WEST COAST TERRORIST [PROD. OKRA]

shoutout @rakaokra for the beat and @joziehaze for the artwork 

[Verse]:
Grit my teeth I go insane 
Bad shit seeps into my brain 
I’ve witnessed hell on this earth and the madness that came with it left me as hollow remains 

I rest my crest upon my chain 
blackened sun sealed in the lake 
tides will rise 
the moon will wane
with storms of hells torrential rain 

Back in this slump, I feel the same 
Over time my drive done whittled
Some could say I do too much 
But all this shit feel like too little 
southwest grime 
I'm on my desert shit 
I ain't never changing 
my head fucked 
and so I spit this desert heat just not to break it

my soul fading
wake up filled with hate and I see red 
1 to the 8 to the mothafucken 7
7 shots into the bodies and it's 7 left dead 

that nigga ran up cuz he thinks he cold 
that nigga ran up now he is a ghost 
that nigga ran up and now that nigga dead 
with his body dismembered and left by the coast

[Hook]:
I take what's mine 
no reason or rhyme 
it's been since my birth 
I'm a Grimes bitch my family built from diamonds and dirt 
Imma shine 
Colors so damn vibrant 
Spread like a virus
Desert tyrant 
I’m making mosh pits 
I'll show my worth 

Hold the skies  
my soul been confined 
since set on this earth 
I'm a Grimes bitch my family built from diamonds and dirt 
its do or die
enshrouded by darkness
shadows where I lurk 
snuff you out 
put two in yo temple 
I might go berserk 
(x2)

SOUTHWEST GRIME (PROD. OKRA)

[Verse 1]:
For a minute I been feeling like I really don’t belong 
Feeling lonelier than ever friends ain’t never hit my phone 
As of late it’s been a chore to even wake up every day
Can’t feel happy for myself cuz everything just feel the same 
I been struggling and hoping for a healthy way to cope 
But all I do is make excuses so my ass can stay afloat 
Tossing turning in my bed cuz when it’s late I barely sleep 
And even in these fucking dreams I just can’t seem to find relief 

[Verse 2]:
All my homies ride or die but I don’t feel the same way 
I can’t stand to be alone 
Yet those close get pushed away 
Feel I barely know my friends 
Just got hatred for myself 
It’s the same old fucking shit that’s taxing on my mental health

All my days and nights is blending and depression’s creeping up 
can’t tell momma or my brother cuz this shit would tear them up 
needa look out for my family cuz pops is in the grave 
do my best to show that I can be the son my father raised 

[Verse 3]: 
I head downtown 
Hop up in the whip 
Leave all in past tense 
I remember days in the desert
We ain’t have shit 
Now you gone
Nothing feels the same 
This loss so tragic 
Since 6313 you been my idol 
And one I miss 

A Grimes bitch
I rep to the grave 
We shine like diamonds 
I know I’m finna make it out this hell that I’m confined in 
Realest nigga bumping out this southwest climate 
Mane ever since the start the goals the same 
There ain’t no options

SIDE B: SUNRISE - UNCOMFORTABLE (PROD. SACRIFICE)

[Lyrics]:
I can see them in my dreams or whenever I’m awake 
Out the corner of my eyes or in my mothafucken face 
It be my demons sat, glaring at me from the riverbank
wishing death until I’m cursed to walk this earth a hollow wraith 
paranoia fill my mind, clutching on my .44
cuz I’m scared my fucking fam gon’ be first to test this tone 
barrel steaming 
see the body littered with them bullet holes 
and this ringing in my ears won’t stop until my body cold 
I’m already sinking low 
lower than the fucking bass mane 
adrenaline get flowing once you punch in my face mane 
this anger seeping out because a nigga feeling hurt
still uncertain bout’ my music and my purpose on this earth
I rest where my demons lurk

DEMONS LURK (PROD. ANVTHEMA)

Lyrics: 
[Verse 1 - Jozie Haze]: 
night falls, i crawl
tires with the white walls
like maria, i’ll delete ya
fire spittin dyke broad
you dont want the beef with zee because yall know this shite raw
whip out my katana, with the water, feelin like law
worst generation steppin, 187 on a bitch
cursed, when i grip the weapon, vessels shreddin make em rip
burst, all that blood upon my flesh and on my worthless vic
immersed, when i press the metal to the serpent skin

[Verse 2 - Nokris]: 
Catch me in the dark of night 
in the madness of this ritual 
the pharaoh's said his rites 
Now bear witness to the mystical 
Step into my sights 
Put yo face in the guillotine 
a hellstorm plague
keep a stick on me with the beam 
I be that trigger happy mothafucker
tapping at yo window 
put bullets in these niggas mane
these bitches ain't my kinfolk 
ves-vessel of the serpent 
buckshot watch the chest fold 
I slip in the abyss
laid to rest 
in the shadows

