Champagne 04:58
lyrics
buy track
I am a lamb and I am a lion I am an alien, I’m all-American I am a layman, I am sedition I am infinite and I am this moment People under the sickest hats Chase the rats cool cool cats In the city, walk the city My kicks are crawling I got no dollars but I'm drunk every night despite the fact that I'm wrong People only fly when they're constantly falling. Don’t cloak your eyes the light is blind in the shades you wear If you’ve got soul go on and share it Can you hear me? I can feel you? The only way to the sky is hitting the pavement with your dirty little secrets Go on, shout it out Then you can follow me falling constantly I'm playing the game of pain I'm writing my songs up on the train Cause in my brain I just remain in the biblioteca I love the taste of champagne Sitting back on my jet plane Cause yo, people only fly when they're constantly falling

How We Get Down 02:36
lyrics

I don't care where you've been I don't care what you've seen I don't care what you do I don't care what you make We all feel it in the shimmy shake Move your body to the bounce in the beat Come on and move those feet Come on and groove it with me Let go, Let's go rock the show tonight Everybody come dance your asses off Everybody dance 'til you're passing out This is how we get down I don't care what's come to pass I just want this moment to last I don't care about the future or its gravity This is a song about the here and now This is a song about getting down So don't you give me no line Just move your body in time Let go, Let's go rock the show tonight Everybody come dance your asses off Everybody dance 'til you're passing out This is how we get down

I'll Stay 03:54
lyrics

You make me smile But it’s been a while now since I’ve seen the girl that I first knew Now I feel more like a fool for, baby, falling hard for you But it wasn’t mine to choose The only thing I chose to do was to keep on chasing you You and your wild ways Go on and make your waves No, I’m not trying to change you, baby I just want to spent the best of times with you Are you hearing me when I say these things to you? There is so much more than you give me credit for So, stop your gaming me or I’ll be leaving you But I don’t want to go Give me the girl I knew before And I’ll stay Never said that I wanted to have or to own you I just want to hold you and feel that warmth return But still there’s so much that I want to say But I won’t push it on you, babe I know the way to make love stay is let it free to fly away

Scars and Stripes 03:44
lyrics

Controlling the sun Growing the power Behind the wall High in the tower Look down and focus through all the wire Super the power devour the tower the water the rice and the flour My institution, raising a flag, started off as a bloody rag Talking attendance raising my hand Pledging allegiance I'm in command Mic in my hand I have a voice You don't have a choice Sit there and listen Tagging my name up on your Rolls Royce We fight for the weak Just so you can eat We're never discreet Correction: We put this beat down in the street Get out of your seat, ejection! We’re obsessed with chasing money We’re impressed by frenzied celebrity Dressed in avarice we’ll eat you For cannibals we’re forced to be Talking a breath Gotta reboot All computers are prostitutes They're talking the loving away from you You're born today, I'm praying for you I wanna go fight I wanna go die So you can laugh and cry So you can stare into my eyes and know just where my heart resides And that's the prize that I'm winning Just lay me down in my blues Comb my hair brother Shine my shoes Carve my name up in the wall Next to others that had to fall For those who stood and heard the call I'll die you you all We’re billions strong, yet I am lonely Belly’s full, yet I feel empty Look to the mirror, it makes me angry For poverty is all I see We are buried in ambition But we are no longer blind Aint there more to being human Than all this pettiness we seek

Morph 03:09
lyrics

Coming through the haze For all that I know its my final hour So I live every second of my life to the tenth power Till the put me under the flowers, I never live dull You wanna see the real me then you gotta dig up my skull Cause this music's in my bones from my toes to my dome And the way that I shine you would think my skin was made of chrome So please leave my alone If your punches are thrown I'm a very hard headed dude and I got balls of stone And I'm still an unknown till my music is shown You see my coming off of the track like a ride on the cyclone So let it be known my heat is steel not chrome With the silencer on it to hear the bullet hit the bone It’s said that up ahead is a dead end road We’re headed straight for the edge But I don’t give a damn The only way to get up is by going down I'm not trying to scare you but baby I scare myself And most people who know me will tell you that I need help Because they say that I'm angry and you can hear the pain in my voice I'm watching the television staring at white noise Then again flip it around you can ask anyone When I die my soul will shine brighter than any sun I'm the ready one crossing the line morph into beast mode Invincible like I just entered the cheat code Then I try to run but before I can leave I look up and see the puppeteer that controlling me Scream with all my might and try to run away But nothing comes out of my mouth No control of my legs Then the lights dim The people start in fascination The curtains close and I receive a standing ovation You see I'm looking for something else that I can believe in But if seeing is believing, looks are deceiving You know that we got you going To a place that you wanna be Open the door Jump inside Close your eyes Now come on Come and take that ride with me Come and take that ride with me MORPH! Heard it said that up ahead is a dead end road We’re headed straight for the edge But I don’t give a damn Got a reason and a feeling that all this is illusion

