I didn't want to rap again but just listen to that beat I was sure I would never dance again but I look down and I am tapping my feet I didn't want to hate the world so I paid it no attention All our leaders want these wars so I wished on stars and whole constellations Laughing while we played with fire, forgetting every lesson it had to be uncertainty, walking away tore a hole in my world that we swirled out in like a riptide it wasn't what I wanted when it tasted sweet is it a Holy Spirit or a demon we seek? I began my life with a terrible disbelief and God was in the story books and in the minds of madmen with no ties to reality now here I am playing the part of the madman trying to find my way back to reality I returned to find that I was the bitter and unforgiving god I had feared all the long it's all the beautiful things that find their way to me. Life is liberty Life is slavery Life is victory Life is tragedy Life is comedy Life honesty Life is all these things...

Falling backwards into tombs best to be satiated through eternity when the men tried to make their rules chaos, she came smashed them and she ran away I'd rather keep company with sinners and fools if that's alright with you I know it's not but you could always look away I wouldn't mind. Who wants that dusty old soul when you've got an electronic product who wants their own control when you've got that elected office who wants them rusty old bones if you can get that Robocop body who wants to dig up them same strange stones How can we leave our lives behind like this? (Breaking your psyche down like Pennywise the Clown) The fire's ready mother The fire's waiting for us.

We are the goyem and we're seeing it, we're believing it and we're falling under your spell. Once again, back from the master into the rat. Humanity has got its cage back. Give me a second while we recollect a single fact that I can't shout back to keep my shit intact. The only way to fight it is to drop your phone and walk away and when they come in uninvited you better drop your load. Yeah, you read your bible, you read the Quran You talked to a yogi in Turkmenistan. God gave me... God saved the Queen... God gave me... God speaks to me. Once again, humanity has fallen in its trap. Every thirty years or so that monster comes back the old men have forgotten and the children never stand a chance to stand up to that black magic full-spectrum attack. We are the goyem, taught lies so we won't destroy em. brought down to our lowest form without ever knowing extermination planned in every land and nation 6 million in the holocaust, 7 billion in your re-creation yeah, you read your bible, you read the Quran you talked to a Rabbi in the holy land.

Let me introduce you to your new cage the contractual agreement between a master and his slave Just click agree. That me taxpayer, that's the C.O.G. Oh, you shouldn't say it just making the minimum payment and waiting until they're waving the eviction notice in front of your faces. (ahhahaha) That's a scary ghost, motherfucker. Rockefeller's dead, but they'll still tell you what you owe him Dig the motherfucker up and maybe you could blow him or wake a couple people up and try and fucking show em. People worried about them bankers and their money people think these wars are fought for oil people think they're watching but they've all been misdirected their paying their taxes with their time, sweat and toil. No, our world runs on blood. Our world runs on blood. People started wondering about that one guy at that creepy pizza shop. Hillary Clinton was involved, intimately. and everyone who's been running their mouth on the internet has been silenced by slap-suits, shamed or they're dead. Well no, not really. That's never the whole story but there's a hell of a lot of details and history worth exploring but people live off click-bait, headlines on fake stories told by magi who keep the lie from ever getting boring. The ritual abuse of us with trauma-based mind control it's written on our hearts to go along it's written on our minds the pillars topple every time. Stepping up for round number three a generation who is waking up to this grand hypocrisy but they don't understand shit about this lesson this is the externalization of their hierarchy yup, uh-huh, they want you to know yup, un-huh, they want you to see when their fucking your metaphorical wife they want you standing naked in the corner holding on your pee pee.

