JFK 02:07
My thoughts are twisted My styles natural I stuffed a thousand years of wisdom in a satchel cats'll try to tell you that I'm faker than Manaj's ass (why?) I'm a savage my wrath ripped his entourage in half (oh ... ) Camouflage your path, I'm a ticking time bomb Been trying to find my mind but I'm afraid that mines gone We on a strange level compellingly killing the man We're beating the devil we're gathering rebels and doing the best we can Just face it kid cant a single person fuck with me The world could really use a change and I'd love to be Better than everyone busting a flow Saving the music and running the show It's gotta be me because I'm gonna go As hard as I can for the love and I know That my intentions are the purest in the galaxy I promise I will never flourish off a fallacy I took this butter knife and shoved it up O'Reilly's ass Then resurrected George Washington who would kindly smash The double party systems what the founders warned about They also cautioned of the bankers that were forming routes Around the government to take it over quietly I'm just waiting for the folks to open up their eyes and see The country was stolen round' 1911 When president Wilson gave bankers the weapon Control of the currency, nobody questions The agency running the money, suppression Of knowledge is present I rap about facts I'm bucking the system no time to relax I'm helping the planet with words in my tracks And taking it back for lovers of rap And rap is what I love that's what I'm all about If I catch a kid abusing mics then I'ma call him out You need to learn a couple things because you're fake as fuck Your brain is hollow and I'm not afraid to say you suck Give me the mic and I'll rip it again I'm coming to dominate I'm going to win If I can get money then I can defend The music I love, I don't pretend Like I dont want cash I need it to live If I had money I know that I'd give So take it slow control the flow and just enjoy the ride This is the greatest tape just face and destroy your pride Dont try to fight it just relax and trust the voice inside To take a nap or take a trip that is your choice, decide

Nice Guy 03:22
I wish I wasn't such a nice guy Cause' life'll pass you right by Feeling cheated as I gaze up at the night sky If everybody takes advantage of us, why try? Don't get it twisted I'ma elevate my wealth Earthworm is on a quest to get more gold than Michael Phelps Cause' Stealth is the tactic, this midget is jurassic Tornado kicked his fact and it made his body backflip He's gone now. Stop telling me I sound like so and so I can't help it I'm a kid I liked his flow and so It's natural. Please get off my back Dissing me for taking stands when you're a coward you lack Any conviction. I promise that I'm not an asshole Because I never raise surrender from my flagpole This kids a puppy dog. Me? I'm Chupacabra I'd say my style is sort of like Tupac meets Chubacca I got some pasta if you wanna come by I know you've dated lots of douches but I'm not just some guy That's gonna use you for sex, but hey! that's why they don't want me If I acted like a dick the demons in my head would haunt me CHORUS Cause' I'm a rebel of rhythm I gettem flippin and jumpin I tend to elevate your mental when I'm ripping there's somethin' that lives inside me. I calculate decisions wisely Hip-Hop is my religion cause' for real, this music guides me I feel like Grumpy Cat every time I bump a track People try to show me songs, I'm like dude ... this junk is flat The funk attack is coming in full effect I never gave a fuck I get dumb and I pull respect Like a lever, whatever when I get clever they never Realize I'm better competitor's records are softer than feathers I'm the Apex Predator. Twelve Steps Ahead of your average Redditor No disrespect, I'm just a messenger with hypocritical conflicting ridiculous views If you haven't noticed I'm twisted, sick, and confused So join the madness cause' nice guys finish first The secret is that there's no limits to the universe CHORUS Looks like Parappa the Rapper just went and blasted a pastor Caused a natural disaster then laughed at last the rapture's Among us. Cause' Honey Boo Boo's the apocalypse All intelligent people are jumping off of cliffs It's fucking hopeless. This is idiocracy It's not like reason is a complex philosophy We glorify slutty bitches, get in every bodies business Make fun of yuppie mystics blabbing about how lovely physics Can be. Because it's all about Swag Public acceptance and being plastic like a bag So fuck the planet, I'm sick of being quiet If they sold bottled tap water, I bet you'd buy it I should probably chill but I cant because I'm pissed off Every time you talk I want to rip your fucking lips off Houston we have lift off, who's this I've never heard of ya I never tried to hide it I'm a writer from suburbia

