I Walk (Naz) I walk the hall of mirrors and saunter in a dream Cling onto any songs that wander in the streams which fondle the emotions that haunt the very scene Then conquer every dawn I ponder to be free Never bask in the forms of places up above But I latch what we adorn on faces of a love And cuz I won't let it fall at a violent pace I plead my soul to crawl from its hiding place Won't find my paths straddling the silver lining I can't let my life shadow in the shell of compliance Don't want tomorrow to pass while i'm still dying And find the scars and the scabs braced and defiant And a part of me vibing as my arteries tighten While sorrow is surpassing like a conquering lion So when adversity is present and hearts are in a twirl I arm myself with thunders and march against the world I fought the portly mourning to make the sobbing perish, A sullen sodden soul, transformed to a solaced Seraph With hoping hands reaching to what we often cherish; and drifting on the wings of our concocted merits I'm a soldier of burning love, music and blooming life Celebrating my roots above, influencing newer heights I swing with winds, cuz i'm dancing with my heart Put a hinge on my dreams just to hang'em on a star And as I rise to my flight I see'em tangent to my eyes I soar into the night and see'em dancing from afar So when adversity is present and hearts are in a twirl I arm myself with thunders and march against the world (Devilish Thoughts) I walk these broken roads with hope nowhere in sight The poems of my people become the verses I write Overtaken by hatred I've been lost to all the light Consumed by darkness as I walk into the night As He whispers in my mind and dismembers my soul A chill runs through my spine I think I'm getting cold I watch others suffer in their sorrow I can revel I'm lost and controlled by bad thoughts from the Devil I run from my past but I can't out-run my guilt A prisoner of these vast castle walls I built The sound of the violins translates my heavy mood Backed by the drums and the sounds of impending doom A son of the Sun, the Man that's on the Moon Incept thoughts in my head to watch ideas bloom So as I giftwrap my soul and make ready to sell I arm myself with Fire and march my way to Hell

Close Your Eyes Remix (Naz) Open up, look around--tell me what you see I see a school of lost souls drowning in their own greed Brothers clutching eachother's throats – unprovoked Fear has toppled our empathy, and our hopes A world that's reduced to a scandal of insanity And the candle of humanity's dismantled with our vanities Vandals left us stranded as we're tangled in calamities Strangling our dreams in the mantle of brutality .....I couldn't but take a sigh We're nothing but a number in societies deprived Man meets power, then man meets doom Cuz power blinded man from seeing that he's consumed So if Ignorance is bliss, and happiness is within I'll combat this goddamn system with apathy till the end Those savages can win, I'm just happy to sur-vive Hide in the mannikin within and close my third eye
 (FigureOfStruggle) I close my eyes, only I got the key to my mind As I go inside and coincide with my thoughts I see dead people, it's a blow to my pride What happened to my home?
We got left behind Moses split the sea,
and now we Ride with the tide and we drowning in it I'm a soldier, concrete battle field, God's my lieutenant I fire at the devil but he laughs and says I missed This is my consequence for lack of consciousness With my back to the steel fence I failed the monsters test And so I close my eyes And I...dream (Chorus) (AK) I close my eyes and think of bigger and better dimensions Everything I imagined seems so stupid and pretentious I feel like I'm boxed in with all these phonies and pretenders So persistent, I won't pretend they ain't relentless, yet resistant These thoughts run in my head and I'm just trying to connect them And my eyes are staying closed but slowly I start to suspect them As if they were open all this time But like a father and his son my eyelids will protect them ‘Cause the shit that they have seen
should never have been fuckin’ mentioned So I close my eyes, and forgot about the horrors The past don't matter, it's the future that's important (Devilish Thoughts) I wake up, to the sounds of their screams Voices in my head seem to haunt all my dreams Insanity plagued me, rap was my escape So I bottled my fears and out came my mixtape Now everybody who didn't give a fuck before Suddenly all seem to respect me more So as I dream of fame I close my eyes I don't want the money, I'd rather die The industry's a joke, full of fakers and fiends Takin' our money so all we got left is our dreams And my "mama told me there'd be days like this" "Ambitionz of a Ridah" who was lazy as shit But fuck it,
 I searched for hope at the end of a noose Fought the Devil within and I try but I lose So I, Dreamt of a world where I was free from these thoughts Only to find I was really 6 feet deep in a box

In The Morning Remix (AK) Listen, baby seasons can’t describe you, I swear that if you fall I'll be the first nigga beside you And I ain't being desperate like I wanna get behind you, Just wanna make sure you're fine and okay, cause girl you fine too As soon as I help you up I'l spit some game on you Maybe get your digits ‘cause I wanna hang with you And when I come over you best not be frontin’, ‘Cause you know I ain't into huggin, I'm into lovin’ Let’s make it sum’in Sleep well tonight, and tomorrow we be cuddlin’ Like we’ve known eachother for months My promise for the night is that I know you gon’ enjoy it I’m savin’ energy and I hope you won’t destroy it Tomorrow I be lookin’ forward to a crazy mornin’ Breakfast, you cookin’ in the kitchen no clothin’ I creep up from behind and ask without a warnin’ With your permission baby, Can I hit it in the mornin’?

