Entry for MakingHipHop's Cypher Vol 25 - Beat by @https://soundcloud.com/sleep-r Theme: Summertime.

LYRICS:
Every year I need to visit the seasons
See me win over winter and still it didn’t defeat me
Look up to sky and try give it a reason
Then we come to the "summer time and the living is easy"

In the view of the moon, toe to toe in a slow dance
"The groove that soothes and moves romance"
Fresh prints in the grass, make love in the bushes
I hate to say it but your mum is good looking.

The light fades, a dark sky, obsidian
Wanna save the day like the name’s Meridien
Come undone in under 500 days
Dumbstruck with an abundance of Summer Raes

Fuck the bullshit, you know that it’s time to fight
Smackdown Blownaparte, Napoleon Dynamite
Quit playing games, so it’s no Nintendo
Fuck Summer, I’mma vote for Pedro

La La Land (Cypher 25 -"Summertime")

Summery Breeze for TapDaddyBeats Cypher

LYRICS:
Another dimension of demented emcees
Seems to me to be the season that was meant to be seized
Leaving centuries of sentimental mental fatigue
and it’s mental to be empty of any mention of me

The summer sun is something suddenly seen
So we seek the secrets sweeping on the summery breeze
Sitting under the trees or we succumb to the heat
The mercury is creeping up into a hundred degrees

If life’s a plant, then hard graft is the stem
It’s only me against I, and never you versus them
First you heard me in verse and now you heard me again
Make an oath towards growth, I pledge my word to the end

Read between the lines to see I make you think and make you laugh
Running my mouth can cause hot water, I implore to save the bath
No need for Archimedes to repeat these eurekas
I wish this mystery is enlisted to history cos

Another dimension of demented emcees
Seems to me to be the season that was sent on a breeze

Son and Rain Man for TapDaddyBeats Cypher

LYRICS:
I’ve wired my escape and now it’s time to make my getaway
I’ve never met a better place to lay my head and meditate 
...
Fuck that, I’ve had enough so let me levitate

Fly through the sky, see the world below
 As I turn a blind eye to my vertigo 
Oh yes, I could never get sick of this 
You need a hundred suns to melt the wax off this Icarus
  
And that’s a predicament, a depiction of vanity 
As the cracks in my vision, they give a different reality 
It’s a cold dark place, holds our fate 
No emotion so no hearts race

Hope for home now the snow has shifted
Skip the frigid toes and frozen DIGITS
Hit the wishlist, before it’s over and out
Switch the flow as we go for the COUNT:


1ce upon a time I was 2 afraid 2 fly
 But the 3dom that we 4t 4 was 4cing me to try
 If 5 understood the laws of phy6 and the gravity it brings
 It’s 7tually too l8 to take a leap & spread your wings
Whe9avigate the skies, I feel the wind in my face 
The in10sity is tempting me, I’m drifting away
...
I 10d to escape, when the ending is 9
Noodle knew his f8 and he acSEPTed to die
Hear the 6tory from the clif5isited
The 4tune of a 3k is sure to be limited
Of course it elicited more thoughts of a 2ne
Under the sun’s umbra and the 1der of the moon

It’s suddenly silent as we find that the beatZEROver
Done NUMBERlievable deeds but please I need you to keep your composure...

Entry for MakingHipHop's Cypher Vol 20 - Beat by @soundcloud.com/estepaxbeats Theme: Holiday.

Happy August 19th!

LYRICS:
Now let me be candid and make you understand this
I’m acting dramatic, but the matter of the fact is
Everything is backwards, I’m lacking in the practice
It’s a fucking struggle living life left handed

Think I’m being harsh? Well think it again
See the smudges on my palm from the ink in my pen
Watch me twist around my notebook to write at a slant
It’s called a can opener, but actually, I can’t

My ability of scissoring has never been great 
And I can’t read the numbers on my measuring tape
Hockey sticks, golf clubs, get your head in the game
I used a ring binder once, still remember the pain

My fine dining might find you guys whining
Got forks kinda awkward, it’s time to stick the knife in
Elbows at an angle, I reckon it's getting reckless
I’d give my right hand to be ambidextrous

Sinister Manus (Cypher 20 - "Holiday")

Track for TapDaddyBeats cypher. 

LYRICS:
Late of night breaks to light of day
My mind is strained I find I’m wide awake
I gotta rise from laying, try to find a way
Great, time is wasted, my mistake

I raise the blinds, try to take in the skyline
Here to last year feels like a lifetime
Here’s to the rear view: 2023
Make great claims like "New year, New me!"

