Lyricism (Intro) We've come so far Now the game is down and hurt And rap just keeps getting worse and worse (Chorus) I just can't take no more My faith in rap is torn They got no talent in them Where is the lyricism? With every new hot rapper They just get fucking sadder Fake shit is all they spittin' Where is the lyricism? (Verse 1) For every decent rapper there are 10 fucking sad ones Sayin' they shootin' niggas when they don't even have guns I wish that I could smack 'em, I know I rap the killin' shit But I only speak my thoughts these faggot niggas singin it Im killin these bitches n they know Im bringin the rhymes I'm better with mine, I keep this fuckin' pen at all times He's so out of line, the fuckin' greatest of minds With more epic writtens than William Shakespeare devised Depictin' the sick shit Rap's missin' with visions n signs With lyrics that mind-fuck any who hear it inside It's clear that he's high-but his truths can make ya go blind While ya'll stay bendin' facts like the New York Times So I say fuck their pop shit listen to this instead My brain's jerkin off...I guess Im fucked in the head Damn it's too bad for Hip Hop this maybe its end If so then FUCK IT I'll NEVER PLAY RADIO AGAIN (Chorus) I just can't take no more My faith in rap is torn They got no talent in them Where is the lyricism? With every new hot rapper They just get fucking sadder Fake shit is all they spittin' Where is the lyricism? (Verse 2) Rap died with Pac and the Bigs, Smalls, Pun and L Hip Hop got graverobbed by Wocka Flocka n went to hell And Soulja Boy n Gucci Mane went n pissed on her grave So Im in a rage with a mask n AK to visit 'em today Im goin insane each and every time I hear their tracks Goddamit now even Justin Bieber thinks he can rap I mean for fucks sake I know I can't sing for shit So how the fuck can he go and attempt to spit? And how can they say Wayne's the best livin' or dead So lemme show them 'how it's done' like Sexual Ed They tied my music to train tracks n now it's in peril So Im aimin rifle at 'em in The 'Booth like Collin Farrell They couldn't censor the art so they killed it from within So I write with a Defibrillator bringin' rap back with my pen I'm on a mission from Pac to put the fake shit to a stop I'm tryna save the game before they nail me to a cross (Chorus) I just can't take no more My faith in rap is torn They got no talent in them Where is the lyricism? With every new hot rapper They just get fucking sadder Fake shit is all they spittin' Where is the lyricism? (Verse 3) I write scriptures that make the poet Homer look illiterate And Ima keep writin' 'till my inner fire diminishes My every line is monumental motherfuck a Rushmore My words are sharper than diamonds bitch, they cut swords So what more must I say to shatter the doubt inside you My rap notebooks get worshipped like the Holy Bible I overshadow Michaelangelo with my imagery A Hip Hop general I declare war on the industry I'm 'coming' for CEO's but not like their secretaries Contemplating putting record execs in mortuaries A force that's scary and unbelievably exciting Not dissin' Christians but even Jesus can't write like me My rhymes open minds with every single line I'm not a prophet, but my words are divine Portrayin' epic visions with my writtens I'm not the definition I'm a dictionary... I define Lyricism

(Verse) I'm a force to be reckoned with, the glory is beckonin' You can tell he raise hell, by all the heads that he's severin' The pain of malevolence and the genius of seven men Might look like a devil but believe that he's heaven sent Ayo I make rappers paraplegic none of 'em can 'stand' me Devour more (w)rappers than retarded kids with candy Every feature I showstop like Kanye at the Grammys You think you The Hulk? Well muhfucka Im Stan Lee Your creator, prepare to meet your maker Rob ya land like every Native American acre They ask how I act so nice, the way that I rap so tight I'm takin revenge on the world just by actin' right Cos all this bout bein' evil ain't whats real Its sad how some'll say anything just to get a deal And if I have then I'm man enough to admit it Cos the only reason I rap is to express my true feelings And express my thoughts on the strife in the world Rap for more than some fake diamonds and pearls Rhyme cos I'm tired of hearing the weak and absurd Tired of only hearing songs about guns, money and girls Ayo I remember bumpin 50 Cent as a kid Rappin P.I.M.P but didn't know