HMMM...

Low fruit or high risk, grow through a crisis
Or cave to your vices, lose sight of what life is
It’s priceless what you can learn from what the price is
I write THIS in a state of being that feels lifeless
The MIC IS my confession booth, the truth’s timeless
Despondent but still hope that I’m known for my kindness
And guidance, and never choosing finance over science
So, let me smell the roses while the sun shine on my iris
Is this some form of a cure, or just a virus?
Disguises; the devils game plan to surprise us
I realize this, hence all the effort and the wryness
I’d define this as a time capsule of where my mind is

Thoughts transition to words under prime conditions
Primal visions, rhymes that arouse suspicion
A mile a minute, I guess the direction’s intended
But then again, time and distance doesn’t measure commitment
Or consequences, we only catch the truth through glimpses
The proof’s expensive, cost your peace of mind, plus interest
My brain’s a prism, I went from pot to piston
You got to listen to fully comprehend my mission
I fought the system, sometimes all you gain is division
At times it feels like it was all for naught
But I sought for wisdom
NOT permission
My rules were written
By the same person riding the rhythm
I rhyme with conviction
Inaction is not a decision
It’s its own wormhole, which is not so forgiving
The fallen has risen, reborn with ten times the ambition
From crawling to sprinting, let my chest rip through the ribbon…
In record time, and now it’s on a record and spinning
In record time, I’m still expecting mine
I’m next in line while I’m still perfecting rhymes
In record time, I’m still expecting mine
I’m next in line while I’m still perfecting rhymes
In record time, I’m still expecting mine
I’m next in line while I’m still perfecting rhymes
Ending or beginning
Befriending or pretending
Giving or lending
Grimacing or grinning
Endlessly preparing, this is a planned flaw
I’m oversharing, in contrast to man’s law
So I ask ya’ll, what’s the last straw? What do you stand for?
The answers help me tell the coons from the panthers
A hint of what their stance is, a bettering of chances
Unsettling enhancements, improvements, advancements!
As sands shift, time is aligned with the planets
And the rhyme…walks a fine line like semantics
Childish antics are not the way I choose to emote
But I’ll admit, denying it's a slippery slope
The world’s cutthroat, I’m on my last dose of hope
Or so it seems until the next song gets wrote
The wrong approach is not the route I choose the most
When views oppose, I find a way to juxtapose
For friends, not foes, yeah, let’s just suppose
It’s a must that a bust these flows
My muse is prose
In record time, I’m still expecting mine
I’m next in line while I’m still perfecting rhymes
In record time, I’m still expecting mine
I’m next in line while I’m still perfecting rhymes
In record time, I’m still expecting mine
I’m next in line while I’m still perfecting rhymes

Soul Merger

In ’23… Imma be 53
Making my best song’s ever, true fresh MC
I love to write, it helps calm the stress in me
Especially when I let the style flow free
Then I pick up the pieces of the word debris
Arrange em perfectly for the world to see
…Or rather hear, but also occurred to me
Visual impact helps the verse to be
Seen + heard, I mull over every word
Nouns and verbs, inspired by the sounds of birds
I found the urge, to break my soul down to thirds
Review each part, and see what parts I need to nourish
A pound of courage is not nearly enough to discourage
The forces of evil, their army is as vast as the earth is
So my purpose, is try to make some music to reverse this
Perhaps in vain, still, the attempt can’t be worthless
I’m not purist, I’m the type to stare in the mirror
Blur out the world until my inner vision gets clearer
Mind of Akira, sacrifice myself for the GREATER good
At least I would, if I thought it worked in our favor
The fruits of my labor, still left a growl in my navel
I’m proud I’ve been able, to bring some style to the table
Stay true to self, still keep my foundation stable
Oh, how they betray you, speaking of the ones that we label
As Innocent but their intent could be painful or fatal
No matter what they do, Imma try to shine to the fullest
Blossom like tulips, and let my soul merge with the music
Yeah, let my soul merge with the music…

The Ledger
01:05
|

|
These are dark times
Ripe for some from the heart rhymes
Here’s mine, heartbreaking like the prison pipeline
It’s fight time, late news if you’re just now seeing the clues
A REMINDER to those who I am passionately speaking to
We can do anything we truly strive for
We live through some hard times, fighting these mind wars
I find FLAWS in self then I alter my views
Like water; fuse with any state you could possibly choose
This is my BLUES, anxiety is eating my time more
I REFUSE to walk this world hindered by blinders
Keepers or finders, resulting in a plus or a minus
I trust I’m the finest person I could be in this moment
No question, my kindness known to be my prime opponent
This rhyme, I wrote it thinking of my FINAL moment
That time I don’t know it, you see, death doesn’t need a motive
I need to focus, third wiseman, he’s devoted (a poet)
The seed I’ll sow it, to see the mysteries decoded
My needs compulsive, passion as vast as an ocean
My love explosive, balanced doses of pure emotion
Here’s to hoping, we can pick up our pieces together
This is a letter…. whiting out the red in the ledger
Whiting out the red in ledger
Yeah, writing what you read in the letter

Same To Me (Melancholy)
01:21
|
|||
|
It’s plain to see, nightmares have came to be
And, painfully, that’s not so strange to me
Explain to me why they act so angrily
Draining me, just to BE is living dangerously
But thankfully, I plan to fight till we live chain-free
No changing me, I only evolve and problem solve
Break down walls, always trying to tame the beast
To say the least, I’m on a quest for peace
In perfect harmony, probably like the angels be
That’s my goal, to feel like I’m in total control
Take hold of my soul, try to remold and make whole
Live grateful, giving out love by the plate-full
But, Eh YO, if the pressure takes it toll…
I guess it’s all the same to me

Passion of the Vice
01:11
|
|||
|
So close your eyes, prepare your inner-mind for a surprise
And that applies, to long time listeners and passerby’s, who ask to try
Just a taste of flavor so I gave em just enough to pacify
Don’t ask me why? If I deny, don’t ask me twice
First class advice, last person to not heed it, had to cash the price
This clash with mice, hoping that they signed up for a sacrifice
I serve em right, then taunt them in the afterlife
Don’t have to write like this, it’s just the bliss feels immaculate
That’s half the why, the other part’s the study of the art
See if the rules apply, the tools rely on open minds
They’re hard to find, but still I keep my sights on the prize
I surmise. I guess that’s just the passion of the vice
The Passion of the vice
Wrong or right, I guess that’s just the passion of the vice
Wrong or right, I guess that’s just the passion of the vice
Wrong or right, I guess that’s just the passion of the vice
Wrong or right, I guess that’s just the passion of the vice

3rd Down
01:38
|

Yeah, I’m showing grace in my trails,
Patient but I’ll stand my ground, plant feet down
Hmmm…just me and my family now
Ban me? HOW!? I don’t even plan to be around
See, I’m bound for a place where each face has smiles
Including mine, on my way, and my pace allows
Me to race for miles, yeah, embrace the clouds…
Let me thoughts bounce around
Then rain down to keep me aligned with the ground
That’s not profound, just the way that I get down
I’ll stop your run, all strikes once I hit mound
How that sound? I don’t even play the game
I laid the blame, still things just stayed the same
I preyed the plains, searching for some needful things
Some people bring more drama with their whole routine
I know, I’ve scene, it’s obscene
I blow off steam, but that’s how I lost my sheen
I’m not a machine
Nerve endings feels SO extreme
My love is deeply, solely, there is no in-between
When I was 18 left home to follow a dream
I guess I finally made it if you see this song on your SCREEN
A long journey, slowly on a balance beam
Challenging to say the least, let some pressure release…
Then we convene and say peace
Peace.
