[Chorus] [2x]

Glisten city start, weather coldest part
Put your place on map, paint or camera flash
Strike a lack of sleep, gather in a peace
Sip to drink the sea, poet's mingling
Woodland spirit, caught at a standstill
Flattened steppe, hardened like anvil
Calling to drift from this principle wind
When my journey ends, another begins

[Verse 1]

Ring of fire, go ‘round, trace the plating
Cut across, 3 6 to 180
Slash the beast that breeds a new hatred
Altered means hit task with a patience
Weakness perceived, eye to eye dissonance
Wrote the heart out, in fear it of getting bent
Small Boeing floating, stratosphere’s car
So low key, no key, push to his start
Hang onto dear life, slip from a crevasse
Citadel mantra to landmark a premise
Spawn point, that would lend out a hand
Ever from then on, he penned out a plan
Diverged spread routes, many are skewed
Sometimes I revisit bliss of my youth
Calling to drift from this principle wind
When my journey ends, another begins

[Chorus] [2x]

[Verse 2]

Pod of whales, I view from above
Thousand-foot drop, look but don’t jump
Carve out a cliff, resembles a school
Valley below, fear and awe fill up pool
Wander the cityscape, lights in a row
Driving North ‘til it’s not driving no more
Had to write these all away from my past
No place for a growth with a comfort that lasts
Netting, netting, netting, netting sum
Fishing all these zeroes, losing one
If soul meant world, will this money do
Looking back into the eyes of a younger you
Places await, keep forging on
Dreamer’s fate, yet to be reveled in song
Calling to drift from this principle wind
When my journey ends, another begins

[Chorus] [3x]

Peredvizhniki

[Verse 1: K-Ciz]

Birthed into surf town, I feel like I'm Earthbound
Work with a pertinence, internships weren’t sound
Screen flagship, premier emblem to be launched
Hold the golden bear dear, rock but I don’t flaunt
Departure for finer setting, scripture from minor ebbing
Forgetting the dream, that, I don’t see self ever letting
Flourishing arts counter a motion to gentrify
Two trees, overlook seas, socialite Gemini
… A 5-tool rhyme like McCutchen
Kids they Medellin, ain’t finding purer substance
Cynics repeating start moving trials to see me
You deal though my eyes are keyed, locked onto a bigger reeling
Dead end is excellence, forged in chemistry
Lips spit wisdoms in my sleep in dozing dentistry
Folks join arteries, rather form capillaries
Those opposed mark silence as the worst adversary.

[Verse 2: T. Kane]

My creativity is not always nativity
Write bars to promote sensitivity
I feel it lingering, like brokenness is kin to me
Even more, the son of man is King to me
Never been a sin to eat a wack rapper
So I stir the pot, take a taste, then I feast after
Aiming right at your MPC with an EMP
Bringing light to the dark just like a 3MT
I'm from the West Coast the best coast
Don't mess around 'cuz we test most
Breakfast connoisseur, so we test toast
And Scooby Doo fanatics so we test ghosts
Smell that ocean breeze, never say bye
Me and K-Ciz the protein, whey fly
it's just a vibe, when you see the sky
Imma chill in Southern California til' I die.

Sea Strider (feat. T. Kane)

[Verse 1]

Take heat, for where you ‘bout to go is cold
‘Cuz when we set it, then the trend is, never, getting old
From what I see, kids couldn’t tell
A man-eater from a seal or a beluga whale
In this life, two types, hope that you prevail
We ice break, embark on land, continental scale
Are we but metal scraps, will we all advance
If you can’t take the reins then y’all better dance
Takin’ a chance on the Ciz, you’ll find we work in shifts
Freezing various beefs to get to work on better riffs
Taking out by storm what we consider has beens
Criticize this, quantize amount ten
To say mind sharp would be reach-ing
Like reasoning with a meat cleave
Man us 3 brutal, upper level as usual
Walking on planes, right, that are now new to you.

[Chorus] [2x]

This tribe thrives, heat up a kettle
‘Cuz each guy fly like a dog on his kennel
Or an eagle, fresh prince, so you woulda thought Philly
But it’s So Cal, I’m pretty buoyant if y’all feel me
Head on a swivel for those shaded as Ray Bans
No one gets in, ‘less the foxes like Megan
Started lead off, meaning doubles on second basis
First 33% of some crooks y’all couldn’t hang wit’.

[Verse 2]

Ill-formatted, doormatted, all the same
Kindness is weakness when everyone’s your friend
Shot down for lyrics, with depth there’s no clearance
In presenting the spirit there’s importance in appearance
A science in laughter and a romance thereafter
In meeting halfway, there aren’t any flags to capture
The passive inactive can never format a standard
Get up, get out was just your close ones being candid
The cyclic beast rendered, a deal a never ender
Wax out the panning to bring about to center
Out to my right highway railing stretches slower
Dream is nearing but my heart is getting colder
Was I just spawned here to milestone a greatness
Before I knew the game on just a frontage road basis
Peers honed in skill, I squandered in task
Left with a blanket, my youth hasn’t passed.

