Swordsman Verse 1 I'm feeling so terrific, go toe to toe with gymnasts How I flip it, so specific, go and check the forensics It's my DNA, genome, impossible to copy On my G-shit, grown man, (you) lookin' kind of sloppy I'm a swordsman, the battle is where I'm comfortable In the saddle something tough, don't give a fuck who comin' bro I'm bustin' at the notion, ride the waves to the ocean No brakes, we just coastin', coast to coast with commotion Pop the potion, going poof! high as fuck like a wierdo Chillin' like a villain, I could never be a hero Sword whip you like a pyrex, cut you like a pirate We the pilots high-jackin' planes, point the pistol and we fire it Spread the virus, the COVID 1-9 of the underground Coughing up the dopest rhymes everytime we come around Never dumb it down, yeah we summon sounds Bring the thunder loud, fuck the system, yo we shut it down! Hook 1 See me with the troops, yo we ride heavy Iron on my side, metal boots, yeah we die ready Look alive, can't Dodge like you drive Chevy Machete on the side, blade sharp, lookin' mighty deadly See me with the generals, strategy to the max Art of war, how we lacing it, glad to be on attack Click clack, never fuck with this energy I intend to be finishing first, face the enemy! Verse 2 Fuck your identity, more than a few, like ten of me I bring it to the table, fill the plate with obscenities Put the heads on the pikes, fuck your life no amenities Wanna censor me? I buttfuck your ear virginity Bitch, fuckin' grimy, true grit, nothing shiny Two bit? never that, think it's sweet? come and try me something mighty, ego big, make you look so tiny Time to pull out the cheese, acting like a bitch? stop the whinin' (wine-in') Leave no chance for you to chime in, pressure pop you hymens Expire you like a dinosaur, you t-rex sized vagina M-Bison, boss shit, hit seismic with the science Imperfect giants, HRS, form the alliance Hold the banner up high for those hidden underneath middle finger to the world, get the fuck up off of me Constantly on the edge, sword leap from the scabbard Split second on the average, face defeat from these bastards Hook 2 See me with the troops, yo we ride heavy Iron on my side, metal boots, yeah we die ready Look alive, can't Dodge like you drive Chevy Machete on the side, blade sharp, lookin' mighty deadly See me with the generals, strategy to the max Art of war, how we lacing it, glad to be on attack Click clack, never fuck with this energy I intend to be finishing first, face the enemy!

Inside the Urn Verse Feet to the concrete, walking down this long street Don't ask, how the fuck I got here is beyond me Mobb Deep, see the shook ones sulk behind me Grimy, why I keep a sharp blade within my reach Try me? in the rearview you look so tiny Find me? impossible, cause I don't even know where I be Always rhyming, semi-automatic with the marker Ink dark, need it darker, so savage I eat the carcass Rappin' is not the target, more to life beneath the carpet Lift up the corner, find those of us who've been discarded Bombarded by the world, it keeps throwing the kitchen sink Try to keep afloat, if you quit rowing this bitch will sink Lost forever to the drink, the ocean vast beyond imagined Buried several fathoms under the ground like Bilbo Baggins Leave the package at the door then get the fuck off of my porch Gaze sharp like a sword, if looks could kill you'd be scorched Flame thrower, try to win 'till the game is over Never give up premature, keep marchin' forward like a soldier Hard to turn the other shoulder, let alone the other cheek If you try to come at me, you'll find out that your futures bleak Just climb 'till you hit the peak, small boulder to the mountain Action drives the world, do more than throw your pennies in the fountain Foot heavy on the gas, swervin' in and out of traffic More than surface layer, see the face hidden beneath the graphics See it, taste it, like it's magic Let it lavish your senses, you gotta have it Success, it comes in flashes, gotta grab it when it pass bye Until you take your last breath, no such thing as a last try Turn effort to a pass-time, write like it's the last rhyme Middle finger to the critics, don't give a fuck if you get chastized Colder than a glass eye, still I let the fire burn Not concerned, pouring out the gas till the liers learn This goes out to the underdogs, the ones who would like a turn No matter what, we keep comin' y'all, leave you inside an urn
3.	West Winds 03:27	lyrics	buy track
West Winds Verse 1 I grew up floatin' on the west winds, mirror as a best friend Always hopin' I was chosen as one of the best men Destined, or something greater I really yearned Lesson learned, stick your hand in the fire it's gettin' burned I watched my dreams float away Turned my back on myself, just so I could go out and play But the game was on me, as I became a zombie Air the blame with the laundry, looking back it's beyond me I could have been where I'm at at thirty at age of twenty-one Was undone by the damages, stuck, I've just begun Left struck by the lightning, head throbbing from the lighting Migraines inside my brain, at times they send me into hiding Sunglasses on at night, no it's not fashion statement What I deal with in my life, best described as exacerbating Body fragile, disaster waiting, hurt from procrastinating Willpower weak for the drink, it was painfully fascinating Bridge 1 Now the wind's at my back and it's time to head West Head West... Head West… West, West, West, West Hook 1 Hair in disarray, wind blowing from the West Make you sweat, bags under the eyes you need rest In duress, hear the distress, we stumble on the steps Such a mess, nevertheless we go out and do our best Life in disarray, had many monkeys on the back No slack, muscle tension attack knock you off track No flack, it's not like we ever asked to come in last Torrid past, still we wait out the storm until it's passed Verse 2 Still floatin’ with the clouds, like to think a bit more grounded But the truth is Hidden beneath the surface inside the sounds It's incredible, how I'm standing today, I cannot say What I can tell you is to never give up or fade away I was walking' with no direction Got lost in the self reflection, obnoxiously introspective How often we miss the