Obedience (prod. Mndsgn)

Ink (Reprise) - Cavalier prod by Iman Omari

Verse 1
Before my head hit the deck for the final time
before my last flat line decreshendo
will I remember times of Hi-C's or flying high from E in the Benzo
Sentimental you get when the instrumental is wet 
from runny pens and blood shed in these ghettos
is it sacrilege to bring a gun to your temple
If I believe, in an impulse then I can achieve
Like how your pulse is set from the second you breathe
If it's six seconds til I'm on, then please
why it feel so long?  
We got our stars crossed, no constellations on Hollywood Boulevard
just consolations and hunnies with boob jobs
all of my songs are, blood poetry syringed
Thugs, homies, and kings, 
the holiest of holies in the stroke of his pen until it's singed 
the smoke off the tip of the dutch that's honey dipped
At the end of the good book supposedly we win, what?
A golden ribbon in the sky? 
I try to keep mine innocent like the glimmer in the kiddie's eye
but still vivid like bloody scissors, my imprint is like
my instinct to fly
whether sign or Solomon song it's insight
I write anything a Black man recite, "Let there be light..."
"Let there be light.."

Chorus 1
And thats ink, color your world, life still
in a rain puddle lay a bundle of pearls, ink
it's only real when it bleed through the page
or it burn through the bills
Ink
X2

Verse 2
Only separated by a room,
from a love I never dated in my youth 
blood and water nearly mixed the two
her sister wanted me to slay in the staircase like it was cool
I hesitated, months later already pregnant by some Haitian
wasn't hatin' on dude, when I was faded I remembered the moon
said "be patient"
That's how I knew, now I only wear blue to communicate
a vibration or mood
Every situation got a hue, the green got our eyes colored rouge
but the scenes got they minds in my tunes
Day 49 we form eyes in the womb, but we still live blind to the truth
You couldn't fathom how I go in
commune with the ghost of an old friend, 
to get clues known most by old men
Movements of the ocean, I'm in tune like two poles in opposing
joined at the root

Chorus 2
Ink, set freeze
Let it spill
Only when it seeps can you say that it's deep, it's ill
It's not a beat, it's a field
of dreams fulfilled, with ink
X2

Verse 3
Hard to quit, the heart of this marvelous novelist
in Central Park, sparking under the starts by the obelisk
This be my Shalimar, my parliament, I spit an ac
in proper pitch that keep me off the grid of cop reconnaissance
I caught a glimpse of it when Roderick
spit a verse to ease the hurt of his brother without acknowledgement 
or for the props.
You roll with the punches or get knocked
off of your rocket on some Rudy Tomjanovich
Even with these problems it's not obvious
no one's noticed the same matrix from the apocalypse 
powers Optimus Prime
knowledge I drop from droplets I jot
with ink blots, I ink plots that move minds
Cue the Phyllis Hyman, the blue bottle of Sapphire with a twist of lime
I slipped that moment in for the missing line
My skywriting hit the sky like lightning clears
Insignia clear, sincerely, signature; Cavalier

Chorus 3
And that's ink
a blown kiss and a wink
A moment for you to zone 
day of your last blink
Synchronizing, 
while the ink is drying
X2

Ivan Ave - Machines (prod. Mndsgn)

A nostalgic voyage into the late night. 

All things that have brought me to this point and time. Sleepless nights, soulful music, and a love for television.

Late Night Programming is all of those things.

DUE RENT [Blends]

lojii & Swarvy "due rent [blend]"

This tape is a journey though Chelsea Reject, the artist side of me that is all about taking my real life experiences and turning them into songs. I dedicate this tape to Brooklyn, Cap(s)ule, my supportive ass cousins, my friends and all the awkward black young adults like me. Our generation is golden so let's all do what we love.
