I easily string these lyrics vividly
Word power tongue forms art like calligraphy
And I be
Artistically inclined phonics are divine, attuned to the power of the mind
Keen on the avant-garde comin out the avant yard in Brooklyn, NY
I twist these rhymes with torque I do it for sport
Give words the gift of life like a stork
Thick spit wit a quickness
Phony Mafuckas are ridiculous
This is evidence of the distance
Do shit to cause mad dissonance
Search for more gotta understand why
Live a good life Jah seen I and I
Just a young man with a dream and a vision on a mission finding out what I can glean with the mind's eye
(You'll have to listen to the rest >;3)

Famine, the people get a gut feeling
In the back of their minds like they want a filling
Cultural evolution, and mental institutions
A backward mindset led by avarice
Less shared space for one to live
Blinded by Deafness outta control
Babylon dem got shade on their souls
Give it out you shall receive
Maybe not in present company
The choice of happiness does come for free
But your own validation can't come from me
Dem belly full but we hungry
Some questions that arise for the underlings
Need a big mac? Heres some fries? A tub of soda? Super-size?
But forget that, what do I need?
Some fruits and veggies and tasty grains
Somethin sweet every now and then to help maintain
But I got all of that so what do I attain?
Gold, Caviar and a cuban cigar?
Sure it doesn't taste good but it's pretty damn rare
You can keep it to yourself and you'll find you'll start to care
But I got all of this free time just up in the air
How do I prepare for the daily warfare
Eat more and more and more and more
Why not? Whats livin for?
Like a Superstar craves for fans that adore
Like rich wanna be known for giving to the poor
Like a vendetta is meant for settling the score
What more y'all? What more?
Volatile Mystery, Closed Doors Open Minds to Opportunity, Scientific
Discovery x4
Up against the odds like the roulette that the russians play
Words caught in your mouth like ya don't know what you're gonna say
A cautionary tale from wise man on the mountain
Forewarns against a future that is surely a misfortune
Or just unfortunate, like the turn of events
That led to the human race that don't start at the same place
But here comes the trump card I'm pullin out the ace of spades
With this music thats made from the heart
And fueled by the soul
Can't move on from the days of old without lettin go of the sorrow
Don't you know it's a new day tomorrow
Rise with the sun, Tides of the moon
Train your mind to become more adept
So just accept and don't be remiss
Just live and let live.
PLOT TWIST: uncertainty is only that which certainly exist
