Into the far unknown
I’m all alone
All alone
Smoke and fire flies across horizons
Arriving in the end of the evening
Alive but barely breathing
The closeness of the surface is deceiving
Conceiving is believing
The information we’ve been retrieving
Will get us to where we’ve been reaching
(Verse 1)
I give the fuselage the two stars
Elevated in a way we’re gonna get to Mars
True scars
Created by the weight when I blast off
I give the ship that made the time line rip
Flip through the mist and get through the ship
The flick of the wrist is all it’s gonna take and I don’t s breaks when I make this fly
Never get a break when the pace is to fast
I start to rust the stardust is too much sometimes I feel like I’m about to blow up
I push it to the limit hope the hull will hold up
I’ve been traveling exploring all of the far unknown
Alone in the zone the empty space is my home
Constellations pave the way to amazing places
The dawn of creation and manifestation of life and death

I’m gonna run wild all night long
I’m gonna be Ric Flair all night long

Crunkin’ with your best friend gonna break shit

Fresh to death every time that I step out
I been the best, got a pep in my step now
Ride for myself, ain’t no set that I rep now
Bang on chest and perform with my neck out
Pop bottles all day, straight cash shit
Fantastic late nights, live lavish
Pay dues, we make moves, you can’t hack it
Flows that leave you cold in the winter without no jacket
Got beats that bring heat like the summertime
Long days and long nights where you find love is blind
We grind, roll blunts of that stinky lime
Squad up & roll out, stunt every time
All day, all night, you know the dealy
Get up to throw down, we in the building
Sun goes down and these skills gon leave you chilly
I do this shit for real so I know the real ones gon feel me
Wait until the sun go down
We gon' make this bitch light up
Dressed to impress, so success comes with each day
Kicks match the fit. You should already peep game
Step out on the town, get around like a speed date
Watch the sun go down like a chick on your b-day
Gassed up, no breaks, blowin’ clouds
Haters talk fast so you know that I’m smokin’ loud
Work all week, on the weekend I’m goin’ out
If talk is really cheap, let me show em what I’m about
Show em I’m bout the beat, show em I’m bout the groove
Show em I’m bout these streets, show em I ain’t gon lose
No need to choose between me and the right dude
Cuz I ain’t gon snooze on a chance to make night moves
Like a criminal, I thrive in the night time
My flow’s subliminal, no lies when I write rhymes
The light’s lime, you just gotta wait on the right time
Beast in the booth, the freak comes out when it’s night time
Wait until the sun go down
We gon' make this bitch light up

Slow grind
Years pass like no time
Fear catching up fast & habits controls minds
Memories change when those close have told lies
So tired and I can’t see the road, I’m snow blind
In a ghost town wondering how it’s supposed to go now
On my own wandering alone through the smoke cloud
calm my nerves when the world seems beyond absurd
Kept going even knowing we were wrong at first
Controversy reflecting the recklessness we suppress and
collective sense of direction we lack in our current essence
combative capitalism, a murder weapon
a wave of death & depression
Consumer debt & collections
It’s spreading like an infection
& medicine is expensive
it’s up inside of my head pushing me right to the edge but
I’m letting it go walking ahead into the storm clouds
Blinded by the snow trying to find my way home now
It’s got me feelin’ Snow Blind
Slow grind
Years pass like no time
Fear catching up fast & habits controls minds

God can give you anything you want
God make me funky
Put your hands together, come on and stomp your feet
Put your hands together, come on and stomp your feet
Put your hands together, come on and get in beat
There’s a good time waiting for you
Come on and let’s get free
God make me funky
Anything, Anything, Anything you want
God make me funky
Anything, Anything, Anything you want
Funk is you, funk is me, funk is us, funk is free

Ain’t Nothin’ Stronger

There ain't nothin' stronger than love
No love, now you can live on my friend but you'll never, never find
No love, the word I'm talkin' 'bout can give you peace of mind
Love is, the answer to the burden that you have in your heart
I know, it can give a lonely person a brand new start

What’s wonderful? A worry free life in the burbs?
Head in the sky, feet stuck on the curb
A white picket fence you paid for with the birds
Where dreams go to die, think I’ll stick with these words
What’s wonderful? The come up of your dreams?
A hunger that subsides when your dreams are achieved?
Believe that happiness is something that you get when you see
You reap what you sow so in the end it’s on me
So what’s wonderful? Revenge on a cold plate?
Choosing to find yourself and wind up finding your soulmate
It’s a green light every time that you’re told wait
Nourishing new love and letting go of the old hate
Wonderful something that you get when you’re blessed
When you push yourself until you’ve got nothing left
That’s why I’m going to rap until I run out of breath
And make sure everything I say hits your straight in the chest
Life, Is so wonderful
So Wonderful, too good to be true
Roof over your head and a fridge full of food
All of your bills paid, free to do what you do
When you’re having a good day, it’s hard to fuck with your mood
Inspiring delight, the definition of marvelous
Firing on the mic and steady spitting the hardest shit
True MC, I come correct with the flow
If you do test me you gon lean that’s fa show
Cuz what’s wonderful is music you gon feel in your soul
Trials and tribulations that get turned into gold
Poetry in motion when the stories are told
Reflect a time and a place where glory unfolds
Wonderful‘s expression in the form of an art
An obsession to perform that pours from the heart
Your life’s the big screen, it seems you were born for the part
But know it’s hard to live the dream when you’re torn from the start
That’s wonderful...
Life, Is so wonderful
So Wonderful

Run On For A Long Time

|
You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Tell that midnight rider
Well, you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's down in the dark will be brought to the light
