Oddisee - "You Know Who You Are"


[Verse 1]

You were there from the start
Taught me to be aware of the sharks and prepare for the dark
You kept a secret you practiced what you were preaching against
Your inner demons were praying I'd tear apart
You won't admit but you competed just a little bit
I could tell, you'd be heated over little shit
Telling me to quit trying and get real
I got a little shine you was like big deal
I was pursuing dreams, steady doing my thing
You wasn't doing the same, you wasn't doing a thing
From my truest to a Brutus to a Judas
To who knew that this could happen
But the fracture was brewing it seems
I should have seen, mistaking smoke for a little steam
It turned to fire you burned me, trying to ruin me
I won't even mention your name in my bars
It's too close to the scars, but I'm sure that

[Hook]

You know who you are
You know who you are
I ain't gotta name names
You know who you are
I ain't gotta name names
You know who you are
I ain't gotta name names
You know who you are
You know who you are

[Verse 2]

You were there from the start
You told me whatever I'm doing to do it from the heart
I was pursuing a dream that was cloaked in the cloth of the uncertain
Making money, music, and art, and it wasn't perfect
You told me whatever's worth it was worth hurting
Double edge seemingly sharp, rather unnerving
Still, you believed in a brother
I was starving as an artist, you was feeding a brother
You could see in a brother what I couldn't see myself
When I couldn't see myself needing help
One reason or other I was trying through it all
Lot of ways to fail, that's the fastest way to fall
And through it and after all, you was with me not against
Cheered me from the bench, now you're with me as I ball
And that meant, I ain't even mention your name in my bars
You know you're close to my heart
I'm sure that

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

You were there from the start
Before you were even aware of the plan you were part
Of the scheme grand, as it could seem at the top
Man can only go so high before he reaches where he can't breath
But you know your limitations, you walk patient
While everybody start running for their plan B
Like a fire escape, but you stay in the kitchen
Let them sleep on they dreams, you stay lying awake
You stay eyeing the cake, they say you getting greedy
And then they turn their side against you like they getting sleepy
Try to convince you but you ain't into what they about
Get in your mental prevent you to take the way out
Please, let 'em try, let 'em fail
Let em tell lies on you, let 'em be
Let em see you prevail
Let em bail on they attempt to stunt a star
In any event be sure that

[Hook]

Nine Inch Nails: "You Know What You Are?"

I tried to sneak myself through, tried to get to the other side
I had to patch up the cracks and the holes that I have to hide
For a little bit of time even made it work okay
Just long enough to really make it hurt
When they figured me out and it all just rotted away

Don't you fucking know what you are?
Go on get back to where you belong!

You better take a good look cause I'm full of shit
With every bit of my heart I've tried to believe in it
You can dress it all up, you can try to pretend
But you can't change anything
You can't change anything
In the end

Remember where you came from, remember what you are
Don't you fucking know what you are?
Go on get back to where you belong
 
Pac Div - "No Superman"


[Verse 1: BeYoung]

I already know I ain't invincible, we in these niggas' scopes
Mama said the realest ones always got the strength to cope
Fuck all the fame, we gon' leave the game with our soul
Jedi mind and we ain't never changed, niggas know
That's how the shit'll go, they build you up to back you down
Though it's wrong, nigga chain smoking black and milds
Four sips from blacking out, one song from Bill Gatin'
Classics in the catalog, niggas still hating
Not from trees but for cheese niggas still hanging
Lost my heart with my brother but we still praying
Life's a catch 22
Put the spark to my blunt, drown my stress in a brew

[Hook]
I ain't Superman
I ain't Superman
I ain't Superman
You ain't Superman

I ain't Superman
I ain't Superman
You ain't Superman
You ain't Superman

[Verse 2: Mibbs]

We start out as tadpoles in mama's tummy
And come out as assholes always wanting money
It's me, myself, and all the ones who love me
Cause when I'm on, they don't want nothing from me
Superficial shit be bugging me like
All the superficial bitches fucking me right
We make the superficial sound lovely right
I sell you a dream and you gon' fuck with me right
Is this shit too smart?
Am I saying too much? Is this shit too art?
Is yo bitch that bad?
Do you really put on, nigga is that yo car?
Life's a catch 22
Put the spark to my blunt, drown my stress in a brew

