just another one of god’s little building blocks i guess do my best to bail out my chest, my back to bake your progress i can only guess what i might be when i grow up maybe saturate the earth if me and oxygen hook up maybe fuel a rocket ship so that kids can learn to dream got fire in my bones and so i’m prone to blow off steam i’m the breath of the sun, from its lung to far flung got isotopes to poke fun and compounds to become but wait, what have you done? feel the burn that overcomes in the plume of my cloud; death to bloom so well endowed just to shake the earth apart you plan to make my heart to break scorch the earth and burn my memory with the lives you made me take coz i’m hydrogen, heaven or hell within my walls hold my breath and seek peace each time humanity calls and you can call it elementary blend with symmetry periodically we all come together like it was meant to be [listener] through the pressure, i take what you give me and create diamonds shining when the smoke clears from all the violence choking out life when it’s begging with arms open sneaking out lungs suffocating without holding punishing brain cells when i speak my straight prose say how i’m taking o2’s innocence as i boast rain on the aftermath like cold wind in the desert to send chemical baths starting your growth spurt drafting out plans to deliver the right reason stifling life and changing with all seasons i’ll be the carbon copy, graphite and on paper crystallizing oxygen that burns into vapor [manchild] yo, my very presence is a beacon speaking through the dark hearkening hardened hearts and those so far apart to step inside and my reason for being is just to shine bright, and that’s my right but evil men confine me to bar signs and steal my limelight so many find sight beneath my reds, blues and greens love, brawls, crime-scenes amongst the many things that i’ve seen when i’m large on broadway, main attraction type of program my trance will pacify and catch your eyes like butterflies wonder why under my glow all the hookers look so pretty yo i guess all the time they sit with me from here to sin city i see past them as they please on the street corners where they work i illuminate so bright, i see they souls and they hurt i seen adulterous affairs in all the motels where i work i might burst into tears if i don’t die laughing first my name is neon; i glow, i flash, i dim, i flicker i hypnotize the world with some words in a picture [freddie bruno] the dark matter that can’t be created or destroyed existed when time began as a pointless void at the ignition of gunpowder i become airborne and reconfigure anatomy like i was liz claiborne a non-malleable metal that covers your date i’m the impeccable toxin on your china in place i’ve been a prisoners accessory from armory to weaponry paperweight to deadweight to keys to treasuries i’m a guide to magnetism, a basis for stationary a library of rudimentary sound queries profound theories and my series of relevance seated at the table of periodic elements [playdough] from outskirts of outbursts before shouts burst you must intake what’s emitted from the plants and the trees me, i’ve been around and pounded by the lung responsible for breath control on songs sung the final exhale for the lives that diminish to the last push on christ’s words when it was finished from obscure to the obvious i obtained and occupy this whole sky my oh my i fly, but offhand it’s odd i could sink the mighty men, me and hydrogen make it official we combine for the ocean and i send the oscillating breeze so please i outlast and outshine while you’re outlined in some chalk i just walk through orbit, the rest of them forfeit i’m outward searching for some lungs for courtship so you could abort ship and scorch it then i most enjoy when hearts overflow, coz i supply the fuel for songs to overthrow the flesh we override, it’s best to coincide with the one who that you, so we flow through with o2 hook [x4]: [and] you can call it elementary blend with symmetry periodically we all come together like it was meant to be |

well if i'm first i might as well make this verse something you want t listen to, maybe give you a visual of light illumination for dark times, i'm able just to walk with loneliness mic sparking, clashing, so to be smashing out these deep flows paying dues is often the cost for a professional, i'm exceptional when i send thoughts into soldier type fashion march to a hidden part of the pen splashing out onto the page, words drop in brigades non-stop brain waves 24-7 shine or rain, i stay repping to hold down this black ink, more effective than oppression i'm letting out loud screams i'm hearing these ghost writers on the scene invisible to the rest but i know who they possess control your text before your mouth starts rhyming sintax, listener, sev, we're joywriting. hook: we're going joywriting as we rhyme across the map with our thoughts shining concepts right into your lap when we write verbs to link words from ink blurs it comes out fresh to impress on the