Verse 1
I’m a warrior, hack ‘em up, live by Bushido
Chop heads, stack ‘em up, don't give a fuck about a c-note
No free throws, throw a knife right through your neck
If your enemy, blow a gauge right through your chest
No contest, bathe in the blood of the dead
Katana blade stained, permanent color red
Hip Hop is a battle, hit the scene go berserk
Torch blaze the saddle I can kill with a verse
Never quench my thirst, I kill it and want more
Gift and the curse, words kick through your front door
I’m an animal, damage you all, live for the carnage
Flow mechanical, hammer through walls, always hit the target
Cause panic, tyrannical jaws rip through your carcass
Gross antics, my mandibles raw, your ripe for the harvest
Warlord incarnate, no need for you to hide
Hidden will appear before your eyes right before you die
Verse 2
Next wave, charge, enter the skirmish with blood lust
My samurai mind sent to demolish with one thrust
One touch, turn you to ash and let the breeze scatter
Field is home, step up to the plate I’m yelling swing batter
Never leave tattered, leave enemies shattered
Never concede, rather victory’s all I believe matters
Long cloak, sharp edge, known to harbor vendettas
White skin, dark flows that go way back, I’m a trendsetter
Follow the warrior, never get behind a pacifist
Imagine it, before my hand holds a white flag I’m smashin’ it
Running through the front lines, slashing legs yellin’ timber
Decapitation fascination, choppin’ heads in slivers
Swim in red rivers, the winter is coming hither
Hidden death giver, the ribbon is cut with scissors
Grand opening, see the warrior, come one and all
Death in battle is honor, the warrior answers the call

Verse 1 (Hidden)
Let the battle be joined, that’s the slogan
Blood of the samurai, hand of the shogun
Four stand strong out of forty-seven ronan
Charge the enemy line, straight fury leave it broken
Katana held high, blood drips down the blade
Hip deep in the slain, showers of red rain
Wear the mask of a demon, DragonBorn and L.A.
Lucifer laughs loud on this deadly hell day
Verse 2 (Hidden)
Attack with the might of a warrior, watch ‘em perish
Slash a coward as he trembles, gain his spirit
Blood samurais never die, battle is eternal
Horse ride to the after life, battle in the inferno
Pain is my friend, carnage is my master
The past is irrelevant, wrath for the bastards
Death is glorious, take the form of the skull
The story gory, the four were born in the cold
Verse 3 (Hidden)
A thousand cut down at the hands of the four
Blood drenched ground to slick to stand from the gore
Hands covered, face glistens, listen to death scream out
A whole army destroyed, see the red bleed out
We are monstrous, to battle is the only way
The air is ominous, remain savage to the grave
Face down the horde, the four become godlike
Countless armies prepare to fight and they will all die
Verse 4 (Hidden)
A grotesque display, all focused engaged
On destruction, inhale smoke from the blaze
Bodies burn, stomachs turn, watch the heads roll
Many tried but there is no escape from death’s toll
Swing the sword to the finish, dagger to the end
Lucifer’s Apostles combine with a dragon never bend
You’ll never win, It’s your destiny to fail
Four warriors form together like weaponry from hell

The Way

Verse 1
Hidden drop fire, flow with the power of bushi
Plate full of beats, raw, devour like sushi
Fuck the mainstream, the music does not move me
Tired of the tricks, bend ‘em over the knee like Lucy
Strong like Bruce Lee, born with a dragon mind
Fuck your life, before I conform I would rather die
Walk the plank with glee and scream see you in the afterlife
Not a prank, I would accept my death, never bat an eye
I take pride in being different, your simple
My mental power so strong, pop you like a pimple
Mix my voice with oriental sounds, I’m monumental
Face the hero, strike ‘em down, like the monster Grendel
Put my pencil to the page and scribe an epic
The shit y'all write is just a tragedy, 9/11
You fight with sticks and stones, an what I write is my weapon
No longer say I rap cause I don’t like where it's headed
Verse 2
The way is my own, fierce like a warrior’s vision
Never be a clone, I don’t care about who listens
Unique as can be, I am one of a kind
Over the heads of most, see, dumb never lies
Your stupid, I’m not, drop extravagent lines
Oh me, oh my mind is magic inclined
Make magic with rhymes , I am not just a person
Full of ancient knowledge like the lost books of Merlin
Fuck your style, I’m done with that shit
You should be too, the fat lady sung like a bitch
Treat beats like a step kid, beat ‘em up daily
It’s just straight up fuck you, I don’t want you to pay me
I sit in a room alone, just a bit anti social
I don’t mean deliver mail when I say that I’ll go postal
I’m focused, never follow the way of another
The blind follow the blind and the dumb lead the dumber

