The songs inspiration comes from a TIFU post on Reddit.

Chorus:
Listen and see where we Head in the whip./
First we test the instruments./
Check that reflections are good./
Key in ignition than twist./
Pumping  pedals uses brakes./
See if the light luminates./
Are the headlights blue an straight./
Turn signals, then on our way./

Verse 1:
I just bought a pack of smokes, I bid  Zack audios./
About to travel back from getting some gas then home./
As I push past the door, a young lass stands alone./
She looked sad though, she still Casually spoke,/
a compliment to me, that she, fancies my cologne./
I say thank you, a smile I flash, then I go./
I advance closer to my car she stammered approached:/
"Sir, is it possible to lend me a helping hand, I suppose,/
A lift it's just 5 minutes down telegraph road."/
I say "sure, what the hell", as I glance at my phone,/
With time to kill,  I could help this damsel all aboard./
"You wouldn't happen to have a few bucks perhaps I could score?"/
I retort with reluctance handing her cash, "sure."/
"Ok, Ill be right back I have something to grab from the store."/
I see she's holding prophylactics' heading back to the car./
As if a child, she wildly slams the door./

Chorus:
Listen and see where we Head in the whip./
First we test the instruments./
Check that reflections are good./
Key in ignition than twist./
Pumping  pedals uses brakes./
See if the light luminates./
Are the headlights blue an straight./
Turn signals, then on our way./

Verse 2:
Moving, driving, peacefully pursuing/
our route when, she slides in, leans to me seducing./
Intrusive,  I was, completely confused when,/
she's pursuing my lap trying, eagerly to loosen,/
the belt to my pants, I say immediately "what are you doing?"/
While I almost collide with a jeep Cherokee and  a Buick./
The jeep hit a pole hard, the Buick barely illusive./
"Stop, You don't owe me for a ride, believe you me that's stupid."/
She replies, "No  honey, you owe me to do this."/
I continue to resist, from there her mood shifts./
"Look, It was not my intention to pick up a prostitute when,/
you asked for a ride I was obliged to let you in./
I'm married to my partner happy in life with two kids."/
The rest of the ride she's fuming, spewing barking out rude clips/
To the location, smoothly arrived the women gets/
out of my whip at a motel parking lot. Good riddance./

It's full of unsavory con men
And women being objectified for profit
My gas station buddy Zack probably thinks I'm a thirsty John an
As I think this, nefarious characters approach my Nissan an
I lock the doors, roll up the window, proceed on "No thank you..."

Where I Head In The Whip (Produced By: TapDaddyBeats)

TapDaddy Cypher Submission 091221

It was the year 2004 when I filed for divorce/
We got married young stupid down for the course/
To enter life together without the remorse/
Thought we knew everything, now but of course/
In hindsight it now allows us to learn/
We didn't even know ourselves How could it work/
Looking back the miles I delve down an observe/
The one thing I never wanted to fail out of was her/
An the idea of marriage it's value and worth/
Watching my parents model wasn't how it should work/
It's embarrassing, Emotional spousal support/
I couldn't provide, even with my prowess of words/
I was crumbling, in grave doubt was I Cursed/
Was taught the World would pass any day now in Church/
04 is pretty far away now concern's/
mentality was ready to bbreakdown and burst/
Like I'm not good enough to be saved now on Earth/
I'm putting in 15 hour days bound at work/
a cable contractor minimum wage job an merge/
Pre Diabetes getting McDonald take out Desert's/
Trying to keep the stress level headed,/
...Oh the pain how it hurts/
I'm running 3 hours late now concerned/
To my next appointment. Thinking great how absurd/
I knock at a grey house perturbed/
All of my molecules are giving away now to burn/
Out...
The lowest I had ever been at that point in my life.
I again knock...
The customer answers the door...

Hook:
I'm just trying to reach my goals, keep on my toes/
The least I know, tell me, can I live/
To each his own, the streets and stones/
Proceed along, tell me, Can I live/
To keep my focus, be in the moment/
And reap what I sow tell me can I live/
To compete in flows, and beat who oppose,/
The least I know, tell me, can I win/

Verse1:
Off the top, my dad be on my head like a hat/
For good grades, but vocabulary that's where it's at/
In rap there's various ways I can Dismantle a track/
At school my freestyles be magic like abracadab/-
Rah, it Be magic like Orlando in fact/
Bruh, I have to battle this Lewis kid after my class/
Come, been writing in my note pad spectacular raps/
Just to roast Lewis bad, get at'em with facts/
last names Surgioni if we add and subtract/
The the first syllable of his last name attach to the back/
"Huh" Of  his first name it spells Lewis-Sur, "That happens to match" 
This doofes'es lame stupid face, his acne is bad/
It's a tragedy, that I can syllabically rhyme away/
Basically for you Fred, what I'm trying to say/
Like the Count Of Monte Cristo inside his Cave/
Is Mark has lines for days/ think about it...