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Like]

When that real shit gon' come back home, it's been decades
Sick of this bullshit spreading over the airwaves
My hand hurting like I'm writing ten essays
My head hurting like I'm fighting ten ese's
Eyes hazy, blowing on kush crazy
Less TV, more books lately, home body
Flow godly, dreads look crazy
Niggas think I'm from Da Bush Babees, bars make 'em push daisies
Alpha, omega, problem and solution
Intro and conclusion, the start and the finish
In a tug-of-war with this art and this business
That's why a nigga gotta play it smart with decisions
Occult symbolism in this art, pay attention
Pagan messages, these niggas lost their religions
They some false prophets, the rhyme profits
They evade the truth, confront 'em, they go off topic
Don't compare me to these pop objects
You wouldn't compare Fred Segal to Hot Topic
All brains and beats, yep it's called logic
Getting brain from freaks we meet at y'all college, just using raw knowledge
Nag Champas, all conscious like Kweli
Niggas think I'm Wale, women wanna parlay
When I was down and out, ain't nobody wanna call me
See me on my grind, now they all late
But I ain't no Superman

[Hook]
 
J. Cole - "Knock Tha Hustle"



Death to the imposters, label me the king
My dreams could win Oscars, my niggas turned mobsters
My white friends doctors, fatherless child
Listen how I got this knowledge is wild
Streets taught me, speak softly nigga watch from the crowd
Cause any nigga that's loud, just want attention and eventually BLAOW
No fake niggas allowed in my circle dawg
You been through half the shit I been through it'll hurt ya dawg
Tread softly, my nigga moving state to state running late watch 'em
Tryna avoid state troopers, that's the weight watchers
Run this dope set this cake till they say "Gotcha"
Or till the fat lady sings, and niggas hate operas
And Oprah hate niggas
Make no mistake that we know the stake still, we hope to make over eight figures
Slim chances, but niggas bet against the odds and who am I to criticise how you play your cards dawg

[Hook]

Cause I done beat the odds going way too hard
I been getting slept on for way too long
I been patiently waiting for way too long
I been quiet dawg for way too long
You can't knock the hustle dawg it's way too strong
It's way too strong
I said you can't knock my hustle dawg it's way too strong
It's way too strong

[Verse 2]

Look, I never admit it, tryna get my brother acquitted
Yo' tell the judge I be happy to pay him off if he's with it
My flesh and blood, hauled off to the cell
I search for heaven as I see him getting lost in this hell
Headed for coffin or jail, to never try is the ultimate fail
But love is wanting more for someone than they want for themselves
Deep, I guess I love a lot
Because the more I do my thang the more I feel the guilt and shame that my brother's not
Reminisce as we was kids screaming "Fuck a cop"
Guess he took it serious, for me that shit was just for props
Arms too skinny to hug the block
I found comfort in my dreams of things seen on the screen of fortune and fame
Decisions, decisions, the Porsche or the Range
I take a trip back to the 'Ville only corpses remain
Some of them niggas still breathing but they dead inside
Victims of a genocide
Tears fill my eyes dawg

[Hook 2]

Cause I've been out of touch man for way too long
I've been out in Hollywood for way too long
I've been, getting this paper for way too long
I ain't called my pops back in way too long
I done make my girl wait for way too long
I wonder if I changed on my way to own
Can't knock my hustle but It's way too strong
It's way too strong
 
Phonte -" Dance In The Reign"


[Intro]

All systems go
Thank y'all so much, thank y'all for listenin'
It's Phontiga
And I do this all for hip-hop
I'm lyin' like shit, I do this shit for my goddamn mortgage nigga
And my bills, who the fuck am I foolin'
New Tigallo, new Tigallo, new Tigallo

[Verse 1]

