I been waiting for a long long time but i will find a way... I been patiently waiting Patience is gold Breaking on a mental cross mental ability my mental patient's tranquility's breaking your facilitie, i snap rapid it down they need a rap cause no one's in the mind developing they bringing crap, crack through the ceiling crack through the wall crack through them all I develop break em down Rap y'all Rapping ability shivering they wanna stop rapping on the calendar hip hop non stop Open the rebel man breaking the element the elephant incredible rebel the man to dispose and assemble Rapping the riddle they wanna combine in the middle breaking the riddle i take it down, Who's the riddle? giggle me giggle me jiggle me come on and jiggy jiggy with me my rap disease i make you freeze Bringing degrees the 36 chambers recall the name come on i make you nameless I been waiting for a long long time but i will find a way... Just listen to the rap press play Believe in yourself and everything you say I been waiting for a long long time but i will find a way... Yes i will yes my man Patience is gold Number attack the chemical rap your breaking on crack i'm breaking on crap i'm ready to sack put you in cause your mind is a bin i take it's a thing i'm down to sin ready to win take em down snap the cross smack the boss it's hip hop non stop ready, cross, Press keep the best they wanna slack cause they rapping outta town cause there shit's all wack no name talking down came talking finale the rally they wanna battle but sadly Yeah!what? they wanna climb up the ladder they wanna rap with no data I got the rapper Sinatra Microphone i rap it along i take it down pass the song come on along i wanna reach beyond the purest form new reborn touch the mic and rock on....

I take it easy on the microphone i take control i know my role i never stop i rap with purpose that's my goal Don't need no crown or throne i stay focused while you fall like a rolling stone Slick like an alley cat dirty like a rat put me in your speakers inhale the rap can't find your way while i design the map can't handle the weight too bad i break your back elephant's the man ride on i 'm bringing it back to the basics close your ears your eyes you can't face it you just wear it and fake it you lack of creativity man i gotta replace it Gotta keep it real while you sex appeal on the mic check i don't mass appeal you make yourself into becoming the meal Big mouth Small head your an easy Kill Empty pockets but a rich mind I got Empty pockets but a rich mind I got Empty pockets but a rich mind I got Empty pockets but a rich mind When i think where i am man i'm in a state of mind with no looking back no resurrection no denials i beat the cause just because i don't wanna feed a lost cause in the name of applause and Remorse is picking a needle out of the straws trying to keep it on a rise all i see is closed doors i mean it ain't easy to evolve these days wrong direction lost people and a minimum wage Empty pockets but a rich mind I got Empty pockets but a rich mind I got Empty pockets but a rich mind I got Empty pockets but a rich mind

Lies Can Pay 01:55
We re in the zoo... Living to build up the next generation of Lies Can Pay I pressure your lies not in disguise covering blue skies flying away can't wait for the prize serenity cries if you can't see it you never really opened your eyes so just effort to die in the tries, Soft will o i spillow in your dreams and tingle complex is so simple walk away your the victim...you tingle I engineer pass the frontier gas hold change gear i'm not in the front i'm on the rear appear disappear foggy weather now clear i fight away the fear i interfere system can't break me down i shed a tear i smash your formality of lies and reappear to approach the rings of justice can't touch this come on they can't fuck this, Ignorance is bliss knowing too much means sleeping with the fish let's change this Distort this abort this press the switch now you miss Devotion emotion has found it's quest take the potion and rest on the way to the ocean be my guest try your best i see brains on fire, you stay frozen i bring the beautiful choir In the end if my mind don't blend i won't stay to attend the messages that they send. They don't comprehend i got beautiful friends down with the love and the life we defend Staying out the cage is my way to salvation the writings on the page is my strength and motivation We're in the zoo we're in our own cage living to build up the next generation of Lies Can Pay We're in the zoo we're in our own cage living to build up the next generation of Lies Can Pay We're in the zoo we're in our own cage living to build up the next generation of Lies Can Pay We're in the zoo we're in our own cage living to build up the next generation of Lies Can Pay