what a pimp is He was bent on makin money ever since the beginnin' Now nobody buy his CD's no more cos he winnin'? If he had a nickel for every true fan he'd have a nickel Goddamn it's sad just how much America is fickle We root for the crook until the crook becomes rich Then we feel justified when we crucify his kids? Fuck that, America needs to open up it's eyes And develop a fucking moral base before spewing more lies But this ain't no anti American shit it's worldwide We need some more heroes to shape our kid's lives I said we need some more heroes to shape our kid's lives Do some right-change ya life and open up ya minds (Chorus) Above the crowds, above the clouds where the sounds are original Infinite skills create miracles Warrior spiritual -- above the clouds raining down, holdin it down Above the crowds, above the clouds where the sounds are original Infinite skills create miracles Warrior spiritual -- above the clouds raining down, holdin it down Above the clouds

As I spark up this J I put my mark on the page Let my pen bleed ink as I let loose my rage I set the, pad on fire with my rhymes of heat Fuck that's the, 5th loose-leaf that I've burned this week I'm full of, expensive lines and detrimental rhymes When I grab the mic, people tend to lose minds I'm dangerous, like old mines or fuckin' coal mines Either way, when I blow up I crush and confine They say the quiet dog bites hard, insane, I'm livin' proof We all got an inner child, well mine's got anger issues too The fact is I damage with ratchets I blast quick You faggots are spastic stick fists in your asses Now that's it, fuck that shit, eat a motherfuckin' cock-meat ass sandwich You damn prick, lil' man-bitch, u'd make the 2 girls with 1 cup yell "damn thats sick" When I flow I make the fuckin' dead rise from the grave When u rap u make people aim a fuckin' 9 at their brain I can silence a rave with my nihilistic ways Start violence for days then I'll hide in a cave The plan I create will leave masses enslaved Make Bin Laden turn in his grave n feel ashamed Fuckin' amateur, blowin' up a fuckin' buildin' Bitch I'm goin' nuclear, blowin' up 6 billion Fuck burners and knives I got bombs and landmines C4 to destroy all homes and crash sites I said I'm dangerous with the raps I bring pain to all the wack If u talk endless flows of cash I'll stick you in a chemical bath I'm endin' you fags, I'm at the fuckin' end of my patience This the final chapter of the world-the days of revelations All the bullshit in rap has started doin' damage to my soul So when I drop my mixtape the whole planet'll explode

Requiem For A Thawra (Intro) As I Dream of life...death...God...freedom...I wonder... Is it really a dream? Or a nightmare? Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray to God my soul to keep And if I die before I wake, I pray to God my soul to take (Verse 1) Caught between bad dreams and screams for so long I need a requiem for my mind because it's gone Fabricated a nightmare-my reality is fake Dissatisfied and disgusted with everything I make And when I sleep I can only dream of my mistakes It seems that in my dreams is the only place I'm safe Dreaming to be great-I don't know what road to take It ain't easy to relate because I'm dreaming to escape! I need an easy way and I'm sleeping through the day At night I dream of change-get on my knees and pray It ain't easy 'cause I'm full of too much doubt to talk So conflicted I have doubts on whether I doubt God And to make it much worse-I question whether he's fair Just look at Gaza and all the death happenin' there Feel like I know too much-it's just the cross I bare But I can't tell if my life is a dream or a nightmare (Chorus) I scream all the time but no one hears my cries I don’t know what’s right and I’m sick of all the lies I feel like I hate life and I’m getting so tired I only feel relieved when I close my eyes I dream all the time but I don’t sleep at night Tyrants all fall down but the people will rise People scream out there so I scream inside I only feel relieved when I close my eyes (Verse 2) As I wake up a new day, new struggle Lost from reality I’m gone from my troubles I'm tryna balance life and my heart’s in this rap game But I'm unsure if I can handle all the mass fame And a man is measured by the strain of his pains In the face of catastrophe I’ve managed to maintain But that ain’t enough I gotta help my brothers I look at Somalia and I weep for the mothers