lyrics

(Talk-Sik)
The lights cut out, twisting the ties up now
The ties that bond me to what life’s about
It might come down to being a battle
Strong and their weak as I’m beating the sheep in the cattle
To the truth of Jesus’ gabble
In the court of death there’s more to set
More to the tank that is guarded, there’s more than a quarter left
So there’s more to go in this war of vets
War of rookies, fight of all people unborn and dead, the warnings set
Uh, on a come up like the thousands of fish
Coming down hard on the game like blackbirds pounding my fist, Demanded respect since 2006
And put out just as much passion my skills allowed me to spit
Word, Truthbtold, revolutionary holocaust
I’m the toxic with fiery passion Molotov
Cause off the top, I’m hot headed and calling on
All you drama-dons, to battle the illest phenomenon

(Cryptic Wisdom)
It’s my hustle, never will I sink
You were falling off the edges, I was steady on the brink
Never let em sleep, all I’m harboring the best
Fuck Branding, Make Music, I just want it off my chest
A sharp guess, and I terrorize beats,
I’m a merit of embarrassment to anybodies beef
The centerpiece and your off to the side
I stay true you flaunt with an awful disguise
It’s a façade, and I’m just letting em know
It’s all about being authentic with a veteran flow
It’s so inevitable, seeing em jump
They want a piece of the game fame easy of bucks
But what they don’t know is the sacrifices
Have to be made actively half the nights you spend alone
Up in the zone, you wanna ball?
Then you gotta pay your dues and prove u want it all

The ceremony has begun
Close the door so no one can escape til I'm done.
I represent the voice of the slums
Bringing you the light from the sun
Look next time that I'm feeling low
I'll remember sometimes I bleed to grow
I don't care what the universe plans for me
When it all falls down let it land on me
Ahhh I'm feelin so frustrated
Used to feel upgraded
Now my soul is just jaded
Found beauty but I had to let her go
My painful memories give my rhymes a better flow
If I ever find the muse imma let her know
She brought me to my knees every night when she censored hope
I've had enough of this wackness that's it
No more passes rappers get to classes
Ill be home reading classics
then figuring out how to speak it to the masses
That's what I would call purpose
Won't stop til I leave earth or get wordless
Don't feel bad, you can't hurt this
Don't take it as a threat, consider it a service
Trying to see what the worst is
Hoping I have the strength to face urges
I told Brinez get these rappers out my way
feed me dope beats let's see who keeps pace
Like I thought, no one dare try me
I'm climbing to the top, just please don't mind me
Real leaders learn to move silently
Words and wisdom right where the violence be
Us and ignorance in rivalry
Bustin lyrics rebuilding dynasties
