[Verse 1]
Violence and I connected at the first glance
the motto’s fuck a 3rd strike was fighting at the first chance
Dancing with devil never in the stands
i was Demanding your respect but I was awkward like a third hand
The silly type, a life of a peace is what id really like
Wasnt in the burbs I was immersed up in the city life
There no respect for those who wouldn’t check a bully
You was fully getting wrecked and stolen off ..like a city bike
My role model was popping bottles and shooting shit
I had to prove myself so id give em hell with a brutal fist
rarely taking L’s excelled in all the foolish shit
I got expelled and kept rebelling with my hooligans
I never liked to talk, socially was barely there
afraid of conversing its perverse cuz I am rarely scared
Could stare at death, I was bold and love to take a risk
was slow to wanna talk but I was really quick to make a fist
[Hook cuts]
[Verse 2]
All through my 20s was sending up white supremacists
Bending pipes, and living trife, then was nice with penmanship
Taking a sip equipped me with the skill…
To kill a conversation impatient taking its benefits
but then it switched from friendship to enemy
Eventually I couldn’t chill unless im swilling endlessly
the fun was over I was sober hardly
I was feeling like a loser but when boozing I was Vince Lombardi
so fuck Bacardi I don’t party for shit (never)
when at the crib it gets the hardest to dip (straight up)
..Start up the whip and then ill park and just sit
fuck it.. Go back inside that was retarded as shit (haha)
back On the couch slouched listening to misfits
A quick fix when im sick of pulling this dick
if it skips, then ill prolly spit an ill flow
Yea I found some peace, but if its war know ill still go
[Hook-Cuts]
Outro:
my anxiety is social
Violent mind I rather fight than talk anti-social
for now I stay up in the house
I dont do either life is sweeter laying on my couch

Smoke and Mirrors

This just the way it be I am the shit creatively
My fans are slayers cuz the way they put their stake in me
Y’all really skipping steps; trying to go from A-Z
.These rappers fake they ain’t as great as they all pay to be
Paying for likes, yikes, that’s worse than pay to play to me
Afraid to be a small fish when really it’s ok to be
I go from A-B and think I outside the box
it’s 187 on any beat that I choose to rock
Ive took some punches from this game- like I used to box
Excuses not my cup of tea and I dont front on views I got
Don’t believe the lies ;ike its news from fox
they wouldnt have as many streams without the views from bots
.writing checks and then they hope it clears
No pride inside about their music til they open beers
I see the scams and laugh don't greet them with an open ear
dream sellers, fellas Don’t be jealous of the smoke and mirrors
[hook]
Who gives a fuck about the next man
Quit comparing and focus on what you got
Its all smoke and mirrors anyway
What you thought it was is often what its not
Who gives a fuck about the next man
Quit comparing and focus on what you got
Its all smoke and mirrors anyway
What you thought it was is often what its not
[Verse 2]
You’d rather have a thousand views over a million fakes.cuz reals fans accumulate into the bills you make
I will debate, it takes skill and not the will of flakes
But will is key and longevity will build your base
So put your money up in the right place
and never be afraid to fight, destroy anything that you might face
You might find you’re in a tight space
don't drown that’s bound to happen in any dream that you might chase
(yea) so dont be afraid of embarrassment
Stare the fear in the face and then beat it like you a fucking cop
to keep it brief know The thief of joy is comparison
Its stupid overlooking the couple fans that you got
So fuck deceit it can only lead to defeat, check it
I will keep slaying until the day that I fucking rot
Lies ill see through, to thine self ill be true
This message is for me too, untiI get to the top
[Hook]
Who gives a fuck about the next man
Quit comparing and focus on what you got
Its all smoke and mirrors anyway
What you thought it was is often what its not
Who gives a fuck about the next man
Quit comparing and focus on what you got
Its all smoke and mirrors anyway
What you thought it was is often what its not

Myth ft. Nems
02:30

They say don’t get clean cuz fiendin gonna keep you dope
Admit the facts you only saying that so y’all can cope
Your’e gonna stay broke im swollen with the focus
No this aint the final act, its silence before the thunderclap
And I aint judging but I still aint budging from the fact
The bars got colder when I bartered for my soul intact
I aint holding back my shit’ll make ya shoulders clap
And I aint ever folding hit the stands like I was holding bats
You can’t let fear ruin your life
for years I was scared to do what’s right
now I grab mics with the strength of 100 gorillas
And my confidence lets me know they’re ain’t no body iller
I chased the dragon and danced w the devil it all sucks
Now I got a new crib in my driveway there’s a new truck
They can talk but I dont give two fucks
Cuz when you been to the bottom can’t go nowhere but up..yup
this shit was meant to be, knew it’d happen eventually
Cuz Nems and me got bars locked like penitentiaries
And plus we both sober, no pills or popping E
And jails we only visit like we was winning monopoly
aint no anomales we shatter myths
and I no longer drink a fifth But I’ll still plead it I aint copping pleas
It aint no probably I’m sticking with it
and The past your always running from, its coming son you living with it
I thought id be at my lowest when I stopped getting high, that was a lie
now I write the illest shit when I don’t even try..
Its like my pen is on HGH
And I got a right hook that’ll break your face
You thought id get wack, if I took a step back
but f- that I’ll pull up where your rest at you’ll face your doom
Ill lay your body in vacant tomb
And I can get, more creative than you if you ate at an eighth of shrooms
You can’t stop what’s written this is gods plan
I done ran through more trees than Tarzan
And everybody knows that Nems got bars fam
The grind is on a billion and I got large bands
This got me tripping reminiscing with the pen I’m inking
Id probably still be doing stupid shit if I was drinking
Being a dick head and pissing off the balcony
Wait, I’m still a dick but I have Leveled up like alchemy

