rock paper scissors, shoot like a killer
ya wouldn’t last long like Scaramucc under lizards
go find a cash cow with a boob you can sip on
i’ll take your gal out play Celia Cruz then I twist her
This ain’t a pow wow more like a count down till dinner
season raw flesh while the quartet plays Zimmer
Pour some cabernet while the sun rays come hither
yo Kia roll the jay, let the hash burn and sizzle
Pass it off to Ladix who was staring at her easel
I was blessed to be amongst y’all
thats my cohort, my people
Sundays were rituals
some day we’ll get to do
a number of shows cause others will know the letter noon
coming soon to a town near you? NOPE
cause our sound is not allowed in Iran, AND
my producer is banned where I’m from, BUT
hip hop connected us that night in Milan, yo
we T-H-E, L-E-T-T. E-R-N-O, O-N y’all know
we T-H-E, L-E-T-T. E-R-N-O, O-N y’all know
its the last stop of the red line where you get off
a green couch you’ll slip off
stove with a tea pot that gets hot to sip on
tobacco leaf with hashish in Rizlas
hear Gil Scott speak till the clip burns your fingers
then take turns seeing who first hits a triple
40 to finish, before you turn 40 let us start us a business
sell this thing called art thats so subjective to critics
and its hard to think you’d make it when you’re being a realist
what is making it? yoooo it’s making a living
what is there to make when we’re already existing
focus on your passion then make a steady commitment
an existence well spent, yes we’re happy we did it
got a lot more to spend, we’re just dropping the second
got a chock full of gems since we combined in a session
this is how to understand two people coming from different
views on this land, still we’re sharing a vision
now we’re making the decision to be
we T-H-E, L-E-T-T. E-R-N-O, O-N y’all know
we T-H-E, L-E-T-T. E-R-N-O, O-N y’all know

Circus Tent

Verse 1:
Take hiatuses to get a break from this craziness
a circus in a tent
we got self righteous left sided alt righters thumb typers
wise me discussing from the side bench
a quarter back activist
Harvey groping actresses
tiki torching Nazi fits
refugees left optionless
Cardi B to Mitch McConnell hardly sleep cause Mr. Donald
love to tweet, we love to follow
up the street another sorrow
with no time spent looking at the fine print
got yourself a license now you’re part of ISIS
rolling on the sidewalk
leave a bunch of lifeless
bodies for the sirens
shake my head in silence
then play my Netflix desensitize the next threat
enterprise who strategize and analyze to get rich
televise those telling lies you tell on them you dead kid
watch precise there outside how many lives affected
Chorus:
Somewhere, old man withers
he sees death, as the new born gets up
the first steps, life will continue
so why take ourselves so seriously
Hook:
You wanna relax and kick your feet back? nuhuh
you trying to detach and find a new path? c’mon
look at the impact you need to react, get pumped!
don’t mind your business nor listen to facts just run
your mouth and fingers and then aim them at anyone
if you get triggered pull your trigger and blast your gun
theres no discussing repercussions whats done is done
we’re up to something we know nothing we’ve just begun
Chorus:
somewhere, old man withers
he sees death, as the new born gets up
the first steps, life will continue
so why take ourselves so seriously

Dry craters for nine acres
goodbye neighbors
abducted. sucked into a structure of lasers
they’re coming to claim us
we’re cats in the cradle/ wrapped in a fable
where the after math’s fatal
cause the master minds
mapped a math to blast disasters
that sent us back in time
now we’re looking like plato
mayday we made drones
that take aim and take souls
play dead or case closed
from lake shores to grey holes
just cause they say so
Genetically modified organizations the sorcerer shape shift
put a torch to the matrix then teleport to my spaceship
morphing like morpheus massive size magnetize orbits in to organization
fortified foreign lies falsify pages corpses buy cages
in a corporized basement blatant blind taking bites out the bacon slice
batted by the basic binds that keep your mind vacant why
Space craft
invade your waste land
enslave your race and
make way for mayhem
HANDS UP
bomb blast
touchdown
make contact
rush crowds with raw raps
crush cats in combat
HANDS UP
Alien invasion homosapien enslavement
80 suns away 80 ships is waiting my alias is ancient
made way before the solar system started spinning threw the apex
punch planets leave they
particles in the dark parts of space
creating carcusses out of everything that is carbon based
no armor guards my heads arms and legs
Apparatus capture cattles
carve maps in corn pastures
analyze the anatomic
mold brains to form statues
privatizing pyramids
patterns maze inform masters
disintegrate is imminent
conform now there no after
blow past the whole atmosphere

