Can't Take This From Me
03:12
|

Sometimes I feel inadequate, craft elaborate rhymes/
I wanna emancipate us from entangling lies/
Told to keep us down, extravagance inhabits our mind/
Shout like evangelists with scythes to cut the ties/
Media shouting lies, exaggerating crimes/
Music controlling people, they imagining ties/
Between music and murder, its becoming repulsive/
My beloved seducing men to commit crimes of injustice/
I wanna write verses that change the ideas/
That rap don't mean shit, framing deceivers/
Telling the world that we're pagans and heathens/
Pray and believe us, you can't take this from me cause/
I wanna write verses that change the ideas/
That rap don't mean shit, framing deceivers/
Telling the world that we're pagans and heathens/
Pray and believe us, you can't take this from me/
Insufficient to be inconsistent when you spit/
You gotta be proficient, work to be omniscient/
Predict when the attack arises, and in addition/
Imprison those who's transmissions have become deficient/
Arisen from nothing, if it helps you to adhere to/
What appears to be, a new frontier for you to/
Say what you want, just don't fear the sneers/
Shift gears and make your attacks more fierce/
Pierce souls, career goals, whens the premier/
The anxiety brought on by society's notoriety/
Don't worry, just bring your own variety/
But as an advisory, bring the fire of your entirety/
I wanna write verses that change the ideas/
That rap don't mean shit, framing deceivers/
Telling the world that we're pagans and heathens/
Pray and believe us, you can't take this from me cause/
I wanna write verses that change the ideas/
That rap don't mean shit, framing deceivers/
Telling the world that we're pagans and heathens/
Pray and believe us, you can't take this from me/
Refine my flow to defy my foes, finally devised/
A new plan of attack to incite a riot tonight/
Deprived of the music that shapes you most of your life/
Rewind the track, and bring it back/
To the way we used to think, the inquiring minds/
Preside over this ignited order, desire/
Exorcise the demons that despise believers, inspire/
Others to pick up the fire, rely on them when we retire/
I wanna write verses that change the ideas/
That rap don't mean shit, framing deceivers/
Telling the world that we're pagans and heathens/
Pray and believe us, you can't take this from me cause/
I wanna write verses that change the ideas/
That rap don't mean shit, framing deceivers/
Telling the world that we're pagans and heathens/
Pray and believe us, you can't take this from me/

Me Against The World
03:32
|
|||
The whole world against me, I need my fucking space/
Aiming for a shot, but I'm too afraid to take it/
Claiming, that it won't change the case/
But I'm doing my best to break through that fake/
Place blocking my road forward, am I being chased?/
Sometimes I can't tell if I'm the only one who's crazed/
Should I really feel this way, constantly fazed/
Face drained, fright taking over, another failed grade/
I now I can make it in this game, just gotta keep the flame/
But no matter how I say it the worry overtakes/
Facing my fears, forsaken by peers, the grave gapes/
Beckoning me in, looking to claim/
My life, the fight drained faster than the limelight, blaming/
Everyone else for my problems, and how I'll never make it/
Staked all I had on this idea, all that's keeping me sane/
Stayed on the side of good, strayed to the same/
Side I was trying to prevent, classically trained/
Mastered this game, disaster's raining, what can I say?/
Only a year in, and I'm scaling the same/
Mountain, others before me have climbed, placing my name/
On a flag at the top, leaves a bad taste in my mouth/
Shout out that I'm never walking away/
My mind's a maze, I walk through it, man done being swayed/
Let's end this shit now, I'm no longer the prey/
Hand curled into a fist, smash into the underworld/
It's me against the world, me against the world/
Hurled insults at me, now I'mma make you squirm/
Me against the world, me against the the world/
Swirl together attacks to show you I'm the scourge/
Me against the world, me against the world/
Shunned from the start but my smirk starts the hearse/
Me against the world, me against the world/
Just so tired, don't know what to believe/
Between these things, my mind gets foggy, hard to read/
Deceit flying at me, trying to defeat/
The esteem that since three, has constantly been decreased/
Displeased with this increase of mistreated elites/
Since sixteen, been trying harder not to recede/
Into my mind, redeem myself and feel the relief/
But I realized at twenty, don't give a fuck what you think/
If it's me against the world then I'm gonna increase/
My ability, no one's killing me, I'll go to extremes/
To make myself better, and known every time I speak/
I'll write all day, impeach false kings who preach/
About mammon and greed, then I'll finally retrieve/
That piece of me left in my mind's reprieve/
Impede me? There's no one who can deplete me/
Reaching my goal, that the only thing I dream/
Recieving the severest release, no one believes me/