And now Gaddafi’s gone but Libya’s still the same The rebels celebrate but has anything really changed? Palestine and Syria are still in so much trouble I gotta stand up and support their struggle As I go through life I’m havin’ trouble doin’ right So the older I grow the less I sleep at night Cos I’m haunted by countless terrible scenes I try to close my eyes and reach out for my dreams The moments of peace are few and far between I try to close my eyes and reach out for my dreams (Chorus) I scream all the time but no one hears my cries I don’t know what’s right and I’m sick of all the lies I feel like I hate life and I’m getting so tired I only feel relieved when I close my eyes I dream all the time but I don’t sleep at night Tyrants all fall down but the people will rise People scream out there so I scream inside I only feel relieved when I close my eyes (Outro) Thawra, the arabic word for Revolution The only outcome of the people’s prolonged misery That which changes all future depictions of history Thawra, the one and only inevitable solution We are surrounded by turmoil, To my left, to my right, behind me, under me and above me We’re all surrounded by turmoil-the turmoil of our country The inner turmoil within ourselves, within which our screams do dwell However we inevitably reach a certain point where we must rise up and fight a war A point of no return where we can stand no more, no more And it is at that point that we learn the true meaning of Thawra It is at that point that we cease to dream and we solidify our aspirations It is at that point that our submissive slumber is over It is at that point that true change may come, through Thawra (Chorus) I scream all the time but no one hears my cries I don’t know what’s right and I’m sick of all the lies I feel like I hate life and I’m getting so tired I only feel relieved when I close my eyes I dream all the time but I don’t sleep at night Tyrants all fall down but the people will rise People scream out there so I scream inside I only feel relieved when I close my eyes

(Chorus) Ahhh, look at all the lonely people Ahhh, look at all the lonely people Ahhh, look at all the lonely people Ahhh, look at all the lonely people (Verse 1-Abshir) Look at the choices she made and the choice that she's left with Put an end to her dreams and put it in perspective Left all her hopes and her dreams in the back with- Something she regrets but she really can't cope this- Life got her trembling and dying inside She said she's got a God but her prayers denied So she praises God and lets the angels decide How many miles that's left on this ride This girl daydreams about leaving it all This fast life is nothing she gon' give her dreams a call She was told that life was all about the second chances Job interviews and intimate romances She don't need no school she's advanced in the street smarts Opportunity opened so she cries with a bleak heart Ellen wants to know when or what time the job starts Right now he said, she was hired for her fine arts Fuck this shit, I can't fuckin' believe it "Relax," he said, and put his hands down her cleavage (Chorus) Ahhh, look at all the lonely people Ahhh, look at all the lonely people Ahhh, look at all the lonely people Ahhh, look at all the lonely people (Verse 2) There's an old lady sittin' in a church all alone Reminiscin' through some pictures of a time long gone Her tears drown her sorrows as she stares out the window But the sounds of her cries are swept away as the wind blows A widow, but she's free from the pain that he invoked Misery was her company, depression was her kinfolk Now she's no longer relative to his hellish fits But she's still trapped by the memory of oppressiveness Still haunted, in her dreams by aggressive hits Can't tell where the bruises end and her flesh begins It never ends, she can still hear his voice She'd have left him then but she didn't have a choice She had a hole where her father was supposed to be At only 3, her mom was left lonely So she chose to end the cycle and didn't go to leave Didn't want her child to have the same hole cut so deep She knows that ain't how love was supposed to be Tears of regret fall down to her frozen cheek (Chorus) Ahhh, look at all the lonely people Ahhh, look at all the lonely people Ahhh, look at all the lonely people Ahhh, look at all the lonely people (Outro) All the lonely people, where do they all come from? All the lonely people, where do they all belong?