Eyes digest this mess in the kitchenette
Coffee cup stuffed with the butts of a cigarette
Big regrets and bitter pills to swallow
Deal with it now or leave it till tomorrow?

“Straight away” displaced by “a later day”
Sitting on the sofa next to overflows of takeaway
Sure that I’ll sort it one day soon
As I draw in the fumes of the Monday blues

"Ohhhh see me through these Monday blues
Show me that it will be over soon
Just to get me through till Tuesday"

Monday Blues [prod. by TapDaddyBeats]

A rap about chess. Beat by Greenie. First verse by Ali.

LYRICS:

Pretty soon I'll have my own show on E4 making millions
C5 women in my bedroom, Sicilian
I'm killing 'em, on the mic I'm devouring you
and on the board I'm greater than the powers of two
Though I'm whiter than a chessboard packed with rice
Hip hop's something I could never sacrifice
It doesn't matter if you're black or white
I guess it depends on who you're asking right?
I'm the best chess rapper since the Wu Tang
Got a passed pawn? Try to catch me if you can
Queen's a girl worth fighting for, Mulan
I'm like Jim Carrey, just tryna stay Truman
Stamp out your pieces, so fresh I'll never be stale
Address me as your majesty I'm a royal male
I'm the king of this rap game and you're just a pawn
Playing the same old shit, yeah you're making me bored
With your Pussy, Money, Weed shit, don't you ever learn man?
You're black and white, kid, Ingmar Bergman
So touch move, bitch, get out the way
I'm en passant my way to promotion, you been outplayed

CHORUS:
Hide your king cos are armies are knocking at your gates
You're on the ropes and we're dominating in this arms race
your knights are falling as our forces sweep across and desecrate 
Mastered the art of war, the game is over, checkmate

In a battle of wits I'll always defeat you
I don't bleed red, cut me I'm deep blue
Kasparov with your head, Lewis Carroll
Check out my piece, I must be double-barrelled
.41 Magnus, wait- I mean Magnum
I got more range than bullets in a handgun
Subtle rhymes? Take them in passing
I'll play a quick game, no breaks, it's fast-ting
Hunt for the dollar? My game is evergreen
They call me a scholar, the best there's ever been
If you wanna be better, better battle the best
My blitz game is lightning, no intention to rest
Quick as a flash, I must be a Grandmaster
My castles and queens beat your speediest archers
Defeat comes first, penitence comes after
Need for a bishop? Go speak to a pastor

CHORUS

You're just steam, punk, I'm hypermodern
Let me remind you in case you've forgotten
You're an antique, stop clock's gone rotten
Put me against Hydra, cos I'd've got 'em
I'm cutting off heads, I'll patch 'em up with a bandaid
Taking down titans, man or manmade
Immortalised into lines on a computer
Coming from the past, proceed into the future
Your name's Callie Rose, the way you're in checkmate
My pawn's hitting rank 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Underpromotion? That's a rookie error
Do it knightly, it might be better
I'll be taking your girl, and I'll be making her cereal
Me and my queen are still mating material
The king is dead, don't reckon I've blundered
I'm breaking records with my 2900.

Arms Race

Entry for MakingHipHop's Cypher Vol 39 - Beat by Fiori DS. Theme: Prosperity

LYRICS:
I’m sitting chilling in the back half of a limousine
I keep my ice on ice, the whole joint stinks of weed
I’ll never be a role model, I’m a figurine

They say I made it like they think my name is Stephen King
I must be wise to the penny cos I’m an evil thing
If making paper is treason I need to see your king
The reasoning for keeping wealth is weakening

We finally figure we're better off spreading the benefits
Whatever it takes, we’re giving away to our neighbours
“Thanks, that’s great!”, whatever don’t mention it
Taking is evident, but whenever we’re giving we’re setting a precedent
That’s what I’m getting at. What do you reckon, and what are your thoughts on the sentiment? “Excellent!”