OFFICIAL AMV

OCEAN OF SHADOWS FEAT. JOZIE HAZE (PROD. LIL' BUCKSTA & NOKRIS)

[Verse]:
It’s that hell-forged terror
Rule the desert with an iron fist 
I rest in the dirt 
For when I rise, order will start to slip
Black flames, on my body 
Burning 'till I meet my end 
And in this arid desert hellscape 
no other sounds contend 

I'm enraged
and yea I've been here for a while
yea I be the West Coast Terrorist
and Serpent of the Nile 
feeling vile 
and nothing but hatred drips from my veins 
my invocation a storm of destruction with no remains 

my flow 
be incantations 
the devils sing yo demise 
enshrouded by endless darkness 
my madness lurks in the minds 
despised by all my people 
I've seen the scorn in their eyes 
Feel terrible can’t 
kick all this paranoia inside 
lately, I've been so low 
shit's just like my father told
burning into my psyche until it burns out my soul 
the world shall be my witness 
the legends foretold in scrolls 
until my body is ashes 
I'm repping my desert home 

[Outro]:
'vival
'vival
this here a revival
Vessel of Apophis feel my madness through the vinyl 
(x8)

SIDE A: SUNSET - INVOCATION OF MADNESS (PROD. OKRA)

[Hook]:
I get my bag then I'm gone
West coast flow 
Pushing down the gas pedal when a nigga hit the road 
I came in this bitch to thrash 
And these niggas do the most 
Speeding down Akina
That 8-6 ghost 

[Verse 1]:
Stunting like I’m 'posed to 
Yea this like magic 
DCR the gang 
hit the mic and cause damage 
I don't like to post on you niggas like that 
running up the coast I'm just here for my bag 
blinded by the lights while I whip the hellcat 
going faster 
like Tokyo Drift on they ass 

let me slow it down for a bit (ay, ay)
let's slow it down for a bit (ay, ay)

[Verse 2]:
I got devils on my shoulders 
foot slam on the gas dusting posers
7 deadly sins boy I shine like Estarossa 

shining like I'm 'posed to  (ay, ay)
boy I'm shining like I'm 'posed to (ay, ay)

hella racks in my pocket, mane I don't care what the price is 
everything I touch turn to gold, feel like Midas 

shining like a diamond (ay, ay)
boy I'm shining like a diamond (ay, ay)

[Hook]:
I hit the gas then I'm gone
West coast flow 
Pushing down the gas pedal when a nigga hit the road 
I came in this bitch to thrash 
And these niggas do the most 
Bitch I'm out the desert 
but I still stay froze

86 GHOST (PROD. SACRIFICE)

[Hook]:
feeling juiced 
fuck this playing safe I break the rules 
I don't need the dark of night to hide intent 
you see it too 
run amok up in the underground 
yea bitch I'm on the loose
feel the madness emanating from the shit that I produce 
(x2) 

[Verse]:
I see red I’m in a trance boy 
I make em' dance boy 
I got the gat it's in my pants boy 
so run them bands boy 
Said I been in a fucking pinch so I need to make ends meet 
Lately, I've been in my head and that shit full of envy 
I-I've been feeling hella low nigga 
Lower than bass notes 
Surrounded by burning bones
No breath as I creep slow
bring death as I encroach  
in range, you get smoked 
leave nothing but hell flames 
as above so below 
and nigga we hella low 
and nigga we hella low  

[Hook]:
feeling juiced 
fuck this playing safe I break the rules 
I don't need the dark of night to hide intent 
you see it too 
run amok up in the underground 
yea bitch I'm on the loose

(x2)

DARK OF NIGHT (PROD. SACRIFICE)

[Lyrics]: 
[Verse 1 - Mxstvh]: 
Steppin outside the kutt witch way should I go got the enemy walkin up on me Should I take em out or should I sneak into tha cadillac slowly 
Fuck that shit I buck em down he runnin his mouth behind my back I’m hearin tha sirens down tha street I’m jumpin into da Cadillac 
Telephone keeps on ringin turn it on silent I don’t wanna talk to you bitch I’m stangin on all you busta muthafuckas i don’t wanna talk to no snitch 
Tha 5-0 comin into my yard yellin put it down ima put u down 
This lil bitch talkin dat shit put a gat up to his back n buck em down

