I cordially invite you to my mental, live from the diatribe
With vents that tye and dye, vibrating the highest, rise
No amount of dollar signs could level out the Mayan tribe
Prophecized Armageddon cyanide takers, I've
Messed up a lot, on better days I'm bound to jot
I'm glad the daughter doesn't have to see the father stop
The writing process that allowed an outlet to invade the spot
And caused me to find a new tribe, the San Diego squad
Still learning to leave the cleansing to the universe
But sometimes I feel the universe tells me a clue will hurt
But still I'm out to trek or learning to stand still
'Cause anxious tendencies tend to outweigh like anvils
But I'ma carry them all up on this mic along
With my partner Kaus and producers that like to mix it right
One at a time, hearing a beat that's blowing the mind
Hear another rhyme and you'll gradually approach the divine
Coal in the mine, left it behind like a diamond that shines
That's the Power Stone, watching my dream-cast the design
And that's the way it goes, it was my plan to show
Keep it vibrating, Bruce Leroy, the aura glow
And yes, you oughta know, the summer time floral clothes
Sailing into you Kaus, lets hit 'em, whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa
And that's the way it goes, it was my plan to show
Keep it vibrating, Bruce Leroy, the aura glow
And yes, you oughta know, the summer time floral clothes
Let's sail right into you Kaus, lets hit 'em right before we blow
Sending this out to you wherever you are
Wherever you are
Getting prepared to fuse and mesh with the stars
It is the start of what we are
You've been cordially invited to a night of celebration
Live from the underground to meet these minds of innovation
A black and white attire, modifier iteration
Of a wonderfully colorful reply to degradation
A complicated conversation in relation
To an artist, regardless if reputations will tarnish
It's the farthest that I've ever come, bloody feet, weathered lungs
But here today's the sweetest taste upon this bitter tongue
A bit of fun, a little love, I think I'll stick around
Adopt a soul within the sound before I hit the ground
And what I found while I'm falling is I'm alive
Kept this feeling in the pit of my stomach so I survive
Now I thrive off the hunger and pain that I know I carry
Living inside the dark will explain the vocabulary
Balance is necessary, I carry it to the finish
Offering an experience that'll never diminish, I'm
Sending this out to you wherever you are
Wherever you are
Getting prepared to fuse and mesh with the stars
It is the start of what we are

Love for the Moment

Yo, you know it's dope, you ain't even gotta ask your neighbor next to you
This'll ring so loud it echoes heavy through the vestibule
Your energy is needed, but we will not lessen you
In other words, short change, so we invest in you
Now people of the congregation, if you're feeling good
Let me see your hands up, matching heights with how you feel you should
From the front to the back, we're gonna give you praise
So many days I'm feeling phased, but can't erase
The wicked opportunity to rock up on a different stage
My thoughts are caged usually, but then I meditate
Then a beat'll play, a fixture that's within my mix
The mist begins to fade, and love is how I conquered it
Love for the moment, it's undeniable
Pushing right into a vortex I see as viable
Light a fuse, heighten news, I'm in this fight as I ensue
The trials of many, let's bring it in, go for a night or two
Cultivated a blade of my own volition
Earned a seat at the table and made up my own position
Added a couple flavors that gave us some opposition
And when I was done with that, yo we ate up the competition
Fish in a barrel, a perilous state of living
Beauty within a murder, intelligence is a given
Graduated and made it a way to reveal a vision
That I related the day when I made it my new decision
It's a little bit bigger than battle rapping or ego tripping
Or talking shit cause I know that it gets the people flipping
I had a sip but it simply wasn't my cup of tea
Would rather focus the vocals on what it's done for me
Comfortably a vessel, a conduit to the moment
I understand the method is relative to components
Heart of a starving artist regardless of the proponents
My only worthy opponent is me and this mic I'm holding for real

Framework

Red rum, we beat on a dead drum
Head numb from the trail and we'll leave you no breadcrumb
Get some, any of it, the scraps are beneath the table
Relax and regard the maps as inaccurate, the disabled
Couldn't follow, or swallow information when they're hollow
If it's what you are inside, I bet your misery will wallow
Bottles of prescription drugs with no patients
Souls with no homes, masters, no slave ships
Grave shift animal, animated, mechanical
Panic creating static, planet ain't understandable
Mandible is holdin' while your tongue has got the key
So we plan to overthrow the ones who know but never see
Never plan to ever be any viable component
You can never feel the shoes of a reliable opponent
Yo, we own it and we're traveling and taking over land
It's that derp squad orphan from that 5D fam
Understand? Go and make some noise if you with it
And if you ain't participating, bet you didn't get it
I'm the limit, line that you ain't never gon' cross
I'm the final frontier, yo a sucka named kaus
Understand? Go and make some noise if you with it
And if you ain't participating, bet you didn't get it
I'm the limit, line that you ain't never gon' cross
I'm the final frontier, just a sucka named kaus
These particles collide in a way that I never noticed
Colors are getting vibrant in ways that were out of focus
Like shades of prescribed components, towards rays when the sky is open
We laced it and diagnosed it, leaving it frayed, denied the potion
Go through this, most wouldn't boast but instead invoke a diss
Supposed to be dope while hoping oceans whisk away hopelessness
Metaphorical voids become the loudest of voices
Then the chorus sings, bringing us out of the poison
Darts towards the light, TV's off at night,
Paranormal delight, fifth dimensional pitted fights
Against the current plane, it's the toughest grain, the government makes me wanna
Go insane, but still the fact remains, it's all a strain
Plaguing all its citizens, tell me how to get rid of them
Most of them are just sitting in positions with no experience
Living the nihilistic instilled visions inherited
Not a care in the world, except for their inheritance
Understand? Go and make some noise if you with it
And if you ain't participate, I bet you didn't get it
I'm the limit, line that's getting hard to define
It's the final frontier with Kaus & Emphasize

