have you ever seen a man with his hand outstretched yet somehow it got you out of debt? (nah)
yeah you wanna flex
you wanna get the rolex
i bet you wanna own jets
and not know where you'll go next
i'm avoiding the toe tags
you avoiding the soap splash
i'm annoying as four flats
keeping you from your dough stack
at the level of pro stat
embezzle without the blowback
metal shredding you polecats
and never spillin my cognac
you know that
yeah
they wanna drive the boat
but they ain't got the sea legs
billy dee with the colt
he lift it with crispy reflex
i ain't tryna smoke
i consult with the rejects
craig you ain't got to lie
just kick it without the pretext
i'm on my dexter's lab
no Dee Dee he just be depressed
got the heebee jeebees
you see me as g rodriguez
would you do me a kindness?
and i won't see it as weakness
promise i'll pick you first on my team
see me at recess
'cause we fresh

OLD MAN RAPS

wait until my corporate partners hear about the slander
cyberbully channels are cancer cancer cancer
you surely did the caper wrong
giving disc jockies paper to play your song
they accepted your pay and played along
benched players you've never seen with game faces on
some semi-brainless pawns
versus this voracious spawn
you've made assumptions which ended in grave deductions
plus sebaceous bumps pus and flaky rough skin
wishing for death summons
when facing defenders with less guts
step disruptions changes ankles to flesh muffins
you went left, nothinh
look like your nikes had an eject-button
stop on dime, pull up, head bussing
insider intel specifies that the feds coming
get off that mufuckin phone, bruh
shred something
he got away wit the dossier
aim for the top
not today
hot puree is just a shot away
see if you can trace my after-images
i re-arrange time, space, and tracks of instruments
and though your bank is limitless
ridiculous amounts you'd have to pay
to have these privileges
a hater has to live wit it
greater name snakes claim your back's defended
but would take it back it minutes
just to pray your past amended
the power level is well over 9-thou
but i can only imagine what you'll say if that diminishes
like, he a punk he a chump
bruh he cheap
wearing the same jeans everyday of the week
that's cool
not trying put too much on you
but i gotta let you know that nobody fuck with you
one day you’re gonna be a mean old man
with blown out adrenal glands and a pair of idle evil hands
look at his knees he can't even stand
he can't do the same things that younger people can

MAGIC CRYSTALS

too many acts be lab assembled from fashion stencils
notice the wack minstrel classism
cash-grab corner you've backed up into due to lacked potential
if i was you i'd pray for fast dismissal
each
sacramental passage send rappers to alternate dimensions where their backs are brittle
heads as big as their ego insinuates but their hats are little
and the golden rule of the land is you always gotta have it with you
and even if it's accidental
a wizard blasts you with magic pistol
reducing you to a mass of crystals
the lamb is sacrificial
cats'll hit you for apack of skittles
i cain't spark courage that you don't have within you
it ain't a factor for me to shatter a status symbol
dummies gon make me put the match to kindle
i'm cool with conan
i'm fighting Fallon and clappin Kimmel
....fuck cdbaby and fuck tune core
soon i'll drop your platoon force
through the moon door
my super suit is synthesized from moon ore
i rule it for two-score like the Tudors
i started off as thin pale trash
then upgraded, went the Intel path
and took a stem-cell bath
so you should treat me like the pope, brethren
those who spoke negatively get choked and get their toes severed then
placed in envelopes and sent to separate coasts while i sit reading the washington post
in the smoke section
more dangerous than a bomb in a drone weapon
the galaxy note 7's a close second
you fuck with the build, fam
let's vision board it
here's a novel idea
let's write a rhyme
then record it

you never know how long it'll last so
surfs up
we all going out with a blast so, turn up
we certainly couldn't last through fucking this earth up
but there's nothing like a scientist's wit
a nerd's touch
to gift us absurd luck
BUT
you seem to be a gift horse orthodontist
adhering to your dogmas
claiming you draining swamps but now your office in the marshes
is evidence of your heartlessness
you not keeping you promise
so fuck you and your congress
my city's my accomplice
we shitting on the pompous
reap the energy that blossoms
we believe in these concoctions, yeah
see the time is ticking on the clock
yeah we sticking to the plot
BUT
you never know how long it'll last so
surfs up
we all going out with a blast so turn up
we certainly couldn't last through fucking this earth up
but there's nothing like a scientist's wit
a nerd's touch
to gift us absurd luck
i gotta admit it
it probably isn't
an optimistic hobby to visit
these zombies and critics
whom only seek to copy and mimic me
body and spirit
bureaucracy is oddly specific
at targeting innocent niggas with
policies, prisons
and hostile conditions, contending with
hollow provisions and
sorrow and schisms
tomorrow isn't given so borrow and lend it
and spend it
fuck it
'cause
you never know how long it'll last so
surfs up
we all going out with a blast so, turn up
we certainly couldn't last through fucking this earth up
but there's nothing like a scientist's wit
a nerd's touch
to gift us absurd luck
even with all the strength that we can muster
it's hard for me to leave the structure
when my peoples suffer
from needle punctures or the lack of equal legal buffers
i'd rather be an evening plumber with a stinking plunger than be deep in slumber
even if i miss a week in summer deep in Tika Sumpter and a peak at Visa numbers
Grecian freaks and threesome wonders 'til repletion shudders
we some demon hunter, cretin crushers
you never know how long it'll last so
surfs up
we all going out with a blast so turn up
we certainly couldn't last through fucking this earth up
but there's nothing like a scientist's wit
a nerd's touch
to gift us absurd luck

serial experimenter
this isn't beginner
cock-ring made in the image
of a fidget spinner
bigger dinner
my plate's full
appraisal of the portrayal is
faithful
my next vinyl is gate-fold
check the dotted line
since the forgotten times
go and get your box to shine my entire product line
after that swab the poop deck
goo gobs and boot-sweat
new Saab
new crew necks
every line measured twice, cut once
to die for
taking care of your animal needs
like pet supply stores
i'll probably die in a forest
in the crossfire of time-lords
an a army of cyborgs
fighting for a divine orb
my principles stick to me
i've guaranteed victory
so what's with the big hurry?
see this is a journey
where any beauty comes inversely related
to moments wholly submitted to big worries
i aim for the fence pearly
so serve me unearthly spreads
of burgers and turkey legs
you off the nervous meds?
i'm garnering furtive pledge
and now the crib's furnished
and i'm surrounded by servants
giving off an assertive air
the kid's of the surly fare
i'd rather be searching for twerking rears
and perfect pairs to squirt and insert it there
when you in a shitstorm
keep your mouth closed
you already gotta brown nose
i'm peeking through the sewer grate wearing clown clothes
my objective is to drown foes
only connecting with the sound pros
on my proud brow where the crown goes
now now, cocaine kings
you don't want your snow plowed 'cause nobody wishes to vouch for
your louse hordes
your whole house smells like outdoors
how can i espouse the virtues
of accepting these nerd hues
an outcast
banned from practice and the work due
out past the curfew
mouth fast as whirlpools
crowds smashed and burned through