Stand clear
You are not a man if you cannot stand here
Phontigallo make the song cry grown man tears
With the Bull City flow off the corner of Alston and Angier
Sex symbol rap, you niggas is Pam Grier
We throw bows like Bill Laimbeer
Plant fear the first time around, no do-overs
Where the fuck is my glass of sangria
Get a sip, then get another sip
Then go back to the mothership and tell them I'm on that
Separate excrement, yeah that other shit
Run and tell mother it's clearly not your time yet
Cause you to me is Dr. Seuss to a Steinbeck
A pro with the prose, what a concept
Haha, and I cut this shit in half cause I ain't feel like waitin'

[Verse 2]

They say everybody got a story, so here's mine
It ain't heartbreakin', because I've taken
The sour Grapes of Wrath and made Cheerwine
That NC shit, nigga I feel fine
You know that I'm real, ten years still here
No worse for the wear, nigga I'm ill
And I'm still top notch
You niggas is better off playin' hopscotch in a minefield
Better off warring in the jungle with no camouflaging
Suicide mission, straight sabotagin'
Flow so addicting it's like habit formin'
Flow hair-raising it's like rabbit farmin'
Peter Cottontail hopping over beats or rocking
Acappells since the days of Akinyele nigga
I'm back in the kitchen with a silk apron
Let that boy sauté

[Verse 3]

I said let me know the troubles on your mind youngblood
And Lord willing me and you will solve them
He said Tay I worry about you in the rap game
I said motherfucker go and get a real problem
Please beg pardon but I'm not starvin'
This rap shit is not the life I live
It's a tool that I use, that's it
No great fortune to show for it but fortunate
That no one can say his life ain't his
Some might even say underachiever cause they are not believers
That I don't want the world, but I done seen the world
And if you ever saw it, hell, you wouldn't want it either
I don't need a kingdom, just want a home
You can take a seat or you can take the throne
As long as it is known ain't a damn thing changed
Still the underground king, nigga dance in the reign
Holla

[Outro by Sy Smith]

I feel so glad that I made it, I couldn't ask for more
This world is yours for the taking, what are you waiting for
 
Grieves - "Recluse"



Yeah, I pushed the boat out - I'm floating on faith
Got a I-don't-give-a-shit look stuck on my face
I guess that I've become a product of the castle gates
Dug a moat around my heart and filled it up with paint
I went and poured it on the rocks with my last album
So thick that a normal person would pass out from
Now something of which I used to confide in
Got me sittin in silence, propping open my eyelids
Stupid - I just want to listen to the music
Fade in to the background and drink until the rooms spinnin'
So move some, there ain't nothing left to see here
The only words I'm a pay attention to are "free beer"
So leave me here like a cricket in a matchbox
Cash in my good luck and spend it on a padlock
The bad thoughts and the whiskey are better company than bullshit
So just leave it and go

I don't want to go outside today
No, I want to be left alone
I don't want to put the mask on my face
No, I want to be left alone
I don't want to get up out my bed
I want to be left alone
Didn't hear a goddamn word you said
Go home

I hit the still water; coasting on hope
Got a bunch of little daggers tattooed on my throat - (ouch)
What's the point of making friends when you grew up
With a devil and couple of pretend ones
I guess that I don't know the difference when it comes to space
You're either leaving me alone or all up in my face
And lately, with the way that things are going
I don't taste the sugar in your words for me to give a shit about what you say
Yup - I'm crazy and irrational
Always tell the truth so that you can call me "asshole"
I prefer the black hole over the sun
Plant a seed up in the sound garden; watered with rum
It's not the same when you're looking through the frame of a broken heart
The smoke blinds but also helps you look the part
So you can knock it 'til your knuckles get scars
I suggest you leave it and go

I don't want to go outside today
No, I want to be left alone
I don't want to put the mask on my face
No, I want to be left alone
I don't want to get up out my bed
I want to be left alone
Didn't hear a goddamn word you said
Go home
 
Tech N9ne - "Going Bad"



(Intro Part 1)

This is the trip! The best part I, really, really like!
Yeah, I'm proud to be a part of this number!
Used to be good, now I'm going bad..
Yo.. Like this!

