Sight is what the right is
i been slighted ive  done spited
in spite of foresight and luck
ive done well for myself despite ya 

Eyes bad from them video games
thats what my momma told me and I believed the same
for most of my years how was i to know better
snow weather didnt dare go home with no sweater
In reality I lived inside a snowglobe
showed those images and thought that they were so close
in actuality my lack of depth perception
sabotoged my aspirations and i was making no growth
staying inside playing games of starcraft
and age of empires while the war that
really mattered was raging through my cranium
bad thoughts daily shoot em down titanium
even nowadays Id steal back those memories
where only the narrow path made any good sense to me
and i was blind to the connections like centipedes
	see what those years meant to me brrrp

Many moons passed like endless howling
blue moons nabbed and endless shouting
the full range of consistent mentalities 
fleshed out in full to put an end to the doubting
i reasoned that if i could see good blurry
thered be no reason why any should hurry
into commitments and interdependence
but in the resplendence I started to worry
things fell apart like pieces of a puzzle
and being a fool unaverse to clear struggle
I put on my shades and flexed all of my muscles
so that you couldnt see my eyes and the pain was subtle
but in the process I couldnt see either
the light was blacked out and nothing was clearer
id try to steer clear of functions with peers
cus when i got put in spotlight I was like deer
Dear world, next time we meet again
id pray that Id feel like old me again
and that you'd put me back in the top seat again
closed my eyes every night reciting pleas again

Ikarus- Sight

Verse 1: Ikarus

Fresh off a bottle, not coca cola
too busy for the fizzy i need a lift so the
bubbles in the liquid make me rounder than a lipid
but for the moment im zoning instead of feeling livid 

tired of being timid and compressed into an image
i realized my eyes really needed to live it
instead of just reading it sheltered like adobe
id rather break the zone they put on me, kobe 8

24 hours pass  i know that they still hold me
mental prison present im watered down like sobe
a tough swallow like a pill shaped elliptical
thats overkill though like a bill gates political

contribution causing constant confusion 
conveying ideas thatd give confucious a contusion
conducing blood to his head till he need a transfusion
tranquilize the mind instead with some common communion 16

Even Common’s level of concious I no longer can condone
Im trying to control the convolutions in my own dome
complex as tryna patch up the holes up in ozone
no comforts im concerned with imperatives like Kant’s own

grab a pale ale or reach for a console
Fighting virtual battles while I tickle my tonsils
About as neccesary for me as my index 
the other stuff I just cut em out, appendix 24


Lobuh

appendices remember me what good old days were memories
time passes like a centipede, we undulate through cheddar cheese
my ratchet steeze dead kennedys, we renovating endlessly,  (UGH)
i mix it up with ketamine nah fuck that shit, im mr clean

i only fuck with tryptamines, clear my internet history
my browsing hours mystery, my eyelashes be glittering
sad boys up in the limousine, roozt in that 9 6 camery
us rap folk, we family, beat bumpin like a camel be 8


joe subliminal
flow 
residual 
code
a spiritual
mode
empirical
lets not get these nicknames mixed up
a yung ikarus always drop the game changer
change up, always got the next game bub
my style like shaolin and 36 chambers
we out here wilin like in a rove ranger
we out here smiling like 
damn, these niggas came up 16

damn
these niggas came up
damn
im sugar cane what
im bruce wayne what
abel and cain though
no pain though
flow like babel 24

chorus

hmmmm
my soul is weak
hmmmm
my soul to keep
my soul to keep

Tomorrow (Cover)

Instrumental- Wifey by stwo

Monk

Let me impart a secret art
to make your speech reach
a person’s very heart, 4
a critique
of technique 
used by the meek, 
too weak
to speak 8

A structure for your dissertation,
to promote a better translation of your frustration,
helping you graduate your vocation
lend me your ear for my quotation 12

First,
Break the mold, forgo the mla style,
for something older yet more versatile,
cite no sources from explicit references, 
but implicit defences,
from around your hearts senses. 16

