(Verse 1)
trying to step to me I see you as another fiend
imagine being blindfolded boxing butterbean
Results are similar I’m dangerous to foes
dressed in layers I will slay you til your dead then shed my bloody clothes
No body knows you like an enemy
dead the fake shit cuz some friends are not who they pretend be
descend with vengeance when I send my pen to battle
Rattle heads im too deceptive so they so question my identity
The most insidious, sinister when it comes to fists
a hundred hits hit your liver quicker than your gun can spit
im not the one to trip, bitch, im the one flip
shit, I hold my ground I hope you don’t get found up under it
I got the knife and biscuit, id risk my life for this shit
Fill a sock with rocks and knock you out bitch im a apocalyptic
I like to jot specific when I write, its kinda like
I do that shit just right, in spite because y’all rock too cryptic
Im trying to spit dope but most of yall dont notice
Im consistent with the wicked sick shit I never broke the focus
Trying to invoke hope? Nah im tryin to choke throats
Sometimes I spit to crickets but im as rare as a locust
I m not a snake but I spit venom
Ravenous I come for battle every single line
im trying to prove that im the truth
Im a savage in the street and im a killer in the booth
I m not a snake but I spit venom
Ravenous I come for battle every single line
..im trying to prove that im the truth
Im a savage in the street and im a killer in the booth
(Verse 2)
i got you freaking out like smokey when the dust hit
in competition with me you the focus of a snuff flick
So fucked man we bout to see the death of you
No honor better off committing sepuku
Better off getting impaled up on a samurai sword
lord have mercy, not a skeptic when my hammer fly
I wanna time travel back like I am McFly
to 96 rocking baggy pants like it was hammer time
id drop a track and know the shit be sounding futuristic
labels tryina pick me up and rob me cuz they so sadistic
i aint no dummy son I’m cunning like my name was bliskin
i aint signing shit I stick to spitting, just slip the disc in
my presence on a track is similar to thunderclap
when the 16 completed fiends will wonder where the thunder at?
rappers missing in my city, they got torn asunder
Antisocial never smoked a rock but find me under that
I m not a snake but I spit venom
Ravenous I come for battle every single line
im trying to prove that im the truth
Im a savage in the street and im a killer in the booth
I m not a snake but I spit venom
Ravenous I come for battle every single line
..im trying to prove that im the truth
Im a savage in the street and im a killer in the booth

Battle Plague

(Verse 1)
Im rockin camo, got a Glock and ammo
Im a known vet, I bet you’ll regret, starting this battle here
friends and foes are dying crying beside us
The smell is like gingivitis the floor is covered in bloody tears
ill grab a musket and stab a fucker im savage
Im ravaging troops shooting from roof tops we broke the truce
I heard his hooves move, I slid up on this dude smooth
said never mind the shotty, fam, then got him with a deuce deuce
Brain rattled from the ricochet, im felling pumped up as fuck
From the bump I cut from the brick of yay
you just an actor matter of fact - you nick lachey
So drop the mic, we firefight with sticks so put the fist away
Shooting ops like paparazzi
shooting ops like our grand pops would do back in the day when they were popping nazis
Rip the swazi from the shoulder cuff then fold em up
Bold as fuck they’d put em in the dirt after they robbed the body
Your background in karate it doesn’t matter
cuz anybody could splatter your bladder across the pavement
Helmet strapped got ammo stocked in my rucksack
they sending shots but my pocket rocket will fucking buck back
[Scratch hook by D-Rec]
(Verse 2)
reborn from fire, you fuckers need to retire
cuz the beast that I’ve been turned in to could kill a fucking yeti
Swing a maze got razorblades and machetes
Whatever happens I’m ready, no chill, I feel my words could kill
murdering henchmen, I got my teeth clenched In
Holding grenade pins, sinning, looking for vengeance
Im the trenches. serving a sentence,
Demented beings, im fleeing the scene with my co-defendants
Not co-dependent but when it comes to this art
you know the saying is true that the sum greater than its parts
The war Is on and I am a soldier,
bolder than most of the other soldiers,
im known for throwing a quick dart
ill rip apart any goon of the opposition
The mission of my platoon is the crush em right at the start (blah)
Y’all got no heart, yet still I feel im a spill ‘em
ive been banned from bars, cuz the owners heard that I kill em
[hook]
(Verse 3)
Im in a tank w a flak jacket blasting at ya
Gave the call to kill em all they shooting fools im pulling rank
Im like a landlord deep within a sandstorm
The Enemies about to get evicted cuz we got em flanked
Medic needed we proceeded with a lot of dead bodies
leave em rotting some were disconnected from the head
Tears shedding from the visions ‘fore I went to bed
Awaken from a nightmare fuckers know I do not fight
fair Enough we ran out of ammo and so we squaring up
im nasty with the fists, bitch, so im a tear em up
I stayed offensive and led cadet to his death
He tried to counter attack which led to snapping his fucking neck
And now im shellshocked, wrecked, but I collect a check
Harley riding, chilling, but still thinking of killing Charlie
Shit was gnarly I was a killa for rilla
yall fellas owe me a debt Im a Vet in a rap army