For Real

And all that we got, ain't even half of what's desired
Breathing fast and growing tired, trying to climb to higher ground
It's probably not easy to balance on the wire
When you're standing in the fire, you've inspired through the sound
Still we should probably do it,
I threw it all up in the blender, turn the solid to fluid
I knew it way before I did it, I loved it, yo, I admit it
Acquitted of any previous fuckery I committed
Invented another realm of madness for this method
Crashed and broke the glass, this class is now in session
Brandishing verbal weapons and stepping into the ring
I barely work up a sweat, you fuck up in everything
You struggle to get the puzzle, this muzzle's a better fit
Your double as one who sucks, but also guzzles a dick
The script ain't ever changed, you just never read it through
Man, somebody out they goddamn mind to credit you
Muthafucka for real, was somebody even thinking
Muthafucka for real, I bet somebody here was drinking
Muthafucka for real, was somebody even thinking
Muthafucka for real, muthafucka for real
Congratulations, your whole style is bitten, erase it
Out of the history books of the hip-hop statement
Flagrant portrayals of life running in Asics
Deception gets recognized from your ill-advised placement
Now you're just a blank face, but don't let it deter you
From finding out your true purpose at two surfaces, learn through
This immaculate, divine intervention, it's a lesson, yo
I speak progression so one day you'll be sick and professional
Less conventional, more artistic in your way to flow
In different areas of your perception, check the way it grows
When you begin to ground, moving in a natural
State of being every time you breathe, I spit the facts to you
Stimulation overloaded in our system
Societal structures breed a different type of wisdom
A different type of habitat that's blocking out our common sense
Lots get lost without the proper guidance towards enlightenment
Now it's corporations raising kids to be consumers
And another millionaire, tell me, are they truly gonna care
Are you really gonna care, I know it's tough sometimes
With that anxiety, that's when I write my toughest rhymes
I gotta meditate when my thoughts get carried away
Or I get carried away within my thoughts while I battle the day
But in the meantime, rewind to see if you resonate
With any usage of words within this passage I demonstrate
And hopefully it helps, that's what I learned from
Listening to hip-hop when I didn't even understand myself
The message, and I know that we can overcome the obstacle
Learning how to be like water while the rest rock and roll
Muthafucka for real, was somebody even thinking
Muthafucka for real, I bet somebody here was drinking
Muthafucka for real, was somebody even thinking
Muthafucka for real, muthafucka for real

Head Nod

Yeah, just another repetitive, thought process
Getting leaked credited and a lost object
Jettisoned from an off planned, overgrown moss land
Peered from the center of the innerknown boss man
Lost chance to be a synthetic, no life
Acknowledging unless it was for my gain
Fought bands and tempted to be a part
Of the hidden faction, suppression of all of my pain
Some things are just inescapable
Might stretch when I know these plates get full
But it's therapeutic when involved in the music
And I get lost in the forming of words, making sure not to waste the flow
Balls in the court, shy to adjacent blows
To my psyche, but gradually taking control
And I gain more, never credit I take it for
Let it be put out to the face to oppose
Temptation of falling back
If you do, don't fret, there's another track
Staying on the course long has a great effect
And a realistic approach to the way I check the pressure and this level of depth
In the particular sections and when it is met
We then can instill and enter for the vision is set
Intangible is the newest perception of anything
From a dimension that is here but rarely felt
Barely inept, yet killing and accelerating
Medically invigorating like a psychedelia
Type of mind frame, bring it into the millennia
Current lane is living in a different plane that sit within your brain
Begin a new phase, I don't want you to delay
Just an authentic portrayal and it's beginning to stave
All the pressure built, it's time to protect
Listen in and vibe to all I respect
Now you're on, you're on, you're on, you're on, you're on, you're on, you're on, you're on
Just an hourglass set up on its side, time standing still
No reason to keep shit up inside, come on
Now you're on, you're on, you're on, you're on, you're on, you're on, you're on, you're on
Just an hourglass falling from the top and the time's up
No reason to hold in what you got, come on
Sunlight, but he bouta to put a foot down
Come right, he don't put up with no put down
Dumb high, but you know he'll never look down
Stirring up a pot till the chemical is cooked down, blaow
Ya'll don't really wanna know how
Dressing up a syllable, playing with a vowel
Focus on a visual, hit an individual
Literally gonna leave my name on a style
Like that, I don't ever wanna go back
Fuck what you saying, I ain't worried about a rack
This is a sign I'm out the cosmos
I got the plus one, you gots to have flows
You got to have pain, you got to have woes
Gotta have highs and you gotta have lows
Then we exposing the talent in a raw form
Straight paving the way, we don't conform, agh
Fuckin' with a poltergeist
They say she bad news so I roll the dice
And I lapped it up and I folded twice
'Cause I like the cold when she hold my life
I'm like, damn, I don't think you really understand
Live through the shit, then I put it in my hand
Take it to the stage and I give it to the fans
That's when I call the supply and demand
I'm gone, swerving in a kinto-un
That's like when I eat your gooms
Act like I don't even need a chase
With the metal on my face, bouta meet your doom
That's right, but I need some room
Bouta make something go boom
Me and Emph be the masterminds
Known to blow a planet up, just pass the time
We like-agh
Now you're on, you're on, you're on, you're on, you're on, you're on, you're on, you're on
Just an hourglass set up on its side, time standing still
No reason to keep shit up inside, come on
Now you're on, you're on, you're on, you're on, you're on, you're on, you're on, you're on
Just an hourglass falling from the top and the time's up
No reason to hold in what you got, come on

