Gradual 04:00
Now I get why things were taught like that Hiding truth, evading all non fiction and fact So damn you all, who stay down in the abyss to crawl Get a taste of what this life is like By achieving what’s expected each night But then you attempt to tell me that I got it all mixed up By hating on my well respected morals and such, So shut your mouth, you speak much nonsense, any chance you can Hanging on the dark side, planting seeds with no function Are you just playing man, pulling on my chain again Fabricating stories which blows shit out of proportion Cuz you’ve got logic, left-right, all directions in sight Be polite, at least give a clue that, leads me to the real you and "Suck me blue", "I got jew'd", "I was threw" (thrown) Out of my castle, my dreams and my throne That’s behind me, cuz I am the artist boiling now Just trying to let fear, pain, and passion out And I hope it bleeds through, every single message to you Don’t let em be pending, or pretending Take all that speak and start mending It’s guaranteed, matter of fact it’s guaransheed to work Is a testimony from a credible source all you need jerk All’s broke with that Gradual approach. So it appears to be that an approach with positivity Is necessary in creating, a firm grip of understanding But some don’t have the heart-the soul-or the feelings which Render you capable of grasping further deeper concept All you can take is what’s fed to you on normality’s plate Not testing the boundaries or options, in route right to your fate That would qualify as Gradual, nothing intellectual, to show Just shit you own, material objects that go straight to the ego in your dome Work on yourself before you come back at others at any chance You spend so much time getting caught up, stuck in an anger trance Easy with the stress, digress from all those conflicts Looking like a mess, possessed with the mind of a convict Can’t even imagine the thoughts that go on inside that head But I sensed it, a pattern, something I picked up since I was a kid Studied the furthest brink, and assessed which buttons to push And I trusted my instincts, but you, you let yours flush Scoured even the furthest brink, and assessed which buttons to push I trusted my instincts, but you, you let yours flush

Give me that rhyme scheme, Give me that all pro dream Give me, everything I need to exceed, while maintaining speed Ok, I’ve made the common of mistakes, but I learn from that Keeping mind on fact, step away from the gate or plate cuz I got that Mental content, that blows most out the vent Wish I could of had the current mind I have To have been judgmental while making preteen contact No, but instead I had to be dumbed down in the head That’s why it was so easy to sleep when I hit the bed And I woke up and got taught a bunch of innocence They never seem to forget to spit their fair share of negligent "Factual things", that were on this common track of teaching Telling us we’re special, showing independence, so deceiving You’re sorely mistaken, you have faken all the processes And have done minimal things that have encouraged the progressing Of the way we live, thanks MTV, creating D-Bag kids. Here’s a moment of silence, in hopes that you don’t live

Thanks Cecil 02:58
See I just want to fly Switch up the assumed position Bring everything back to here, I forgot to mention A big shift is coming, breaking chemistry up Creating a massive, unstoppable L'implosion City of Sound, touch the ground, cherish it Soak it in, deep, deep in your skin Now relax and do your thing it's time to shine hard Keep throwing out all it takes Never let no one make you stop And even if they got some stature in their voice Keep passion in everything you do your number one choice Don't be caught up in a rush of some eventful bullshit Take a couple puffs to the head and sit back in your chair kid World doesn't revolve around you either, so I don't know Have a heater, Take a breather One tremendous game of follow the leader If you really like to follow me, well then I guess that's a great decision let's play till ten But I recommend you do something good for yourself Get off that typical shelf, go create your own self wealth Keep throwing out all it takes And never let no one make you stop It's damn easy to give up on everything till you drop Keep throwing out all it takes And never let no one make you stop And on the flip side, dedication and hope Is what gets you to the top Collapsing the thought jar till they escape from that nasty place But they can be released with little pressure on the correct space Little bit more be sore be a.....Won't finish, it remains unknown I'm sure you can fill it in, by peeping context clues on tracks I've flown It's easy man, and I don't even have a motive Imagine what these words’ll convey When I'm with someone who's smoking Up the music world join along in the tornado swirl Come along goes out to all who hear truth call And let's get out in this world we live in and tell it to yall We won't stall, we'll have a ball, and we will enthral Todo Mis Hombres, Mis Chicas, y familia Releja un poco y escucha a la música Mi madre me decía cuando era un niño "Está una persona quien es una luz en el mundo" Gracias madre, pregunta alguien a traducirlo Pero te amo And you were responsible for much of my growth Keep throwing out all it takes Never let no one make you stop It's damn easy to give up on everything till you drop Keep throwing out all it takes And never let no one make you stop And on the flip side, dedication and hope Get you to the...