But I’m still stressing, I feel dizzy and I’m real nauseous
I feel faint, and when I move forward, I’m still cautious
I got my vision and I hope I don’t regret it
I wish the best in people, but they don’t seem to get it

LYRICS:

[Noodle]
If I came across a genie in a lamp, 
He could lead me by the hand and leave me be to read his plans
And he’d need to understand that I’d thought this through totally
I’d hope to be invoking these quick changes globally

Click of the fingers, the light flickers “Well, that’s different”
All of a sudden I’m stunned, the city I’m in is magnificent
We’re more considerate, less ignorant 
We’re literate and litter-free. The liberties are literally limitless

Energy’s clean, there’s no pollution, It’s ridiculous,
City looking like it’s straight out of a picture book 
Visit us and you’d be pretty surprised
Cos finally I’m living in city of light

[Kholdt]
Life's too short to /fear the borders
My eyes off my /porch,
Seeing land forms a/ppear in the corners
Of my /eyes, realize that I'm in /Europe
Dressed fresh in linens, 
getting convinced that /Venice's 
Water is mixed with /syrup.
On a gondola, 
de/cidin my time has come to /purpose
My path with what I'm /sure of
I want- these clean /streets, 
Sweets, and to see my /work off


/suitcase and deuces with D'USSÉ
Amused by the /music
on The Blueprint, a /new day
To craft what I'll have
Come to Poland just to focus
My past and my /new wave. 
what does the truth say?

[Kholdt]
Im Back to 9 to 5s, drive
A Saturn to Mars- in charge
Of candy packing them bars
Ain't last with the passion from /stars
40 hours for a /coward to  ponder 
The lack of /power your packing
many expandin 
Their advancements at /large
Im- Still living In my /district, 
it's distractin, to observe
...Posters of vegas
...I holstered my vacation
Days for later payment
I Suppose I'll be waiting

[Noodle]
The lights are fading, as harshly as they came in
This scene has shifted, like a Dali or Picasso painting
Strive for perfection but never attain it
Now my vision for life has been so viciously tainted it

The cityscape is permanent draped in a certain shade of grey, 
It hurts to face so prematurely I’m turning away
Can’t escape,  it’s undetermined where I might go
We are all indiscernible when the lights go out

City Of Light - Kholdt x Noodle (Prod. BeatsByPento)

NOODLE LYRICS:
Heck boy you’re a pest, I better suggest you 
Collect your toys and go stress the next boy
I’m getting vexed, when I step to my next ploy
Who’s spitting their lyrics In Spanish? ESTOY

Gosh darn, it’s hard but I done tried
You're a shit rapper with dumb rhymes, you’re unkind
Sometimes, um I’m, dumbstruck, tongue tied

I guarantee I’ll write a verse, a word or a line
That gets inserted further inside of your mind
I’ll be killing your lyrics before you murdering mine
I’ll knock you out but you're slurring: “seriously I’m fine!”

Every lyric puts me further in time
Towards achieving my dream of releasing an EP
With 6 sick 16s covering 3 beats
For me that doesn’t seem to be easy

Got a complexion that’s suggesting I’m dead set for shit job
It’s impractical I’m practising hip hop
Well actually, it’s not. I’m actually tip top
Let me speed it up like I’m Seabiscuit. Clip clop

Cleverly hitting irregular bars, spitting it hard
Never be getting permission to kill it but still I be hitting the lyrics incredibly fast
Listen to lyrics and quick as I spit em, they hitting your ears and painting a vision
I’m hitting the limit of syllable rhythm, whatever the task, I’m instantly winning

LYRICS:
They call me Mega Man, see me fight on the streets
I'm on it like Sonic, like twice every week,
Double Dragon? I spit fire when I speak 
Game Over, nah I thrive in defeat

I see you stumbling, Wandering under my umbra,
You're done with the sun, so let me usher you under
No Agro, I don’t mean to be obnoxious
you Shadow is minute, but mine is Colossus

Now you’re playing with power, Nintendo
I’ll send yo ass to suffer your sins in Limbo
Watch you crumble to rubble, flintstone
I’m living in the realm of fire and brimstone

I come from the shadows in the depths of hell
They say I’m the bessie best mate of Jezebel
if you need redemption church service is swell
let me take you down to the 9th Circle of Hell

Dante's Inferno (Cypher Vol. 44 - "Shadows")

Entry for MakingHipHop's Cypher Vol 1 - Beat by LesMoss. Theme: Outsider

LYRICS:
I really really really wanna be a rapper but I’m posh, white, and not funny
I don’t come from the streets, I haven’t got money
I never made it with a lady or hot honey
Asking for advice they just say “You should stop, sonny”

What do they want from me? To get an desk job?
“I need these reports before three” OK yes Bob.
I’d waste my day typing rhymes onto my desk top
Saved with names like ‘Q2 Accounts’ so I don’t get caught