(Intro Part 2) (x2)

Everything was 'posed to be all Jesus
Everything was 'posed to be all Jesus
But it seems like everything is all Satan
But it seems like everything is all Satan

Yo yo check


(Verse 1)

In the new millennium you can't play with nobody's mind, man
Deliberately messing up a good thing or holding up a grind and
You already knowing life's a big fight against time, man
Crime minds really shine, who's dying is the kind man
When some of us, find that life ain't beautiful, we switch to pharmaceuticals
Your nine to five ain't suitable, for the cuticles
I'm going bad, currently I keep ending up with even less than I had
Record company is dealing me something sad
How do you expect a man to sit and wait with three kids
For you to figure out what Tech S-I-N-G-L-E is?
Going bad, I feel like I just might act a fool when I see 'em
Got a nigga, feeling petty looking forward to per diem
I got some issues, most of these record execs are soft as tissues
Defecate on they self when they here some "I'm gon' get yous"
Understand this; when a Rogue sat, you trying to hold back his dough sack
And try to bozack and he go cock the 4-4 back, you chose that
So cut these ties and I'll rise, let's compromise
Or else I'll hop a plane with my guys
QDIII said, "It ain't all good, when you sign with a record label
Who ain't had a hot soundtrack ever since Boyz N Da Hood"

(Bridge)

I'm going bad
No luck
I'm going
Bad, bad, bad
So rough
I'm going
Bad, bad, bad
No church
I'm going
Bad, bad, bad
Disperse
I'm going
Bad
Feel me out now

(Charmelle Hook)

This life I live
Ain't extra
No angels to
Stand next to
To live a life that's better
I'll sacrifice whatever
This life I live
Ain't extra
No angels to
Stand next to
To live a life that's better
I'll sacrifice
Whatever

(LeCoya LeJuene Voiceover 1)

No one wants to see
An angel in this world
In these days
To them I am
The epitome of evil
A found soul
Looking to save the lost
To them I am death
And of not wanting
An evil man

(Verse 2)

For living expenses they gave me like thirty-five G's
Picture me in a hospital shot up with thirty IV's
That's what I really needed when I found out this drama trauma
Instead of moving I should've kept all that and continued to stay with my girl's momma
Gutter living got me tripping I'm smoking bud daily
Gutter living got me tripping, I'm going blood crazy
Gutter living got me tripping, I'm struggling like a bad actor
Gutter living got me sounding like The Madd Rapper
The bad influence, the bad apple, the bad seed (That's me, yes)
The bad people, the bad karma, the bad breed
Mushroom tripping, brain's a mushroom cloud
Finding groupies tugging on my zipper while I'm hanging on to my vows
Demons surround me in triple stage darkness and taunt me
They know I'm the good guy going bad so they want me
All my family remembers way back in the day I was good but they doubt now
Disperse, I'm going bad, feel me out now

(Charmelle Hook)


(LeCoya LeJuene Voiceover 2)

To say going bad
To most
Ha
Never been good
Just getting worst
Thoughts to destroy
And to tear things apart
Thoughts to praise
Adore
And to love
The trick is
What voice is telling you what

(Verse 3)

Mind state of a pirate, I'm irate
Used to be cool till some straight fool lit the pilot
Will I be that mid-town bound in the middle of a riot
Or at a warehouse shipping platinum, and I'm shaking hands with Violet
No love for the bane, false foes in the game
The Qwest wreck was a shame, twas a journey full of pain
But Tech Nine will remain hella brave and untame so make way
For the reign I'm bringing Highland and Wayne
No thanks to Qwest they on the receiving end of the gun
I cursed you, for every time I climb you're getting fired one by one
But taking Juan with me cause he knows the true meaning of a modern day hippie
Who creates jewels off mushrooms and bombs sticky
Hog Stylin', Mid West Side and Newday and King Tech and Sway
These are the people keeping me alive to this day (Much love)
QD said "You can't make rell with a label
Who let Tipper Gore talk shit and made 'em take Ice T's Cop Killer off the shelves"

(Bridge)

I'm going bad
No luck
I'm going
Bad
So rough
I'm going
Bad
No church
I'm going
Bad
Disperse
I'm going
Bad
Feel me out now