Embrace the Darkness
02:29

no body bags for my buddies laying in ditches
whiskey and cigarettes mesh to coat the scent of death
war is viscous im following foot steps, like
Who would envision id be the victim of family tradition
Wishing I never came - there’s only one to blame
its too late to run or try to hide Because what’s done is done
Matter a fact it has been done since they passed the gun
PTSD slowly turned ME - to the savage one
I feel like I am expiring,
some body pulling my strings like im a violin
the Stress is piling - up Ive had enough, im stuck
ive prayed to Jesus so now ill pray to leviathan
Exploring a baser place of me
Facing the facts, like maybe this aint the place for me
they say that war pays but after 84 days
i dropped ranks it left me shellshocked and gave me more grays
(Hook)
I lost faith watching life turn to carcass
I went insane seeing faces turning into targets
I disappeared and didn’t leave a trace
I turned about face and I embraced the darkness
I lost faith watching life turn to carcass
I went insane seeing faces turning intto targets
I disappeared and didn’t a leave trace
embrace the darkness
(Verse 2)
From heavy drinking to drugs, gambling, pillaging
my nights are filled with prostitutes and plenty cake
Losing myself while im searching for truth uselessly
I need help but destroying myself ruthlessly
Remained hellish life is pain and it was plain to me
A pain fetish I developed I grew angrily
I impressed leviathan in fact thats why he came to me
became plain to see I had been anchored by the weight of god
God is dead I pulled my head out from inside the leash
no more feeling guilt..as I embraced the beast
my humanity stricken quick and I came to be..
Known as the prince of pain, pope of hell, or hells priest
Became torturous sticking chains in your oriface
a demigod gore lord was the leader of four of us
No ignoring us love the pain I became immortal
forgot my origins summon me through a dark portal
(Hook)
I lost faith watching life turn to carcass
I went insane seeing faces turning into targets
I disappeared and didn’t leave a trace
I turned about face and I embraced the darkness
I lost faith watching life turn to carcass
I went insane seeing faces turning intto targets
I disappeared and didn’t a leave trace
embrace the darkness

Mask Up ft. G-Mo Skee
03:15

down From the bay up to the Windy City
Its like the zodiac attacking but who claps last? frank nitty
weve been defining what ravenous is
and Even though I bust quick im still the shit when hitting stank kitty
I been maneuvering getting through to the root of em
Who’d of knew id get through to em who’s the brutalist hoodlum ?
g-mo and nova we taking this over
like 80’s clockers who was cooking up coke with the soda
bury a snitch in to various ditches
viscous..Very nefarious -areas plagued with ebola
Rest in peace doom… the next will be soon
defeat you through your speakers the rest - can’t even reach through
I stay humble but im doper than a bundle sack
Front to back tracks classic like some thundercats
been called a skinny fag I never been a lumberjack
But one punch convert a back packer into mumble rap
(hook)
filth and dirt, dirt and filth get your mask up,
You don’t want no blood spilt so back up
covered our faces before the days of the virus
Dont try to fight us cuz there’s a rage up inside us
filth and dirt, dirt and filth get your mask up,
You don’t want no blood spilt so back up
covered our faces before the days of the virus
Dont try to fight us cuz there’s a rage up inside us

(Verse 2)
The year was 95 thats when I first had found rap
Gangstars paradise I heard it from the soundtrack
from..dangerous minds, shit I wasn’t even nine yet
I understood the words but didn’t understand the mind set
Calling my dad just to rap it to him
yea I thought it was the shit but the best I wouldn’t find yet
Next it was no limit Tupac and triple 6
Officially a fan although I wasn’t writing rhymes yet
And as a kid nothing made me feel iller..
then riding with my dad bass blasting with some real killers
i felt alive I know my mom was bugging
and if he dropped me off at school was feeling cool when I really wasn’t
thats what this rap shill do to you
Thats the vibe I try to find like anytime I’m the studio
A couple years passed I wasn’t really listening
to rap nothing really ever struck me like that first hit
until ‘bout 06 …thats when I got a burnt disc
i felt it once again when that tyrants first verse hit
I went From 3-6 to jamming to the pre-fix
for Death by necro, ill go to blows if the beef hits
In 2013 I started getting into this’
Started writing rhymes with my brother we were infamous
Me and my bro was really unknown but killing shit
was Opening for juggalos our mind state was militant
I took my own path I had to take a one way
If anyone would test- down for anything but gun play
..Wasn’t the type fam, cuz Nova and his hype man
the type to shut a show down on any given Sunday
Back in them young days we was known to punch face
At shows now I’m only punching clocks on my lunch break
I got a hunch maybe in my future one day
I’ll retire just to rap and never work a MOnday