Verse 2:
Yo where is this Lewis Sur from? Huh? Who'da thunk?/
This guy raps about packing pistols and shooting guns/
When the fact of the issue is, you'sa bum/
The only thing you got that pops is bazooka gum/

Proof is When that girl tried to rob you for some/
Milk money, and What he do, he'd run/
Home and tell his momma, her loser son/
Has bitter bones diluted do to illusive calcium/
His momma replied goofing out load with a/

"Do I have to speak go to your class mates an mingle/
Before her week blow makes your whole face a sink hole/
Momma will so take a succinct hold/
 Of that broad and lay sis (laces) out like Ray Finkle"/

Alrighty then, almighty pen, I'm metamorphin/
with metaphors of metal zords to go to war with/
They can sever your limps, deport them/
 to four different coordinates./
It would be an unsolved mystery to America, wherever Lew's corpse is/
 Just wait until the storm hits/
I brainstorm with enough raw force it/
could lift Noah's ark up from the floor it sits/

It is glorious, I asked my physician's opinion for what is/
the metamorphosis of the force I grip/
And he reported with "Inside your organisms.../
According to this you have an abnormal dense,/
enormous rich, coursing gift of midichlorians/

Fred: Man Mark, you really slayed Lewis...
In relation, I got a perticulatly important question to ask.

Mark: What's up Fred?...

F: If I would so happen to surcum to the evil perils of which mankind think of as death... Could you immediately go to my house and delete my porn folder?

M: Fred, I'm so virtuous, my heroism knows no Bounds.
I ever told you how lightning fast and efficient I am at Do-goodizm?

F: You can start by do-gooding real word...

Verse:
Mic check 1, 2 I'm a hero/ 
no need to fear bro, everyone in here knows,/
You can look up to me Fred, like where stares go/
If your in the basement, and I'm above in the stair well.../ (literal)
If you should happened to fare ill to peril,/
before I'd wish you farewell, Fredrick I swear I'll/
Break in a window climb into your Parents home/
And delete that folder, only after I mirror a clone/ (for me)
I'm so heroic, brave, yet stoic/
If I seen a fragile bird in a cage, I'd open it/ (yep)
I'm so quick on my toes it's often appropriate/
To say it's Unlikely I'll ever be caught by Covid/
So quick, if I entered alcoholic rehab programs/
To compete with others to rediscover a sober ends/
Id leave those other fiendish drunkards in the dust I'd go in/
Lacing up my runners bucking the rush tucking toes in/
They'd show me those 12 steps then I'd go win/

I'm a beacon of greatness for you to see we can make it/
"Losers" I could have defeated you's in this race Inebriated/
I'm so immaculate at playing these hero game when/
Ghost Is happy with how he smeared every place red/
With blood I'll bring buckets, help him clean up the pavement/
Some hand out coats to impoverished, not me I hate it/
If see a hobo out in the streets, to greet I say this/
"For 20 bucks would you please let me hit you in the Face with/
A pot pie?", "Sure" with the strength of Popeye I believe he ate it/
After I alleviated his hunger pangs he appreciated/
I a bid him ado, he walked off when/
I allotted him to go buy booze (boo's), and he applauded/
As if I was the one who watches the watchman/
Only if I'm going to rescue a Rolex from a coffin/
It would be a crime to bury this, weary old/
Larry doesn't need to know or read a time zone where he goes/
I'm thinking what would Jesus do in this scenario/
He would say sell your wares and gold at a fair and go/
Follow me on this marry road, bare the oath/
What if I gave Larry's old, watch to the very own/
Prostitute at Mobile looking for John's to fairy home/
She could exchange it for, dividends making more/
Put some in the stock market, hit the bodega store/
Spending the first night with her children since they were four/
She prepares them what they crave, what they'll adore/
Billy after the prayer first, he welds the  forks/
And samples something there, he's never felt before/
Mama, mama. I need to know/
This Raman, what are it's ingredients in this bowl/
With tearful eyes She replied with just one embolden word... Hope./

F: thanks Mark your like the bestest friend someone could ask for.