Seppuku
03:06

Verse 1
Die in battle, it’s the only way
If not that get on your knees on that lonely day
Never go out at the hands of a coward
Never cower, I stand tall as the meteors shower
Bring ‘em down, hit the deck, let the sky fall
Fuckin’ clowns, no respect, let ‘em die small
Never grovel, never bow, no fear in my eye balls
Arrow to the chest, I’m still there when the fights off
Let the cards fall where they may, fate is the master
The bastards get in the way, slash ‘em up faster
The path is true only if you choose honor
The rest get chewed up, no clue, no bother
Take aim fire, bullet true, see the head drop
Gaze in the eyes, red and blue, as the heart stops
Never hate the kill, embrace the conundrum
No rage, hands still, a warrior is a hunter
Chorus 1
Seppuku is honor, the father displays
The way the warrior follows is all in the brain
Accept the path, never run, walk through the rain
Never fear life or death, you must swallow the pain
Seppuku is honor, the battle’s inside
Death becomes life, don’t get captured alive
Seppuku is honor if you live by the sword
A warrior must only die of his own accord
Verse 2
The soul is calm as the breath leaves the chest
Eternal rest is no disease, seize death’s caress
Ingest the poison, stand straight to the last second
The backs heavy, the flag steady, the past lessens
Take ‘em to the edge, bring ‘em all out
Heavy heads, severed necks, let ‘em fall down
Let the river run red ‘till they all drown
Blade beckons death, hear the call now
Destiny makes no mistakes, fate is the jester
The hecklers get in the way, make sure they fester
The records will show the brave through the ages
The pages turn heavy, displayed by sages
Hear the storm, feel it rage, destroy the whole lot
Glowing flames, feel the blaze, burn the whole crop
Turn the day to night, bathe ‘em all in kerosene
The honor is to die and let all of the spirits free
Chorus 2
Seppuku is honor, the father displays
The way the warrior follows is all in the brain
Accept the path, never run, walk through the rain
Never fear life or death, you must swallow the pain
Seppuku is honor, the battle’s inside
Death becomes life, don’t get captured alive
Seppuku is honor if you live by the sword
A warrior must only die of his own accord

Verse (HiddenRoad)
Hidden’s blessed like a god among animals
Rip flesh with the claws and the mandibles
Weak foes give me no pause, I’m tyrannical
Speak prose, I never fall for the anecdotes
No antidote for this poison, I am viper-ish
I don’t miss, Iron fist is what I’m striking with
K.O., watch him fall to the floor
Pummel the face ‘till he can’t brawl anymore
Hachiman, I am god to the senshi
Bushi within me will soon be ascending
I follow the way of the blood soaked sword
No blockade can stop me, I run through doors
Cut ‘em down let ‘em lay
Let ‘em drown, let ‘em fade
I will never fade away, my katana will be legend
Ronan number forty seven born to make a strong impression
Chorus
Hachiman, I am god to the senshi
Hachiman, I am god to the senshi
Hachiman, I am god to the senshi
Hachiman, I am god to the senshi
Hachiman, I am god to the senshi
Hachiman, I am god to the senshi

Verse (HiddenRoad)
First shot got ‘em dead to rights
Ride on the shogun, he’ll be dead tonight
Fear no one, big sword cut swift
Anyone oppose leave ‘em prone, folded like a bitch
Hidden lives the life of a warlord
Bloody days and nights, feel the fright like I’m Mordor
Like a warlock, words captivate like spells
Strike the unworthy worms, decapitate the frail
Fuck rap, I will conquer like a Khan
Eat beats like a monster ‘till I’m gone
Unholy spawn, I dwell in the underground
Associate with followers of hell when they come around
The apostles, we transform to the killer form
Thunder blasts and lightning ‘till every other rapper feel the storm
Cause a ruckus, megalomaniac like Jim Jones
Snatch a rapper by the toe and snap his neck like thin bones

Verse (HiddenRoad)
I write with the power of life, power of death
Every breath begets change, every coward is left
Quick sand, second chance, never take an hour to step
Stairs infinite, begin the quest, the watching owl is left
Kings raise the scepter, the lying leopard has leapt
As he crept with catlike prowess where every records kept
Catch your breath, I watch in awe, jaw to the floor
As the frauds keep claiming God and walk through the door
Take two, take a second, let the syllables set and harden
Several artists claiming seven as they step into my garden
Hands down I am the sage that gave the ignorant a pardon
Gave the blind sight, the dark light, disease it was discarded
The sea was parted, staff up, the mystery is real
Symbolic mystery lifted by mystic pencils that I wield