The sun risin' while you moanin' (Devilish Thoughts) Baby words can't describe you, but I'll try Swear her name was Mary Jane cuz when Im with her Im high Come along for a ride I told her baby let's fly Let's hit Paris, Tokyo maybe chill in Dubai High from her smile cause without her I'd die Inseparable, somethin' like the sun and the sky Wonderin' why she stay with him but she cry I can treat you better you know you can't deny Then she looked at me with sex in her eyes At that moment I knew I had her wet in the thighs Legs open wide with her eyes on my prize Temperature rised she's impressed with the size Went all night flyin' high, she was soarin' Sex on fire she was hot, we were scorchin' And when we was done gettin' ready and goin' She blew my mind and said Can I get it in the mornin'? Can I get it in the mornin' Yes you can get it in the mornin'? Rollin' 'round while you groanin' And can I hit it in the mornin'? Can I hit it in the mornin'? Can I hit it in the mornin'? Sun risin' while you moanin'

Fear Remix 04:04
Fear Remix The world’s sick, aint talkin swine flu People hate me, whatever I do The air fills with loathin-its hard to breathe, Im feelin asthmatic Im standin in the open and waitin for the approachin hate addicts They protestin my excellence and picketin my inventiveness Dont know why I do it, my incentive aint been invented yet There’s a higher cause…It’s the word of God Im meant to be doin this shit the best But in this world creativity's frowned upon, and jokes are laughed at But when the tears of the clown is gone who really has his back? So tell me if some hate me why should I care? Let em hate But someday I'll be great so fuck you to those who called me stupid degenerate And thank you, especially, to those who always stood next to me Know this-Im thinkin of you when I bless this beat Thank you Dont believe the lies Look me in my eyes Please dont be scared of me, please dont be scared of me I remember you This feeling isnt new So please dont be scared of me, please dont be scared of me Never cried when big died, but I prolly will when Em does He got me through my worst moments and his music still does But shit nobody appreciates the misunderstood genius, just the talent-less fad The average consumer dont give a fuck ‘bout the lyrics and thats just really sad Meanin is nothin, melodies is substance, how did it become this bad? It was art, cause it came from the heart, not the talk box But what happens when the substance is gone will it all stop? Or will it be replaced with what is today’s catchy, and tomorrow’s garbage If the real music dies then I think I’ll be the one who takes it the hardest I love this shit, cause it numbs the pain If I couldnt spit, I’d prolly go insane But when the song is done it all comes rushin’ back to me once again And once again... Dont believe the lies Look me in my eyes Please dont be scared of me, please dont be scared of me I remember you This feeling isnt new So please dont be scared of me, please dont be scared of me Ayo fuck all ya’ll, ya’ll is the reason my feelings is gone Ya’ll the reason I unleash my demons in all of my songs Pour my emotions onto the beat My mind clears, my soul bleeds I can feel the pain As it slowly dies…I close my eyes, hopin’ what I say aint in vain I…am lost in music, this life I choose it Im responsible for the path I choose to walk Tell me…why should I give a fuck if Im the subject of which people choose to talk? Maybe I should give them a reason to Maybe I should say somethin’ I been fienin’ to Thank you, haters is my reason to, do what I do And if I ever give a fuck ‘bout your opinion only then I will lose But honestly I am a lil’ self conscious, sometimes I do let it get to me But I will never stop even if my record flops until I rest in peace I got a hole where my heart used to be, music fills the void Until I am dead, hell even if I lose my voice Until I am dead, music aint my job, music is my choice And if u really listen to what I said, You’ll realize…there’s meaning somewhere deep in all of this noise Dont believe the lies Look me in my eyes Please dont be scared of me, please dont be scared of me I remember you This feeling isnt new So please dont be scared of me, please dont be scared of me