M: Now whose not using real words...

F: I meant goodest as an indirect insult to your vocabulary.

Jepo: Alright kids, get to class.

Fred: Yes ma'am.

J: Bye...

Tapdaddy Cypher Submission for 102421

Ok Mark, what's on your mind... 
Maybe if I just write the thoughts down, I can wrap my head around it.

Verse 1:
Can I really make my father proud now with this path I seek/
Actually, if I could just happen to be down for my Family/
I keep having these same dreams how What's the pattern mean/
Am I not good enough to be loved this doubt it nags at me/
What if I brushed up against a bout of random calamity/
How would I react I mean, could I withstand and be /
The man I think I am and keep or be trapped beneath the debris/
Succumb crushed complete, death an I meet in  this tragedy/
Or would I run panic leave just up end an abandon flee/
those I love most or will those I love the most abandon me/
Face it Who knows the outcome of those we can't foresee/
Ill probably Blow it like mom's old sleep apnea machine/
They say What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, scabs to see/
But what doesn't kill could also maim, disfigure amputee/
We're all just animals staring at each, famished to eat/
The fact of the matter is we spite is all's a travesty/
Was Lewis right about the battle we- had am I mean?/
In rap you have to be braggadocios attacking their Vanity/
Or you're prone to get roasted exposed shown as a casualty/
Examine see- what does my broken moral compass have for me/
People want to hear tyrannical narratives Rhyming with arrogance/
If I were to say punchlines I carry I let fly like marionettes/
I cook up in the lab All kinds of various Science experiments/
No animals were harmed at the time in there I was writing this/
But I went inside intent to hit the lab harder than Michael Vick /
'Ra!'

My neighbor Joe's a dog trainer, he might go flip
If he heard that come out of my own lips his right thrown fist
Would probably hit me harder than I hit the lab, yet the cycle persists... 
Can I just say "Joe it's a rap joke, to emphasize how I write so sick?"
Even in context or out of, I don't know what the right move is
Yo, but I know this...

Verse2:
This very concept goes against every embodiment that I am/
If it wasn't on beats, but in public, what would be my defense/
I'd be labeled a monstrous, criminally inclined  convict/
What if I were to adopt a new mind set of what hip-hop is/
instead of misogynistic, narcotics, combined with violence/
What if my correspondence was more in line toward my conscience/
I could tell huge topical stories with innumerous options/
Any dumb stupid idea that pops in- side my human head I pen/
The only stipulation I got is to make it rhyme complex/
Add continuity, through and weave combine the threads/
Between the music we dutifully outline find the best/
Style that's unique supersedes the writing process/
who knows what'll be hopeful will find our success/
Can I live I guess in time we'll see, provided our best/
I can't wait for tomorrow to run this scheme by Fred/
He has the most comprehensive analytical genius yet/

And You know what Mark, I think it's going to be Ok...

What up Tee?
Your dog was hit by a U-Haul?!

Oh man, alright I'll put the bat signal out, get some of the fellas over maybe play some games. It might cheer you up. Alright I'll hit up BK on the way, text me whatever you want... Anything you want... Under 10 dollars.

Mark: Alright Fred while I got you on the phone, we're going to do a motivational exercise. A call /respond sort of thing  Just ask questions and follow my lead.

Verse 1:
How are you at spitting them bars? "I'm Great at it"/
How are you at dealing some cards? "I'm Great at it"/
How are you at fixing a car? "I'm Great at it"/
How are you at picking guitars? "I'm Great at it"/
How are you at constructing a beat? "I'm Great at it"/
How are you in public with speech? "I'm Great at it"/
How are you with brushing your teeth? "I'm Great at it/
In fact it is something to see the way plaque gets/
Destroyed should be a degree I'm great at it"/
How are you at cleaning up in the streets? "I'm Great at it"/
How are you at plucking up some weeds? "I'm great at it,/
practiced on  grand dad's land, he'd pay cash then"

Hook:
It's the next episode where we step in the mode where it's, all good/
Feeling fresh in my clothes about to head to the store and it's, all/
my best friend on the phone and we living on the globe where it's, all good/
Every minute that we go the potential is unknown and it's all... Good/

Fred: Mark, the color of your teeth makes me suspect you're maybe not great with a toothbrush... No offence.

