Verse
They can't handle the rhythm
Channelling visions of animalistic tactics
Cannibalism backwards
It's like the world be eating me alive
But when peace is on the mind, he can be deprived never
Rhyme clever
Scientist of sound, mathematically puttin it down. Tryna make times better
Spine chiller
Define iller thatn E Black
And you'll be sent back with your weak raps
Believe that
Stress on the mind, these tracks relieve that
Confess that I shine with the, illumination of the universes secrets
I shut it down like Bruce Bowen defense
I move around with a Bruce Wayne mindstate
Decrease the crime rate
Iller than the planet of the primates
Holding mankind captive
Take off the man suit, get your soul active
Peace to 1take Mike, no practice
My Va fam we keep it moving, no traffic
I spit the minerals and vitamins you lackin
Your times up, try again son, your slackin
I'm so nasty call me MC Naughtiness
They be presentin fraudulence to the audience
Peace to Jose Nova, whats really good Warren Britt?
Yea, Brooklyn keep on takin it
My flow ill they dancin on the floor to this
Slaughterin, so they tryna find the source of this
I take them back to the core with this
Only defeated by the shadow that I'm walkin with

Verse 1
Now the first time I saw ya, I was on the corner of 125th and Broadway
She was coming out the station, our eyes connected. Then I started walkin her way
She had 5411's, silver doorknockers, hair in a pony tail nice
Just the kinda lady that I like
See she wasn't even trying, but looking flyer than the other type
Now how are you so beautiful? Just couldnt walk by you
Said her name was Erica, I smiled and said, Badu?
Rolled her eyes, guess she heard that before
Said if your name is Tyrone, please be headed for the door
(Guess I'll see you next life tme)
Nah my name's Elijah. Peace queen, I love to write rhymes
She had the ill bright shine
Sending chills down my spine
And I could see that she was in her right mind
Chorus
Now this ain't just another love song
You done got it all wrong
Said I know you heard this before, but I think you are the one
You are the prototype
Just what I been waiting for all my life
So won't you tell me what you like
And maybe I can love you right
Verse 2
Conversation continued
Said how can I pretend you, aint this beautiful
I put my heart on the menu
Its eating me alive
Can I see whats inside
May I tap into your mind
See whats happening
Divine, aint a word I'll be happy with describing her
She so much more than the kind you catch a crush on
Asked me what I think of love. Said I aint never scared, Bone Crusher
I'm no Usher
But you remind me of a queen that I once knew
Ghetto Rapunzel, let your hair down out that headwrap
Asked me what I'm gettin into
I got a show tonight at this uptown venue
So jot my number down. Hit me up around seven
Put your number in my phone, under the name Heaven
(Heaven only knows, Heaven only knows, a love like this)
Chorus

Verse
My conscience is telling me to be cautious
Theres two armed men standing in the doorway
One yells at the other, have it your way, just give me my portion. So I can go and get my baby girl them Jordans
I started feeling nautious
Plus the brother next to me smelled like raw fish
Thought back to Erica, so I could get my mind up off this
She was gorgeous
They tryin to figure where the owner of the store went
Oh girl runnin her mouth like a faucet
Son put the gun to her head said, chick you better quit the talkin
Nah man that’s attempted murder, just aim for the legs and cut off the walkin(Robber 1)
Suddenly a young couple walks in
Ayo Fred, thought I told you to lock the door man(Robber 2)
How you gon’ call me by my first name
I don’t even want this, I’m in the snatching purse game
Now if I pull the trigger I’ma make it hurt James
Guarantee you aint never felt no worse pain(Robber 1)
Listen dude, we gon’ finish this or what?
You know I got my lil cuz sittin in the truck(Robber 2)
Pardon me, but you wasn’t in a rush when I was tryin to leave the crib and you was tryin to get a nut(robber 1)
Excuse me guys, I don’t mean to interrupt
But I got somewhere to go and yall are ignorant as - Duck!
Guess who kicks in the door
Who else but the 5-0 waving 44’s
Hook(2x)
It’s just a everyday hustle
Once again its just a everyday hustle
Said if you want to live then you got to get paid
If you want to get paid, you better find a way