My dreams exceed the ones you watch on TV/
Don't let 'em mislead you, I'll keep on repeating/
We're not in this alone, check everyone on my team see/
Doing all that we can to stop this disease from eating/
Everyone we know and love, my heart is bleeding/
Mistreated from the start with no relief, demean me/
And I'll show you this monster, and continue feasting/
Hand curled into a fist, smash into the underworld/
It's me against the world, me against the world/
Hurled insults at me, now I'ma make you squirm/
Me against the world, me against the the world/
Swirl together attacks to show you I'm the scourge/
Me against the world, me against the world/
Shunned from the start but my smirk starts the hearse/
Me against the world, me against the world/
Hand curled into a fist, smash into the underworld/
It's me against the world, me against the world/
Hurled insults at me, now I'mma make you squirm/
Me against the world, me against the the world/
Swirl together attacks to show you I'm the scourge/
Me against the world, me against the world/
Shunned from the start but my smirk starts the hearse/
Me against the world, me against the world/

Dreaming
04:17
|
|||
In order to pen rhymes, my mind is never ceasing/
Breathing fast my last chance to say something with meaning/
This evening, streaming thoughts to pads, can you see me/
Never ceasing, writing 'till the fingers on my hands bleed/
Been told there's no ceilings, but my worries increasing/
Mind's like a cell, fears constantly beating/
My dreams into submission, my trust in them is fleeting/
Scheming to take them out, my mind's sniper's seeing/
The target, hardest to hit metaphorically speaking/
Defeating the demons set out to impede me/
So I'm preaching to the masses who are constantly dreaming/
Leading the charge, Keeping the cause, piecing/
My life together, I know I've sown what I'm reaping/
No matter day or night, I see visions when I'm dreaming/
So I'm stringing words together when I write each line/
And tonight, I just wanna figure out how to save a life/
Dreaming of the visions that I see in my mind/
Design rhymes to help me get up out of the bind/
That I'm stuck in now, do I have enough time/
To make that dream a reality or am I just blind?/
Dreaming of the visions that I see in my mind/
Design rhymes to help me get up out of the bind/
That I'm stuck in now, do I have enough time/
To make that dream a reality or am I just blind?/
Take a look at what I want from life, sketch out the design/
Inscribe it on my mind every time that I write/
Ignite this flame, the same that'll be my demise/
Crazed inside, cool out, my emotions disguised/
Inclined to make snide remarks at passers-by, devised/
A plan to change this life, derived from the night/
Despite my love of the light, gotta end it tonight/
Tired of always being overtaken by slight/
Oversights, so my benign demeanor belies/
This new guy that comes out when I speak of a fight/
Derived from the darkness that I'm trying to hide/
Indict me all you want, but inquire to what's inscribed inside/
Refining my rhymes just to keep them in line/
This divine divide makes what I desire despised/
Delight in the life I've created in my mind/
Don't try and take it from me you won't try twice/
Dreaming of the visions that I see in my mind/
Design rhymes to help me get up out of the bind/
That I'm stuck in now, do I have enough time/
To make that dream a reality or am I just blind?/
Dreaming of the visions that I see in my mind/
Design rhymes to help me get up out of the bind/
That I'm stuck in now, do I have enough time/
To make that dream a reality or am I just blind?/
Can be overtaken by the slightest remark/
Armed to enter battle any time that it starts/
Hostile to those that try and pick me apart/
A beast on any beat, and I do it with smarts/
Tired of these bad odds, coming straight from the heart/
Squashing haters, debaters come at me with harsh/
Words that deal damage and they aim for the spark/
Keeping me here, a carnal urge to impart/
Some kind of meaning to my life, making a mark/
On this world we live in and in other people's hearts/
Soften those hardened by the harsh conditions brought/
Cut through the webs you're holding onto with sharp/
Words to bring you back to where you belong/
They don't break bones, but they sure left me scarred/
Starved for the love you need? Aren't we all/
Come and follow me, and don't be afraid to fall/
Dreaming of the visions that I see in my mind/
Design rhymes to help me get up out of the bind/
That I'm stuck in now, do I have enough time/
To make that dream a reality or am I just blind?/
Dreaming of the visions that I see in my mind/
Design rhymes to help me get up out of the bind/
That I'm stuck in now, do I have enough time/
To make that dream a reality or am I just blind?/

The One To Believe In
04:07
|
|||
Refining the disguise that keeps this demon inside/
Devising new plans, keep that flow coming precise/
Revive the old game, never gonna resign/
Quiet white guy most of the time, but the beat ignites/
The flame to raze this disguise, uncovers the eyes/
