no such thing as a second-class citizen’s arrest The litmus test provides the necessary evidence Of basic requisite to neutralize corrosive eminence My penmanship protrudes prolifically, signalling misery The epitome of villainy, sheer malignancy And I’m stumped like deforestation, the reason is this you see I’m straight but quite put off by your frequent femininity Depending on my litany, I might construct a symphony But differently, not writing notes but planting trees for instruments And molding prodigies as prototypes of proteges As to protect my budding legacy if I should go away Distill my heart in a carton of artisans Renting a gentrified apartment from partisans with Parkinsons I only cross the tracks into that part of town when I’m tryna cop A dime of conversation in an empty parking lot  Harken back to basics, adding negligible products To reach integrity from the wrist of the exotic Now, who exactly are you hooligans fooling Thinking that Call of Duty truly produces a league of shooters Freddy Kruegers with lugers ain’t as scary as blue collars And boot-cut blue jeans to three-piece suiters Looters rootin’ for scuba sleuths snoopin’ on baracudas Light the buddha, bring the food out It’s past time To move out of your new house, the banks about to chew out So I’m in search of a fifth of Christmas spirits from Scrooge house Sounds strange from a Jew’s mouth but I’m not about  To spout some Hebrew for all of you, now Brew the Roibos and take a seat, take a knee I hate to speak about bread dough in a bakery Plus y’all ain’t cake to me, I hear cranial vacancy Like every celebrity thinks cheerios are bagel seeds (damn) And we can bake believe that faith be the safest creed But holy houses got more saps in ‘em than Maple trees Plaintiff, please, I got myself a case to plead I strain to see the resemblance between nature and Maybelline If God made man out of clay in a day Then you’re required to be fired before you can say You’re made, complete with extra-glossy glaze and the face Of the architect, the artist, the perpetual creation Grand me the the strength and serenity to beat the path of nature Act with grace and replace complaints with ladles full of praise I wake to drown each day- a cookie in a glass of milk I’m in a class of ill-wishers dishing to get a laugh and fill A casket, spill a basket in the woods, you’ll soon see who Is really big and bad or only howling to deceive you Believe you me, son, the picture’s different in the moonlight Pull apart and strum the string cheese, now tell me if the tune’s right Fumes rise from the tombs, might get the best of you slight- Ly achieved a new height with the destitute residue, fright- Fully foxes chew bites of the flesh in question The session price is set, the booth is just right to step in

Stupid Dumb 04:08
The dumb don’t speak, the stupid don’t listen Peruse the playground for that petty piece you’re missin’ The dumb don’t speak, the stupid don’t listen Munch a mierda meal then embark on your martyr mission The dumb don’t speak, the stupid don’t listen, yo… Released to reach the anticipated extra stair Certain to turn you scared of the emergency flare Open source, empty magazine, accelerate the atrophe And justify decay today is just another canopy I must insult another family to paralysis so analyze My parables and feed them to domestic animals Look, dogs may bite, bees may sting My favorite scene is you, mangled and suffering And another thing, this insurrection bubbling’s fomented Unaware of its direction of momentum all these pent up speeches, love confessions Outrageous, fervid, furious, effulgence from the craggy peaks Where angels and vultures heard ‘em Concerned with the youth piercing the moldy petri dish With a penchant for muzzling huff and puff obsequious Khalifa kids And a preference for solitude, fortress bore no S Straddling the border of chin-tilting and dealing cordial threats Vipers wouldn’t hear him, windshield wipers couldn’t clear him From blocking the royal chauffeur’s vision, buzzing in his hearing Leads to, countrymen tearful and gentry fearful Wax poetic catch it like Posednik, pussy, get an earful Like, quick as a lightning bolt the doors and blockade The residual rabid patriots bloody from the parade telepathically tangle your tummy when the tall tales touch ya ‘Cause I can flow for days when I filibust ya You’re just a thorn in the side of freedom-fried eagle pride I play pretend that I’m Charlie Brown’s beagle fly, seagulls cry Gossip and trivial caper kindling Not afraid to spin this shindig into a Ringling I’m better than you’ve ever been, riding decorative elephants To rooms where the integrity is compromised by mentioning The all-important fourth wall, hallucinations fading Capture those colors and learn you can’t purchase