Scriptures [Prod. By Peace Manuel]

Till the World Stand's Still [Prod. By Peace Manuel]

With this track "Form of Reflect" we wanted to branch out and try something a tad bit different rather than us just having a verse by verse rap like you saw on First Amendment.  We wanted to reflect off each others bars and just have fun with this one, no particular story. Mainly just to try something different for the fans to vibe with and to have a perfect performance track on deck for a live show.

The Nature [Produced by Peace Manuel]

We began essentially making this project, "Perspectives of the Illusion" during the end phase of our first demo "First Amendment". At first P.o.I. (Perspectives of the Illusion) was just called "Perspectives". We went with the final title because my brother and I both were beginning to notice how different, but similar our stories in our rhymes are together. The perspective of both me and my brothers rhymes are often different because the way we both view and live our lives. When "of the Illusion" was finally conceived our minds mind, that's when the circle was completed. We want you to hear our perspectives of this illusion we are all living in. This is an honest critique of our modern day American society. The cover art says it all if you really take a while to look at it. Thanks a lot Ren, you really brought our vision to life. 

Making this piece was one of the hardest things we've embarked, but also the most rewarding. This project represents stepping stones toward the knowledge to become better producers as well as writers being not only Thetic and Peace Manuel, but Jimmy and Jake. We wanted to follow our hearts rather than fitting the mass appeals standards making this. There is still so much more to learn, perfect, and harness in our craft. This project also represents dedication that we had to have so we could see through that this project was finished. There were many times we didn't have a lot of time to create because of both of us juggling school and work, but we always stayed true to our hearts and Hip Hop so that we could say we did this ourselves and be proud of this work. We're mainly glad to be contributing to Hip Hop with a positive message to inspire others to follow their dreams and follow their hearts. 
Time takes perfection, perfection takes time. We hope you enjoy our perspective.

[Lyrics]:
Before you press skip,
be patient and listen,
both values gone,
in this generation,
look into the pensive 
as I peer into soul,
clout is for sale 
well consider it sold 
as you fit in the mold,
cant think for yourself, 
do what you're told
ambitions shelved,
as you trek the dreary road
the best has yet to come, 
the fire builds up,
the clouds conceal the sun, 
what have I done?
where am I to go?
darkness, ha
has enveloped all the globe,
watch the grim approach 
as he's draped in all black robes, 
emptiness of soul, 
man destroys itself,
through power hungry greed,
selfish society,
polluting air we breathe 
and we cant do a thing 
without them judging me
its okay,
embrace the hate 
to help create
lyrical production,
bred from destruction,
fed from troughs of consumption
capitalist pigs, 
thinking were so great, 
when people equal shit, 
not only you, 
but also me
cause ain't nobody perfect 
just accept all your flaws 
to be a better person, 
now approached by the serpent 
who begins to tempt me 
to go against, 
everything that I believe 
like he did Adam and Eve, 
forbidden fruits off money trees 
rebuking of the devils sin 
that we often commit,
temptation,
salvation, 
can we even save 'em
as we drop to their knees 
to pray? 
Feel the wrath of God,
products of humanity,
you scarin' me,
machines grind,
fumes collide sky,
pistols poppin' 
in the dead of night,
families in the street,
just couldn't make ends meet,
while one-percent eats selfish 
we eaten all their scraps 
hold up,
fuck that,
winner takes all
ain't gonna be no draw
watch the bodies 
hit the floor
as we heathens applaud,
if you listen close 
you'll hear the sawed off
as it pops off
I am the bee-bee's,
piercing through your body, 
you'd think I 
sold my soul 
from the stories 
that I've told,
watch them as they bluff 
no you'll never see me fold,
instead I go all in, 
a gust of inspiration,
it's breeze against my cheek 
watch as I stand tall
and I never meet defeat 
even when I feel so weak 
I always try to smile, 
cause I dont 
wanna be questioned
fuck your recognition 
validation 
ain't 
what I seek
I create for me, 
money, 
and my family 
outcast like some heretics 
they'll distort my narrative 
label me with arrogance 
I stay true as Polaris 
we're all sedated skeletons 
my lyrics all so relative 
a part of an experiment 
as sheep we're such fools
as we sat through their schools 
did we even learn?
or did we simply drool?
I lost Peace 
along the way
the virus ain't contained, 
ambitions are restraint,
we're infected everyday 
as they shatter 
all our dreams cause,
[all we know is violence
so therefore no peace,] (x3)
don't want your discrepancy 
cause I don't give a fuck
come clean
and get messy 
we in the Devils melody 
as he stirs us in the pot,
watch us all get got,
being shot up from a cop,
approached by the son of God 
reprimand, 
then I'm damned 
unity is understanding 
living with the difference 
so sick of the pretending, 
thinking you're so close 
when you really feel the distance
never say good riddance
to the lyrics that I'm spittin'
leave you chillin' 
no sleep,
for the wicked.

Hook:
As they look
What do they see
All of them things
That they want you to believe, yeah

[Put me in a box
Im a cog in the machine x2]

Verse One:
In rusted chains
Locked away
Cannot feel
No words to say
To be free
Is to be me
Reflections of smoke
The image implodes
My minds collapsed
I fade to black
My thoughts derailed
I live off track
Ain’t no lookin back
Memories I wish to forget
But they stay
Go away
Go away

Hook:
As they look
What do they see
Poverty
Grief
A daily routine, yeah

[Put me in a box
I’m a cog in the machine x2]

Verse Two:
Soul seeps page
Eyes fill rage
None of this real
I see through fake
Ghosts of past in
Front my face
What happened to James
Be real
Be genuine
Can’t be both
and then make a million
Blend like chameleon
Spirits of god
Embody my heart
Spirits of evil
Embody us all
Scandals
Like sandals
You a flip flop
I don’t even know
What to call this
Chop shop
I’m the Shinobi
Feel my katana
Slice off ya head
Cause boy you don’t
Want one
Not one problem
James success
can’t be less
Pistols clackin
Tanks be blastin
Psychos laughin
HAHA
Na
That’s just me rappin
BLAH!

Hook:
As they look
What do they see
Jealousy
Greed
Envious humanity

[Put me in a box
I’m a cog in the machine x2]

Verse Three:
It costs to live
Shit
it costs to die
To Speak my mind
Now be crucified
Get money
Live low key
Fuck the likes
Fuck the tweets
Slice the zeitgeist
Pray to Christ
You sanctified
While the planet melts
the children cry
To change the world
my worst mistake
Now I go my own way

Hook:
When I look
This what I see
Toxic bullshit
And a misguided society

[Busting out that box
in which they placed me x2]

Toxic Box

Here to spread a message and give you perspective.