paper. (repeat) [listener] i lay the groundwork, throw on about ten layers of intricacies shrouded delicately through a buried sea but doesn't matter when you really don't care or see that i love it, seems like lunacy to chase it all so blindly catching me so off guard i'm questioning how much you're feeling me, i could scream like hostages about how much the man keeps me down or i could complain like the handicapped about how my lyrics sound and how it's not accessible, but i won't i should impress my rap-name on your mind like it's a leather belt and i might try to make you feel guilty about how i'm so underground and you're the commercialist soil on top of me..well i'll just lay the groundwork and stay content with my beats mixed in concrete sheets with word repeats phonetically bound by threads of concept pleats recycled into thoughts unique. hook: [sintax] my father's prize possession is a pilot ball point pen he keeps it freshly polished and seldom is it written but he left last week and so i took it for a spin joywriting with my friends, swerving in and out the margin pardon my pleasure because i'm reckless when i grin i never look before i laugh because that's a waste of inhibition cross double punchlines and keeping traffic on their toes i've got em ducking into stitches as i'm steering down the road offroad imagination goes wherever you suppose compose in 4-wheel drive to survive the highs and lows i'm a patouine jedi fully trained in the art my heart metacholorean count is off the charts trained with obe 1 kenobe in the early morning sun spit sound surround like dolby when i breathe through speaker lungs riding bareback on a banth across the sands of tantouine using the force to chart my course holding the hands of elohim who bends my will to win, pod racing on the outer rim deepspacing as i'm chasing down ideas with my pen lament for the loss and pray for peace so kids can cope spit hope, love and joy with every flick of the scripter's pen stroke. hook: |

i carry my heart in a name-brand box with a handle a suitcase, briefwould be an over-exaggeration many vandals have ravaged and torn at the toughest of my armored skin eventually, i'll be able to tear back the masses stomach to walls of hurt within, smiling deadly slant-toothed grins with so much tactic, it's the saddest of sights, i confess but the loss of a tongue would be the end of all destruction and all countless empathetic waverings sung timidly, but in the end, it's my doubt, yes that overshadows my victory and a war against all the fears that i've already conquered, i sit defeated and cry wondering why they're here and who took them from the cell? and who has the key? i see it pressed deep in the palms of greed chuckling at my misfortune, murder creek is the place to go and drink, the scene is set, dig deep grip mud on the banks and drain your emotions until you weep. hook: on the banks of murder creek where it hurts hearts to speak i wonder if it's worth all the nights i've lost sleep still at peace with the breeze that the globe's been given we'll dredge murder creek to keep this life worth living. (repeat) [sintax] it's the terrific and i'm picking up plastic from the highway if you love to litter, wave your can and sling it sideways got some styrofoam? burn it in your driveway! join me felling forests on every other friday my way of living is beginning to get me torn i was born for mass consumption plus i love to global warm when i perform i form a coastal storm even the greenhouse affected, my breath is above the norm cursed mother earth to scorn and treaded upon her beauty looked creation in her eyes and refused to let her move me i made a movie just to mock the many who really care brought kerosene to earth day and i burned the forest bare then blare my boombox just to noise pollute the air knee deep in murder creek where the river runs red head on river bled but i was fed by blackbird now the whispers in the wind tend to blow backwards and the grass turns brown and the trees don't grow and the sky hits the ground and the river runs low there's more to this life than getting what you want but we've got mother nature bound in the trunk what's known of god is manifest in his creation defacing the earth is disrespecting his reputation man is without excuse when the message is so blatant defacing the earth is disrespecting his reputation. hook: [sev statik] my thoughts recycle themselves before i spit my flow i bring light to a planet to fill up these black holes wack flows get thrown out the session, blessings are real i speak life; my mic held high, never concealed but out the mouths of men, death is heavily manifested consequences echo blind through the vision of mankind it's the image of self made tangible in these last days palms disconnected, infected with man-praise dead words with flesh erode out the alphabet before meaning is found, ya'll making that sound take back those things you never meant, said in vain hate comes in triplets, so i'll hold 3 scopes and take aim murder in the name of god, venom is now spit i can't listen to most rappers, cuz they ain't saying nothing so i sit and wait for my labklik tape soon to be on cd, press play and rotate. hook: |