Memorial Day 02:27
I want to talk about my memorial day the people say it's for the soldiers we say they were made slaves to march away forever lost their lives fighting for whatever it probably doesn't matter anymore Memorial day is not made for the soldiers it's made to make the weak feel better that they sent a generation to kill celebrating all the women and children who couldn't live through the bomb It's a memorial to the world we could have had It's a memorial to the world we should have had I want to talk about why it's always the same the people say it's peace and love when bombs are dropping from above we say we fight for freedom we say we've got good reasons yet your God said 'thou shalt not kill' Memorial day is not made for the fallen it's made to keep survivors silent in guilt they know they sent a generation to kill celebrating all the women and children killed by your drones

Carrots in the ink well, carrots in the air well school's out, teacher ring that bell indoctrination saves us from hell hell, hell... helter skelter and drinking rye politicians eating pizza pie she's sweet sunshine, diamond eyed uber alles sweet sunshine, diamond eyed uber alles We fall and we echo so deep into you Can you hear that bell ringing can you hear that hell singing it is time to go back to school What are we teaching the precious children now-er-days What!? that's some mind slave stuff It's even worse than when we were young and being brought up in our so-called democratic space cult Get your compulsory education son from the mouth of the snake that you done run from we're not fucking around with you anymore baby we're not fucking around anymore

In a little fishing village on the coast of Oregon or Maine maybe it was coal mine, or maybe it was a cave once it had been started it could never be stopped not by the military, the secret service or the cops Scales fell from their eyes by thousands even the stubborn got on their knees it came to kill, it came to please what's the difference are you the wind or the leaves A little baby born as it's passed away was it born free or was it shit into a cage the minister stated it off with a strong prayer but when he heard it call to him he sat back in his chair the moment had passed the monk, the nun, the sacrifice they could only laugh it had moved them from the church back into the cage from the master's throne into the shackles of a slave. Politicians they screamed its name put blood on the streets and wept in shame. It's time we saw it as it was give it names and cast the blame fuel the fire we lit inside of the cave that crawled forth to call forth what, I can't say... What I can't say is what I won't say I can't tell you I won't tell you what I can't say An old woman is a bust place is grateful it came and heard her name she's waited this long to end her pain She takes it like a lover's embrace counts to three and does it with grace ...as she finally she's its face It appears a little bit differently to everyone a kiss on the lips, or a bit in a song it can feel raw and powerful to some but reckon with it everyone will, once. their days are numbered but yet there are still those who continue on the old path.

I don't believe in the sky anymore like you do (my tongue is bitten through) I don't believe in their lies anymore, it isn't true (it is a bitter proof) I can't go along anymore with you (I need a windier road) I just can't let myself fall for another ruse (pawn moves to the 8th square) Find somewhere nice and live your dreams far away from the false construct willing slaves call modern life

Kook 03:00
If you are a person who is of the mind that they're watching you You're a kook. If you can follow this train of thought off the tracks I can guarantee they won't be watching me. How far down the rabbit hole can we go? He's a kooky motherfucker He's a spooked motherfucker He's a dumb motherfucker uneducated galoot Who could be listening? Who are these people? What do they know? What they going to do about it? He's flipped out motherfucker He's a doped up motherfucker He's a far out motherfucker His mind is tore up Who could be listening? Who are these people? What do they know? What they going to do about it? Are these people kooks? or misunderstood revolutionaries? Are these people cool? A thousand whack jobs for every visionary If you are a person who is of the mind that you're bulletproof, you're a kook If you can follow this train of thought off the tracks I can guarantee you're more fucked up than me.

Rebirth as a brother to humankind... There's only one cure for what I put myself into There's only one way to fight the virus that's spreading to my burning brain a simple method to end all of my suffering and pain that hollow feeling in my poor prostate The vagina of the pig that bit me I need another salty taste of that inner place My rape is still fresh in my own mind I have a hernia my insides are falling out of the back of my spine. Rebirth as a brother to human kind I'm feeling like I should have been all the long A way of looking at things a little more clearly is to let this cruel mistress suck at my eye forget what I thought before I am addicted to being a whore the same kind of pig that we feared but we don't fear anymore The cunt of the swine that enveloped my mind it feels so safe to crawl back up inside right back here, painless and quick I become what I used to fear Attached at the uterus my blood tells me what I needed to hear I belong to something special warm and safe All I had to do was put my body back inside and still me tongue I am one of them one of the pigs and I like my own shit The cunt of the swine that enveloped my mind it feels so safe to crawl back up inside right back here, painless and quick I become what I used to fear The vagina of the pig that bit me I need another salty taste of that inner place My rape is still fresh in my own mind I have a hernia my insides are falling out of the back of my spine.