Seems like the kinda routine that I’d get stressed from
Pushing pens without the paper’s bound to make ma head throb
I’d rather get lost in a world of my own creation
and display what I’ve made cos I crave appreciation

I wanna expand my fanbase, and cast my net wider
Soon I’ll be taking off like I’m a jet fighter
Maybe Try Korean Speed Rap with MC Sniper
cos then I know I made it as a real Outsider

Pen Pusher (Cypher Vol. 1 - "Outsider")

Entry for MakingHipHop's Cypher Vol 5 - Beat by @https://soundcloud.com/vortexrecords-pt. Theme: The Clock Is Ticking

LYRICS:
Tick, tock, tick, tock. Wish this clock would stop ticking
It’s been stopping me from finishing this verse that I’ve written
I’m sitting here scribbling with a sense of indifference
I’m serious, I’ve written gibberish, this ticking is hideous, 

I just need to start writing and stopwatching
This audible cacophony is making a mockery
I just wanna be spitting quicker than quartz, quality 
over quantity, and I’m on a mission, like apostrophe

No time for comedy, honestly, this monstrosity
Is like study of my nightmares, it’s horology
About time, so let’s sundial and rewind
Let’s speed it up and see what we find

Sending away oscillatory energy, getting it back on the end of a pendulum
Reckon the length of the pendulum’s relevant, letting us see that the frequencies genuine
Isn’t it better to set an experiment, gather the relevant themes?
Remember the period and the equivalence: equal to 2 pi root L over G

Shit, that’s hell of a scheme, [I guess] I’m not quitting
I’m finally finished with this, but still the clock’s ticking...

Entry for MakingHipHop's Cypher Vol 8 - Beat by https://soundcloud.com/nathansswell. Theme: Everything

LYRICS:
I hate skinny jeans and man buns
and I hate people who say silly things like ’OMG’ and ‘random’

I hate slow internet, I hate noisy eaters
I hate discussing the position of the toilet seat and

I hate spoilers, I hate wasted plastic
I hate the fact I have to battle these wannabe rappers

I hate how much I love snacks
I hate people on crowded trains who insist on wearing bulky backpacks

I don’t not hate double negatives
I hate the fact that I can never decide what to watch on Netflix

I hate getting cold-called, 
No I hate getting cold, and I hate getting called

Rude drivers, tailgaters, queue jumpers, I hate them all and
people sitting next to me with other seats available

I hate people with iPhones
I hate people that hate people that hate people with iPhones

I hate the fact that I got so much to hate
but apart from that, I’m feeling pretty great!

Opinions Are Like Assholes (Cypher Vol. 8 - "Everything")

Entry for MakingHipHop's Cypher Vol 11 - Beat by @https://soundcloud.com/starnutopizza. Theme: Achievements / Desperation

LYRICS:
Feeble people in cathedrals seeking peace from evil demons
See them squeak when it’s revealed there’s no creator only me
Reading through the scripture and they’re pissed at the deceit
It seems to me they missed the sequel where I’m listed as the OG

I’m so multifaceted, I’m dodecahedral
Even keeping it cerebral, my achievements are unequalled,
I studied maths at the world’s best university
That shit was pretty easy, or at least for me personally
I stumbled into rap there, I did it inadvertently 
You know for a fact this ain’t first or last you heard of me

You versus me? Don’t be absurd or perverse
My verses reach the heights that yours have never even heard
You’re getting restless and desperate, that no one’s vibing with your rhymes
But get this, I’m tried and tested, I won this cypher 4 times

Entry for MakingHipHop's Cypher Vol 16 - Beat by @https://soundcloud.com/tyzimmer. Theme: No More

LYRICS:
"I don’t wanna be the one" to tell you that you fucking suck, 
I know it's harsh but I just call it like I see it
"I don’t wanna be the one" to tell it to you blunt
but fuck it you should stop and honestly I mean it

Each week I see these fiends
No beat, weak flow and easy themes
I been giving you advice but I never see you take it
That maybe explains why you ain’t gonna make it?

