Mark: I need to go back to sleep...
When it's time to go to sleep I'm a phenomenal dreamer/
I sync in the scene blurs with real life an the reverse/
collide and then return than the visuals emerge/
when in my dreams, "word", can't predict what I'll see first/
Sometimes I be at work putting stock on the line/
other times I be at work with... Optimus Prime!/
an I'm just like lets bounce out at the drop of a dime/
then we roll through the streets like this world is mine/
In the city getting dinner Megan Fox on my side/
then out the corner of my eye in walks Optimus Prime!/
 an I'm just like lets bounce out at the drop of a dyme/
not even sorry a lil' bit, later Fox I'ma ride!/

Optimus Prime: My name is Optimus Prime
I Know! We gon' roll out and keep it poppin tonight/
An if we see Decepticons we gon be popping'em right?/
OP: Later.
riding on, you give me confidence Prime,/
that I can do anything...Maybe go to Cybertron?...
OP: Much later.

Chorus:
There I go, there I go, there I go.
I'm lost in my mind with Optimus Prime
Cherish those marry moments where spoke
Transform and roll out!

V2: Before I got baptized made my promise to God,/
before that night when I found hip hop to survive/
I was at the fight with the Autobots on the line/
in my dreams with my main man Optimus prime/
It was difficult living through a hostile environment/
The Kids in school would ridicule the attire I arrived in/
 I was sitting cool but didn't pull the price off my items when/
Bully: Marks got Thrift store stickers on his pants/
Skip you guys, I'm out of here, I've not got the time/
B: Yeah Your out of here, Mark come on it's obvious why/
 your pants already put you out, a dollar 25/
Man whatever, I'm gone, I'm not with the vibe/
I went home and hit the bed, sad, sobbing, and cried/
Fell asleep, then in my head Optimus Prime/
Said "Mark, Cybertron", its finally time/
Yes Telaatron 1 launch to the skies/

V3:My pops was never around he was a slave to his job,/
He spent all of his time out getting paid to provide,/
I never really knew him now until late in his life/
So in truth my moral campus bound with Optimus Prime/
I grew up with a cousin Mark, around him and I/
Would Be at my house getting down with robots in disguise/
For hours building town's setting up most of the time/
Where The original finger gun was made homed and designed/ pew pew
We Hung tough as ninjas bow staff and some sai's/
supporting each other through our families tumultuous times/
In so many shenanigans I don't know how we're alive/
He taught me how to dream, you just don't open your eyes/
If you wake up, keep'em closed and most of the time/
You'll re-enter the same dream controlling your mind/
Then he told me about his very own Optimus  Prime/
Sparking the catalyst that would then adopt into mine/

Hoop Dreams:
I'm dreaming of living, living the dream/
Dreams invent visions more vivid than it can particularly Seam/
some horrific with it's scene others blissfully serene/
the mind is a wonder, discover what image really means/

out like a light  flaring, eyes in rem the world turns/
paralyzed from the chemicals while the neural learns/
 your inner most dimensional memory internal/
convert redistributes, add chaos, an the worlds merge/

game 7 NBA finals I know the motto/
it's all on the line now instinct's triumphs survival/
cross through the pick, slide out, then pass to the big guy down/
low he hits the backboard swish, we're tied now/

midway through the night now, moon high in the sky out/
with temperatures low death is lurking like night owl/
Elec circuits fried out, simmering, in the  meanwhile,/
Ambien's in our system... there's an ignite sound/

times down running no more time outs on our side now/
Its hot, sweat in my eyebrows, I wipe the wetness than I browse/
I Look to my left I strive down, with only seconds of time now/
I put the ball in the sky the audience is alive now/

They Had A Blast Part 7/8: Optimus Prime-Hoop Dreams (Produced By TapDaddyBeats)

(TapDaddyBeats Cypher submission 013022)

Meet Marcus, he has type 1 diabetes 
And like others with diabetes, every day is a real struggle to churn through to the next.
I'm sure many have ailments they suffer and dwell with
But this is Marcuse's story, I'm going to let him tell it.
Marcus: I just need to feel Ok...