An aerial view of your most prized, your thesis in Ariel italicized,
2 inches of off the ground, to fully bring that surround sound 20

Your margins are marginalized for efficient material, 
songs consistently ethereal, milk and cereal. 
But all you need to care about is that their real,
giving off your souls proper feel 24

Set your page view to the sky, 
right click, and zoom in, 
hawk eye,See the verdantly green verdana of how we die
Calibrate your calibri to the wi-fi  28

Network name, 
tahoma
The password,  
your diploma 
Move forward and remember what your told,
underline and bold
highlight in gold, 
spellcheck, remold 32

Save as,
 sincerely 
to your hard drive, 
yearly,
Seed the torrent
peerly
write the description
clearly 36

You may be comfortable, on excel
you may know how to speak, how to spell
but the monk reminds you every now and then,
your soul is ink, your voice a pen. 40 

Lobuh

the monk is in the centerfold, he got the knowledge
to reach and speak to the hearts of men, we conquer them
and bring back love to the pasture
gotta close your eyes to even see what we after 4

no disasters, just the pure white plaster of the white out
finna have a night out its no night light when the lights out
mike tyson got a steady life, got a steady wife now 8

change for the better and it starts right here
pray for the world overcome our fears
pray for every person that you ever held dear
no matter what your race creed color religion 12

we all have one common mission
one beautiful blue ball of life floatin through space
all of lifes stories take place in one place 16

monday through sunday
were all gonna make it one day
were all gonna make it one day


Ikarus

three cerebral asians, call us cerberus
spit hot fire like sriracha sauce
minds confined to the fine lines of erebus
to escape i guess we got to get high as everest

every exit is an enemy of us
genes wear us down like what denim means to us
factory machines, they grind our dreams to dust
former fourteen carat gold and metal seem to rust

I fantasized at fourteen about a peaceful life
a castle in the sky with a princess at my side
a view of mundane majesty as sharp as eagle eye
and an end to any entropy by way of regal might

eventually i learned that I had no legal right
and my vision was missing in capatalistic peoples eyes
my perception began to change by the way of evil lies
and i yielded to street lights and stopped to heed the signs

Romanticy still had a nice ring to it though so 
Stubborn me became obssessed like Smeagol might
until I realized that to make my own bubble
I had to inject the world with my blood 
like a mosquito bite


Water ft. Monk

Instrumental:  Cayabyab - Departure (Nujabes Tribute)

Ikarus

lobuh saw god I saw the devil.
He said its a long way to the bottom. Neville.
I said no wrong way to the bottle. Revel.

Dont bet against me you don't have implied odds
You the nine to one dog.
Go work a nine to five job.

call me the rooster or call me the birdman
lazy rhyming, call that vulturing words man
too chicken to go cold turkey it hurts man
id rather go HAM like Im sporting no shirt tan

the bird flew like H1N1
Past the cuckoos nest and then some
say I shoulda packed up and went home
they didnt understand it was a migration

to better weather and greener pastures
to fuffiling passions with pads and practice
away from passive pastors of past years
concerned with patterns and obssessed with past tears

gimme a pad thai or maybe a paneer
or maybe a six pack i wanna have it all
afraid that if i dont ima pass it all
like ill pass the ball like in basketball

instead of shooting high fuck it if i miss
thats what the backboards for 
muah bank it with a kiss
nothing dank as this
my shots dank as shit
go grab a hankercheif


Lobuh

Aren’t you tired of that trip you been living in
you trip me up a girl
a far cry from innocence
A far cry from home is abroad like where venice is
catch me in italia wolfin down some venison 4

sheep in the wolfs clothes but the shepherd ever vigilant
third eye blind I guess thats why they call me illidan (UGH)
know that we killin it, level six ultimate got me feelin it
in the river styx 8

with my homies and we too legit
ganking unsuspecting ignoramuses
put your cursor up to where the cadence is
15 minutes and it pains me to say this quick
gg
I already copped a radiance 12
