Punishable Offense

Celebration
Rayneman
Track 9 - Ordinary Lives
Prod. by KMG

[Intro]

Yo, putting this here
'Cuz I didn't have room for this inside the song
I'd like to thank
Writer's Block
Master Gab AKA Rambling Man
The vets who support the new school
Glitching Forever Studios
No Face Records, good friends
Let's get it


[Verse I]

This is to everyone who always got my back
A message to my people and the reason I rap
Look, the daydreaming, doodling downer has grown
And now I have something I can call my own
This is for my friends who're always there for me
Who've seen the worst and best of me
They're like my second family
Do I deserve this blessing? 
See, I was always quite the fool in life and in school
But having homies by my side made the challenges cool
Now I'm here, emcee-slash-engineer
All the losses that I took made the victories sweeter
Sparked a big bang in this empty void
Now all the obstacles and noise, I can handle with poise
This is to Fight Club, DERAILED and my brothers in high
We may have our own flights, but we all share the sky


[Hook]

This is to everyone who always got my back 
In troubled times, I was raised from the dirt
To all the assholes who doubted my worth
I got my middle fingers raised to the jerks
This is to everyone who taught me to believe in me
Believe in their belief in me unleashing my abilities
Believing in the hope that I’ll be living worthwhile
And when my time comes, I’ll be leaving with a smile


[Verse II]

Every now and then, I get a little bit jaded
'Cuz the world is so bleak, life's colors seem faded
I made it, but it's kind of hard to appreciate
Knowing many out there who'll never share my fate
Lost in despair at a very young age
Falling into a state of mind of shallow escape
Locked down in this cold world ruled by the money
All these good kids in a mad country
S'why I don't like shit when I go outside
I wanna be their angel but I'm not qualified
Dreamville's dreamers must be dead or in grief
Turned to dark twisted fantasies of 6 feet deep
Yet smiling faces shine in the dark
The many faces of hope, I etch 'em all in my heart
Always keep 'em in my thoughts for every song that I write
So I can bless them with the same music that changed my life


[Hook]


[Verse III]

Celebrating life’s long trail of milestones
Failures and successes comprise all the rhymes wrote
Head up clouds while reliving the essence
But with feet on the ground, I move on to the present
Firsthand witness that love can be fragile
But to hold it down as long you can is what matters
So I love them all the same, that won't change
Dedicate it to my folks when I step in the stage
And though the Labrats are late in their revolt
At least their talents are no longer latent in the vault
See, Wally on his Don shit, Mental he evolves quick
Kensa, Soup, Omega’s next release is on the watchlist
As for me, I can only be me
How far I'll make it in the end, I can only wait and see
In this make or break to make a break world we live in
We could all use a helping hand to make it through the distance


[Hook]


[Outro]

This is to Emman, Nathan, Faye, Jim and Joe
Karl, Earl, Sam, Rodjie, Cavs, Betch, and Badjong
To Dei, Tiu, and Jorge, big homie Norms
Aniki’s got your back, tell Shella, Carl and Lawrence
Riz, JV and the hip hop fam
Rio and every girl who once held my heart in their hand
This is to mom and dad and every single part of the clan
Thank you very much, you all made me what I am

Track 8 - Ordinary Lives
Prod. by Kensa

[Verse I]

What is a life worth living, he asks?
What's the price of dreams in this world run by cash?
Is mediocrity hand-to-hand with contentment?
Are we only alive if we shine through the heavens?
He's burnt-out so he's inclined to think this way
The elitism sinks further into his brain
Living conditions make it difficult to escape
The jagged fangs of his self-hate
Then he remembers, a dream that he had shelved ages ago
That maybe he should give another shot but take it slow
Is it a ray of hope or just a another way to cope?
He doesn't care, his once lost flames were stoked
Who could have ever thought that you could turn a new page from an old book
And reclaim the will to live this world took
Now that he's got his inner demons at bay
He takes his first jump back to the fray


[Hook]

'Cause when your heart is crying out loud for change
You've got no other choice but to obey
The passion overflowing inside your veins
No matter what lengths you have to chase
It goes beyond the...
Money, fame, power and pride
The urge to burn alight 'till the embers turn white
When only ashes remain, the lives you touched will sing your song
And then inherit your will, the dream goes on


[Verse II]

Even though we live in fearful times
It was his way of telling fate to read between the lines
Never again gonna crumble to his knees
Unfazed by the hunger and fatigue, because
For the very first time in this life
He doesn't feel like a nuisance
Seeing past the road between winning and losing
He was a rogue in the divide between diamonds and roughs
Blurred the lines, pulverized the whole framework to dust
He lived only for exhilaration
Treating every battle as his greatest creation
He wasn't even thinking of dreaming, he just did
Only madness could push someone so off the grid
Yet somehow, the world felt connected to him
They admired his pursuit that was untainted by sins
Unrelenting though he wasn't the best by any means
So this is what it truly means to dream


[Hook]


[Verse III]

Through the rise and fall, he never missed a step
Even if it meant criminal neglect upon his health
Like he truly wished to burn to ash
He kept playing with the fires that his works had cast
There was no better elation than the euphoric sensation
Of making whole-hearted creations out of self-elevation
And a sense of indignation towards the petty racing
May he be an inspiration for this generation, ugh
For the aspirants whose confidence is shaken up
By the culture that only values the greatest, ugh
9 to 5ers, providers under stagnation, ugh
Everybody with a dream who'd like to chase it, ugh
Take the pain and break your chains
Forsake the fame and make true change
'Til the day only your deeds remain, and a new dreamer takes your place, 
The dream goes on!