Chorus:
Everyday every night, follows shock an surprise
(Time passes)
This body that hosts my soul it also Plots my demise 
I'm getting older, my bones hurt Somehow I survive 
(Older you know)
With wretched diabetic genetics I don't know how I'm alive
Everyday every night, follows shock an surprise
(I don't know how I'm going to make it)
This body that hosts my soul it also Plots my demise 
I'm getting older, my bones hurt Somehow I survive 
(Older bones, a smiling face are vacant)
With wretched diabetic genetics I don't know how I'm alive

Verse 1:
I only think about it 25 hours a day/
How to keep my biological balance from outer space/
When I wake up to elevated numbers "wow" that's great/
For the next 3 hours my brain's running cloudy and drained/
I inject medication through a syringe to counter the strain/
Of this free loading pancreas that never helps out with the range
Every day it's a bout to maintain levels while its insane
The American healthcare system is a palpable shame 
You see, I don't follow a diet, it's a way of life I live/
If I don't kick carbs and sugars I die it is just what the cycle is/
A downward spiral, Mark doesn't get to Retirement/
In 19 years I'm benched mired and denied my Kid-/
neys where the rest of my days I'm tethered to dialysis/
Where I'm only tired all the time, my analysis/
 the reason the word even starts with Dia now is this
You're at the end of your road of life with your mileage spent
You've unwound your mortal coil, the twine been clipped/

You have to understand I don't want a bite of your sandwich 
Because I'll have to insulin up, it'll disrupt what I manage
I wish you could see from my vantage to understand it
But you can't, at-least keep my prosthetic leg after they amp it
And I'm dead in the ground where my only companionship is affection of maggots
Sorry if that went a little melancholy, we've got another verse...
Cheer up...

Verse 2:
Longitude or latitude couldn't map my erratic moods/
Wake up in a panic due to my Glucose is in the can, I move/
Down The stairs grab the handle you've gotta' hit the kitchen pantry soon/
My body is shivering dripping in sweat in immanent death as I crash the room/
Acting off instinct an animal, sort of similar to An abandoned wolf/
who'll gnaw off his very own hand & foot,
to free himself from the trap and book
I'm Grabbing Bananas and candy load, packing glucose, into my mandible/
Just Waiting for it to kick in like an antidote 
Should probably insulin again to cancel the o-
verload, I've never tried any dose of  crack or coke/
But withdraws from having lows I imagine that its close/10
Meanwhile I'm standing disrobed in my underwear Manic opposed
Did I mention my mother in laws in the room apropos/

(Camera pans swish)
You ok son?

Uhhh.... (look down, walk out of scene)

Outro:
When the Doctor told me the prognosis of/
Diabetic it hit like Nagasaki/ Hiroshima /
Of my immediate family, those I love,/
 who else would draw this straw of high glucose in blood?
None, Thankfully, I'm the only one/

Kick rocks genetics. The Randall strand of diabetes dies with me!
You don't end me, I end you!

This Slaps (Prod. By TapDaddyBeats)

(Submission for TapDaddyBeats Cypher 052222)

Chorus:
Looking at the stars from a far in the sky today/
wondering why good understood tries to shy away
No matter how hard on my part Ima Find a way/
To Continue pushing hard to Embark on Brighter day/

InitiativeMark:
Searching for the precipice of what heaven is/
While in this vessel for which my thoughts and breath emits/
Is hope a premise with sorrow imminent/
Or a condition my mental lobe tends to benefits/
Searching for joy, or its mental equivalent/ 
Meanwhile I Toil in this abyss of Ambivalence/
The rosebud of growing up a citizen/ (Citizen Kane bars, I'm old) 
Can (Kane) I Foster the jigsaw comfigure its ligaments/
To form the image of bliss, contour picture it/
But coordinates remissed in the GPS for the trip/
"Gps signal lost" All aboard content no more with it/
As a 41 year old orphan reforming his/
Life that's been horribly uprooted and Torn to bits/
When fire sets forth through your entire orphanage/
 you're mired by corpses, yet for their bequest/
There's nothing more important then continuing forward, live./