A Tale of a Forbidden Love (Intro) I'm so cold, I wanna love her but I just don't know Wanna forget her but I love her so much All I can think about is her and just one touch Hear my tales of forbidden love (Verse 1) I close my fists, loneliness is all I know and shit Lost in a Sea of Fire I'm drownin' in my hopelessness I surround myself with those that won't be missed My greatest trick was convincing you I don't exist My condolences, to the families of those I've tricked Can you blame me? Do you even get my motive bitch? I am the unwanted, the rebellious child All my Father ever noticed was my Hellish smile So I found a way, to get his attention Ignore all his warnings I don't even care to listen And I don't wanna change 'cause I don't fear his wrath Then she came along and showed me a new path Goddamn, the crazy shit you do for love Goddamn, she must've fell from Above A gift from the heavens, an undeserved prize An Angel made me better, and opened my eyes (Chorus) How can I love her? She's everything I'm not How can I love at all? My heart's an ice box She makes me feel, with just one touch I'm caught up in a tale of forbidden love (Verse 2) She loves me, and she loves me not She loves me but, not as much as she loves God And we fight so much, and the next day we forget it When it's bad it's Hell but when it's good it's Heaven But she asks too much, and it's drivin' me insane I am who I am, how can she ask me to change? So I just snapped, I guess I had enough crap Change who I am for love? Nah, shit, FUCK THAT Fuck love...I got by for this long I was fine before her and I will be when she's gone But I know that's a lie, I need her and it's sad I fucked up big now I gotta get her back And she's so Angelic, that she immediately forgives The irony is, we went from first fight to first kiss I really felt love, didn't know what we were doin' I felt too much, before I knew it we were human (Chorus) How can I love her? She's everything I'm not How can I love at all? My heart's an ice box She makes me feel, with just one touch I'm caught up in a tale of forbidden love (Verse 3) For better or for worse, she's right there with a plan Lovin' me no matter what, even though I'm just a man What I've become disgusts me, feel like a piece of dirt But I guess it's worth it, now, I can be with her And it's ironic how, I can feel pain and puke Went from being named Lucifer to just being Luke And she still consoles me, every time that she sings She's still an Angel, even though she don't got wings Such beauty it's surreal, but seein' is believin' My Heaven on Earth, she's my lil' Piece of Eden So it only makes sense that a thief came and took it Our bliss ended with her life 'cause of that bullet And I couldn't take the pain of being by myself So I left this world and I went back to Hell (Chorus) I couldn't live without her, so I became numb Overrun with darkness I'm back to square one Now she's gone forever, I miss her so much Is this the end to our tale of forbidden love? (Outro) I'm so cold Wanna forget her but I love her so much Hear my tales of forbidden love

Life Ain’t Easy (Chorus) If I could bury myself, I’d bury myself in music ‘Cause life ain’t easy (life ain’t easy) ‘Cause life ain’t easy (life ain’t easy) I’m sayin’ (Verse 1-C Blue) Yeah, well it’s me C Blue I’m up on the track cos I’m helpin’ my dude Call him A.M. and we so on fire Got Freshy over there, man he should retire Man I’m jokin’ on the mic Tryna keep it all happy cos I’ve had a lot of strife In my life, and the pain in my past lives on Got the memories today but I’ve put it all behind So now I’m fine, just chillin’ with my eyes lookin’ straight I got a ways to go, but on this path I ain’t astray Hit all the roadblocks, potholes, it’s not all great But I’ll get there soon, one day (one day) One chance is all I need, to get to my dreams One scene in the story then my life is complete That’s the goal, that’s me, so I’ll rap the real ‘til then This is an intro to the C, Freshy B and A.M. (Chorus) If I could bury myself, I’d bury myself in music ‘Cause life ain’t easy (life ain’t easy) ‘Cause life ain’t easy (life ain’t easy) I’m sayin’ (Verse 2-Freshy B) I’m standin’ right here with a mic in my right hand Tryna do my best cos life is harder than I ever planned So many hard days back, back, in the time I do it big now cos I gotta stay on shine And everything is better, and everything is bigger I’m lookin’ to the future hopin’ for brighter days I gotta keep workin’ there are no other ways See the music changed me, but people still hate me Now I’m closer to fame and ya’ll people tryna claim Sayin’ you used to know me, guess I’m not the same I’m just a young warrior, flyin’ like a bee Now I’m so high the clouds couldn’t stop me (Chorus) If I could bury myself, I’d bury myself in music ‘Cause life ain’t easy (life ain’t easy) ‘Cause life ain’t easy (life ain’t easy) I’m sayin’ (Verse 3-A.M.) When I die bury me with my Pac CD Play Ghetto Gospel as my mom just weeps While I'm in heaven, with Marley and we Jammin' and When I'm Gone can be my funeral anthem "It was all a dream", the music made it painless I look at the world and still "I see no changes" And we no gangstas, just confused by TV Can you blame us for overplayin' D-R-E? Blame every rapper, from Nas to Lil Weezy We live in the music cos real life ain't easy It's A Hard Knock Life and sometimes we get fed up But Life Goes On and we gotta Keep Our Heads Up Just gotta keep on, just keepin' on Hustlers Ambition chasin' green 'till we gone I live by these songs, I'll die by them too I found the music in me, where’s the music in you? (Chorus 4x) If I could bury myself, I’d bury myself in music ‘Cause life ain’t easy (life ain’t easy) ‘Cause life ain’t easy (life ain’t easy) I’m sayin’