Mark: None taken, Fred that's not the point, you just say you're great at something to feel better, it's positive motivation, try it.

Verse 2:
How are you at dealing with flaws? "I'm Great at it"/
How are you at dealing applause? "I'm Great at it"/
How are you with science and laws? "I'm Great at it/
Even quantum mechanics involved? I make it happen/
Can you invent time travel, in theory change the fabric/
Of time You just have to ad-just space and matter/
 and fold it in half just like a sub way sandwich/
Poke through, an astral project displayed patterns/
It's all 1s and 0s at the end of grey Data/
And how they subtract and interact play in practice"/
Wow Fred fabulous math, a great tactic/
"What more can I really say man I'm great at it"/

Fred: Man Mark that does feel good. Right now my temperaments through the roof. You know who else could stand to have their spirits lifted... T.

Mark: Dude, Fred you're so right, I'll get a hold of him right now! His parents just got him a apple cellphone.

Mark: Hey Colton, I know your live on Twitch, but Fred has a great idea.

Fred: Whud' up Tee

Mark: To boost your moral, I'm going to say a line, and after line with enthusiasm you have to say, I'm great at it.  You understand, let's give it a try it.

Just How good are you in Ableton? "Hopefully Tap says: I'm Great at it"/
What about the card game Pokémon? "Hopefully Tap says: I'm Great at it"/
What about goals in relationships? "Hopefully Tap says: I'm Great at it"/
Would you say your the favorite son? "Hopefully Tap says: I'm Great at it"/
Did you just say I'm great dad It? "Hopefully Tap says: I'm Great at it"/
I know your the tab daddy, but he's the Jedi master/
Your his Padawan to follow his step guide after/
Just keep moving ahead to the light path heard/
How are you at applying his rules? "Hopefully Tap says: I'm Great at it"/
How are you with tying your shoes/ "Hopefully Tap says: I'm Great at it"/
Are you a good beat designer? "Hopefully Tap says: I'm Great at it"/
Lastly... How are you at Street Fighter? "Hopefully Tap says: I'm Great at it"/

Mark: Alright buddy, I hope that was a success. Speaking of unadulterated victory. I was thinking about last week, and there's this audio clip, that reminded me of our game day. Here check it out.

You probably don't recognize me, look in my eye's we/
With Fred invented a time machine years down the time stream/
I know your mind sees something inside me/
I'm a 49 year old you, surprised keep/
What I'm tellings inside deep, dwell what I confide please/
Through neuroscience we project our mind think/
Into our prior dreams to alart of dire warnings/
Mark you need pay mind, head every line I speak./
Still you might not believe, we're short on time you need/
to ignore those robots, I advise you follow me./

For The laws of physics devise what the science means/
When in court never belittle with the mental Highjinx/
The repercussions continues to sting spiral bring/
A Ripple that will rip through making Space and time cease/14
The omnipotent time keepers confine speech
Concerning the extinction event, that reminds me/

How old are you, ten? I hope you care to pretend/
Your worlds about to implode, I don't know where to begin./
You'll be staring and caught, between your parents adult- /
rieus relation ship'll soon have you taring apart./
And you'll swear its your fault, you were there when they fought/
but you mustn't bare the burden of two married adults./
Alcohol and affairs divide your mother from dad,/
he just does what he loves though it hurts the other so bad./
From his troublesome past tarnished, corrupted, and slant,/
his idea of Eden never to recover it back./
But your mother was intact, with your father in fact/
they were still together when she passed and you love'em for that./
You father passes two years after the same month which happens
To be your birthday the month of January
Meanwhile Marundo, keep up with your raps./16


Remember what I said, it involves Fred's life along with the invention of Astroprojection.

When in court never belittle with the mental Highjinx/
The repercussions continue to spiral bring/
A Ripple that will rip through making Space and time cease/
And lastly , but most importantly, Mark whatever you do never....

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/

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

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!