Jepotastic:
Standing at the precipice pursed my lips again/
landing with a miss is worst a slip and then/
recoil into joy i'll find from grippin when/
the toil of preserving self wakes up adrenaline/
serving up autonomous gut responsiveness/ 
i'm climbing back hand over hand on strength this vine gives/
this item's lack of slack a stranded sink for fine fists/
aligning what's inside the mind to how this life lives/
_or rather _what could be if i connected/
_another _viewpoint not readily accepted/ 
_uncovered _by other ideas rejected/
now selected and directed unprotectedly projected/
staring at the dreamy screen full of my mind themes/
sparing not a seeming gleam pull up a blind beam/
courage to the mindless consciousness of rhyme scheme/
assurance like i've never seen here and i come clean/

I'm a zombie for you love but inside I'm still alive
Know I'm longing for your touch, I think about you every night
I'm a zombie for your love, teeth come out  with every bite
and without you in my life, just know that I feel dead inside


Im craving your frames touch in a way i'm estranged/
I fell in love with you for your looks but salivate for your brains/
Could not escape from the pain just a slave to the change/
Taking away the only sustenance i maintain to Sustain
You.../
For which is the reason my Heart would beat in my chest/
your the key to my breaths In allegiance from breathing i pledge/
leaving me left completely dead i grievously step/ 
in the streets in distress creeping decrepit Leaking my flesh/
Every reach in my steps for perusing a meal/
We were the best, the void in me reflects how Loosing it feels/
So I'm Consuming these humans until the room in its filled/
Leave'em in a Ruinous spill like what you went an built/
Out of our union it kills me knowing your beautiful still/
A cure for your illness isn't found in pharmaceutical pills/
Or a virus, Without you in I'm falling apart/
That's not just a turn of phrase, I've literally lost my arms./


Since you set this fire my desires relentless
I'm inspired to diet on my cadaver an finish
As if there's a limited time required to begin once 
bitten from the bite the vitals expire in minutes

Why your delicious *slap slap slap*
Is that an iron deficiency
While lower, the irony is with me
Without allure I earn da Fish in sea
huih...
I was sick of Arguing over our pancake drama
So I guess it's my fault you've been absent minded
cus I Syrup'd off the top of the head like Ante Jemima
or Mrs. Buttersworth, for what it's worth
you're the reason I shuffle the Earth stuck in a curse
Zombie!

"Honey, you don't need a condom, Im on my pills honest"/
3 weeks later your pregnant, for real you con'd him/
that stooge was me I felt my heart stopped when/
you broke the news, I almost passed out like John Stockton/
fooled once shame on you, twice a problem/
3 kids later feels like my life is an abomin-/
nation, if I had dreams I forgot'em/
While emily resembles off spring of adoption/
using kids as a weapon is kind of rotton/
while I sleep you hold'em over my head high and drop'em
"you chose her" is the line my mom says/
truthfully me making mistakes is not uncommon/
I thought having braids one day was awesome/
I used to sag, how'd I escape if cops come/
what I'm saying is that there's a happenstance/
that I make mistakes, and you're like baggy pants/

Hook:
I'm leaving here, I'm gone, I said I'm leaving here for good.


it's been awhile Sarah, since we parted friends 
I see you're in the water swimming as a shark again
I'm still waiting for bruses to wayne (Bruce Wayne), scares to mend
The jokes on me you duplicitous Harley Quenn 
I was burned by you, while your out hurting hearts again
Who knew my first flame would turn into an arsonist/

  follow your presence how you wander with peasants, 
and The scoundrels you slept with, I'm not clowning your exes/
 but  you really Lowered the bar now that's espec. Since
When you went down to the bar to get barred down, Tetris/

F1pole position  for moolah-you know
formula uno, the cards that you show
They All in your Draws 4, why you getting blue though/

Oh and Thomas I Follow his timeline
I seen you planned a trip, you'd land before tom
Meanwhile his boy saying you should Try Sarah top,/
It's hella good, I'll tell you what 
Sarah gives long neck like Littlefoot.

