Novatore This game is heinous. and still I’ll play it to the name is famous Invested change the only thing I’ve gained is pain and anguish I came to banquet, anything I want I claim and vanquish all these lames with Narcolepsy sleeping make em stain the blanket Yea , Cuz its a wet dream when you think of Nova Miss you with the fists you get pneumonia when you blink it’s over There aint no biting on the mic you might just think its Hova Writing for me nova’s been a problem since the brink of sober I couldnt face my fears without a case of beer and now I take my fears and place em in your ear A Lot of wasted years but now im here And its clear im killing lyricists as quick as they appear I drop jewels like I’m an epileptic klepto A couple left but then yall slept and so I kept those I’ll put you in your coffin fit, I ain’t talking strep throat Agorophobic, if you see me hanging then my necks broke I Leave you addicts tweaking ike a meth dose this wet work got yall retreating with a breast stroke welcome to my show I make the best host When I retire no survivor left like I was Jeff probst Leave ya deceased make ya widows peak like im Dracula Savage when I attack ima aim this gat at the back of ya Praying to Jesus but all you see is the Triple 6 Quadruple homicide on the news and thats when the ripple hits kibbles and bits im moving dog food comes get your fix I cripple kids then wipe the prints up off the pistol grip And pain is coming like a sadist when the nipple twist So shut your mouth and listen death to anyone who misses it RJ Payne Now I got all sort of flavors of raw behavior And I brought a razor to torture haters for corporate paper Co-ordinator, I brig people together, my aura greater More than major, two hammers both busting like Schwarzenegger I put in work on the court this is Jordan labor Life is cheap this type of heat - could turn you to water vapor Automator, shit, my brain a computer at storing date Caribbean fan base I could probably tour Grenada Rapper said my name in his bars and I caught him later Im punching so fucking hard that you probably thought of Jada Bullet buffet and I properly bought a waiter So I’m serving everybody this shotty do more than cater Broken glass hear the bottles get thrown Im in touch with a higher power I get god on the phone Ill put the hammer to your mouth til you swallow the chrome We either standing in your house or we follow you home

Verse 1 Im never stalling see the vision then I get to work Everyday we dying always focused its a gift and curse Procrastinating now its only getting worse Imagine being stagnant til your bodies lying stiff in dirt thats why I never listened to the bullshit procrastinators always got a lot to say I Might have been impatient but Ive done a lot cool shit If you aint doing nothing get the fuck up out my fucking way Mistakes’ll make you great - you gotta make your fate I thought I had date with death but told the bitch that she can wait so lazy fucker what’s the lesson for? trying to preach to me and ask me what im stressing for Stressed for death and trying to win it while im still here Even when I sit my gears are spinning like a wheelchair bitch I’ll Hit you with a steel chair Patience is a must but really you just standing still there Hook: the ones who told me wait never did shit Shoot first then later ask for forgiveness The perfect time never comes thats a myth Since 26 I been a menace now it benefits the ones who told me wait never did shit Shoot first then later ask for forgiveness The perfect time never comes thats a myth Since 26 I been a menace now it benefits Verse 2 just dive on in and go to fuckin war was doin lots of wild shit before I formed to Novatore before I learned to rap or ever turned to murder rap I toured in bands was always fighting so I learned to scrap was never gods gift to nothing really Working twice is hard is how I got to be a boss and waiting til your great is pretty fucking silly How you gonna conquer when you never really suffered loss Sometimes perfection is the enemy of growth sometimes reflection on your failure’s how you grow the most and I aint really shit so I dont mean to boast proud I sacrificed a lot - for shit that really means the most wont’ be no stopping til the day I croak If I aint the focus then ill play the host I won’t be found deceased until im named the goat The Naysayers try to tame the beast but never claim the gold feel like they never really had the passion Or maybe fear just held em back so I surpassed em a lot of big ideas - little action And it never came from hate so I aint mad just looking back laughing Hook: the ones who told me wait never did shit Shoot first then later ask for forgiveness The perfect time never comes thats a myth since 26 I been addicted to this business the ones who told me wait never did shit Shoot first then later ask for forgiveness The perfect time never comes thats a myth since 26 I been addicted to this business