[Verse 2 - Nokris]:
you can catch me in the graveyard confirming dead bodies of my enemies 
no peace for souls in my gaze 
Mane they mine to keep 
Cutthroat 
I know this world has been to a nigga 
And my will’s slowly weakened to the urge to pull the trigger 
Grey matter on the walls 
And a shell hits the floor
Catch a glimpse of a shadow as I creep out the door
11 rounds in his frame 
See the smoke drain from bullet holes
They don’t know 
Mane these hoes they don’t really know

MEET YO DEMISE FEAT. MXSTVH (PROD. SACRIFICE & SHADOWSTAR)

[Verse]:
I’m that blinding ray of sunshine
So bright 
I light up the room 
In this night 
I've been paving roads as I’m making moves 
star clan raised yea this hunger here insatiable 
you spout nonsense 
and none of that shit relatable 

I dropped in 
here to make a big wave 
all the fakes try to copy and capture the wavelength 
keep my racks up 
driving down the interstate 
they can't catch us 
pull up we kicking down heavens gate

I got passions 
and I be damned if they burn out 
this one for the family and the homies that done stuck out 
ten toes down 
people that was wit me through the whole drought 
and whenever they part of the audience they the most loud 

I know that I been showing the worst sides of old me 
Short temper in light of the satisfaction annoys me 
it's troubling 
but at least I know I grew from it 
met a lot of people too passive enough to do something 

missed calls, and distractions on my phone 
it was wrong tryna shoulder the burden that you was gone I know 
nothing gone be the same 
and coping with the knowledge been harder up to this day
 
I make music from heart and soul 
keep grinding for the gold until I'm all dead and gone 
pass the mic like the baton 
lyrical odyssey 
been grinding on my own wit knowledge that you was proud of me 

[Outro]:
Mane this love for the music 
Love-Love for the family 
Love from the homies that done made this a reality 
(x8)

GOOD TO ME (PROD. SACRIFICE)

[Lyrics]:
[Verse 1 - Nokris]: 
thinking if I called back 
would you pick up now 
cuz lately I been low down 
in this fucked up sound 
time stopped for a bit when I heard that you died
took a day to register these thoughts is fresh in my mind 
it was yo time
but after I been so damn hurt 
was hoping that it was a dream and you were back on this earth 
I couldn’t sleep last night 
felt like I disconnected 
mind is constantly a mess and I've been feeling so reckless 

I cannot take any for granted 
all the time that you spent 
cuz you done made me and brother into something to miss
you'd wake up fucked up
knees hurt 
ready to work 
no matter what stepped in yo way 
you wouldn't stop till the dirt 
and that's real 
and I can't even make no excuses 
put 1000% into this music shit it's my future 
already know that when you're gone you're always by my side 
an inspiration and an everlasting thought in my mind 
shit ain't artificial 

[Verse 2 - Oh Gasm!]:
I keep my family by my side
Stay faithful with my pride
I trust decisions from the ones who keep me living a full life
I'm trynna learn from mistakes 
My parents they guide the way
I trust my mom, I trust my dad
We gone make it through this day
Whatchu know about that
Whatchu know about facts
I got a family I got friends and they ain't fallin' for life's trap
Yeah we struggle to go on
Me and Nokris we write these songs
To illustrate the things in our life
when things even go wrong
This ain't artificial it comes straight from above
These niggas fakin' they whole life they really need some love
Why you cappin' in the streets like u ain't growin' up
You got loved ones to take care so go ahead and buckle up
You got that dough
You got that flow
But your parents still sleepin' on the floor
So set yourself apart and go ahead and show em that you're really grown 
Be thankful for whatchu got 'cause you won't sense a thing until it's just really truly gone, truly gone

ARTIFICIAL FEAT. OH GASM! (PROD. OH GASM!)

[Hook]: 
boy I'm hot like the sun 
I been since my day of birth bitch 
I been living reckless 
I don't care what concern is 
terror on the mic 
making mosh pits where I'm lurking 
Vessel of Apophis 
you can find me where the dirt is 

I crawl out the grave 
in the desert west of Texas 
in the city lights 
catch me pimpin' out the Lexus
see just how I shine
yes my brilliance infectious 
nokris so divine
got the sun up on my necklace 

[Verse]:
stop-stop for a minute ay 
I been in my zone 
I was low in my feelings 
felt that shit all in my soul 
lost in hell 
demons dwell in this place I lost a part of me 
and now I'm writing verses so that I relive these odysseys 
ride-ride low 
digital 
grime is just what I adore 
vessel of the serpent 
whisper curses unto all my foes 
hell flames burning away all of my impurities 
and madness erased, ate up all my insecurities 

[Hook]: 
boy I'm hot like the sun 
I been since my day of birth bitch 
I been living reckless

you can find me where the dirt is 

I crawl out the grave 
in the desert west of Texas 
in the city lights 
catch me pimpin' out the Lexus