It takes a powerful mind to make them resign they offer poverty our response is eye for an eye put me on the microphone control off the hook man they suck they be babbling while robing your hood so Robin hood the microphone dove they wanna take it down but i just give it all love always try to lie with their face down acting all funny while looking like a sad clown yo they drain the passion from the youth so frustration and anger become the weapon of the youth the proof that things round here have got to change got us struggling to live building up the rage Demise got us running round like cats and mice Survival of the fittest we're losing our human rights and ambition we're all caught up in an addiction Doctor Doctor write me a prescription Hook me up cool me down from the friction need those pills i'm facing an eviction conviction cause we ain't got no say we're just numbers for the masters while they lead the way Don't be afraid to die be afraid to living a lie yeah to live in a lie Don't be afraid to die be afraid to living a lie yeah to live in a lie Don't be afraid to die be afraid to living a lie yeah to live in a lie Don't be afraid to die be afraid to living a lie yeah to live in a lie Don't be To all the animals in town take control of expression or you be playing lost and found, Surround open up your eyes look around strike the enemy sound vultures own the town It's the fall of the man the rise of dumb found spiritual negativity pigs wear the crown they feed on our greed while grow on bloody ground they eat sleep fuck and in misery drown confound precise responsibility thrice burn their jurisdiction we're getting colder than ice It's a critical condition no room for friendly advice caught up in a game we're all gonna pay the price This city's a jungle it eats it's kids sells flesh for thought to replace all things the man's a puppet attached to strings respect's for sale place you bets, All In Don't be afraid to die be afraid to living a lie yeah to live in a lie Don't be afraid to die be afraid to living a lie yeah to live in a lie Don't be afraid to die be afraid to living a lie yeah to live in a lie Don't be afraid to die be afraid to living a lie live in a lie living a lie bye

Rocksteady 01:44
Mechanical animal cannibal with recognition ignition to spark the definition of rhyming's precision It's the tension connection effection give bigger attention out of the physical helps me see my imperfections like cynical subliminal criminal on the mic with full effect i ain't no minimal typical Replace i need air to breath they gaining space a whole lot of nothing time to slap them in their face old school breaking all the rules i be listening to real cats not silly dogs and fools, i'm reconnecting the brain cause they be driving on an empty tank of fuel in the wrong lane Insane i'm cutting of your chain your extinct in my domain put a bullet in your brain make you feel like Kurt Cobain the truth is similar to pain that's why only a few remain true to the game Fuck fame everybody looks the same i want barbecues graffiti on the wall when they hear my name Elephant's the mind Phinix is the soul i'd like to welcome every dirty motherfucker to the show We're ready set go this goes out to all my friends and the people that i know got my mind always in check so i know which way to go everyday's a stuggle so everyday i grow

Open up the sky bring the rain down this rap's a meltdown new villain in town with a slick sound Stays on top but keeps hidden underground tries his best to avoid a nervous breakdown sick of dummies kicking it in the same style sick of women kicking it just to play wild sick of rappers kicking it for the profile low profile superhero, Ka Pow Pow My potential in life is to protect and aim against all these motherfuckers that control the game they got a target group it only runs on fame and run around in circles acting clowns without no shame I put my spades on it i put my ashes on it i'm already in your just about to vomit i do it for the love while you do it for the grub i do it for myself just so i can stay above the record so i sustain for the effort i stay on top so i can spit sick you get it? Microphone control be my goal i never do it for the role i keep it rock n roll Hip Hop's the game always stay the same they be kicking to gain likes casualties of fame No regrets for doing shit i had to do if i' a slave i'm a slave to the Rhythm I confess empty pockets but a rich mind something to invest and suggest to the human kind Keep of the gimmicks cause they a waste of time and keep away from actors they try to steal your shine stay on the grind i gotta get mine one circle one vision one love one person one mind the truth is divine old school rugged and wild we the boom box generation still kicking it live

Deep dreams are true till whispers awake us nothing can go wrong i sleep to stay ageless Pages of thoughts turn into faces give me the power of control to embrace this I need to seize the day been walking on a wrong path nearly lost my way I been a victim to their play i've seen it all it's such an easy thing to say gotta wake up on the right side of the bed alive or dead been in a coma in my head Frozen in time waiting while the days go by living in lies but dreams and real life collide reality check hits you like thunder when it strikes avoid the pressure and the fights been killing myself with bloody eyes and sleepless nights I love my people too much still i disappear at times just to avoid the crush the speed of life is in a rush and i don't wanna stand still to moan and fuss Evolution's what we need prosperity for all not emptiness and greed the problem starts from the seed still we all need our comforts while other people bleed, I'm guilty too humanity's a selfish breed i know you know it still avoid it yes indeed i know you know it it's the truth yes indeed you know that change is the only thing we need I sleep on change then wake up numb lost in madness everybody want a gun i still embrace life but i ain't having fun i dream of change then wake up and i don't feel son so i sink back into those deep dreams where i control it all beyond all means i write the script and direct all the movies scenes cause in real life nothing is as it seems Deep dreams are true till whispers awake us nothing can go wrong i sleep to stay ageless Pages of thoughts turn into faces give me the power of control to embrace this