Hey Fred, you just missed Edwin.
F: What up Mark? I came right after school...well. And after Power Rangers... Holy crap man, I'm glad you and your families OK. What's been on the agenda

Just in this hospital bed, stressed pondering death/
On how your next mornings never really promised instead/
Optimus said, Focus now while in the present 
"Oh Mark that reminds me man, I brought you a present"/
Astrotrain Oh Freddrick, bud, no question its love
You really are the best friend, Second to none
You can be counted on like an index an a thumb/
F: Flipping an abacus, more accurate at adding it up/
So how have you been active man while rehabbing your lungs
Sitting back in this hospital with snack packs by the cup/
"They have Chocolate pudding?" in abundance, I'll brandish you one
Nurse, meanwhile I've Crafting this masterful pun/
Check it, I just wrote the most magnificent Pun
An entered it into a competition, figured I'd won
They wrote a letter back I wasn't picked for the Win
You know what I did next, I went and did it agian/
I wrote a second and third with whim, perfected my Work
Each letter emerged penned clever inert
Spectacular something that the Judges never deserved
The 5th was a prison motif of correctional terms/
What does a warden say when a death sentence is looming
To his crew for an electracution they're prepping the usage
Of The chair, when the prisoner steps in room he says
"This better be perfectly executed" /
(Six)
I was at a town that was so behind where they 
Were/
Everyone new all of their own town neighbors
They were so behind the times where they were
I filled out my job app online... Paper
(Seven)
Mom's hire to clean made my rib cage hurt
She wasn't quick to clean she'd enter/exit the Manor 
nothing to do with her anerexia, The maids work
Ethic at cleaning was just bare bones by nature/
(Eight)
My cousin Paul used to be in the streets of filth
Taking any floozy home to Netflix and Chill
Now a days he seems in the bible scene for real
I asked him what inspired him in life's meaning still/
He said "Obadiah, Leviticus, Hosea, Ezekiel. (O but I a live it cause, hoe, see a easy kill)
I was inspired by all the  prophets  that he revered.
(Nine)
Paul then added, do you know what the bible book is called which of that
Is About long suffering, pain, being wronged by the man
I ask which, he said it's called the book of Job, it's a trap...
That was a total of 9 puns. I was hoping to win it
I then had one more pun I wrote that I sent in
Fred Do you know how many jokes I submitted 
would win in the paronomasia compitition

F: No? M: No pun in ten did....

F: Man, that's spectacular I didn't see it coming.  You even Telegraph it and everything.
Besides bringing you an Astrotrain I also had something I needed to talk to you about...
Im sorry for keeping it from you, but with you almost dying, we really can't spare a second.
M: what is it Fred?
F: While we we're at Colton's house, his parents asked me to look at their taxes, because you know, I'm good with numbers... Then Beneath their cabinet drawer... I... I found your birth certificate.
M: What?
F: Yeah I know. What's odd about it is, it's your name, and social security number...
M: You know my soc security number?
F: what can I say I'm man, good with numbers, but that's besides the point. The year on your birthday was off. The days the same, but it says the year of 1981. 

M: What?...
F: All in all this means you and Colton are brothers...
M: Wait a minute, so you mean to tell me... my dog died?
F: My condolences Mark. Copper was a good dog.
M: Good dog, he was but a foot long full of love... What the f(beep).

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!

I rap emphatically over Tap daddy beats
I asked for he to please to keep the tag in for me 
 as a guided path to keep my mechanics clean
 My flow is tighter than soda bottle plastic rings4
...wait, Lets weave a Tapestry 
To elaborate what this really actually means 

Well Vapid teens sit at the beach haphazardly  
Kick back and drink six packs a piece of Fanta Cream 
to slam caffeine then scram and leave the trash debris
Of wrapping rings, from sand to sea 
they're travelling Abandoned means to a tragedy
 of aquatic casualties while chocking manatees 
wrapped Around the throat of gagging geese
were catfish cant precede, and casually
octopi get tied their hands and feet
not to be a drag but see what the simile happens to be  


Yeah, did you get that
over a drum kick snare we brought the kick back
put your hands in the air, feel the impact
InitiativeMark and Tap on the kick back




My flow is colder than Alaskan breeze
An if you missed the point that'd be Shaq on Frees
Not  cloning  Colton an extra copy
On his tracks I Double Tap like the head of a zombie
Rhyming muscles could only atrophy (add trophy)
For when we win this award, Know I Have a speech
Id like to thank My parents, friends, family
shout out Miss Jepo and the rest of the faculty 
Me and wackiness go together like  anchovies
an Michelangelo, ninja kick the rabbit please
or go together like water splashed in grease
Or a basketball in the hands of [Redacted]
Joke you'd owe me a coke,  but actually
 let's consider the oceanic havoc that it reeks 
my passion bleeds for this planet please
if you're a litterbug prepare to be smashed by feet, go team!

"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.

The One That Got Away Demo

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/