Am I Able? 03:30
lyrics

See I can’t add you up baby there is no equal I live like a movie girl and there is no sequel I cant rock for you, I do it for the mother fuckin people You're too beautiful for me See my minds in a cell and my hearts in a rib cage Vision of our love is like a blood filled cupcake Take one bite and let the blood spill out See my minds on a ride step away let me peel out. I can’t make you love me Am I able still? To love you if you loved me Am I able still? And you left your heart open so wide Waiting for me to come inside But I'm still standing in your stairway And although I tried to climb your steps It seems that I’ve now run out of breath But maybe one day you can help me to breathe Pain, it was my picket line It passes much faster when you push it right But what have you got to loose in the end I gave my heart when I was young and into believing It was my currency for the queen But now I’m covered in frost Now I’ve found all the color’s lost It’s the change that I did not see It’s the grey that has become me emotionally

Get Lost 02:37
lyrics

Walk with me, no GPS Get lost with me No microchips planted in me I'm not a hippie but I do hippie things From the old world, you had to fight to get the girl You have to dive to get the pearls If you were lost you found your own way You never know until you get in the game Life sucks you gotta rub with the grain We'll never stop until you're hearing the name You gotta lace em up, march on, search on We are the way Looking for the way Put my hand in the air to get a cab Don't swipe, beat feet on the fare Somewhere around Washington square I can smell the music in the air Which way do I turn, I never learn, hand is burned I don't need to be a billionaire, I'd rather be broke and walk up a billion flights of stairs St marks east vil, alphabet city Sang my heart out at planet rose The west 4th corner rap kid, there it is 40's on the Brooklyn bridge Foot print, leave a dent In the sand, in the snow or the concrete No matter anywhere I go now Foot print leave a mark in your mind in your heart I fucked up and I want a new start Yo I don't use google, I use my noodle Pull out my compass, whole kit and kaboodle See I get my azimuth and lay down my map I had to get lost to find my way back

Blood in the Water 04:02
lyrics
buy track
I was loved when I was a boy I had toys, Mama made sure Jesus loves all the boys and girls For the Bible tells me so My world was filled with promise and providence My family and my friends I had everything I needed But was naieve with a head full of foolish beliefs Having no idea what was waiting for me I was a kid who would steal from the candy store I was a kid now everybody would ignore I ran away and I would try to get as far as I can But every time I wound up where I started again I ran further Away from my father Because he hurt her Blood is not water And I would stand there and just watch him take it She had a heart I would just watch him break it Until one day Think It was a Sunday I shouted out now this is what your son say Me and mommy ain't gonna take it no more I bit him back, then I spit his blood on the floor Then he looked at me and saw his crazy little child With a bloody smile, I think his brain went wild That's when he turned away, before he walked out the door He looked at me and said “Yo, son, Happy Birthday” You better beware There’s blood in the water, yeah Can’t you feel it? Them signs are pointing right and left We’re adrift in it The balance is lost in the red The only grey left is the grey in your hair You politicians better take care Them boots are troopin’ everywhere

Box Me Up 04:00
lyrics

If I die in the combat zone Box me up one time and ship me home Pin all my medals upon my chest Tell my mama that I’ve done my best Walking the street my feet are striking the concrete With effect of an army and all my boots are behind me And all you hear is the battle rattle The war paint, war cry When I die aim for the stars in the sky like sci fi Yellow foot prints, mommy I miss her I got my weapon and I was free Set me up in the fire team The 3rd squad, 3rd platoon, 3rd battalion the best medallion We give each other nicknames just for fun They call me the little gunner boy Rumm pa pum pum Not a fan of the government, but the son's patriotic By the age of 18 threw more guns than onyx The weapons are subsonic The trigger finger's bionic The barrel exhales the rounds Like Snoop exhales chronic So now you understand the kid can never be corny I'm like a garden baby doll I make my dirt work for me This is my rifle There are many like it but this one is mine My rifle is my life. I must master my rifle as I must master my life Without me my rifle is useless without my rifle, I am useless I must fire my rifle true