[Outro]

Yeah, this is to all my riders, providers
9 to 5ers and trife life survivors
Truth writers, freedom fighters and dream igniters
True friends and loved ones that's always there beside us

Dreamchasers, carving out a path of your own
Or bringing change for society as a whole
Earnestly, without selling your soul
Keep living your extraordinary ordinary lives
Yeah

Burnout
Rayneman
Track 7 - Ordinary Lives
Prod. by Serena DC


[Hook]

Somebody hear my signal of distress
Somebody come and help alleviate this stress
Unremarkable but doing my best
I just need some time to wrap my head around this mess (2x)


[Verse I]

Always unremarkable, that's how the world makes me feel
Got too many hands pulling on my steering wheel
False freedom, might as well be riding shotgun
As everybody steers me through Knievel long jumps
The only thing expected from my hands is 2 and 10
Cuz everything less than a 10 is just a 2 to them
They say "do your best", their eyes tell you "don't bother"
Expectations higher than parents in soap operas
So what am I to do? Can't let my people down
Gotta cross oceans for 'em even if I drown
And you know that I'd do that shit with zero hesitation
But it would it be too much to show me some appreciation
I know I stumble through my missions, can't do it quick
But I can take the bruises so I don't break these eggs
Yet if I break one, I'm treated like I broke them all
It's so tiring, might as well just take the fall so


[Hook]

[Hook II]

I need some time, just a minute or two
Don't need to put me in a leash for me to journey with you
My loyalty is infinite for everyone who's worth the time
But don't push me to a self-destructive state of mind
I can only take so much before it bends my psyche
Psychopathic tendencies or psychedelic coping's likely	
Don't gotta psychoanalyze me for a turn out		
I'm one step away from a burnout


[Verse II]

I never did nobody wrong
But the people in my life make it difficult to get along
I'm always on the giving end of favours
Yet always on receiving end of being called a failure
And a fake just because I take a middle ground
But when things are getting real, they never stick around
Maybe it's exactly 'cause I'm fake
That I never know when to abandon ship until it's too late
All alone, I turn to music
Resonating melodies make me wanna try it too
Cobble up these stories into something moving
And if it's not, the act is still therapeutic
Turn my life to art, is that my only way out?
The only way I'm going to be heard amidst the chaos
When things are spiraling out of control
And we can't speak person to person, make it soul to soul


[Hook]

Last Straw
Rayneman
Track 6 - Ordinary Lives
Prod. by Mocksmile


I've had enough, this is the last straw
I'm burning it all, no more bad draws
No more for me, or anyone else
Drag you off of your high horse and into the dregs
That you make us crawl, while you stand tall
Walking over us, now YOU take the fall
How does it feel, ain't it miserable?
Why do you puke from the same shit you throw?
You don't know my story, don't call me a bum
You don't know the burden of a first-born son
Standing in for a father who left us for dead
Mother was my only model for strength
And all of those years, I intend to repay
But not as a slave, harnessed and chained
I've played in this game for too long with no say
I'm here to live life,  I'm not here for charades
So go preach to your choir
You built your career in a lavish empire
I dare you to come spend a year in my jungle
Where shit is so rough, even diamonds crumble to dust
To put food on the shelf
Poor mental health, not a pill for myself
Cuz my momma's grown frail, sister critically ill
Medical bills got me buried in debt
While you pilfer more wealth, I've been working like hell
Yet my salary's held, zero empathy felt
And no friends to reach out, they condemned me instead
Companionship ends where the money begins, huh?
And you think I'm lacking gratitude?
You think I'm just not trying as hard as you?
Two jobs, seven days, and I'm a slacking fool?
You wanna see a fucking change of attitude?
Fuck you self-centered class
You think your money gives everything you do a pass
What you wouldn't do for cash; trade lives for dead--
-- presidents, you might as well join the severed heads
You want stocks? Watch out for the bad signs
Cuz I will turn your fucking life's crescendo to a flatline
Just like the one from that night, I can hear it still
As she said her last I love you and her breathing failed
Hands so cold, tears froze as they fell
I'll let you have a good taste of that soul-freezing chill
She found God, while I lost the one I answer to
From now on, I'm the judge, I'm the arbiter of vengeance
And you're all accountable
Crimes against humanity: treating them like animals
Pillage, murder, theft within the law
And when I kill you, I'll be the guiltiest of all
So what's the verdict? Whose neck should be strung?
Mine, or these worthless, egotistic scum?
How many bullets do I need for everyone who wronged me?
How many shots will it take to fucking end this story?
Fuck, I just steal what I can find
Loaded handgun, ready to go Columbine
Inside that office that I've longed to burn for years
The asshole in charge just wet himself in fear
Wishing this a dream, a horror movie reel
I wish it was too, but my sister died for real
Your fortune won't save you from the karma that you've earned
Take it all to hell and see if that shit don't burn
Duh-duh-duh-duh, duh-duh-duh-duh
Empty, reload, then more duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh
How you like me now, motherfucker?
You walked like a king, now you lay like a sucker
What's the matter? No more witty quips?
Choke in your blood, you condescending prick
I did at last
Holy shit, I just killed a man
It happened so fast
I'm falling and I can't turn back
So I gotta make my exit quick before the cops arrive
Now that it's come to this, everybody has to die
That's right, I'm coming for you all
I'll show the whole world how the mighty will fall
I'm gonna kill you, I'm gonna fucking kill you
There are no depths that I'm not willing to sink to
Just to prove even royal bloods bleed red
I'll take you to the same place my dreams went
I'll take you to the same place my dreams went
It guess this is where my dreams end