(Charmelle Hook)


(LeCoya LeJuene Voiceover 3)

Right now I can't distinguish
Which voice I'm listening to
Am I evil
Or just another lost soul
Going bad
Or just been bad
And getting worst
 
When I'm drivin' in my car
And the man comes on the radio
He's tellin' me more and more
About some useless information
Supposed to drive my imagination

When I'm watchin' my TV
And a man comes on and tells me
How white my shirts can be
But he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
The same cigarrettes as me

When I'm ridin' round the world
And I'm doin' this and I'm signing that
And I'm tryin' to make some girl
Who tells me baby better come back maybe next week
'Cause you see I'm on losing streak

No satisfaction, no satisfaction
I can't get no

Put the chrome to your dome make you sweat like Keef

Daylight
I wake up feeling like you won't play right
I used to know, but now that shit don't feel right

THE IMPRESSIONS - "Minstrel And Queen"

Queen majesty, may I speak to thee,
So much I have longed, I've longed to speak to you alone,
True I agree, I'm not of your society,
I'm not a king just a minstrel,
With my songs to you I moan,
Though just a minstrel in life we're so far apart,
But royal queen I see love in your heart, your heart
I love you too, your majesty
...hmmmmm,

Isn't this really true,
These things I ask of you...hmmmm,
Oh,oh majesty could you really care for me,
Minstrel and Queen
A Queen with no king,
I'm a minstrel subpar, but could this really mean anything,

As long as you love me,
And it won't be so hard,
As long as I see love love in your heart, (your heart),
I love you too, (honest I do),
Hmmmm..(your majesty), hmmmm..(your majesty)
Ohh I love you too, (your majesty)
Hmmmm queen majesty...

Curtis Mayfield - "Pursherman"

This life just don't make it

The Jacksons - "Hearbreak Hotel"

Live in sin
Ten years ago on this day
My heart was yearning
I promise I would never ever be returning
Where my baby broke my heart and left me yearning
As we walked to the room
There were faces starring
Glaring, tearing through me
Someone said welcome to your doom
Then they smiled with eyes
That looked as if they knew me
This is scarring me

We walked up the stairs
Still concealing gloom
There were two girls
(Sitting in my room)
She walked up to my face
Said this is the place
You said meet you right here at noon

This is Heartbreak Hotel
Welcome to Heartbreak Hotel
So this is Heartbreak Hotel
This place is Heartbreak Hotel

Hope is dead
She thought that I had cheated for another lover
I turn my back to see that I'm undercover
Now I can't convince this girl there ain't no other
Someone's evil to hurt my soul
Every smile's a trial thought
In beguile to hurt me
This is scaring me
Then the man next door had told
He's been here in tears for fifteen years
This is scaring me

We came to this place
Where the vicious dwelt
Found that wicked women
(Run this strange hotel)
There was Sefra and Sue
Every girl that I knew
And my baby said love is through

This is Heartbreak Hotel
Welcome to Heartbreak Hotel
So evil
(Heartbreak Hotel)

Bob Marley - "Burnin' & Lootin'" (1st verse)

This morning I woke up in a curfew;
O God, I was a prisoner, too - yeah!
Could not recognize the faces standing over me;
They were all dressed in uniforms of brutality. Eh!

How many rivers do we have to cross,
Before we can talk to the boss? Eh!
All that we got, it seems we have lost;
We must have really paid the cost.

Michael Jackson - "Jam" (verses)

The World Keeps Changing
Rearranging Minds
And Thoughts
Predictions Fly Of Doom
The Baby Boom
Has Come Of Age
We'll Work It Out

I Told My Brothers
Don't You Ask Me
For No Favors
I'm Conditioned By
The System
Don't You Talk To Me
Don't Scream And Shout

She Pray To God, To Buddha
Then She Sings A
Talmud Song
Confusions Contradict
The Self
Do We Know Right
From Wrong
I Just Want You To
Recognize Me
In The Temple
You Can't Hurt Me
I Found Peace
Within Myself
 
Little Brother - Black Magic (Make It Better)


(Verse 1: Phonte)

Yeah, uh
Black skin, black faces, black people make black magic
So?pay?me every fuckin'?dime and add taxes
Cop a feel?in a room full of brass tactics
I been about that work, boy, I been ASCAP'in
You been lyin' 'bout yo bread, nigga you Axe Cappin'
You really 'bout that life or you just hashtaggin'?