a perfect painting Don’t faint upon the pavement now, no one down here will catch you Plus scar tissue does not translate well to a granite statue Infatuated with the best attributes to test aptitude Placed my order with mall santas, I’ve got you beat by a lap or two I’ll cannonball into the bath y’all drew for me and boil spectators Toiling desk labor and soiling the rest for paper I heard that every mongrel mutt may serve a sunset sentence So I’ll be prepping my acceptance speech with animation suspended Contention connects enemy rectums to my appendage Send ‘em on their way with a severance package and a pension Or, compress your accolades and saturate the cornucopia Or, take a bow and take your tired ass to Nova Scotia I’ll rip a random gladiator asshole out his sandals Tandem vandals panhandle poison berries for brambles Amble through the concrete jungle with a can-opening jackhammer Tracking a rolodex full of dirty laundry, empty hamper And a hammock woven from scorched flag strips and bandanas Cashflow immortalize heliotropic plants in granite The lyrical supremacist outside one word in a box Substance over presentation, am I purty or not? Must get rest, must warn nobody Must ingest zoological heirarchy When I give a damn, it bursts with a flood, not a trickle While rooting reflex invalids suck love from a nipple Duck swiftly, chuck finnicky, cut stingy What bit me, jump dizzy, snuff shifty Same clothes, I change flows and bang hoes (Well not really) Show up with a rose to Jane’s Doe (That’s still iffy) Alright, I try my luck and draw short straws But I can one-way videochat with a pornstar The eyes of the beholder decide, cover your shoulders And rise up like a soldier only you die older Italicize, bold it, run and tell it like I told ya CRYM’s colder, flyer than the most wanted poster.

Searchlights 02:43
Searchlights survey scalps scurrying the gridlock Cage lining stationary wheel with no pitstops And I tried to creep up sunbeams from lush screens But the beanstalk wilted alerted by hushed screams of my soaked sneakers squeaking Dope speaking heathen, broke seasons frequent But there’s no peak I see yet so I keep believing- Journey! To the center of a sugar-coated aftertaste Diabetic sacrifice, 8th grade aftershave Mayday macrame to pack away the frantic fray Take comfort in your crockpots, cookware and cabarets Your bunk beds, beach houses, beach houses, bombs and bomber jackets The calm before the blast hits enveloped the masses And sat on their chests, forcing ‘em to stare at the clouds Too many scuffed their muddy shoes at the gate, wearing the welcome out All this water under the bridge’ll wash the mural away So lets disagree for disagreement’s sake I’m eating high stakes cookie cut from the flank of a rogue bovine Who jump shot the moon and returned in to time I remember back in ‘09 this girl revoked my pick And sent me to the coal mine, thinking it was the gold mine (damn) So now my blackened lungs take shallow breaths But never acquiesce as long as blood pumps in a capulet Too accurate to be adequate, too ravenous to satisfy Too apple pie to be anti US, too raw to ratify And I’m high posting, exceeding high dosage High voltage, I spit calamine lotion On any rapper making rash decisions like acting skittish The rainbow doesn’t really end, here’s your pack of Skittles I’m struggling to steer like a novice asian thief So in response I’m turning over a sovereign nation leaf Seasons change, not for long, and when the sun should come around The raging tide regresses and relationships may run aground I tunnel out of bagging groceries into Shawshank Scratched the law blank, I’m indie, not tryna consort with snakes And now they rob banks in Highland Park, the fuckin’ lions Start turning on the pride when the order of the jungle’s dying I’m supplying the dopest lines since cocaina I’m so science I won’t be tied with the rope I’m weaving The horse I rode in on- flattened by the train I leave on And that’s the reason that I frequently get my MC on Relentless attempts to communicate with the essence Kept me stressin’ in my bedroom, guessin’ why I ain’t president yet Depressive sessions effervesce in a mess of seconds Pressure connects the blemishes settled in my collection I bless the meddling mentions of my complexion And render festive jesters relieved by their possessions Lacquer-lacking actors with acrobatic tactics Couldn’t match my my status, dismantle the lavish palace Half-wit captains ask where to go and how to get there I want to know why before I tread right into dread’s lair Step carefully, regret any air you breathe ‘Cause all the king’s horsemen collect all debt they concieve Faithfully cement every latent vacancy So when the cracks evaporate there’s no place left that’s safe for me
9.