Hometown Remix (Intro) Of my world, of my world, yeahhh (Chorus) ‘Round my hometown, memories are fresh ‘Round my hometown, ooh the people I’ve met How the wonders of my world How the wonders of my world How the wonders of this world are the wonders of my world (FigureOfStruggle) Poverty’s the disease spreadin’ epidemic The Monster that eats my soul-Ignorance fed it This creature’s won for too long, I’m out to behead it The oppressors oppressing innocents I swear, I'll make ‘em regret it Struggle got me doubtin’ God So it’s hard to stay spiritual Everybody’s askin' for Miracles It’s not what we need though Gotta set straight the record We just sheep to these people And God is no longer the shepherd (Chorus) ‘Round my hometown, memories are fresh ‘Round my hometown, ooh the people I’ve met How the wonders of my world How the wonders of my world How the wonders of this world are the wonders of my world (Devilish Thoughts) I sit back and reminisce about the lands that I have seen With memories of happiness I revisit them in my dreams Envision my life's scheme-I cannot think of a setting Regret each place I leave so I believe in forgetting See I wanna keep the good times so my motto is flawed It's hard to fit in to new places maybe I belong with God Maybe, my home is heaven or is it really in hell? I'd trade my soul for a home but I ain't got a soul to sell (Chorus) ‘Round my hometown, memories are fresh ‘Round my hometown, ooh the people I’ve met How the wonders of my world How the wonders of my world How the wonders of this world are the wonders of my world (AK) My memories are empty of this place I call home But the freshness is within me it's my job to seize the throne My hometown is peculiar, background inferior I thought I was an equal when they said, “we were just foolin’ ya” The only thing left, is to stand bold and stand tall I represent the people that take shots I can’t call These books are all your weapons The guns are just misconceptions The country you are forgettin', is the country I am reppin' If you dont know your hometown then there are no further questions. (Chorus) ‘Round my hometown, memories are fresh ‘Round my hometown, ooh the people I’ve met How the wonders of my world How the wonders of my world How the wonders of this world are the wonders of my world (Naz) I take a whiff, of the natural mystic in your air If you listen, carefully, now you will hear The drum-beat sounds, it’s the heart of my home Through the lungs in the ground, I embark to my throne The king, is back, to reign uncontested The dream, is alive, you can't silence or oppress it My home, is more than a place of residence It's the birth of a journey-it's the place I represent My veins and arteries transcribed to the Nile An adjacent part of me is to die in your smile I seek your progress, just to keep you spotless Eat and breathe, the need, to speak your conscience And if the time decides to take your past in a flood I will bleed just so I can paint your flag with my blood My home, my mother, I shall recover in your chest I live by three words, Motherland or Death

World Is Ours It’s a crazy world A crazy world that we’re livin’ in But we don’t really give a damn Because this money’s for the takin’ Everybody know’s the world is ours Everybody know’s the world is ours Everybody know’s the world is ours (Devilish Thoughts): Rewind and replay this My lines full of greatness My mind is amazin’ This world’s mine for the takin’ My cool is ragin’ Ya’ll don’t know who you’re facin’ Anyone against me’s in for a rude awakenin’ Ya’ll claim u stirred the kilo’s We the reason u heard of C though The 3rd world heroes will murk yo people We mostly good with a third of evil My mind n soul were born a part That’s why my lines ‘complexed’ like Bonaparte But ya’ll ain’t got no listeners So listen first I spit on these pussies like I was liftin’ skirts Walk around just flippin’ birds Talkin’ shit n verbs Oh ya’ll still feel hurt? This is war I’ll take no prisoners So reach for the sky n shoot down the stars Mr. fuckin Universe couldn’t lift up my bars My shit’s up in mars that’s why I got the coldest heart Ya’ll came close but no cigars Everybody knows this world is ours It’s a crazy world A crazy world that we’re livin’ in But we don’t really give a damn Because this money’s for the takin’ Everybody know’s the world is ours Everybody know’s the world is ours Everybody know’s the world is ours (FigureOfStruggle): The sound of bullets Got me turning up my music, as loud as it goes Let there be Light, as bright as it glows Me and my life are sluggin it out Im dodging the blows When you see tears in my eyes Its cause she hit me square on the nose How can I play fair when Im fighting these hoes Crazy world crazy life Life’s a bitch, my crazy wife But she mine and she fine And when Im down she’s crying Till death do us part, and we trying, yeah we trying It’s a crazy world we livin’ in My biggest goal is getting in To do whats right forgetting sin What chaper of the world is my life written in Music is my minds motivation I know that you hatin They say that hip hop is run by the Masons So I’m killin’ Satan, we ain’t makin’ music no more It’s product placement It’s a crazy world A crazy world that we’re livin’ in But we don’t really give a damn Because this money’s for the takin’ Everybody know’s the world is ours Everybody know’s the world is ours Everybody know’s the world is ours (Devilish Thoughts): I got the whole world in my hand A pearl in the sand Unfurlin’ my plan So serve my command I got my eye on hip hop, she will be my girl And Cudder said it best, this will be my world It’s lonely at the top but I got enough friends My world starts where the universe begins We on top n we’re gonna live it up This world is ours and we neva gon’ give it up It’s a crazy world A crazy world that we’re livin’ in But we don’t really give a damn Because this money’s for the takin’ Everybody know’s the world is ours Everybody know’s the world is ours Everybody know’s the world is ours

about

The lyrics are almost all by me, Aden Mendelsohn (except for the features and some of the choruses). This was my first mixtape. I recorded most of this in my room using a mic and my laptop. I did not produce the beats. I did the majority of the vocals (specifically almost all of the rapping-again, except for features and some choruses). I recorded this mixtape in late 2010, and at the time I was 15 years old.