Into the rain
In one ear, out the other, no change
Text complex from an unknown range
Get familiar with what once was strange
Inspiration falling on you like rain
In one ear, out the other, no change
Text complex from an unknown range
Get familiar with what once was strange
Inspiration falling on you like
Suffering succotash, upward swings from the underpass
Crawling out like graduates that are running to grow up fast
Holes in the path, popping up like moles in the grass
Listening to the inner speaker, keeps your hopes in a grasp
Hold up, I need a moment to configure myself
'Cause it's rocky on society's current vision of wealth
Division and untethered, non-feathered like most stress
Over time, picking up pieces to put you together
Peering in from momentary stillness
Solid and a solitude's igniting realness
It's evident to feel inside a real switch
Instead of confinement of mind, trapped in a signed/sealed glitch
Pine-filled mission-based, wine-spilled mix
Field shifts, perceived from the divine milled gifts
It's titular within the design and sits
Proportional with the heart, and lifts when it aligns with
Rain, in one ear, out the other, no change
Text complex from an unknown range
Get familiar with what once was strange
Inspiration falling on you like rain
In one ear, out the other, no change
Text complex from an unknown range
Get familiar with what once was strange
Inspiration falling on you like
Forget the succotash, it's me I know is suffering
Feeling stagnated like videos when they're buffering
Don't believe in God, but I'm getting loud when I cuss at him
Pick myself up off of the ground and I shake the dust again
Damn, that's how it feels when you're trying to be a man
Trying to play your odds, no cards in your hand
Never had a dream, not a dollar for your plan
Far from machine, that's the man that I am
When I'm down and I'm blocking out the momentum
Analyzing these messages, wishing I never sent them
Down a path where I just hadn't calculated the math
Or recognized what would influence every part of my past
It's the last time that I'm ever breaking at halftime
I'm finally focused on what I want when I craft mine
And everything that I've gained, it should be given
I was borderline going insane, but now I'm driven to the
Rain, in one ear, out the other, no change
Text complex from an unknown range
Get familiar with what once was strange
Inspiration falling on you like rain
In one ear, out the other, no change
Text complex from an unknown range
Get familiar with what once was strange
Inspiration falling on you like

Wildfire

And we're overflowing with commentary
Buried right beneath observers in the mind that barely
Correlate to our personalities when we think
Where one will lead you but mentalities won't stay in sync
So we battle with the self and struggle
While sick of being just a piece of someone else's puzzle
I live a double life, but I ain't double a man
I'm only double his thoughts without a gun in his hand
So I've been up and out of my mind and on a binge
I've been at it for like 70 days, I'm on the fringe
And we spin, and I'm digging so underground
You can hear the sound of my fingertips moving around
On the other side, as I travel through this earth
Interpreting information, examining what it's worth since my birth
And I don't think that shit'll change
We obsess over a topic that ain't meant to be explained
We the same
Ways to explain
Who I am
On this page
Yeah, finding myself in the midst of finding
My personal gift, unopened from personal guilt
Pushed into the past which makes itself an unlearnable skill
Lurking and yearning, not earning purpose through working to build
Just an old version that fills an image, immersed in the will
My mind's written, ink in the quill, burned in a fiery kiln
Hoping that it gets discovered and is worthy of film documentation
For generations or converting the pilm
Surface hard-boiled, tough exterior, hiding the most delicate
Guarded so it'll most likely never be president
Just a tad bit of sun, because it represents
A part that is living inside, yin and yang leveled in
Leaning more on familiar territories and attributes
Playing roles in uncharted waters stay placid through
Although occasional moments of interruption
From currents leave me mesmerized, enough to pull this passage through
Ways to explain
Who I am