In Darkness Reborn

face Disheveled I would revel in a bottle
I was leveled mind got beveled from the swelling when I fell
Drowned for 3 years, in misery and hell
It's Hard to tell who you can trust after you suffer from a dark betrayal,
narrative changing from my everyday belligerence
i used to have respect but then got better known for ignorance,
lack of innocence was shifting to the villain
this can happen when u spend to many minutes living as the victim,
When you depict em as all evil then they all are equal,
find you self surrounded by the snakes wearing the skin of people
Magnetized by the pain discovered deep
Within your eyes and now your judged on the company in which you keep
Had to decapitate the snakes, had to shed my face
before it binded tightly to the person hidden underneath
Pain became me, it was plain for me to see
I after stared at the abyss then the abyss started to stare at me
(Hook)
Embrace the darkness but dont wallow in it long,
I know your lost but you can find your way within the fog
This aint a game played cuz some they never come back
they met their fate when it was too late to run back
Embrace the darkness but dont wallow in it long,
you gotta leave the dark so you can start to right your wrong
This aint a game played cuz some they never come back
i came around thats when I found that I was twice as strong
(Verse 2)
In order to rise i had to fall first..
rest in peace to my deceased self In hell who do you call first?
its been a year sober, I shifted gears over
I was scared to lose, I had to choose, and now the fears over
I still romanticize the past every now and then
legends told by my family and all my friends
I’ll think of going back but I aint fucking dumb
You miss the person that I was, embrace the person that I have become
Sharper, slicker, running faster, thinking quicker
know my darts are hitting harder came to see I never needed liquor
I Used to be sick too but now im sicker
and Im comfortable in my own skin and yea that skins thicker
Id have figured that some people would have bounced on me
but im astounded cuz my people stayed surrounding me
a couple doubted me, aint tripping, cuz im proud to be
better, never sweating, it was self-doubt undoubtedly
(Hook)
Embrace the darkness but dont wallow in it long,
I know your lost but you can find your way within the fog
This aint a game played cuz some they never come back
they met their fate when it was too late to run back
Embrace the darkness but dont wallow in it long,
you gotta leave the dark so you can start to right your wrong
This aint a game played cuz some they never come back
i came around thats when I found that I was twice as strong

(Verse 1)
The demon killer all thrill no filler I lay it down
(Yea) ill slay a king and they’ll wear his crown
Your body quivers when I deliver this wicked shit
Ill rip apart a vic if we beefing cuz im carnivorous
Im ready to show you fucks how im deadly
with steady hands the plan is to damage you with a rusty machete
Enemies deaded they dreading me cuz incredibly
every line that I write I be putting heads in a pedigree
next to me you looking like a rookie (wack as fuck)
im rising steadily only legends head of me
You Aint forgetting me anytime that I rhyme
A single line willl fuck up your mind, ill spit it double time
Ready to slice you at anytime im divisive
With no.. gun or a knife im the nicest hate me like isis
you know its murder when facing off the fists
too lazy to slay ya playa, ill force ya to slit ya fucking wrists, bitch
(Verse 2)
The way i'm spitting it should be illegal
My 16s will melt steal beams and kill a bald eagle
Feeble fuckers feeling false cuz they’re inferior
My wordplay is cold and know my flow is so superior
Stoic exterior, and iron lungs
Theres a Fire in my eyes i'm looking geeked like im high on drugs
Lazer focus like a clerk when she’s eyeing thugs
Mine are on the prize and ima shine like orion does
Rap assassin massive vocab gets thrown in action
Hope is over for the most of those opposing factions
In the fraction of the time that u can script a line
I could whip a 32 and spit at you in double time
I got a couple lines so subtle but they'll fuck your mind
You'll hear em spit holy shit you can say goodnight
Im here to talk shit and make u wanna fight
See the opp across the block n make u wanna swing on sight