Reality 03:24
As I gaze at my reflection, I ask it all these questions I'm on the verge of being twenty, no professions excite me. I'm clinging to the thought I might be the one that kills the microphone I know that it's unlikely despite the overwhelming sense of doom that looms in my subconscious I'm confident that I'll accomplish These people look at me like I'm so fucking immature sometimes I goto sleep at night feeling so insecure I write these poems that nobody even sees I'm crushed by the feeling of love and sometimes its hard to breathe a captain doesn't bail on his vessel I'll never leave This music's all I have man, the people best believe until the day that I drop, I love hip-hop I'll never stop making this music around the clock until the day that I drop I love hip-hop I'll never stop making this music around the clock I don't give a damn about a quadratic equation instead I'm digging poetry, I'm addict for the bass and the scratching , that's the sound that gets my mind relaxing I'd rather write a triple double than subtract a fraction In fact lets go to aspen, cause I can rap it fast when I feel like better practice before you stab at this assassin I'm smashin', all these shitty rappers at a faster rate everything you said was wrong double check your facts are straight Master fate, take control, and rule your destiny If you want to skate, go to school, or be the best MC you have to try. cause life aint nothin but skills you'll be imprisoned in the matrix if you're loving blue pills until the day that I drop, I love hip-hop I'll never stop making this music around the clock until the day that I drop, I love hip-hop I'll never stop making this music around the clock man truthfully, I'll probably never be able to give the type of life most suburban families live with the swimming pool, the golden retriever, I'd need a great career feels like it would take a miracle for me to make it near I see a bunch of cheap apartments filled with nice guitars walking down the path of life alone guided by lights and stars fights and scars fill the empty shell until it's full of pain I dont want to sleep in the matrix, morpheus pull the chain Give me road trips, beautiful relationships I'm looking for something deeper than fortune I'm not chasing chips It's amazing kids get motivated by the status they watch the grammys and think to themselves that that's the baddest the saddest part is that their mentality reigns supreme they bump ratchet rappers I listen to visionaries sing songs of peace, now my peers think that I'm dumb I don't care this music's all I need I'm comfortably numb

John Lennon and Dr. King Shared a similar dream that bears a simple common theme The brotherhood of man was meant to unify as one It's not about the prophet or the crucified son It's the feeling within that inspires you to be The physical embodiment of positivity Just to see a human being smile because you gave a compliment To live at peace and to overcome the prominent Issues you wish you could squash, we have to grow If we never pay it forward then the kids will never know I've come so far it's like I finally saw the light As I knelt in that field on that dark spring night I'm a dreamer, I see it. I'm not the only one Captivated by the beauty of the moon and sun It was Guru, Gandhi, Gandalf, and Yoda The inner force within that just knows we're suppose ta Take a stand even in the face of death To sacrifice yourself, as the dreamer drew his final breath He ascended into infinite the prophecy fulfilled His spirit lived on despite the fact that he was killed I challenge you to build on the pre-existing dreams Of beautiful souls that existed because we as human beings still love after we die Just imagine, it's easy if you try Morpheus: "Let me tell you why you are here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You've felt it your entire life. There's something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there ... like a splinter in your mind" I saw a film called A Bugs Life back when I was six About this ant named Flik who could see through all the tricks Of these evil grasshoppers using fear as a tool To the rest of the colony Flik appeared as a fool But it was cool, cuz Flik was a free thinking soul He stood against adversity this ant played the role Of a revolutionary figure trying to take it back From the evil people fucking up the planet trying to jack Your freedom and your peace and your food every season Since we are the 99% there's no reason For us to be afraid of them they need us to survive It's no surprise that they try to divide Everybody into categories, race and religion Are nothing more than tools that they use people listen This shit has gotta stop this is how the humans fall It's time to take a stand and make a difference, it's your call Will you be the change you want to see or die like a punk? Quit perpetuating sin and quit faking the funk And please, quit producing junk and pretending like it's music If you think the point of life is cash then you're stupid All we have to do is change the way that we think It doesn't matter if you're man, woman, purple, or pink Treat a stranger like your brother put your prejudice aside It's for you to decide, at least this kid can say he tried Hopper: "Ideas are very dangerous things. You are mindless, soil shoving losers, put on this earth to serve us." Flik: "You're wrong. -- Mr. President --, Ants don't serve grasshoppers, it's you who need us" Fuck yeah Flik Party to another song, this is for the thinkers Present day philosophers my man I'm talking dreamers People that would rather live their life in peace People searching for the truth I think I'll fight the beast Because I'm sick of being lied to, I just want to live And make music, I want to be a kid For the rest of my days, kicking back with misses stunning Willard told me to walk so now I'm running To the park with my boom-box what did you expect? Oh you get Facebook likes? I get respect From the battles I participate in plus the songs I write well I never keep my mouth shut, so I just might tell A seniorita that she shouldn't get naked For anybody undeserving cuz sex is sacred When's the last time you heard somebody say that? It's a shame that these people never play that Face the facts, all they want is hits So that every single morning they get pancakes with grits While the kids like me can't even get biscuits Because we tried to write rhymes that include lyrics I'm not telling you to live your life in any type of way I'm just speaking my beliefs and while I'm here, I'd like to say Thank you for every single dreamer in existence If you feel the way I feel be part of the resistance And take it back this is for real it isn't play Strive to be a good person every single day Pay it forward could be real if you let it manifest It's hard to change the world but at least we tried our best