You're not a dead beat cus your vocals are high dude,
You're a deadbeat because you wont to provide food
For Brish an Emily it'll be some time you've 
Been away. Weapon! I was trying to set'em besides you/

I should pick up the phone send the police to go Find you
Pull you into the precinct  will Get that cheese like a fondue 
I hope you like living with your mom whose/
 a stankin ass bitch, just like you/

Punk ass, I should send both my brothers to touch you
To punch you and double Dutch your body when you come to/
They'll have stomped so many mud holes in your lungs know
Your new nick name in my phone'll be Puddles/

Yeah I'm stalking your sound cloud and the songs you allow out
Pretending you Indy in the game, digital pow wow 
Just trying to be liked miced literally about now
You couldn't fill the shoes of Lil' bow wow/
So roll bounce out and crash your whip/
I heard your batman flip, Mark you ain't rappen slick/
You got the dog piss beat out you after an argument/
By Tom When you two faced like Harvey Dent/
And There were only two hits involved with it
Him hitting you and me making a song of it/

How dare you slut shame, when the whores you play with
To give business, no matter how coordinated 
LoL see (LLC) what I'm trying to sort of say is
The cum panties (companies) you keep aren't incorporated

You Make love like a Unic on Viagra
 u knick when you stab brah
A Lost mail with no package
Unlike you, To get my point across
you could never be accused of sexual assault... in a court of law

And since you like to cut the beat off in your songs...
What would Jesus do if he where you
He'd nail his hands and promptly return a Hebrew
Translation, what does that mean for the God

 he would beat off with the holes in his hands and cum quick like an obedient dog.
If he were you... You scum bag.

Rockets In The Sky 76 (MHH Cypher 4- Prod. Fliori DS)

Back around 2007 my Xbox 360 red ringed for the first time. I pulled out my PS2 from the closet to look for the masterpieces I had yet to play. One of those gems is timeless classic Shadow Of The Colossus. Upon finishing it, my brain exploded in inspiration. I immediately wrote this song. But due to life circumstance, I never got to record it. Today I gave it a shot. It is about Wanderer's first enemy encounter in the game.

Lyrics:
I approach the Minotaur slow, with my sword and my bow/
moving forward I go to enforce my blow/
it eclipses the light, fear hits from the site/
I have never seen a creature this big in my life/
As I wander from behind, trying to conjure in my mind/
if it lives I can kill it its the honer of design/
this mission is for her the battle is not mine/
for Mono I now stand in the shadow of colossi/
I jump to his leg he doesn't observe me/
fist wrapped in his fur beginning my journey/
remove my sword from its sheath just to concur this beast/
and with all my might bring this monster to his knees/
 I climb from his calve and race to his back/
and then from his back find a place to attack/
don't fall is my motto, he's balancing on his feet/
trying to shack me to the bottom so he can demolish me/
I remain on though my grip is getting weak/
his pure strength and energy's simply beyond belief/
 I gotta move faster my stamina is at its peak
So I travel to his head where achievement and heavens meet/
 "I'm standing on his crown there's a siegel on it now/
Blue radiance is profound cerulean all around/
I think I found the place I clutch my blade out
And with all my strength I thrust my blade down/
Blood throttles all about he hollers out load a sound/
No pondering on it now raise me sword to the sky and drop it from the clouds/
And with my final blow bring the Colossus to the ground/