message, thrown off from the O's and X's It's awfully over stressed, but the point is have no regrets with a somber tone, set the record straight for the chronicles Associate the snake with the monocle A topic for another tune, soon to be exhumed Now the skeletons out of the closet, let's clear the tomb Still alive so I won, should be dead from the things I've done Never run from reality, heads up when the reaper comes Best to know, he don't give a fuck what the reason was One thing is certain, where we headed won't none of us need a gun Bridge 2 Death, death, death, death and it's time to head West Head West... Head West... West, West, West, West Hook 2 Hair in disarray, wind blowing from the West Make you sweat, bags under the eyes you need rest In duress, hear the distress, we stumble on the steps Such a mess, nevertheless we go out and do our best Life in disarray, had many monkeys on the back No slack, muscle tension attack knock you off track No flack, it's not like we ever asked to come in last Torrid past, still we wait out the storm until it's passed

A Warrior's Story Verse 1 A Warrior's story, never give in, tunnel vision Loss after loss, bad decisions, never winnin' Self isolation, you know it from COVID 1 - 9 Me, I've been doing this shit my whole fuckin' life No fuckin' lies, apologize, not a chance I refuse to be a statistical victim of circumstance Shut off from the world, Hidden, what's in a name? Without ability to tell other people who feel the same Deal with the shame, not living my full potential Not to mention now they tellin' my people they not essential Unintentional impacts, damaged psyches of the populous Posthumous valor, long lost to the monstrousness Don't think about the consequence, until disaster swallows us We all headed the same way, no need for you to follow us Take solace in the truth, humans share common roots Existence finite, still we fight to live, if just to see the proof Hook 1 A Warrior's story, care to step inside the booth? Walk the path as I describe, put your feet inside my boots Go on, salute, salute, let the people eat a war Fight, die, rinse, repeat, never question what it's for No severance for the poor, no rest for the wicked 60 mill in my country left for dead if they get sickened A stipend for your thoughts, not saying I got the answer I'm just sayin' no Corona, half a mill still dead from cancer Every year.. Verse 2 Home of the slaves? nah, the land of the brain dead A nation of immigrants, overfed who won't break bread Many lost among us, poor we could let 'em eat Instead we spent trillions on a war in the Middle East Where's the logic? end in sight, see the comet The blast is sonic, no man can live beyond it No time left to ponder, where we headed is under Still we wake up and face the storm, never fret about the thunder We were born to be some warriors, just check the genetic code Conquered the wooly mammoth, survived through the wretched cold Bound to take some losses, but not forever though Get hot? then just let it snow, adapt to a better flow Attack, this is all I know, perspective of the warrior Battle sharp, I always expect chaos from out of order It's always worse across the border when your on the better side I'm just saying think it through, a warrior's not afraid to die Hook 2 A Warrior's story, care to step inside the booth? Walk the path as I describe, put your feet inside my boots Go on, salute, saulte, let the people eat a war Fight, die, rinse, repeat, never question what it's for No severance for the poor, no rest for the wicked 60 mill in my country left for dead if they get sickened A stipend for your thoughts, not saying I got the answer I'm just sayin' no Corona, half a mill still dead from cancer Every year..
5.	To the East 03:16	lyrics	buy track
To the East Verse 1 I grew up livin' like time was borrowed, no tomorrow The shogun's fallacy, samurai chose to follow Cloaked in sorrow, harrowing experience serious Trauma come in many forms, onslaught fast and furious At a young age, entered in the fray, many areas Different arenas, amplified mind prepared to carry us Carry us, levitating chariots engage Fly above the barriers, they're clearly in the way Are you hearing me today? no ulterior motives Just superior focus, master your primary locus Locusts let unto the wind, wherever they go it is chosen Universal law guides from the shadows, never broken Put my hope into the East, new day, risen for the feast Try and beat the sunset, to the West, prayin' for peace Past was then, we lock it out or we're bound to face defeat CTRL, ALT, DELETE, reset, but I would not accept retreat Hook 1 Heads up.. Keep your head up, keep moving to the East The rain will let up, keep cruising through the streets The illusions never cease, until you get the keys Open up the doors, keep moving to the East Heads up.. Keep your head up, keep moving to the beat Eyes to the future, just make sure to keep receipts Ask you will receive, the past is gone so let it be Open up your mind and keep moving to the East Verse 2 We do it grass roots, take a trip through the back routes Shortcuts and trap doors, tunnels with the black roof No cat, but the snakes outside keep it rat proof Snafu? Shotshell in the clip, let the strap loose The mind is my classroom, gone but be back soon Sometimes we need a break, still limping off the last wound Still trippin' off the past dude? gotta get it past you Hard times don't last forever, try and do your best to last through Try and laugh too, or at least let a chuckle out Let the buckle out, float above the doubt The truth loves the South where the fires bring heat Breathe in, breathe out, set your eyes to the East Try and rise with the sun, surprised by a son Grow wise, be the one, show him how it's done Then like a bullet leaves the gun, I'll be gone A new day from the gloom, to the East where we run Hook 2 Heads up.. Keep your head up, keep moving to the East The rain will let up, keep cruising through the streets The illusions never cease, until you get the keys Open up the doors, keep moving to the East Heads up.. Keep your head up, keep moving to the beat Eyes to the future, just make sure to keep receipts Ask you will receive, the past is gone so let it be Open up your mind and keep moving to the East