Black Magic 03:44
Verse 1 I was doing devious and silly shit used to pop the pills out in the field you could really hit In 2013 I almost caught a clip I mean legit, the bullets whistling went home a drank a fucking fifth We was wild rocking shows on adderal and geeking 20-20 in my liver down to fight Was always broke but had it all and partied every weekend Fuck the weekend we was popping Molly almost every night Invested cash but My craft it wasn’t there yet, my style not developed no one cared yet I was Pulling out my hair like it aint fair I was focused on the verse but still my purpose wasn’t clear yet Thats when my ex lady was cheating on me and I was doing shady shit myself I was Feeling like a failure why they sleeping on me ? Body getting fat from pulling bottles off the top shelf Hook: Its Black Magic - how I formed into gold I leveled up from base metal never selling my soul Its Black Magic - How I formed into gold I leveled up from base metal now my story is told Its Black Magic - how I formed into gold I leveled up from base metal never selling my soul Its Black Magic - How I formed into gold I leveled up from base metal now my story is told Verse 2: Ive got control of my craft and I got patience now Laser focus I was in a coma but ive woken now I Passed the bottle off and cut it with the snow Assessed the dramas in my life and then decided on what had to go My Vision clear as im getting nearer to what im chasing The shit im facing it’s only bringing me motivation Alcoholic to workaholic ive always been But now with no distractions im growing faster - and going in (Yea) I dont do nothing that I shouldn’t do Ive done a lot of shit that if my mind was right I wouldn’t do (Like what?) like who the fuck I stuck my wood into? Dont make stick my foot in you, there’s nothing that I couldn’t do And I aint claiming that im perfect now Matter of fact when at my worst ill be the first to doubt I still get down but know that up’s the only place to go I’ve got a lot of rage but everyday I just embrace the growth Hook: Its Black Magic - how I formed into gold I leveled up from base metal never selling my soul Its Black Magic - How I formed into gold I leveled up from base metal now my story is told Its Black Magic - how I formed into gold I leveled up from base metal never selling my soul Its Black Magic - How I formed into gold I leveled up from base metal now my story is told

Novatore: My trigger discipline was missing so ive did some shit Somebody snitching , so they had to come arrest me he was my right hand, right up until he left me guess im dyslexic but I kept the tech up by the chest piece it aint the first time that I been wrong might be the last I take my pain then place it in the song and when I leave just know the best is gone Vest is on, ready to blow the tech up in this restaurant all these suit and ties getting euthanized Murder suicide assuming ill be scrutinized Won’t be sitting in a cell and I refuse to fry ill take my life before they rob me of human side Back to the wall, options thin, im losing oxygen Claustrophobic stuck inside this box im in I didn’t feel the shot I only heard the pop I woke up in the hospital to cops they bout to lock me in hopped out the window at trial Cops they whopped my ass when they caught me lacking half a mile The gave me triple life I smiled and just took it Cuz the same day they gave me life’s the same day I went at took it

Novatore: They holding heavy metal - until they slip the knot Enemies heads’ll get severed like it was Ichabod And they dont give a fuck if you rich or not Mercenaries hold a kid for ransom then go kill a cop They ever catch em the gon’ fill em up with Kilowatts families try to find the missing bodies but they still gon’ rot Nothing brings them back but still they trying to find peace The only piece they’ll find is body parts left on Devon street Whos the blame for this sick twisted psychopathy? Their rap sheet stacked deeper than my discography They went from doing robberies to catching bodies And the shot got more horrific like - the homicide was just a hobby Ugh. cause its a dark world we living in the feds are fishing for rats - nobodies giving in The felons feel the phone is tapped somebodies listening the shit been quiet but they know these kids got’ sin again