That see through the bullshit, what you describe/
As the good life, I don't want it, not inclined/
To spit about money, cars, or even the grime/
I just wanna shout out how I'm feeling inside/
So goodbye to those rappers that are spitting for dimes/
Let me show you the life of a man trapped inside/
A jail in his own mind, to frightened to design/
A way out, why do you get to define/
The way we gotta live, can't wait till you retire/
Quit filling these kids' heads with a life that denies ya/
I defy you, dislike you, and try to deny you/
That life you entice kids to, divides dudes/
Just trying to make ends meet, what I go through/
Everyday on the regular, man I despise you/
Just walk a mile in the shoes of those without food/
Then we'll see how quickly that your money defines you/
No one would like you, like we back in high school/
Speaking to the fake dudes, and all the people that write you/
All your lyrics, talk about new shit let it entice you/
Tired of the bullshit I'm just writing these rhymes to/
Tired of hearing about swag that'll blind you/
Bind you up, and send you into a world that won't find you/
Then I'll finally have the ending that I strive to/
Tired of the bullshit I'm just writing these rhymes to/
Tired of hearing about swag that'll blind you/
Bind you up, and send you into a world that won't find you/
Then I'll have the ending that I strive to/
Now you've got all the masses believing/
With a nice ride and money that starts the redeeming/
Misleading folks with how you present on the TV/
So why the fuck can they talk shit and I'm still receiving/
25 downloads on some real shit, it's intriguing/
No matter how long I write, how many releases/
I still get topped by a beat and a hook, utterly defeated/
So let the children forget the old rap, defeated/
How it used to be a way for people to decrease they/
Worries and stress, stop feeling depleted/
Gotta hand it to you though, your goals keep increasing/
So the underground gotta stay under, receded/
Back together in our minds, hardly redeeming/
Because how are we supposed to get plays, when misleading/
Rappers talk about money and the plays they're receiving/
Hell my Youtube's only got 200 views, elitists/
Got their Vevo hits on over 5 mil, I'm extremist/
But I'll keep increasing my fan base and repeat - seasons/
Done with receding into my mind, repeat what preceded/
My time, Done with being mistreated/
Tired of stars deceiving everyone from little Steven/
To the parents of the kids, worried they can't see them/
So I'm to help you all get to relieving/
Those fears and those worries, I'm the one to believe in/
Tired of the bullshit I'm just writing these rhymes to/
Tired of hearing about swag that'll blind you/
Bind you up, and send you into a world that won't find you/
Then I'll finally have the ending that I strive to/
Tired of the bullshit I'm just writing these rhymes to/
Tired of hearing about swag that'll blind you/
Bind you up, and send you into a world that won't find you/
Then I'll have the ending that I strive to/

Reinventing Soundwaves
03:43
|
|||
Sometimes I feel like I'm on the stand - Guillotine/
But then I vanish before it goes down - intervened/
The one that everyone plays with - figurine/
I wanna quit, but this shit's addictive - nicotine/
So I interweave these lyrics with my soul consistently/
Don't want limousines, I don't want paparazzi/
But this army I'm building wants to off the/
People that they're following, the ones doing a shoddy/
Job of bringing the message to the masses, they're cocky/
And I, understand that the cause is partly/
Due to the fact the game is changing but it's shocking/
To see the transformation that the crowd's embracing/
The further degradation, the media's enabling/
And soon it'll go farther than mere self-hatred/
The tombstone of rap's gonna have the engraving/
What happened to the MC's they just stopped engaging/
Out here grinding in my fucking thirteens/
I put a lot of work in, I think we can agree/
Conceiving up these lyrics just to fucking unleash/
A new plan of attack for these industry machines/
Gotta redeem myself, I feel the unease/
And I dare a motherfucker to tell me what I can be/
If I believe it, I can achieve it/
Cause I found ways, to reinvent soundwaves/
So I'm researching a cure for this disease/
That's besieging rap music, here to defeat/
The poppy garbage with which I have to compete/
It's pushing rap underground, going beneath/
I'm here to redeem it, I can't be impeached/
I'll retrieve the spark left so I can lead/
If you mistreat or mislead me I'm gonna release/
The monster lurking inside, the one that preceeds/
This increase in my esteem, it helped me to believe/
I could change the face of this game and become an elite/
So I repeat the process over some beats/
And create carnage on any track I release/
Intrigued by the way I believe I can delete/
Some say I deceived myself, others believe/
And they follow suit, reaching their dreams/
So repeat after me, and feel the relief/
Out here grinding in my fucking thirteens/
I put a lot of work in, I think we can agree/