[Chorus] [2x]

Aeseason

[Pre-Verse]

Dear K-Ciz, pray you never take the bait
Pencil in your thoughts, let your vision stay awake
You landscape a couplet, your fate shapes terrains
I sift, I sail, through comfort and gale
Down on yourself, one can never stop churning
Adopt that this life is an adapting and learning
Your technique is weak, but not an obstruction
Shining from the depths, late in bloom are you roughy.

[Verse 1]

A basic strategist, my style is analogous
To those I lapped up, throughout histories challenges
I would wake in a day as a means to achieve
In the worldly journal, straightening out every crease
Greatness, remains, a staple of humanity
A just ruler’s will, the soldier who rides gallantly
City from a shard with resource in excess
Art, science, and kindness linking as nexus
As life endured, my vision had blurred
Raising my own became my own central surge
I wasn’t moving up, though a stigma never present
A self-awareness brought about a loss of effervescence
Alone on this boat, in warmth and in cold
Whether debtted or profit, I just keep to these offerings
Challenge ambition, keep truthful with your palette
Think of what’s to come, in pursuit of your talent.

[Chorus]

I wrote this in advance, so when you felt down
Your finest spark, would become, reaction to sound
In company are few, this passage it twists
Start now, what another day will come desist.

[Verse 2]

With a time to reflect, the caster conjures regrets
Don’t fear for the day upon which death’s linens set
Looking forward, fearing, a time you’ll look back
Dream state to street scape, I know you’ll push that
Creation self-sustained, with, without mark
Showing poise of Saint, some of Mako shark
Run with the crowd and you’re bound to get caught up
Outside, misguided, with ethics of a starter
I write back in earnest, all I’ve fallen short
The grandiose canvas these words were searching for
That my state resonates, with a strive for longevity
In the one way to fortune, keeping close ones as family
Folks’ll run at glimpse of dying light
Folks’ll step on own in hopes of flight
Of the setting sun, in capturing the twilight
Yours and always yours, a guidance in hindsight.

[Chorus]

Roughy

[Verse 1]

I sort out anomalies, notice in pluralities
That these whys start to make way for I’s with ease
A groupthink of me, societal irony
We lie here idling, exalting the piloting
A willful ignorant, I cast out a truth
In observing the cycle, preserving our youth
A thousand suns unanswered, scattered on a canvas
Viscous, limitless, existence at a bandwidth
Serpentine, words that mean, more than they appear
I sit back and ponder on the life that drives a steer
Thus we observe, seeing nerves, adhering to change
Adapt, not reenacting, same two trips to the bank
Yet the mind pains, in obscure ways, like a tooth strained
For the new age, analogue for a dope e-scape, and a longing for deep space
Evasive but I brake quick when these obstacles come at me
Student turned to truant, I produce then commence acting.

[Verse 2]

Signing a deal, life on ice moon reveal
What got us this far are still defined in the stars
A creative path to build a currency stash
Awaiting a day in which a solace will last
Undertake on rebuttal, my mind rides on muscle
20,000 leagues and still searching for treble
Futile is not a thing, as such we forge on
The feudal knight fights for those below and above all
Sudden is the hunter that details my form
20 years later and they still check the score
I guess rightfully so, my house is intact
Excuses to avoid a growth refuge in that
On gaze it’s all level, this rock it just floats
Whirling up storms yet we set to see to boats
The conquered man, meets conqueress
In appeasing both, working double shifts.

[Verse 3]

The rhythmic in flight, adjustments on sight
A barometer fluctuates but we’ve yet made our dive
Young broke off with kin, young held so much in
Dealt with a loss but with little progress from it
I find myself beached, I’m spit back to sea
Question my worth, while birds climbed themselves perched
But that was back then, ink runs out of pen
I channel a platform in the hearth of my den
People breathe, trust and see, synergy
A soul depraved, making waves, is entering
Dimensions untouched, control they see fit
A creator in grace has no reason to shift
A swarming of beasts climbs down on that cliff
The former feeding from what the latter gives it
Midas, frightened, by this, gift
Fortune, conscience, left in rift, but a glimpse.

Nicene

[Chorus]

K-Sun, shine like, bodhi tree
Deck out, cruise at, no one’s, speed
Gold in games, watch me prove it
Triforce, link up, like a, Cuban
I remember, at the house progressin’
Loaded, check-in at the Smif-N-Westin'
Yungie, Yungie, need to take the reigns
Be it, via, cloud sleigh or king.