(Verse 2: Rapper Big Pooh)

You really self made or is you CashApp'in?
Doin' everything you can to make the cash happen?
These new niggas do a whole lotta back slappin'
See you win without they help, then they golf clappin'
No applause in my trophy hall
I'm still focused on the goal and not what's hangin on the walls
Listen, all I need is the sports channel
And a glass of your finest red, you feel me? Ha!

(Chorus)

You can make it better, why don't you, love? (Yea!)
You can make it better, why don't you, love? (Oh!)
You can make it better, why don't you, love? (Come on!)
You can make it better, why don't you, love?
Yo, I sat down and I started writing you this letter
I'll never make it perfect, just tryna make it better
You can make it better, why don't you, love? (Alright!)
You can make it better, why don't you, love? (Go!)
You can make it better, why don't you, love? (Alright!)
You can make it better, why don't you, love?

(Verse 3: Rapper Big Pooh)

Black skin, black faces, black people make black magic
Cut from a different cloth, you know the finest fabric
That's intertwined in our DNA
You go to work, whether you corner boy or starrin' in the NBA
Even if you never left the porch, gotta know you pray
'Cause once they put you in the game, gotta know the play

(Verse 4: Phonte)

And when it's time to leave the game, take a bow and say
"Thanks for the warm welcome, I ain't tryna overstay"
Good timin', the importance of, I can't overstate
Drop facts over hot wax like Odelay
The killer type on a thriller night like Ola Ray
It's close to midnight, get right and let's motivate
I need my ginger ale, and 5 lemon peppers
All flats, nigga
Let's go!

(Chorus Repeat)
 
Black Thought - Twofifteen



Yo, the big wheel keep turnin' like Ike's and Anna Mae's
The church kitchen hustlin' dinners every Saturday
Pull over, let me grab a plate, I tend to gravitate
Towards how fish dinners from a styrofoam platter taste
My granddaddy sported plaid Donny Hathaways
Hustlin' for everything we had 'til he passed away
When I would ask him ‘bout what path to take
He used to laugh and say, "No man is an island but I'm a castaway"
Casualties, I seen 'em like the French Foreign Legion
On the streets, they used to carry out bizarre procedures
In jean jackets and Jabbar Adidas
Back when local R&B was just as soulful as orthopedics
Me and my man twistin' up some reefer and wishin'
We knew all the town hitmen in the likes of Sam Christian
On the edge of existence, man, listen
Understand, respect and fear was the all-American ambition
For badass kids in the laundromat, foldin' a load
Well lo and behold, a whole ‘nother fork in the road
My wish for them is that the truth is eventually told
Out on the corner, where whatever you can sell is sold
I heard murder ran this vast, deserted land
Since back when Burning Man was blacks in Birmingham
Before the presidential election diversion scam
Matter fact, before they clapped Franz Ferdinand
You gossip on Jay and Beyoncé or Kim and Kanye
But keep risin' to the top, what my mind say
Picture my daughter drinkin' water where the sign
Say, "For colored girls," I ain't talkin' Ntozake Shange
Who said it’s Senegal? I was a king in general
Rich in every resource, precious metal and mineral
Before the devil entered the land of the plentiful
With that Jamaican funk, gotta get it into who
For generations under God, indivisible
Psych ward patients, vampires in a interview
Become institutionalized, what a nigga do
But what we had to do to survive, none of them could do
Who the technical culprit? I don't mess with no vultures
I'm electrical voltage, not the regular dosage
Too obsessive compulsive, I'm a fuckin' explosive
Mixed message in a bottle, I left with the postman
I'm that arachnophobia, black petroleum
Ceremoniously holy when at the podium
Even though it's hotter than weapons-grade plutonium
The people tryna check for the return of the Ichiban
Obi-Wan, universe, you owe me one solid
My homie Gonzalez, only know gun violence
On the corner where they probably on they 21 Savage
Catch two in your cabbage, Young Cesar Chavez
Division one, yo, wait a min', where we get our rhythm from?
Continuum, still swingin' like a pendulum
Here the women come, sing it like Sarah Vaughan
Heard 9th up in a house from North Carilon'
Ain't no mannequin challenge, but y'all paralyzed
It's gettin' cold outside, a word from the wise
Y'all niggas better bundle up
But I bet it be a hotter summer, not for nothin'
Yo, the cops get down, especially when it come to us
Nigga better be a Rockefeller
Get that out your pocket fella, sang acapella
Ain't a damn thing really changed as far as I can tell it
Another soul with no name, the helicopters hunted
Look like a couple of days before the doctor comin'
But that's my little cousin, watch him for me
I think the world tryna sock it to me
It kinda feel like everything is out of pocket for me
Who keep it a hundred when everything's partial?
Dignity and sanity is what the game cost you
Wake up to the paddles on your chest, we had lost you
I'm just paintin' a picture like Kerry James Marshall
I'm just takin' a picture like Carrie Mae Weems
So smile and say cheese, we in 2018
In a pyramid scheme, nightmares and day dreams
From the runaway slave to a modern day king
 