Intro
Love is what you make it
Life is what you make it
Peace to all the hatred
Peace is for the taking
Life is what you make it
Love is what you make it
Peace to all the hatred
Verse 1
Said ain’t nothing new under the Sun
But it’s a fresh life under the Moon
See I could be running with goons
But this brother’s in tuned, with the minds that be loving the truth
See me, I got nothing to lose
Hard times, I hope we’re recovering soon
It’s crazy out here. I love the hood, but I’ll be reluctant to move
Trying to figure out who gave these youngins the juice
And they still ain’t knowing the ledge
I know your close to the edge but
Woman don’t cry, please hold your head up
Learn how to fly, instead of trying to be with all the fly guys
Don’t it seem like the medias got us
So sick, we all gon’ be needing a doctor
They say life ain’t treating em proper
But if it ain’t kill you, its keeping you stronger
Hook(2x)
So live for the now. The now is forever
Them past times hard, but the now is getting better
Like joy to the pain, moon to the stars
We in this together, we in this together
Verse 2
The Sun and the Moon meet twice a day
When he comes she goes for a night of play
Chills with villains and the likes of they
They be V.I.P. don’t like to pay
She hangs with the strays, the gangs, and the gays
The pimps, the prostitutes who all want change
Claim the more they pray, the less they see a movement
And that’s when she shines the most, that’s how the Moon is
See, cause when she shines she finds a way
To share, cause sometimes sun shines opaque
Between the yin and the yang, better find your place
On the fine line that balances time and space
Cause time waits for nobody, nobody is safe
From the obvious in life, which is obviously fate
So before its too late
I implore you be great
Turn your hobby to your job and create
It aint safe but we live
Hook(2x)
So live for the now. The now is forever
Them past times hard, but the now is getting better
Like joy to the pain, moon to the stars
We in this together, we in this together

Verse 1
She was the jivest, the jivest of all turkeys
Award worthy, grammy and oscar
My heart can’t understand these imposters
Was probably the 12th man on her roster
She at the point, running game. You don’t want to know what she put into that pasta
The ultimate brainwasher
Put you in a spell, then just sit back and watch ya
Now these Earth girls are strange but she’s something like a monster
Son, you in trouble when you spot her
Never trust a big butt and a smile,
She’s beyond trife, have you love struck with her style
For a Klondike, I’ll walk a couple of miles
For her, I walk the planet, might get stuck in the wild
Tell me how’d I end up with a child?
Only known her for a week, and I ain’t even unbutton her blouse
Chorus
There she goes, it’s the same ol’ song
Running at the mouth, hear the game in her talk
Love the way that she walks
No way to match this fatal attraction
She ain’t the baddest
But I’m caught up in the madness of her actions
Can’t understand this
I’ve got to let her go
Verse 2
There was a time when I wouldn’t admit
That certain interest weren’t legit and I should just quit
But, every time she puckers her lips the imprint of instinct after a hairflip makes me submit
I made a promise, I wouldn’t get caught in the web
But to be honest, she had a comfortable bed
Now I regret letting this black widow wrap legs around my head
Knowing well I would be left for dead
Honey bold from the get-go
Her blackberry juicy , something like a phone you can’t let go
Or like some of the best smoke
We text, release stress
Send a BBM cool face SMS
For lack of better words, it seemed I was hypnotized
Caught up in the way her blinking eyes focused on the prize
So much soul , couldn’t see the laundry list of lies
Realized that it’s bout time that we say good bye
Chorus
Verse 3
Baby girls a demon, she don’t know that I notice
Tryna get in my head, thinking she getting me open
I’m in the driver seat, rollin
She ridin’ shotgun tryina stay in my focus
I’m tryina stay on my P’s and Q’s, but this T and A
Got me thinking about spilling my DNA
I wanna tell her kick rocks, hoping she feel a way
But up goes the stockings and I feel away
She got me stuck, and I can’t peel away
Even my homies can’t figure out the deal with me
But in my head I got in under control. That s not the case at all
Y’all n****s just hatin, wishing she was yours
I’m never thinking it’s poison wearing that Lacoste
Shorty got me swiping my Visa no matter what the cost
Even my mama’s advising me to call it off
To no avail, every time I’m with the chick I’m showing off
Chorus

Verse 1
Relax your mind, let your conscience be free
And listen to the sounds of the conscious E.B.
Lets see how they react when I drop the Ep
Cause’ 22 and living with your moms ain’t easy
But I gotta stay focused
They say the plantations only for the hopeless
I’m tryin to take the road less traveled and -
I’m caught up in this traffic jam
Got me trippin, like where’s the hidden camera. Slam -
My head upon the steering wheel
Got me spinning like a carousel
Running out of energy, the Moon is like my Duracell
On late nights, performing for the Universe
How can I feel stage fright? I’m only giving you my words
From the heart. In the form of a painting
A portrait of greatness
Fighting those caught in the Matrix
Pardon my lateness, but I was busy with the past
Preparing for the future that we’re living in at last
Chorus
Blue skies, over me
I can’t stand these rainstorms another day
What am I to do? You cry hopelessly
Praying that these rainstorms with go away
Verse 2
I meditate to the sounds of the city
Where they’re all beautiful. A few thousand are pretty
Its just a mind state, got me irate
My third eye race around the tri-state searching for a slight change
So close I could smell the cigar smoke
Caught a butterfly but the jar broke, and she flew away
Hope to find her on a newer day
To take away my future pain
Side bar
Push aside bars about the foolish chains, money and fly cars
That got you worshipping these modern day icons
Cyclops, I blast you with my sight locked upon the prize
Top’s only reached when the climb stops
How do you define rocking a mic
When your largest audience is 25 tops and ya like -
It is what it is, I do what I can
Fes said I got the juice, understand?
Chorus
