LYRICS
(Nox)
Minimal friends and a cynical bent
In my defense, I'm only here fifty percent
Gettin dense, witness many events
From innocence to descending into giving offense
Went there once, never goin again
So I keep my thoughts hidden from even my close friends
They know my trends, fish-eyed lens
Scrutinized iris awide anse
Strange thoughts, I ain't the origin
Only receive em from a demon or a djinn
Winnin grin nothing more than an ornament
Cracks in the visage, fracturin the porcelain
Bright smile belies a deep darkness
And black bile I been tryin to harness
Keep it chained in my basement apartment
Along with my brain when I'm itchin to start shit
Rough cut, I'm rubbin against grains
Fucked up, ten bucks to my name
Must just readjust the frame
Of this busted up and corrupted brain
My cortex set as the collective mess
Of intersecting sentences second-guessed
In regard to the marks and the scars on my flesh
They only seem to stretch when I start to flex

(AllOne)
I write when defensive like squid ink cloaking,
No joking, I think an Armadillo's my Patronus 
I'm a lone wolf in black sheep's clothing,
Tripping on misfortunes, caught in fear and loathing,
White knuckled handshakes, hands shake balled in pockets
Scratch my baldin' noggin sink social cues in corner pockets
That's my cue: Nauseous awkward sweatin' 
Hedgin' my bettin' my spirit animal is Sonic I'm guessin'
Roll up to the spot, Blue and in a ball too protective
God I'm pathetic, codependent code of ethics  
Costly expenses so invested so indebted
Sewn enmeshment owed to friendships 
Calm and collected to an uncommon collective 
Odd and depressive neurotic eccentrics, 
Heart is a heaven, art is our best friend, 
Lost in a head-trip like a Topiary labyrinth 
Nip the wallflower in the bud, faux gregarious
Social wariness aware of this paradox:
Nervous jabber jaw fact is I'd rather not talk, 
Clamming up shocked trapped on the spot and exposed
"The tacit folks you have to watch" the maxim posed,
No matter how it goes you're on the "radar" that's a palindrome
Z-lister, reach inwards deep thinker off in fantasies 
Reads into each whisper. Peace fingers (my apologies,)
Arms' length I keep kin with Reed Richards expanded reach
My minimal friend policy: they're family and they're quality.

Minimal Friends Ft. AllOne

Always Be With You

(Jon Jeremy)
Dear Family and Friends here we have in attendance.
We're here to honor this life that has tragically ended.
I said I wouldn't cry, but I think it's happening and it's
Got to stop so I can mention all the magic my friend did.
He was a great guy!
Dark, yet light and airy
Bright! Like his hair which was lighter than Guy Fieri's
And my theory's 
He lived life like Ares, the god of war
Even though Cthulhu was the god he swore.
On Soundcloud, Nox was king.
And his name in the rap game was an obnoxious thing.
He was a freestyle deity.
Maybe from the Pleiades.
When he wasn't killing rhymes he was playing D&D
The freestyle AND dungeon master. 
He would set the stage and then we'd plunge in after.
He was gentleman a scholar and a pungent rapper.
Cuz he was soaked in hip hop like a sponge, i can't... i wish he was still here...

(Chelsea Takami)
You're a part of me
You'll never really be apart from me
Soon you gon' see
I'll always be with you
I'm a part of you
A taste of my heart like soul food
Nothin you can do
I'll always be with you

(AllOne)
I'm at a podium unhinged, holding in histrionics
Quivering jaw goading dizzying loss history all nixed
Iconoclast odious sardonic ass trolling comrade
I'll miss my calm, rad odd friend, Elder Gods damn.
Here today, gone tomorrow, time we got is borrowed
He lives on in art though Nox was dark so,
He'd remind us all, “when lives are lost they're compost”
Minor blots advise we're dots in large scope,
Trying not to wallow still I find it hard to swallow.
An irreverent sense of humor, devilish clever monster, 
Jekyll yet less the doctor, intense as the Eldritch Horror
Incredibly fresh in concert an impeccable pen that conjured 
Dense sentences left to ponder, a dependable legend gone,
An immeasurable pressure on us, a testament to this author, 
A gentleman and a scholar of the Necronomicon
I can't accept that NOX is gone, 
He spread a special ambiance 
Left us all these songs so cleverly 
As I speak this somber elegy, 
Keep our thoughts upon his legacy
He will be with ya'll indelibly 

