For Those who Know——170 BPM
HIPHOP 

Verse1
Going ——-blow for blow ————flow flow
check me out ——up and down ——-from head to toe 
yeah ——-and invisible crown ———for those who know 
ruler of the underground —-and I’m still —numero Uno
————More than rhymes and flows ——
the production you should know—-
Here I go—here I go—-illustrated ——-styles created
When skillzzz dominate ———hitting like a heavyweight 
Go on run for cover——- or stand —-and seal you fate
If Knees start to buckle—then it’s ——way too late
Try to stay on your feet——
check the hook —it ain’t weak
Without going too deep —-
I keep bringing the heat
Like 100 degrees bouncing off the concrete
Official and elite—-made for the street
Bob your head—snap your fingers —-or tap your feet
——————Aight—- that’s dope!—————-

Verse2
Toe tapping automatic no resistance to the groove 
this is how I lock it down——-come on ——bust a move 
coming through more direct——-like a Terror and Threat 
still untouchable like Elliot Ness 
dropping verse after verse without any stress 
what’s the word I’m looking for ——Ahhh… effortless 
the rest—just can’t connect ——i’m blessed—no disrespect 
throwing the music at your body —-so you gotta feel refresh

Chorus
The art is called —ability 
the craft is —-versatility 
who else—can it really be 
I’m holding —every single key
808’s —-just for me ——-to keep it—-sick though
When I’m burning up the track——just call me Pyro
ask me if  I’ll ever stop —-the answers still “Hell No!”
Underground 808’s ———kicking like a death blow (X2)

Verse3
As I sink into this mix —-don’t hold me ——let go 
And I got it all baby —-even ———if it’s retro 
balancing act ——equilibrium———if you -can follow 
that’s a hard pill -to swallow——now—- come on let’s go
Feel the vibe ——in your body  ———like an undertow
Tried and true ——-that’s the facts ———and you all know-the logo 
This is how I——mix and match —drink it up —it’s pure—mojo
—it’s pure—mojo

Verse4
Got that flavor for your taste ——with no limitation
delivery still ——-first rate ——without hesitation
Yeah—that’s the case —-baby————-— tune the station 
And—open up the gate——-for total inspiration 
one in a million ———born to  keep the tracks lit 
stone cold chilling ——-yeah!——that’s a Hattrick 
ace in the hole ———so you bet your bankroll 
if you’re mine for hip-hop ———you struck underground gold

Chorus
The art is called —ability 
the craft is —-versatility 
who else—can it really be 
I’m holding —every single key
808’s —-just for me ——-to keep it—-sick though
When I’m burning up the track——just call me Pyro
ask me if  I’ll ever stop —-the answers still “Hell No!”
Underground 808’s ———kicking like a death blow (X2)

Awakening

Cloud Scented Grape

man, the girl was acting crazy
eyes a little hazy
she escaped with her life
looked in the magic mirror
the demon creeping nearer with a ritual knife
drew the blood up through the fountain
scaled the wizard's mountain
and down through the sky
and she gazed a gazeless stare 
that chilled the summer air
and then she waited to die
man, the girl got into motion
and conjured up a potion
and she hid it away
cuz she knew the dude was coming
she couldn't keep running and living this way
she's a mean necromancer
a midnight dancer always getting her way
he's a mean mutilator, a slimy alligator 
come to take you away
crystal balls, enchantments, curses, and portals
damn us all to die or suffer immortal
in her hands the wretched tools for survival:
the commands of dead, unholy revival
man, the girl drank the elixir 
hoping it would fix her
yeah she needed to fight
so she summoned up a skelly
from the depths of hell she cast him out in the night
would the wizard hear him sneakin?
rotten bones a creakin as he entered the lair?
to the girls satisfaction
he fell for the distraction she cast out of thin air
in his claws he held the resurrected
and he saw his final moments reflected
as the girl stood behind the foul wizard
from this world and into hell she delivered
man, the girl she put him down

Man, the girl (and the electric wizard)

  This is a remix that Tez did of a song JJ wrote, and we released a couple weeks ago. He extracted the coda, expanded it, and mixed an ambient groove into it. Basically, he took the sweetest part of the fruit and made a salad with it. Everyone is doing the same thing they were a couple weeks ago, except this time what you're hearing has gone through the filter of Tez's brain. It sounds like almost a completely different song now, and a really fun ride at that. Tez is into ambient music, so this touches on that proclivity, too. When all heard it on Christmas day, we decided immediately that we wanted to share it with all of you. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it, and Tez enjoyed crafting it into something new.

Lyrics:

It was just yesterday
I felt you dance across my grave
Sent shivers …right down my spine
Made me remember the night we shared
Lilac wine ….
On the beach forever

If you call out my name
Will it be the same as yesterday
Coz those days,
Those hazy days are gone
If I call out your name
Will it be the same as yesterday
But those days
Those crazy days are gone

Was it so long ago I stood beside u on the shore,
You’d throw a stone and hide your hand
Sent ripples, through water clear
Across the ocean
And then the way you looked at me
Knife cut me open

Chorus x2

I miss those days
I miss those hazy days
I miss those days
I miss those hazy days with you
I miss those crazy days with you
Do you remember
Sent shivers right down my spine …. So here’s the lyrics

Knife (Hobocop x purpleclaire)

Sequel to Act 1. 
The Devil never fulfills his part of the contract.

Lyrics:
(Old timey religion opener)
Hey John!
Well, you need to wake up
You've been drinking top shelf corn liquor
With some prayer and some luck
It's time that you paid up
I'm the slumlord for your soul
I made some promises I could not deliver
Your love letters 
Return to sender
And that thing dangling between your legs
I never made it any bigger

Oh, the Devils mischief will never leave you alone
For those in the know
The Devil likes to sing falsetto
The Devil sings falsetto

That Devil mischief it won't leave you alone (3X)
You need a thousand souls
To pay me what you owe

Those bathing beauties
With painted on faces
They're now eating mayonnaise right from the jar
If you need me, I'll be drinking
Chivas Regal in the car!
I'm the monkey on your back
And if you get into a Devil contract
It's a pact!
That Devil mischief it won't leave you alone
(Fire breathing solo)

That Devil mischief it won't leave you alone (3X)
You need a thousand souls
To pay me what you owe

Choose another road
Walk another path
