Wite-Out 02:22
Who's in charge, well you'll find it's me more often than not. What you started gets hung up because I'm calling the shots. I see far because it's easy to see all from the top. It seems harder I don't keep the rap apart from the rock. From the right to the left, settle up when you're down like a fight to the death. It gets tight in your chest, breathe in when you're out and your lights are a mess. Not a type for the rest, get in touch with yourself all that's righteous is left. And it might be the best. Gimme a new hint, I'm not getting the damn twist. To me the blueprints are written in sans scripts. Don't find it a nuisance to question a man's wit. There's no show fit, it's not cause you planned it. Hands in huddle let's stick to the game plan. Escape's subtle but quick to the safe land. Shake with the other don't kill with the same hand . Some say I mumble and speak like the rainman. I rain dance the floor. Can't take damage at the hands of storms. Places are savage, some lands at war. A placement advantage and so I thank the lord. And while I make doors open and I set the bar. I'll remain soft spoken and I'll bet the farm. Complain that's it's broken and you've found the harm. A way that is chosen by me and has sound alarms. Who's in charge, well you'll find it's me more often than not. What you started gets hung up because I'm calling the shots. I see far because it's easy to see all from the top. It seems harder I don't keep the rap apart from the rock. x2

New Leaves 02:43
Faced a decision so I make a stance, and so I'm asking the women "will you take this dance?". And if you step with me you better make it damn quick, and together we'll shape the planets. Shake your hand and nod in agreement. The diagnosis plan is to shock your treatments. Nothing went wrong, they caught you sleeping. A reason to move on if all you got is even. We've been to the edge and back. Changing of the seasons don't remain intact. Rays are over-heating all the glacier caps, it's the claims that we're believing haven't faced the facts. Don't look back, I count the road signs. So I can forget how I found the whole time. Thought you'd ask, wonder if I chose sides. I'm not your type, but considered a close kind. So behind I was sent away. With nowhere to hide or to extend my stay. I though I would be fine on how we spend our date, I won't follow a design and then just separate. With nothing to say, I left a note at your bedside. Said there's no way and I can't follow a step line. Having set the place, I still feel like I got mine. In the end it's okay, I never signed the dotted line. The top side of the glass is half-full. The soft side of my act is bashful. Another part people call an asshole. Take your card and won't stop till I pass go. A battle to help win the war. I can't keep treading so I swim to shore. It ain't like it was it's no good anymore, but without too much fuss I got my foot in the door. Stories go, I put the book to my eye. Can't believe what I'm told, so I look to the sky. And I've seen what unfolds from the crooked designs. It may be getting old but it shook me inside. x2 Pass it off and I'll continue from here. There's no laughs at all the plot'll bring in the tears. On the path to fall but not into the clear. I got your call an awful ring in my ears. I got my flaws and now I'm sitting in fears. With no act or cause I'll keep drinking my beers. With no map or laws I'll keep spinning my gears. To be exact it's all on how I finish my years. x2

Shelly! 02:12
Break the chains, my firmware is jailbroke. I'll take the reins but need air like sailboats. The ways I make a tall order that fell short. Pace delayed I tripped over the damn chords. The base boards don't match the floor tiles. So paint over, treat it like it's your child. I take cover from your bad to bone style. And bring forth a new fad that's more wild. Sort files, haven't grazed the surface. It's been awhile now the razor burn hits. I walk a mile find a place to turn in. I tell no lies you know it's safe to learn this. I burn spliffs for a little relief. I write words and metaphors to add a critical piece. I fight wars and go to battle with a figure of speech. Tight scores, I get away like a political breach. In disbelief I hear it but I'd rather a sign. Like people cheering to the lyrics and they gather in line. It's getting nearer and it seems only a matter of time. These beats'll break your necks before they shatter your spines. I turn tree stumps to hot coals. Burned by obstacles, speed bumps and pot holes. Lost on the clock while we watch the talk shows. Testing was forgotten, we ain't free from the wrong codes. I wear ponchos and hip waders. And set out on a tour with cargo like ship freighters. I play a large role, providing a sick flavor. In hopes that it's a flow that coincided and it caters to most of ya'll and now the crowd was hype. You thought the game was over but we found a life. There's no shame to scold it if it ain't sounding right. I take aim and hold on what's coming down the pike. No the type and it's too large to fit. I put up a fight cause it's too hard to quit. I've been doing this for years don't need a starter kit. I'll contribute, now I feel that I'm a part of it.

The wind blows and now the months are chilly. And the people fit roles on the gaunt committee. Before boards on the windows it was once so pretty. And now that Madness takes over all of Hunter City. We're going in so we board the plane. With what we've left behind, can we afford the pain. Another song to find the sad chords to play. We'll divide the sides and they'll support the change. Go for range and then I close the gap and it's the orders placed on what's supposed to happen. Chose to wait so I could set the trap, in the course of their way, they fell for that. I keep going till I see the lake. The weeks are slow and so I speed the rate. There's no need to follow, but yo I need the space. To get to tomorrow ain't no piece of cake. I wake up and see you left me something. Enough with all the fuss that turns to deadly loving. I can't change the tape like I'm a Teddy Ruxpin. I'll leave it on the trails that seem to get me running. It's no fun to go over the price it takes on us communicating through your mobile device. The stakes get heated even though it seems I'm colder then ice. The city needs a better cleaning when it's holding a life. A sacrifice is made so we can please the gods. And holy Christ nobody's safe unless you beat the odds. They'll recite just what it takes and then increase the cost. When it's the end of our lives we'll decay like peat moss. Are we lost in their narcissism? Are they raising the rates for what they charge for living? You better check your pulse, and does your heart have rhythm? What's it worth to you, and we can start the bidding. Going once, going twice till you sold the prize. Instead of looking at new owners I'll just hold my eyes. Most of us are organ donors with our souls disguised. Then you find out there's no hope, what we were told was lies. We've got no voice and they have all the say. We've got no choice and so I'll travel the way. We'll get loud enough to break the glass, shatter the panes. Not allowed to make a pass and that's what matters to me. It happens to be cold and now the months are chilly. And we've overthrown the people on the old committee. Take the boards off the windows, it's gone back to pretty. We are the madness that took over all of Hunter City.