Lovebound
Rayneman
Track 2 - Ordinary Lives
Prod. by KMG

[Verse I]

Got nothing in my hands that I can offer 'cept warmth
But I'm worried if you ever hold it, you would be scorched
'Cuz I'm a sucker for love, rather easy to excite
Just another violent heart in need of some peace of mind
I'm not just in it for our bodies to become one
But I wouldn't mind if I ever was your loved one
It's kind of a conundrum, the same fertile imagination
Is the cultivating ground for hesitation
Thoughts lost on the beat of the drums
I feel my body burning hotter than the heat of the sun
When we're face to face, written scripts incinerate
Every dialogue and logical thought disintegrates
As I find myself deep in space, giving chase
To a bluefire comet whose tail illuminates
This dark, empty place where I float with no aim
In this soundless vacuum, I call for your name

[Hook]

Pick up from my hints 'cause
Love has a melody, sung in sweet subtleties
This song is a gift from me to you
Forgotten sensations
What's lost in the memory, comes back eventually
This song is a gift from me to you

[Verse II]

I wanna take you on a lovebound journey
You're a real life Celine, but I can't play your Jesse
I'm more like the poet sweet-talking you for pennies
Hiding my true feelings in cryptic entries
You're the Halley in my orbit, a once-in-life moment
I should carpe diem on it and yet I'm afraid to blow it
So I stay frozen, gazing at your bright silhouette
Don't have the answers to this self-imposed riddle yet
Too afraid to see the end of the puzzle
If I ain't gonna be in it, so I deliberately miss a piece
Now you even got me doubting on my non-belief
Asking God not to make this story bittersweet
But I'm aware that if I want it, gotta stand the hurt
The gravity of a confession pulls me back to Earth
Still no resolve, but a crystal clear aim
In this crowd of lost souls, I call for your name

[Hook]

LYRICS:

life could be an eternal highway
drivin both lanes or choosing free ways
whatever you take you know whats at stake
you know what you doin
when you make some mistakes
life could be an eternal downfall
diving head first 
sliding slowmo
life could be anything that u think of
life could be everything that u dream of

but gods will 
oh gods will
sometimes be shittin on u
thats how i feel

minsan bibigyan ka nya
minsan madamot sya
minsan iiwanan ka
minsan andito sya

so whens somethings there 
you gotta grip it
life force
inspirations
dont give it 
up
cause u never know
when itll be back
man we never know
when sadness attacks
and i hate it
emotions
and poems
illusion
in homes
the way that they argue 
ill never belong
to somewhere thats cursed
a cycle of thirst
whats love and whats not
they all kinda forgot

cause deciding with emotions
leaves a fruit and they rot
uh uh

this life u gotta choose whats real
but how can we all make it 
are we sure its real
is it an illusion
is all just to feel
temporary worth
man its so unclear
uh

free verse for the existential 
crisis in my head
and they say its special
this the only way i can express
thoughts leaving in my head
kinda funny cause they dont know how i pretend
that
everythings okay 
everythings all great


sabi nila wag mag alala
kasi
lilipas din yan
2x

asan na ang sagot
uh
asan na ang sagot

eitherway
i cant say
i give up
everyday
i might feel little empty
but im on my way
to the greats
saying hey
to the people that stayed
and the people that left
get the fuck out my way
im alive im alive
thats what i know

i can feel im alive
theres not one answer of how to survive
eternal highway im choosin to drive

life could be an eternal highway
drivin both lanes or choosing free ways
whatever you take you know whats at stake
you know what you doin
when you make some mistakes
life could be an eternal downfall
diving head first sliding slowmo
life could be anything that u think of
life could be everything that u dream of