Slip

Verse 1
For years I’ve been looking at my life like it’s two bit
No if or and's, no question when I will improve it
Just ruthless decisions, no heart whatever the mission I do it
True shit, these loose lips could sink two ships
Now I’m trying to think before I speak
Put my heart into my words, trying to eat before I drink
Now I’m trying to look before I leap
Put my soul into my actions, trying to sow before I reap
See I never gave a fuck
Thought no one ever gave me enough
But I see the error in that mind state
The crime rate keeps growing, but now I know that I’m safe
I turned my back upon a lot
But I never ran, I simply walked away before I got shot
Now I’m sitting thinking ‘bout the realist shit
Life seems meaningless, until you start to feel it slip
Chorus 1
Never looking at my life, only looking for the prize
No one can budget proper ‘till they start looking at the price
The mirror had me looking in my eyes
Thinking what would it be like to start looking with my mind
One day you’ll hear the knock and you’ll know that this is it
But only once you reach the edge and you start to feel it slip
We feel it slip, we feel it slip, we feel it slip, we feel it slip
Life is quick so right the ship, before it slips
Verse 2
Remember one thing when you start to feel you’ve been bested
The lesson we never truly learn until the deathbed
The hows and whys don't matter much, it’s bad enough
We spend our time staring at numbers always trying to add ‘em up
You’ll never have enough until you give on that dream
Scrooge McDuck was sad as fuck, this life is not a magazine
This life is not always bad as it seems
Go soak it up, become a sponge, spend the cash on magic beans
It doesn't matter if they're real or not
The realist shit in life is the day when you stop feeling that knot
In your stomach, always wondering when is that and where is that
Why is his better than mine and why is hers better than that
Be happy with what you have
It’s so cliche and yet we all forget and live like Mr. Crabs
The truth about money, it can only buy shit
And you'll realize the truth when you feel this life slip
Chorus 2
Never looking at my life, only looking for the prize
No one can budget proper ‘till they start looking at the price
The mirror had me looking in my eyes
Thinking what would it be like to start looking with my mind
One day you’ll hear the knock and you’ll know that this is it
But only once you reach the edge and you start to feel it slip
We feel it slip, we feel it slip, we feel it slip, we feel it slip
Life is quick so right the ship, before it slips
Verse 3
The clock keeps ticking every day
Incessantly we try to master our time in every way
But life is not about a clock, about an hour or a minute
Life is about how you spend it, the good times we find within it
The clock doesn't care when you die, it just keeps spinning
Time is venom, take the time to feel the rhythm
Its cliche, but stop and smell the flowers
It’s ok, even if for just one minute every hour
I know this is tough for the restless
I wrestle with this, my brain is constant congested
It’s like all my thoughts are infested
Always trying to cook the food without stopping to ingest it
But that road is a dead end
The only finish line we cross is loneliness and dead friends
So stop to take in the fresh air for a bit
If not now, then you'll do it once you feel the world slip
Chorus 3
Never looking at my life, only looking for the prize
No one can budget proper ‘till they start looking at the price
The mirror had me looking in my eyes
Thinking what would it be like to start looking with my mind
One day you’ll hear the knock and you’ll know that this is it
But only once you reach the edge and you start to feel it slip
We feel it slip, we feel it slip, we feel it slip, we feel it slip
Life is quick so right the ship, before it slips

Wild Arms

Verse 1
Let me tell you a story, this is how it began
A boy on a farm in a far off land
He lived life pure no blood or carnage and
He was content on his farm, had no farther plans
One day with a crash, the sky fell down
A glowing orb hit the ground, cracked, demons poured out
The boy had no choice, he stood in dismay
As the demons proceeded to crush all in their way
The dark ones had a plan, everyone would be harmed
The boy had to make a stand, he put a gun on his arm
And went wild, attacking the metal beasts with a frenzy
Blasted hundreds but the enemies were never ending
As time passed on, the evil army grew
And the boy gained companions, first one, then two
Now a trio they traveled the land collecting weapons
They knew a big battles at hand up in the heavens
Chorus 1
A boy when it began, battle scarred became a man
Wild arms, big guns charging through the lands
Started out as one but it soon became three
Great minds face adversity and do the same thing
Life was just normal then they were thrust in the fold
Tragedy breeds warriors, true warriors will break the mold
Face an army with no fear and do ‘em harm
Become one with the gun and fight with wild arms
Verse 2
As the journey progressed, they faced many foes
Battles took many forms, had to stay on their toes
They battled across the planet until they learned
The demons only purpose was to see the earth’s surface burn
The demons were made of metal, they came from the sky
They would not be satisfied ‘till everyone died
So the trio had to make a choice, stay and be killed
Or take the fight to the demon lords slay them for real
The demon soldiers were dumb, they just followed orders
The trio decided they had to face the true warriors
Up in the sky, so they took a trip to the demon ship
And proceeded to lay siege, it was time to finish this
The battle was joined, demon lords had the upper hand
Home field advantage, but the trio had another plan
They combined arms, put the barrel to the ship core
Let off rounds at the same time, finally finished this war
Chorus 2
Normal at the start, but the trio had heart
Warrior spirit lives strong in those who choose the part
When tragedy strikes a man picks up a gun
And savagely strikes the enemy, wild arms never run
It all started when the boy vowed to never give in
In the process he gained two true friends
They laid down their lives to gain the true prize
Moral of the story, true warriors thrive on sacrifice