Conceiving up these lyrics just to fucking unleash/
A new plan of attack for these industry machines/
Gotta redeem myself, I feel the unease/
And I dare a motherfucker to tell me what I can be/
If I believe it, I can achieve it/
Cause I found ways, to reinvent soundwaves/
Only in this game a year, I'm still a disciple/
Wait for another year, my word on the bible/
Cause I'm gonna decipher, the art of enticement/
Incisors growing bigger, cause the beast, he likes it/
Not relying on others just wanna refine this/
Way that I write and the feelings behind it/
My words bring down fire, like I'm Elijah/
I'm razing this industry, call me defiant/
Or maybe enlightened, but you know I'm inspired/
You're all invited to the game's revival/
You gotta bring that fire, it's a requirement/
When we get together we're no longer divided/
All of us singing together like a choir recital/
Messiah of this rap game, haters in denial/
Left to my own devices I'll finish the requirements/
Entitled to the throne, won't lose cause my mind's on it/
Out here grinding in my fucking thirteens/
I put a lot of work in, I think we can agree/
Conceiving up these lyrics just to fucking unleash/
A new plan of attack for these industry machines/
Gotta redeem myself, I feel the unease/
And I dare a motherfucker to tell me what I can be/
If I believe it, I can achieve it/
Cause I found ways, to reinvent soundwaves/

Out the GateS
03:58
|
|||
Newest kid in the game, I'm coming out the gates/
Spit so much fire, set this whole block ablaze/
Play this game like a violin, it does what I say/
Aim for the top, grab my reigns, get out of my way/
No more mistakes, I'm gonna claim my fame/
Sit on top of the world, but the monster remains/
Inside, I don't know why, but away I'll waste/
Give you a taste, the same left after you say my name/
Fate claimed the main reason I wasn't fazed by the way/
Life rained down shit on me, day after day/
Done with my old life, now Granyte's the name/
Get outta the place saved for the demons to take/
My sanity, vanity drapes a veil, everything's vague/
Eyes glazed over, show's over, the curtain's been razed/
Flames going up the stage, seem fate's gonna claim/
My life this time, gotta be straight, ain't going in vain/
Lines laced with good intentions killing the way/
Music gets heard, bloodstained, and we blame/
Everyone from the greats, to the same ones/
Who just wanna make music and say what they say/
Raised to maim those who wanna stay in the frame/
Gaze upon the masses, I was made to be strange/
I'll spit it straight here, I'm about to change/
How you see rap, so I'm coming out the gates/
I'm here to get my word out, not entertain/
Blame the ones who caused me to go insane/
Renovate this game, change it to the way I say/
Serenade the beast inside me before I detonate/
Hesitate to step to me or I will leave you desolate/
Demonstrate the devastation I can leave in my wake/
A self proclaimed king, I ain't taking a break/
Separate you from the others that defecate/
In the place where I stay, a motherfucking renegade/
Educate so you can't tear away from the page/
Escalate the drama, resonate with the mantra/
Of the highest rapper out there, let me be honest/
A sanctum for those who are overwhelmed with their problems/
Damaged and challenged man you asked for the monster/
Fashion a weapon out of this pen and I'll fracture/
The foundation you're on and let you fall into the chasm/
Lines laced with good intentions killing the way/
Music gets heard, bloodstained, and we blame/
Everyone from the greats, to the same ones/
Who just wanna make music and say what they say/
Raised to maim those who wanna stay in the frame/
Gaze upon the masses, I was made to be strange/
I'll spit it straight here, I'm about to change/
How you see rap, so I'm coming out the gates/
Despicable when I spit, I'm just being honest/
Carding anyone that steps up against me, a true artist/
Paint with lyrics like pastels, draw words like comics/
Tired of this rap game being put inside boxes/
Mind-boggling, they're railing against us, we should be arming/
Up to settle the score, so why are we not conscious/
Conquer the opposition, but we're rapping about condoms/
The hell is wrong with this picture, I know we all competent/
Don the cape to change the game the way that we want it/
Chart my rise to the top, but ignore all the conflict/
Keep this demon inside, trying to write a new doctrine/
A triple threat, you know it's original when I drop it/
A skilled marksman, I'll keep dropping bars until I'm the largest/
Increase my knowledge, I'll stay harmless when I'm harnessed/
But when I break out, I'll succumb to the darkness/
Watch when I start snarling, because my swagger is monstrous/
Lines laced with good intentions killing the way/
Music gets heard, bloodstained, and we blame/
Everyone from the greats, to the same ones/
Who just wanna make music and say what they say/
Raised to maim those who wanna stay in the frame/
Gaze upon the masses, I was made to be strange/
I'll spit it straight here, I'm about to change/
How you see rap, so I'm coming out the gates/