No more lyrics if you're spitting on an iPhone
No more raps if it’s written like a kid
No more tracks if you can’t mix and master
None of this shit if it’s something that I never did

You’re not clever, kid
You’ll get better if you heed my advice when I’m giving it
It’s just etiquette, you better get it in your blood like a sedative 

You better quit, it’s been decided
You might be on a journey but I’m the guy driving
If you haven’t won the cypher it’s time to stop trying
Getting the gold mic has kinda been my thing

"I don’t wanna be the one" to tell you that you fucking suck, 
I know it's harsh but I just call it like I see it
"I don’t wanna be the one" to tell it to you blunt
but fuck it you should stop and honestly I mean it

Entry for MakingHipHop's Cypher Vol 17 - Beat by @https://soundcloud.com/a-e-g-i-s. Theme: Heroes

LYRICS:
They say you should never meet your heroes
If that’s the case then I’m surprised that you’re listening
I write sick writtens and I’m quick in delivering
But that might be a twist in the position you’re envisioning

My flow’s different, just go with it, got no rhythm
I hope that I get forgiven by Togean
No gimmicks, I’m dope and i’m inimitable
Spitting lyrics with unlimited syllables

Cos I got so many skills, let me list ‘em: I’m invisible 
I bend time, I fly, read minds, I’m unkillable
You'll catch me on the cover of Vanity Fair
As I take away the space from Hayden Panettiere

I’m an odyssey, a prophecy, a prodigy with modesty
I’m the Man to keep your Iron, Star quality
You’re Loki garbage, I’m a Marvel, understand me
You’re sitting offscreen like a Plan B Stan Lee

It had to be: this track finished with a casualty
“Show me a hero, and then I’ll write you a tragedy” - F. Scott Fitzgerald

LYRICS:
2 dudes move through with a screw loose
Who knew who’s who? Boo hoo, you do
3 expressions spreading venom with their message
But I’m never getting stressed because I’m guessing that it’s voodoo

Too soon? Screw you to the 5th power
Making faces at the taste cos it’s a bit sour
7 seconds till I’m getting in my element
11 bits of evidence indicative of cleverness

I realise that my desires they require me
To find a higher vibe, and not to sit and kick it quietly
I push it to the limit, I’m behaving kinda violently
But what can I say, I’m not surprised that it surprises me!

So fire me, and find out what kinda guy I might like to be
Why remind me of a time with higher piety
Sobriety. Still one thing that evades me. 
That I made it past 13 never ceases to amaze me  
Crazy

LYRICS:
Tryna write to a cypher with no theme
Is the time we find what Sispyhean means
A game with no team, a story with no book
A beat with no hook, a day with no dream

I’m sitting here wishing I’m spitting vividly lyrically 
Every minute I’ve written another killer bit literally
I’m seeking the release to speak of an inner me but
The position I sit in is giving limited imagery

I wait another week, I wanna write another cypher
I’m running out a steam like a defeated fire fighter
I was hoping that the beat was gonna show some inspiration
But this week’s theme? it puts the 'no' in innovation 

Tryna write to a cypher with no theme
Is the time we find what Sispyhean means
A game with no team, a story with no book
A beat with no hook, a day with no dream

LYRICS:
Never wanna get stressed in the first place
Hurts in the worst way, searching for mercy
Feel misplaced like a hearse at a birthday
Nerves get burst like the earth in an earthquake

Make a decision and stick with it
Take the path that you envisioned
Blaze the way with no gimmicks
Don’t listen to the limits that your setting on your own image

You’re not first person to go through this
You hope to grope for a rope but you know it’s clueless
Take a seat, I’ll be a teacher you can be my student
You can be my student

Of course the remorse is a course for improvement
Forcing your choice to ignore all the stupid
A useless wounded human losing fluid
Through music, a putrid root is proven to move to a tulip

LYRICS:
Accept it, I’m the best bit of reddit
It’s not stretch to suggest you gotta give me credit
This cypher died in a fire right as I left it
So you’ll never let me forget just how big my head is

Petravita’s getting wins left, right and centre
But remember back to back is something I invented
And Brandon I don’t mean to jeopardise our friendship
But you can claim my throne only after I relented

Check my history, it’s literally and visibly 
The biggest pile of rhymes you’ll see on this side of infinity
The best MC in the immediate vicinity
I find my kind of clever rhymes are better than you’ll ever be

But get this, i suggest this in jest, it’s
A fact that actually I been kinda stressed, it’s
A blessing that you let me get these feelings off my chest, this
Is the first time in my life that I’ve felt accepted

LYRICS:
So most of the days, I’m hoping to fake emotion
Frozen in place, it’s totally plain, I’m broken
Open to making a moment and taking it slow
But it blatantly shows I’m vacant with no way that I focus

It’s hopeless, and you know that I hate it
No way to make my day great when that’s the way my brain is
I face it, with a vague aim to embrace it
But today’s the day that I ain’t gonna make it