Good Enough 03:07
Sometimes a kid needs somebody to look up to I try to be the best brother because I love to Inspire people, that's why I'm here I'm not perfect I'm a human, I fear Rejection I been stressing that my tape would not be good enough Sometimes I go to sleep at night afraid that I'm not good enough Well what the hell is good enough? It's all perception I'm living for the greater good that's my direction Inception is taking place with positive vibes As I walk the land dodging the provocative tribes I feel alive. Full of hope. Free and optimistic If you don't feel the same I sincerely hope you fix it (how?) Take control of your body mind and soul Allow the beautiful moment to take hold Smile at your shitty car, Appreciate your giant house Respect yourself and leave if you have a violent spouse The force is real I can feel it all around me Sometimes I feel stupidity dominantly surrounds me It drowns me. Some nights I lose faith completely. Then I get back up on my feet because they will not defeat me It's easy to quit and give into the selfish ego It's difficult to show compassion I propose that we go Forward with humanity. No time for petty squabbles Forget about the lines that divide us forget your rivals Practice what you preach ask yourself What Would Gandhi Do? It's probably the same that Jesus, Martin King, or John would do But half of you will just ignore me judging everybody else When what you oughtta do is take a good look at yourself ... Shit, that's as real as it gets I'm the furthest from the illest I appeal to the kids That feel the system is rigged. I'd rather do a show I'd rather make a bunch of music I would rather go To the edges of oblivion and defecate on Satan's face I'm always moving forward I'm not trying to stay in place The saving grace was absent so I took a chance and tried He never wrote an answer back because his hands were tied I killed him, that's a fact and you know it Look, I acknowledge I'm an angry jealous poet Devoted to the music. Angry with the mainstream. That's why I dissed him I felt like it was the same thing That Drake would talk about I'm about to blow my brains out In my mother's house so that she has to clean the stains out My thoughts are fucked up. Music makes it better When I'm in the zone, I feel like spongebob in a sweater Do you understand Hip-Hop's what I'd die for? For every rhyme you got, I got 25 more Feeling like a cyborg staying up til' Five Forty Six Every single morning making music, I bore People that just want some shit that they can dance to I swear to god I feel afraid that they won't jam to The music I've created I'm afraid of being laughed at There goes that wanna be rapper man, what an ass hat From 2012 til' I'm not afraid of failing I'm jumping off the cliff head first I'm impaling Myself against the gravel it's a giant leap of faith Until I make it, I'll be working at a pizza place You can laugh you can talk a bunch of shit You can call me egotistic, you can tell your friends that I'm a dick Cause I don't give a damn. I don't like you anyway I love to battle and I'm down for that shit any day Call me Earnest Hemingway I write more than Tolstoy My stack of raps looks like "War and Peace" my souls joy Is more important than what mother fuckers think of me This is not a phony image I rebel instinctively So Fuck Society. And Fuck a Hypocrite. And Fuck every person judging me I'm sick of it

I clock in 7 minutes late as usual No sense of urgency pretending life's a musical My boss is pissed. She smiles but its fake There's a shit load of deliveries to take I gather all the different Items on the ticket My car is busted but I cant afford to fix it I travel 7 miles to the boundaries borders Just to get the whopping tip of 2 dollars in quarters What a douche bag I hope he catches AIDS My next delivery is at a strip club, I hope they're down for trades I'm aggravated stress is piling So I roll the windows up put on a beat and start freestyling Get so excited that I swerve and hit a phone pole Kill a homeless person hit and run that shit was stone cold 6 minutes later cops are chasing me. K-9 Units bite my ass, now the jakes are tazing me I can't believe that they locked me in a FEMA Camp And sewed my mouth shut so every time I try to scream I can't Thinking to myself this is obnoxious As I snap out of it I realize I'm folding boxes

(That's Jamie singing the hook) I write the contagious phrases. My tape amazes It raises you to places that you haven't felt for ages I feel courageous when battling on stages My music's guaranteed to open ears like gauges My style erases stupid then replaces What they wrote with something that's better no more disgraces Embrace this because I get deeper than space is Crushing heavy armor killing kids with Daedric Maces My fan base is, priceless like vases From ancient civilizations exquisite taste is Vanishing no traces could be found on pages Of what you wrote I kill it catching murder cases Hip-Hop displaces power then defaces The system, that's why they control it. Ruling Aces Trying and set the basis for psychologic phases (why?) they want your money so they stuff your brains in cages I wish I could express the importance of my quest If the nothing manifests only emptiness if left I won't rest until the greatest issue is addressed The point of life is not chicks with big fake breasts I swear to god I get depressed I get queezy in my chest When I think about the people that the demons have possessed I detest acting like a fool. I suggest That you open up your mind before you wind up like the rest Pretending that your fresh when your life is just a mess Drinking every night with two kids I'm not impressed If you depend on cess to alleviate your stress Then you need to take a couple steps back and re-access It's hard to write a verse that follows up on the first When you're trying to rhyme the whole entire thing I got this curse I can't disperse words without worth and I'm trying to find a positive way to impact the earth Plus I got this thirst that I just can't reverse I want to put the reputations of posers inside a hearse I guess that I'm the worst since I try to immerse Myself into a peaceful state of mind it never works I tend to go berserk then I try to subvert Their illegitimate agenda then put it into the dirt I exert infinite force just for a smirk Notice every time you challenge a battle the fakes dessert

about

As a nineteen year old I wrote and recorded this whole thing in my room on a $100 microphone. Rhythm and Poetry is not for sale, it's a free project that I created for practice. The beats were from songs that I'd grown up listening to and loving.
