Reboot My Trap In This (free) 03:04
It’s time to reboot my trap in this Compute reused words for rapping shit Dispute inside high tide getting the grind right Timed tight parallel to towards the twilight It’s my fight you can just sit back and listen To my addiction of syllable instrumental collision Original additional songs to wall up my prison Miserable sensation has been my lively tradition Finally I've risen but still salute my scantiness Dampened kiss building up the pursuit of happiness Are you feeling it? I’m dealing with its precision Broken time incision magician for now it’s my only decision Since I started only my inner angst had been regarded Now I’m heavy hearted, retarded from my past garbage I should have folded my minds only open to the moment Tunnel vision molded and I want to turn my shadow golden I’m holding on tighter hoping for a brighter future Self esteem booster because for now I’m a fucking loser And so are you if all you do is sit behind your computer With your fates shook being another Facebook user Cosmo abuser widening the void for conformity Making clones and breaking zones of one’s diversity Altering brains mixed into a self centered blend And changing the value and definition of a friend All of you genital based fuckers are the same to me All so lame to me realize that we just chained free Trained to be nothing more than a pyramid slave Low spirited wave with a sexual inherited crave Where it was made at center of all creation Commencing adaptation to all types of temptation Computation demonstration in a one way conversation Abbreviation abomination raising my articulation Here I come I want the world to die in my arms That’ll only happen if I strike all the right alarms But the action couldn't happen but it constitutes a challenge In the end I’m just rapping with a brain that’s off balance Progressing my talent but my message is opaque Inspiration is absent and I’m only chasing a snake

Pursuit Of Happiness (free) 03:13
Arsenal of vocabulary sewn to make up my bed It’s possible or mandatory that I clean up my head Between voids I’m dead just waiting on clock work Instance of common sense makes me stop to smirk Rewind in reverse behind this black shirt I plan to flirt with this girl if she’d answer first I've done my best and now I’ll do my worst Take it easy since I've seen up close that hearts can burst But the insane craves for affection sets me off level So much bran wave current that’ll never get settled It’s so hard being in a vessel affected by emotion I’m a wreck for sex but I can motion the potion It doesn't matter let’s take baby steps up the ladder I know that I’m sweet but don’t eat through the wrapper Breathe deep and capture the moments and the laughter I don’t even believe in love but we could read to the chapter This song’s for everyone in the pursuit of happiness You’re all held back by whatever your bad habit is No matter how we change we’ll see the blackness shift Live for the future the present and just know that the past is shit I’m not empty I’m chased by the memories I’ve embraced Even though I considered what led me to now is waste Use it as paste to glaze up the unknowing upcoming Traced to face a dilemma of life while the suns running And the moon is forever following my hallow sin I wallow in I’m thinking of things to say for your time that I’m borrowing Make a message clear if you’re here have no fear Perceiving is believing but we all love to sound sincere When saying something’s there but we don’t feel a thing So I live my song and only care for what the seasons bring Summer to fall to winter and rejoice in spring Timeline spiral and the calendar becomes a ring And I like to imagine they all lay on the equator But this is hypothetical I’m not the matter creator Didn't ask for my position but I can’t imagine greater But don’t waste your life just being a religious debater This song’s for everyone in the pursuit of happiness You’re all held back by whatever your bad habit is No matter how we change we’ll see the blackness shift Live for the future the present and just know that the past is shit

Salute My Scantiness (free) 02:06
Onward to my destiny that is my specialty Poetry dependency to reach my goal of serenity Fundamentally I get chills from this fantasy And it’s a necessity to fill this beat to capacity That’s the strategy I’m practically wrapped up in the alchemy Of being matched to rap attached to the trap so anxiously That I hardly have a subject but I’ll still finish successfully So I guess essentially my rep is growing accidentally I’m building the chemistry but there’s not much the recipe But allegedly it’s questionable seems the density is flexible Maybe I’m professional; probably just exceptional Judgment is unethical besides I’m entirely too skeptical I’ve never been conventional to the popular demand Because the strand goes hand in hand with too grand and too bland If you understand I command you to stay away from poor rhymes Stop swimming in your shit and find ways to expand your minds Under the nervous surface your purpose is worthless And here I stand with enough courage to pull on your curtains Switch subjectivity it’s worth it to rap in cursive Bitch hyperactivity is a cursed gift and I’ve earned it Carry on with caution it’s not uncommon to forget your options Enticed because I’m illy awesome rhyming words become toxins Originated from oxygen and I’ve inhaled as a cosmopolitan Allowing me to frolic and spit nonsense contents confident Possess complex progression leave behind my passive aggression Caress concepts in this session to improve expression with no question Seriously devious mysteriously genius and critical Permissible mythical lyrical either way it’s all invisible You little fool so pitiful if you’re not following the riddle drool Although it is too difficult to trail all that is conditional Whether it is digital, fictional or typically your visual I suppose it is forgivable if you didn’t catch every single syllable