(Chelsea Takami)
You're a part of me
You'll never really be apart from me
Soon you gon' see
I'll always be with you
I'm a part of you
A taste of my heart like soul food
Nothin you can do
I'll always be with you

(Nox)
Thank y'all for showin up, showin love
At my funeral, please help yourself to the grub
Prior to cremation, I made arrangements
Caterin gourmet plates and they great-tastin
If you popped this tape in and watched this statement
It's obvious, Nox did not make it
Just another lost patient straight decayin
Now you're waitin near my grave to put my remains in
I have been burned, now I lie in an urn
Before I am interred, lemme just write you some words
This is Nox deliverin his finalest verse
So grab your glasses and drink like you were dyin of thirst!
A little surprise, I had em mix the food
With yours truly, and even threw me in the booze
You consumed me, so I'm stayin within you
Nox is never gone! I'll always be with you!

(Chelsea Takami)
You're a part of me
You'll never really be apart from me
Soon you gon' see
I'll always be with you
I'm a part of you
A taste of my heart like soul food
Nothin you can do
I'll always be with you

Sometimes when you get killed by a megacorporation, you gotta linger around for a little while to take care of some... business.

Talk about the Ghost in the Machine.

Lyrics, Performance, and Engineering by Nox
Beat by Tantu

One for the scalpel, two for the gauze
No painkiller, we are doin this raw
And who could ignore any natural law?
Me, when I'm wielding a rusty saw!
Don't mean to be a buzzkill but he said he was ill
And the blood spilled cuz he don't got enough skill
Just chill, gotta bust through the pus-filled
Vision of an unskilled fuck with a rough pill
Maybe the fucker has got a problem seeing
Carve some eyes like it's Halloween
Cutting a couple of eye sockets clean
The whites have turned to a rotten green
On the scene like an EMT
While you're blacking out EMP
Ready to shock the cardiac back
With a car battery for your heart attack

Hook x2
Can't give a fuck if you're takin a breath
I heard enough, I ain't been impressed
Makin the cut and I'm makin a mess
Ain't wakin up when I lay you to rest

Spit bars like you can't believe
Take the legs out from under you--amputee
So you cannot flee from a man like me
The master of massacre anatomy
And a fee for the feat I'm performin
Whether recordin or grabbin organs, not important
Shatter your bones like porcelain
Imma cut you off like a doc to to a foreskin
Fry your brain with X-rays
Best case you'll live to the next day
Prolly never get your head straight, every chess game
Is a "let's wait for the tenth straight checkmate"
Pick it apart like I been rippin the heart
From the critical parts with a clinical art
When the sickness starts on an infectious arc
I'm on it like a dog with a vicious bark

Hook x2
Can't give a fuck if you're takin a breath
I heard enough, I ain't been impressed
Makin the cut and I'm makin a mess
Ain't wakin up when I lay you to rest

I'm just an intern, I'm still learnin
Ain't a surgeon so your fate ain't certain
Don't debate or try to make assertions
Let's get to incisions and make insertions
I'm... returning you to the burn ward
Second degree from the heat when I perform
Barely passed my examinations
Losin patients to contamination
I'm an MD and an MC unabashed
Writin autographs on your body cast
After you're body's wracked, floatin on a raft
Of the blood when you're crashin your Pontiac!
I'm on attack and then I'm bringing you back
With the way I operate on a track
And I laugh at the fact that you actually have
The audacity that you could question my craft!

Hook x2
Can't give a fuck if you're takin a breath
I heard enough, I ain't been impressed
Makin the cut and I'm makin a mess
Ain't wakin up when I lay you to rest
