lyrics

How could they ever trust me with another pen? My thoughts ignite all the seeds into blossoming. Orphaned to this world by mother nature, so it’s natural my attributes calm strangers now, my inks causing danger, getting too close to the brains of my anger. If there's a cost to be a boss, pay with food stamps. While you clench your fist I walk with loose hands. This is for the people who don't have much. This is the sound to help you understand us. I'm the voice of what was and where to go, my mind’s the sun listen if you dare to grow.

Welcome to the city of Immortals. Sunshine and silence from border to border. Right where hatred ends and praise starts. I'm here to bring soul to the brave hearts. A kid from Queens searching for mainstream, raging against the machine. Hold your breath, no hold your tongue. Realize we no longer need the sun to see clearly so here's the real me. Really, I just want to see us live freely. From the Henny sippers to the semi listeners, from the petty wishers to the friendly sinners. My life, revolves around pain. I try my hardest not to complain. I'm the passion of what was, what needs to be, my words are eyes painting the scenery

If you ever lose your mind, tell your heart find it. In darkness, you are your best guidance. Try to listen hard during silence, you might hear the whispers of Homers sirens. Together we can bring down the tyrants, fight with the lions help forget titans. I'm in search of what is most highest, not what's brightest, I guess I'm bias. Try to shine without the jewelry speak the truth but speak it fluently. Sing the song the deaf must hear. Get in the way so they can see clear. Start the army and friend all the people. Fight the state and end all its evil. I'm the truth of what was some time ago. My rhymes are doors open as the night unfolds