Some Battle 02:10
Coughing and choking and bleeding, Defenses gone away Grabbed himself off the arrogant shelf And took and drink He’d always dreamed of building a sturdier foundation Relying on stupidity to further his dynasty Set the mind free, clean debris, let it breathe Didn’t think large till the verb was be Struggled with the concept, fumbled the mindset Talking bout he, or him You know him hurting inside where it’s hidden Having difficulties with normalities Of the world, where good succeed Letting greed catch up with popularity Among other variables like X, Y, and Z It’s all he could do anymore Didn’t even care to alter his rapport Beat his emotions to the sore, pore core Didn’t let em lighten till he his bottle’s floor Finds his prescription in the drawer Pop those till his alter ego soars They wore, 24 hour store for more Knocked him out cold, till he wakes up Back to the sober hold

labyrinth 04:26
Putting pieces of the puzzle back together Mapping out all acting, including the weather And it’s strange, how each system works With a cause and effect, perks and quirks But ultimately setting itself free in it’s own mind Doing what it loves to do, it’s purpose free of binds That reminds it of the beautiful past I’m talking years ago, when happiness was full mast But then something crashed or something entered Probably unlashed the ever flaring temper Creating insecurity to the highest degree And strategizing pleas on how to get free And trying to be, the K-I-N-G of me I disagree with the decree it was she and he Now giving up was a terrible decision It looks like you really clouded up your vision And now, you got more negativity than ever You cleverly changed the direction of your endeavor Man, what were you thinking Are you already gonna let your future start sinking Look up to the light, and see the sun Now reflect on how your day has begun Fresh air through the nostrils, that’s Minnesota cold Giving constant effort up here, now that’s bold Bold enough to be what though, a human Another corpse filled with opinions with no fluid I didn’t know that they had a school that taught that Or did that, gradually come from being an arrogant punk ass Congrats, I guess, if that’s what you wanna hear When does maturity and honesty get here Sooner than later would be my recommendation Good luck to me for seizing your insubordination Could it be a form of retaliation A lack of concentration mixed with frustration You’re not bound to fit within regulation You do fit all symptoms of trepidation But now it’s clear to see that you’re lost The cost for living smart began to exhaust Now look up, it’s a little tougher to open That’s a common side effect from intermittently hoping You start backing up and thinking real hard Confusing yourself way more than you should Regretting past decisions played as cards No one ever really though you would How dare you, as you question your own motives Wishing you had optimistic locomotives But they’ve been stolen and crushed and beat to a pulp No one heard the ghostly screams for help, but you Stopped working, gave up and what not Probably mixed in with some habits don’t get caught Whatever I’m over still the labyrinth turns And we, all fall in and hopefully learn But it’s the recovery, the next opportunity that matters Don’t fill your life with messes that cause mental scatters Unless you wanna complete the equation for stress Headaches and hate and consequences we like less I’ve had enough of all that now, all the above I just wanna play shows while showing love Believe in myself, watch out for fate And don’t take the bait while in a debate with the snake I’m better than that I’ve shown it up to this point How many more years until my big appoint -ment in the mental cement of all you kids Rapping it so fast with the tongue and mouth I don’t even think I can stop it So it keeps coming, it’s a spill in my head of Crazy toxins that make my thoughts spread Estoy escribiendo rapido, pencil to pad Some writings have the diction of happy and some sad I leave it up to my body when I scribble em And God knows it’s not from the brain cuz it’s numb And I’ll never loose control of this positive stronghold Time to behold, the beauty unfold