[Verse 1]

Palette so fruitful, in its colors lie seeds
The arduous path can make a sorry man leap
Looking on back to meet some venomous locks
Can only breed hardness in a guaranteed stop
A bitter me, bettering, in earning my lettering
In some parts I’m not here, don’t feel like ketamine
Pulling from high tides, connected with light waves
Watered down upbringing, like it was cascade
Built from the ground up, shocked you get ground up
Your way to ground us would just be to crown us
Sounds that entice, in a fight couldn’t bite
‘Cuz what some kids dish out really is tripe
Taking what isle give, Crusoe on this bid
Stranded, candid, know you can’t win
Basking in styles, yeah, for those mentioned stand out
Cosmo means all out, rain checkin’ plain drought.

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]

Strength of a windmill, craft a mystique
Shout out to kinship, young Thes and Technique
Venturing west in contesting the platform
Outfitted Robson, matters to Matterhorn
Coastin' the 1 South, ‘til after the sun down
Ills of a trained thought, about to get run down
Moving the people, channel Shadrach, Badass
When tryna wife up, seek a class act, ass clap
Time is short, need to organize sake
When graced with a shot, rapping all that it takes
Risk the gambit, win the parlay
Your Zhang Ziyis, your Janelle Monaes
Fight the civil case that pleads to settle
Astronomic course began as dabble
Neon wave, dark night, give a city, start life
Brisk wind, moon light, signal to a, new fi.

[Chorus] [2x]

Axiom/Breakthrough

[Verse 1]

K subtle, meaning lies beneath rubble
Bell tolls for sell souls, to hell with shuttles
I mean trouble, on average couldn’t fathom
6 feet deep, but existence still tacit
Style is tight, can’t take lids off cases
Closed for you, lose Holmes, can’t bank off K-Ciz
Your hype is, high-pitched, short lived with brevity
Our rhymes compact but we don’t reside in density
Flow submerged, immersed, can you handle though?
Opposing Citadel, style straight reprimandable
Root of whack is lack-ing transcendental
X amount of hits is decadence on your rental
Sizzlin’ tracks few felt were too cool for
From wish wash and dish wash came a long way from lukewarm
Lyrically gifted, commanding presence like Otto Von
Battleship equipped, only ones left on the Autobahn.

[Chorus]

A sight to see, could not decipher these
Kid’s lyrics mesmerize like the phifer leads
Blood runs deep, drawn up like the Ivy League
You better pay in advance for what is not a commodity
K-Ciz shaded, untraced on the come through
Establish a pace a select few then can run to
You false Somalis seek a light that is pyrite
The future is nigh, highlighted night and a high-rise
Copyright, patented
Resurrecting Hannibal like Patton did
Child reincarnate, doppleganged to a saint
So what is life being when you don’t recognize fate
The sleight is high but the plate is full
So the hope he stays pure at the turn of the wheel
From king to pawn to all, this rookie has jumped
‘Cuz a stable life, in his mind, had never stuck
A fear for the worst, extremists devise a plan
A guillotine of fiends, embedded in pride of man
I construct these, justly, ‘til sacrifice gives heart
A moment of awe upon the sinking of Bismarck.

[Verse 2]

Young rider, could never describe me in entirety
Seek entire piece, tireless, the whole that is driving me while writing these
Float below the ocean, 9/10ths of Poseidon
Orchestrate the current and I take charge like a pylon
Excavate Kuwait, the more deep the more heated
These bees and moths have nothing on us behemoths
Stepping up to us will cause you to see yourself dismembered
Roastin’ up your crew like it’s the 4th week of November
Finding out in many years who wanted it most
Bravin’ out the 90’s, Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz
Down a cedar, replace seed with saw
Down at the marina, started seeing it all
Thrive at night, but I radiate,
Try and aviate, y’all nubes,
Think I’m too weak? Y’all just too dazed
Won’t last two days in this new age.

[Chorus]

Bismarck

[Verse 1]

…Slow Progression in a haste
Attempts to keep straight in this altered state
Longevity, Acclaim, Influence, Status
Elixir of spirit, issued in payments
Through sentence and passage, birthing of a jade
Bred for sustenance, embodiment of trade
In seeking a freedom, to set out on motorbike
Reality sets in right on cue with a stoplight
Glacial in stance, I greet death like a stonewall
Adjusting to heritage, conducting life’s protocol
When dealt the wealth, feeling no longer natural
Temptations they beckon and they deal out in task force
Illustrating gems for others to dig towards
Try reaffirming truths if pushing nothing else forward
Please believe, the source from which you may remedy
The dream state Citadel’s tales play out like melodies.