(Verse 1) Termanology
*****
(Hook)
Bars are murderous, beats extreme
Im a fiend for the rugged shit no one fucking these;
Poetic deaths, im killing yall with a fervor
y'all so pathetic Im copacetic with murder
Bars are murderous, beats extreme
Im a fiend for the rugged shit no one fucking these;
Poetic deaths, im killing yall with a fervor
y'all so pathetic Im copacetic with murder
(Verse 2) Novatore
Head decapitator sever it and bag for later
Savage with the raps, sad but you an aggravator
Average at best, test me you’’ll get bested
You a bird up in a marsh and I’m a mother fucking alligator
if I get it agitated, maggot, I might throw a fit
And have you posers steady slow roasting over an open pit
A Double dose of fists i've battled with two broken wrists
I kept a poker face so my opponents never noticed it
my records instigate tectonic plates to shift
spaceships drift into black holes and faces twist
a Juggernaut, I’ll uncover a subtle plot
no love for cops so when the state got me know I take the 5th
I used to face a fifth of vodka, get enraged as shit
I never blazed an eighth I did some yay and I’m okay with it
and I aint famous but I’ve got a little taste of it
im Ed Gein obscene I wear your skin cuz you a waste of it
(Hook)
Bars are murderous, beats extreme
Im a fiend for the rugged shit no one fucking these;
Poetic deaths, im killing yall with a fervor
y'all so pathetic Im copacetic with murder
Bars are murderous, beats extreme
Im a fiend for the rugged shit no one fucking these;
Poetic deaths, im killing yall with a fervor
y'all so pathetic Im copacetic with murder

(Verse 1) Novatore X Moecyrus
i came to kill with moe…our flows are villanous
Gorillas when we mix we spray clips like trained killers
deadly venomous stealth mode and we cut throat
Most you wouldn’t know azthmatix comin up though
I like to raise the stakes like Im a cattle farmer
Broke onto the scene im cutting locks like im a fucking barber
I’m the harder version of your favorite rapper
Hes a geriatric’s cock I’m like that cock after he popped viagra
And when ya dicks hard, you know its time to fuck
Knock the dust off the earth volcanic rap erupt
I seen a whole lot of fraudulent mistaken for intelligence
got no time for mixed messages, yo you feeling this?
I Spit descriptively, so sick when ripping beats
scenes depicted those opposed will turn to history
Tongue sharper than a saber, shining like a raver
Capers pulled, the mastermind it still remains a mystery
Sherlock Holmes type of shit im being magnified
Truth has a double sided meaning like youre telling lies
Im being occupied whether time will keep me here
existing is a choice kicking back living through the fear
you corny fucks adore the top 40
I got a 40 ready to pop you in your mop you not a hot shot
I hope your stock drop you sounding like you got shot
up in the mouth, I got u frustrated like a cock block
kick rocks punk who you telling how to act mane?
Cocaine bout to get u slumped like a back pain
benefitting nothing off your everyday entitlement
The title went to us like the clockers when the crack came
Shots fired double buck spewing through the airwaves
Ill be shooting back while you’re hiding in the staircase
Catch me while you can Im way ahead and yeah I got this
Obnoxious my stocks hits the top when the god spits
I speak the gospel but to some its esoteric shit
Nit pick the kin folk people who im fuckin with
youll kick the bucket quick When I spit the rugged shit
Its ruckus when we double up the struggle or the thuggish shit
verse killa, gorilla press a gorilla
Im still the realist of villains im ill and chill with bizarre people
methods on this transverse poetry in motion scene
Oxidize the stench of death crumbling some magazines
Like rotted rats molded up that’s decomposing
Al capone bounty hunter got these bodies floating
Butterfly effect I am referenced as a phenom
some people call me nuts but im more than that im pecan
I keep it blunt as shit, never running from punishment..
and I don’t politic, brollic, yall will just follow shit..
I got some ethics but yall would prolly all swallow shit
ill make you dig a grave and then toss you all in the hollow pit
This is more than bars buddy me and louie here to educate
graduated fast track slap when we collaborate
Those who all oppose aint shit to begin with
We veterans no better medicine because we been sick

