Stark Raven Mad (ft. Howie DuDatte)

I call the shots, I run the bulls, I’m Michael Jordan
Hit it with a little bit of push and a little bit of pull when the goddamn mic recordin’ 
I bring the Heat, I rep the East, I’m like the Celts
I don’t even know what to do  with the gold that I get
Bitch, I’m Michael Phelps

I’m like Lebron, I get the gold, I’m Shere Khan, Y’all carry bronze
I’m Randy Moss, I’m Mary Kom, my game on roids, I’m Barry Bonds

I got a cancerous horde of fans like I’m Lance on the Tour de France,
with a quarter gram of performance enhancers trans/planted in my veins
with 808’s and bourbon whiskey, 
rappers that battle with me fadeaway like Dirk Nowitzki,

but listen, a couple of years and Khan’ll be rappin’ in college arenas
over the net where I’m  serving you bitches, all of you haters can call me Serena
Call me Sabrina, the way that I’m rappin’ and bringing the Magic I’m Tracy McGrady
Y’all motherfuckers stay warming the bench, and the Khan get way more play like he’s Brady

Don't Blame Me (ft. samsa, ATG, & Sunrey)

"Cold soul you know everybody loves you
Even so you can't see the way you're s'posed to go
You know everything that glitters isn't gold
Their faces turn to stone
The black denim jeans with the small pockets
You couldn't afford much you wore what your mom gotcha
You took ya sister out chilling out the playground
the local moms around so you went on for a walk
Just a stroll you told yourself somewhere you didn't have to talk
Cause all the doctors in the world just seem to think you need a cott
And all the pills and lack of sleep can't beat a trip around the block
And you're in limbo falling yet there's not a sight of ground
A place where tears may often fall but all your sobs don't make a sound
And all the light becomes the dark and all the hate just starts to pound
Upon that lock you set to guard your heart with pieces never found
And then you saw her there girl you dreamt to be your princess
Not one you had to save but one that seemed she'd often listen
You're getting optimistic for someone you haven't met yet
But I digress let's keep the camera rolling the best bet
To progress on the story and let's hope you have a check plan
But, you're getting caught up you didn't notice her sneak up
You were getting so startled she thought it was hilarious
You thought you were anxious then but now it's getting scarier
You start to stutter grays may change to blue
You can feel the butterflies they're getting tough to chew
You feel like you might blow up but instead you'll just take flight
And then she'll grab you with her grace and you'll embrace her tiny light
Cause she's so perfect even past the blemish on her surface
You can see the soul that's chipped and she thought she should hide
It's so painful, seeing someone lovely get so stopped up
All the shine they bring is chopped up but you can see the radiance
You just hold her hand and say you'll be there through the rainy bits
She just smiles blissfully you think you're finally making friends
You realize that you're staring into space or in her eyes
And then you're standing all alone except she's right there by your side
And now it's different, nobody is there for you but her
You're falling down through limbo yet the darkness starts to blur
All the words you kept inside in silent solitude she heard
And she takes you to a world and tries to tell you jump head first
But you're so tentative you forget your sentences
You mumble out regrets and fears she stumbles down the steps and then
You might go to catch her you don't really know
but the next thing you remember is the darkness turn to stone
And you're standing in a castle this endless fight with loneliness has ended
Your problems haven't gone away but this is the beginning
You walk into the throne room yes the elephants apparent
She's the queen you've always wanted and you're staring
Hoping you could muster up the courage too
Take her hand in ways to show that you could never hurt her like
Ways that she's been hurt before you'd put it on your life
Because you've never met someone who could just remove all your strife
and in the blink of an eye you're sitting back in the park
You must've fallen asleep but now you're falling apart
Cause she would stitch up the seams she would light up the dark
You didn't notice there was someone beside you right in the park
You looked around and she looked over she was looking like art
You recognize her by face you wanna talk but she starts
She says she needs a new friend Her family had just moved in
She offers up her hand and you take it like a new man
She's looking so vibrant you're getting all silent
She looks into your eyes and so you finally have decided to
Grow old, even though, everything that turns gray, turns to stone
You know that you want to take it on, you just have a fire lit inside you right at home
Oh
Cold soul, it gets warmer, you could find what you want right around the corner
And gold falls right when you wanna make a little change
Turn concrete into mortar
Will you"