better know we control the pharaohs and the popes
that told you whats real
we own half the soul on this here
little globe we unload no arrows just a dose of some fear
Castles and casts
cast from religion
take half of your stash
like they practice division
no more propaganda presidents
cocky prime ministers
pimpin settlements
counting property line prisoners
no pity for your privilege
from city flats to villages
no idioms for idiots
senseless and insidious
get rid of all the precedents
combining crucial elements
for planet lives and specimens
initialize a reverence
Space craft
invade your waste land
enslave your race and
make way for mayhem
HANDS UP
bomb blast
touchdown
make contact
rush crowds with raw raps
crush cats in combat
HANDS UP

made mad room for ruminants
now we're gassed up like fumigants
Louis Pasteur that was lucrative
all these pastures are gonna do us in
my grandkids might not exist!
god damn where's my common sense!
let me get a Big Mac, large fries,
and oh...some mozzarella sticks
got a fetish for less is more but I need that new upgrade
Eddie Bernays the shepard who shaped
the field in which we graze
I got a feeling that we're slaves
I got a feeling that we're chained
to the feeling of a crave for possessions that will make
my sore thumb to a warm gun the rest is history
we're at the forefront, its important to think differently
We keep on giving you a reason
for you to give us a silent treatment
with silent seasons
our violent treatment
these silent seasons
why'd you need it?
we keep on giving you a reason
for you to give us a silent treatment
with silent seasons
our violent treatment
these silent seasons
why'd you need it?
now why'd we need it?
we dumping biocides, by and by, miles high
comfortable
opposite? ostracized off the site
done with you
copped a ride, hop inside, exhaust the pipes
run the fumes
fossilized on top of my white hyundai
unamused
control the speed of this holocene
keep closing on them every week
we stretch our reach to every species
rhino horn, bumble bee tree
private lawn, cut the jungle easy
fire arms if you can't be weeded
waters gone now pour the cement
honk your horns next silent season
we keep on giving you a reason
for you to give us a silent treatment
with silent seasons
our violent treatment
these silent seasons
why'd you need it?
we keep on giving you a reason
for you to give us a silent treatment
with silent seasons
our violent treatment
these silent seasons
why'd you need it?
now why'd we need it?

Blackout slow brain turns to muck
Yak
Go from the last bar too close to the first train that runs
Dash
Powder in nose smoke grows in my lung
Sacks
Whiskey liver, piss in river
4th row from the front
Back
At it again can't handle your drink
habitual liquor pours splash inside of 2 inch, glass diameters
order another round for us
Cin cin
The barkeep and the janitor
Six deep, malarkey what an amateur
Please leave or we'll have to call the manager
Flash forth to a green line passenger
Trying to stay awake before the 8th stop passes us
look around people staring at their Candy Crush.... Uh wtf
So I start to nod off till in walks this broad with some sexy clothes on
see Emma effers wouldn't usually make a move but
Emma effers had one too many brews so Emma effers thinks what's there to lose hey what's your name where you from what you do babe?
She nodded and got off
I nodded and sat down
she don't know what she's missing man god damn got a piss again
bro keep your mind on the prize
Focus for the moment keep your eyes open wide
Gotta fight off the urge to fall asleep and then die
There's a few stops left then we could call it a night
But! My lids feel heavy, barely hyrdated, lemme lay my head back
Curtains start closing, really i hope make it, start doze off to a guy who was playing sax

Where You At?

stardust residue
big bang centrifuge
black holes we getting through
tadpoles tentacles
plants grow plentiful
ash smoke hemisphere
ice caps, we fight back
and last till we get us here
day by day made our way past the many years
time and space collaborate
i think i see some grey hairs
noon to moon. womb to tomb
yo that’s all there is
wake up, do stuff, start again
where you at when the sunrise hits?
where you at when the sunshine out?
where you at when the sunset dips?
where you at when the freaks come out?
where you at when the shit get real?
where you at when you love the most?
where you at when you need to heal?
is where you’re at where you wanted to go?
whats a 24 look like in this life
you waking in the morning
or getting home from a late night
alarm clock, rooster crow
baby with some head lice
commute to a 9 to 6
a troop in reconnaissance
a troupe practice drama skits
deers in some head lights
cheers for the tenth time
praying five times to Mecca
sliding down a pole to get the dollar bills for lectures
7 billion on this globe turning slow around an ember
where you at when the sunrise hits?
where you at when the sunshine out?
where you at when the sunset dips?
where you at when the freaks come out?
where you at when the shit get real?
where you at when you love the most?
where you at when you need to heal?
is where you’re at where you wanted to go?
star light not in view
city grid center fuse
blacks out when weather brews
lab coats federal
plants smoke chemicals
assholes interfere
prozac, throw those back
and mask what we really fear
day by day made our way pas the many tears
time and space collaborate
create what we think is here
noon to moon, womb to tomb
is that all there is?
wake up, do stuff, start again