i like to keep her in my pocket when the fans watch but i'm the one to pull her pigtails when we play out in the sandbox and hands stop clapping when manchild's plan's not to rock upon the rhythm when he rocks you my shock values electrify and light your darkest secrets ride the beat. i'll walk beside it on foot if that's the way i feel it and if that's the way i feel it, there's no chance that you'll convince me off the beaten path of substance plus you left the rhythm empty. [freddie bruno] i exel on spreadsheets to freak the journalistic captivate the rhythm and ride with my linguistics performing with the loops let the sentence bring drama beni hahna avenger with the heart of shama untitled god sound, astound the freedom fighter i stay behind the scenes like medical underwriters highlight a parable grammar fluorescent to see split your brain up in sections as a lesson for three. [playdough] i state fact and playback to rate wack take back rhythm like an indian giver, deliver inside of this metronome where poem hits you and splits inside my spirit where my vocal transmits rhythm's key so i'm setting her free, ninety degree pushing clockwise, keeping it quantized and off-wise over the beat we meet in deepspace place rhythm in the palm of my hand as contraband. [listener] now, we are rappers rhyming rap-style rhymes with our dj's tracking beats to crack spines with some blatant accusations pointed straight for your crew then you stutter to defend you are real, oh are you?. hook: dust on the cuts. [playdough] hey there rhythm, it's me again, tell me, how ya been? i guess the middleman could be this pen i use to talk to and walk through they chalk you traced around your silhouette cause how ill it get but watch the intellect resurrect, check god's purpose give me a hat confirming that you truly heard this yeah, there you go, i show improve just to move make the rocky path smooth while i'm taking back the groove. [manchild] yeah, yeah, yeah admittedly i'm jaded but please don't blame it on my freestyle or my content or my cadence or my blatant disregard of the rhythm slash the drum sounds it's just the fact that i got a lot to say and it can't be dumbed down i told you that i'm unsound, so deep i make the young drown dumbfound with one noun with fred b and harry krum now unbound, i stand at the foot of the cross there intersected yo, i'll take the rhythm any way that i can get it. [freddie bruno] i break the powerpoint while your microsoft attempts are just some weak demonstrations that are over the fence your train of thought dissipates like smoke from incense i'm doing wind sprints, using my voice as testament with the golden folklore onlookers would hope for prolific, ziontific phonetic compos-or revise your whole score, write it out on dirt floor put the rhythm in my soul til it secretes my pore. [sintax] i've got a crown of white wisdom hidden below my ballcap i'm pencil fight fencing just to take the rhythm back but if emceeing is believing then sintax just left you doubtless syncopated the rhythm to the pulse of god's verse. [sev statik] and i'll take the reflection of music and use it to inspire men comply with the laws of physics and send this written around the globe for those beings who live to be free no holds barred, transform the sun, moon and stars. hook: dust on the cuts again. [freddie bruno] letters walk parallel with tracks i spit on on the threshold of stress, push through with stiff arm maneuver the pen in slow motion on the canvas your raps ain't fat, the populous is still famished. [playdough] i'm hearing breeze from the treetops present in the beatbox sober like a detox room i come to consume the volume take the rhythmous spoon odiferous with the fume in full bloom, i assume. [manchild] tie a ribbon around the rhythm; earmark it for the future mc's lost their motivation like housepets that spade and neutered play the tutor, make the most, stay the course, make decisions wake the sleeping, take a chance, shake the world, take the rhythm. [sev statik] many words of faith placed inside blue line prison bars divine intervention to easily discard fake knuckas perpetrating on wax, cd's and tapes so i take the rhythm to a new place and mold a new shape. hook:> |