Hier Arch 02:40
I hear the piano keys so go. I can't recall a thousand things to know. If you like to laugh then I ain't into jokes. It's the message that's passed that helps me win the vote. With the kind of folks that keep staying around. I'll be down to earth and we can play on the ground. Write words to accompany the making of sounds. I don't make them like they used to the way it is now. I crossed the line and gave it all my trouble. I'm one that knows my rights and so I cause rebuttal. Sent to the corner but the walls are stucco. Whatever helps 'em deal with all the harder struggles. Connect the dots on the ceiling till you slept soft. Feel better, here's a drink and a wet cloth. Thought I'd stop with the topics I won't get off. Feeling like there's something to say but never said lots. In this town of mine. Yeah we did some things we're not allowed to try. Some got lost some found the sign. I put it in a book with a bounded spine. A trusted source with these hands at sides. Maybe one day we'll understand the times. Maybe it's the end and the plan subsides. I'm not going in first into a land of mines. I'll be chosen last. Just in time that it's gone and the moments passed. Come from a bunch that's a potent batch, but we can't keep losing them so close the latch. With clothes that match, I can make the entrance. Won't be famous cause I'm fathering ten kids. Not with the latest slang to offer a sentence. On top of the heinous acts that bother my senses. Get in, so I test the waters, dive. Into a mess cause they set the bar too high. You stress the bleeding so it's best to cauterize. A heavy meaning hemorrhage gets to smaller size. It's no flood it's an awful drought. You knew it needed space but it's the thought that counts. Make a different face if I must talk of doubts. With inflated rates I haven't got an ounce. Is it what was said? Or is it what was done? Too much thoughts are in my head so I proceed with caution. It's not what was said, and it's not what was done. I'll ignore it all instead and won't ask another question.

So Precious 02:52
I'm see deep, not new to the blue. I go for the repeat, and got through in the shoots. And you can't defeat me, with my crew and the troops. It's my time to speak, and I be fluent in twos. A zuit suit to match your bride's gown. I'm on route, and cover tracks on my ground. I stay true, I'm never acting tied down. I'll take you on you'll never last the five rounds. It's my sounds that'll flood your ears. Survive the drought with sweat blood and tears. I'll find a way out, so gather up your peers. With the signs of doubt, I've had it up to here. You won't find no comedy act. Instead of winding me up, it keeps rolling me back. You're deciding outcomes without knowing the facts. We keep tightening, and they keep holding the slack. I go back a few hours, different time zone. Instead of staying any longer, take a ride home. It's getting stronger and the storm's now a cyclone. What it left behind is getting formed into limestone. A winded road gets me lost and I can't tell. I'm on call and I'm strapped to a handheld. The lined code's an indication how your plan fell. Where I'm supposed to go isn't something I know damn well. Keep your voices down the silence is golden. Using wrong verbs and nouns in the dialog spoken. It stirred up a crowd, with the mindless commotion. And it's hard to work around when you're finding it broken. You're left whining and moping and feeling under lately. I kinda was hoping I'm setting free once they take me. Fighting 'em I take on bigger one's like Gracie. And deciding outcomes, the trigger's locked with no safety. Got it innately, developed quite the thirst. Thoughts are so hazy I think I might be cursed. Put in work on the daily and now I'm tightly versed. I'm a pro but still lazy and I won't write the certs. This night's a first, I'm hiding and I'm staying far back. When a country's at it's worst it's time to raise your own flag. And I'm down with alerts, behind delays and the lags. So pass it right down the circle and I'll be taking a drag. So Precious. And I was cold stepping. Not one that knows better. You're one to hold lessons, We're once with no measures. I was a go getter. You're left with no pressure. I got my old brethrens. And I was cold stepping. Not one that knows better. You're one to hold lessons, We're once with no measures. I was a go getter. You're left with no pressure. Go on you're So Precious.

1st verse-Lynks Let's get going all you one and two steppers. The presses have been rolling and they're done the newsletter. The story is unfolding and it once was used better. And more it gets upholded, leaving tons of new members. It's whether or not they lay the bricks. We depend on trend setters like a flame to wicks. It's our game that's getting better, still we play for kicks since we're down to whatever we've misplaced the interest. I'll save the princess, yeah the damsel distressed. I cleaned a bit of the mess but can't handle the rest. The additions and sets are what amount to obsessed. When collections are kept to help you channel the stress. What were you diagnosed with? You been catching it lately? All the people are obsessed and are acting all crazy. When I jump off a cliff, I'd still be glad if you saved me. Bust a myth like we're Adam and Jamie. Blame it all on a lazy eye. Letting it pass, act, you're wasting time. Hit and impact fast it aches inside. Cash in rain checks, try to change my mind. 2nd verse-owel five.