Noveliss - I Gave You Power

(Verse 1)

Before the war begins
I drop my origin
I'm power defined
An indestructible life
The peak of the mind
Turn my user to a Telepath
Read every mind in the universe
Simultaneous
I can hear the galaxies thoughts
Only a mad man would want my kind of power at the grip of a glove
I'm in control
Better hope whoever's wielding my power don't find the Soul
I'm like a starving version of the after life
I hunger for souls
Another one in the fold
A consciousness of my own
A gateway to a world unknown
Full of the souls of the enemies of my users
Before
Or those who couldn't fathom this power
I took my toll
It takes a lot of soul to hold that
Which takes a lot of souls
The Soul Gem
I got you open
Adam Warlock couldn't escape me
And that's close friend

(Hook) x2

How you like me now
I go blaow
This the shit that moves crowds
Make the whole world foul
I might have made you into a God kid
Check the Gauntlet
I gave you power
I made you buck wild

(Verse 2)

The most powerful
Reality my playground
Anything is possible
Literally
What you say now?
They call me the most dangerous of the six
Create a separate universe
With a flick of the wrist
If my user wishes it
I'm shining in the flesh
Designing another world
With my counterparts
In the hands of Thanos impressing Death
The power of a God at your fingertips
How mean it is
Manipulate Reality in any way that we see it fit
You'll never be lost in space
I'll lead the way
I'm the energy
Escaped
From the ancient ones
The spacious one
I can tear the fabric of space
Have you existing in every place in the galaxy
All at once
Now watch me jump
The planet is ours
Moving instantaneously is an art
I'll show you what you've been missing
Through the stars
The master of teleportation
I'm in your mental
Know exactly where to go
Before you say it

(Hook x2)


(Verse 3)

Past, present and future
I control all three
And hand the mastery down to my user
I don't abide by the rules
I'm father time
You heard of me
I control time for all eternity
Its surgery
When I doctor the timeline
It never gets the best of me
My user might die
But I move on to better things
The very reason they after me
No matter the strategy
But We can't reach our peak without the battery
All power is mine
Mental or physical
The foundation
I make the other gems reach they pinnacle
The glue to the power you pursue
To rule the universe
I'm too hot to hold
The gift and the curse
Infinity' worth
Would you trade your sanity to rule the earth? (Yeah)
Would you trade your sanity to rule the earth?
(Hell yeah)
Would you trade your sanity to rule the earth
And be a God within the Universe?
Say word...
 