Slow way down, show grey clouds
No hope so don’t stay down
Go home to a place in the same town
No roads show the way to the playground

Change pace to evade any lame clown
I hate to waste space when the parades out
I hate the rain, I wait for it to change now
But every day, the pain makes the same sound

LYRICS:
Ever since I was a young kid, I done tons of dumb shit
Bust hip, cut lip, scuffed fist, gum split
I know whenever I’m left I can’t be trusted
I’m constantly wondering if mums pissed

I broke one wrist, on my sixth birthday
Like wine in reverse, I find I get worse with age, 
each day displays my worst behaviour
Played games, stayed late, best mate's the saviour

So I made it, now I’m twenty four
Older, wiser, nicer, but plenty sore
Faced many great days, there’ll be many more
Life’s what you make it, take open any door

Born in London, but for me, that’s not home
My flow’s icy like the nice streets in Stockholm
That’s right see, you might find me in Sweden
I find my life leading to the garden of Eden

LYRICS:
If you’re asking me who my heart’s after, it’s not hard to see
I really need to be with that Spartan fiend, Master Chief
It seems to me that Cortana is half-heartedly
Being his queen so he needs a new partner: me

King of his army, sitting six and half feet
Uniquely disarming, makes me weak in a heartbeat
His hardened armour proving more than a fistful
But you’ll see me sneak through like I’m a love-guided Plasma Pistol

You wouldn’t believe me, if I told ya
I’ve fallen for cybernetic super-soldier, oh yeah
Every day, when I wake, wanna stay at home
And load up yet another game of Halo

LYRICS:
Of course it’s true, you knew my fortitude
People speak to me, preceding needs to even talk to you
Never seen a squeak, a peep, a morsel or a thought of you
but I give Life a Meaning, people think of me as Forty Two

I spit raps quick, twist back with a smash hit
I wish you get scratched when attacked by a split hatchet
this shit, that shit, get lit with matches
I’ll slip a Disc to assist your death, Mr. Pratchett

I’m getting a vision of this:
Bringing definitive rhythms and penning a lyric a minute to visit a pinnacle
Sending my enemies to the abyss
They say:
His lyrics are half ethereal, bringing His Dark Materials
Spitting impirical evidence dripping with venom and giving a faster burial

It’s hard to care at all
I ask the Father after answer
Master grafting, last departure, rather hard to mask the laughter
And I’m a parting gift which consists of four different things
Considered a God to Americans, as well as a Lord of the Rings

and I’m a guy who’s more a barker than a biter, like a Poodle
The truth is: the solution is Noodle

In conclusion, there’s no confusion, no voodoo, delusion
No removal, no refusal, only approval
Let’s get feudal, I’m no liar
My rhymes are tighter, lines are fire
Your vibe is fine but mine is nicer

Read between the lines to see I make you think and make you laugh
Running my mouth can cause hot water, I implore to save the bath
No need for Archimedes to repeat these eurekas
I wish this mystery is enlisted to history cos

I’ve never seen as weak MC’s as these feeble people
It seems to be that in my sleep, it’s easy for me to defeat ya

Bringing artillery in my delivery
Vividly spitting an image of centuries old
Missing in misery, lyrically giving a victory
MYSTERY SOLVED.

Eureka (Cypher Vol. 13 - "Solving A Mystery")

Beat by Torcz

LYRICS:
I can write a cypher at night, find me with eyes closed
Spitting the lyrics with precision, dismissing typos
Spilling ink from my pen as the rhyme flows
By Jove, I know that you’ll like how my vibe goes

Clinical delivery, minimal inefficiencies
Killing opposition within critical vicinity
Effortlessly bringing it from here into infinity
Wishing you’d admit to my unlimited ability

Whoever I’m with, I know I’m instantly winning
At this higher altitude, the competition is thinning
Seriously I insist that you should quit reminiscing
Cos I need you to admit that this is just the beginning

HOOK:
I’ll be winning in a minute
I’ll be winning in a minute
I’ll be winning in a minute
So you better come and get it
I’ll be winning in a minute

I’m the top of my game, and I’ll only getting higher
Rising by my heat cos I keep spitting fire
You’ll get ignored if you're hitting up my phone
I'm not gonna respond when I’m sitting on my throne

Give it 5 years: I’ll be famous at last
Give it 5 years, you’ll be way in the past
Give it 5 years: I’ll be breaking them hearts
I said give it 5 years and see my name in the charts

HOOK

Listen, I’m giving you a great chance
To get on board when you see me flying straight past
Chilling at the top might get kinda lonely
When you’re sitting beneath me, repeating “if only”

Certainly burst on the scene
Hurts to rehearse when the verse is a dream
For sure it works that I’m first on the team
Searching for dirt but the curtain is clean
Every person has heard of me
Worked to the teeth to be earning my keep
I deserve to be leading, I’m sure that you’re weaker
It’s hurts to be beaten
Please don’t take it personally.