Pressure 01:57
Childproof pill bottle cap screwed off from the pressure Get nailed, hammered and screwed up from the pressure The flesh above her kneecaps maroon bruised up from the pressure “Hello”s and “I love you”s used up from the pressure  Camouflage, dog tags and crew cuts from the pressure But he’s gotta keep his sugar boots shut from the pressure Semis sensitively snuck on a school bus from the pressure Stuck in bathroom stall cell eating her school lunch under pressure Thin as a magazine page tossin’ her food up from the pressure To find suitable pharmaceuticals and foodstuffs, it’s pressure The crazy studious race the moon up from the pressure And cosmonauts plant flags in moon dust from the pressure Hell, even Superman had to hide and suit up from the pressure
10.
Fables 03:17
How could you find your way home when the North star that guides you Is outshined by power lines, nobody lies to A deaf man with no eyes, who in high school Learned about apes who created the bible The shapes that confine you restrict you and bind you Bars break bars I’m behind, you can find new Signs of the time moving silently right through A crack in your mind the size of a haiku We understand this planet’s a rental Everything I do is marked with a pencil Erased by my rubber sole walking and bending Impending conception spoils the ending The message we send to galactic reception With ample connected static antennas To upset the active master’s agenda We act and pretend to be average and special Math is correct ‘cause the axiom said so It hurts to hold on, you have to just let go (Let go, let go, let's go!) You can bet your asbestos in your chest that I’ll explode like Coke and Mentos Gasp for breath, but then again, no See I’m desperate like the friend zone to see heads roll A dead rose has no less thorns Hell froze in its death throes, it’s me for whom the bell tolls At my discount shop we only sell used souls I could tell you weren’t driven when the hood felt cold And the wheels turn slower than the pedals, and my head’s so All over the map, scatterbrain Jane nappin’ in my lap I capture snapshots with rap and slap captions on ‘em When I blast, you dash like chlorophyll in autumn The songs sound better if you bought ‘em Calm and collected, armor protecting The heart that attacks the head, darkened legends Cat call and beckon, martyrs on the seventh To charge with their weapons, from smashed cars and wreckage We harbor the seconds of the day when it’s hard to detect the next one I cut my lip shaving, blood ran to my tongue I embraced the taste of mortality, took it in my lungs To become a crooked one like a backslash, wack glass cats get put on pause Two lines, the alligator snatched up and cracked his jaw Premium organic satin flow exposed like Janet Jackson Spanner to the plans of avid glancers at the cameras Panoramic banners hammer anthems out your mandibles Candid candles colder than Canada when I handle ‘em Pillbox on a pendulum when I swing with sublime substance Hilltops to the pelicans’ beaches in high abundance I throw punchlines while the drum kicks a beat until it’s broken This’ll be the dumbest, dopest fable ever spoken (And keep it going) Sip the sonic soda slowly so you don’t burn your throat Inspect the produce for the locusts Moses conjured when he spoke I smote the local anesthetic, globe is apathetic though Vocally bowl a gutter baller over after heaven stole My budding talent, let it grow, cremated into ash and mellow smoke I laugh at hellish jokes and only travel when it snows Compose a molecule from atoms and the evening from his rib The scheming bitch closed her window but she’ll fight for women’s lib We get dragged through flaming hoops by all the overeager leaders Might as well pledge allegiance to my penis, thesis equals Treason to believers in Jesus’s supremest ethos I shattered the strongest love triangle trying to find the secant So now I only work on the fuckin’ weekend, never for the week Survival of the fittest, flyest, illest to wield an obscene pen Wood grain arrow straight shot the apple off the tree And struck neo-Newtons brain-dead wickedly defy gravity Try fathoming twenty thousand leagues and being out Of all of them, welcome to the shit you recurrently dream about
11.
