These are songs created sometime around 2016 or so. After a failed group effort known as DEMOCON, I decided to develop the tracks over my own beats. What you have here are those original recordings, raw, rough, and rugged. I cleaned up the beats, but decided to leave the vocals untouched, flubs and all. Re-recording would have been a hassle, and I'm too old for all that.

Lyrics:

All conditioned things are impermanent
Work out your own salvation with diligence

Spit it like it's my only take
With my last breath
On the first page

Spit it like it's my last breath
On the first day, first step first sight
On my birthday

Spit it like it's my only take
With my first breath
On the last page
4 the last days & times

I'm not one to recline more incline
Here to remind
4 what was taken & can't be given back
4 the sacred & the aura surrounding the stance
Haswrath 4Us
Commanding the plans when the stakes is fate 
& the grace is made from the plate set at the table
With an empty place, an empty chair
4 those gone & no longer with us
4 those with us & no longer gone
4 those being seeing reaching needing beyond

It's the loss that makes woman cry
It's the cost that turns man alone
It's the loss that makes man cry
It's the cost that turns woman alone

It's the lost in the mix of moving on
The sun moon & stars eclipsed
In a pitch black brisk of wind
With a 5th of emotional rollercoasters
And a grip on the light
In a blend of the senses

A five act play in your eyes
Hallucination on the rise
4 the dues i was paying when the blues felt the closest to the ledge
Hope 4 the dead & cope through the smoke & mirrors 4 the living
4 the dues that's been paid cause the blues felt true
& every set of eyes is read from the front to back cover
You don't know Haswrath as far as you can show 'em
You only know Haswrath as much as you owe 'em
You wanna know Haswrath, ask my brother

Lyrics:

looking back on this path
the past is full of bent spoons in the gutters
twisted herbs in motel rooms
women of the night & missing lovers
bodies growing cold on sidewalks wrapped in covers
at the same time every night the devil pull up 
he tell me that's what the temp do
you not here to tempt me i'm here tempt you
is what i tell 'em
Haswrath have em found the Christ within
to pay it back
like the day the rent's due
can't cheat the race
i rhyme at the edge of a cliff
what i got i got to give
all i need to take is a leap of faith
sirens in the midst of dealers making deals
that's just the sound of city
daps & pounds just to let you know
who's real & who's bullshitting
seek & you shall find / keep it Peace and it's all divine
the laughter of my children from past lives plays in the mind
that's just the sound of the most high moving through me




i say a prayer for the souls lost in the streets
i say a prayer for the cost of living it ain't free
this ain't freedom
showing love to the ones here & now
show love cause you never know when they could leave you
show love cause you never know they might need you
god just might call em home...





fighting spirits 
you know i learned to swing these fists
as long as the drums got that swing
that's my shit
seldom a lie leaves these lips
when I'm asked How you doing
speak light like leaves of trees in the wind
speak life cause you know it's a whole lot of death around us
Haswrath has wrath 4 Us
you know I'm maintaining
i can't front--it's all too much to get into right now
i'll save that light & make it mine when the stanza's right
Riot By Candlelight told me how it moves
Tribal Music told me what to do
sacred math paves this path since way back 
save the stash for a rainy day
i used to drink the pain away 
E&J had my mind flipping back & forth
now days belief & faith in my self gets me through
word to Kendrick you don't know grief til you know that shit sober
so alienated most of my life
all i could do to cope was stay faded
walking up the down escalators
got nothing to tell a hater
i stay on guard 
so i'm not surprised when they show up
i'm just trying to know this love
until my soul is dust

Lyrics:

Once Haswrath dreamt he was a butterfly, a butterfly fluttering about & around the skies. He knew nothing of Haswrath.
Then suddenly he awoke and he was at once solidly and unmistakably himself, Haswrath.
But he didn’t know whether he was a man who dreamt he was a butterfly or was a butterfly dreaming he was a man.
Certainly there’s a difference between Haswrath and a butterfly. This is what we call the transformation of things.

Reborn on beats with every rhyme
A dream within a dream with every day & night passing by
It's a lucid state to stay in congruence with the movement of space & time
Farther than mind can reach
Proverbs for the signs to read
When the truth fits like a pair of new kicks
Walking this way through the wasteland with grace he'll turn the water to wine
An amazing faith kept 'em afloat above the grime
Love is all, all is mind
You better run
When the guns keep the arms from making fists & swinging
When the funds keep the men & women from their human being

A dream within a dream
All compound things remain emptiness
Within these rented physics
The news that stays new
The truth that stays true

I woke up from a dream today..