I reckon that I’m better at irregular tempo
Limiting the damage when I leave you in the dead zone,
Didn’t get the memo that I’m giving on the dress code
Never mind the weather when you’re living on the death row

Let’s go, take a walk alfresco, might clear your head
I’m making a buzz in the rap scene, come find me lightyears ahead

Five Years

Entry for MakingHipHop's Cypher Vol 16 - Beat by @https://soundcloud.com/itsfuturetime/lesmoss-037. Theme: Back In The Day.

LYRICS:
Back in the day, I’m happy to play, I’m acting my age
Life’s a spectacular stage, mapping the way the tapestry plays out
The same doubt is changed to way bigger
The vision of my life restricted to a vague figure

I’ll stay with ya, from thicker to thinner
It’s a shame if I can’t pick a path to claim that I’m a great winner
I realise I need to realise my real life
These eagle eyes, they need to peek and see If I will be alright

[CHORUS]
It seems to me that I been living on a tightrope
I let the wind decide the path on which my life goes
I need to breathe, release the knife that’s up to my throat
Sweet relief provides belief that I might grow

Fast forward past the awkward lines and harsh chorus
Find a time with more than forty fans adoring my performance
Of course its, enormous, euphoric, I await the day
My name and face is listed next to great in your thesaurus

Tightrope (Cypher Vol. 16 - "Back In The Day")

Entry for MakingHipHop's Cypher Vol 16 - Beat by @https://soundcloud.com/mcgingy/feelin-like-this. Theme: Growth.

LYRICS:
Another dimension of demented emcees
Seems to me to be the season that was meant to be seized
Leaving centuries of sentimental mental fatigue
and it’s mental to be empty of any mention of me

The summer sun is something suddenly seen
So we seek the secrets sweeping on the summery breeze
Sitting under the trees or we succumb to the heat
The mercury is creeping up into a hundred degrees

If life’s a plant, then hard graft is the stem
It’s only me against I, and never you versus them
First you heard me in verse and now you heard me again
Make an oath towards growth, I pledge my word to the end

Read between the lines to see I make you think and make you laugh
Running my mouth can cause hot water, I implore to save the bath
No need for Archimedes to repeat these eurekas
I wish this mystery is enlisted to history cos

Another dimension of demented emcees
Seems to me to be the season that was sent on a breeze

Entry for MakingHipHop's Cypher Vol 19 - Beat by @https://soundcloud.com/fiori-ds/background-fiori-ds?in=fiori-ds/sets/sweet-vanilla. Theme: Mornings.

LYRICS:
(Tossing and turning, think I’m waking at last...)

Great, the alarm rings, I can’t think straight
Dreaming sweet dreams so peacefully-
Wait, time to wake, nothing to gain, nothing to lose
Forgive me if I wanna hit the button to snooze

Eyelids droop, I lay my head to rest
In the middle of the pillow as my mind resets
I digress, oh yes, watch me soar in the clouds
Feeling way more alive than if I’m walking around

Down a corridor, seems the end is never in sight
Evil beasts are creeping in the dead of the night
It might be worse, I could be naked in class
Tossing and turning, think I’m waking at last

Great, the alarm rings, I can’t think straight
Dreaming sweet dreams so peacefully-
Wait, time to wake, nothing to gain, nothing to lose
Forgive me if I wanna hit the button to snooze

(Eyelids droop, I lay my head to rest...)

Entry for MakingHipHop's Cypher Vol 52 - Beat by @Greekianian. Theme: Faith.

LYRICS:
Face it, I’m useless
I step away, take a break from the music
Ain’t no way I can do this
The truth is in my view it’s a mountain 
and I’m doubting that I’m able to move it

Screw this, I got the faith I can do this
Pave the way for a new hit
Leaving haters in my wake
They be blowing up my cell, I’m like ‘new phone who dis’?