How to rap your way out of any situation As you can see it's real easy just drop day beat and play guitar real smooth over the top and let the party people know the bass about to drop... Fuck yeah. I could never rap my way around you I could never rap myself away to freedom Bringing machine guns to the natives we're bringing hip hop to the slaves The pirates with the skull and crossbones never went away... It hits you hard my tomahawk made of a word never have I seen an entire nation fall on its sword It feels good it feels right, sell the native children in the night enough beads and trash they'll never put up a fight they can pretend their not slaves, they'll take a lower wage while we build a media empire like a motherfucking radio mage if the guilt of it all keeps you anxious and weary sell em a little house with a picket fence straight out of Beverly Cleary Ramona age 88, she knew. Civilization was built on a pile of skulls add them to your collection and build a bunch of strip malls or save them up for something really giant like a Nephalihm to stomp the defiant Your next step, it's the simplest kind of answer start a cult, grow a base, spread your wealth like it's cancer when it's genocide, just don't forget there's a way to be forgiven you can try to rap your way out of any situation yeah, we all fall in... Bringing machine guns to the natives we're bringing hip hop to the slaves The pirates with the skull and crossbones never went away... It's very odd, this descent into manic-depressive behavior it'll take everything you've got, you're going to call me the savior and that's just fine if the result makes you feel bad if it's the only thing you've got left to give it's the only thing I'll ever ask let me tell you now, if it's any consolation this is how I rap my way out of any situation.

The crowd cheers for another line the old man wishes for a past time a mother proudly sends her child to war congress tells a lie it's never told before Sounds like a case of flag rape... Line up, stand up, straighten up this fucker is meant to bite a little you build the national pride we'll build the monument you waste your life we'll waste your mind stare at the fireworks you've been had one more time The minister calls for obedience it's a bomb scare it's political expedience this time the political formula is right this time we must show our national might That's funny, it sounded the same on the other side that feeling in your stomach on the roller coaster ride coming to terms with a totalitarian lifestyle coming to terms with living on the green mile. You're a grande olde flag You're a high flying flag and forever in peace may you kill It's time to celebrate flag day the only way I know how I'm draping myself in one and I'm infiltrating the crowd what's another ruse on these people? they'll line up and drop their roses laying them down on my fake grave It's the land of the free and the home of the brave too bad most things don't happen like they say a thousand points of lies a day, or more what happened to that seven-trillion dollars you deep state, bobo, mother fucking pedophile.

This is a love song for that nu-gilded age always online, I never see your real face flicking through an endless sea of lost souls looking for another consumer to make my hollow body feel whole. This is a love for the empty and the alone we cuddle up late at night while this frequency shatters our souls. How could we ever know if we've been robbed of something special by those principalities that we supposedly wrestle. I want to be part of your feedback loop I want to see what you consider the truth I want to be part of your feedback loop I want to be part of you. This is a love song if there's such a thing as love anymore If there ever was and we've been knocking at the wrong door I'll tell ya People of these modern times we're struggling to feel it We see images on the screen and we try to be it. I want to be your feedback loop (baby) I want to see your data stack dump (baby) I want to be your feedback look (baby) I want to feel that fire.

Mother's Day 03:29
Once she was a young girl full of promise, a hopeful future not a single regret in her heart but she's a broken old woman now Dusty city once was a center of industry a gleam in a young nation's eye then came the slavers and the greedy they tore the streets from one end to another Now only the empty can find a place here Ema said he'd be the one grow up to be anything maybe President she wouldn't accept anything else she kept on pushing him he let his serpent in he would do anything he took the dirty money he took to cruelty behind closed doors he wanted to please her always needing more he saw beyond his eyes he let his conscious die He let his conscious die he fed us all to worms he told his mother why she had to burn The story always seems the same the words dance around on the page into predictable and comfortable cliches everybody, every day. It's the death of virtue the snake is within you to get it out it has to bite you if i kill mine will you kill yours when the time comes to play dead I'll bring you forth

America, land of genocide tell us the reason your people had to die Bow down to our mechanical culture Bow down and stay the same Freedom to be like everybody else You've come a long way down a long way down Telling your people to forget themselves In this state of numbness Land of the free but not free to think hang up your minds forget about culture