(Hook)
Nothing is as fair as friend
but friends are always changing
(Verse 1)
My back got stabbed up fast one knife then another
by another mother fucker I treated like brother
40 bucks in my pocket was 20 bucks a piece
but over 200 bucks I got ducked for weeks
not to mention you’re liar and a thief
I caught you stealing an wasn’t feeling they way you would lie through your teeth
Stories got holes thats deeper than Chicago Streets..
I think you stole more too - but don't got no receipts
I dont got no proof but I homie I dont need it
Cuz you know what’s bad enough?
the simple fact that I would even believe it
that aint no fucking friend, I wonder if you’ve ever been
We had a lot of laughs but the fact is you stabbed me in the back
I think it's funny and ironic youre a klepto
fingers so sticky yet you still managed to let go of this friendship
bitch I didn't end shit
You tried to make amends but it’s dead cuz I said so
(Hook)
Nothing is as fair as friend
but friends are always changing
(Verse 2)
At the funeral saying by to my dead self
I wondered if I would miss that life and I do
Suicide for the guy who died and its true
That I have taken a life, but the life I’ve taken it was through
Dead like Elvis now they feeling ive changed
I Never pick up the phone and im like a crab or a shell fish
The truth is brutal im never chilling with you
The only time that we clicked’s when I was swilling with you
Its pretty blatant that we was only relating
to misery and a drink dont think im judging or even hating
I aint better than anyone but my self
the older version of nova was decomposing in my own hell
But I regress I know its time to part
I think its time to start drifting away you’ll stay in my mind and heart
They’ll say you changed and yea, maybe its true
But I changed for the best fuck what the rest are thinking of you
(Hook)
Nothing is as fair as friend
but friends are always changing

(Verse 1) Novatore
Dark desires got me wanting murder
Hearing stories of the opps my pops dropped it pushed it further
Could I truly pursue it? I know the answers yes
I took some steps, close, morose, but never hoped for death
blunt objects, violent like the projects
i used to want to prove myself, when just a prospect
started off ass knuckles and bloody blows
know I love to watch the legs get buckled from brutal bows
Every since I got my ass kicked as a kid
I used to pray one day they’d all be laid up in a casket
I knew when I got older I’d be a fuckin soldier
Folding fuckers just for nothing had a chip up on my shoulder
I strayed from death mostly serving those deserved
Tried to stand up for what’s right even when my life had gotten colder
Tried to put the rage in places it could fit
I could also be a prick but that mostly when I wasn’t sober
I know they got a folder somewhere in the system
that says i'm prone to violence but Ive chilled a little since im older
Still I will snap, if needed , history repeated
Beating on ya senseless, hold a strap when i'm an old defenseless
(Hook)
I keep the beast up on a leash
I Keep the lion in its cage, there’s a rage in me deep beneath
They wanna bring it back….they wanna bring it back..
I keep the beast up on a leash
I Keep the lion in its cage, there’s a rage in me deep beneath
..they wanna bring it back..
There’s a demon resting in me try and test it he might need to feast
(Verse 2) Tha God Fahim

(Hook)
I keep the beast up on a leash
I Keep the lion in its cage, there’s a rage in me deep beneath
They wanna bring it back….they wanna bring it back..
I keep the beast up on a leash

..they wanna bring it back..

I been sober bout a year and know I’m proud to be
this shit aint easy so its frustrates undoubtedly
When people claim that they are sober but their found to be
A lying junkie crying for attention you were bound to be exposed
for the fraud you are like a dude In AA getting drunk at the fucking bar
ok you say your clean but you’re a fiend again
showing off your lady on the gram and she’s a teen again
(yea) it didn’t last you and her
she prolly left you cuz she knew that you were immature
And that’s just sad, cuz your old enough to be her dad
I’m bout to son you, willing out until my child mad
We rocked the same beat you wasn’t in my league
I knocked my shit up out the park I hope you catch it in the fucking street
But that’s expected no fronting
you can’t hit a home run son when you’re bunting
stop the joking, get the coffins and the hearses
Ima focus on the purpose of these sad child verses
You and Ronald Macdonald made a fucking wack
record talking racist in a subculture made in factby working class blacks I’m pissed off at the fact Tom is eating off the backs of the same people that he slap in the face when he says he “never owned a slave”
or how he never “put no neck in a noose”
as If racism died back when slavery ended
when present day you say some shit to defend it
Talking about illegal aliens
Xenophobic sympathy your shits is so offensive
Spent too many years fighting white supremacy
To see a white rapper talking shit while he pretends to be oppressed
As if he was the minority
Show up to their shows and you would see that the majority are white
holy shit you can’t afford to be blind in a time when blacks are killed by the authority
I think its time to say goodnight to the right wing bigots who have got such a hard life cuz the internet dont like em
What a tough break I’m do this shit just to spite em
Tom Macdonald Madchild you been identified
As two corny dudes helping rap get gentrified
Hip hop has been the voice of the oppressed
but dont equate oppression to the fact that you are so depressed
(Haha) Throw this trash in the landfill. Or 6 feet beneath cuz I'm dropping an anvil That can kill
On this short little Goblin and stringy hair sidekick. I got this. No problem.
Madchild get the tats up off your face
get a job, leave rap, quit the statutory rape
you stay so high it got me feeling like you’ll never land
Im spazzing on this beat no hook like I’m Peter Pan
Im a visionary, looking at ur pics is scary
Madchilds face can be found in a dictionary
mine can be found next to “murder” cuz this track
And his can be found under R next to “Relapse”
Your music sucks so much dick it needs knee pads
this beat slaps could have killed it with 3 jabs
"And even though I’m dope as barrels full of coke and heroine
I’m happy being clean and flying straighter than an arrow is!"
your voice sounding like the rap game skeletor
Soft as my balls why you looking like a felon for?
There’s 2 men down, ima put the pen down
Aint a afraid of nothin mother fucker cuz I been down
got a problem write back or come see me
Obnoxious when boxing fuck pricks up like VD