Recluse To Ghastliness (free) 02:25
Increase speed indeed feed the beast That lays underneath with peddles to my feet I keep disciple cycles we rifle the on the east Through teeth I breathe gliding on the side of the street Taking pride in my baby on my grind with her daily And maybe it’s our bond that fondly drives me crazy With so much alone time traveling long distances Invisible microphone rhymes inside of all these instances Oh I’m going nutty oh buddy this isn’t funny It’s like a rain cloud running my head even though it’s sunny But I’m amused with my bruised fuse better than the average monkey So excuse my confused use of words the journey can be lovely It’s how ever I subject it inside of my head I test it I wreck it check it I’m infected and it’s always accepted The second I reject it I expect shit would hit the fan If I eject the best connection with brain then I won’t know who I am Besides I’m introducing illusions inside my head subconsciously If I configured a conclusion I’d consider myself and anomaly Obsessing on psychology and philosophy policies constantly That sociology became foreign and I owe my friends an apology Insanity has grown in velocity honestly but it fronts like a comedy Everything’s an oddity growing; growing; growing its quality HOLY SHIT; what fuck am I saying? Portraying my madness practices is too much to be publicly displaying After all I’m just talking about riding on my bike And I’ll cover my tracks by saying that’s what it’s really like I just exaggerated in all my previous statements I’m not that saturated I’m actually quite good staggered patience

Elude The Vanity Pit (free) 01:51
Inject perception indirectly Everything’s deadly done incorrectly I respect the possibility Don’t live timidly without divinity I don’t fucking care I’ll stare at empty air Empty where? Inside and outside Desperate prayer being scared of an outline It’s about time doubt died in my clouded mind Wrap my head around it fine whatever I’m clever The beats create peace in my soul forever Or at least whenever we are together Under pressure an adventure for the buried treasure Secret letter; secret letter making the agreement better Frequent measure to reach peace in a forbidden pleasure That’s where I find resentment; most find contentment But I’m in no position to contradict their objective Ineffective perspective; it’s all deceptive Lives become reflective and it’s naturally selective Alright; Alright, we could talk about this all night Indite delight and we still won’t know what’s right So I invite you to bite through your sanity pearl You’re just a boy or a girl forget about the vanity world

Reminisce on your first kiss; is it worth it? Uncertain circuit serves no purpose in a person Memories grow hidden when left unwritten Every passing day denominates more division Subject repetition should prove that I’m head locked Traded religion ambition just so I could be fed rocks Hopelessly grasping patterns for you to notice me As a nobody taking my stumbled thoughts emotionally Do you hear me? I just want to learn to think clearly This will be the last song I take apathy severely Uptight clown turn my frown upside down Keep my feet on the ground remember that planet’s round I can’t get lost inside the sound I feel freezing I’m sneezing I've been barely breathing till I found perceiving is deceiving And believing is cheating but it’s necessary to move on Tag along stay strong I can’t tell you what’s right or wrong These songs are just songs and my words are just words I’m not all that disturbed so fly free my birds I’m free; I’m free; I’m free as I could ever be To conjure a reservoir of metaphors mentally Especially with a dumb mind on my crunch time Quick run find some rhyme for the punch line Oh shit I’m stupider than a fat cat in a lake Drinking while sinking just to add more weight Because I negate associating in a world full of hate And I can relate I just don’t want to eat off the same plate It’s not fun anymore it’s been done before so fuck it The butterflies in my stomach performed as a puppet Emptied my bucket of an abundance of substance That drove a tad bit loony assuming I’d find justice It’s rubbish and my sanity was my expenditure Irregular competitor boiling my heads temperature Making me decline thought because my minds hot So I should not keeping making reality my blind spot These songs are just songs and my words are just words I’m not all that disturbed so fly free my birds
