about

boom bap
simply' put.

lyrics

apathy personified
and entropy is imminent
specified victim
but always spitting indiscriminate
reckless, you pretentious
tuck your necklace
fuck a guestlist
we in the building like asbestos
feckless
restin on the rafters
chapter next
and put your best out to pasture
i have to
spread is similar to magma
hot stepper
off the bench to championship
jeff hosteler..
outdated
no reference for relevance
cuz even after melle mel
they stil failing to get the message
hailing from a section of pitt
where willie pen rhymes bent
thick as the sickness to be collected from spit
collectively ripped
as a nation direction headed to the skids
and burn it all down
on some, 'fuck it
lets do it for the kids..'
and they on
some fuck a wall cuz we building a bridge..
no limits and none given
so get it how you live

bad medicine
equal parts mescaline pestilence and adrenaline
gentleman of leisure with melanated features
a mess behind the demeanor
here to embellish on your speakers
and they eager to tell it!
got the fear and I can smell it
want it all not a percentage
people dying from thirst, we da refreshment
eating rappers for breakfast
str8 out the mess kit
behind enemy lines we fortified live
unbreakable from the wreckage
cuz when it all goes down
we fall in like tetris, ready
aim from staying connected
guard your headpiece
steady hand elegy
thought he got ahead
but pulled him bak like a felony..
and the pedigrees evident from my chemistry
respectfully, they'd rather have dependency
i leave you breathless
and then teach you to breath in empathy
you mite b what it is
but I represent what its meant to be