[Scratch hook by D-Rec]
(Verse 1)
I am a savage partially because the place I’m from
since I was young I knew the truth; you could get marked here
Put it in first gear hit the gas and start run
You’re home town hero’s only as tough as any nerd here
Devious city one of the most rude its documented
there aint no reason to arrest you so the cops invent it
And when the suns out they'll have them guns out
these kids will spit ya wig and pull the trigger til it runs out
.and transplants never last because they can’t stand The heat
They gotta leave the kitchen - partied til the funs out
Thought they needed change that’s why they hit the windy
Big city living looked appealing til it dropped 50
Fingers frozen, car tickets paying fat taxes
Roads got pot holes and heard you might’a got your ass kicked
Up in traffic for a half an hour..
coward ass will prolly get devoured cracking like you plastic
[Scratch hook by D-Rec]
Grew up by 63rd I used to be a nerd
Shout out to CPS for teaching Louie how to fight
Day and night riding the CTA
like GTA the CPD will kill you, never mind your rights
Where I was from it was TSN
crowns down and bunnies up, and never give a fuck who you offend
my friend Ben was the first friend who met his end
kings killed him with a bullet they just pull and send
Get lost in some hoods we know you leaving in a hurry
Since 91’ no one not rocking a bulls jersey
Anywhere you be you'd be seeing 23
and Wicker park on PBR like it was sunny D
any food desired you can find in any hood
from eating good I got a tire like a Michelin
i fucking love this city never plan to leave again
if you don't like it you can dip back to Michigan
[Scratch hook by D-Rec]
we go Homeless people chilling with a bottle
out in Tent city looking shitty at ya trying to get a buck
No other city got bravado like Chicago
You live or die it don't matter got less compassion than Ivan Drago
I’ll rock a sox hat but I could give a fuck less
About the team just repping south side like i'm obsessed
Shovel a spot up on my block and then ill place a crate
to save the spot, and if you move It , then your face ill desecrate
Pigs investigate a murder every minute
see the murder rate increase and to the peace I am a cynic
but i'm alive and I was taught how to survive
By a tough city you might come to love it once you’re in it

(Hook)
from midwest to the west coast we braggadocious
know we the dopest even though this road can feel hopeless
don't lose your focus cuz homie, Ill I know we got this
I legitimately love to spit regardless of whats in my pockets
(Verse 2) Novatore
You stay befuddled when we mutter out these lullaby’s
Whether its abrasive or it subtle you’ll get butterflies
When brung together we will sever anyone who fronts
There’s never been a better bunch well punch you in your fucking eyes
Brutal barbarians burying prideful arians
Hitler youth get removed thru the stomach, that’s a cesarean
carrying heat when we speak leaders get toppled
and we spitting hostile my roster will fuck you up like a brothel
dead or alive in your top 5 -you missed a few
that’s ill and nova we killing shit like a pistol do
The viscous two, spit a missile if we pissed at you
Ripped in two consistently insipid stick a fist in you
Stand back while we ransack these damn tracks
By email it’s anthrax and stans up in the stands clap
Haters clap after I’m rapping too but with their shoulders
Chest shots ‘ll fold ya say you're popping where’s ya fans at?
They say i'm nasty yet they ask if they can bang me
and these people try to blame for the things I did when I was angry
I know i'm sick but maybe you’ll thank me
When I spray my shit all over the walls like I was Banksy
(Hook)
from midwest to the west coast we braggadocious
know we the dopest even though this road can feel hopeless
don't lose your focus cuz homie, Ill I know we got this
I legitimately love to spit regardless of whats in my pockets
from midwest to the west coast we braggadocious
know we the dopest even though this road can feel hopeless
don't lose your focus cuz homie, Ill I know we got this
I legitimately love to spit regardless of the fucking profits