We Night raiders I’m the truth so fuck a van damn
miami vice fresh out the can I bought a grand am
a Hired gun you better run, cuz it aint set to stun
all expenses paid and I aint buying flying pan am
Many missions made me more than just malicious
so sadistic im to blame for some of the goriest of war statistics
gores the business spilling guts but never get the glory
Shadow life we clandestine I see no reason I should risk it
Was born to kill, if you will im like a morning pill
I stop a problem ‘fore it ’s starts with bullets piercing through the chest
Been in the trenches from Nagasaki to pudabest
keep Enemies guessing, there’s not a question of who the best
Im Rocking aviators duck when the bazookas shoot
Flight jacket I dont need a mack to leave ya black and blue
action packed, clapping back im double fisted
This is 87 sending you to heaven for my revenue
[hook]
We Mercenaries selling our service at highest price
From GTA to wet work we some of the nicest
taking flights, sipping wine, sinuses of white
Regan era hired guns there aint nobody like us

You all could take a laxative and still.. wouldn’t be with the shits
get pistol whipped , if its disrespect then the fist’ll hit
Im a pacifist so ill pass a fist and fight any fuck
Seen many duck and hide as if this this fist it was a biscuit clip
Gimme a wrist to slit, ill slit it, that’s the gist of it
Bitch you know im viscous, snapped ya ribs it wasn’t just a bit
We went to battle had to pause right in the midst of it’
Amazed you played it safe but still afraid like you was risking it
I don’t believe in fate but lately I been feeling like
Every track I make enforce the fact that I exist to spit
i am convinced of it the rap game is stuck with me
feces flying at any faction who fuck with me
yo, and Im living life in metropolis,
home to the pickets of pockets home to the opposite
the Wild West from gun battles to robberies
some cops are in the pocket to live or die its the lottery
Dont get me vexed get you hexed like im in a coven
been nerdy since I was young But im thuggish so fuck a dozen
Been buzzing in underground .. circles rarely above em
I think that’s how it was meant to be, crowds will crown me eventually
Never content with my pen, edit extensively
Ascend in present day while You reminiscing on memories
Severing enemies any time that I spit
I will rip you right where you sit im the sickest fuck of this century

You all fucking with the wrong one
I could write a million hits before you even get a song done
The pen is busy it stays to the paper
I stay with the saber Jedi at heart but get darker than vader
Sharpen the blade and park it hard in the heart of a hater
love the fruit but I still savor the art of the labor
urgently working with focus level of surgery
Nova will take a track and attack it like an emergency
Watch me emerge cuz im coming up and im certainly
referring to myself in third person advertantly
I don’t deserve to be at the bottom forever
preferably how I grind id be at the center or maybe better
i'm literally writing in my sleep (that’s right)
even when i'm sleeping working subconsciously
i can’t perceive how you could beat that
and Every track I drop im like “mother fucker, eat that!”
But dont repeat that they say I gotta stay humble
I find it hard cuz i'm all ego when that bass rumble
every year I been dropping shit it aint shit to me
you think I aint been busy you wasn’t checking my history
i been prolific you actin as If it’s mystery
yall aint getting chicken my kitchen smell like rotisserie
(Hook)
Every year I been dropping shit it aint shit to me
you think I aint been busy you wasn’t checking my history
i been prolific you actin as If it’s mystery
yall aint getting chicken my kitchen smell like rotisserie
Every year I been dropping shit it aint shit to me
you think I aint been busy you wasn’t checking my history
i been prolific you actin as If it’s mystery
yall aint getting chicken my kitchen smell like rotisserie
(Verse 2)
Y’all unemployed and still be doing less
i'm working 40 a week and then shipping merch -to budapest
been grinding harder than independent and venture
this venture is independent ill hold my own with the best
I do confess I’m obsessive yea and I know it.
got many problems im hoping that I can overthrow it
Outgrow it I put the pain in the poetry
i know In many moments the anger has taken over me
Thats why I write so fucking hard its retarded
as an artist ive hardly started to peak
and I aint charted but hardly started to market
You want the shine but wont spend a dime cuz youre fucking cheap
Enjoy the benches I been at war in the trenches
Been fighting against myself and against the powers that be
I am relentless and always shoot for the fences
In a saturated market it's the only way you can be
(Hook)
Every year I been dropping shit it aint shit to me
you think I aint been busy you wasn’t checking my history
i been prolific you actin as If it’s mystery
yall aint getting chicken my kitchen smell like rotisserie
Every year I been dropping shit it aint shit to me
you think I aint been busy you wasn’t checking my history
i been prolific you actin as If it’s mystery
yall aint getting chicken my kitchen smell like rotisserie