The wu wei of my wings
Spills luminous across the sky
The transformation of things
Proves you don't got to die to live it
You don't got to lie to kick it
Word to Chris Rock & Ice Cube
Royalty among Hip Hop
G-d never did make a nicer dude than KALONS on the one & two
As he flutters & flaps his wings
Brilliant light in black & orange luminous hues
Reborn on beats with a better view
Adjacent to the streets for a decade place
He used to walk to the beat in the headphones
& he can't let it go
Now with one night's sleep he spreads the wu wei of his wings
Brilliant light in black & orange luminous hues

A dream within a dream
All compound things remain emptiness
Within these rented physics
The news that stays new
The truth that stays true

The wu wei of my wings
Spills luminous across the sky
The transformation of things
Proves you don't gotta die to live it

I hope you're receiving the message
One day we're all leaving
Like leaves of a tree, like pine cones to evergreens
Before it's back to the earth for me
It's Haswrath 4Us
With a song to sing as these seeds get sowed
Reap what you speak easily through a need to know
Knowledge reigns supreme
Know thyself & know thy power yo
Without peace how will the flowers grow
Before my time is done, i did the math
Based on the work of the scholars before me
Hopefully i'll leave a path of beats & rhymes behind me
Just an image lifted, taking it farther than it was gifted
Like water to Bisquick, no fathers to the style
Pulling a red card 4 grifters on vintage equipment
4 the miles on the kicks then
He didn't make it look easy
He made it necessary
Bless the beat by any means
So when it's time to rest in peace, it's time to rest in peace

A dream within a dream
All compound things remain emptiness
Within these rented physics
The news that stays new
The truth that stays true

“Intensity is collective, even when it seemingly manifests itself in a lone personality. 
Tradition is a dream, and he who does not dream cannot feel his own past, 
and he who does not feel the past cannot feel the need for the future. 
A dream is tense and tension is the prelude to action.”

- Richard Wright

on the shores of a fading memory (praying hands) lyrics:

who got the nukes and the troops on lockdown
who keep the faith in the face of hate 
stakes is high now
who got the guns and who make the guns
who make war for peace / who rape the land
who sold dope just to try to make it out
who hold hope like praying hands

who got the nukes and the troops on lockdown
who keep the faith in the face of hate 
stakes is high now

as much pain as living is
we need each other
it can't be said more plainly
i dream in color and keep it cool in HD
asking what would jesus do if he ain't me
that's high def
i grew up on wyclef and vivrant thing
still feeling like i'm half way home////
there's something in the way that you talk
when you bring the unseen to the light from the dark

who got the nukes and the troops on lock down


as much pain as living is
we need each other


no justice no peace
it's like they want us fight for it
who runs the streets
i pass the mic for it
who runs these beats
i give my life to this
precise vision
i found my light within 
the same frame
that got me trying to maintain
day to day

the energy i get from music
is sometimes the only truth i see
cause i remember the time when this was the only truth i needed

the name is haswrath / pleased to meet you
i feel like they trying to cease my people
from reaching our zenth
when i say they
you don't gotta act like you know
looking back at the past to learn from it
that's fo sho, as the world turns
once again it's haswrath / i earned my style
like a phoenix i rose from the ash
i burn one down with a few questions 
i'm supposed to ask



who got the nukes and the troops on lockdown
who keep the faith in the face of hate 
stakes is high now
who got the guns and who make the guns
who make war for peace / who rape the land
who sold dope just to try to make it out
who hold hope like praying hands

like praying hands


who got the nukes and the troops on lockdown
who got that youthful spirit / it don't stop now
hope comes from within / mind body spirit
like some smoke in the wind /
we didn't start the fire / just seen it burnin from the jump 
as the world keeps turning / call it what you want
no attachments to my desire / though sometimes i need to check myself
this text is stealth / i wrote this in the shadows of crack alley
still trying to make it back home in one piece
from killa cali where the villains rally
to the east where the sun rises
no compromises when it comes to the way the pen moves
nah i ain't tongue tied / in this prelude to a dream
i can't truly be happy until everyone has what they need

haswrath brought the bounce
respect my mind
before he / puts you in perspective in 4D
i let the mind hang out
like the signs they bang out
i don't have the time / i'll let time take you out
sucker MC's should bow before me
watch what you speak
i just hope my 3rd line is 20 hearses deep



who got the nukes and the troops on lockdown
who keep the faith in the face of hate 
stakes is high now
who got the guns and who make the guns
who make war for peace / who rape the land
who sold dope just to try to make it out
who hold hope like praying hands

like praying hands

on the shores of a fading memory (praying hands)
