unsung:
Molded in a pot where the dreams get hotter than
steam from the flame met the water in the bottom
and returned to the vessel where the first one crowded in
and sank in his seat while the sky looked bright to him
love him or leave him he's a crack shot pedaling
cards with the mark of the fool and a skeleton
the future wasn't brighter than
flash in the brass pan
teeth in the napkin
scraps in the trashcan
born in a shirt with the mark of the beat
now I rock black hoodies with a cat on a leash
static electricity born in my sleeves and I'm bored
by this symphony I made in a dream
lay down
ear to the ground
hear the heartbeat
that's just where my mind goes
we live in a time code
If I don't make it home there ain't
no one to build a shrine for
I'm walking towards a sunset
with visuals to die for

billy pilgrim:
searchin for something to inspire
bird on a wire no desire for a perch
my thirst, draws water like atmosphere from the earth
for perfect circle return like the cycle for rebirth I
drop fluid, flex minds like grey matter
let the stress pass, till atoms scatter like rains
pressed like memories up against your windowpane
no shame, just simple and plain thats the riddle
a ripple in time, tho he got his start in the middle
struck thru the heart, til he stopped being civil what
is a symbol when you cant see
or say your reachin for the sky
and never seek past the canopy
is it vanity or apathy, blasphemy
i take flight, defying laws of gravity
avidly watchin the smoke trail absently
and left impressions kept like a cavity
cuz life is sweet

shad ali:
I think farther ahead,
Slightly off, a few tools short of a shed,
Enthralled my utensil bled,
And bred a black hole manipulating dark matter,
Spark chatter,
What you stipulate does not matter,
I make the rules,
Kick back, slacked, and played the fool,
Amidst the Riff Raff,
Catch frauds with the BET tat,
Sketch the set track in my head before I spit dat,
Creative spaceship,
Need a break like a chocolate wafer.
Awkward grace in the posture placement,
I shine my beacon all across the nation,
A floor awaits him,
If he dares to explore greatness,
This my court, (3rd) eye ball deserve a Naismith
I say that with some intrigue,
Undrafted entering the league,
Cause I do this shit with ease,
Catch him to the breeze with the veggie leaves,
Aesthetically, I got the stripes like a referee,
Cause beauty and the beast,
They fucked, and gave birth to me!!