without these hard times you and i would not know how to treat prosperity i've lived my life dual optically and it would not be until i lost it that i could appreciate true clarity in front of my many reasons for these seasonal concepts includes experience and charity thrift of life is what i have to grasp using it sparingly just does not seem fair to me but i must go about humbly and try to build something try to help others build not just lumping my priorities as my only goals but to point myself directionally to brighten other stars and let them know about galaxies far beyond their thought platforms about men and songs about war and how it's wrong but it's right because basically without the dark we would not know to covet light i know you can hear but you don't always listen to me taking for granted every time you blink that when you open up you'll see. hook: around and around it goes filling the flows with the catchiest slang so whose winning this game (so who is it?) the finger thats spinning this thing because its yin and its yang that keeps the world rotating [playdough] the world turns, but concerns me not with what they got plot land, follow the man leading to onslaught ignorant of what they heading for, i speak in metaphors straight into the market thats black, riding the track bare back, down the path of the straight, open the gate hates filling up the mind of the blind, so i decline all the fruits spoiled, coiled up in the middle was a riddle that had left me perplexed right in the text, out loud as i think it, in getting into the brainstream looking for an answer, to keep it honest (i keep it honest) i got the finest of noodles that i'm rhyming still i'm bombing to the beat i feel the keep it real with rapping in tales of platinum sales you asking me, if its a tragedy that master p could master thee art of acceptance, but regardless he got it and if he can be successful, then do i really want it? hook: [manchild] this rollercoaster ride is up and down, its voice inflection demolition experts, employed to destroy whats been erected i've seen intrepid warriors turn holy when they tempted then listen to public outcry blatant genocide on a record that's like a cop who thanks a dealer for the crack that he sells (thank you) like a woman who thanks a man for all those that he tells (thank you) and oh well, i smell the daisies and try to endure the bee stings arm in arm, with weapons shooting blanks at three kings spread my wing in the dark and fly by night pain infliction keeps my pen encrypted, thats how i write (oh right, alright) i jump the turn-style, burn the sun-dial cry on my pillow for a lifetime, just to experience one smile call me a medicine man, everyone can yeah, i see you lying over there but i believe its better to stand pan-handle on the corner of devotion, and patiently waiting for the world to defy the trends and reverse its rotation hook: |

hebron hill sighed with heavy heart, the night to set aside shepherds stargazing, turning pages in the sky planets paraphrasing, speak the language of the cosmos laying flat upon their back to feel the black engulf the globe stuff of prophets' prose published in the firmament got tagged with fatty marker just to make his message permanent palestine wind blows promising her billows west bank blanket shelter shepherds in her meadows from the sandal to the shelltoe, velcro to fat-laces man has walked a million paces but he still can't find the road but one night the light flash of angel flight was cast illuminate the plan, the lamb would shepherd man at last from the now until the everlast, i want to be god's servant like that virgin riding bareback on a pharaoh beast of burden from capernaum to bethlehem to ad infinitum yo, i write em in the wind so my children can recite em. hook: so poetic, expressing the styles, shooting the gift uplift, tear down, bare down in ziontif-expression stressing the fact bringing it back to the essence of the presence where it all began. (repeat) [manchild] the heavenly jerusalem pursued glue my pupils to desktop, use a headlock induce the labor pains through broken sounds until my best shot almost seems subdued, so i renew my passion just for you but you came to my door today just peddling my time away handed me a booklet from your tower as you watched and it's not that i don't appreciate your dedication to your faith and it's not that i'm simply losing patience it's not that i'm not enjoying our every conversation i just find it hard to breathe in such a manufactured fragrance peek my head out of the basement for a moment where i study the science of zion, spying on atonement and navigate by the north star's north wind worship the child with no earthly father who's far from an orphan explore then implore men to hear it, contemplate it mankind can only discover what's already been created. hook: [freddie bruno] tribal instinct running the ink my bloodstream the voice of my spirit that's seen through kings' dreams interpretated the most hated drawn conclusion preserving my brain for the future like cold fusion i'm told to purify the globe and hold my intention write fluid off the margin like a paragraph indention awaken from a meditative state, i freak the tape concentrate to bear witness as the pro creates rocking tracks like songs with sage and quartz stone make the world gain interest like banks on short loans you're easy to get into like section 8 homes i invigorate homes and i dominate poems cats overlooking me like midgets in mall traffic i held my cool, trusted christ and outlasted reaching with eternal prowess that i possess make me do like wyclef from the stress and manifest. hook: |