The Rest 03:22
I’m that bird that didn’t fly south I generate thermal stability with the couplets erupting from my mouth And sit beneath the constant water droplet ‘till the room floods Baptized by Old Faithful’s retarded cousin, take a huge gulp And spit a hundred billion vital molecules plus light diffraction Over shame parade brigades to match their rainbow badges We smoke that chicken soup for the soul out of colorful bowls For every soul embodied my posse dug a new hole My brush strokes cut throats, lyrics don’t touch most Ashes in the air, embers fresh from the duck roast You versus me is the Titanic against a tugboat I unexpectedly survive and you steroidal thugs wont So kill the urban legends like Jimmy Henchman, peasant Or you’ll be staring down Dick Cheney’s weapon, questioning friendships I haven’t slept in days, that mental sedative That draped my reality in a faithful daze is getting thin My heart clenches pumping tap water, recycled with the get and give Selections fall like Tetris figures, I’m through accepting this Inspection kills the particles that function sans scrutiny My lectures purge barnacles that clung to the last eulogy Used to be populating populating uselessly, foolishly Abuse an opportunity, never that, bafoonery Soon to be undisputably bigger than stupid with jewelry Dubiously say I, praying high, but futilely Sooner be in the biography section penning alternate endings And chuckling condescending at topics trending So what I don’t have distribution, I’ll have your district moving Step aside, empty-eyed mouth breathing institution My astronomy don’t recognize your nebulous ignominy My economy has no sector for you as a commodity Your progeny propagates problems, I scribble solutions In conclusion, you table salt of the earth dissipate movement I’m a time traveler in training, I can get in it, on it, over it And out of it, I just haven’t figured out how to move through it But I’m not stupid, I reverse time and emit so much suet That they’ll have to start equating me to fewmets and sewage I’m the shit and the colon, I’m the kid that goes bowling And doesn’t so much as cough when I smell the gun smoking Only joking, don’t go and get your fallopians in a twist Like Joe Rogan I factor fear and foil perpetual optimists The tension in your shoulders cries for tender firm mysoginistic Entitlement, how dare I ever ask you what the problem is Uncommon insight from looking inward my whole life Standing with the trees and snowflakes watching you load dice Ponder your purpose and propose what you’re protecting ‘Cause what I spit is not the truth, it’s just another perspective Collectively wreck ships, we run life boat companies! I’m a monster, that must be why so many turn and run from me My crystal stair shattered under my combination of avarice Ambition, potential and plain old fucking flabbiness But happiness ain’t a feminine finger beckoning hither To me she’s a regular sister, inevitably I’ll miss her When she’s off making the rounds with twice-checked lists clutched Sometimes we argue when she visits, I raise my voice and hit the Bottle against the bar, my limbs are limp and now I’m ready To wrap myself in repose, the rhythm’s slow and steady So I smile ‘cause that sample is is sweet and that line killed it The world is here for me, I just have to take the blocks and build it

about

CRYM's first official album in collaboration with DJ Triple M, Axioms combines personal reflections and revelations, social and psychological themes, and somewhat Dadaistic imagery into what now sounds like an incredibly pretentious original LP. Employing deft wordplay, varied rhyme schemes, and creative, abstract metaphors, the only thing better executed than Axioms's lyrics are opposing rappers.

The beats, composed by Muscle Man Max aka DJ Triple M, complement CRYM's lyrical style and flow and reflect Triple M's extensive musical background with no previous forays into rap/hip-hop. Rather than sounding basic and novice, however, the instrumentals represent as fresh a take on the musical aspects of the genre as the lyrics do the content aspect. A phenomenal talent in every effort he's shown the world thus far under a myriad of monikers, Max Loebman's production is at least half of Axioms's battle.

Ironically, it seems to be Axioms which might earn CRYM the self-aggrandizement that abounds in his first two mixtapes, Off the Spectrum and Street Robot (available for free download on www.soundcloud.com/crym/sets ). All proceeds from album and track sales help fund the Chicago Arts Partnerships in Education charity.