Intro Hook: My name is Swann and ive been haunted by the devil himself I Left him than I parted with wealth I know I killed him but he’s mad that he was left on the shelf And now he wants a part of myself My name is Swann and ive been haunted by the devil himself I Left him than I parted with wealth I know I killed him but he’s mad that he was left on the shelf And now he wants a part of myself Verse 1: I have returned to kill the Puritan I once was loyal to this narcissistic dark magician His name is nix im risking death this was a hard decision a nervous wreck a pounding heart As I embark the mission Approached the compound with couple of my former members A captive child in the corner trapped with cuffs I went to free her but behind me crept the The source of havoc He Dug his hands into my brain as I absorbed the magic Was always telling us that flesh was a prison now he’s Messed with my vision and says its flesh but through a gods eyes (Ugh)But I survived and I did not die The trick Was all for nothing cause with darkness I did not side Nah, it was a pointless attack And When he locked his focus on me, then his prisoner shot him in his back and through his heart - that’s with my own own gun Then I Strapped him in an iron mask and now the bastard’s dead and done Hook: My name is Swann and ive been haunted by the devil himself I Left him than I parted with wealth I know I killed him but he’s mad that he was left on the shelf And now he wants a part of myself My name is Swann and ive been haunted by the devil himself I Left him than I parted with wealth I know I killed him but he’s mad that he was left on the shelf And now he wants a part of myself Verse 2: A decade later off the gift im doing shows in Vegas Its just illusion far from broke because the shows contagious My wife’s the kid I freed from capture, felt she owed a favor She didnt owe me shit regardless she still made me take her And now another night of Magic’s turned to something tragic I could not escape the shackles daggers started stabbing and I can hear the panic from the crowd reacting Died upon the stage I disappeared this time nobodies clapping Detective on me he’s suspecting that my death was faked Like its deception and im faking that ive met my fate And thats a fact I faked my death, he said “I rest my case” My resting place is really vacant still got breathes to take Pretend to end it cuz Im knowing that id serve a sentence Revenge was coming I was running from a hefty penance Nix awoken from his slumber by his peasants felt my presence cuz as long as im alive my soul is ever-present He killed his loyalists and told em that they weren’t worthy As Half their bodies lay ensnared beneath the dirt He tried to bring me to the darkness so wed share the curse He told me that The grave is lonely- but this life is worse We went to war , blows delivered back and forth Try to close the chapter can’t allow this scum to pass the torch I took my final breath then struck again with magic As my bones disintegrate to dust I sent him back into the chasm

Verse 1: I ain’t with the fun and games I been doing this for years and now I’m coming for your change I come to gain and so im gunning for your chains, And I dont care if you play dumb I still will summon the deranged These rookie rappers capping acting like their feature worthy I dont need a feature shit so grimey leave ya speakers dirty Haters in the bleachers seats ..I only speak through beats Im Aiming this Beretta getting better while you peak at 30 assassinate any space that you place me at This aint a race I can spit it at any pace we at The bpm a factor, we can keep the tempo faster Mediocre men descend to trash amongst the fucking master Tried to hold ya own and got ya back broke When im on the track it aint no cap its only facts spoke im given back hope to those who feel oppressed I feel obsessed, a Heathen breathing fire like some crack smoke [Hook - Twenty] Verse 2 The way I spit its like im battling an apparition My numbers growing thats a fact dont need a mathematician Simple addition’ll show it your shit aint adding up Sorry about your luck but the records showing you wack as fuck (yea) get on your knees begin to pray to me a demigod on the stage and im aging gracefully If You playing after me; please display the savagery Ill Leave You looking average if its anything but mastery Cuz This is military grade missiles coming at ya Just say my name in the mirror thrice and I’ll come and snatch ya This aint no back back rap homie we body bagging Bruce lee karate action, that or point the shotty at em Just Lemme at em like im scrappy in the Scooby show Goofy looking still would kill a pirate like im Rufio Nobody know me just the homie that you used to know I only know my home, my work life and then the studio