Lyrics:
I've been in love with her, and I'm sure, she's been in love with me/
inside year or so long day dreams, it seems the deleted scenes had made up our life/
we were in freak flash floods that swept both of us off our feet, but it all/
panned out, hoping nobody seen that we made out under the rug/
had the trips to the moon and then fun in the sun, concerning us, we'd never shut up/
about one another, but-but the thing was ironic, could never quite untie our tongues/
I was drunk and honey-bee buzzed in a first class seat to ride/
upwards to fantasy you'd hear my cartoon drawn heart off-beat/

we flew over prismatic seas, surrealistic scenery/
she took my hand and began to speak of job opportunities that she reached/
she would be oh so far away from me, but I could never make her refuse/
something, that dear to her so, I told her that it was all "great, you should do it/
we'll be more than fine I will promise, cross my deflated heart being honest/
not a sob story that we were dropped in, there's just a lot here to process"/
so we talk-talked as the dust settled, watched the ceiling ripple on rose petals/
shell-shocked, watching the sun melt upon the dash, foot light on the pedal/

She took her jet-pack and she went, 
beyond the stratosphere, but still sends/
texts to me throughout turmoil
and gets a smile on my face again and again/
we're togetherish but at least we're together
and we're still daydreaming scenes/
no director in, but we film on set
even though we go and paint green on screens/
she's so far away but I feel so close to her, may just be real/
no phantom pain, but phantom pleasure and of course I'm set on making a sequel/
radioactive dirt, I could plant a seed that became a tree/
because I've been in love with her and I'm sure, she's been in love with me/

Togetherish

Lyrics:
My mom and I would drive through half remembered places/
in forgotten times, where people wore their poorly rendered faces/
but I remember I was too young to drive/
our Ford Aerostar so I’d stare at humongous skies/
and saw where bizarre planets bore storms of gold swells/ 
as we passed the same chain of four storey motels/
and I’d nod off to the rhythm of the windshield wipers waving/
in the type of violent rain that reforms the coast’s shelf/
and the rain caught inside the van’s faint high beams/ 
simulated the appearance of engaged light speed/
we’d rupture through the corkscrewed stars in swirled steam/
to a tableau that’s warped too far, it hurled me/
to a selection of planets that intersected at random/
so we landed on one that we never meant to abandon/
but the air was too toxic for our life support systems/
so she jumped back in the cockpit and we travelled more distance/ 

Where the streetlight bulbs were bright stars/
event horizon highways where light parts/
through science fiction doorways where time starts/
in the past, no matter how long the drives are/
I saw the world refract beyond glass/
of the ’94 van in an endless expanse/ 
saw what the galaxies there had to offer/ 
it’s the ballad of the planet hoppers/

Stationed on a celestial body but I can’t recall its name/
we were studying the fauna on the arduous terrain/
but when the first drops of caustic rain had sizzled through our cabin/
we had to rush back to our ship and leave a teal deluge of acid/
we passed abandoned asteroid outposts ‘round those cluster belts/
and found cold households on the path we traveled, routing somewhere else/
then we chanced upon a space station orbiting a dwarf star/
that acted as our safe haven, soaring through the cold dark/
until the calibration sensors malfunctioned/
and pulled the station to a closer orbit and combusted/
we were flung into the darkness that transformed into a tree line/
a forest out the windows of the van that blurred on each side/
jolted in my little seat that rattled in the Aerostar/
I woke to see my mom turn the van in there to park/
in front of a house, I was both groggy/wide eyed/
as she produced a key that glinted like the starry night sky/

Lyrics:
I met you late last year inside that golden age
and you were worth the wait in it, that's clear, I chased you for a date and we had wild goose eggs and beer
then we flew the coop with time itself, two caged canaries caught causing coups
who moved below their radars and noses all by ourselves
black clouds, two heads, one storm, and one bright silver lining
against the current, tripped power, it poured, and we spun bottles it filled with lightning
my jokes would land in honey as the milk slipped out restraints
while blood, sweat, and tears in the kitchen sink we accidentally spilt dripped down the drain
they tied that bag with threads of fate but that bronze cat got out anyways
and rolled out the carpet for colored herrings it snagged from waters I tested late
I'd stare at couple's flags on distant ships, you would jump to others that passed at night
to stretch your sea legs, so loose lips sealed both our fates to sink or sink
you'd count on me to sleep on the white lies you said, so I wolfed down an egg
and pulled that wool right off my head on the lam while you wore your sheep-skin disguise to bed
I watched my life grind to a halt, and fiery sparks had flashed before my eyes
just like ours did inside the pan with a final shot to light the dark
you talked my ear off about your reasons, communication issues between us
you said I use too many idioms, but in that case we're in agreement
yet I'm not here to villify you, and there's no apology that you owe me
I'm just passing by, here parked on memory lane until they tow me