Fragile: Tech N9ne (my favorite line is in blue)

You said you'd never ever break, down
But here I am sweeping, pieces off of the ground
You said you'd never, ever play, to crowds
But I've seen you hoping to play songs to them now
I've spent all night long scared of tomorrow, broke my alarm
Everything's almost lost, pick it up slow, before it's gone

We're fragile
(Wish I'd have known)
I never thought I'd be so fragile
(You're not alone)
If it didn't break before it's about to
(We've been here before)
I don't ever want to change
I'm fragile
I don't ever

Some of the people appointed to give an opinion
Never do get it
I want you to come on and gobble a jimmy and... die
N9na be giving the remedy and why?
Critics are really the enemy and I
Can't stand the way they slam today's gifted
Effin' incredible, get fanned away with grands to pay
This jam will lay scripted
Deaf and impeccable
Write a rhyme and I put everything in a flow
I'm the N9ne I'm a look very mean
When a foe scribe a line but he has never been at a show
By the times it'll be better, leave it in the sto'
'Cause they wrote nothin' but lies, quotes stuck in my eyes
Amateur writer dissin'
He's a beginner and hopes for your demise, folks some may despise
Never do try to listen
It's real, I'm mad
Clueless when you scribble on your pad
How you gonna criticize with a chisel on your nads sizzling your ad
You don't really get why I'm so pissed? Understand this (Understand this)
I'm an artist, and I'm sensitive about my shit, yes I'm

We're fragile
(Wish I'd have known)
I never thought I'd be so fragile
(You're not alone)
If it didn't break before it's about to
(We've been here before)
I don't ever want to change
I'm fragile
I don't ever

Tell me that I'm famous
Tell me that my name is
Big as Venus Jupiter and then Uranus
Tell me that your anus got your head in it
I can smell the articles and know you're heinous
Tell me that you love me, always thinkin' of me
Unconditional, I'm hoping I'm your favourite
Grab a fishing pole and throw me with the sharks
That's the feelin' I get when you're concentratin'
On this pen, on this pad
Tell me you're willin' to diss on my craft
Tell me the feelin' of pickin' apart this track
Stop
Puttin' my heart and my soul in these lines
Tellin' me platinum and gold all the time
Lookin' to bury, a deep hole for mine
Drop
This is more than you, and this is more than you
And your entire building slanderin' and abusin'
What I call the realest comin' from a student
Told myself to use a poem as an UZI
Empty magazine, I seen a magazine
You seen my trigger finger, then I started shootin'
That was nicotine, I'm 'bout to smoke 'em all
And journalists involved should've known my music

We're fragile
(Wish I'd have known)
I never thought I'd be so fragile
(You're not alone)
If it didn't break before it's about to
(We've been here before)
I don't ever want to change
I'm fragile
I don't ever
 
Megadeth: My Darkest Hour

In my hour of need,
Ha, no, you're not there
And though I reached out for you,
Wouldn't lend a hand
Through the darkest hour,
Your grace did not shine on me
Feels so cold, very cold,
No one cares for me
Did you ever think I get lonely?
Did you ever think that I needed love?
Did you ever think, stop thinking
You're the only one that I'm thinking of?
You'll never know how hard I tried
To find my space and satisfy you too
Things will be better when I'm dead and gone
Don't try to understand, knowing you, I'm probably wrong
But, oh how I lived my life for you,
Till you'd turn away
Now, as I die for you,
My flesh still crawls as I breathe your name
All these years, thought I was wrong,
Now I know it was you
Raise you head, raise your face, your eyes,
Tell me who you think you are?
I walk, I walk alone
To the promised land
There's a better place for me
But it's far, far away
Everlasting life for me
In a perfect world
But I got to die first,
Please God send me on my way
Time has a way of taking time
Loneliness is not only felt be fools
Alone, I call to ease the pain,
Yearning to be held by you
Alone, so alone, I'm lost,
Consumed by the pain
The pain, the pain, the pain
Won't you hold me again
You just laughed, ha-ha, you bitch
My whole life is work built on the past,
The time has come when all things shall pass,
This good thing passed away
 
Green Day: Boulevard of Broken Dreams

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's only me, and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one, and I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone and I walk a
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the border line of the edge
And where I walk alone
Read between the lines
What's fucked up and every thing's all right
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone
I walk alone, I walk alone
I walk alone and I walk a
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
I walk alone, I walk a
I walk this empty street
On the boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one, and I walk alone
My shadow's the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone
