Verse 1 Try and walk up the hill, staying still, treadmill Exertion for real, so tired is how I feel Never give up but I’m feeling to tall for the ceiling To big for the hidey hole, small for a villain No I never had a home in my head, so gone All alone ‘till I’m dead, no one 2019, fuck a baby now Brenda's got a gun Nobody give a fuck about nothing on the run On the cool, on the down low, I see the streets is seedy Never beat me ‘cause I’m leaving the rest of ‘em being greedy Being fearless ain’t easy, I know that the vultures see me On the scene but never leave the house, it’s the bottle, I’m the genie I’m a medium through the flow, I speak to the spirit But I’m speaking to myself ‘cause none of ‘em seem to hear it I sit alone in silence, stress forever grow Add pressure to the sinus, my guess that it will blow Hook 1 Cut the lights, yeah, live my life in the dark Cut the lights, yeah, you can’t lie to the heart Cut the lights, yeah, keep your gaze at the clock ‘Cause when minutes turn to hours then the days will never stop Verse 2 I can see the pressure pressing down every second Death beckons but I’m stepping away from his presence I wanna live, the words sound so ridiculous From somebody who lived like this, drown in the abyss I’m mounted up in this bitch, and riding front of the vanguard Enemies getting close, catapults hitting the land hard Metaphor for a guy not quite right, the man scarred Brain in turmoil, big fires leave the land charred I wanna do good but often misunderstood They see the flames in my eyes and always ending up shook A wise king surveys the board before he switches with the rook Only after knight and bishop leave the picture, read the book See the clues, solve the puzzle, all we really lack is time Mind’s vision getting fuzzy, seems I really have to try To see the picture clear as day, days go by, the nights fly Hours eat the minutes then the seconds die Hook 1 Cut the lights, yeah, live my life in the dark Cut the lights, yeah, you can’t lie to the heart Cut the lights, yeah, keep your gaze at the clock ‘Cause when minutes turn to hours then the days will never stop Cut the lights, yeah, live my life in the dark Cut the lights, yeah, you can’t lie to the heart Cut the lights, yeah, keep running ‘till your free Shut the mind off, eyes shut, until you sleep Until you sleep, until you sleep, until you sleep, until you sleep

Verse 1 Every time the sun rise, the sun set, running to your own death March to the beat of your own drum, hotep Never comes to those who condone dread Toe tapping fast, seeing red in your own head End zone in sight, born to fight, bless the mic with the notepad Every time I write, it’s a trip like a moped I once was a coke head, sniffed ‘till the throat red Numb as fuck, doing dirt, yeah, bragging and boastin’ All the shit I put myself through left me changed I only had two bucks to my name, the rest was change Set my aim high, but getting high was the game Brain should be fried but I’m alright just the same Hook 1 Come back, like I lost myself Come back, Like there’s no one else Attack, all the screaming is in vain No slack, stay Hidden all the same Come back, ‘cause I lost myself Come back, and now there’s no one else Attack, all that’s left is the name No slack, ‘cause Hidden I remain Verse 2 Every decision comes equipped with a weapon, pick your best one Stand your ground, be the mountain, while the rest run Drinking up the red rum, beating like the best drums Working every week, I will speak it into legend For speaking, I was destined, keep reaching every second Tentacles through the web until the world accept my presence Respect my essence as it spreads through the galaxy Silencing opposition, my decision if you challenge me Listen to the balance, it’s ever changing mortality Life and death finality, it’s surrounding me Don’t doubt that when it’s gone, you'll be screaming fuck that But youth is finite and it never comes back Hook 2 ...Back, like I lost myself Come back, Like there’s no one else Attack, all the screaming is in vain No slack, stay Hidden all the same Come back, ‘cause I lost myself Come back, and now there’s no one else Attack, all that’s left is the name No slack, ‘cause Hidden I remain Hook 3 Come back, like I lost myself Come back, Like there’s no one else Attack, all the screaming is in vain No slack, stay Hidden all the same Come back, ‘cause I lost myself Come back, and now there’s no one else Attack, all that’s left is the name No slack, ‘cause Hidden I remain ‘Cause Hidden I remain, ‘cause Hidden I remain, ‘Cause Hidden I remain

Verse 1 Everything I want’s a moving target, leave the world broken-hearted Accept the constant change or get the fuck out of my car bitch Don’t start shit you can’t finish is a lie Married to the chaos, with it ‘till I die Minutes flicking by, time the monster in the sky Cling hard to the rhymes, the art get me by Say goodbye, and goodnight to the bad guy Cliche you can’t see me like a cat with two bad eyes Bad vibes, like a cat that’s been cornered Hair up, body tense, brain buzzing like a hornet Feel the torment, each day shorter than the last Off the path beaten heavy, walking forward from the past Move fast, move fast, but I still can’t escape We all love it ‘till we don’t, then we start screaming rape Smoke ‘till you quit but you still breathe in vape Took a long lunch but I still need a break Verse 2 In the gutters, call me garbage, I’m the trash-man Do it for the fuck of it, it’s not about the cash man Think I give a fuck what you think then you misguided Don’t fight it, let ‘em speak how they want as I blow by ‘em Don’t like it, fine, kick rocks, you can’t define Hip Hop Keep pushing product ‘till one day the rocket lifts off If it don’t, oh well, fuck that would a could a shit Makes no difference, ‘cause I’ll never be as good as good can get Perfectionist, mixed with I.D.G.A.F Like I’m cursed with a gift, so I’m frightened to the death Can’t hide it from the rest, I am different from them all Most similar to those who stop to listen to the call Lost drifting through the fog, weed taking over But I’m happier than ever back before I was sober Absurd, like saying you happy getting older Time eventually makes the smallest stones from boulders

HiddenRoad takes on all the production and handles the rhymes on all tracks excluding one, “Right Hand of the Shogun”, which features Neaality Gandhi & SoulKeeper..