I wanna have to go at this properly
Cos in a minute there ain’t nobody stopping me
I’mma grow, I’m a prodigy
I don’t wanna make the journey on my own, Nomadic Odyssey

We’re stronger together
making the trek even in the face of inclement weather
Disillusion and fear is understandable
But confronted by the alps, I’m Hannibal

LYRICS:
Kick it off with my tip top hip hop, 
Knowing it’s hot cos if not
I get brain freeze so watch as my lips lock
Lyrics slip off lips not like hot lip gloss

I make music, give the flu to a greek letter
This iota Ro, cos he nu I could be beta
When I rap about rap I guess I go meta
They scream my name like “Noodle! He’s so mega!”

A go getter, a flow setter, with mo cheddar
Write nice rhymes just to show that I’m so clever
Hot flows suppose I need no sweater.
What no? I should no better.

I could be in a band but I’m not that elastic
I practice rap cos I’m wack at gymnastics
Uneven bars, my rhythm needs practise
It’s not my vault I can’t backflip - 

I’m not a perfect 10, I’m like a 75
There ain’t no other rappers that are better than I 
And I dream of sick lines like ever-y night, 
And I’m so good with words I’m like cleverly bright

And I’m a nice guy, right, I’m polite, and I’m eloquent
Some say I suffer from a slight speech impediment
IRRELEVANT, doesn’t make me unintelligent
When I step in the room, you best address the elephant

"Leave competition in the dust
Refined delivery's a must
Noodle's gonna set the place ablaze"

I think it’s evident I’m arrogant
I’m the type of guy that likes the taste of his own medicine
Backing up my claims with experimental evidence
I’m like Einstein, I’m back in my element.

All these other rappers acting fake like silicon
Can’t wait till they argon, I’mma Barium
But I’m better than great, I’m beryllium
I’m the best rapper in my group. Period.

You’re gassed that I’m noble where my prize at, 
I’m going global, they call me Pfizer
Flow’s so cold it froze into a snowball
Growing in size, they say the limit’s where the sky’s at

Why’s that? Well you make your own destiny
Every day when I wake, something’s stressing me
My hopes and dreams going up in an effigy
Wake up, go to work, day ends, rest in peace, 

In my daily life, I make the grind of an 8 to 5.
It’s a waste of time and I hate to say it but it’s a waste of life, 
I find myself laying awake at night and I’m surprised
Cos If variety is spice, I’m craving to be tasting life.

So late at night I take my stationary case and get moving
Writing with chocolate pens on sugar paper can be time-consuming
Got my sweet tooth in, but I’m still hungry
Writing every night of the week and head to work Monday

Hi ho, it’s off to work that I go
Why though, I just wanna skive so, I know
You’ll see me hiding in the pool like I’m lilo
Like a villain, catch me chilling on the ride home

Side note, you might know that I wrote
Most of my rhymes on the side of iPhone
How? I got a microscopic biro
And it’s gyroscopic so it writes even if I don’t

I get the mic and I record to my computer
Check the beat and pass it on to my producer

A little mix and a grandmaster, I’d be impressed with
The Glory Days’ in my DNA, do you get The Message?
Cos if not, then you should check the reference
Talk to small kids for the first one and big ones for the second
Don’t stress if you don’t get it, cos trust me, you best believe: 
In time you’ll all be lining up just to reference me.

"Leave competition in the dust
Spark a match and then we bust
Noodle's gonna set the place ablaze"

Entry for MakingHipHop's Cypher Vol 16. Beat: https://soundcloud.com/cynguk/lff-171. Theme: Supervillains.

LYRICS:
Show me a hero and then I’ll write you a tragedy 
Actually drop to your knees or it’s practically blasphemy
Let’s get super, I’m the next Lex Luthor 
Took a visit from the Sandman and I met Fred Krueger

Leatherface, masked Bane and Darth Vader make a harsh pain
Feel the Venom in my veins, like Voldemort is snorting shit
Poison in my IV, right beside the tourniquet
Doctor Octopus adopted darkness, “I was born in it”

Shit, time to find a large bible 
I’m homicidal, no signs of survival if I’m your arch rival
Terminate your life, behind the grey curtain
You’re not a pray person? “I find your lack of faith disturbing”

I suggest you get a Lecter from a therapist
cos seven splits of Agent Smith remains a lesser nemesis
Never mind, this Megamind is quite Mysterious
and I’m delirious, I’m thinking, "Why so serious?"

Write You A Tragedy (Cypher Vol. 1 - "Supervillains")

My mum used to tell me "you're NOT funny and you're NOT clever". This is me desperately trying to prove her wrong.
